The eighth week of the second semester of his sophomore year quietly disappeared from Zheng Qing's college career.
Zheng Qing was walking on the empty campus, and when he wanted to chat with Xiao Xiao as usual, he suddenly realized that it was already the day of spring hunting. For three consecutive days starting from yesterday, most of the young wizards in the school would participate in hunting in the Silent Forest.
, and he was still studying hard, which made him feel like he had been abandoned by the world.
"Fortunately, I'm not alone."
He stretched out his fingers and scratched the black gem cat lying on his shoulder. His mood was a little complicated: "If I am really the only one in class these three days, it will be too difficult."
The black gem cat lazily bit his fingertips, indicating that he heard the wizard's complaints.
Because he graduated early, Zheng Qing did not need to participate in this year's Spring Hunt, but also because he needed to graduate early, while others were having fun in the silent forest, he had to rush between different classrooms to attend classes.
Of course, he is not alone.
There are many students in the school who are also not required to participate in the spring hunt.
For example, some senior students who are about to graduate and need to make up for their credits, such as international students or advanced students from the New World, or students similar to him who are also applying to graduate early.
"This way!"
A familiar voice came from not far away, which immediately made the wizard's depressed mood rise. The originally lazy black gem cat's eyes lit up, and he jumped off his shoulder. When he caught up with the black gem cat,
By then, it had climbed onto the shoulder of another witch and was rubbing its temples with a white jade cat's ears.
So shameless.
"Your transformation skills are getting better and better." Jiang Yu patted the black gem cat's head and praised it.
Zheng Qing noticed that his cat was squinting its eyes and stretching its neck, allowing the witch to caress it. It showed no sign of impatience as it had just bit him, and he was speechless.
He had reason to believe that if this cat was a real live cat, it would have begun to purr comfortably at this moment.
"Sometimes, being too good at transfiguration is not a good thing." He muttered, a little nostalgic for the days when the black gem cat had just transformed. It was well-behaved and clingy, without any scum.
"why not?"
There was a hint of confusion on the witch's face, and she handed him a cup of milk tea at the same time: "...If we learn the clone transformation technique earlier, wouldn't it be easier for us?"
When Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu chose the clone deformation technique, apart from the fact that they had a certain foundation in the deformation technique and could get credits more easily, the more important reason was that the transformed clones could rest instead of their masters, which was equivalent to providing free training for the two of them.
, an advanced energy-restoring medicine with no side effects.
"Having said that -"
As soon as Zheng Qing finished saying these words, he saw the black gem cat riding on the back of the white jade cat. He was so frightened that he took a hard sip of milk tea, and then immediately choked on a slippery pearl.
"——Cough, cough!"
The boy coughed hard, and while the witch was patting him on the back, he quickly grabbed the black gem cat from her shoulder and stuffed it into his pocket.
Jiang Yu didn't know why and glanced at the black cat struggling in the wizard's pocket and the white cat licking its paws as if nothing had happened: "——What is this?"
"Like, ahem, having said that, the transformation spells are so good, sometimes they can help you get into trouble."
The wizard pinched his pocket angrily and warned the black gem cat to stay calm. At the same time, he took a sip of milk tea nervously: "Hey, you know, well, after a clone that looks like you goes out, the efficiency of causing trouble will be doubled immediately.
.Even if it is just a cat. This kind of trouble makes people have a headache just thinking about it.”
"Most people don't have this problem."
The witch couldn't help but smile. Looking at the boy's slumped expression, she quickly changed the topic: "But speaking of the Spring Hunt... Actually, I think that after what happened in the Silent Forest a few days ago, the school should cancel this year's Spring Hunt.
Hunting, Qi Qi, you know——"
Nearly a week later, the reason behind last Sunday’s own ban has been spread through various channels. Although it has not been published yet, almost every student at First University knows that a horse man
The tribe disappeared deep in the Silent Forest.
This also caused this year's spring hunt to fall into a strange and tense atmosphere at the beginning.
"——Those crows haven't been caught yet." Zheng Qing responded, speaking for the witch what she had not finished.
Jiang Yu nodded slightly, bit the straw, and looked around.
It is now noon. The two of them have just had lunch and are walking along the promenade around the lake. Due to the spring hunting, there is no one around. The buffalo and the big flaming birds that usually play in the lake are also missing.
, the lake reflects the bright sunshine and sparkles, making people feel good just looking at it.
The two people enjoyed the pleasant scenery quietly.
After a while.
But they spoke in unison.
"Li Meng..." Zheng Qing just said two words and immediately shut up.
"Luna..." Jiang Yu also happened to look over.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, then laughed together.
"Li Meng went to play with Su Ya. It's Saturday and she doesn't need to go to school." Jiang Yu seemed to have guessed what Zheng Qing wanted to ask. Before he could speak, she smiled and said, "Besides, she's not a child either.
You don't need me to keep an eye on them all the time... Don't worry, I'll let Lin Guo follow them, and I won't spoil 'one, two, three'."
Zheng Qing twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.
Because of their age, Li Meng and Lin Guo were not allowed to participate in the Spring Hunting. Zheng Qing also knew through Maodou early in the morning that the little girl ran to Qingqiu Mansion. He was inevitably worried that the two naughty girls would lead his big elves into trouble.
.
At this time, Jiang Yu heard that Lin Guo was also following him, and she felt relieved.
"Luna was just a little frightened, nothing serious." Zheng Qing also took the initiative to answer the witch's concern, and added: "But I heard it in the office of the teaching assistants. I don't know the specific situation."
Because of the accident in the Silent Forest - when Zheng Qing visited the Utya tribe on Qingming Festival, it happened that Luna was also a guest in that tribe. At that time, she was returning to school with the team of teaching assistants - Houyhnhnms
My little pony girl didn't go to class for almost the entire week last week.
Jiang Yu smiled.
"What I want to say is that Luna came to me yesterday and mentioned that she wanted to join the Exoneration Hunting Team." She played with the white jade cat and her tone was a little unpredictable: "She knows that I am not the captain of the Exoneration Hunting Team, but
She said that if she applied directly to you, you would definitely not allow her to join the hunting team... so she approached me."
Zheng Qing scratched his head.
"What do you think?"
As soon as the words came out, he shook his head and denied himself: "Your or my opinion is not important. After all, neither of us participated in the hunting team activities this semester. And at the end of this semester, we will graduate.
It is estimated that it will be difficult to coordinate with other people's time to carry out the hunting team mission. I'd better leave this matter to the doctors and others..."
