High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 475: Chapter 144 The First Meeting of Judgment and Absolution_1

Ever since the gypsy witches and Jiang Da Headmaster rejected Zheng Qing’s invitation, the young scholarship student could no longer find a more suitable candidate for the Hunting Team Manager.

Fortunately, no one rushed him on this matter, so he buried his head in the sand, pretending to forget it.

Now that Xiao Xiao brought up the old problem, Zheng Qing suddenly felt a little nervous.

He knew he was not a qualified team leader, nor did he expect to lead this hunting team to any glory. But no matter what, everyone had entrusted their trust to him. Therefore, whenever he faced the doctor’s inquiry, he always felt ashamed.

It felt like doing something wrong and getting caught.

”...I was planning to discuss this matter with Lin Guo today.” The young scholarship student turned his head to look at the distant hunting ground, pretending to observe the hunting team’s training. His face blushed slightly and he spoke in an awkward tone. He said, ”...Comparatively speaking, Li Meng is not steady enough...In every aspect , Lin Guo surpasses her...”.

Xiao Xiao glanced at the young scholarship student with a profound expression, no longer posing any questions.

However, Zheng Qing’s reply implicated another issue.

”By the way, why didn’t Blue Bird come to training today? He’s one of the hunters, right?” Xin Fat Man, who had pulled out another packet of melon seeds somehow, began cracking them and asked, ”And Lin Guo did not come...Although he’s not a regular hunter on the team, he is part of our backup force and he should’ve attended today.”

Realizing that the topic had shifted, Zheng Qing heaved a sigh of relief.

He quickly responded: ”Blue Bird had an internal ring match at the Starry Sky Academy today, so he couldn’t attend the training—it had been explained before he joined the hunting team. As for Lin Guo, he told me last night during patrol that today he’ll be assisting Professor Tesla with some magic experiment related to a Crash Course Alchemy Array...”

Listening to this, Xin Fat Man became immediately silent.

Being chosen by the professor to participate in an experiment is definitely more important than the hunting competition at school. And it’s also understandable for Blue Bird to pay attention to the unlimited combat competition inside the Starry Sky Academy, a tradition with a long history.

”What about you? Why didn’t you participate in the ring match today?” The plump man spat out melon seeds while his gaze settled on Dylan.

The vampire disdainfully glanced at him: ”My match has already ended some days ago...Do you think we have to do a ring match every weekend?”

A breeze passed by, and all the young wizards on the hill fell silent instantly.

A tall and thin male wizard appeared before them, squinting his eyes and scrutinizing everyone.

It was Deng Xiaojian from The Judgement Hunting Team.

”Good to see you, Senior.” As the team leader, Zheng Qing took a step forward to greet him.

”Is this your hunting team?” Deng Xiaojian looked around, frowned slightly and asked, ”Why are there only four of you?”

On the hill, there were indeed only four figures—Zheng Qing, Xin Fat Man, Dylan, and Xiao Xiao.

”There is one more person, he just went down to watch your training.” Zheng Qing hurriedly explained, ”He wanted to get a closer look and see clearer...Have you finished your training yet? Looking at the vigor of that big demon chasing you, I thought it would take another hour or so...”

While he was talking, he’d already pulled out a paper crane from his pocket and tossed it down the hill.

”That’s merely a magically disguised prey, it’s not real...Its main purpose is to help us master some new formations. If you encounter such a powerful demon in the hunting ground that can’t be defeated, never directly flee in panic, it’s a big taboo for hunting!”

Zheng Qing kept nodding his head. At some point, he’d already taken out a small notebook and started taking down every word Deng Xiaojian was saying.

This obviously pleased the tall and thin male wizard.

His usually unyielding expression softened notably.

”Although Old Yao has opened up to allow you to train with Judgement, judging by your basics, you certainly can’t adapt to the high-intensity training mode of the formal hunting team...”

Before he finished speaking, another alien voice rang up from the side.

”But since Old Yao has opened up, we naturally can’t be perfunctory...Deng Zi, you instigated this matter, so you need to help them create a crash course of hunting team training.”

The speaker was a black-haired, yellow-faced wizard. Although he was not very tall, his small eyes had an imposing look that was intimidating.

Hearing that, Deng Xiaojian showed a bitter smile.

Zheng Qing recognized the speaker. It was the leader of the Judgement Hunting Team, the half-blood werewolf, Erwin Hoffman, the wizard who holds the title of the strongest hunters in the first university.

”I’m thrilled to receive your training.” Zheng Qing stared excitedly at Hoffman, hesitating whether to seize the opportunity to ask for some autographs.

It’s said that this strongest hunter of the first university has already got his ticket to the ’World Cup’. Many historic famous teams have already extended their olive branch to him.

Without any accident, in the near future, he would undoubtedly become a rising star in the wizarding world.

Now would be a no-loss deal to ask for some autographs.

”Now that everyone is here, let’s first get to know each other...Then, Deng Zi will outline a simple training plan for you.” Hoffman clapped his hands with ease.

Zheng Qing was pulled back to reality and found two more people on the field.

One was his hunting team’s Red Face wizard. Elder Zhang Da was holding his leg, bending over and panting heavily. Apparently, the run back here had exhausted him.

The other wizard was no stranger—Zheng Qing had seen him in the Hunting Team Management Office of the school work committee. It was Qi Qinglan, an auxiliary hunter of the Judgement Hunting Team.

”Are there only three of you?” The words were barely out of Zheng Qing’s mouth when he started to regret it.

However, the judgement hunters around didn’t seem to mind.

”There’s just to do some basic training, three people are enough...” Deng Xiaojian dismissively waved his hand and laughed, ”Actually, I believe that one person is enough for this job. But just because you requested expedited training, I asked for assistance from the team leader and Lan Zi.”

Zheng Qing refocused, immediately stepped aside, pointed at his team members and started the introduction.

”This Red Face wizard is our main hunter, named Zhang Ji Xin; he has a strong punch. It’s said that one punch of his can kill a cow.”

This introduction immediately aroused laughter from everyone, easing the atmosphere a lot.

Zhang Ji Xin sat on the ground cross-legged, massaging his sore legs, and said with a bitter smile, ”What kind of a team leader are you...”

”Zhang Ji Xin, Zhang Ji Xin...” Hoffman muttered, then suddenly looked up with gleaming eyes, ”Is Uncle Zhang Zhi of the ’Holy Will’ related to you?”

”He is my fourth brother.” Zhang Ji Xin stood up and honestly replied.

”I knew it. From the start, I thought you looked familiar.” A smile appeared on Hoffman’s face: ”We are all from the ’Holy Will’, so we are colleagues...Although there is some competition, it’s unrelated to you, so you don’t need to be so restrained.”
