High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 636: Chapter 305: Male Witch and Female Witch_1

”I believe him.”

The Gypsy witch removed her soft felt hat and little deer-skin gloves, threw them on the ground, and turned to walk out of the rune array from another direction, ”Only he can answer your question. So, I’m going out to confront him... You guys stay here and stay vigilant.”

”If he’s really like what you described...”

”Then remember to return my Tarot cards to the office of the Gypsy Witch Coven at the school.”

”If you guys can get out,” the witch added at last and then walked resolutely towards the outside of the rune array. Her tall silhouette in the eyes of the hunters in the Caron Hunting Team seemed ever more dazzling.

”I also believe him.”

Nanjian, who was originally sitting on the ground, fiddling with the Cao Herb, suddenly spoke, interrupting Matthew who was trying to stop Elena, whispered, ”...The divination result shows shocking yet safe, and the scholarship student doesn’t look like a bad person based on his appearance.”

”Appearance is never a standard way of divination.” Nankai, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but retort, ”I remember Commander’s face looks pale, while that kid from the Zhang family of Jiuyou Academy always has a red face... If you judge by appearances, wouldn’t Zhang Ji Xin always be lucky?”

”Hard to say.” Nanjian scratched the ears of Diao’er and nodded seriously.

”That’s not the point!” Nankai’s expression looked a bit crumbled. He had to patiently explain the principles of dealing with people to his cousin: ”Not only bad people do bad things in this world, some good people do bad things for a good purpose too. Don’t look at the world with clear-cut eyes... Look at it through narrowed, skeptical eyes.”

”Is that why you’ve been squinting at Captain Matthew?” Nanjian lifted her head and looked at her brother curiously.

This counter-question was quite interesting. The little white mink, which was originally lying in her arms, now propped up its round ears and stared with its bean-sized eyes at the male witch not far away.

”Who’s squinting?! I have small eyes!...Can small eyes be considered squinting?!” Nankai jumped up all at once and yelled.

”Okay, okay, let’s not argue over this.” Adam timely interrupted the argument between the two, and acted as the peacemaker, ”Elena’s action is rash, but it’s a good idea. I’ve also heard at Alpha Academy that there seems to be some unspeakable story between the scholarship students and transfer students at Jiuyou Academy... Is that true?”

The young man from the O’Brien family turned to look at Matthew Karen.

Among the people present, only he was from Jiuyou Academy.

”Rumor.” Matthew shook his head decisively. But with a change of tone, he added, ”However, they are very close in terms of learning because Zheng Qing is tutoring Elena in runes.”

”Oh.” Adam curled his lips, giving a meaningful consent sound—as an outsider, he could easily tell that Matthew was insincere.

”As long as they’re familiar with each other, that’s good.” Adam touched the brim of his soft felting hat and said softly, ”We can’t stand off like this forever. We can’t just bomb a classmate with a spell without even saying hello.”

”Having a familiar person to mediate in the middle is the best choice.”

”After all, even if something unexpected happens... He probably won’t immediately make a deadly move.”

”Pretty girls always have a little bit of privilege.”

Nankai couldn’t help but nod in agreement with Adam’s words. From the side, Nanjian gave a loud snort from her nose and then looked at her teammates with a contemptuous glance.

The gentlemen looked at each other and all closed their mouths at the same time, obediently turning their heads to look outside the rune array.

...

...

Zheng Qing felt as though his brain was lacking oxygen.

Being suspended upside down for such a long time caused the blood pumped from his heart to rush crazily to his head. At first, due to the adequate oxygen supply to his brain, Zheng Qing felt his thoughts becoming much sharper. However, as more time passed, the accumulation of blood in his head grew as well, and Zheng Qing distinctly felt the arteries at his temples throbbing wildly, giving off a faint impression that his head was about to explode.

He took a deep breath and looked desperately at the location of the grey cloth bag.

These rules of binding were extremely cunning, winding precisely around Zheng Qing’s waist, tightly tying the gray cloth bag under the vine. As for Zheng Qing’s law book, talismans, and other magical tools, they were all stuffed inside the grey cloth bag, making it difficult to use magic—even if he had some minor tricks that didn’t require the law book, their power was too insignificant to be of any use.

Being a healthy and vibrant young man, he had tried to struggle, doing sit-ups while hanging upside down in an attempt to free himself from the vines binding his body.

It was only after his hands got full of thorns and his fingers swelled as large as radishes that he was forced to give up this crude method.

”Mr. Tiger, would you please help...”

”You’re a big cat with a big belly, don’t mind the disrespectful words I said before, okay...”

”After all, I helped you clean up the battlefield...”

”Excuse me, could you get me out of these annoying vines...”

”For the sake of Merlin... who kept that cat, show some pity towards me, a young man with a cat in his heart...”

The young paid-student went on, hoping that the big cat playing with the ball a few meters away could show some kindness and free him from the binding spell.

The hunting team hiding in the shadows didn’t show up, Zheng Qing pondered for a while, he realized—If a strange wizard showed up in the Absolution Hunting Team’s hunting area with a demon, he would definitely hesitate for a moment too.

Therefore, the only possible helping paw right now would be the big cat lying under the tree.

Regrettably, even though his eyes were seeing stars and his blood vessels were throbbing, the big cat still lazily lay under the shade of the tree, tirelessly playing with the monkey demon’s head—even though the demon’s skin and flesh were firm, they couldn’t withstand such torment. Out of the corner of his eye, Zheng Qing saw that the poor monkey’s head was already cracked open, with many places revealing the white of the skull.

Could it be this black tiger is planning to play with my head as a ball after getting bored with the monkey’s head?

This thought suddenly came to Zheng’s mind, causing him to shudder involuntarily, and seeing golden stars before his eyes. However, behind these stars, a blurry figure suddenly appeared.

The figure, backlit by the sunlight, made his way through the grass, walking at a leisurely pace toward the grand wizard hanging from the Eucalyptus tree.

”Cerebral hyperemia easily causes hallucinations... I think I’m having a hallucination now.”

Zheng Qing blinked hard, attempting to get rid of the stars in front of his eyes, and murmured to himself, ”Otherwise, how could I see a familiar face...”

”Peach and tender!”

A clear spell broke the silence under the tree, a large peach blossom suddenly appeared in the middle of the vine, taking Zheng Qing’s place. At the same time, the young man who had been hanging upside down from the tree, disappeared in a blink and fell onto the grass.

Zheng Qing stumbled up, shaking his head vigorously.

”Sorry, the original trap was not intended to let the prey escape, so a ’dead knot’ was made...that’s why I had to use this escape spell to help you out.”

A familiar voice rang in Zheng Qing’s ears, accompanied by a rich fragrance that suddenly filled the young Wizard’s consciousness, making him feel that this gloomy world had suddenly become a lot brighter.

Next to him, the black tiger demon, which had been playing with the ball, suddenly pressed down on the rolling monkey head, tilting its head to look at Elena, showing a hint of confusion in its eyes.
