Since meeting Sir Friedman last night, Matthew Cullen has been unable to sleep all night, tossing and turning.

Not only because of the importance that Jazz places on him, but also because of the task given to him by Jazz: to assemble a freshman hunting team, participate in the freshman hunt of the school hunting party, and then come out on top - no matter what, to suppress the limelight of Seprano.

It's not the first time Matthew has participated in a hunt.

When he was at Cullen Castle, whether it was the annual spring and autumn hunt in Bad Mington, or the friendship invitation between other noble young wizards under the moon, Matthew had participated in dozens of big hunting parties since he was a child.

But this time is clearly different.

As a captain, he will lead a hunting team to participate in a grand hunting event that is famous throughout the wizarding world - although he is only participating in a spin-off of the House Cup, it is ultimately a regular tournament within the schedule.

The only thing that worries the young vampire is that his hunting party has not yet been assembled.

A complete hunting team, consisting of a main hunter, two auxiliary hunters, a hunter, and a ranger, for a total of five full members. For more regular hunting teams, there will also be a few backup hunters to replace the less in-form team members between different schedules.

And Matthew's hunting team, not to mention the alternate seats, he hasn't even assembled the official five hunters yet.

Of course, it's not that finding a freshman who wants to join his hunting team will be difficult. Matthew never worried about that. He believed that as long as he opened his mouth, the young wizard who wanted to befriend the Karen family would definitely be like a cross-border wizard.

Matthew was just looking for someone who could match the current team and make the Jazz happy.

For example, Jiang Yu in the class, or Downton.

Whether in terms of family background or ability, these two people are superior candidates.

However, when he communicated with the first candidate, he found some signs that were not quite good.

"Freshman Hunting?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing Matthew's invitation: "What, you also plan to participate in the Freshman Hunting Tournament?" ”

"Also?" Matthew was keenly aware of the unfinished words of Class Leader Jiang, and couldn't help asking, "Have you already joined other hunting teams?" Or is there anyone else who invited you?"

Before Jiang Yu could speak, Li Meng next to him spoke with an unhappy face.

"What do you mean, 'There are other people inviting you'!" the little witch parroted and snorted in a strange way, "My cousin is very powerful and talented...... A lot of headhunters came to her!"

Matthew looked at the grumpy little witch with a stunned expression, not knowing where he had offended her.

"Meng Meng!" Jiang Yu stretched out two green white fingers and pinched Li Meng's ears.

Li Meng pouted and glared at the vampire in front of him.

"I'm sorry," Jiang Yu smiled apologetically at Matthew, first apologized for Li Meng's faux pas, and then explained, "I didn't participate in any hunting team...... But I did have other people who came to me. ”

Matthew couldn't help but frown.

"Is it from our class?" he couldn't help but ask.

"It's our class...... Downton is also forming his own hunting team. Jiang Yu didn't sell it, but reminded: "If you plan to recruit people in our class, then the speed should be faster...... Maybe you can talk to Downton so you can stagger the same target candidates. ”

This advice is very pertinent.

It's just that the content is extremely disappointing to Matthew.

Because of what Jiang Yu revealed in this sentence, he clearly told the young vampire that his number two target candidate had also failed.

"As for myself......" Jiang Da squad leader smiled apologetically at Matthew: "I'm really embarrassed...... For some other reason, I won't consider attending this year's school hunt for the time being. ”

"My cousin has other important things to do!" Li Meng climbed Jiang Yu's arm and muttered quietly beside him.

Jiang Yu quietly tugged at the corner of the little witch's robe and motioned her to shut up.

Matthew eventually turned around and left disappointed.

Behind him, there was a whispered argument between two witches, one large and one small.

"Can't you just settle down a little?!" this was Jiang Yu's reprimand.

"It was he who was rude first......" Li Meng was obviously a little unconvinced.

"He is a nobleman under the moon, and he has been growing up in the castle of the Karen family, so it is inevitable that he will not understand the world...... Do you sleep in a coffin all day?"

Matthew's ears twitched, and he pretended not to hear the whispers of the two witches, and strode towards Downton.

I didn't sleep in a coffin all day!

Although the young vampire was a little sullen in his heart, he still tried to cheer up when he saw the tall figure not far away, and said hello with a smile.

"You're going to have to form a hunting team too. After listening to Matthew's words, Downton scratched his head and spread his hands, looking a little helpless: "It seems that this year's freshman hunting competition is a bit lively...... Hahahaha. ”

Downton's voice was so thick that it made Matthew's ears ring.

This, coupled with the vampire's unusually keen hearing, made him even more uncomfortable.

"I was going to invite you to be the main hunter in my hunting team...... "Matthew still refused to give up, and even gave up his own hunting position, hoping to entice Downton to change his mind.

But his efforts were still fruitless.

"If I hadn't formed my own hunting team, I would have agreed to your invitation. Downton very tactfully rejected him.

Not surprisingly.

Matthew sighed, his gaze involuntarily turning to the wizards sitting in the back row of the classroom.

Although Zheng Qing is the recipient of the Order of Merlin, there is some discord between him and Sir and it can be ruled out. The gaze of the young blood clan first slid over the young public-funded student.

Then he looked at a few other people.

A child of the Zhang family, a blue giant, and a special enrollment.

"If you're going to get a few of them, I advise you not to run into a wall. As if sensing Matthew's thoughts, Downton reminded beside him, "I've invited Zhang Jixin before...... It's just that he didn't agree. ”

Matthew turned his head and gave him a puzzled look.

"They also organized a hunting party. Downton shrugged and told Matthew the bad news: "If you're not mistaken, they're all in that hunting party." ”

"Are there any people in our class who haven't joined the hunting team?" Matthew's tone was a little frustrated, and his expression was a little annoyed.

When he promised Sir last night, he hadn't expected so much trouble today.

"If you're just looking for someone who fits more with the 'alpha trait,' you might want to ask a few transfer students. "Downton emphasised the words 'alpha' in particular.

Matthew felt a slight meaning in his gaze, nodded involuntarily, turned around and walked away awkwardly.
