"Cheer up!"

Lao Yao slapped the young public-funded student on the shoulder and said, "Cheer up." You know, this is the number one university, and you are my student. Don't spend all day thinking about what you don't have. Young people, lively, like an old man, without the vigor of young people!"

Zheng Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth and squeezed out a difficult smile.

That's true, but the heavy pressure wasn't alleviated by Lao Yao's encouragement - Zheng Qing felt like he was walking around the school with a nuclear bomb in his arms, and if he wasn't careful, he would blow himself to pieces.

"Of course, it can't be ruled out that your Transfiguration has mutated. The professor pondered for a moment, and then reassured the young wizard: "Magic, there will always be one kind or another of mutations in the process of development—as for the cause of mutation, there are all kinds of differences—in short, if it has been developed according to the regular causal connection, it is not called magic." ”

As he spoke, Lao Yao picked up a brown paper envelope from the lectern and stuffed it to Zheng Qing.

"Here are your Transfiguration notes, the medical examination report from the school hospital, and the monitoring report of the Transfiguration Potion...... Because the bottle needs to be opened for testing, the intact potion you handed in is gone. The school has issued you two new Transfiguration Potions, and the effect will definitely not be bad. ”

"However, if you want to use a Transfiguration Potion in the future, be sure to report it. In this way, the school's guardian formation can increase the level of protection against you, so that you will not be bitten by rats...... Especially now, the school is a mess, and if you don't report it, and after you are transformed, you are kicked into the lake by a wizard, then you will be unlucky. ”

Zheng Qing took the brown paper envelope, listened to Lao Yao's nagging, and couldn't help but shiver a few times when he thought of the cold water of Linzhong Lake this season, and the stinky fish people living in the lake.

"I know, I know. He nodded again and again.

"Hmm...... If nothing else, let's go for lunch. I think they've been waiting for you for a long time. Lao Yao put away the handouts, handed the teacup to the school worker elf floating aside, turned his head and told Zheng Qing again: "If there is anything abnormal after that magic, remember to tell me in time, or a few other professors." Also, don't forget to catch mice. ”

"When you become a cat, it should be easy to catch mice. ”

There is a bit of ridicule in the latter sentence.

It's also a way for professors to bridge the distance between them and their students. The young public student smiled bitterly, but suddenly remembered another thing.

"Professor, do mice also wear clothes?" he couldn't help but ask as he followed Lao Yao out of the classroom.

The last time he turned into a cat and wandered around the campus, Zheng Qing had seen a big mouse in clothes in the office building - this mouse had troubled the young public scholarship student for a long time, and he was not sure if it was a mouse transformed by a wizard or a real rat.

It happened that Lao Yao mentioned this, so he simply took this opportunity to ask.

"Clothed rats?" Lao Yao stopped, looked sideways at Zheng Qing, grabbed a pipe in one hand, and raised his eyebrows: "In the academy?"

Zheng Qing nodded again and again, detailing what he had seen and heard that night.

Finally, he added: "In the past two weeks, I have also taken a few free days to take a look under the tree hole, and the first two times I went were the same as before, there was nothing, and there was no shadow of the paper crane flying in...... The third time I went, the hole was gone, and the bark was intact, and it felt like I was in a dream. ”

"Hell. Lao Yao cursed in a low voice, paused, and then explained, "Maybe a wizard is practicing Transfiguration and is joking with you...... Like the vanishing tree hole, only magic can do that. ”

"Of course, there are also some enlightened rats who will also dress up as human beings and run around to study...... You have to remember that this is a wizarding university, and anything is possible. ”

Zheng Qing nodded, and agreed, thinking about it in private, but he always felt that Lao Yao's answer was a little perfunctory.

If there really is a wizard practicing the Transfiguration Spell, and the transformation results are a mouse, as the dean of the Nine You Academy, he must know some rumors. If the rat had not reported his identity at the First University, Zheng Qing believed that he would have been caught in the laboratory by the crazy wizards in the research institute to be a breeding rat.

The most important thing is that that night, the rat was wandering around the campus, and the school's guardian formation did not have a trace of abnormal fluctuations. If there is nothing greasy in the meantime, Zheng Qing will never believe it.

In this way, while thinking wildly, he followed the fat man and a few other people to the cafeteria for lunch.

Next to him, Xiao Xiao was carefully analyzing Lao Yao's explanation before class: "...... What he says is not necessarily false, but it is certainly not the whole truth. Do you know how many researchers, assistants, and even lecturers and school workers there are at First University? Do you need the deans and vice-principals of the university to do a simple survey of the silent forest? As long as you send a notice, some people are willing to go deep into the forest to do the investigation and evidence collection work of the silent resurgence. ”

"Yes, yes, at least Assistant Coach Hilda will be happy to do so...... In the last practical class, he told me that he was almost hairy in school. Zhang Jixin agreed with Dr. Zhang's analysis and gave his own arguments in support.

"Unconvincing. The fat man habitually retorted: "Perhaps, as the rumor goes, some monsters have been suppressed in the depths of the Silent Forest...... The deans had gone to check on the monsters. But after being a journalist for a long time, I can easily judge the gap between rumors and facts. If you want me to say, this rumor is very reliable!"

"Huh...... I don't know if it's reliable or not, but I know you've been a journalist for less than two months. Zhang Jixin snorted coldly.

While speaking, several people had already arrived in the cafeteria.

"Who knows!" Xiao Xiao finally shrugged and turned the topic in the other direction: "But what is certain is that maybe in the near future, the school cafeteria will provide a lot of fish-related food - the Wen ray with seeds is very delicious." ”

As he spoke, he gestured to today's menu on the glass window.

Steamed fish, boiled fish, braised fish, grilled fish steak, fried fish balls, stewed fish soup, fish in sour soup, diced spicy fish, etc., as far as the eye can see, the meat on the vegetable shelf is all made with the same color of manko ray.

It can be seen that the school working committee has done a very successful job in controlling the cost of the canteen.

"It doesn't matter. Zheng Qing's eyes swept over the various fish foods on the shelf, and said gloomily: "As long as the canteen doesn't peel the rats and make dishes, I can accept it." ”

The others looked at each other and burst into laughter.
