High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 805: Chapter 153 She Definitely Has Some Kind of Scheme

The entire Curse Course was spent not with the Professor teaching any new spell formulas, but rather leading the students in a start-to-finish review of the keywords and knowledge points they’d learned over the past half year.

Because the content was previously covered, he spoke very quickly, often spending only about five minutes on each knowledge point. Even so, when it was time for class to end, he had still not finished.

Thus, Professor Yao ran over the allotted class time.

For Zheng Qing, this was a long-lost feeling—he hadn’t experienced a class running late like this since graduating from high school—but for many of his other classmates, staying late wasn’t such a wonderful experience.

For example, Li Meng, the little witch sitting in the first row of the classroom, began to frequently turn her head to look towards the back after the bell rang, as if she were searching for something.

Perhaps noticing everyone’s waning focus, Professor Yao added another ”highly likely to be on the test” knowledge point on the blackboard and then, with a sense of unfinished business, closed his lecture notes.

”We’ll stop the review here for today... There’s a little tail left, which we can finish in half an hour next class,” he said, pulling out his pipe from his pocket once again, biting down on it, and glaring around the classroom with those pitch-black little eyes, pausing particularly on the top of Li Meng’s head.

The little witch finally gave up turning around and sat still in her seat.

A satisfied smirk pulled at the corners of the Professor’s mouth, his pipe bobbing interestingly at the side of his mouth.

”I need to remind some of you. True magical knowledge is not something you can truly grasp just because I review with you for a few classes or you cram a few nights before an exam... As our school motto says, ’There is a way up the mountain of books, an endless sea of learning.’

”You can truly grasp it only if you study diligently.”

”Of course, I’m not asking you to memorize the entire ’Standard Spells’,” he said, waving his lecture notes backward, encompassing the entire blackboard, ”but if you memorize the knowledge points I’ve listed on the board today, you should have no problem with the final exams.”

”I hope you will cherish the precious time in these last few weeks.”

With that, Professor Yao tucked the already folded folder under his arm, pressed down on his pipe towards everyone, and turned to stride out of the classroom. Behind him, several Sprites hurried after him, carrying a large cloak.

Zheng Qing didn’t continue to pay attention to what happened to the cloak and Sprites after that.

Because just as Professor Yao’s figure had disappeared at the doorway, Li Meng, who had been sitting in the front row, dropped her textbook and dashed to the back corner of the classroom, appearing in front of Zheng Qing and his group.

”You, you, and you.” The little witch placed one hand on her hip, extended the other arm, and pointed one by one in front of several young warlocks’ noses, then slammed her hand down hard on the desk: ”Do you guys have time this Friday afternoon?”

The loud smack of her palm against the desktop startled the young scholarship student who was packing up his notes—this wasn’t because he was faint-hearted; in fact, several other nearby students were also startled. But clearly, the others didn’t want to provoke this young lady, showing no intention of helping out, and instead quietly slipped away after collecting their things.

Only leaving Zheng Qing and a few others sitting there dumbly.

”Are you talking to us?” Zheng Qing pointed to his own nose, then waved his finger across Xiao Xiao, Xin Fat Man, and Zhang Ji Xin, cautiously asking.

”Duh!” Li Meng rolled her eyes in contempt and gave the warlock a dismissive look: ”And you’re a scholarship student, yet so slow on the uptake!”

Zheng Qing tugged the corner of his mouth, not wanting to argue with her, and instead mulled over his excuses, planning to busy himself with a pile of tasks—based on the little witch’s tone just now, he felt that if he directly answered ’I’m busy on Friday’, he’d get whacked.

Yes, it was better to be tactful.

After all, we need to take care of the mental health of minors.

But before he could figure out how to phrase it, the other two guys had sold themselves out.

”Friday? Got time! Lots of time!” Zhang Ji Xin, upon hearing Li Meng’s question, slapped his chest unambiguously and emphasized, ”You want us to have time, we’ll have it!”

”Exactly, if Meng Meng wants us not to have time, then we won’t have time... Our time is your time!” Xin Fat Man also approached with a flattering smile on his face.

”Ew! Two creepy uncles!” The Little Witch made a face of disgust and tilted her head to one side as if trying to pour out what she had just heard from her ears, causing Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao to nod repeatedly in agreement.

”Next time someone speaks to you in that tone, smack a bunch of bursting amulets on his face, and you can’t go wrong,” Xiao Xiao first gave the Little Witch a sound piece of advice, then turned his head, looking at the chubby guy and Zhang Ji Xin:

”You guys have plenty of time on Friday? Remember what we have to do on Saturday?”

”The D&K is opening this Saturday! Both of your monthly living expenses have been invested in it! If the opening fails, you won’t even have the northwest wind to drink! Given this, do you think we’ll all be idle on Friday night?”

As he spoke, Doctor Xiao seemed to remember something, glanced at Li Meng, and then at the Red-faced Male Wizard and Fat Man, as if in thought, and finally added in a slightly softer tone, ”I just want to emphasize that your time is not only your own, or Li Meng’s, but also the Absolution Hunting Team’s... Don’t neglect this point.”

”Besides, I need to remind you that some of your ideas are against public decency and wizard laws.”

”Right, right, right, I wanted to say that too,” the young cost student joined in with a sleazy smile, pretending to be earnest, ”Having trouble walking away when you see a little girl, I tell you, that’s where you make mistakes...”

Before he could finish speaking, his leg was met with a hard kick from Li Meng, as well as angry glares from the other two warlocks.

The footprints of the little red shoes were clearly imprinted on the cost student’s red robe, strikingly conspicuous.

”I—am—a—college—student!” Li Meng gritted her teeth and glared at the cost student, enunciating each word deliberately.

”No problem!” Zheng Qing promptly raised his hands, following his heart’s desire, and took a firm step back.

”Hoo...”

”Sigh...”

”Hoo...”

The Little Witch took several deep breaths, her lips moving slightly as if she were murmuring something. Without thinking, Zheng Qing’s hand reached into the Grey Cloth Bag and felt the Black Donkey’s Hoof—if the Little Witch cast some nasty little curse on him, at least with the amulet, he wouldn’t die too horribly.

Luckily, it seemed that the Little Witch was just calming her own anger.

Soon, she lifted her head and looked at the young warlocks again, pulling a stiff smile on her face: ”Hmm, good, as long as you have time...”

”She must be planning something!”

Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao exchanged glances, the same thought spontaneously emerging in their minds.
