Chapter 194: Chapter 118: Showing Off Becomes a Trend _1

The afternoon sun.

Although no longer scorching, it still holds a formidable power.

If morning sun is an expert in outer force, filled with sharp edges proving a point, the afternoon sun is an inner force master, standing there, seemingly ordinary yet more intimidating.

In the Green Valley.

The breeze, too, doesn’t seem to withstand the sun’s searing heat, slowing down almost secretly, retreating to an unknown place.

The plump and soft grass lay lazily on the soil, their crumpled leaves open, resigned to the sun siphoning off their moisture, apparently giving up on revival.

The new students standing on the lawn begin to gradually forget the warning Assistant Hilda gave before departing.

In the lineup of the Alpha freshmen, a few boys with white hoods are gathered, boldly grumbling about the rule of not being allowed to enter the hunting grounds in their first month.

"What a ridiculous rule," a tall, skinny boy ridicules indolently, dragging out his words, "It’s not some high-risk lab, we all have a hunting ground or two in our homes... this school rule is treating us like toddlers!"

"Yeah, I agree! I’ve been required to camp in the family hunting ground every month since I turned ten. Every year, without fail," blurted a slightly overweight wizard, gesticulating wildly and spraying his friends with spittle while boasting about his experiences, " They’d only allow me on my own, wouldn’t even let me wear the amulet my grandma gave me! I’ll have you know, there’s more than one Wild Demon in our hunting ground!"

"That’s not strange at all." The tall, skinny boy glanced contemptuously at Jiuyou students’ red robes across them, and spoke in a snobbish tone, "Any family with a long history knows who the greatest enemy in the wizarding world is. We’ve been educated from an early age... some people are completely ignorant!"

Unsurprisingly, these exaggerated expressions attracted the attention of many witches.

A few exclamations and sounds of admiration from the girls gathered around the nearby wizards.

The young male wizards of Jiuyou Academy were naturally not to be outdone.

Zhang Ji Xin was comfortably boasting to his friends about the story of his brother taking him hunting for a Tanggula Ice Chi.

"That beast was a dull yellow color, with eyes twice the size of a Number 2 Crucible! Although it only had three toes, it was nearly a hundred feet long! When my brother cut off its head, blood shot out ten-plus meters high from the neck!"

He spread his arms wide, attempting to illustrate just how long the teeth of the Tanggula Ice Chilong were.

His face turned red with excitement, shining brightly under the sun, and seemed to radiate heat.

Compared to the ambiguous brags of the others, this story was significantly more vivid. Many girls, including the white-robed witches across the way, pricked their ears and listened to his story with grave faces.

Xin Fat Man, who always enjoys teasing the red-faced male student, wouldn’t let Zhang Ji Xin hog all the glory.

"Hunting an Ice Chilong isn’t a big deal," he argued, his eyes sparkling with blue light, flailing his sturdy, muscular arms as he boasted loudly, "I live in Worms, by the Rhine River. There is a flock of Saxon Werewolves in the Burgundy Black Forest there."

"Those exiles banished by the Rhine Werewolves?" Duan Xiao Jian sucked in his breath with surprise.

"Yes, that’s them!" Xin Fat Man, thrilled to find someone who understood the creature he was referring to, continued, "When I was twelve, I went with my uncle to the Burgundy Black Forest to hunt those wild werewolves... look at this!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a cord from around his neck.

It was a necklace.

At the end of the necklace hung several sharp fangs.

Perhaps time had dulled them, but these fangs had lost their sharpness. The roots, tinged with dried blood, were now wrapped in a thin layer of yellow glaze, reflecting a warm hue in the sunlight. They still looked terrifying, but no longer inspired fear.

"This is a keepsake made from a tooth I pulled from the first werewolf head I chopped off! My uncle made it for me!" Xin Fat Man proudly showed his trophies to his classmates. "Look, this is its upper jaw fang. You can still vaguely see the natural rip symbol on the tip of the tooth - they’re born with this, the stronger the werewolf, the clearer the rip symbol on the fang."

With that, he generously took off the necklace and passed it around for his friends, winning him even more envious glances and exclamations of admiration.

"Is it okay for him to casually talk about killing werewolves here?" Zheng Qing nervously nudged Xiao Xiao.

"Even though they’re both called werewolves, the werewolves of the Under the Moon Council and the wild werewolves in the Dark Forest can be seen as two different species." Xiao Xiao hesitated while looking at those few fangs, also wanting to get his hands on them for a moment. After hearing Zheng Qing’s doubt, he explained, "It’s like a Witch Demon and a Wizard... Even though Witch Demons have clear consciousness and also belong to a type of Wizard, because they have fallen and demonized, Wizards hunting Witch Demons actually receive a reward."

Zheng Qing suddenly understood.

When he snapped back to reality, the atmosphere was even more heated.

Influenced by Zhang Ji Xin and Xin Fat Man, the others gradually started talking as well.

A few freshmen who had seen Nikita on the charter plane kept repeating the story, telling anyone willing to listen to their story about the Witch’s graceful figure, her tempting voice, and her mysterious magic.

The always steady and mature class president Tang Dun discussed twelve formations of a hunting team with a few boys in a serious tone, analyzing the responsibilities and positions of different members of the hunting team;

Even Matthew Karen, who was always cold and aloof, casually mentioned his experiences with Sir Friedman during the winter hunt in Baddminton last year.

Zheng Qing couldn’t understand the various unfamiliar terms and the fervent atmosphere of the crowd.

Having already faced two demons, he didn’t want to see those crimson eyes for the third time no matter what.

So he deliberately ignored the exaggerated remarks around him.

Instead, he starts discussing another issue with Xiao Xiao.

"I’ve been feeling something wrong since just now..." Zheng Qing was recalling the class arrangement in the practical class, scratching his head in confusion, and suddenly understanding, he said, "I remember you saying that Alpha Academy doesn’t separate classes, right?"

Although he used uncertain vocabulary, Zheng Qing’s tone was very affirmative.

He clearly remembered discussing this issue with Xiao Xiao and Lin Guo not long ago. Lin Guo also assured him that the teaching system of Alpha Academy was different from Jiuyou Academy, and students just needed to earn enough credits in their respective majors to graduate. There was no compulsory arrangement for tutors or major classes.

"Correct." Xiao Xiao nodded without hesitation, affirming Zheng Qing’s statement.

"Then who’s trying to fool me." Zheng Qing glanced at the freshmen in white robes across him, pointing out the huge contradiction in front of him: "Aren’t the ones opposite us Alchemy 08-1 Class from Alpha Academy?"

"That’s just a class formed temporarily by the school for statistical convenience." Xiao Xiao explained quickly, "Do you remember what Lin Guo’s major is?"

"Alchemy." Zheng Qing had a deep impression of that twelve-year-old boy.

"Right. If those opposite us are from Alpha’s Alchemy Class, why isn’t Lin Guo there?"

Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly, feeling that this was somewhat reasonable.

"So as to consolidate teaching arrangements and conveniences, the school will randomly form a class from Alpha students who chose Assistant Hilda and give it a name in the system."

"So there really isn’t an Alchemy 08-1 Class, right?" Zheng Qing nodded, then asked, "What’s this about choosing teachers? Are we allowed to choose courses in our first year? I thought we have to wait until next semester."

"I’ve told you, it’s Alpha Academy." Xiao Xiao shook his head impatiently, indicating for him to be quiet, "Lower your voice, listen to what the people around are saying... Even though most of it is exaggeration, you can learn something more or less."

Zheng Qing shrugged, unconvinced.
