High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 498: Chapter 167 A Failed Questioning_1

Once the fatty finally calmed down, the meeting was able to continue.

For Su Ya, the one relief was that the coming two questions numbered four and five did not require her to rack her brains and choose any more.

This was because that smoky old man had made the final choice for her.

”Let the class presidents ask the last two questions,” Old Yao, biting on his pipe, leaning his arms by the window, cheerfully said to Su Daxu: ”I heard they organized several meetings in their class in preparation for today’s occasion... We should give those who are prepared a chance.”

Disappointed sighs filled the room, with many reluctantly lowering their arms, yet not daring to argue loudly. After all, the one speaking was not only a professor of magic, but also the headmaster of Jiuyou Academy, and a great wizard who had managed to invite Su Shijun.

If he hadn’t made any suggestions, they could have argued. But when he did suggest something, everyone had no choice but to oblige.

Su Shijun had no objections and slightly nodded in agreement.

Su Ya heaved a sigh of relief, but also felt a hint of loss.

”So, who is going to ask the fourth question?” The little fox lady perked up, continuing to be the spokeswoman for Su Daxu.

Tang Dun glanced at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu waved her hand, quickly leafing through her notes, indicating for him to ask first.

Tang Dun did not decline any further and stood up abruptly.

He was quite big and also sitting by the window, so when he stood up, he immediately blocked a large amount of sunlight, leaving a strong shadow in the classroom.

However, compared to his size, Class President Tang showed some signs of restraint.

”Councilor Su, hello, I am Class President Tang Dun of Astronomy Class 08-1.” Tang Dun opened his notebook, seriously introduced himself, his tone becoming slowly fluent: ”Knowing that you would be coming to guide us, all the students from Astronomy Class 08-1 feel very proud and excited...”

Listening to Tang Dun’s endless rambling, the corner of Zheng Qing’s mouth twitched a little. He didn’t know how the others in class felt, but for the young student like him, Tang Dun’s wordings made him profoundly uncomfortable.

Compared to him, Li Meng’s reaction was more straightforward.

The little witch turned her head, retched silently at the corner of the desk, then made a silly face at Zheng Qing.

Suppressing his urge to laugh, Zheng Qing continued to listen to Tang Dun’s nonsense.

”After many discussions and extensive surveys, I have gathered a series of questions from the students of First University that they most wish to ask you...”

Zheng Qing raised an eyebrow and snorted.

A few weeks ago, Tang Dun had indeed distributed several surveys during Sunday’s class meeting, which included silly questions like ’What question do you most want to ask Su Shijun?’ ’What do you most want to say to Su Shijun?’ and ’If you have a chance to go on a trip with Su Shijun, where would you go?’

At that time, the academy had just been rid of the shadow of the sandworms, the young scholar Zheng Qing had been struggling with a series of messy things like headaches, the school hunting party, turning into a cat, so he just went along with these non-compulsory surveys.

For example, for the question ’What do you most want to ask Su Shijun?’, Zheng Qing wrote ’I’d like to ask Councilor Su what name he gave his child’; and for ’Where would you plan to go if you have a chance to travel with Su Shijun?’, Zheng Qing directly wrote ’The deepest part of the Silent Forest’.

He highly doubted the credibility of such a survey.

Of course, he didn’t plan to stand up now and contest this issue with Tang Dun face to face.

After nearly five minutes of non-stop talking, Tang Dun finally threw out his question: ”...Among these questions, the one everyone is most concerned about is— who is your other half, Councilor Su?”

Although the question was asked quite tactfully.

Everyone knew what it really meant.

Indeed, it was a topic many people were very concerned about—since Su Shijun had openly declared that he had a child in front of reporters, during the following two months, a number of newspapers, including the ”Beta Town Post,” analyzed and reported on this issue daily.

The issue discussed the most was ’Who is the father of the child?’

Some experts suggested that the child’s father was either Milton or William because they were both prominent members of the Under the Moon conference, and a marriage between them would indeed be likely.

Some scholars opined that the father of the child was a young academician from the First University who was engrossed in magic research, given Su Shijun’s time studying at the First University, it was understandable that he would have contact in that field.

There were even some bold ’insiders’ claiming that Su Shijun’s lover was just an ordinary civilian who had already turned into a meatloaf due to the wrath of the Su family’s elders.

If it were not for the fact that this topic involved at least one great wizard, those experts who seemed very confident might have expanded their discussion to include ’demons’, ’aliens’, and other weird races.

Now, Tang Dun had thrown out this question right here in the class.

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Even Professor Yao at the window removed the pipe from his mouth, revealing a serious expression.

Su Shijun seemed not at all surprised to be asked this question.

However, she seemed to find Tang Dun’s choice of words interesting.

”Hmm... Quite an interesting way to put it.” Su Daxu blinked, her mouth curling into a slight smile, giving an answer that no one had expected: ”My other half is... magic.”

”Ga?!” Dang Dun was immediately stunned on the spot.

The rest of the class was also dumbfounded.

Even Old Yao could not help but cough violently a few times.

If he wasn’t trying to be polite and to avoid agitating Tang Dun to the point of jumping out the window, Zheng Qing would have probably burst out laughing by now.

”...It is truly... an interesting answer.” Tang Dun smiled awkwardly, his face pained, and went back to his seat.

A wave of complaints from the students quietly filled the room.

”What a waste of time!” Not able to stand it anymore, Li Meng exploded up from her seat, swearing at Class President Tang Dun: ”Couldn’t you just ask directly? This isn’t the president’s platform of the school hunting party, no one asked you to be the commentator. Why are you so twisted and pretentious?”

Jiang Yu immediately grabbed her cousin’s sleeve, admonishing her in an insincere tone.

Tang Dun just sat back on his seat with a red face, not making any excuse.
