High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 423: Chapter 92: The Son of Yota Restaurant’s Boss_1

”What’s that vampire talking to your Gypsy witch about?”

”Elena said it was about homework...”

”So fervently discussing homework? They must be talking about fake homework... I saw you stayed with her for quite a while afterwards. What were you doing? Don’t tell us, were you still talking about homework?”

”...Not homework, but close.” Zheng Qing looked at the burning gazes around him, and finally plucked up the courage to respond: ”It’s about that troublesome talisman, she found some understanding... so we discussed it a bit.”

After finishing, he quickly lowered his head and sipped the corn soup from the bowl.

Even so, the young scholarship student still felt several chilling gazes around him.

”So... you forgot to find a manager for the hunting team... and you spent half a day studying a useless talisman?!” Zhang Ji Xin seemed a bit upset, tearing the croissant in his hand into tiny fragments and dropped them into the plate in front of him.

”That talisman is not useless... Knowledge, after all, is accumulated bit by bit.” Zheng Qing sincerely looked at Elder Zhang Da, trying his best to shift his gaze away from the crumbs in the plate.

”Anger is also accumulated bit by bit.” Xin Fat Man was carefully peeling a kiwi fruit with a shiny dining knife, humming leisurely: ”When anger reaches its limit, the valve will no longer be able to hold it...”

”Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of explosive sounds rang in Zheng Qing’s ears, startling him.

He turned his head and saw Xiao Xiao tapping peas in her plate with a spoon.

The peas were as shiny as if they were coated in oil, with tight skins. When tapped with a spoon, they would explode, blooming like popcorn.

Doctor Xiao’s rapid tapping on the peas, lent a frenzied background sound to the scene.

”This is the cafeteria, mind the noise.” The young scholarship student moved his chair back a bit and gently reminded.

Perhaps this warning had some effect; the chill surrounding him dispersed slightly, which gave Zheng Qing some relief.

”Want a spoonful?” Doctor Xiao offered a spoon of ’Exploding peas’ to the scholarship student, smiling happily: ”Today’s cafeteria special—irritable peas.”

”Great name.” Zheng Qing responded dryly, decisively shaking his head to refuse the explosive peas.

It was now midday.

After the magic class, Zheng Qing intended to find two candidate hunting team managers for preliminary discussions, but he had forgotten about it when he saw Matthew happily chatting with Elena.

By the time he remembered, quite a bit of time had already passed.

Jiang Yu and Liu Fei Fei had vanished without a trace.

For this, Zheng Qing searched many study rooms, even went to the Book Mountain Library where Liu Fei Fei frequently sat, but it was of no avail.

It was as if the two witches had evaporated into thin air, without leaving a trace behind.

”These things happen all the time.” The young scholarship student sat at the dining table and earnestly explained to his companions: ”It’s like in our lives, we can never find our keys or the remote control when we need to... It’s the same thing.”

”Why would you need to find your keys, do you live in a locked room? Also, what is a television...” Zhang Ji Xin stopped tearing the bread in his hands and looked puzzledly at Zheng Qing.

This reply left the scholarship student stunned.

He quickly realized that using experiences from his previous life to explain the occurrences in the magical world might seem inappropriate.

”So... excuses are like the crumbs in a plate, if you keep tearing, you’ll always have some.” The red-faced wizard sneered, picked up the plate in front of him, and poured all the breadcrumbs into the milk aside, stirring it with a spoon.

Zheng Qing twitched his mouth, looked at his greasy eating habits, and wisely remained silent.

If it were a normal day, he would not have hesitated to give a good persuasion.

But today, he was in the wrong, so his eloquence naturally dried up.

”Will you remember to find a hunting team manager in the afternoon?” Elder Zhang Da quickly finished the milk with breadcrumbs in the bowl, smacked his lips, and stared gloomily at the scholarship student across the table.

Zheng Qing nodded his head continuously.

”I think it’s time the Knight Group introduce some reward and punishment measures... otherwise, situations like our ’group leader’ slacking off would inevitably happen again.” Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and made a reasonable suggestion.

This suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by everyone except Zheng Qing.

After lunch, the wizards did not go back to their dormitory for a nap as usual. Instead, they continued to sit together, staying by the spacious dining table in the canteen, discussing the upcoming moon hunting matters.

Of course, Zheng Qing’s morning predicament remained a subject of everyone’s teasing.

”So, you guys just purely discussed the principle of talismans?”

”I thought you would invite her into our hunting team.”

”Demon hunting is such a dangerous thing, Brother Qing certainly wouldn’t let that Gypsy witch take the risk.”

”After all, you still didn’t figure out what the vampire was up to.” Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and looked at the young sponsored student: ”I don’t think he was really discussing homework.”

”Indeed, you need to be careful about this.” Zhang Ji Xin also slightly curbed his anger, frowned, and slowly said, ”I heard from Duan Xiao Jian that the vampire is interested in your house witch...”

Zheng Qing sniffed and pouted, not saying a word.

”This sight, always inspires people to sing.” Xin Fat Man hugged his huge belly and said in a deep voice, ”Now, let me bring everyone human nature’s consideration and moral’s conclusion with my singing.”

”In that faraway place...”

”There’s a large grassland...”

”People pass by the green grass...”

”They all turn back to yearn and look...”

Before the song was finished, the fat man’s singing career was abruptly ended.

He didn’t receive any flowers or applause, but he did receive a brand new Suppression Symbol from Zheng Qing and several sympathetic glances.

”Let’s continue discussing the hunting team training...” Zheng Qing said with a straight face, turning his head to look at the others, ignoring the Fat Man who was sitting beside him with a dumbfounded expression.

At this time, a series of frantic footsteps sounded from a distance.

Everyone turned around and saw a skinny wizard holding a huge tray, running along the aisle like the wind.

The tray was filled with all sorts of food, including several large bowls filled with soup.

”Ah!!!” A female witch who happened to be passing by saw the tray coming at her face and couldn’t help but scream.

Just as a ’horrific’ scene was about to take place in the canteen, the young wizard’s footsteps did not hesitate at all, instead, he increased his pace even more.

However, at the moment when he and the female witch passed by each other, the tray seemed to sprout wings and smoothly flew up from his hand, slid over the female witch’s head, and then landed on his already raised palm on the other side.

”Ex...cu... me...!”

The skinny wizard screamed in a stretched voice and disappeared like the wind at the canteen door.

This scene left the young wizards of the Absolution Knight Group who were in the middle of their meeting stunned.

They didn’t recover for a long time.

”Who is he?” Zheng Qing licked his lips and asked in a dry voice.

”I don’t know.” Zhang Ji Xin looked thoughtful, he pinched his chin and added, ”Looking at his robes, he should be a freshman from Starry Sky Academy... maybe we should ask Blue Bird.”

”You don’t know him?” Zheng Qing turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise.

”You didn’t ask me!” Doctor Xiao snorted proudly, patting the notebook in his arms and said lazily, ”If I’m not mistaken, that wizard should be called Omega... maybe you are more familiar with his father. That Yota restaurant on the pedestrian street is run by his family.”

”The boss of Yota Restaurant?!” Zheng Qing looked shocked: ”But I remember the boss of that restaurant is about two meters tall! And his arms are thicker than an elephant’s leg! How come his son looks so skinny...”

”That’s why, if you’re stupid, you should read more.” Zhang Ji Xin apparently was a little dissatisfied with Zheng Qing’s surprise: ”There are countless amazing training methods in this world... I know at least twenty methods that can shape a brawny man into having a slim and delicate physique.”
