Chapter 255: Awakening

The décor of the Chapel No. 1 is clearly modeled after that of the First Hall.

The iron-gray floor is inlaid with criss-crossing silver-white lines and many hollowed-out characters, which makes people feel inexplicably reassuring when stepping on it.

The ceiling as deep as the night sky, empty and lonely, only dotted with some bean-sized light clusters, swarms, like a swarm of fireflies on a summer night, and like migrating lampworms, leaving patches of milky white light behind them.

There are also tall columns that surround the auditorium.

However, compared to the first hall, this small hall has no arches behind the columns, no walls with long scrolls, and no higher-level corridors above the hall.

Of course, freshman hunters from the four colleges paid little attention to the décor of these halls. All eyes were focused on the pre-match checks that were going on.

The lists on the roster are in alphabetical order.

So no one was surprised that Andrew Taylor was the first to be called in - but it also intrigued everyone, because the young master of the Taylor family had just squeezed the senior officer of the hunting committee on the stage with questions, and others could read a lot from the old student's subsequent attitude towards Andrew.

Not surprisingly, the young master of the Taylor family was given special 'care' at the first level.

To be precise, it was subjected to strict inspection.

Ouroboros hunting outfits are silver-gray dragon leather jackets, with slightly shiny leather surfaces and slightly brown folds, which imbue these jackets with a unique sense of heaviness and a huge risk of 'entrainment'.

The young werewolf took off his leather coat and deer-hunting hat from his head, and let the old man of the hunting committee take the slender metal stick and stab him around—from his nostrils to his ears, to his mouth, and so on—as if he wanted to poke every hole in his body.

Several of the other officers of the hunting committee around him stood by with their fists on the sidelines, as if they could only wait for Andrew Taylor to break out because he couldn't stand such an inspection, and there would be good reason to suppress him and drag him out.

Although the little wolf of the Taylor family is five big and three thick, and looks a little rough in temper, it shows the corresponding IQ of the nobles born under the moon at this critical moment. He let the metal stick stab at him, unconcerned, and even took the opportunity to turn around and make a face at several of his Ouroboros companions.

Because of the limited time, the old student could only let him go in a huff after forcibly removing the ring on the young werewolf's ten fingers.

"Next!" he grimaced, reopening the roster in his hand, "Anna Wintour...... You go to the checkpoint next to it, and it's in charge of the witches' checks. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the stick in his hand and tapped at a place not far behind him where the curtain had been torn up.

At the entrance to the tent, a short, round-faced witch was trying to look at it on her tiptoes.

"At this rate, it's about half an hour before a few of us take our turns. Zhang Jixin frowned, wrenched his fingers and calculated: "Lan L, Xiao X, Xin X, Zheng Z, Zhang Z...... Except for the Blue, who are ranked relatively high, everyone else is basically at the bottom. ”

"Am I going to be treated differently like that little wolf cub in Taylor...... You know, I just asked a question. Seeing the third boy being quickly released, Fat Xin finally couldn't help it, turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao and asked in a low voice, "Doctor, do you know the officer who took the lead in the hunting committee in front?"

"Xin Xiangbian, a native of Lingnan, a 06-level student of Alpha College, deputy director of the Supervision Department of the Student Union of Alpha College, has an extreme personality and a tendency to hate the rich. He is good at the cultivation of herbs, has strong attainments in alchemy, and was once the deputy head of the 3A club. ”

"Ever?"

"Not anymore...... He came from a poor family and was originally admired by Sir Friedman only for his superhuman talent. But after becoming the deputy head of the 3A club, for various reasons, he lost many resources of the club, and was finally poked out. Although it did not constitute an embezzlement, he was eventually removed from the list by Sizz. ”

"Is the Alpha Student Council already to this point?!" the fat man snorted sullenly.

"From the beginning, I wondered why the professors weren't in charge of the inspections...... Even if a few teaching assistants come in, or a few researchers are transferred from the research institute, it is better than these old students!" Zhang Jixin couldn't help but complain: "This year, the brains of the hunting committee have been used by demons to soak in wine?!"

"The Freshman Tournament was originally just a spin-off of the 'Academy Cup', not a main competition, so naturally it would not be so strict. In addition, in recent times, there have been a bit of a small number of teachers and staff in the school, and it is very normal that they have not been arranged to do this. Xiao Xiao didn't raise his head, and added softly: "Besides, that incident happened last night, I'm afraid they are busier now......"

Yesterday evening, there was an accident in a laboratory at First University. Although this morning's school newspaper did not issue a temporary issue to report the accident in detail, it still added a tofu block to the news quick facts to briefly confirm the incident.

Perhaps, as Xiao Xiao speculated, the occurrence of this accident has increasingly consumed the school's already insufficient teaching staff, resulting in only some senior students who are in charge of the inspection of the freshman hunting competition today.

"Otherwise, our hunting team might as well give up...... I don't want him to stab me with that stick. The fat man sneered and whispered, "Anyway, our captain has been groggy all the time......"

"You're going to give up? That's good news. An abrupt voice sounded behind the fat man.

He turned quickly, and it was Matthew Cullen who spoke.

The Cullen Hunting Team's hunting outfit is a retro British style, with a uniform ivory tweed suit, knee-length boots, a soft felt hat and fawn skin gloves, which looks very elegant.

In comparison, the dark red academy hunting uniform of the Sin Hunting Team is much more rudimentary.

Behind Matthew, followed by Elena and the rest of Karen Hunting Team.

"What's wrong with him?" asked the gypsy witch in a whisper as she took a few steps, passed Matthew, and came to Zheng Qing's side first, cracking his eyelids and looking at him.

Several hunters looked at each other, and finally Zhang Jixin coughed dryly and explained vaguely: "Something happened last night, so he used some sleeping potions, maybe a little too much......"

"What kind of medicine is used?" the gypsy witch continued to ask, "Barbiturates, Valium, Triazolam, or Fernandes, Mai Dong, Bo Ziren, Keel, Shou Wuteng?"

Without waiting for the hunters to answer, she continued to ask, "Did you find a therapist? Why didn't you go to the school hospital?"

"I've already looked at the therapist at the school, and said that it's just a bit of mental drain, and it's okay to take a good rest, but I didn't prescribe medicine to us...... So in the end, I was not hospitalized. Zhang Jixin smiled, scratched the back of his head, and looked at the rest of the hunting team for help.

Xiao Xiao stared down at the notebook, Xin Fat Man gnawed his fingers to look at the hunting committee not far away, and the blue squinted, as if he was wandering into the world. No one responded to his plea gaze.

Yelena frowned, her expression was still a little dissatisfied, but before she could speak, the public scholarship student who was originally leaning on Zhang Jixin twitched slightly, and her eyelids trembled.

This anomaly immediately caught everyone's attention.

"Awake?" exclaimed the Lord Hunter of Sin in surprise.

"Fog grass! We shouted all morning to no avail, and others just came over and said hello and you woke up...... It's too faceless!" Xin Fatty's focus is always different.

Yelena's face was slightly red, and she pretended not to hear the meaning of the fat man's words, but only took a swift and light step back, and fell behind Matthew again.

The young Bloodline of the Karen family pursed their lips and did not speak.

"This is not magic," Xiao Xiao lifted his glasses, his eyes were a little confused: "The therapist said that according to his mental attrition, he needs to rest for more than twenty-four hours...... Why did you wake up so early?"

"Plop!"

Zheng Qing broke free from Zhang Jixin's support, staggered to his feet, opened one eye, and suddenly looked up at the ceiling.

"Danger!" he whispered a warning in a hoarse voice.

"Dangerous?" the fat man laughed and slapped the wizard on the shoulder: "It's really dangerous...... You haven't woken up, and we almost thought we wouldn't even be able to pass the hunting team's inspection!"

"There is danger. Zheng Qing muttered, looking up at the ceiling, still covering one eye, revealing only the right eye that had once turned red from bruising.

This time, all the people with keen senses, including Xiao Xiao, Nan Jian, Yelena, Matthew, etc., all raised their heads and looked up at Zheng Qing's gaze.

As if in response to their gaze, under the ceiling, the group of lights and fireflies that had been circling and flying suddenly went out, and the entire small hall was suddenly plunged into darkness.

There was silence for a few seconds, and then there was an uproar.

But then, a strange, cheerful voice rang out in the darkness and echoed through the auditorium, suppressing the clamor of the crowd:

"Gentlemen and ladies!"
