High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 2641: Chapter 862: Mini Wizard

Zheng Qing had intended to refuse Su Shijun’s gift.

However, the string of beads was simply too beautiful, and the flow of magical energy between the beads gave a very comfortable feeling. Just holding it in his hand made him feel at ease—hard to imagine how he would feel wearing it all day.

These big wizards are truly masters at playing with magic.

Of course, regarding Su Shijun’s description of it being ’a bit powerful,’ Zheng Qing maintained cautious trust, planning to find some time to test it, lest he repeat the story of using the Charm Gun to severely injure Sepulano.

These thoughts flashed in the Warlock’s mind, and in just a few seconds of hesitation, the Witch behind the desk blocked any plans he had of returning the gift with a single sentence.

”If you break this string of beads, you can come to me for a new one.” Su Shijun pulled a lollipop from the drawer, brought it to her mouth, licked it with her tongue, and glanced at the boy: ”But if you lose it or hide it away so you’re afraid to wear it... do you remember how I punished you last time?”

Crunch.

She bit the candy to pieces.

Zheng Qing swallowed nervously; the moment he heard the word ’punishment,’ he immediately recalled the experience of coming to this office last Monday.

At that time, Su Shijun was also eating lollipops.

No, she was eating sugar figurines—though she destroyed the sugar figures, Zheng Qing felt as if she devoured him, bones and all.

Just those scattered memories made Zheng Qing feel like smoke was rising from his head again.

”Oh, and recently, you talked to your shadow about two-dimensional evolution experiences, right?”

Su Shijun seemed to be just idly chatting with him; each topic had no apparent connection, seeming very jumpy: ”Quickly sort out the chat records and submit them to me...”

If she hadn’t reminded him, Zheng Qing would have nearly forgotten she was still his graduation thesis advisor.

”Oh, oh, it’s already organized!”

The boy instantly recalled the materials he had polished just yesterday, hurriedly retrieved them from the Grey Cloth Bag, and presented them respectfully to the witch: ”... What’s the next task?”

”Next?”

Su Shijun looked at him with a subtle expression: ”Next, after I’ve prepared the thesis, you just need to sign it. Of course, before the final defense, I will give you plenty of time to digest and understand it... after all, it is your graduation thesis.”

So, it seems, one’s resistance to embarrassment can actually be improved.

From his entrance until now, Zheng Qing had experienced two continuous ’smoke-level’ embarrassments, such that when Su Shijun mentioned signing the thesis, something typically awkward, he felt calm, without even a hint of blush.

However, hearing the witch mention the Shadow Cat, Zheng Qing immediately thought of last night’s Cat Fruit Tree and the threats the Shadow Cat made before leaving; he cautiously glanced at Su Meiren’s expression.

As beautiful as a picture, her expression remained calm.

”Um, Cat Thirteen... that’s my shadow, mentioned it would visit you yesterday...” he murmured, testing the waters.

Su Shijun nodded nonchalantly: ”Yes, it came by, took a stroll in the garden after dinner, and played with Dong Dong for a while... it said a Little White Cat had a beautiful Little White Cat, is it true?”

Hearing the witch’s earlier answer, Zheng Qing quietly sighed in relief, but the subsequent words caught his breath in his throat, regretting not giving that chatty cat a Blood Symbol Bullet last night.

”It’s false!”

His voice rang out vibrant with urgency: ”That Little White Cat didn’t have a Little White Cat; the Little White Cat is transformed through the Transformation Technique, what I mean is, the ’born Little White Cat’ you mentioned was transformed...”

A simple question seemed to lead to a fumbled and overly complicated explanation from him.

Su Shijun looked at him, playing with the feather pen in her hand as if she found it amusing.

Only when the boy stopped talking did she slowly respond: ”You don’t need to rush to explain... even if there’s an extra Little White Cat, does it make a difference? You’re all adults, well, adult cats now, plus you’re capable of taking care of many. Dong Dong having more siblings is not a bad thing, better than the grey old dog you gave her... Oh, speaking of that dog, where did it run off yesterday? Didn’t see it during lunch.”

Almost every point, Zheng Qing wanted to refute.

But after the explanations and arguments circled a few laps in his mind, ultimately, he could only vague explain the last question: ”Furry Bean, not sure... probably went out to play, it’s always quite mischievous.”

Because the events from yesterday involved a certain ancient being with a delicate stance, he was unsure whether to mention it to the witch, so he inwardly apologized for Gouzi.

”Is that so?”

The witch glanced at him with a slight nod: ”Just as long as no incident occurred, it ran off when a big snake emerged in Beta Town, I almost thought it got swallowed by the snake.”

Zheng Qing anxiety touched his ears softly.

”I heard due to that big snake yesterday, the Moon Council held an emergency meeting with high-level wizards?” he suddenly remembered the Fat Wizard munching popcorn and telling him, and started doubting whether Su Shijun was at Buji Island during lunch; he couldn’t resist asking softly: ”... Where was that meeting held?”

Su Shijun twirled the hair on her shoulder with fingertips, her smile slightly amused: ”It was held at Moonlit Castle, the Clock Channel can be used... Though you mentioned yesterday’s meeting was due to the snake, that’s not accurate. In fact, the emergency meeting of the high-level wizards was convened before the snake appeared... You can only say destiny’s wonders far exceed what we little wizards can comprehend.”

You such a big wizard calling yourself a ’little wizard,’ then us who aren’t even registered wizards, what should we say? Micro wizards? Mini wizard?

Zheng Qing grumbled internally, subconsciously glanced at the new gift in his hands again, his mind rising with another hint of unease—the ’a bit powerful’ beads, might they be a concept similar to the witch’s ’little wizard’?

”Time’s about up, you should flip the hourglass, head to class.” Su Shijun knocked on the table, reminding him.

Zheng Qing wasn’t sure of her intentions.

”So... nothing else?” he felt today’s visit seemed somewhat inexplicable.

”Was initially planning to subtly chat about yesterday’s event, since the snake appeared so suddenly, a bit beyond expectations... but suddenly felt it unnecessary.” Su Shijun supported her chin with one hand, twirling the feather pen with the other, smiled slightly: ”Since you are still healthy, doing well, it indicates no big issue... if really caught in trouble, you’d surely tell me, right.”
