High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 523: Chapter 192: Poseidon’s Physical Examination_1

Perhaps it was because Su Shijun had cast some magic that diverted attention around her body; or maybe it was just because of the oversized glasses she wore on her face.

All the way, unless Su Shijun proactively greeted the other researchers, it seemed that everyone was ignoring the two of them.

Thus, when the beautiful Su leaned in close to a scholarship student in an extremely ambiguous manner and spoke to him, no one in the entire lab reacted strangely except for Zheng Qing himself.

”I... I thought the school wouldn’t let the Under the Moon council access these kinds of experiments.”

Facing this heart-pounding atmosphere, the scholarship student stammered as if speaking was the only way to concentrate his attention: ”I... I mean, I recall the Wizard Alliance’s restrictions on dimensional experiments being very stringent.”

What he said was a well-known fact.

Even a fledgling wizard like him, who has been in the wizarding world for less than two months, is aware of the Wizard Alliance’s harsh stance on dimensional experiments.

Zheng Qing still clearly remembers, more than two months ago, when he first met his interviewer, that he saw a report about the Dark Blue Castle conducting dimensional oscillation experiments and was eventually punished by the Wizard Alliance in the newspaper in Thomas’s hand.

Even though a long time had passed since then, consequential punitive information about the Dark Blue Castle still occasionally appeared in the newspaper — especially over a month ago, when the Trident Sword had conducted several surprise searches on other castles of the Ghost Clan. This was enough proof of the Wizard Alliance’s harsh attitude towards related experiments, especially when they were associated with the Under the Moon Council.

”They just limit us from participating in dimensional oscillation experiments...or rather, they just don’t want the Under the Moon council to master Forbidden Curses.” Su Shijun curled her lips and revealed a sarcastic smile, ”As for fundamental research related to dimensional theory, like this laboratory, the Wizard Alliance always welcomes us ’oddball Grand Sorcerers’ to devote all our energy to it...”

”You are not an oddball.” Zheng Qing couldn’t help but retort.

Immediately after, he blushed and said sorry.

”Thank you.” Su Shijun stroked Poseidon’s head, tilted her head and looked at the male wizard.

In the bright laboratory, her eyes were shining brightly.

This slightly awkward atmosphere didn’t last very long.

Because the two finally reached the end of the laboratory.

Unlike the previous open layout, hexagonal stone platform, and milky white light sphere, the end of the lab was partitioned into a slightly narrow office by several large bookcases.

There were still no windows here, only vines spinning around the top of the bookcases. Through their luminescent fruits, the small office was provided with sufficient light.

”The room is a bit small...I don’t like environments that are too open.” After entering the office, Su Shijun seemed more relaxed.

She even casually took off her glasses, revealing a breathtaking face.

”You can find a chair and sit down yourself.” The witch instructed while also pulling a vine hanging from the ceiling.

The door of a bookcase next to her suddenly opened and a complicated and exquisite alchemy instrument rose from inside. Whether it was the dazzling runes on the instrument or the tightly fitted brass gears, or even the large glass cupboard in the center of the instrument, they all seemed to be proclaiming to the scholarship student its extraordinary nature.

”R...right.” Zheng Qing stammered, sat carefully at the edge of a chair near the door.

Though it was not his first time seeing Su Shijun’s true face, it still gave him a thrilling feeling.

This also made him feel more puzzled about Su Shijun’s reason for seeking him out while he felt inferior about himself.

If it was solely because of Poseidon, she could completely bypass him and communicate with the school through those proud maidservants to achieve the same goal.

”First, let’s check the little guy... There’s a fruit plate on the table, help yourself.” The beautiful Su rolled up her sleeves, revealing a smooth, white arm, which dazzled the wizard.

”Sure, sure.” He lowered his head, picked a St. Fruit from the fruit plate and mumbled his agreement. He chose to ignore Poseidon’s jumping around behind the desk.

The little fox wasn’t able to avoid the Grand Sorcerer Su’s touch. It was locked in the glass cabinet amid squawking.

As soon as the glass cabinet was sealed, Zheng seemed to finally react.

He stood up anxiously and hesitated, then spoke softly, ”Poseidon... it won’t be hurt, right?”

”Are you just realising that now?” Su Shijun lifted her head, brushed her long hair back, and glanced at him, saying mockingly, ”If I really wanted to do something to it, what could you do?”

Zheng Qing laughed dryly and promptly sat back down.

”Don’t worry, it’s just a checkup... I wonder how this little guy’s physical condition has been recently.” Su Shijun explained, bent down again and started to manipulate the complex instrument at a fast pace.

As the colorful runes lit up one after another, the magic arrays fitted on the instrument were consecutively activated. A dense white mist rose in the glass cabinet, completely engulfing the little fox.

”Knock knock knock.”

A brief knock sounded outside the office.

”Come in.” Su Shijun rolled down her sleeves, fixed her appearance, and quickly presented herself as a well-mannered, dignified noblewoman.

”Dir...Director Su, hello.” The one who entered was a short researcher wearing a black robe with a badge of the dimensional lab on his chest.

He seemed extremely excited to closely observe the goddess of the male wizards in the wizard world, his face flushed red and his speech somewhat stammered, it took him a long time to state the purpose of his visit.

Su Shijun sighed lightly and picked up the oversized glasses from the desk again.

”Start again.” She ordered briefly, sounding somewhat unhappy.

”Yes!” The male wizard finally returned to normal, his face still red — this time it was due to embarrassment.

”Director Su, this is the report on the completion of the last two-dimensional world mission.” The researcher lowered his head, looking uneasy, but quickly summarised: ”The overall mission completion status is excellent. Some reincarnator squads have received S-rank or above evaluation... Also, concerning the next world, although a related task in the Marvel-295 Universe was originally scheduled, due to the Apocalypse being killed by the Middle Continent team in the previous test, it caused serious disruptions in the timeline of the entire 295 Universe... ”

”Didn’t the lab make corrections?”

”The lab is working hard to correct it.” The researcher lowered his head and spoke softly. ”It’s just that the last battle of the Middle Continent team broke through the dimensional wall and affected several other parallel universes, causing several timelines and world lines to get entangled, creating chaos in some of the data, so the difficulty in correcting is slightly higher...”

Su Shijun silently flipped through the documentation at hand, finally lifting her head and laughed gently, comforting: ”Don’t worry, isn’t this exactly what we wanted to see?”
