High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 2845: Chapter 1066: Timestamp

”...An ancient tree, two sides confront each other, wars occur repeatedly, attracting youths from Wuling, Silver Saddle White Horse rides the spring breeze! Six paths battle fiercely, Seven stars hang overhead, Good news comes from all directions, Jiuyou gather warriors, a journey of a hundred thousand miles!”

The melodious and deep voice echoed in the First Hall, resonating with the murals carved on the walls portraying the history of wizard struggles, emitting an aura of awe.

On the terrace, in the corridors, and in the hall, the wizards who had been silent seemed to sense something at that moment, all raising their heads. Almost simultaneously, the voice echoing in the hall rose abruptly:

”...Facing the greatest terror in the world with minimal Dao practice is a symbol of courage!”

A blue flame appeared abruptly in mid-air, illuminating the wizards below wearing blue robes, their solemn expressions raised.

In the firelight, images flashed quickly, finally stopping at a shallow pit where five young hunters huddled together, holding the Law book, bravely facing the dozen majestic and vague figures surrounding them. The heavy pressure in the air could be clearly felt by everyone present, even through the firelight.

”...The unity of knowledge and action, choosing one’s path, is the condensation of faith!”

A golden flame appeared slowly, opposite the blue flame.

In the golden light, a black cat and a witch stood facing each other.

The black cat’s voice was filled with admonition: ’Everyone has their own road ahead, whether following the path or taking a detour, it is their own choice.’

The image slowly rotated, revealing the witch’s calm face, her cold voice ringing in everyone’s ears, ’Leave the future to itself, we choose now...as long as each choice does not betray our faith, when the future arrives, we shall ultimately obtain our own absolution.’

The image shifted.

The witch turned and jumped onto the back of the black cat, gripping the soft fur around its neck.

The black cat leaped and disappeared under the castle wall.

The light in the First Hall suddenly dimmed, Zheng Qing noticed Jiang Yu’s earlobes seemed to redden slightly.

”...Never give up, pursue the true self, is to fight for freedom!”

A white flame lit up.

At first, a mirror appeared with a little girl inside, she was panicked, lonely, wandering all around, the scene flashed quickly, the bizarre scenery in Dreamland caused amazement in the hall, Zheng Qing watched with a hint of nostalgia, seeing the brief intersection of the Atonement Hunting Team and the Little Witch in that world. The image jumped again, the little girl appeared in Black Prison.

This time, behind her appeared two figures standing side by side, hideous and vague, seeming inhuman, one appeared hunchbacked like an insect, the other enormous like a mouse.

Snap!

The white flame jumped abruptly, bursting with several loud sparks before everyone’s eyes. Where the faculty and guests gathered in the hall, some uneasy commotion appeared, the panda lazily seated under a pillar suddenly stood up, looking at the ceiling, Zheng Qing noticed someone seemed to be looking around on the terrace too.

Snap!

The white flame jumped again, along with newly appeared sparks, the two shadows behind the girl seemed to be washed vigorously by invisible water, erasing their edges, revealing the clearer but still somewhat vague silhouettes of a young warlock and witch, they seemed to come alive, glanced at each other, hugged together, then looked down at the Little Witch, embracing her as well.

Zheng Qing didn’t need to think to know who they were.

He couldn’t help but stand on tiptoes, looking towards the direction of the faculty, but only a dense crowd, completely unable to see Zhu Si’s figure.

”...Impartial, practicing truth, justice may be late, but will never be absent!”

When the deep red flame ignited, Zheng Qing vaguely saw the slender pillar of light he had knocked over in the Black Prison World, there were no other images within the firelight.

Listening to the blessing words, it was odd and strange, he inexplicably felt he was being implicitly criticized—implying his equal treatment towards demons and wizards, helping wizards fight demons, while helping demons break wizard castles.

There couldn’t be a more fair action than this.

The boy wandered in his thoughts, watching with open eyes as slender flames flowed out from between the four main flames, gradually approaching each other until they merged into one.

The four flames became one.

Yet the color was difficult to describe.

Since you could see gold, red as well as blue and white on it. Just when everyone thought it was over, a faint green flame silently appeared around the four-colored flame, like a planet orbiting a star, slowly and steadily approaching it.

The voice reverberating in the hall paused.

Apparently he didn’t know such a scene would appear.

In the hall, numerous wizards’ gazes collectively looked towards the small group of figures in green robes standing at the students’ edge, yet they didn’t seem to feel the stares, all crossing their arms in front of their chests, looking up at the green flame as it merged gradually into the four-colored flame.

The four-colored flame became the five-colored flame.

The firelight seemed even deeper.

Slight whispers sounded from all around, Zheng Qing didn’t hear clearly but he felt Edge Academy should appear here. Looking again at the corner of the hall, the wizards in green robes were already standing proudly, their expressions unable to hide excitement.

Afterward, the voice resonating in the hall rose again: ”——The team awarded the ’First University Special Contribution Award’ is, the entire Atonement Hunting Team! Let’s warmly applaud, inviting all Atonement Hunting Team members to the stage...”

Thank heavens.

It wasn’t just himself bearing this pressure.

This was the only thought that emerged in Zheng Qing’s mind.

He eagerly pushed Xiao Xiao and Xin to walk in front of him, but was unexpectedly shoved hard from behind by Zhang Ji Xin, urging: ”——Hurry up, do you want us to carry you up?”

Then I’d rather slit my throat.

A thought flashed through Zheng Qing’s mind, he nimbly quickened his pace.

At the same time, from other positions in the Jiuyou Academy team, from other corners of the First University, members of the Atonement Hunting Team—Jiang Yu, Dylan, Blue Bird, Shi Yuan, Lin Guo, and even Li Meng—all walked out, one after another.

Though everyone stood together.

But Zheng Qing felt as if there were more gazes falling on him, whether it was an illusion. Including that panda. When Zheng Qing’s gaze accidentally landed on it, it seemed as if it was waiting there long ago, winking at him humorously.

The boy hurriedly withdrew his gaze, startled.

”——At this moment, Black Prison World and Wizard World, First University and the Wizard Alliance, we, you and they, are together witnessing the impression time leaves here, witnessing the birth of new history!”

The five-colored flame rotated, as if wax melted open, pressed by an invisible seal, forming an irregular ’wax seal’. The seal’s edge was irregular, yet the center had the words First University and Atonement Hunting Team.

Then it shattered with a bang under everyone’s gaze, turning into brilliant motes of light, dissipating in the air.

This was a timestamp.

No need for anyone to explain, the name naturally settled in everyone’s heart.
