High School of Demon Hunting-Chapter 404 - 73 Selection_1

"Your eyesight is really good!" Li Meng exclaimed from the side, "I thought that after you got red eye disease, your vision would decline ..."

"Meng Meng!" Jiang Yu sternly glared at the little witch.

"It’s okay, it’s ok." Zheng Qing waved his hands repeatedly, laughing, "Red eye disease is a good name...it’s much better than being mistakenly thought to be a fallen wizard...haha."

The remarks weren’t funny at all.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

"Did you call us over for something?" Xiao Xiao deflected the conversation towards the instigator.

The little witch sneakily glanced at her cousin, then shook her head like a rattle drum, "No...nothing. I just waved hello."

"Is that right." Xiao Xiao Hu looked at her skeptically, his eyes filled with doubt.

Zheng Qing didn’t notice the interaction between the other two. Now he was racking his brains as to whether Jiang Yu had discovered the identity of that black cat, whether he should surrender early or if he would be beaten to death by the witch if he wasn’t honest when transforming into a cat next time.

But when he thought of the intimate contact between the witch and the black cat, his face as a scholarship student felt a sudden surge of heat, and the courage he had just gathered evaporated under this heat wave.

He ultimately gave up continue discussing the slightly sensitive topic of ’shapeshifting’.

He turned to another matter instead.

"I heard that you are still looking for the perpetrator who hurt the kitten?" Zheng Qing asked in a very casual tone.

After all, Jiang Yu had helped him a lot.

Since he knew of her activities while he was a cat, Zheng Qing felt that he too should have a certain awareness.

But the witch immediately noticed the small oversight in his public expense student question.

"Who did you hear that from?" Jiang Yu blinked turns out to be curious, "I didn’t mention this thing to anyone else..."

"The library doesn’t only have books and not any fresh news." Zheng Qing cleverly improvised a sentence, then tried his best to add in a relaxed tone, "So did you find anything new in your investigation? Do you need help? If you need any help, just say..."

He said his words fast and urgently, but appeared sincere.

"Thank you." Jiang Yu smiled at him with curved eyebrows and eyes, but she politely declined, "If need arises, I will definitely trouble you...but right now there’s no need..."

"My cousin has thought of a super good method... " Li Meng was cut off abruptly by a fast-moving Jiang Yu who covered her mouth.

The witch apologetically smiled at the young scholarship student.

Zheng Qing immediately realized, waved his hands, after quickly bidding farewell, he took the other two male students and left the front row desk.

"Why didn’t you let me speak!" The young witch struggled to free herself from her cousin’s bind, looking at her with discontent.

"That’s not a good idea." Jiang Yu whispered, vigilantly observing her surroundings, "Don’t mention this thing to others for the time being... we don’t tell our family either."

"You also know it’s not a good idea." Li Meng muttered, sat back in her chair and complained, "Since it’s not a good idea, why don’t you just quietly do the investigation like before..."

"Because continuing to read those worm-eaten files in the library will also not provide more useful information." Jiang Yu sighed tiredly, "Though it’s not a good idea, it might be a rather effective idea... If there were other options, I certainly wouldn’t do it."

"But it’s really dangerous!" Li Meng’s face showed some unease, "You don’t want the family to know, nor do you want others to know... Only me as backup, it’s really dangerous."

"It’s alright, this is the first University." Jiang Yu put her hand on top of the young witch’s head and rubbed her little bun, "And, I trust you."

"Don’t mess up my hairstyle!" Li Meng shook her head, partly smug, partly worried, and finally complained vehemently, "It’s all that black cat’s fault! Next time I see it, I’m definitely going to hang it from a tree and whip it!"

At the back of the classroom, Zheng Qing felt his nose itch and couldn’t help but sneeze repeatedly.

"It has nothing to do with that cat." Jiang Yu couldn’t help but laugh. "Maybe I should thank it for giving me this inspiration."

Faced with her older cousin’s insistence, the young witch finally sighed and stressed, "If that’s the case, then listen to me... start that thing after Moon Hunting. Things are a bit chaotic at school now... and if there is any trouble, I’ll go find those rascals we just met."

Jiang Yu nodded happily and tousled the young witch’s bun again.

"Stop!" The little witch forcefully shook off the offending hand, suddenly recalling something. She glanced back at the boys sitting at the back of the class, then leaned in to whisper to Jiang Yu, "Did you notice anything odd about Zheng Qing today?"

"Odd? What’s odd?" Jiang Yu responded without looking up from her textbook and notebook, "Compared to him, I find Fifi acting even weirder today..."

"I feel like the way Zheng Qing was looking at you today was kind of weird." Li Meng skeptically recalled, squinted her eyes, and elbowed her cousin, "Did he do something to upset you?"

"If you don’t talk, no one will think you’re mute." A blush crept up Jiang Yu’s fair neck, but she didn’t raise her head. Instead, she gave Li a warning poke.

Li Meng pouted and, bored, knelt on her chair, swiveling her head around as if operating a radar.

Liu Feifei, mentioned by Jiang Yu earlier, didn’t sit in her usual spot at the front of the class today. Instead, she chose a corner at the back of the room with Nicholas.

She sat next to Nicholas today.

This made Li Meng, who usually enjoyed chatting with the top student, feel quite bored.

But she had to admit, it took a good deal of courage for this First Year WHIP-IT of Jiuyou Academy to choose this spot.

Although the students who came for the meeting didn’t verbally react, many couldn’t help but glance towards the corner of the room and whisper among themselves.

Compared to Liu Feifei’s bravery, Nicholas, a veteran who had been at the university for two years, seemed more like a newcomer, with his head down as if he wished to crawl into his desk.

"You should go back." The wizard buried his head deep into the textbook and pleaded, "It’s not good to let them gossip..."

"I haven’t done anything wrong, why should I be afraid of their gossip?" Liu Feifei pursed her lips, lifted her chin to unflinchingly meet the eyes observing her, be they innocent or malicious.

"But this might affect your club activities, even your year-end evaluation." Nicholas finally raised his head, looking insecure, "Rumor has a hundred mouths... I’ve been at this school for so long, you should listen to me."

"Does the school punish students who date?" Liu Feifei looked surprisedly at the male witch.

Nicholas was taken aback and shook his head.

"Then, what do I have to worry about?" The female witch replied lightly.

"I am a repeat student!" Nicholas emphasized with an irked tone, "A twice-repeated student!"

"But I’m the top student." Liu Feifei flashed a smile at him, "Instead of paying attention to those rumours, we could do a few more mock exams... Hmm, this is the exam you did this afternoon, I’ve marked it... Here, and here..."

Nicholas’ face finally fell.

"Old Yao is coming!" In the doorway of the classroom, a shrill squeal from Simple Sketch interrupted the ongoing tiff between the couple.

There was immediate chaos among the desks.

Those student witches who were copying reports hurriedly hid their incriminating evidence. They straightened up, preparing themselves for the next round of stormy admonishments.
