High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 737: Chapter 85 Friendly Contact_1

Maybe the little white cat wanted to play a prank on the two wizards.

Perhaps the little white cat was just curious when it saw the two young wizards, so it came over to say hello. There are numerous animals in the University that admire wizards and it’s not uncommon to find wild birds perch on a wizard’s shoulder for food. However, it was clear that a certain over-anxious young wizard had massively overreacted to the little white cat’s ’greeting’, managing to throw out an entire talisman paper at it.

Luckily, those talismans were of poor quality and had limited power.

Luckily, the little white cat was agile and managed to dodge the effect range of the talisman.

”That freaked me out! Thank goodness...” The young student, relieved, took a long breath. If two people killed a wild demon while on night patrol, that would undoubtedly be a great merit. But if two people accidentally killed a small animal while on patrol, even with the maintenance commission’s exemption clause, they would still have to deal with a series of tedious follow-ups.

They might even be questioned by the Wizard Court.

Considering the series of mishaps that occurred last term, Zheng Qing felt that college was already difficult enough. He really didn’t want any more complications.

”That freaked me out too!” Lin Guo was chattering to himself similar to Zheng Qing’s sentiment, but with more emphasis.

He was purely frightened by the sudden appearance of the little white cat.

”Can you make sure to see what you’re throwing at before you start throwing talisman paper?!” The young student regained his composure and rushed forward to smack the young wizard’s head twice in reprimand. ”Who throws talisman paper with their eyes closed?! Even if you didn’t hit the target, but the flowers and plants, it would still be troublesome.”

Lin Guo didn’t seem too happy about Zheng Qing’s reprimand.

”I want to practice more!” The little wizard pouted, staring at the little white cat with a hint of annoyance. ”But you guys won’t let me! ... Didn’t you put me in the logistics department? If I practiced in the hunting ground a few more times, my performance would certainly be much better!”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qing was speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, he awkwardly said, ”Apart from the hunting ground, you could also train by other means... Like joining interest groups or going with Blue Bird to challenge the Starry Sky Academy’s ring...

The young wizard tilted his head and looked at Zheng Qing with increasing puzzlement. He was almost pointing at Zheng Qing’s nose questioning his identity — everybody knew the Starry Sky Academy’s ring was very dangerous. If Blue Bird was willing to let Lin Guo take such a risk, he would certainly not prevent the little wizard from entering the hunting matches.

Zheng Qing also thought of this, and couldn’t help but touch his nose and turn his gaze to the little white cat embarrassedly.

Then his gaze shifted subtly, and he remembered a night not long ago, by the lake, when a patrolling student had encountered the little white cat — except then it was a black cat, and the student was a fragrant chatterbox ’curly-haired dog.’

That day, he ’rescued’ the little white cat from a few patrolling students, but the little guy run away without saying goodbye, bouncing around through the branches over his head.

Recalling this incident, the young student felt inexplicably angry.

”Hey, little guy, we meet again!” Zheng Qing crouched down, smiling as he looked at the little white cat sitting a few meters away, shaking his finger at it, ”Come here, I have some treats for you...”

Hearing this crass and even somewhat vulgar greeting, the little white cat’s upright ears drooped, and the curiosity in its eyes turned into disgust when it looked at the student. Yes, Lin Guo was confident in his ability to read animals’ eyes, and he was sure the little white cat looked at Zheng Qing very poorly.

Thus, the recently reprimanded little wizard closed his mouth, grinning as he looked at Zheng Qing’s beckoning fingers and slowly advancing steps, expecting the little white cat to slap the student in the face.

Just then, there was a faint sound in Zheng Qing’s cloak.

His cloak rustled, then a fluffy little head squeezed out from the space in his chest.

It was Poseidon.

Perhaps Poseidon was frightened by Zheng Qing’s greasy voice, or maybe the little fox just felt a bit stuffy. Regardless, it abandoned its cozy nest in the cloak, peeked out and lay on Zheng Qing’s chest, its round eyes peering unblinkingly at the little white cat before it.

”Squeak!” The little fox raised a paw, greeting the little white cat in a friendly way.

The little white cat, who initially looked angry, was startled by this sudden greeting. After a moment of hesitation, it also raised its paw and waved at the little fox, giving a short meow in salute.

With that response, the little fox perked up, wriggling out of Zheng Qing’s arms with its tail wagging and its small waist twisting, squeaking as it approached the cat - but that was as far as it went.

Whether it was being cautious towards strange animals, that little cat always kept a distance of more than one foot from everyone, including the little fox. If the little fox lunged forward, the little white cat would back off a few steps; if it got impatient, it would climb up a nearby smooth tree trunk and jump into the branches, leaving the little fox, who couldn’t climb trees, squealing at the bottom of the tree, utterly aggrieved.

”Come here, don’t scare it.” Zheng Qing beckoned to his fox, called it back. ”It’s not a fox, you being too enthusiastic is going to frighten it.”

At his words, the little fox, tail drooping, sullenly slinked back to Zheng Qing’s feet from the bottom of the tree.

With the little fox’s harassment gone, that little white cat didn’t hide anymore. It soon jumped down from the tree, ran back to the front of the two young wizards, sat there, tilted its head, and stared motionlessly at them.

”Hey, chief... Does this little white cat know you?” Lin Guo sat cross-legged on the back of his goat, supporting his chin, his eyes traveling between the little white cat, Zheng Qing, and little fox. Eventually, he couldn’t help but ask in a low voice: ”Why is it always just staring at you?”

”How should I know!” Zheng Qing was also baffled. Even though he saved this little white cat when he was in cat form, he was human now! There’s no way it could recognise him!

Or did he naturally have the ability to attract cats? The young student thought of the earlier incidents and couldn’t help touching his face. At the same time, he couldn’t help but sigh — if he had the ability to attract girls, that would have been great.
