High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 2682: Chapter 903: At Edge Academy

The Risk Prohibition Contract is typically a magic contract signed by wizards before engaging in adventurous activities, including outdoor adventures, high-risk experiments in laboratories, and trading high-value magic materials.

It is often used in the insurance industry.

The main function of this type of contract is to regulate the rights and obligations of both parties involved, aiming to protect the personal safety and magic secrets of the party with a higher risk exposure, in order to maintain fair trading rules and alliance order.

The contract Zheng Qing pulled out was produced by Danghag and certified by various institutions of First University. The contract content was very comprehensive and rigorous, not only stipulating the scope and duration of ’elements’ usage but also including a series of usage restrictions—such as limiting usage to the Buji Island area, not allowing trading to other third parties, prohibition of usage in illegal magic experiments, and forbidding results of usage from causing harm to the parties involved, etc.

In addition to this, the contract also contains compensation provisions, breach responsibility criteria, dispute resolution plans, conflict matter identifications, and many other details and attachments.

The box of cake Zheng Qing received belongs to one of the ’compensation provisions’—institutions such as the Alliance and schools need to provide appropriate nutritional support to parties cooperating with public interest-related matters.

”...After Thomas sent me out of the office building, I originally thought he would send me straight back, but he actually opened a shielding barrier, took out an application form, and this contract.”

Zheng Qing pushed the Fat Cat, Tuan Tuan, who was trying hard to snuggle up to him, a little further away, then shook the parchment in his hand and casually explained:

”The application form is about a special project in Edge Academy, there’s very little valid information in the form, but it can confirm that it is related to the little hand task the assistant group is doing. In conclusion, that project is currently selecting the final task executors, Thomas feels that my conditions are very suitable, so he recommended me to apply...”

”What exactly is the project?” The Fat Wizard couldn’t help but lick the cake crumbs at the corner of his mouth, looking at Zheng Qing eagerly, hoping to hear some real news.

Zheng Qing curled his lips and shook his head.

The Fat Cat mimicked his actions, curling its lips, shaking its head, and wagging its tail, already behaving like the second Furry Bean.

”I don’t know.”

He couldn’t help but chuckle, honestly telling his two companions: ”However, according to Thomas’s introduction, this project is supported by the entire school, the most important task of Edge Academy in the first half of the year—even more important than Edge Academy’s opening ceremony—The project leader is Vice Principal Ruoyu, the other four school deans and four research institute deans serve as deputies, and the assistant group’s little hand task presence is insignificant in the whole project group... The classification level is very, very, very high.”

The three consecutive ’very’s fully explained his level of ignorance about the project.

”So, does applying require your flesh and blood?”

Xiao Xiao thoughtfully looked at Zheng Qing’s still unhealed arm and guessed: ”It sounds like some adaptability test, seems like they are finding an operator for some kind of powerful magic artifact... Do you know Prince John Hugh Karen of the Karen Family? Back then he wielded the Blood Clan Holy Grail through the blood lineage adaptation of the Blood Race council...”

”As a result, he ran away to the New Continent with the Holy Grail, and even used the true blood in the Grail to cultivate three powerful Blood Clan Elders for the Karen Family.” Speaking of the Karen Family’s shady past, Xin Fat Man immediately became interested, but his tone was not disdainful at all, instead, it was filled with admiration.

”You guys are really gutsy.”

Zheng Qing shook his head repeatedly at his two companions casually mentioning the true name of a powerful vampire, and then nodded: ”Although Doctor you guess similarly to Thomas, he also thinks this way... Not only that, he also told me, if I pass the selection, then after graduating this semester I can directly enter the project group, get the assistant group’s senior title, and have the qualification to compete for the lecturer position in the first year of graduation, normally, ordinary assistants need at least five years of assistant experience to apply for lecturer position... Tuan Tuan, stop staring at me, there’s no way I’d let you use your prickly tongue to lick my flesh!”

Zheng Qing once again warned pushing the Fat Cat a little further away from his arm.

Causing the Fat Cat to frantically wag its tail.

”Five years!”

On the other side, Xin Fat Man sighed at this duration and patted Xiao Xiao on the shoulder, marveling: ”I didn’t even know you and Teacher Sima have such a big age gap... I originally thought you guys are only three to five years apart!”

”She has never been an assistant.”

Xiao Xiao glanced at the Fat Man, proudly lifted her chin: ”The rule only applies to ordinary registered wizards, for certain special talents or elite talents, the school has a special talent introduction plan... Just like Mr. Zha, if he applied for this project, he wouldn’t need to squat at the assistant group for five years.”

”Don’t use that name anymore!” Zheng Qing thought of the three Great Elves being led astray, decided never to let this trend continue to spread.

”That’s not the way to say it.”

The Fat Wizard ignored Zheng Qing’s warning, seriously started arguing with Xiao Xiao: ”Assistant, lecturer, associate professor, professor, chief, etc., these steady, step-by-step promoted professors are the core and backbone of the First University... Do you think the level of the assistant group Zhang Yu or Thomas is not high? They are willing to grind themselves at this stage because they know the importance of the foundation!”

”Grinding foundation at the assistant group?” Xiao Xiao raised her eyebrows: ”I didn’t deny that the wizards from the group have a more solid foundation, I’m just reminding you that excellent wizards have other choices.”

Seeing the topic sliding into an unknown direction.

Zheng Qing had to cough heavily for two times, tugging at the white bandage, finally drawing his two companions’ attention back to his injured arm.

”Hmm, speaking of which, why is your wound taking so long to heal?” Xiao Xiao adjusted her glasses, carefully examining the layer of translucent white flesh membrane, her tone had some curiosity: ”If I remember correctly, your physical strength and recovery ability should be more powerful than the Fat Man now...”

The Fat Wizard snorted dissatisfiedly yet ultimately did not open his mouth to argue.

Zheng Qing felt happy someone finally noticed this point.

”As you said, my physical strength is now indeed extraordinary.”

He took out a small silver knife used for experiments in Magic Potion class from the Grey Cloth Bag, casually sliced across his arm but didn’t even scratch the oily skin, then spun the small knife in his fingers with some show-off: ”So after accepting Thomas’s recommendation, he wasted great effort and used many techniques before extracting such a small piece of tissue from my arm... But due to using certain special magic when extracting flesh, the recovery ability of this small piece of arm became very weak, but it’s okay, Thomas said by tomorrow morning everything can return to its original state...”
