Monster Hunting High School

"You should remember this."

The enthusiastic unknown wizard glanced at the examinee accusingly, and said with a slight emphasis: "——The examiners may not ask about these things, but if they do, you must quickly and accurately describe your experience in practicing transformation. Describe it so there is no mistaking that you mastered transfiguration through black magic rituals or other external techniques.”

Zheng Qing understands the truth.

The question is, why does he feel that the process of learning transfiguration described by this enthusiast is more like some black magic ritual?

His hands unconsciously rested on his belt, and his fingers tapped nervously on his gray cloth bag.

"But," Zheng Qing finally decided to be more prudent, so he defended in a low voice: "When I practiced the transformation technique, I didn't use mandala leaves?"

The expression of the black-robed wizard immediately became serious.

"Then what did you use?" He took a small step back and suppressed the smile on his face: "Oak leaves? Animal skins? Or some other way?"

"No, it's a transformation potion..."

"Transformation potion?" The fat wizard's originally red nose seemed to turn purple for a moment. He looked shocked at first, then fell silent, and finally moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

He just patted the boy on the shoulder, and after a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Ah, the transformation potion... No wonder you have been here for a few months... I mean, it seems that the elders in your family really value you."

"well enough."

Zheng Qing muttered, and his mind immediately flashed to the empty display window of Sanyou Bookstore - if wanting to see but not being able to see is a kind of value, then the gentleman does value himself.

He was full of complaints and did not hear the other words muttered by the black robe next to him. His ears only caught the last sentence.

"——I heard from my friends that the quality of products produced by private pharmaceutical shops is very unstable, and on the contrary, the prices are very expensive; the transformation potions of Fitzl Potions Company are of the most reliable quality, but the prices are cheaper."

Zheng Qing shook his head honestly.

"I don't make it."

He tried hard to recall the transformation potion he had used, and it seemed that it only cost a few coppers: "The cost of my transformation potion was paid by the school's medical insurance... Just fill out the application form every time I use it."

The black-robed wizard's mouth slowly opened and he seemed to have forgotten to close it, which made Zheng Qing worried that his jaw was dislocated. He couldn't help but raise his hand and wave it in front of the other person's eyes.

The slightly fat, slightly bald and slightly poor wizard's eyes were dazed for a moment, then he came back to his senses and looked at someone with a complicated expression: "I never knew the school had medical insurance... No wonder, no wonder..."

No wonder?

Zheng Qing hates guys who speak half-speech, such as Xiao Xiao during the fortune-telling - but, the two words spoken by this fat black man, why do they sound like "sad"?

After suffering successive mental shocks.

The black-robed wizard seemed to have completely lost his interest in talking.

This also made Zheng Qing's ears clear for a while.

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

Soon, a large number of wizards wearing various badges entered the examination room. Before everyone entered, they would take a vague and quick look at the red-robed boy waiting at the door.

Zheng Qing was the last to enter.

When he sat behind his exam desk and raised his head, although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but let out a small breath of cold air. There were three rows of wizards sitting neatly on the invigilator seat in front. Looking around, there were wizards, witches, old wizards, young wizards, black robes, white robes, gray robes, etc. It was dizzying and made people feel panicked and short of breath.

Is the exam to register a shapeshifting wizard so strict?

No wonder the man at the door just now said that this is a magic that tests the wizard's luck.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qing couldn't help but glance at the fat man in black robe standing at the door, but saw that he also had a look of astonishment, and his slightly bald forehead seemed to be covered with question marks.

"Classmate Zheng Qing?"

The thin man in black robe sitting in the center of the invigilator's seat pretended to glance at the list in his hand - Zheng Qing didn't know why he would bother to ask such a question when there was only one candidate in the examination room.

But in the examination room, people have to bow their heads.

"It is to!"

The boy stood up obediently and agreed.

"Sit down, sit down and answer, don't be nervous."

The thin man in black robe waved his hand, looked around, and said in a somewhat tentative tone: "So, let's start today's exam? The exam for registered transformation wizards is divided into two parts: a written test and a practical part. The first thing we will do is the written test... …”

Compared with the exams for Registered Talisman Master or Registered Talisman Maker, the pre-examination introduction for Registered Transformation Wizard is slightly longer and more complicated.

The first step is for the alliance staff to 'identify' and ensure that the wizard taking the exam is the candidate himself. This request is very reasonable, especially since this is an exam about 'Transformation'.

Then, the notary from Danhag distributed a silence contract to all wizards participating in the examination-in addition to keeping the examination questions confidential, more importantly, each examiner needs to keep the candidate's transformed form strictly secret.

Then the supervisor of the trident read out the taboos of using transfiguration to the examinees, such as prohibiting mating after transformation (he emphasized that the offspring produced after transformation are not protected by the Code), prohibiting hunting other small animals after transformation (even killing out of instinct will be considered second-degree murder), prohibiting theft and other criminal activities in the transformed form, etc. Before the end of the reading, he also emphasized that the wizard and his transformed form are regarded as the same entity in the Code. In other words, the crime committed by the black cat is equivalent to the crime committed by Zheng Qing himself.

Immediately afterwards, the white-robed wizard of the school hospital showed the students taking the test the first aid measures after the transformation went out of control, how to ask for help if the examinee noticed that the transformation failed, and the standard process for asking for help, etc.

In addition, the old wizard of the Academic Committee read out the examination discipline in a rhythmic voice; the gray-robed member of the School Workers Committee read out the scope of places where shapeshifters were prohibited from entering; even the joint meeting of professors intervened, holding a "risk notification" and asking Zheng Qing to sign it, indicating that he already knew the risks of taking this exam, and so on.

The long-winded and formalistic preliminary preparations made Zheng Qing drowsy.

Especially today, the sun was good, and the sun shone into this empty house through the tall French windows. It was warm and felt as if you were naked in a hot spring, making it difficult to open your eyes.

Snap!

The light test paper fell heavily in front of the boy, and the breeze squinted his eyes.

"——The written test officially begins!"

The thin wizard dragged out a long tone and announced loudly, and then the eyes of the three rows of wizards in the invigilator fell on Zheng Qing, making him completely sober.
