High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 883: Chapter 231: A Big Wave of Problems is On the Way

”The kingdom is dead!”

The veteran in the blue gown rolled up his sleeves, staring intently at the scene on the screen, his eyes shining brightly, ”This is true romance for men! ... No matter how many pieces you end up in, I acknowledge you! ... You truly deserve to be the first-place winner of the hunting contest! You truly deserve the Merlin Medal, man!”

No one paid attention to the rantings of this barbarian from Starry Sky Academy.

From the moment they determined the nature of the talismans and the explosive effects of that large stack, the veteran in charge of the observation room at Jiuyou Academy had sounded the highest alarm.

Meanwhile, other wizards had already begun frantically sending messages to different departments and chiefs, striving to struggle one more time before the huge explosion awakened Buji Island. If not for the room’s observation being heavily restricted by magic, some of the more impatient folks might have already opened a flicker or torn off an escape talisman and rushed out of the house, screaming for help.

Yet even amidst this chaos, everyone in the room could still hear the piercing voice coming from the speaker flowers hanging in the corner of the ceiling:

”Alarm! Alarm!”

”Yellow alarm!”

”Orange alarm!”

”Red alarm!!!”

”First University winter hunt in area D Alpha is experiencing an anomaly!”

”First University winter hunt in area D Alpha is experiencing an anomaly!”

”Magic scan, anomaly initially confirmed!”

”Manual re-check, anomaly confirmed again!”

”Highly lethal explosive device found at the scene!”

”Highly lethal explosive device found at the scene!!”

”Please evacuate the nearby hunting areas C Alpha, C Subclass, D Subclass, E Subclass, and E Alpha immediately; please dispatch an emergency accident response team to the scene to investigate the source of danger!”

...

...

While the observation room outside the First University’s winter hunting grounds was thrown into utter disarray by Zheng Qing’s actions, the person responsible for the incident remained completely unaware, leisurely chatting with Fei Rui.

The young public-funded student, after hearing Fei Rui’s evaluation of his recently built ’amplification formation,’ did not panic.

”So many mistakes?” The warlock looked somewhat disappointed — but that was all — he shook his head lightly, sighed softly, ”I thought there would only be one or two mistakes ... indeed, I still need to study this more.”

”Since you still have to learn, we won’t disturb you then!” Upon hearing Zheng Qing’s words, Fei Rui immediately propped himself up on the small round ears of the White Weasel, stood up from the Weasel’s head, and waved his short front legs, seemingly intending to wave goodbye.

However, this action immediately caused the explosion charm overhead to flicker swiftly and faintly several times.

Fei Rui immediately sat back down.

”Although I liked the idea of studying more, learning is not something that happens overnight.” Zheng Qing’s eyelids drooped as he curled his lip, ”Compared to such distant plans, the pressing matter is to clear up some historical issues... for example, who are you? Where do you come from? What do you want to do?”

”Tch, such a hassle.” Fei Rui, looking somewhat troubled, stroked his short beard and glanced at the young scholarship student, ”Questions that even Plato couldn’t figure out his whole life, and now you’re asking me... do you think I’m better than Plato? You know, that old guy isn’t much different from the president of First University...”

Zheng Qing stared at him expressionlessly, not saying a word, just letting the explosion charms above his head flicker even more urgently.

A irritated expression squeezed onto Fei Rui’s chubby face, ”You should know that those explosion charms won’t kill me... Since you know that, what’s the point of putting on this useless posture? I must tell you, although I have eaten your rat food for over a decade, that doesn’t mean I will tolerate your disrespect...”

”Whether it kills or not, we always have to try it to find out.” The young scholarship student’s attitude didn’t waver, yet a cordial smile appeared on his face.

As he spoke, he removed the sunglasses he had always worn on his face, revealing his blood-red pupils, and slowly leaned his head forward, ”As for the issue of respect or disrespect, you should know very well.”

Fei Rui’s mouth was tightly closed, his chubby face stiffened, and he said nothing.

Underneath him, the White Weasel, which had been sitting quietly in the snow, began nervously flicking its tail and subconsciously digging in the snow with its paws, perhaps startled by Zheng Qing’s red eyes.

Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows, ”Hmm, indeed, the effect of red eyes is quite good... It indeed feels more oppressive.”

”You can only scare these little creatures.” Fei Rui locked his gaze onto Zheng Qing’s red eyes, his expression somewhat suspicious, but his mouth refused to concede, loudly mocking, ”I haven’t seen you for a few days, and your character has regressed quite a bit.”

”If it can intimidate the little ones, that’s enough... You were never really much of a big deal anyway.” Zheng Qing pulled at the corner of his mouth, leaning his neck sideways, rolling his shoulders to relax the muscles around his neck and shoulders, which had long been stiff.

Before even completing two rotations, the fat mouse leaning on the White Weasel’s ears stood up again.

”Alright, alright... I can only tell you what I know.” Its chubby face piled up reluctantly, and its tone grew increasingly surly, ”You are not living in ’Truman’s World’.”

Despite Fei Rui’s grating voice and unusually poor attitude, these external factors could not prevent Zheng Qing’s mood from brightening significantly.

A genuine, wide smile spread across his face—a stark contrast to the fake ones he had forced before.

”So, who are you?”

”Where do you come from?”

”What exactly do you want to do in my house?”

”Do you know Mr. Wu?”

”Do you know about San You Bookstore? Are you aware that the Yellow Flowered Cat inside can talk? Have you ever been to Hui Zi Ji? Do you know the Old Mr. Deng who runs the pharmacy in Hui Collation?”

The young scholarship student eagerly threw a barrage of questions, leaving the fat mouse in front of him dizzy.

Behind him, Xiao Xiao, who had been silently watching, spread a thick black notebook on his knees, holding a brush in his hand and scribbling furiously as Zheng Qing and Fei Rui conversed. However, when the young scholarship student mentioned ”San You Bookstore” and ”Hui Zi Ji,” his hand paused slightly, but he did not interrupt Zheng Qing’s questions.

”Oh, oh! Too many... Your questions are too many!”

Fei Rui, standing on the head of the White Weasel, seemed to have been frightened by the barrage of questions thrown by the young scholarship student and instinctively stepped back, shaking his head frantically, ”I just said... I can only tell you what I know!”

”Then start with what you do know!” Zheng Qing pressed on relentlessly, leaning forward slightly, his gaze steadfast on the fat mouse, ”We have plenty of time!”
