High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 368: Chapter 37 Difficult Start_1

Noon.

The boys’ dormitory, Room 403.

Zheng Qing, Xiao Xiao, Xin, Dylan, Zhang Ji Xin, Blue Bird, Lin Guo.

The orange cat sprawled on Xin Fat Man’s pillow, lazily purring in pleasure with its eyes closed. Tiny elves climbed up and down its body, braiding the long hair on its orange tail into various small braids.

Zhang Ji Xin was playing a hunting game with Lin Guo - a complicated game evolved from hunting competitions seemed to have regained favor among the students with the arrival of the Moon Hunting. Doctor Xiao, holding his notebook, sat to the side dejectedly recording the game scores for the two.

Zheng Qing sat cross-legged on his bed, arms folded across his chest, seriously looking at a blank piece of paper floating in front of him. Above the paper, a shorthand quill, that had just been purchased from Green’s Grocery, was happily sketching slender lines.

”I told you so! Isn’t it right?” The red-faced boy seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. While his gaze remained on the chessboard before him, he seemed to be well aware of the situation behind him: ”I said before that goods from Green’s Grocery are of high quality and cheap!”

Xiao Xiao hummed a long note.

”You’re doomed!” Lin Guo waved his fists and called out excitedly.

On the chessboard, the auxiliary hunter belonging to the little wizard Alpha had just cut off the escape route of theWild Demon group opposite him, tightening the entire hunting pocket.

Blue Bird, originally leaning against the bedpost behind Lin Guo with his arms folded, couldn’t help but reach out and tousle his neatly combed watermelon head when he saw the boy’s excitement.

Lin Guo turned around, baring his teeth in a radiant smile.

”If I were you, I wouldn’t celebrate so early.” The red-faced boy across from him rolled up his sleeves, energetically directing his own army of Wild Demons into a full defense formation. Following the most conservative posture, he guarded the Demon King in the center and was ready for the opponent’s hunting team’s attack.

”You two lighten up... playing chess is like you’re going to war.” Xin Fat Man grumbled, holding his pillow tighter. He slouched lazily in the recliner, with his legs splayed wide, looking as if he was half asleep.

”Are you really going to sit here all afternoon?” Dylan’s somewhat irritable voice came from not far away.

At this hottest time of the day, Mister Wolfman, who resided in the dormitory, was clearly not very happy with the environment. Although he had already hung up the curtains on his bed, Dylan still insisted on sitting in his coffin, hiding his whole body in the shadow behind the curtains.

The dormitory was still somewhat gloomy.

Now, even the two chess players abandoned their blatant commands to the chess pieces moving around on the sand tray and instead silently directed them using the small control stick provided with the chess board.

At the moment when the atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like it could explode at any moment, the fat man lounging in the recliner stood up abruptly.

”I got it!” he called out, his eyes round and his arms raised high: ”How about ’Code 403’?!”

The little elves who were braiding the orange cat’s tail were startled by the shout. They screeched ”Hehe” and quickly hid behind the amply-bodied fat cat.

Tuan Tuan stopped purring, twitched his whiskers and opened one eye unhappily, giving the fat man a warning glance.

”You scared the living daylights out of me!” Zheng Qing was also startled by the yell. The shorthand feather pen that was floating in front of him suddenly shot a string of transparent holes in the paper.

He put away the pen and paper, looked at the fat man again with a troubled face and asked weakly, ”What did you just say?”

”What I’m saying is, let’s call our club ’Number 403’, what do you think?” Xin Fat Man waved his arms solemnly like he was giving a speech on stage, passionately shouting, ”While it may seem standard, it embodies the true essence of ’Order’! It’s formal and clear at first glance giving a very rigorous impression.”

”Rigorous or not, I don’t know, all I know is your spit just flew onto the face of my Demon King.” Zhang Ji Xin cracked his knuckles ominously.

”I can’t see anything formal about using our dormitory number as a name, let alone rigorous.” Zheng Qing plastered a piece of white paper on his face, lamenting, ”Maybe the Club Union will simply think we’re approaching this half-heartedly based on the name...”

”There’s no wow factor, just feels like a punch in the eye.” Doctor Xiao tersely remarked.

”Plus, also, me, Brother Blue, and Brother Zhang, we aren’t from dorm 403...” Lin Guo urgently counted on his fingers, then added another line, ”Oh, and that little apprentice of Atlas, he’s not from dorm 403 either.”

Blue Bird didn’t say anything, just expressed his disdain with a look.

”This won’t do, that won’t do...at least give a good suggestion!” Xin Fat Man sighed dramatically, slumping back into his chair with despair in his voice, ”It’s just a name, is it necessary to be so nitpicky? We’ve already wasted nearly half an hour on this topic!”

This time, even the coffin lurking in the shadows let out a sigh.

Looking at the variety of names written on the paper in front of him, Zheng Qing also felt a major headache.

After returning from the Pedestrian Street to the dorm, the young wizards’ ’Club Establishment Convention and First Full Members Meeting’ fell into stagnation less than five minutes after it started.

A simple problem that no one expected has stumped everyone.

What should they call their newly formed club?!

”So, in my opinion, you should take my suggestion.” Lin Guo held up a chess piece and, without paying mind to the threatening Huntress, proposed seriously, ”I think ’Starry Sky Invincible Hunting Team’ or ’World’s Best Hunting Team’ can very clearly express our purpose, perfectly showcasing our courage and fearlessness.”

A few seconds of silence filled the dorm, then everyone burst out laughing.

Xin’s laughter was the most exaggerated.

”The name is too big, I’m afraid of straining my waist.” The fat guy chuckled and vetoed.

”The fat guy doesn’t have a waist.” Lin Guo shot him a glance and grumpily sat back down in his chair.

Xin Student opened his mouth and lowered his head to look at the round belly of his own. He pulled a blanket from the bed and silently covered his face.

”What do you guys think of the name ’Gentleman Alliance’?” Dylan’s voice came from the shadows under the tent, explaining in an elegant tone, ”This is a very famous hunting team in Europa history, which once hunted many well-known demons... it’s just a slight borrowing... I don’t think they would mind the simple idea of young wizards in school pursuing their dreams...”

”Anything with gentleman sounds perverse.” Zheng Qing waved his hands quickly, rejecting it over and over, ”Perhaps girls will think this is a ’perverse alliance’... No, no.”

”Why!” Dylan’s voice was full of confusion and doubt, ”Isn’t a gentleman a very elegant and beautiful adjective?”

”That’s an antiquated word from many years ago... you’re out of touch with society.” Zheng Qing commented, ”Maybe you should flip through a modern pop culture dictionary... You know, the old ’go’ means’sprint’, and the modern ’go’ means ’amble’.”

The silence from Dylan’s tent lasted a couple of seconds, finally there came a sigh, ”There’s nothing I can do about it... You know, as a 1200-year-old person, I’m not that sensitive to the changing times.”

”Back to being 1200 years old again?” Xiao Xiao snorted.
