High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 197: Chapter 121: Plenty of Time_1

Under the sunlight, the gypsy witch seemed to be surrounded by a faint halo, causing anyone who looked at her to feel dizzy.

The new students standing next to her seemed to have transformed. The boys stood tall and courteous, while the girls rivalled them with radiant smiles and sparkling eyes.

They all seemed to have turned into Alpha Academy’s gentlemen and ladies in an instant.

Zheng Qing felt the peculiar atmosphere and pondered over it.

When faced with an outstanding individual, humans try to present their best side unless they choose to hide due to inferiority.

Perhaps it’s a manifestation of human social nature.

Wizards made no exception.

However, the gypsy witch, who caused these changes, seemed oblivious to the unusual surroundings.

Her big bright eyes focused on Zheng Qing, asking when she could start learning about talismans.

”So, when would be convenient for you?” Elena put her hands in front of her stomach, illustrating extreme politeness. The tarot cards she usually carried around weren’t visible anymore.

Her eyes were really clear!

Like a mirror.

Looking at his reflection in her big eyes, Zheng Qing’s mind drifted off, yet he spoke unrelated words.

”I have free time every day.” He emphasized first, then added, ”I usually engage in morning practice at six; you know, the morning breath control practice of Taoists ... so I’m free before morning classes.”

Xin Fat Man coughed heavily behind him, his voice filled with doubt.

Zheng Qing casually moved a step aside to block Xin Fat Man’s view then continued,

”I usually don’t take naps at noon, um, so I usually have free time from one to two in the afternoon under normal circumstances.”

Zheng Qing analyzed diligently, ignoring Xiao Xiao’s teasing smiles. He even began to believe his claim of not taking naps at noon.

”As for the afternoon... I am free after school lets out. So generally, I’m available from five in the afternoon until ten at night.” He did not hesitate to share his entire free time, then added with minor regret, ”Since Grandpa Niwu might leave early at night, I have to return to the dorm early.”

He completely overlooked his meal times and the need to complete the tasks assigned by professors.

”As for Saturdays and Sundays”, Zheng Qing looked at the large bright eyes in front of him and made up his mind, ”I usually stay in the library or dorm over the weekend... I don’t like to go out. So I can tutor you at any time on the weekend.”

”Cough! Cough cough! Cough! Cough cough!” Xiao Xiao started coughing violently nearby.

His cough was so intense that Elena looked back at him, worried.

”Are you okay, do you need to see Mrs. Bella?” She looked at Xiao Xiao worriedly and asked softly.

The other students around also looked at this infamous special recruited student with concern.

”It’s alright, it’s alright.” Xiao Xiao waved his hand repeatedly, his face unchanged. The violent cough from just now vanished without a trace.

”I have cough medicine in my bag.” Zheng Qing gritted his teeth and glared at Watermelon Head, trying to intimidate him to leave with his eyes.

”No need...” Xiao Xiao shrugged, holding his huge black-shelled notebook, he left with grace.

Zheng Qing watched his back suspiciously, feeling that his look held deeper meanings.

”To put it simply,” Seeing Elena turn back, Zheng Qing quickly drew his attention away from Watermelon Head and summarized, ”Besides the time for classes and sleeping, I am free at any other time.”

After saying that, he stared eagerly at the gypsy witch in front of him, wearing a silly smile on his face.

Elena was pressing her lips tightly, seemingly trying to suppress her laughter. Her big eyes were glittering, making Zheng Qing dazed and confused.

”You’re too...” She whispered a word, but Zheng Qing didn’t catch it. He just saw her rosy lips tremble slightly.

”Although I would like you to spare some time each day to tutor me,” the gypsy witch somehow had her hands behind her back now. She leaned slightly forward, her legs closed together, revealing her red studded boots. She lowered her eyes and softly said, ”But we have assignments from the professors... and you need to eat.”

To hell with homework! Zheng Qing roared inwardly, and what’s more, there’s enough beauty to feast on!

Who needs to eat with an enchanting woman in front of me! Sigh!

”Oh, indeed.” He nodded stupidly.

”I wouldn’t want to be accused of mistreating our academy’s high-achieving students.” Elena lifted her eyes, bit her lip, and after trying to hold back, finally burst into giggles.

Zheng QIng laughed with her in bewilderment, not knowing where the humor lay in her words.

”You’re free Saturday or Sunday afternoons, right?” Elena restrained her laughter and said somewhat shyly, ”According to the rules, I need to make time to contact Caldera Tower over the weekend. Because of the influence of the school’s protection array, the specific time is not certain, so...”

Zheng Qing nodded in understanding.

Caldera Tower is one of the wizard towers held by the gypsy witches, located in the Balkans of Europa. Elena is a student from this tower.

”It’s okay.” Zheng Qing laughed, ”As I just said, I have time on Saturdays and Sundays. Just send me a small paper crane when it’s most convenient for you!”

”Then it’s settled!” The witch clenched her little fists, waving them in front of her.

Zheng Qing nodded happily.

”Well, if there’s nothing else,” Elena tilted her head toward a group of chattering witches not far away. The tarot cards reappeared in her hands and were flipping quickly between her fingers, ”I will join them.”

”Um, see you!” Trying to control his eagerness to keep her longer, Zheng Qing nodded firmly.

It’s best not to be overly eager, he comforted himself. There will always be time in the future.

The witch’s figure soon disappeared into the moving crowd.

It’s unclear when, but the atmosphere around had returned to the usual mood of Jiuyou Academy.

Today is Friday.

Tomorrow is Saturday.

The day after tomorrow is Sunday.

That is, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he will start tutoring Elena in talismans.

Zheng Qing looked up at the sun in the sky and wished he could kick the big red ball off the horizon.

”It’s a long day.” He mused inwardly.

”Hello.”

A somewhat rude voice interrupted Zheng Qing’s thoughts.

He looked back unhappily and saw a muscular figure with a crew cut standing in front of him.

Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It was Andrew Taylor, as Xiao Xiao introduced before, he was from a rebellious young werewolf family.

But what could he possibly want from me?

Zheng Qing looked puzzled. He could not recall any dealings with the werewolves!
