1316: Chapter 63 Starting from Zhou 13 1316: Chapter 63 Starting from Zhou 13 Zheng Qing did not know that so staff mbers of Trident Sword were planning to present him with a silk banner.
The encounter on Sunday night was never ntioned to anyone in the school by him and Jiang Yu.
On one hand, so parts of the incident were ultimately embarrassing.
Two outstanding students from First University were taken down by a Black Wizard using despicable ans—one turned into a cat, and the other drooling with a crooked mouth and eyes, nearly abducted for organ harvesting.
Just thinking about it was depressing.
On the other hand, they did not want to bring new trouble to Sister Korma—Zheng Qing did not know that Korma had observed his fight—in the narrow yet insightful understanding of the young subsidized student, because of sacrificial magic, the current situation in North Beita Town was already sensitive; if people from First University or the Mage Alliance were to create an uproar under the guise of “hunting Black Wizards” causing new and bigger conflicts with the wizards of the North District, it would be an enormous mistake.
Thus, in the tacit silence shared by the two young wizards, the matter quietly passed.
Of course, out of consideration for both risk and morality, after returning to school, Zheng Qing still sent a paper crane to Sister Korma, briefly describing the night’s encounter and advising her to clean up the slightly rampant Black Wizards in the North District recently.
However, Sister Korma’s reply left the young subsidized student sowhat puzzled:
“Received, thank you!”
“An unexpectedly brilliant performance… quite wonderful!”
Two lines, two responses.
The first line was clear and neat, looking as though it was printed.
The sentence was syntactically smooth, with a clear aning that was imdiately understandable.
But the second sentence was a bit odd.
Aside from its content being sowhat baffling, the handwriting was also sowhat sloppy, as if it were traces left impulsively by a witch.
If it weren’t for the consistency in ink color, joined writing, and details at so of the bends between the two lines of text, and the clear reply magic stamp, Zheng Qing would have suspected that the letter was written by two different people.
“Unexpectedly brilliant?”
The boy pinched his smooth chin, frowning and pondering the aning of this phrase—was Sister saying my performance surpassed Jiang Yu’s?
But how would she know?
Or did she think it was unexpected of to defeat two Black Wizards?
But she’s not a cat, right?
And those ellipses, they seem quite aningful.
The three words “quite wonderful” had no ambiguity, it was a complint to him.
The tan parchnt emitted a faint fishy odor under the sunlight, as if one could sll the heaviness of culture and history.
Zheng Qing stared at the slanted italic writing of Sister Korma—the sloppy but very beautiful handwriting.
He strongly suspected that Sister had replied to the wrong letter, sending a response intended for soone else to him.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t the sentence make sense no matter how he interpreted it?
“What are you looking at?
You’ve been staring at that paper for ten minutes.” Xin Fat Man’s greasy presence and voice squeezed over, making the young subsidized student feel suffocated.
“Stay away from !” Zheng Qing slapped his hand on Xin Fat Man’s round face, stopping him from getting any closer, and mumbled in response, “It’s just a reply to a complaint…
I can’t quite understand it.”
“Complaint?
Who did you complain about?
The School Works Committee again?” Xiao Xiao, hearing this, also shifted his gaze from his laptop.
Not long ago, Lin Guo’s Black Mountain Goat went missing, and Zheng Qing had accompanied the Little Warlock to the School Works Committee to request assistance in finding the goat but was put off by answers filled with bureaucracy and formalism.
This was not the first ti.
Annoyed, Zheng Qing had, during the last Absolution Hunting Team eting, asked Xiao Xiao to submit a “Goat Milk Investigation Report,” concurrently endorsing a complaint suggesting that the School Works Committee improve their work style.
Unexpectedly, the complaint sank like a stone into the sea, eliciting no response.
So Xiao Xiao thought Zheng Qing tenaciously made a second complaint.
The young scholarship student imdiately grasped the hidden aning in the doctor’s words and couldn’t help but roll his eyes, “Complain about them?
Ha… other than wasting my precious ti and ink, what good does it do?”
“It also wastes saliva,” Xin Fat Man earnestly added.
Zheng Qing rolled up Korma’s reply, tucked it carefully into the depths of the grey cloth bag, and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yu, who was sitting in the front row of the classroom.
She seed to be discussing the test paper with Li ng.
A loud cough from Xin Fat Man ca from nearby.
Zheng Qing turned back and saw Fat Man forcefully squeezing out a disgusted expression.
However, beyond that feigned disgust, there was an obvious look of envy and excitent.
“Scumbag.” He pinched his orchid fingers towards Zheng Qing and squeaked out an insult.
“Scum…?” Zheng Qing pointed to his own nose, feeling bewildered, “What madness has stricken you so early in the morning?”
Xiao Xiao’s unhurried voice rang out beside them, explaining Fat Man’s accusation, “He’s saying that it’s been less than half a month since Elena took a leave of absence from school and you’re already planning on making the spare tire the official one… Such actions are very bad, extrely bad… it will make the other girls in the college think that the boys in Astronomy Class 08-1 are all fickle playboys.”
Due to so unspoken reasons, the school had not announced Elena’s accident to everyone, and everyone knew only that she took a temporary leave due to health reasons—although it was a bit sudden, such incidents were not unprecedented.
Hearing Xiao Xiao’s explanation, Zheng Qing’s face imdiately turned purple-red—nearly enough to pass as Zhang Ji Xin’s cousin—and he promptly pulled out a bunch of Suppression Symbols, slamming them onto the desk.
“I allow you to rephrase that.” The young scholarship student sounded fierce yet sowhat reserved, pounding the desk loudly.
This drew the attention of the others in the class, especially Jiang Yu in the front row, who also turned her gaze over.
This made the boy pound on the table with less force, and his face reddened even more.
Xiao Xiao decisively raised his hands as a sign of surrender.
Fat Man also dropped his effeminate act, showing a generous smile on his face, and under the scrutiny of everyone, he patted Zheng Qing on the shoulder and whispered, “Did you go to Beta Town with Jiang Yu last night?”
“That was official business!” Zheng Qing retorted with a white-hot face.
“I get it, everyone gets it… all excuses start like this…”
Fat Man’s words trailed off.
Like a duck that had been strangled, he suddenly lost his voice.
Similarly, the normally bustling Astronomy Class 08-1 also beca quiet at the sa ti.
Everyone held their breath, trying to look unconcerned, but this oppressive and quiet atmosphere only made everything seem even more abnormal.
The reason for the abnormality was simple.
Because Liu Fei Fei and Nicolas had just walked into the classroom.
Behind the door, the stick figure, usually quick to mock the nearly late young wizards, simply lay on the ground, propping its chin with its hands, its face showing a mischievous expression—as one of the most well-inford individuals in school, clearly, it also knew what had happened to Nicolas.
