June 5th.

Miscanthus species.

The handle of the Big Dipper points to the C position (due south and east), and the sun has gradually moved overhead, bringing a lot of light and heat, causing the temperature to rise significantly, the rain is abundant, and the air is becoming more humid.

Sticky with the air, there are also the final exams that are approaching.

This has become a nightmare for all the young wizards of First University, especially Nine Talents Academy. Every morning, the first thing everyone faces when they open their eyes is the upcoming exam, and before closing their eyes every night, everyone still falls asleep with anxiety and anxiety, or the upcoming exam.

Exams, like the humid air before a rainstorm, are everywhere, making the atmosphere of the whole campus gloomy, but it also depicts the beauty of freedom and indulgence in the future to everyone.

Today is Friday, and there was originally a practical class in the afternoon, but Assistant Teacher Hilda applied to the school to allow students to review their homework freely - in fact, many people, including Zheng Qing, suspected that their teaching assistant was busy with the school's 'big things', so he didn't have time to teach them - in short, after lunch, Zheng Qing and his companions came to the chief student's study room early and started today's review in advance.

The chief student's study room is Liu Feifei's study room.

Recently, this place has become a common review place for the Nine Elements of the Crime Hunting Team, Sister Jiang Yu, Nicholas and Liu Feifei. Compared to the library, this study room may be a little cramped, but the similar learning atmosphere makes it more popular than the library.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Liu Feifei and Jiang Yu had not yet come. As class presidents and chief students, even now that the end of the semester is approaching, they still have a lot of extracurricular chores to deal with.

There are only four boys in the study room: Zheng Qing, Xiao Xiao, Xin and Nicholas - oh, and Li Meng who is napping on the experimental table. The stuffed bear named Li Neng was used as a pillow by her, and at the moment he was tilting his head sideways, looking at a three-legged toad that was slowly crawling not far from the tip of his nose.

It was a toad that struggled to climb out of the bamboo basket for freedom and life, trying to escape its unfortunate fate.

The tip of the inverted triangular nose made of plush bear jade twitched slowly, and a pair of small eyes were full of sadness.

The toad purred its eyes and glanced at the piece of jade, as if to judge whether it was food or a threat. But soon, its eyes bulged.

Because a pair of large hands wearing silkworm skin gloves fell from the sky, pinched its neck mercilessly, and grabbed it in midair.

"This frog has only three legs...... Does it work?"

Zheng Qing pinched the neck of the amphibian, raised it in front of him to look at it, and then looked at Nicholas: "Will it affect the effect of your spell casting?"

Nicholas smiled and took the offering.

"It is never the size of the sacrifices that determine the effect of magic, but their existence. Like a lecturer in philosophy, he said something incomprehensible: "If the sacrifice is not to the liking, it is a sacrifice to a world, and it is difficult to gain the favor of it." ”

"Moreover, this is a toad, not a frog. Xiao Xiao poked the pus on the toad's body with the tip of a quill, watched the pale yellow pus slowly flow down, and added, "...... It is also a poisonous toad, the scientific name of the Queensland sea toad, native to northeastern Australia, whose skin makes for good toad gloves, and the toad crisp is a catalyst used in many potions. ”

The answer was indeed like what a doctor would say.

Zheng Qing rolled up the newspaper on the table and patted the dust in front of him.

Then I took out my pocket watch and looked at the time.

"Why haven't they come yet?" he muttered.

The fat man glanced at the young public-funded student.

"Will they not come and affect your revision of your homework?" he teased, with a bit of ridicule in his tone: "Do you want to grab the hand of Class Leader Jiang again today?"

Zheng Qing immediately blushed.

The last time he was reviewing his homework in this study room, the young scholar took a nap and witnessed a strange wizard climbing the cat fruit tree in a dream - of course, he now knew that the strange wizard was Professor Trudeau, and the professor was going to torture him with a little evil spell because the title of 'world' was taken away by Zheng Qing - but at that time, the male wizard who woke up from the dream did not have this understanding, he was just bent on catching the strange wizard who climbed the cat fruit tree.

Then he dragged Jiang Yu and ran out.

God knows what was going on his head at the time.

Since then, his companions have made fun of Zheng Qing about this matter, and the young wizard who is aggrieved can only stand still and laugh awkwardly twice in the face of their jokes.

Hearing Banner bring up the old story again, the other two wizards in the study room burst out laughing. The laughter made the sleeping little witch sit up straight.

“...... In 1945, the 1536th meeting of the Great Wizards Conference of the Wizarding Alliance, "Measures for the Management of Wizards' Behavior", stipulated the scope of activities of ordinary wizards and restricted the communication between wizards and the world of Baiding...... "She recited aloud the red test points in the history of magic, and her face was full of seriousness.

If she could erase the saliva from the corners of her mouth and the red sleep marks on her face, maybe that 'seriousness' would be more convincing.

In the laughter, Li Meng slowly came back to his senses.

Oh, so my cousin hasn't come back yet. She snapped and fell back on the desk with the stuffed bear in her arms, not going to look for a few wizards' stubble, and refusing to waste an extra second of sleep.

In the midst of laughter, the black curse mark on Nicholas's forehead flashed brightly, and in his hand, the three-legged toad's already bulging eyes became more and more bulging, and the flesh gradually shrank, until finally, as the two eyeballs rolled down from the eye sockets, the toad yearning for freedom finally turned into a pinch of flying ashes.

In exchange, a dull yellow halo of magic lit up between Nicholas's books.

The tip of the stuffed bear's nose twitched again.

His eyes became clearer.

Yes, what's wrong with lying down, if the price of freedom is to turn into ashes, it would rather be a pillow for the rest of its life and lie under Li Meng's head.

Thinking of this, the stuffed bear raised his arm and carefully touched the little witch's head.

It's like a flower fairy touching the first flower she sees in spring.

"Meow~!"

A soft cat meow interrupted the laughter in the study room and startled the stuffed bear. Its claws were a little heavier, and Li Meng twisted his neck, closed his eyes and muttered, and complained in a low voice.

The stuffed bear turned his head angrily, trying to see which deadly cat was scaring him at this time.

Its head spun around, and two jade-clasped eyes shot out a little blue light.

But as far as the eye can see, in addition to the general teacher, magical creature specimens, and four stupid male wizards, there is only one more gray dog in the entire study room, and there is no cat.

Just as he was wondering, the dog wagged his tail at the stuffed bear, and barked happily:

"Meow~!"
