Chapter 25: The Hunting Season
"Daphany, you're going to have no friends if you play like this!" A seventh-grade Ilvermoni student who had just been released from her coma curse said helplessly to Daphne.
Unlike Hogwarts, Ilvermorny has a dedicated combat class. Moreover, the practical classes are not divided into grades. Students of any grade can come to class as long as the time does not conflict. The professors of the practical classes analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the students after the actual practice, so that everyone can learn.
Daphany is obsessed with this kind of course! In addition, she has no pressure to go on to higher education, so she can choose any course she wants. Therefore, except for spells, potions, and ancient runes, when other courses conflict with the actual combat class, they all choose to take the actual combat class. The same is true today!
It's been almost a month since Daphany and Hermione arrived in Ilvermorny, and Daphany is already very familiar with many of the older students who are also obsessed with practical classes!
Just like in the Dueling Club at Hogwarts. When it came to Ilvermorny, no matter whether it was fifth grade or sixth grade or seventh grade, when she faced Daphany one-on-one, she was abused in a fancy way!
After watching several of Daphine's duels, Professor Fontana, their head of the Combat Department, felt that Daphine possessed abilities that most adult wizards could not match.
"You were so careless!" Daphany grinned, completely unconcerned about the other party's complaints: "My mirror shadow spell actually has a lot of flaws, at least there is no shadow that can always be found!" ”
"Daphany is right!" Today's person in charge of guidance happens to be Professor Fontana, the director of the actual combat department, and he naturally sees the problem from the students at home: "Nakajima, you need a broader vision!" After all, the preparation of magic takes time. If a magic is done useless, it will fall into a huge disadvantage! When the situation is unclear, it is actually a good way to defend! ”
The boy named Nakajima nodded. At this time, the bell rang for the end of class.
"Alright, that's it for this lesson!" Professor Fontana said with a smile, then looked at Daphine, "How is it, Daphine, do you want to continue in the next class?" There's another section to follow! ”
"No!" Daphany shook her head, "The next class is like Niven!" ”
Fontana nodded, and Daphine's dedication to certain subjects had already been discovered by the Academy.
Meng Yuchen also took the ancient runi language, and the two met again in the classroom.
"How's it going, bullying people again?" Seeing Daphine, Meng Yuchen asked with a smile.
"What are you talking about, it's just a competition with the seniors!" Daphany denied it with a serious face.
"By the way, are you going to go hunting? It's hunting season next month! Meng Yuchen suddenly asked.
"Hunting season?" Daphany looked confused, completely unaware of what Meng Yuchen was talking about.
"Don't you know?" Meng Yuchen looked surprised: "You've been here for almost a month, didn't anyone tell you?" ”
"Hurry up or shut up!" Dafanie is very annoyed by Meng Yuchen's little problem, and likes to sell Guanzi.
"Say it!" Meng Yuchen is the kind of person who can't hide his words at all, and it's harder for you not to let her say it than for her not to breathe: "Ilvermoni and Castrobusche (the South American School of Magic in Brazil, one of the eleven top magic schools) have this tradition. The difference is that half of us go to the boreal forests of northern Canada, while Castrobusche goes to the Amazon rainforest. ”
"You say that, I still don't know what hunting season you are talking about." Daphany said, rolling her eyes.
"At its simplest, it's about hunting a magical creature! Castrobusche is a forest anale and we are a moose! Meng Yuchen said.
"We're going to hunt cakes?" Daphany looked confused: "I can still understand that people are hunting forest worms in Castrobusche, what the hell are we going to hunt cakes?" ”
"It's not mousse, it's mousse!" Meng Yuchen reluctantly used his wand to draw two different words in the air.
Daphany was still confused, completely unaware of what a mousse moose was.
"It's a deer!" Meng Yuchen looked at Daphany's expression and knew that Daphany didn't know what Mousse was. I had to change it to Chinese to explain. It's also thanks to Devhanie that Chinese is no worse than English~
Daphany instantly made up for Bambi's appearance, and looked at Meng Yuchen with a strange expression. There was a reproachful expression in his eyes, why did the fawn be cute and hunt them? starting point
Meng Yuchen's ability to interpret expressions is very strong. Seeing Daphany's doubts. I had to use a wand on parchment to draw a projection of the mousse.
Daphany glanced at the parchment, and her expression suddenly became a little wooden.
Is this a deer?
What Meng Yuchen drew on the parchment was a giant deer that was so rough that it exploded! In order to reflect its size, Meng Yuchen also added references - an adult man and a brown bear. Both humans and brown bears looked short and thin in front of the giant deer.
The shoulder height of this behemoth is two meters and three miles away, and even the relatively tall European and American races are a lot more than it! The body length is two meters and a half away! What a behemoth.
"This thing ......" Dafanie's face was a little wooden, and she couldn't accept it completely: "This is a deer?" "Yes, this thing completely subverts all of Daphne's perceptions of deer. But......
"Is this mousse moose a magical creature?" Daphany asked with some suspicion, "Also, so is Lin Yu." Although the forest snake is a terrifying creature that is difficult to deal with for ordinary people. But for magicians, it's not that difficult to deal with, is it? ”
"That's right!" Meng Yuchen nodded: "Although Mousse is a nasty creature that the residents of northern America and Canada hate. However, it is not difficult for wizards to deal with. It's the same with the forest python. But what we have to deal with is not ordinary forest worms and mousses! It's the demonized population in it! ”
"Demonization......" this Daphany knows. Some ordinary animals will give birth to demonic individuals, the most widely known is the so-called Five Great Immortals in Northeast China.
In addition, cats and crows are also very susceptible to demonic nature. However, it is a large mammal, and demonized individuals are relatively rare, but they don't know what the situation of this mousse moose is.
"Yes, although animal demonization is generally small animals. However, Lin Yu and Mousse are exceptions. Both of these creatures are very susceptible to demonized individuals! The demonic entity of the forest snake is half human and half snake, which at first glance looks a bit like Medusa. But bigger! And Mousse's demonic entity resembles a giant deer-headed man. These two creatures are very aggressive and will attack No-Majs and wizards! ”
"But although these demonized creatures have demonic nature, they are not real monsters. Their body parts are worthless! Plus with a certain amount of combat power, no magician wants to hunt them! Meng Yuchen continued, "So we have an agreement with Castrobusher and the local magic department. Hunting takes place every year in a specific season. ”
"Oooh! It's kind of interesting! Daphany had a clue, "It's also a matter of eliminating harm for the people!" ”
"That's it!" Meng Yuchen nodded again and again: "Students above the fourth grade can form groups to participate in hunting." However, fourth-grade students must be in groups of five or more. Grades 5 and 6 only require teams of two or more. Each pair of Demonic Mousse antlers can allow a student to end the school year with full honors! If you are a fifth-year student, you can also get two courses: Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts. O results of the L exam! If four, five, or six have won mousse antlers for three consecutive years, the seventh-grade one. Exams, Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts will also be a considerable plus! ”
"It's kind of interesting, but it's a pity that Hogwarts doesn't have such a clause. Otherwise, it will be worry-free! Daphany said with a smile.
"Don't think it's easy!" Seeing Daphne's indifferent look, Meng Yuchen reminded: "Whether it's the Demonized Forest Snake or the Demonized Mousse, they are both very powerful!" Although most of the students are in groups of five or more, every year a large number of students are unable to complete the hunt, and there are even cases where they are killed in order to hunt! ”
"Murderers are always killed! If you want to go to the wild to hunt monsters, you naturally have to have the consciousness of being killed! Daphany said disapprerovingly. But at the same time, I was a little curious: "It's so dangerous, are there more people participating in this hunting season?" ”
"That's a lot, of course it's a lot!" Meng Yuchen said as a matter of course: "The hunting season is only one month in October!" You don't have to miss many classes! If you really succeed in hunting a mousse, this school year will be hilarious! ”
"I am even more envious when you say that!" Daphany is also greedy. Though. She didn't care about the extra points in the two subjects of the L exam - she was confident that she could have gotten an O grade in these two subjects. But the school year's grades are all excellent, but it's amazing.
"How's it going, are you interested in having fun?" Meng Yuchen said with a seductive expression: "It can be regarded as a unique experience of Ilvermoni!" ”
"Go back and ask Hermione what she means!" Daphany didn't say anything: "Let's go to class first!" At this moment, Professor Runevin of Ilvermoni also walked in, and the two of them concentrated on the lesson.
At dinner, Daphany, Meng Yuchen, and Hermione sat together in the cafeteria.
Hearing about the hunting season, Hermione said she wasn't interested.
"I'm here to learn from the professors here!" Hermione said of course, "I don't need that school year and . . . Extra points for the L exam! ”
But after thinking about it, Hermione said, "But Daphany wants to go, I think I can go and see it." Anyway, you don't do well in school, every day is a practical class. In this case, it is better to simply go to the field to practice! ”
Daphany thought for a moment, and it seemed, as if, that was indeed the case.
