High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 700: Chapter 48 Jiang Xiaomao_1

The mention of the vile accident that took place by the lake, subdued the conversations of the wizards sitting on the bench. The night wind swept across the lake, bringing a slight chill, further lowering the temperature in the surrounding atmosphere.

After a long silence, the chubby wizard seemed to finally find a new topic, he struggled to stand up, pointed at the artificial rock not far away, and exclaimed in surprise, ”Hey, you see! There’s a little thing on the artificial rock over there, isn’t there?”

Although there was a full moon hanging in the sky, the view was unclear due to the ever-changing mist that often shrouded the lakeside. The artificial rock was just a dark shadow in the distance.

However, within this black shadow, there was a small touch of white, extremely conspicuous.

When no one was paying attention, that touch of white was like a coin dropped on the road, easily overlooked. But when someone does notice, that touch of white becomes the only bright spot against the black backdrop, unusually striking.

”Looks like a cat?” Curly-haired Dog seemed interested as well, slightly straightening up and peering towards the artificial rock, ”I remember that the cat that lost its eyeball was found there, right?”

”Indeed... Too brutal.” The chubby wizard sighed.

”Could it be that its family has arrived?” Another tall thin male wizard guessed, ”I remember the small animals that stay in school all have some spirituality, maybe it’s mourning?”

”Quite possible.” The chubby wizard nodded in agreement, ”The kitten that originally had the accident was also white... I saw it before the school collected its body. I remember that day’s campus newspaper even printed its obituary, and there was a picture of it with its eyes censored.”

”If you’re curious, we’ll find out if we go over and check!” Curly-haired Dog leaned on his cane, stood up, and walked straight towards the artificial rock, while beckoning to his two companions behind him, ”Do you want to come along...After all, we are on patrol duty, responsible for monitoring such abnormal situations.”

Although his words were polite, both his actions and tone were somewhat aggressive. Perhaps his companions were accustomed to this style of his, the other two wizards who were sitting on the bench, looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and finally followed in Curly-haired Dog’s steps.

The pale green Deadly Wind Lamp faded into the distance along with the departing footsteps of the patrolling wizards. The black cat hiding behind the bushes stood up again, lazily strolled to the entrance of the tree hole, sneered, and ignored the figures gradually fading into the distance. Instead, it refocused its attention on the tree hole.

From just now, it had been considering whether to crawl into this hole to see exactly what sort of creature the big mouse wearing clothes was – considering its current size – this thought was becoming increasingly intense after the patrol officers had left.

However, thinking of those patrol officers, especially Curly-haired Dog, Zheng Qing had a bad taste in his mouth.

That guy, known for his ’gossiping’ skills, could always dig out some news from any topic.

In addition, what he did not expect was that besides Jiang Yu, there were actually others in the school who remembered the little white cat. Maybe if it wasn’t for Jiang Yu, the young student on scholarship would have long forgotten about the cat’s ordeal. It can only be said that the nature of wizards loving small animals is universally present -- of course, it could also be that the atmosphere in the first university is too tranquil, that even a cat’s ordeal could leave a deep mark in the students’ memory.

Speaking of Jiang Yu, ever since she took away his transformation notebook a few days ago, she seemed to have become another Gypsy witch, disappearing from people’s sight from time to time. If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t miss any class, Zheng Qing would not have been able to resist looking for her to ’discuss’ the related risks.

...Transformation technique?

... Little white cat?

As it was flexing its claws and paws, and staring at the tree hole, the black cat seemed to have thought of something. It suddenly stiffened, then slowly turned its head, following the departing figures of the wizards, it looked back towards the artificial rock.

Under the moonlight, on the artificial rock, a small white cat, about a foot tall, is laboriously trying to climb onto a protruding rock, attempting to reach the top of the artificial rock. Perhaps for humans it’s a bit dark and hard to see clearly, but for a cat, especially a magical cat, this was not a problem at all -- Zheng Qing could even clearly see the little pink nose of the white cat wrinkling because of exertion.

The young scholarship student suddenly realised that he had never seen such a clumsy cat...

”It’s really a little white cat!” came the shouts of Curly-haired Dog from the distance: ”But it looks so stupid! I have never seen a cat that couldn’t even climb a fake mountain...”

”Maybe, maybe it’s because it hasn’t been weaned,” the chubby wizard guessed out of breath, ”Look at how small it is, it doesn’t seem bigger than my palm...”

”There’s no need to guess, just catch it and we’ll know!” As they spoke, they had already reached the bottom of the artificial rock. Curly-haired Dog rubbed his hands together, reaching towards the little white cat not far away.

...

Jiang Yu felt she was a bit unlucky.

Although she was the one who proposed to Doctor Du Zemu to prepare a ’Directional Transformation Potion’, and it was also she who gave the specific data of the transformed kitten, she never knew that being a cat could be so difficult!

If she had used the ’Traditional Transformation Potion’, there will always be many hidden connections between the transformed animal and the wizard’s inner projection, enabling the transformed wizard to directly master the ’abilities’ of those animals based on intuition and instinct.

Such as a cat’s climbing and hunting skills, a dog’s tracking and alertness, a bird’s flight ability, an insect’s burrowing, and so on.

However, after using the ’Directional Transformation Potion’, there will always be a certain ’mismatch’ feeling between the wizard and the animal, which requires a certain degree of ’adjustment practice’.

Originally, Jiang Yu planned to do the ’adjustment practice’ in her dorm, but Li Meng, the little troublemaker, completely ignored Jiang Yu’s repeated warnings after seeing such a cute kitten, incessantly playing with it, giving the cat no chance to practice-- of course, it could also be that Li Meng was taking revenge for her cousin’s usual ear-twisting, and head-rubbing gestures.

Anyway, staying in the dormitory, there was no way to continue the ’adjustment practice’. So, Jiang Xiaomao could only sneak out from the door gap when Li Meng wasn’t paying attention.

The campus under the night sky was very quiet.

Before she knew it, she had arrived under this artificial rock.

In fact, she was not ready to come here yet. But since she has come, she can’t just turn around and leave. Jiang Xiaomao hesitated for a moment, then decided to conduct her ’adjustment practice’ on this artificial rock. -- This is why, as a cat, her movements are a bit clumsy.

”I’ll definitely twist that little girl’s face till it’s swollen tomorrow!” During her breathless climb to the top of the artificial rock, Jiang Xiaomao grumbled in her heart, considering ways to punish Li Meng.

However, before she could figure out how to deal with Li Meng, a certain patrol officer had already figured out how to handle her.
