Monster Hunting High School

"I?"

"Illusion?"

Zheng Qing was a little confused chewing on these two words.

Of course, he was also confused now that he was hanging in the air.

The voice echoing above the altar did not pause for a moment because of the boy's surprise, and continued to explain in its mechanical and dull tone: "--You are very special. I realized this when you entered my laboratory in your freshman year. But I didn't have any other ideas at the time, just because of the good relationship with the Moon Council, because you came to my laboratory with a letter of introduction from Councillor Su. Of course, I didn't realize that your relationship with Councillor Su was so complicated..."

"What happened next?" Zheng Qing had to interrupt the professor's slightly off explanation.

"Then you went to the Black Prison."

Professor Monteria calmly repeated his thoughts, as if he was talking about someone else: "- When you walked out of the Black Prison, I realized that you were more important than I thought. So we need you. Coincidentally, because of some extra help, our experiment has made great progress. We have developed an inhibitor that can curb the symptoms of physical collapse caused by the invasion of demon blood. Gan Ning knew my thoughts and knew that I was still hesitating. So he helped me make up my mind and planted a spirit seed in you at that dinner.

His idea is very simple. You become our experimental subject In order to obtain the inhibitor to save your life, you must reach a certain degree of cooperation with us... Maybe there may be some unpleasantness at the beginning, but this matter will eventually develop in the direction of "cooperation is beneficial to both sides". Because the spirit seed will greatly improve your physical strength and magic affinity, and even help you smoothly pass the risk period of advancement. "

"But I don't need an inhibitor."

Zheng Qing slowly followed the professor's thoughts, and speculated with a bit of realization: "...Then do you think that the reason why I didn't lose control or collapse of my physical body is because your experimental plan is correct?"

The mechanical sound above the altar fell silent.

The center of the altar.

The witch, who had not moved at all, nodded slightly, but still didn't speak.

"Really... It's a sad answer."

Zheng Qing continued to analyze with a bit of pity and gloating: "So, you think your experiment is successful, and then you start to implement a large-scale transformation plan internally? Gan Ning? Thomas? Who else accepted the transformation?"

This time, the professor denied the boy's guess.

"No, none of them."

The voice echoing in the cave was as calm as ever: "In the past, we have conducted experiments on sub-intelligent races, and this time is naturally the same. However, although the situation of the ogres transformed according to the new plan has been greatly improved compared to the past, they still cannot avoid the result of physical collapse. As a result of internal discussions, everyone believes that the most likely possibility is that the materials of the experimental subjects are too inferior and cannot meet the minimum requirements of a stable state. In other words, the experimental subjects of the new plan need wizards at least above your level to be successful."

"Wow... It's not easy to find 'materials' like me."

The boy's tone was a bit sympathetic - this was not sarcasm at all, because he knew what his situation was - this was no longer the level of 'difficult to find', but the situation where there was no second exception.

The crows naturally didn't know the boy's true situation.

But adhering to the strategy of 'predicting the enemy's leniency', they still put forward a series of conditions for the experimental subjects who met the transformation requirements: such as being young, having high talent (being a public-funded student for two consecutive years), being male, etc.

However, after screening, there were only a few crows that met the requirements, and all of them were the most outstanding juniors in the organization.

"- Although everyone believes that the probability of success of the experiment is very high, it is still too risky to use the future of the organization for the experiment."

Professor Monteria repeated the past story lightly: "So, in the end, I chose myself. This is not a crazy gamble, but the result of careful consideration. As a senior registered wizard with rich experience and knowledge reserves, as the highest person in charge of the entire experimental project, I know the details and taboos of the experiment better than anyone else, and compared with those juniors, I have a stronger control over magic power, and there is room for remedy even if something goes wrong... The only shortcoming is that I am no longer young. This can be achieved by using certain potions to maintain a young and healthy body in the short term."

The boy hanging in the air opened his mouth.

In the end, he couldn't say anything.

Unconsciously, he suddenly thought of Professor Monteria's other identity-Vice President of the Marginal College-even if it is for rigorous considerations, sacrifice is still sacrifice, which is probably because he meets the characteristics of the bottom of the margin.

The next development was within Zheng Qing's expectations.

"——The result of the transformation is not as good as expected, but it is not particularly bad either."

The voice reverberating above the altar maintained its usual mechanical feel, but now it made people feel much more comfortable: "With the help of the demon's flesh and blood, I successfully broke free from the shackles and advanced to a great wizard. At first, everything went so smoothly. After the advancement, I was in very good condition, from the quality of magic power to the spiritual transformation, without any signs of infection. But this perfect state only lasted for a few weeks... My body suddenly began to age faster. Does it sound a bit like the side effects of 'Edge Type 1'? Yes, many of our laboratory's technologies are used in Edge Type 1. The young people in the laboratory want to use this method to formula, gather the power of the entire school to solve this problem together - of course, this is a long-term solution.

As for the short-term solution, I first tried various potions and magic rituals, including those in the field of black magic. The results were not satisfactory. The collapse of the physical body continued. Until the end, we obtained the magic of absorbing vitality from the artificial philosopher's stone through trading... In this way, the physical body can be maintained to a certain extent.

Then this semester, you can always hear some terrible accidents in the Silent Forest. "

"What does this have to do with me..." The boy murmured, but he already knew the answer in his heart.

"You are the 'mid-term solution' they gave me."

Professor Monteria's mechanical voice seemed to be a little more gentle, or it might just be Zheng Qing's illusion: "-Because you are the only 'completely successful' experimental subject in the entire transformation project. So the laboratory inferred that you may have some special substances in your body that can offset the erosion of the demon bloodline. So we tried various ways to get your blood and flesh. This is difficult and very dangerous... It is easy to alarm the school. "
