High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 497: Chapter 166: Fatty’s Another Suicide Attempt_1

Luckily, Su Shijun didn’t make things difficult for everyone and let the students continue to ask questions.

This benevolent act successfully liberated Xin Fat Man from the shadow of the death threat.

However, the fat man didn’t seem to realize this and, although he sat sheepishly in his own seat, his expression still appeared eager, as if he was planning to do something at any moment.

Obviously, Su Ya wouldn’t call on him for a second question.

”So, who should I choose this time...” the little fox lady bit her finger again, her eyebrows crumpled into a small bundle. In her eyes, everyone in the classroom was more or less the same choice, as long as it wasn’t that red-eyed jerk sitting in the second row.

Speaking of ’more or less’, Su Ya’s gaze involuntarily shifted to the little witch sitting in the first row.

She was a college student of about the same age as her.

Just as she had entered the classroom, that little witch had been at odds with her.

”Miss always says to win people over with kindness, with kindness... so it wouldn’t be wrong for me to repay ingratitude with kindness, right?” Thinking this, the little fox lady raised her arm and drew a circle in the air, pointing at the little witch’s nose across from her.

”For the second question, you ask it!” Su Ya said with a flamboyant air.

Li Meng blinked, jumped up from her seat and yelped, ”Oh my, I love you, little fox!! Don’t leave after class, I’ll treat you to a feast at Pedestrian Street...we’ll eat wherever you point!! My treat!!”

Saying that, the little witch slapped her chest forcefully, emphasising, ”I’m paying!”

Hearing this, Su Ya’s eyes instantly curved into a crescent shaped smile.

Even the tip of her tail curled up in delight.

”Miss is indeed correct; one should always try to win people over with kindness!” the little fox lady giggled, laughing heartily with Li Meng.

It wasn’t until Old Yao, standing by the window, couldn’t bear to watch anymore and coughed forcefully twice that Li Meng reacted, suppressing her excitement and feverishly flipping open her notebook.

”...I’ve got so many questions... which one should I choose... this is so difficult...” the little witch muttered to herself, flipping noisily through her notebook.

”Ah, I really want to know the idol’s three sizes! And what kind of cosmetics she loves... the restaurants she often visits... her favourite dish... the shop where she gets her clothes custom-made... her favourite novel... her favourite hunting team... the hunter she admires most... Ah, so many questions, what should I do!”

In the end, Li Meng simply gave up struggling, looking at Jiang Yu next to her with pleading eyes.

As her cousin, Jiang Yu was practically Li Meng’s guardian while at school - the little witch got used to seeking her cousin’s help first whenever she encountered any difficulty.

Jiang Yu didn’t disappoint her.

The monitor of Astronomy Class 08-1 calmly pulled out a note paper from her Kun Bag, opened it and handed it to the little witch.

Li Meng grabbed the note paper, taking a closer look, she immediately clenched her small fist and waved it emphatically in the air.

”Idol, my question is ready!” the little witch yelled, her face full of excitement.

Su Shijun’s face held no impatience, she simply nodded with a smile.

”Idol! I’d like to ask, what kind of cosmetics do you usually use... No no no, I mean, do you have any secrets to maintaining your beauty?!” Li Meng, clutching that note paper, asked a question that all witches would care about.

This time, even Liu Fei Fei, who usually focused on textbooks and studying, pricked up her ears carefully.

Zheng Qing noticed the rare sight of Jiang Yu in the front row applauding her little cousin.

Such a scene was quite rare— and in the impression of a young scholarship student, it seemed like the first time he had seen Jiang Yu expressing appreciation for Li Meng’s words, practically enough to make someone raise an eyebrow.

Regarding this question, Su Shijun didn’t think much about it.

Or rather, she had probably prepared for such a question long ago; with only a brief pause, she started to share:

”Time is the best magic potion to maintain beauty.”

”Proper exercise is the best way to maintain beauty.”

”Of course, we know that the most precious thing in this world is time; and those exercises can be somewhat strenuous and boring... In the absence of time, having good lifestyle habits is another trick.”

”Such as eating less spicy and greasy food, exercising more, not staying up late, eating two apples a day, always maintaining a happy mood, never bottling up your feelings...”

Su Shijun was casually discussing health guidelines that everyone already knew, and the disappointed looks on the faces of the girls in the audience grew more significant than before.

They could read about these methods in the health section of the ”Beta Town Post” every week, those methods were nothing new.

That’s not what everyone wanted to hear.

”Of course, besides these standard answers, there are secret tips.”

At this point, Su Shijun paused, affecting her tone.

The witches in the hall below perked their ears, holding their breath, staring intensely. Even the boys dared not breathe loudly, afraid that any mishap would affect Su Daxu’s answer and lead to a barrage of spells from the girls.

”The secret is... to become an excellent wizard.”

Su Shijun then introduced a solution that was unexpected yet made complete sense:

”... If you are an ordinary wizard, you can prepare some standard magic potions to remove wrinkles, whiten skin, and remove spots. —— As long as you don’t have a habit of bathing in sulfuric acid or a hobby of sunbathing in the desert, then in most cases, you can maintain your elegance with ease.”

”If you are a registered wizard, even if you do nothing, you can ensure a youthful appearance for over three hundred years —— In this world, what could be more beautiful than staying young?”

”As for becoming a grand wizard, you’ll get one chance for a complete makeover... Male wizards might waste this chance on stronger bones or more robust muscles. What about female wizards? I guess I don’t need to spell out your choices.”

”When you became a grand wizard, did you adjust your looks?” Xin Fat Man didn’t miss a beat and threw out another question.

”No, I have strong confidence in my natural looks.” Su Shijun spoke while her eyes were gleaming, which immediately mesmerized the male wizards.

However, her next sentence stunned Xin Fat Man.

”Alright, there have been three questions already... there are two chances left. Hopefully, you will consider carefully before asking your next question!”, said Su Daxu, smiling.

The crowd was silent.

The first question was about Su Shijun’s age, asked by Xin Fat Man.

The second question was about maintaining beauty, asked by Li Meng.

What about the third question?

It seemed that Xin Fat Man may have just asked another question?

Zheng Qing had just counted this on his fingers. Suddenly, he felt a cold wind behind his neck, making him shudder.

Even though he was only sitting next to Xin Fat Man, Zheng Qing could still feel the deep malice surging around him. He thought he heard some people murmuring curses against this damned fat man.

The young scholar apologetically glanced at the fat man, decisively moved over and distanced himself from the troublemaker.

Doctor Xiao had moved his seat even earlier.

”Oh, no...”

Xin Fat Man just opened his mouth when he was silenced by a yellowish talisman paper that flew from somewhere.

Then, seven or eight differently colored talisman papers flew from all directions, slapping onto the fat man, binding him tightly —— Zheng Qing believed that if it wasn’t in a classroom, people would be throwing curses instead of floating suppression symbols.

”Shut up, you fat bastard!”

Li Meng glared at Xin and shook her fist threateningly, ”If you dare say another word, I will throw you into the Lin Zhong Lake to feed the Fishman!”

The little witch was quite aggressive.

But this time, she was not reprimanded by her older cousin.

On the contrary, Jiang Yu even handed her another suppression symbol, intending to bind the fat man even tighter.

Zhang Ji Xin, who was a die-hard troublemaker, snapped his fingers loudly in the fat man’s ear, cheering for the little witch.

Old Yao stood by the window, smiling and watching everything, showing no intention of intervening.

The fat man finally learned his lesson, quietly retreating under his desk to show his repentance.
