Chapter 705: Chapter 53 After the Meeting_1

The Forbidden Curse is both a familiar and an unfamiliar term.

It’s familiar because anyone with slight knowledge about the modern history of wizards will have heard about this term, and heard about its terrifying and unsolvable power. They would have heard that this spell has prevented a new world war from breaking out between wizards and demons. According to Zheng Qing, Forbidden Curse can be considered as the ’nuclear weapon’ of the wizard’s world, maintaining a terrifying balance in this world full of adversity.

It is unfamiliar because most wizards’ understanding of the Forbidden Curse is limited to ’hearing.’ Even the young wizards studying at the world’s foremost university of magic only derive a faint impression of the power of this spell from the professors’ lectures. There are hardly any detailed information about the Forbidden Curse in most public facilities such as the school’s library and laboratories.

People only know that this magic was born out of theories of Dimensionism, applying many principles of dimensional convergence. More detailed aspects of where to start, how to converge, how to control the massive energy generated during the birth of the spell, remain elusive.

Despite this, The Alliance of Wizards spares no effort in controlling foundational researches related to the Forbidden Curse; any unauthorized experiments will be severely punished. The young scholarship student still clearly remembers the news on the first wizard newspaper he saw when he met Thomas before school started. It was about Dark Blue Castle being punished for its experiment on dimensional oscillation.

That piece of news has left a deep impression on him.

Being one of the three major parts of the Alliance of Wizards, Under the Moon Parliament has long been seeking the ability to master the Forbidden Curse. But till now, they have not been able to master any Forbidden Curse. They have not even hidden their desire for the curse, capturing any information about the Forbidden Curse throughout the wizard’s world.

Zheng Qing was certain that, if Under the Moon Parliament knew that he had some traces of the Forbidden Curse on him, within a week he would be stunned and tied up by Matthew, or Friedman, or Andrew, or any other little cubs of Under the Moon Parliament at the main university, and sent to some sunless blockhouse.

The mere thought of it sent shivers down his spine.

"You’re joking, aren’t you?" the young scholarship student dropped his face in despair, giving Dean Yao - who was sitting behind the lecture desk - a twisted look. He felt as if the troubles just fell out of the sky.

"Maybe..." laughed Professor Yao squinted at Zheng Qing, put the pipe back into his mouth, and gave a vague answer: "I just mentioned that it’s just my guess... Don’t worry, no one else would know."

As he spoke, he waved to the young wizard and showed him the smoke barrier surrounding them. This gesture somewhat eased the worries of Zheng Qing.

"I’d rather not know myself." Zheng Qing grumbled, sighing heavily.

Old Yao expelled the heavy smoke, sucked it back into his abdomen, and repeated several cycles before squinting and saying, "Anyway, I’ve just known about your abnormal transformation. Even though I’ve just proposed an interesting explanation, that’s just a wild guess, not a number..."

"This wild guess isn’t interesting at all." The young scholarship student lowered his eyelids, murming resentedly. He stared at his nose, concentrating his attention to catch every word the professor said.

"...Before class tomorrow, package the residual potion and the intact potion of your last transformation, and hand in a report about the usage process. Later, I will find some professors of pharmacology to help you see if there’s anything abnormal."

Zheng Qing nodded and agreed.

Today is Sunday and tomorrow Monday is Old Yao’s curse class in the morning. This means that after the class council meeting today, Zheng Qing had to rush back to dormitory to finish a simple report. Although Old Yao didn’t specify the word limit or content, he must take it seriously because it concerns his own health and safety.

"Anyway, the school will give you a satisfactory answer. The time is almost up, let’s have our council meeting first." Old Yao said as he took out a silver pocket watch from his pocket, glancing at the time, and waved dismissively to scatter the smoky barrier around. Before Zheng Qing could respond, Old Yao added, "Oh, and, you didn’t declare your usage of the transformation potion with Professor Yi... Remember to resubmit the related documents afterward. Don’t forget."

Zheng Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth and ambled back to his seat under the questioning gaze of the audience.

...

...

After stepping down from the podium, Zheng Qing had been in a daze.

He didn’t listen to Old Yao grading their learning progress in the past week, didn’t listen to the monitors announcing the mid-term exam results, and didn’t even notice when the class council meeting ended.

The words ’Forbidden Curse’, ’Forbidden Curse’, and ’Forbidden Curse’ kept swirling in his head.

Just the thought of his involvement with such terrifying thing to some degree gives Zheng Qing the creeps. Even without considering certain ’evil forces’ in the wizard’s world, the terrible power of the Forbidden Curse alone makes him worry about being exploded into pieces one day. Luckily, so far this involvement is only based on Professor Yao’s speculation.

Even so, it nevertheless scared the young scholarship student to a great extent.

Xiao Xiao, who was sitting beside him, obviously noticed Zheng Qing’s abnormal behavior but wisely chose to ignore it. It was not until the end of the class council meeting, when the classmates started leaving the classroom one after another, but Zheng Qing was still in some daze, Doctor Xiao could not bear it and interrupted the young wizard’s obsession.

"Until what do you plan to keep zoning out?" Xiao Xiao hit Zheng Qing’s back twice heavily with his thick notebook, raising his voice a little: "Do you still remember what you have to do?"

"What is it, write a report?" Zheng Qing looked up blankly, giving Xiao Xiao a glance.

’Forbidden Curse’ and ’abnormal transformation accident’ occupied all of his mind, he completely couldn’t comprehend Doctor Xiao’s hint.

Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes, showing an ’as-expected’ expression.

"You can write a report anytime, but if you miss some people now, you can only see them tomorrow." He glanced with meaning at the front row of the classroom, and stressed: "You mentioned it bit yourself, that you want to find some people to discuss some things... Have you forgotten?"

Zheng Qing looked ahead following Xiao Xiao’s gaze and saw Jiang Yu scolding Li Meng, he suddenly realized.

"Oh! I almost forgot about it!" The young scholarship student jumped up from his seat, didn’t even forget to give Doctor Xiao a thumbs up: "Thank you, Doctor! I’ll treat you a bun next time!"
