High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 2520: Chapter 741: Secret Weapon

”What if a wizard suddenly acts foolish due to confusion?”

Unlike others, Xiao Xiao didn’t ridicule the rough and spontaneous ’free check-up’ plan. Instead, he was very interested in the check-up coupon, using various detection magic to carefully inspect the remnants on it, while clicking his tongue and exclaiming, ”Very clean, very clean... no useful information left. Having a newly formed small club of first-year students come forward means no one can catch their trail, nor do they show their fox tail. The devils in your secret society are indeed very cunning.”

Unlike the Doctor, Xin Fat Man was more concerned about another matter.

”You’ll attend the secret meeting of the assistant team tomorrow, right?” The fat wizard held a small notebook in his hand and looked eagerly at Zheng Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his face full of anticipation.

Zheng Qing felt as if he were looking at an inflated version of a furry bean.

However, at first, he didn’t quite grasp what the fat wizard was saying, ”Secret meeting? What secret meeting? Isn’t tomorrow the weekend?”

”The one held in the assistant team’s main conference room!” Xin Fat Man stretched out his thick, short finger and knocked on his forehead, ”I remember clearly, you received an invitation last Sunday and were undecided until the next day!”

”Oh, oh! Are you talking about that one?”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qing suddenly understood, but was somewhat puzzled, ”There is indeed such a meeting, and I didn’t decline... I suppose I need to, um, I mean, I’ll be attending. Why, are you very interested in it? When did it become a secret meeting?”

The ’you’ he referred to naturally included the ’campus newspaper editorial department’ behind the fat wizard.

”Forget about it!”

Upon hearing this, Xin Fat Man immediately showed a look of great frustration and resentfulness, ”Originally, we thought it was just an ordinary meeting of the assistant team, but who knew that the ’Beta Town Post’ somehow got the news, saying this meeting is related to Edge Academy’s development of a secret weapon! So it’s being privately referred to as a ’secret meeting’... Of course, these rumors are only circulating among those in the know, if you’ve been sitting in the Wandering Bar these days, you’d know that seven or eight out of ten tables are discussing this matter... but now we find ourselves in a passive position. If we don’t interview, and the Post snatches the headline, we’ll appear unprofessional; if we do, the assistant team is being very strict this time...”

Wandering Bar.

Upon hearing this familiar term, Zheng Qing felt extraordinarily unfamiliar. He couldn’t even remember the last time he entered the Wandering Bar or for what reason.

However, Xiao Xiao shifted his attention from the free check-up coupon in his hand and looked very interested in the fat wizard, ”Edge Academy’s secret weapon? What secret weapon?”

”If I knew, would I have to inquire from Brother Qing? If I knew what weapon it was, would it still be called a secret weapon?”

The fat wizard used two rhetorical questions to rare scorn the Doctor a bit, then turned around and fished out a box of dried fruit from his pocket, offering it to Zheng Qing with enthusiasm, ”You’ve been studying hard lately, and can’t eat properly. These nuts are nutritious and delicious, you can chew on a few while doing homework, it won’t take up any time... if it’s not enough, come to me! Whatever you want to eat, just say the word!”

He pounded his chest loudly.

Zheng Qing opened the wooden lid, reached in to pick up a large pine nut, weighed it, and after contemplating for a moment, ”I remember you complained yesterday, saying it was troublesome to have to use a code every time you talked to me?”

”That was Dylan saying it! Definitely not what I meant!”

Xin Fat Man pointed at Mister Wolfman’s currently empty black coffin with determination, ”There are many malicious people at school, just like Old Yao emphasized at every class meeting, safety concerns are more important than Mount Tai, safety should be discussed monthly, weekly, daily, you can’t place enough importance on it... the code system you invented is simple and effective, I think if you were to submit an explanatory article, the editorial department would definitely be willing to pay a decent reward!”

”Hmm, there’s no need to have it on the newspaper.” Zheng Qing, being quite self-aware, was satisfied as he tossed the pine nut into his mouth, chewing it felt flavorful.

Then he picked up a cashew from the box, squinting as he looked at the smiling fat wizard, ”If tomorrow morning Su Ya doesn’t bring me breakfast...”

Concerned about the risk of dining at the public cafeteria, Zheng Qing had been freeloading at Greenhill Mansion for a week now, with Su Ya responsible for bringing him food. In the first few days, because she could wander around the school from time to time, the little fox lady was very proactive, delivering it on time each time. But as time passed, she realized that whether she delivered it a little earlier or later, Zheng Qing wouldn’t starve, so she immediately became much more slack.

For instance, today’s lunch, Su Ya hurriedly arrived less than half an hour before the afternoon class, stuffing the lunch box in the warlock’s hands. Zheng Qing clearly saw a few suspicious red short hairs on the lunch box, suspecting she went to the Pet Garden to play with a few little foxes again.

”Did Jiulama bite this meatball?” The warlock picked up the food from his plate and joked. Jiulama was a red fox from the Pet Garden, once a good playmate of Poseidon.

Su Ya widened her eyes in surprise, ”Jiulama absolutely didn’t drink your meatball soup, it only ate a few shrimps, and swallowed them whole!”

The warlock immediately felt suffocated.

”Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Sister Su Man?” He picked a piece of fox fur with his fingers and handed it to Su Ya.

The little fox’s ears popped out from her hair with a brush, glancing at the boy with disdain, unwavering, ”How can a grown-up tattletale... I was clearly helping you test poison through the Fox Gang!”

In terms of sharp tongue, Zheng Qing was no match for this little fox, so he could only pinch his nose and pick through the food to eat it.

But it also resolved him to find a new ’food’ route.

At this moment, Xin Fat Man, known for his culinary expertise, came rushing forward, there was no better choice than him, so naturally, Zheng Qing decided to give him a ’chance’.

The fat wizard, once a recipient of the Golden Feather award at the campus newspaper editorial department, understood subtleties when he heard them, and almost instantly put on an expression of ’shocked outrage’, ”That little fox is that irresponsible? There’s no ’tomorrow’ or ’the day after’! Next week’s seven days’ breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all on me, absolutely safe, absolutely nutritious, and I’ll taste every dish before handing it over to you!”

Zheng Qing silently rolled his eyes.

”I can’t guarantee how much I can reveal about the content I hear at the meeting, but I’ll definitely tell you what I can.” As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of parchment and a gold bean from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Xiao, ”Doctor, based on our recent discussion, draft a simple contract for us...”
