On Thursday afternoon, in the clone transformation class, before Lao Yao entered the classroom, the classroom with only two classmates was filled with a solemn atmosphere, especially after Jiang Yu asked this question naturally.
What is supposed to come will eventually come.
Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"On the day of the Forbidden Demon Day, the doctor, Fatty, and I went to the North District to meet Senior Sister Kolma. On the way back, we met a few crows and were destroyed by them." He gave the most truthful and correct answer almost without thinking.
s answer.
For this answer, Zheng Qing has reviewed this answer in his mind many times. After careful simulation, he realized very clearly that it is difficult for him to lie in front of an excellent witch who is familiar with him. Rather than accidentally being exposed afterwards, it is better to
Give the most correct answer honestly from the beginning.
Sure enough, after hearing this answer, Jiang Yu's attention was immediately diverted by a certain keyword, and he no longer paid attention to the destruction of the haha beads. He didn't even ask Zheng Qing what he was doing in the North District.
"Crows? Where did the crows come from...are they not all dead yet?" The witch frowned beautifully and held down the white jade kitten that was playing with her wrist.
Zheng Qing felt slightly happy.
His face showed great seriousness.
"maybe."
Although his words were uncertain, his tone was extremely certain: "Some time ago, I went to the Sakura Tavern, and Senior Sister Kolma gave me a fortune telling..."
Zheng Qing briefly described the 'Reversed Tower' he got, as well as the nightmare that night, the dried crows hanging on the scaffolding and the praying cultists he saw in the dream.
"This time after we fell into the sandbox in the North District, we saw the scaffoldings in our dreams..."
After he recalled the experience in the sandbox in a few words, he paused for a moment, and finally added cautiously: "Before escaping, we saw several wizards wearing crow masks who were rescued by a big crow... Those masks
, exactly the same as the guys we met when we completed the hunting team promotion mission during the winter vacation!"
The white jade kitten finally escaped from the witch's shackles, ran to the wizard's cuffs, and rubbed his wrist, looking pitiful.
"Be careful not to let it take your cufflinks away." Jiang Yu reminded, then looked at the boy seriously: "Why haven't you told me about this before?"
Zheng Qing held the white jade kitten between his two fingers and returned it to its owner.
"Because your class schedule is fuller than mine... I don't want to make it harder for you." He explained in a low voice.
The witch bit her lip, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just sighed, lowered her head, and played with the white jade kitten in her hand. After a while, she raised her head again.
"You are about to graduate... For the rest of this semester, if you stay in school, those crows can't do anything to you." At this point, there was a slight hesitation on her face, but she finally added: "In addition,
, Senior Sister Kolma, I suggest you keep a little distance from her... Of course, I know that you are now a teaching assistant at Fringe College, and she is the deputy dean of Fringe College. I mean, besides work, try your best to
keep distance."
Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.
This was the first time that Jiang Yu had asked him very clearly to 'keep a distance' from a certain witch, so much so that he didn't immediately know what kind of expression he should show.
But the attitude should still be clear.
"The relationship between me and her is innocent...I mean, we have no relationship!" The boy desperately wanted to express something, but his choice of words was a bit bad.
A layer of cherry-like red appeared on the witch's face.
"I did not mean that."
She grabbed the white jade kitten and threw it into Zheng Qing's arms. Her tone was a bit angry, but when she changed the subject, she added a hint of solemnity: "Actually, I heard some elders in the family talking about things related to my senior sister before... I guess...
, she is now affected by the war inside and outside the school competing for the 'Dean of the Marginal College'... and because her advanced foundation is not solid enough, the situation is very delicate, not completely obsessed... At this time, keep a safe distance from her
, which is good for everyone.”
The white jade kitten pulled at the boy's chest and tried to get into his arms. Zheng Qing took its tail, pulled it out, and carefully handed it back to the witch again.
While he was doing these things, his mind was already flashing to his past experiences when he went to Sakura Tavern to meet Colma, and he suddenly had a clearer understanding in his heart - maybe this was the reason why he had noticed something 'wrong' before.
“Very good, very good!”
Old Yao's familiar voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the two young wizards. Zheng Qing suddenly raised his head, only to find that the dean of Jiuyou College had appeared at the table at some point, looking at the magic weapon in Jiang Yu's hand with interest.
White Jade Kitten: "I noticed that classmate Jiang Yu has completed the first stage of training in the clone transformation technique...what about you?"
He turned to look at Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing looked stunned and spread out his palms, revealing the piece of obsidian he had been holding. It had become somewhat cat-shaped, and seemed to be wrapped in a layer of afterbirth, and would squirm from time to time.
Looking at his own, Zheng Qing couldn't help but look at Jiang Yu's.
Perhaps because of the arrival of the legendary wizard, the white jade kitten felt a sense of awe. At this moment, it acted very docile in the palm of the witch, sitting cross-legged, dignified and well-behaved.
This made him more and more frustrated.
Lao Yao patted his shoulder and made no comment.
"Well, I probably already understand the situation." He tugged at the homework books of the two young wizards on the desk, and the pages flipped through his fingertips.
Only then did Zheng Qing notice that the professor's fingertips were flashing with tiny lights and shadows, like a video with stuck frames. He was no longer the ignorant magic novice he was before, and it was easy to identify the professor in front of him from these details.
Not a real person or a prosthetic body, but just a projection.
"Our progress in the previous few classes has been relatively smooth, so in this class, you will study on your own, and no new content will be taught... You two try to keep the progress consistent."
At this point, the professor stretched out his finger and tapped Zheng Qing's head: "Especially you, take the first step in the clone transformation technique as soon as possible. Jiang Yu's cat is already crawling around, and your cat doesn't even have a beard.
You can't even distinguish your eyelashes, why don't you blush?"
Zheng Qing laughed along with him, without any urge to blush.
This made him feel deep in his heart, and he missed the delicious boy who blushed when he was slightly criticized when he was a freshman.
"What about you, Professor?"
The witch boldly looked at Lao Yao, who seemed to be about to sit back on the podium, and expelled her politely: "You are in the classroom, and the efficiency of our self-study will be very low... You are a legend after all, just sitting there,
It makes people tremble...Mr. Pierce said that a relaxed and pleasant environment is conducive to learning."
Old Yao curled his lips.
"I don't think you are trembling at all." He muttered quietly, but the figure disappeared from the classroom with a very loud 'pop'.
