Chapter 476: Chapter 145 Hidden Undercurrents in the Introduction_1

Zhang Ji Xin did have a brother in the First School, which was nothing fresh to the Absolution hunting team members. Simply because they had not considered other complications, Zheng Qing had instinctively disregarded this matter.

However, when Hoffman mentioned the competition relationship, the young scholar was struck emotionally, inevitably bringing up another matter.

There were rumors in the school, stating that Lei Zhe of the ’Holy Will’ would retire after this academic year, and Zhang Uncle Zhi, Hoffman, and Zhao Qiao, who are hailed as the ’Three Heroes of the Will’, are strong contenders for the next ’Lei Zhe’.

Zhang Uncle Zhi was in the school hunting team, Hoffman was in the judgement hunting team, and Zhao Qiao was in the Jiuyou Academy hunting team. The three of them were equally capable, making the future competition results more confusing.

It can be sure that this school hunting convention is an excellent opportunity for the three competitors. The better they perform, the more easily they will gain the support of professors and ordinary students. Although only having these might not be enough to take on the position of ’Lei Zhe’, without these it’s definitely impossible to take on this important task.

At this critical moment, when an immediate family member of a competitor observes the training of the Judgment hunting team from a close distance, it’s hard to not stir up some conjectures.

Upon this thought, Zheng Qing’s complexion gradually turned sour.

Not only him, the other members of Absolution hunting team seemed to also gradually figure out the ins and outs of this matter, one by one falling into silence. Even Zhang Ji Xin himself, always straightforward, was sensitive enough to perceive the glutinous atmosphere and furrowed his brows.

Hoffman didn’t pay attention to the expressions of these young wizards, but casually mentioned, "Your brother is also in the school hunting team, I thought you would seek his help for some basic training..."

"The school hunting team is conducting closed training." Zhang Ji Xin bluntly replied, with no intention of elaborating further.

Noticing the strained atmosphere, Zheng Qing hurriedly laughed and continued to introduce the next member of the hunting team: "This guy with glasses is our Right Aide, his name is Xiao Xiao, nicknamed Doctor, he knows everything..."

Hoffman smiled slightly, his slender eyes almost narrowed into a slit, without continuing the conversation about Zhang Ji Xin.

This eased many people’s minds.

"Ah, Doctor Xiao... I expect very few people in the academy don’t know this moniker of his." he turns to Xiao Xiao, a mocking grin on his face: "After all, not everyone dares to declare one’s love to a teacher in class few days after entering the school. "

His remark received bursts of laughter on the hill. Even Zhang Ji Xin couldn’t help smirking .

Xiao Xiao then adjusted his glasses, explaining earnestly, "This has nothing to do with courage... It’s just a matter of execution. Once goals are established, aim at them...any resistance implies just excuses."

"Execution power..." Hoffman mumbled the word, nodding repeatedly with admiration: "Terrific thought... Truly worthy of the title Doctor."

"I always feel like the captain has understood something terrible." Deng Xiaojian smacks his head, lamenting.

His conspicuous complaint immediately became a target of reproach in the sight of another hunter of the Judgment hunting team.

"Captain, he neglects his work and is full of complaints...would you want him to copy a hundred spells or prepare a hundred magic power recovery potions!" Qi Qinglan’s spirit was roused, loudly making her point.

The young scholar was left dumbfounded.

Hoffman did not care about the jesters from his hunting team, but turned towards Xin Fat Man.

"This, I assume, is the Left Auxiliary of your Hunting Team right?" His statement, though posed as a question, sounded extremely affirming.

Before Zheng Qing could comprehend, Xin Fat Man with a protruding belly approached.

"It is me indeed." The fat man seemed to conjure a small notebook and a green feather pen from his pocket at some point. His face stacked with smiles and the voice carried enthusiasm: "Commander Hoffman’s fame has spread all over the First University... Receiving guidance from the Judgment hunting team is a great honour for all the members of Absolution!"

"Progress together, progress together," Hoffman looked at the green feather pen and seemed to anticipate some terrible matter. His face instantly changed. He brushed off the praise, saying repeatedly, "This is a matter of mutual progress, no need to be so polite, ha..."

"Commander Hoffman, do you have any view on the final result of the ’Hunting Convention’ at the opening ceremony of the school hunting convention?" Xin Fat Man persisted in his questioning. The feather pen glided swiftly on the notebook accompanying his query: "Some people assert that you were subjected to unknown pressure from outside the Hunting Ground and were forced to hand over the fruit of victory. What is your view on this opinion?"

"Absolutely no such thing... The school is very fair and the ability of the school hunting team is there for all to see... Everyone’s performance was splendid, absolutely splendid." Hoffman expressed his stance clearly but refused to spill a word more.

While speaking, he had already silently moved a few steps to the side, tugging Deng Xiaojian before him as a shield against Xin Fat Man.

"So, how do you view the Tricksters in North District of Beta Town?" Xin Fat Man almost saw Hoffman leaving, he felt anxious and jumped up shouting, "Even though the "Wizard’s Code" has confirmed the wizard status of Tricksters, their circumstance has not been noticeably improved... what is your thought on this?"

As though not hearing the question, Hoffman turned around, looking towards the last member of Absolution hunting team.

"Are you a journalist?" Deng Xiaojian grabbed the fat man trying to jostle through him. His eyebrows raised suspiciously, turning back to Zheng Qing: "Your hunting team accepts all kinds of people, huh..."

Zheng Qing let out a dry laugh without speaking, but jogged a few steps to get between Hoffman and Dylan.

"So What if I’m a journalist? Did a journalist eat your meat?" Hearing Deng Xiaojian’s suspicion, Xin Fat Man immediately mumbled, whispering his protest.

"No, no, no, we don’t have any meat at home to feed you." Deng Xiaojian laughed, "It’s just that you guys seem to enjoy amplifying matters... Which does not align with our hunting team’s low-key habit..."

Before Xin Fat Man could react, Deng Xiaojian raised his hand motioning him to hush.

Because not too far off, Zheng Qing was introducing the last member of the Absolution hunting team in the field to Hoffman.

"Finally this one... this is our Hunter, Dylan O’Brien Tabbot, originally from Starry Sky Academy." Zheng Qing continued, "He has extensive hunting experience, as good as Brother Xin... He is also very nimble, perfectly suited for scouting tasks."

"Our hunting team also has another scout, named Blue Bird, he’s also a person from Starry Sky Academy, but since he has a match today, he couldn’t participate... Speaking of which, both scouts in our hunting team are from Starry Sky Academy, haha..."

"Dylan O’Brien Tabbot?" Hoffman mumbled, repeating Dylan’s name.
