High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 438: Chapter 107 Go to Hunting Ground_1

Go to Hunting Ground, go to Hunting Ground,

Don the cloak and sling the sword, go to Hunting Ground,

Go to Hunting Ground, go to Hunting Ground,

Ride the broom and flying carpet, go to Hunting Ground.

Ride the wind, go to Hunting Ground,

There lies endless wilderness and demons,

Under the twinkling constellations,

Baring bloody fangs.

Cross the rainbow, go to Hunting Ground,

Carrying the sun, the moon, and glory,

The law book shines with vivid colorful glow,

It is the testimony of our courage.

Break through the night, go to Hunting Ground,

Deep in the silent forest,

Lies a peaceful clearing,

The wizard chants his spells,

One, two, three!

The wizard chants his spells:

Broken Bamboo, Continuation Bamboo, Flying Soil, Zhu Rou!

...

...

The sporadic singing, along with the wind, drifted out from the entrance of Hunting Ground No.1.

Even though the stone gate blocked some sound, the young wizards in the audience of Hunting Ground No.1 could still feel the hunting teams’ high spirit and passionate belief.

The chanting ended, and thus the most crucial part of the opening ceremony was concluded.

Professor Yao had disappeared from view at some point, leaving the vast sky to the eager young wizards in the field.

The enchanting song of the Songbird Witch timely echoed from the speaker flowers behind the seats of the grandstand.

This ignited the long-suppressed atmosphere on the grandstand.

”Go to Hunting Ground, go to Hunting Ground...”

Everyone roared along with the song from the speaker flowers, punching the air and venting their passionate feelings.

When the silhouette of the first hunting team appeared on the edge of the Hunting Ground, the atmosphere in the grandstand reached its climax.

”Go to Hunting Ground, go to Hunting Ground!!”

Everyone was singing together ”Go to Hunting Ground”.

On the stand, the area where the students of Jiuyou Academy sat had utterly turned into a sea of fire.

Rows upon rows of fiery red flags, numerous red banners, clusters of burning flames, and the occasional fireworks shooting up into the sky from the crowd, seemed as though in a moment, this area was completely submerged by the red colors of Jiuyou Academy. Brilliant fireworks converged in the sky above the stands, forming one copper coin after another in fiery red– the emblem of Jiuyou Academy.

At first, Zheng Qing was worried that this slightly chaotic scene would upset the school and attract the intervention of the discipline inspection team.

But when he noticed that some of the wizards wearing ’Discipline Inspection’ badges quietly took them off their chests and joined the frenzied crowd, he finally let go of his last reservations, laughing heartily, and waved the red flag along with the others around him.

”Dong Dong, Dong Dong Dong...”

On the northern stand, students of Starry Sky Academy, clad in blue robes, set up huge cowhide drums. These drums were arranged in the pattern of the six-pointed star emblem of their academy. Dozens of drummers, bared their well-built muscular upper bodies, waving blue-cloth-wrapped drumsticks, played the drums thunderously in rhythm with the singing from the speaker flowers.

Especially when the hunting team of Starry Sky Academy made its entrance, the frenzied beating of drums seemed endless, like rain beating on banana leaves, or pearls falling on a jade plate, the explosive reverberations brutally overpowering the noises from other academies in the hunting ground.

Naturally, this caused discontent among the other academies.

For example, Atlas Academy.

As a gathering place for devout believers, Atlas Academy never lacked ways to boost morale.

The beautiful and melodious sacred songs of their choir, the enlightening divine language of the Scripture Chanting Group, plus all sorts of small and big blessings, pleas to the saints, flag-raising, and prayers from students of different branches, accompanied by a variety of triangular-body accompaniment sounds, made the western stand a scene of divine and solemn sanctity, completely obliterating the rampant energy of Starry Sky Academy’s drum beats.

Only the students of Alpha Academy refused to join this carnival.

Perhaps ten years ago, when these children of wizard families first stepped into the middle school campus, they might have had inexplicable impulses and passions deep in their hearts.

But now, these adults, to a greater or lesser extent, started getting involved in family affairs. Mature and steady praises are what they need most at this stage– rather than shouting and jumping around like children on the stand of the hunting ground.

Of course, this does not mean that the students of Alpha Academy are willing to be a backing for the other three academies.

They simply do not wish to be in the spotlight and ’make a fool of themselves’.

Students from aristocratic families, who have many stewards and servants, only need to write a few reports, and their families will happily provide ample budget.

A lot of jade coins and gold beans were spent lavishly, producing countless glamorous magics in this world.

Like right now.

Alpha Academy invited the Sirens Singing Group to counter the choir of Atlas Academy, those sirens’ heavenly singing and fairy-like appearance made the glory of gods look somewhat dim; Alpha Academy also invited the Minoans to perform their war-dance on the stand, using battle-axes and their howls to challenge Starry Sky Academy’s war drums; and what’s even more outrageous, those young wizards of Alpha Academy purchased numerous large alchemy tools, creating various kinds of amazing scenes in the sky above the stand, rendering the red flags and fireworks of Jiuyou Academy inferior in comparison.

Even in displaying the academy emblem, the students of Alpha Academy behaved quite arrogantly.

”A bunch of sissies...” Zhang Ji Xin, arms folded, had a gloomy look as he stared at those restrained smiles of the students from Alpha Academy in the distance, clenching his fist until it started to creak.

Shortly after the opening ceremony began, he and Xin Fat Man came to senses amidst Professor Yao’s prayer.

Shortly after they had come to their senses, they saw Alpha Academy suppress the other three academies single-handedly, and immediately, their rage soared, wishing they could pound their fists into those hypocrites’ faces.

Zheng Qing sighed, offering no rebuttal.

In fact, he himself had several times bitten back the urge to pull out the law book, throw a few curses, and stop these inhumane and wasteful rich young men.

”Ordinary curses probably wouldn’t have much effect on those guys.” Zheng Qing looked enviously at the meteor shower streaking across the sky above the Alpha Academy stand and said dryly, ”Each of those bastards probably has more than a dozen high-level amulets on them... remember that little bastard from the Taylor Family? All of his fingers were decked with magic rings!”

”If only we had that much money...” Duan Xiao Jian muttered, sighed, lifted the flagpole in his hand, and tried to wave the flag more vigorously.

By the time the conversation ends, the team entrance ceremony was nearing its end.

All twenty official hunting teams participating in the school hunting party this year have made their appearances, standing in rows under distant flags, facing the presidium and standing quietly.

Each team only has five people, all the hunters add up to just one hundred, an inconspicuous sight among the tens of thousands in the hunting ground today.

But they stood there quietly, effortlessly capturing everyone’s attention.

Because they are the true protagonists of the school hunting party.
