Chapter 56: Week Twelve
Fast forward to the twelfth week, and many things are becoming clearer.
Senior professors such as Professor Yi of Divination, Professor Li of Pharmacy, and Professor Emma of Astronomy, who were originally teaching classes, disappeared one after another, and were replaced by other ordinary lecturers to teach on their behalf.
When students asked where the professors were going, they could only get vague and meaningful answers, such as "I took leave for some reason", "I have something", and "I don't know".
Referring to the rumors from a certain 'curly-haired dog' and Xiao Xiao's guess before, Zheng Qing became more and more sure that something must have happened in the school - I don't know if it was because of the practice of Transfiguration, Zheng Qing felt like he was being clawed by a cat, and he was extremely curious about the whereabouts of the professors.
After all, he still had some sense, and he didn't sneak behind a professor or sneak into some forbidden part of the school to explore. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have trouble.
Not to mention that Professor Yao, who had solved the Transfiguration anomaly for him, had disappeared after taking away the residues of the potion and related materials, nor that Professor Yi's private tutoring had been postponed on Tuesday night, and that the restart was far away—the door to Professor Montella's office alone had kept the young public-funded student out for days.
At the end of the freshman competition, in view of the fact that a certain black cat ran away from Zheng Qing, Professor Yao once suggested that Zheng Qing consult Professor Montella, who specializes in bloodline talent at the school, about this - for this reason, the young public-funded student also asked Su Shijun to write a letter of recommendation - when the clinker caught up with the bad time, the Montella professor seemed to have been transferred from the school as well.
Zheng Qing went to the professor's office building for many days, but could not find the professor.
This has made the young government-funded students more and more depressed.
Compared to him, the rest of the class didn't have so many worries.
The benefits and disadvantages of the departure of senior professors are obvious.
The good thing is that the atmosphere on campus seems to have inadvertently become more lively and free. Especially in Jiuyou University, in the past, under the strict discipline and heavy academic load of the professors, everyone was under the pressure beyond this age, and many people often had big bags under their eyes.
Now, without those strict professors, the students suddenly found that there was less homework, and the classroom discipline was relaxed.
Of course, there are pros, and naturally there are disadvantages.
Without the experienced professors to teach, young toddlers in their first year suddenly find their textbooks much more difficult – for many, of course, the sophistication of the magic is profound – which means they will face even more pressure to prepare for their promotion exams in six months.
It's just that young people always like to spend a lot of time to be happy, as the saying goes, 'tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is so much', tomorrow will be difficult, yes, but the day after tomorrow will always come.
A living person can be suffocated by urine, let alone a living wizard.
"Want to open a little...... If there's really anything wrong with that Transfiguration, you should be lying in the hospital right now, bed with Dylan, instead of sitting in the classroom. The fat man lazily persuaded the young public-funded student: "Think about the good side of everything, for example, we should be happy now that Ms. Emma is not there and did not give us a foot-thick homework." ”
It's Tuesday afternoon, and this class is an astronomy class that originally belonged to Professor Emma.
It's just that the professor doesn't know where he has gone now, and the young man who substitutes for the teacher is estimated to have less than a year of teaching experience, and when he speaks, his face is flushed, he stammers, and he can only stand on the podium to read lesson plans and textbooks, which is prohibitive, and he can't bear to make too many small movements in her class.
"Dylan hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet?" Zhang Jixin seemed to hear Xin Fatzi's words, and also pulled his attention away from the podium, and asked in a surprised tone: "I remember that more than a week has passed since the next Yuan Festival...... The next full moon night is coming, why hasn't he been discharged from the hospital yet!"
"To be precise, Dylan is in again. The fat man shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless: "You should remember which academy he is from...... Two days after he was discharged from the hospital, he was involved in an unrestricted fighting match within the Star Academy, and half of his body was torn off. If it weren't for the fact that he had vampire blood, it is estimated that someone would have come to the family to collect the corpse. ”
"Wow. Zhang Jixin smacked his lips, finally shook his head, and sighed: "Originally, I also planned to practice several new battle formations in this week's hunting team training...... Looks like it's in the soup again. ”
"You can let the blue top first, I remember he was also a hunter. The fat man suggested.
"The Blue doesn't have time. Zhang Jixin shook his head and explained: "I have already asked him, but he seems to have been busy catching rats recently......
"Oh, I know about this, the school newspaper has been in the news before. The fat man immediately added: "It seems that many little mice have migrated from the Silent Forest in the school recently, so the school committee has gathered some students who are good at catching rats to participate in the hunt." There are credit awards. ”
"Well, I remember that the blue had a sable, right? Zhang Jixin was stunned, but immediately looked at Zheng Qing in surprise: "Why don't Brother Qing go? Poseidon should be good at catching mice......
"A local tyrant like him can't look down on the reward of catching mice. The fat man pouted: "Moreover, the little fox is also a lazy person, and the weather is so cold, it would rather curl up in the nest than go out." ”
"It's a terrible thing. Zhang Jixin rubbed his nose and rubbed his nose even redder: "The hunting team that won the first place in the freshman competition didn't have a hunter...... Who believes it!"
"Who made our hunters all from the Star Academy. The fat man sniffled and glanced at the young student.
Zheng Qing lay on the table, staring at the podium without focus, without the slightest intention of participating in the chat of the other two people's small circle, even when Zhang Jixin mentioned the big rats running around on campus, he only trembled his ears, and still did not have the slightest desire to discuss.
It's not that he's forgotten the clothed mouse that night, or that he wants to make a good impression in front of the substitute teacher, it's that he's having a mess in his head right now.
The scene before class came back to his mind over and over again, and he was quite annoyed.
Before astronomy class, Matthew Cullen's little vampire cub went back to Elena's desk to chat—and the gypsy witch had been in class with a great deal of relief lately. But if it weren't for some vampire's little cub gathered at her desk, the young public scholarship student would be happier.
When Zheng Qing came to the gypsy witch, Ma Xian held up a heavy reference book and said something happily.
“...... My cousin gave me the key to his lounge before, and I couldn't find where I lost it the other day, which scared me. Do you remember the book you gave me at the night of your last regular meeting? It turns out that the key has been stuck in that book!"
Matthew's cousin was Sir Friedman of Alpha College.
His lounge, Zheng Qing is very familiar with - on the day of the Xia Yuan Festival, he also followed Yelena to walk around. Thinking of the experience of that day, Zheng Qing suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but turn his head and look at the key in Matthew's hand.
At this moment, the young vampire was happily raising a thin metallic talisman in his hand and showing it to Yelena: "This is it!"
"Is this the key?" the witch said with a look of surprise as she seemed to know the purpose of this metal sheet for the first time, "I always thought it was a special bookmark......
The corners of Zheng Qing's mouth twitched.
If there were a golden man in the wizarding world, Elena should be qualified to win one.
If he was not mistaken, the key in Matthew's hand was the key that Elena used to open Sir Friedman's common room—of course, he would never tell him about it in front of Matthew.
What is at stake for Yelena's reputation, and her efforts to break the centuries-old shackles of the Gypsy Witch Colony, seems to be fine with even a little trick – but even then, it's not so glamorous.
Thinking of this, Zheng Qing couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other side of the classroom and glanced at Yelena with worried eyes.
