Monster Hunting High School

Tuesday, April 12th.

Early in the morning, Zheng Qing felt a little uneasy. He always felt that he had overlooked something during his trip to Maoguoshu last night. This feeling reached its peak when he tore up today's old almanac.

Because he accidentally only tore off half of the almanac.

In the eyes of many old-school wizards, this is a very unlucky thing, comparable to meeting a black dog when you go out in the morning.

But recalling it over and over again, that uneasiness is like fishing for the moon in the water, and I still can't find the point.

Until the magic text class in the afternoon.

Zheng Qing entered the classroom and happened to hear Li Meng gossiping with Jiang Yu when he passed by the first row.

"——Su Ya told me that after getting up this morning, there was a general cleaning in the mansion. Zheng Zha's gray dog, which seems to be called Velvet Dou or Edamame, was caught by her lady from the inside out. After washing for an hour, I almost washed my skin off. After washing, I hung it in the small garden to 'dry'. It has been hanging for several hours..."

She spoke happily and danced.

Completely unaware that Zheng Qing had been listening for a long time with a dark face.

"Did she hang up the edamame?" Zheng Qing finally remembered that he seemed to have accidentally betrayed his dog last night, which made him both annoyed and nervous.

You know, ever since Zheng Qing arranged for Maodou to be Dongdong's guard, Su Shijun had whispered in his ear more than once, wanting to stir up this bitch so as not to harm her daughter.

The frightened Maodou had a stress reaction towards her, and the dog would often run away without a trace when she appeared.

It is conceivable that behind Su Ya's few words such as "capture and wash him for an hour" and "hang him in a small garden", there must be a hectic arrest operation.

If the magic class wasn't about to start, Zheng Qing would have wanted to hang eight armor and horse charms on his legs immediately and rush to Qingqiu Mansion as quickly as possible, hoping that the dog's plush bells hadn't been taken off yet.

"Is it because it snitched on you?" Jiang Yu obviously also remembered a certain inconspicuous memory of the white jade cat last night, and his expression suddenly became a little weird.

Zheng Qing frowned.

Li Meng glanced at him and interrupted abruptly: "——If you want to save that dog, you'd better go faster. That means Su Ya has a good relationship with it, well..."

She realized it later and shut up.

Zheng Qing also realized that what this girl just said was probably for him. He was even sure that Su Ya ordered her to do this. In a sense, this was probably a mutual exchange between lower-class canine creatures. Help - dog helps dog.

"This is not a problem that a paper crane can solve."

Jiang Yu tapped the letter paper on the table and shook her head slightly: "The longer a family has a long history, the stricter the rules in the family... It is indeed easy to get caught for casually revealing the secrets of the master's family... …The problem is, if she treats you as one of her own, she shouldn’t attack Edamame.”

"The family can't let the servants gossip between the masters." Li Meng added a very objective and silly sentence next to him.

Then she immediately received a sharp look from her cousin.

She was so frightened that she immediately buried her head in the magic text handout in front of her.

Zheng Qing sighed: "——I'll let the black gem cat go over and take a look. If you can put it down, put it down first. As for other things..."

He paused and added solemnly: "...I will ask about this matter clearly."

The implication is that he will seek justice for Maodou.

…

…

Zheng Qing originally planned to rush to the Qingqiu Mansion in person as soon as the magic text class was over to deal with Maodou's trouble. But the plan could not keep up with the change. After class, he was stopped by Professor Monteria.

"Don't leave yet, let's have a brief chat." The magic text professor motioned to the young wizard passing by the desk to wait for a moment. He was explaining to a witch the difficult points in today's class.

The professor's words were clearly more important than personal matters.

In particular, Professor Monteria also serves as the deputy dean of the Edge College, and Zheng Qing is the teaching assistant of the Edge College, which is a dual leadership.

Zheng Qing stayed in front of the podium anxiously, checking the time almost every five seconds. Jiang Yu made a helpless gesture to him not far away.

Until the last student who asks a question is sent away.

The professor finally noticed the wizard rubbing his hands and feet and was slightly surprised: "What, is there anything else?"

"Well," the boy hesitated for half a second, and then thought of a suitable excuse: "I have another class in the afternoon... There is only half an hour of conversion margin."

He chose his words carefully.

Others might not understand it, but Professor Monteria, a great wizard, understood it immediately.

"Oh, that secret text on the talisman? It doesn't matter. I said hello to Professor Yan on the way to class today. It may take you a few minutes."

While he was speaking, the professor had already stepped off the podium, holding the lecture notes in his arms with one hand, and putting his arm around the shoulders of the young teaching assistant, leading him outside the classroom. As he walked, he said: "——But don't worry, just a brief chat. Talking about that project won’t take up too much of your time.”

Zheng Qing, who originally felt a little uncomfortable because Professor Monteria was holding him, finally became less stiff after hearing the words 'that project'.

Strange.

Why do both of them come to me to talk about projects?

Do I look like I have a lot to do with that project?

The boy murmured in his heart and followed Professor Monteria. After exiting the teaching building, he turned into an empty pavilion in the garden next to him. Then he watched the professor put up a translucent barrier.

"There is no one around, so everyone can speak freely if they have any ideas." Professor Monteria was obviously not used to this way of speaking, and he tried his best to put on a kind smile on his face.

This was particularly uncomfortable for Zheng Qing, who was used to his serious appearance.

"I didn't... I mean, I don't know..." He choked, feeling a greeting on his forehead.

Professor Monteria was silent for a few seconds.

"I heard some news. Are you planning to withdraw from the Edge College project?" He asked straight to the point, staring directly at Zheng Qing with his blue-grey eyes.

Zheng Qing blinked, but couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

Damn it, how could someone know about the things that I had just talked about with old Yao Yunli yesterday? He hasn't figured out how to shirk the next experiment yet - the last qualified candidate assessment ended because the data was too 'tidy'. Alex said that the project team might ask him to take the assessment again. Zheng Qingyuan planned to take the assessment a second time. Then politely refuse.

Unexpectedly, before receiving any notification from the project team, the project received attention from a certain stakeholder.

"The final decision has not been made yet, Professor."

In the end, the boy could only bite the bullet and said vaguely: "You know, there is less than a month left until the final. I have to prepare for the graduation exam and thesis defense... In addition, I also have a lot of work as a teaching assistant..."
