Monster Hunting High School

The black gem cat frowned and entered the Sakura Tavern with a lot of thoughts. It was thinking about the relationship between the black robes, Eclipse, and Kolma, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't find the connection between the nouns. association.

He looked up and saw the owner of the tavern.

It froze again.

Because Colma looks very different today than usual. Although she is still sitting behind the bar, there is no open bottle of rum in front of her, nor is she playing tarot cards, but reading a book!

Yes, in my impression, this was the first time Zheng Qian saw Kolma reading.

A few little stars were chasing each other under the ceiling, scattering silver-white starlight throughout the room, making the witch's silver hair shine particularly brightly. She pursed her lips, held a quill in her hand, and read the book with a serious expression. Uppercut and outline.

"sit."

The witch didn't even raise her head and gave concise instructions.

The black gem cat climbed up to the bar and sat obediently next to the snack plate. He stretched his neck and tried to peek at what book the witch was reading, but as far as he could see, all the words on the page were blurry and could not be read clearly.

It tried hard for a while with its eyes open before realizing that this was probably some kind of anti-peeping magic, which meant that the owner of the tavern didn't want it to see what was in the book.

The black gem cat retracted its neck angrily.

It is just an ordinary kitten. When a great wizard tactfully restricts it from doing certain things, it should be wise to obey the great wizard's arrangements.

But after waiting for a long time, the witch was still busy with her business. The black gem cat became a little anxious, and finally couldn't help asking: "What happened to those black robes just now?"

"The wizard of the school's divination team." The witch answered simply and clearly, without raising her head.

"Divination team? Why are the people from the school's fortune telling team looking for you?"

"Because I was the only witness and they needed leads to pursue."

"Witnesses?" The black gem cat perked up, and its ears immediately stood up. It felt like it was getting close to some truth: "What witnesses? What are they hunting for?"

Kolma's eyes finally moved away from the books and fell on the fist-sized black cat.

"They are hunting for Professor Monteria, and I am the last person who saw the professor." She said these words in a calm tone, completely ignoring the puzzled expression on the black gem cat's face.

"Hunting for Professor Monteria?"

The kitten raised his paws and wiped his ears, thinking that he was hallucinating: "Is that Professor Monteria from the other vice-dean on the edge? Our magic text professor?"

"If you don't have another magic text professor, yes, it's him." The witch answered affirmatively.

The black gem cat fell completely silent.

Although it is essentially a stone and sometimes a little slow to respond, that does not mean it is stupid.

After a while, the Black Jewel Cat sorted out his thoughts and asked in a low voice the first thing he didn't understand: "You... I mean, why are they hunting down Professor Monteria?"

"Because he took advantage of the solar eclipse to attack me."

Korma didn't seem to worry about how much trouble these answers would bring to the black gem cat. He answered carefully without any perfunctory: "——Just a few hours ago, the aftermath of our fight almost destroyed the entire Gu Diao. Street No. 33... Everything you see now is the result of the school's use of magic to restore it. The good news is that Professor Monteria may still remember that he is the vice president of Fringe College and has not treated other North Districts. The wizard struck hard, so no one died in the conflict."

The black gem cat unconsciously raised its voice and shouted: "Is he crazy? Attacked you? Why?"

Korma looked up and down the black gem cat with interest.

"There are a few guesses, but they may not be correct."

She raised three fingers and bent them one by one: "——Maybe he thinks that without me, he can become the dean of the Edge College; maybe he thinks that without me, the school will give another special configuration to Him; or, he really just came to visit me on an impromptu basis tonight, but accidentally got out of control. "

The first two possibilities are easy to understand.

"What does 'accidentally lose control' mean?" The black gem cat's voice was a little hoarse, and its body sat upright. It was vaguely aware of something, but was not sure yet.

The witch's lips curled up slightly.

"It's just like you thought." She looked down at the book at hand again and said in a calm tone: "I remember that you worked as an assistant in his laboratory before. What is the name of his laboratory?"

"High-level magic text and bloodline research laboratory."

"Yes... bloodline research. The most dangerous and most easily out-of-control magical research in the world." The witch let out a long sigh, but never said the possibility that the black gem cat had guessed.

crow!

It's a crow!

Professor Monteria is the big crow hiding in the school!

The black gem cat roared in his mind, countless thoughts collided with each other, and finally tore through the hazy veil that had been blocking its eyes - it couldn't wait to bring this big news back to the original guy overnight It couldn't sleep well, but at the same time, it wanted to know the whereabouts of Monteria.

"Where is Professor Monteria now?"

"Of course I'm hiding." The witch shook her head, calmly as if talking about other people's affairs: "——He underestimated the completion of my real body, so he missed it. After causing such a big trouble, the school must not be able to Stay, as for other places..."

She raised her head again and looked outside the tavern.

The black gem cat followed her line of sight and looked out the window, finally realizing that there were two moons in the sky tonight. It was just that the real moon was too dim and small, and was completely submerged in the brilliance of the other moon.

"...The school is trying its best to track down his whereabouts, but as far as I know, the investigation is still restrained and controlled within a certain range. After all, the defection of a great wizard at the level of vice-dean is something that has never happened in the history of the First University. This level of scandal is enough to make the entire alliance in chaos... cough, cough, cough, cough!"

She suddenly coughed violently, and her face turned visibly gray.

The black gem cat looked at her worriedly.

"-Are you injured? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Knowing that these were all nonsense, it still couldn't help but say: "If the money is not enough, I can lend you some."

The wizards in the North District have always been poor, this is the consensus of everyone, and Korma, who needs to take care of such a large stall, naturally can't save any money.

This made it wonder if the witch was just holding on here because she had no money.

As it happens, someone had made a few "big arms orders" this semester, and his wallet was bulging. Anyway, the Black Gem Cat didn't need to pay, so it was naturally generous.
