High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 552: Chapter 221: End of the 8th Week_1

The roar echoing over Hunting Ground One did not last long.

Perhaps in consideration of the reputation of the First University, or perhaps out of sheer disappointment, or perhaps due to the gravity of the situation demanding caution, Professor Yao did not publicly announce the punishment for the students from the two involved academies. Zheng Qing thought that the professor’s decision was very wise, as decisions made in the heat of anger are often irrational. After venting his anger, the professor simply expelled all the students from the venue quite simply.

After registering their names, law book numbers, affiliations, and class with the disciplinary committee’s ’military police,’ the young hunters of the Absolution hunting team nervously left the hunting ground with the crowd.

As if to care for everyone’s mood, the sky was filled with heavy clouds, and slight winds passed through the woods, chilling the pedestrians and adding a touch of coldness out of the blue.

Although it was still early, everyone’s mood to play around was gone, so they simply went straight to the dormitory.

Along the way, Zheng Qing could see that almost everyone was walking in groups, whispering, with murmurs of discussion. When they saw strangers, they would all examine each other cautiously with vigilant eyes.

This was the case even within Jiuyou Academy, not to mention the external students.

Because they were not involved in the fight, you could still see scattered students from Starry Sky Academy and Atlas Academy around the school. As for the white robes of Alpha Academy, they had completely disappeared.

For safety reasons, when leaving the hunting ground, Blue Bird had already escorted Lin Guo back to Alpha Castle, while Dylan had to walk together with Zheng Qing and others because they shared a dormitory.

This made him seem a little out of place.

After this incident, most of the students seemed to walk only with those from their own academy.

”Maybe I should change into a white robe for a little more excitement when walking.” Dylan licked his lips, his eyes showing a hint of anticipation.

Among the group, only he seemed not to have had enough of the incident that had just happened.

For the students of Starry Sky Academy, battle is the best practice, so it is perfect to be able to train a little while walking.

”You should keep a low profile.” Zheng Qing couldn’t help advising: ”Didn’t you see that the other blue gowns are much quieter now? The professors are furious right now. If you run into their curses at this time, you will definitely die miserably.”

The werewolf student nodded regretfully.

”I am very curious about what would happen if someone from Alpha Academy was assigned to a mixed dormitory in the college.” Xin Fat Man muttered quietly on the side, maliciously speculating about the fate of those poor children.

”Very few, almost none.” Zhang Ji Xin shook his head , denying it: ”Alpha Academy has a lounge system, those lounges are connected to a large number of independent bedrooms... Often people of the same circle choose bedrooms in the same lounge. Which is completely different from our kind of compact multi-person dormitory in the college.”

”If they didn’t choose to live in the lounge, they probably have their own independent yard on Gamma Street.” Dylan added: ”As far as I know, both O’Brien and Tabbot have their own yards.”

Gamma Street is a long ring road between the inner and outer courtyards of Alpha Castle, located at the foot of the inner court city wall, consisting of rows of grey-green mansions.

Zheng Qing had been to that street when he met Augustus.

Perhaps compared to Beta Town, Gamma Street seemed a little quieter, but this could better match the serious and solemn atmosphere of those mansions.

”Sounds really nice.” Zheng Qing sighed enviously, staring at a red paper crane fluttering its wings and falling from the sky: ”In comparison, it seems like we are the poor of the wizarding world, while they are the nobles of the wizarding world.”

In the midst of their conversation, the red paper crane landed on Xiao Xiao’s glasses frame, starting to peck viciously at his hair.

”Not just seems... it was originally like that.” Xiao Xiao snorted at the commoners’ comments, at the same time gripping the wing tip of the paper crane, shaking it a bit, unfolding it, and squinting his eyes to read it under the pale blue daylight.

”Whose message is it?” Zheng Qing glanced at him curiously.

”Could it be Mr. Sima’s?” Xin Fat Man’s gossip started to flare up: ”Didn’t Mr. Sima take him through the express aisle at the opening ceremony ... maybe after that incident just happened, Mr. Sima felt the need to care about our doctoral student...”

”It’s a message from Tang Dun.” Xiao Xiao kept a straight face, denying Xin Fat Man’s speculation.

”When did you get involved with Tang Dun, the big monitor?!” Xin Fat Man jumped in horror, covering his own buttocks: ”I warn you, it’s okay to be friends but deeper involvements absolutely no way! I am strictly interested in the opposite sex!”

His comic performance immediately brought about a low laughter from the others.

Zheng Qing suddenly felt as if the gloomy weather overhead also became entertaining.

”What the hell are you talking about!” Xiao Xiao was irritated and pulled out his thick black notebook, like he wanted to whack Xin Fat Man on the head: ”Tang Dun is just informing us that the night’s class meeting is cancelled... The professors are holding an emergency meeting to discuss what happened on the hunting ground this afternoon. They are also preparing to respond to the explosive public opinion in the wizarding world tomorrow.”

The young public expense student sighed.

Indeed, when you have a stone pressing on your stomach, you can’t feel good.

The jovial mood that had just lightened because of Xin Fat Man’s antics was overwhelmed by the heavy pressure in an instant, and didn’t seem to be getting any better in the near future.

The others seemed to share his sentiment, and the mood within the group became suppressed once more.

In this way, everyone walked forward in silence until they rounded Lin Zhong Lake and came to the bottom of Book Mountain Library.

Zheng Qing hesitated, stopping in his tracks.

”I’m going to borrow a copy of ’First University Yearbook.’ Could you guys wait a few minutes?” The young public expense student remembered the book that Xiao Xiao had recommended not long ago and felt he had to study how the First University historically handled ’gang fights.’

”I’ll go too.” Xiao Xiao put on a straight face, and put away his notebook, ”There might be notes from other seniors in the library... It’s very crucial to consider problems from different angles.”

”Sounds like you guys won’t be out for a while.” Dylan stretched his arms and yawned lazily, ”It’s still light out, maybe I should go back for a beauty nap... I won’t wait for you guys.”

”I won’t wait either.” Xin Fat Man looked guilty at Xiao Xiao, fearing he might suddenly attack him: ”I haven’t changed the water for Tuan Tuan yet today, I don’t want to come back and find cat hair in my drinking cup.”

”Then I’ll go ask my brother for some advice on hunting team tactics.” Zhang Ji Xin clenched his fist, as if trying to encourage himself and others: ”Anything is possible until the outcome is decided... We can’t commit suicide in advance just because we worry a meteor might fall on us tomorrow... We must live our lives well.”
