Hunting High School

"After a month, that reporter came to Jiuyou Academy again to continue her interview."

"This time, with the lessons learned from the past, the officers of the Student Union Office of Jiuyou College have become a little smarter. They no longer organize special welcome ceremonies, and when entertaining, they are all 'routine meals' with meat and vegetables, three meals a day One soup', no delicacies from mountains and seas are provided, and no extra male goblins are invited to accompany them. They are all elves from the school work committee. For the reporter's questions, the student union officers who accompanied the visit will answer all the questions. If you don't ask, you won't say a word. From the beginning to the end, we have been implementing the principles of 'doing things honestly', 'receiving guests cleanly' and 'resolutely not leaving anything to talk about'."

"It stands to reason that this performance should be regarded as well-behaved, with no flaws."

"But after the reporter went back, she quietly threw out another article: "Visiting under Surveillance——Re-discussing the Nine You College's Morbid Style of Study." This time, she did not attack the reception standards of the Nine You College, but rather It focused on the student union officers who accompanied the visit."

"According to what she said, from the moment she entered the school, she has been surrounded by a few indifferent student council officers. No matter where she goes, these officers always follow her, monitor her every move, and separate her from the majority of the nine. The students are artificially separated into two worlds—"Those students who answer my questions, every time they say a word, can't help but look at the cadres of the student union next to them with shrinking eyes, as if they are afraid that they will say the wrong thing!" The answers of the officers seem to be reciting the printed answers, which are the same and have no opinion'--and thus conclude that 'I saw a real person, but felt a hypocritical soul'. The walled college'' under the shadow of the school's sick style of study, who will save these poor children!'."

"After this article was published, Jiuyou College became a college ruled by spies for a while, and was questioned in the public opinion circle. And the female reporter transformed into a warrior who dared to expose the darkness of her alma mater without fear of danger. ..."

Listening to the story told by the wandering wizard, Zheng Qing was dumbfounded and had nothing to say.

He already knew that most of the news in the newspaper was sensationalism, each article presupposed his own position, and there were few objective and neutral comments. But I never thought that things would be so bad!

"The First University actually allowed this kind of newspaper to spread outside the campus?!" The young public finance student shouted indignantly, "If I were the principal, someone would have banned this newspaper a long time ago!"

"fake-nes!"

"It's completely nonsense, sensationalism!"

The wandering wizard looked at him with a smile, and he didn't open his mouth until the young wizard finished cursing and started to take a breath. He asked in an unhurried manner, "Can closing down the newspaper office eliminate the negative influence? Don't you hear the words of 'preventing others'?" Worse than Fangchuan', doesn't your simple and rude way of handling just confirm that reporter's article?"

Zheng blushed anxiously, as if he wanted to argue.

But the old wizard shook his hand lightly, and stopped him: "Let me finish the story first... this matter is not over yet!"

"Later, that reporter visited Jiuyou Academy one after another, and every time she could come up with something new - the third time, she wrote an article "Rote Memorization - The Style of Study That Kills the Creativity of Young Wizards", attacking Jiuyou Academy. There is an examination system of the college; for the fourth time, she wrote an article "The Monopoly of the Schoollords - Hereditary System in the Cloak of Commoners", focusing on the discussion that there is no difference between the "nobility" created by the exam and the "nobility" inherited by blood ; and the fifth time, she wrote an article "The Beginning of the Breakdown-From a Self-harming Repeater"...Do you hear something?"

Zheng Qing was filled with righteous indignation at first, but gradually began to meditate, and finally fell silent without saying a word.

Hearing the wandering wizard's question, he hesitated for a moment, and replied softly: "Although the reporter's point of view is worth discussing, she is actually looking for faults... She has been targeting Jiuyou Academy from the beginning to the end."

The old wizard sat cross-legged on the chair, rubbed the bottle of 'Golden Years' that was still half left, nodded noncommittally, and asked again: "Is there any more?"

"That reporter is so irritating," the young public finance student muttered, "I thought there was no deep hatred between Jiuyou Academy and Alpha Academy."

"You guys just threw curses at each other in the stands of the hunting ground a few days ago, and you forgot it so quickly?!" The old wizard raised his eyebrows in surprise, paused, and continued to ask: "So, after hearing the little story just now, , did you gain anything in the end?"

Zheng Qing pondered for a moment, and finally said with emotion: "Master Confucius is right, 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise. If they are close, they will not be inferior, and if they are far away, they will complain.'."

A strange laugh came from the wandering wizard's throat, he shook his head, and finally gave the answer: "You are all right, but they are not accurate, and that's not the point... The point of this story is that sometimes, no matter what you do, or How you do it makes no difference in the eyes of those who want to criticize."

"In their eyes, your fault is not your choice, but your existence."

"Your existence is the biggest mistake."

"So, here comes the problem." The old man straightened his back, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Zheng Qing with burning eyes: "Will you destroy yourself in order to correct the 'mistakes' that other people say?"

Zheng Qing blinked, and resolutely denied: "Of course not!! I'm not stupid... But, does this have anything to do with my reason for coming?"

He immediately raised his own doubts: "I just came to you to eliminate those messy rumors...I didn't intend to eliminate anything..."

"The reason for the rumors is because of your existence." The old man sighed slightly, and explained slowly: "At this time, no matter what you do or how you do it, in the eyes of the onlookers—you know, The 'gaze' itself carries a prejudice—they all seem a bit preposterous... If you don't do well, the rumors will gradually die down."

Zheng Qing looked at the wandering wizard with strange eyes.

for a long time.

He sighed: "I thought you were the best at fighting, but I ignored the magic of time... Sure enough, time is one of the greatest magics in this world."

"So, do you still insist on curbing those rumors?" The wandering wizard touched the brim of his own hat, but did not comment on the young wizard's words.

Zheng Qing nodded quickly without hesitation.

This is something that the Forgiveness Hunting Team has collectively decided on, and he doesn't plan to make any changes.

The old wizard tilted his head, and then gave his own opinion: "We don't have the ability to completely eliminate these rumors."

"Rumours are hard to kill, but they can be diverted."

"In this world, the most changeable thing is not a woman's mind, but the audience's attention."

"Wandering Bar can help you divert everyone's attention... For example, from your cheating, to the origin and breed of the big black cat, or the scandal about the drowning of Taylor's little wolf cub, or whether there are loopholes in the rules of the freshman competition ,wait."

"As for the fees... If you are willing to give the batch of harvest to the Wandering Bar for sale, I can make the decision and only charge you ten jade coins."

"Ten pieces." Zheng Qing smacked his lips, feeling distressed—this is a year's tuition fees for public-funded students.

"The premise is that your batch of harvest must be handed over to us for sale." The old wizard immediately reminded: "And this is already a preferential price for gold card customers." (To be continued)
