High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 494: Chapter 163 Between Great Wizards_1

On the podium, the professor and Su Shijun were discussing an issue.

However, even sitting in the second row of the classroom, Zheng Qing could only see their lips moving slightly, but couldn’t hear a word.

As if noticing the professor’s diverted attention, the young wizards of Astronomy Class 08-1 soon ignored Old Yao’s warning a few minutes ago. They all began whispering excitedly to each other, exchanging information.

Potions, talismans, focus badges, magic hats and more, all kinds of magical tools were enthusiastically passed from hand to hand among the students, fully embodying the concept of unity.

However, the two bigwigs on the podium were serious, completely unconcerned about the order in the classroom once again becoming chaotic.

For Old Yao, the order of the classroom could be managed at any time, but the opinions of a council member of the Under the Moon Council were not always available.

”With so many talents in the top school, haven’t a few old folks come to give you advice? You are looking for me, a newly appointed council member...” Su Daxu narrowed her eyes, clearly displeased, ”I must declare in advance, I only offer reference opinions. I’m not responsible if something goes wrong!”

”No need, no need, just take a look... It’s not a big deal, I just have a bit of a bad feeling. You just happen to be at the school.” Old Yao rubbed his hands, laughing dryly, ”Besides, the school has been quite busy recently, we’re a bit understaffed.”

Su Shijun glanced at him without continuing to press the issue.

”Plus, the kids really hope to be able to interact with you.” Old Yao added at last.

”With me, or with Su Shijun?”

”Isn’t it all the same?”

”Hmm.” Su Shijun snorted lightly, raising her chin slightly. ”Su Shijun is me, but I am not Su Shijun.”

”Oh... Well, the kids still hope to meet Su Shijun.” Old Yao responded honestly.

”Tsk.” Su Daxu seemed rather deflated and grumbled, ”According to what I’ve just checked, everything is normal... There’s no trace of those rebels.”

”...So you mean, there’s nothing unusual?” Old Yao, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a pipe, frowned deeply.

”As the president of Jiuyou Academy, don’t you know your students’ backgrounds?” Instead of directly answering the professor’s question, Su Shijun counter-questioned, ”This is the foremost school, it has the most number of great wizards in the wizarding world... What are you worried about?”

Old Yao gave a bitter smile, put the pipe into his mouth, and muttered, ”Just worried about this... and that.”

After a pause, he added, ”As you know... the school’s roster is in the principal’s office, we don’t have the authority to check it casually. So it’s inevitable that some students might have unclear backgrounds... Of course, we do know the backgrounds of most students.”

Su Shijun silently looked at the professor.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

”So... that rumor is true?” The member of the Under the Moon Council confirmed in a certain tone, ”the principal really isn’t at the school.”

This was a question that couldn’t be answered.

Old Yao was silent for a few seconds, chewing on his pipe, then continued the previous topic, ”So, did you notice anything?”

”Tsk,” Su Shijun replied, crossing her arms and looking sideways at the noisy classroom, ”I didn’t notice anything... The girl from the Jiang family and the young man from the Tang family are quite good. The little vampire from Karen’s family isn’t as good as his cousin, but he’s still quite good in this classroom.”

”The child from the Zhang family is much worse than his brother...I guess he hasn’t fully mastered his power yet.”

”Your top student this year, from what I can see, works very hard all the time and has lost a lot of vitality... If I were you, I’d think of a way to replenish her.”

”Also, that special admission student, I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere...”

”You know I’m not asking about this.” Old Yao took his pipe from his mouth, discontentedly grumbling as he filled it with tobacco.

Su Shijun sighed slightly.

”She really is a bit different.” The Under the Moon Council member’s expression was a bit strange, ”Just now in this classroom, only three people were unaffected by these glasses.”

As she spoke, Su Shijun pointed to the glasses on her face, adding:

”The little girl from the Jiang family, your scholarship student who received the Merlin Medal, and the Gypsy girl in the back.”

”You’re not wrong in your judgement that the Gypsy girl has a very strong Under the Moon magic power flowing in her... However, there’s no brand of our Under the Moon Council in her magic power.”

”She isn’t part of the Under the Moon Council.”

”Isn’t she?” Old Yao’s eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

”I confirm it in my capacity as an upper council member of the Under the Moon Council.” Su Shijun unusually gave a serious reply, ”Definitely not.”

”If she isn’t from the Under the Moon Council... then who does she represent?”

”Naturally, she represents the Gypsy witches.” Su Shijun shook her head slightly, sounding rather dismissive, ”You old men think too much, always assuming others want to harm you... This is a sickness, it needs treatment!”

Raising his pipe, Old Yao deeply inhaled the fragrant scent of the tobacco. After satisfying his craving, he looked up and sighed, ”Seeing one leaf fall, you know that autumn is near. Seeing the beginning, you can predict the end. Seeing the evil spirits, you know that all the ghosts wander at night.”

”Speak human!”

”Coming from The Gypsy Witch Coven doesn’t necessarily mean she’s one of them.” Old Yao held his pipe, pointed at the people below, ”In their position, they plan accordingly...They can be carefree, but we always have to think more.”

After speaking, he couldn’t help but ask again, ”Are you sure she isn’t from the Under the Moon Council?”

”Tsk,” Su Shijun glanced at the professor with a look of disgust, snorting, ”Your top school has slaughtered so many Moon Gods in the new world, who knows if some great beings, not content with falling, reincarnated to cause trouble... Why are you always focusing on our obedient children from the Under the Moon Council!”

Old Yao gave a dry laugh, not arguing.

”So... what do you think of our recipient of the Merlin Medal?”

”Absolutely ordinary.” Su Shijun seemed reluctant to continue discussing these issues, her tone somewhat impatient.

”Oh, really?” Old Yao scratched his chin, seemingly casually mentioning, ”...I seem to have heard from Thomas that a few months ago, he did you a small favor....”

”He really is your obedient student, telling you everything.” Su Shijun’s attitude was extremely negative.

”So...” Old Yao blinked.

”No comment.” The young council member bluntly interrupted the professor’s probing, turning around and swiftly removing her glasses.

Following a sharp intake of breath, the previously chaotic classroom suddenly quieted down.
