Following this slightly teasing voice, the tent in the lounge was suddenly lifted, revealing a face that was familiar to everyone.
It's Thomas.
His spirit seemed much better than before - perhaps because Lao Yao had revealed the final bottom line of punishment, which reassured the young assistant - in short, his face was no longer as pale as before on the hunting ground.
, the expression is no longer stiff and becomes more lively.
"...No, this is not a good habit." The blond and blue-eyed teaching assistant raised his index finger, shook it repeatedly, and shook his head slightly, and said quickly: "As the saying goes, changing generals before the battle is a taboo for military strategists.
Although you no longer have competitions, you still have to pay attention to these taboos - after all, you are wizards, and you should know that there are countless mysterious 'unreasonable memes' in this world that will be triggered by some of your imprudent behaviors."
Although Thomas' words are a bit difficult to pronounce, they are actually very easy to understand.
The most famous example is the 'Murphy meme'. If you are worried about something happening, it will definitely happen; but if you deliberately ignore your worries, there is still a high probability that it will happen - as if there is a
An invisible hand is fiddling with the thread of your destiny, which is scary but inescapable.
There are many similar examples. For example, you cannot say "go home after hunting the last monster" in battle; another example is that the thirteenth person sitting at the dinner table will be in bad luck; and you must sprinkle incense ashes before entering the medicine garden.
Left shoulder, etc. These mysterious and non-magical taboos are deeply rooted in the wizarding world and have far-reaching influence.
A great wizard from the Zhou family in Shaoxing gave a very insightful summary of this: "...there are no 'irrational memes' in the world. The more people believe in them, the more these memes are born."
In short, as Thomas said, although the Sin Hunting Team has no further games, it is very taboo to change the leader of the Hunting Team at will on the field.
"...In addition, he is also the 'culprit' for your hunting team's victory in the freshman championship this time. If you oust him now, then you will be under greater pressure on the podium."
Thomas's last sentence had no beginning or end. Zheng Qing felt a little baffled after hearing it. He always felt that there was something wrong with his logic.
But the teaching assistant did not give him a chance to ask more questions. Instead, he waved his hand and changed the topic: "This matter is over here. Zheng Qing still has to go to the podium... The honor is yours, the pressure is on you."
It’s yours too.”
"Before you go on stage, you sign this thing first... the other hunting teams have signed it, and only you, the Excuse Hunting Team, are left."
As he spoke, he pulled out a long parchment roll from his arms and unfolded it in front of the young wizards. At the same time, he thrust a thick and long black quill into Zheng Qing's hand.
"You are the captain of the forgiveness team, you come first."
Through the light falling from the ceiling of the lounge, Zheng Qing vaguely recognized that it was a contract with complicated terms. He clearly remembered that Xiao Xiao had repeatedly warned him not to sign documents he did not know at will.
Therefore, the young public-funded student immediately raised his head and looked at the doctor.
"Contract of silence?" Xiao Xiao lived up to his expectations. He judged the identity of the parchment roll in the blink of an eye and asked in a very sure tone.
"As expected of a doctor." Thomas praised and added: "This is the 'Freshman Competition Version' developed based on previous years' 'Hunting Ground Training' version. It is used for the first time this year, but the terms are all those classic terms... As usual,
All have to be signed.”
Seemingly sensing the confusion of others, Thomas simply explained everything from beginning to end.
It turns out that under normal circumstances, first-year students at First University should arrive at the school in advance to participate in the ‘hunting ground training’ held by the school one month before the semester begins.
Freshmen will face monsters and experience death during the training camp - also through the Karma Transformation Technique - but in previous years, the freshman's mortality rate was too high due to their varying qualifications, which resulted in many freshmen having many psychological barriers that were difficult to overcome, and some even
Seriously affect subsequent study and life.
Therefore, starting from the 2008 class, First University has moved all freshmen training to sophomore years.
Of course, for freshmen who have courage and ability, the school will not begrudge some magic spells and materials, and will prepare a small hunting ground for them to experience the cruelty of the world in advance - which is what Zheng Qing and others participated in this year.
'Freshman Competition'.
Just like Lao Yao said.
'Only when you lose can you know how to cherish; only when you face death can you truly live.'
"Do you still remember what Professor Charles said after we landed on the special plane?" Xiao Xiao suddenly mentioned an old thing and looked at his friends around him.
"Remember, remember," Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly, frowning and recalling: "It's just some weird words like 'this is the first class'..."
Xiao Xiao glanced at him speechlessly, opened his notebook, and whispered softly: "'Remember today's lesson, feel the meaning of life, this is the beginning of your learning.'... These are the original words."
"Haha, it means the same thing." Zheng Qing touched the back of his head, smiled dryly, and asked, "Is there anything strange about this sentence?"
"This sentence was originally the first sentence you heard as freshmen who returned from death after participating in the 'Hunting Ground Training'." Thomas suddenly interrupted and said quickly: "Old Charles welcomes new students every year and has formed a habit... so
You're talking nonsense."
"Fortunately, you fell from the sky and escaped death... but you didn't make any jokes."
"No wonder!" Zheng Qing felt a little surprised: "I just said that the people around him were a little dumbfounded when they heard what he said... It turned out that he really said it wrong!"
"But, we already know about this... Is the sophomore training still effective?" Zhang Jixin suddenly spoke and asked curiously: "If my understanding is correct, we must participate in this kind of training without knowing anything.
Only through competition can we maximize our potential... Only in this way can our death in the hunting ground be meaningful."
Thomas looked at him in surprise.
"I thought you were smarter than your brother," the teaching assistant shrugged and asked, "Why do you think your brother didn't tell you about the training camp?"
"Contract?!" Zheng Qing suddenly understood.
"Bingo... the prize is a four-year contract of silence." Thomas flicked the long parchment roll in front of him, stuffed it under Zheng Qing's nose, and urged: "Sign it quickly, we have limited time.
...The main effect of this contract is to seal your true memory of certain aspects of this hunting game - of course, it will not affect the experience you gain from the hunting ground, nor will it make you feel like you have a memory gap - trust me,
The research on soul and memory by the great wizards in the school is beyond imagination."
"After all, erasing memories is not the purpose. The purpose of the school is to help you better adapt to the world."
