High School of Demon Hunting-Chapter 378 - 47 Poor Excuse_1

The Wednesday morning slot was originally for the Philosophy of Magic class, but Astronomy Class 08-1 had already taken this class on Monday. Therefore, Zheng Qing and the other students were very curious as to how Professor Yao would handle this seemingly conflicting situation.

Xin the Fat Man pessimistically speculated that the academy would assign another professor for the spell class to substitute for Professor Yao. But this theory was unanimously negatively criticized by Xiao Xiao and Zhang Ji Xin.

"He’s our class counselor!" Zhang Ji Xin slapped the law book in his hands, emphasizing, "Even if they have to switch professors, they should switch the professor of this Philosophy of Magic class... they can’t change our class schedule."

"You know he is the Dean of Jiu You College, he has the authority to temporarily adjust the class schedule," Xiao Xiao added from the side: The ’First University Management Regulations’ clearly defines the power of the dean... Maybe he will lecture all philosophy class students about the guarding curse this semester."

"What do you think?" Xin the Fat Man turned his head towards Zheng Qing, trying to gain the support of others: "What do you think Professor Yao will teach in this class?"

"What?" Zheng Qing raised his head dreamily, as if he had just heard his companions debating, and vaguely replied, "It could be anything... anything..."

"Focus! Focus!" Xin the Fat Man snapped his fingers several times in front of Zheng Qing, raising his voice slightly: "Just because Elena is coming to class today doesn’t mean you have to lose your soul!"

The statement struck a chord with all his young paid peers.

Indeed, today the gypsy witch actually came to class against all odds, which made Zheng Qing slightly bewildered. He was just thinking about how to make casual conversation with Elena and then find a way to give her the skirt he had bought a long time ago.

But these secret thoughts obviously couldn’t be revealed to others.

Zheng Qing’s face suddenly turned red, and his eyes immediately became a lot clearer.

"Nonsense!" He denied in a whisper, then hesitated for a moment before adding, "I was just thinking about when I should get the transformation potion from Professor Li... you know, it’s early October now, and maybe I should dwell on my own catastrophe a bit before the werewolves transform."

Even he himself believed what he had said.

Xin the Fat Man naturally didn’t harbor any more doubts.

Since Professor Yao didn’t impose a gag order on Zheng Qing, a few male students learned about Professor Yi’s treatment plan for Zheng Qing in class yesterday afternoon.

Almost everyone expressed some form of envy.

After all, aside from those born into ancient wizard nobility, there are very few wizards who can begin to learn transformation magic in their freshman year. Not to mention having access to free transformation potions.

No wonder Doctor Xiao guessed that the Academy might have recently robbed several nests of ancient giant dragons, hence having too much money and nowhere to spend it.

Today was no exception.

After Zheng Qing reopened the topic, the boys quickly began to enthusiastically discuss when Zheng Qing should drink the transformation potion, what animal he would transform into, whether they should take some commemorative photos, whether they should buy some pet food from Beta Town in advance, and many other disjointed topics.

The young paid student finally couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted the topic when it shifted to ’if Zheng Qing becomes a cockroach, will he give birth to a bunch of offspring within twelve hours’.

"Class is about to start!" Zheng Qing abruptly pushed several boys huddled together away and said very firmly, "I would never be a cockroach... So, shut up and don’t discuss it anymore."

Just then, the stick figure drawing behind the door started to shout.

Xin the Fat Man shrugged his shoulders, gave up arguing further, and returned to his seat.

This relieved Zheng Qing a lot.

He couldn’t help but quietly turned his head and sneaked a peek at the gypsy witch sitting in another corner of the classroom.

Elena seemed to have returned to her state on the special plane to school, leaning against the wall as if dozing off, looking very tired.

"If you’re really concerned, why don’t you go and ask... The seat next to her is empty." Xiao Xiao’s voice suddenly rang in Zheng Qing’s ear.

"Wh...what?!" Zheng Qing immediately turned his head, arguing, "What are you talking about, I don’t understand... I was just looking to see if Professor Yao had come in."

Xiao Xiao tilted his head, his gaze peering over the top of his black-rimmed glasses, scrutinizing the young paid student.

For a long time.

It was not until Professor Yao briskly walked onto the podium that Doctor Xiao snorted from his nose:

"Whatever... do whatever you want."

Zheng Qing collapsed dejectedly onto the desk.

...

...

Contrary to the boys’ guesses, Professor Yao’s solution to the problem of one person taking two different classes at the same time is very simple and crude.

But it is also very fitting for the dean of Jiuyou college.

He somehow used a spell to clone himself into another ’Professor Yao’ - a ’Professor Yao’ that was so lifelike that all the students couldn’t tell the difference.

Both Professor Yaos stood on the podium at the same time, conjuring an atmosphere as if they were performing a stand-up comedy.

One of the Professor Yaos happily announced that he had applied for a new small classroom, where he could give extra lessons to the students from astronomy 08-1 class who had fallen behind in their spell class.

The other Professor Yao seized the opportunity to tell the students attending the Philosophy of Magic class that the spacious west 306 classroom now fully solely belonged to them, so they could sit more relaxed and more comfortably.

This fun approach brought the classroom to life.

"Maybe Professor Yao has created a new way of teaching," many people joked among themselves while the students from the astronomy class 08-1 were changing rooms.

Zheng Qing and his companions didn’t join them.

They were discussing the issue of applying for club interviews with the Club Union in the afternoon.

Just as Zheng Qing was engrossed in the discussion, the boys around him suddenly fell silent.

"Hurry up and say it," the young paid student urged, "You guys didn’t finish just now, what should we do after the Hunting Team is set up, do I need to make an appointment with the coach a week in advance..."

No one picked up the conversation.

All the boys looked at Zheng Qing with strange and peculiar eyes, making him almost think there was a flower growing on his face.

Just when he was getting a bit annoyed, a faint, yet familiar fragrance wafted into his nostrils, causing him to freeze on the spot.

"I just remembered, The Book Mountain Library still has a shelf of books that need to be arranged in order today." Xiao Xiao quickly picked up the books and notepads on the table, stuffed them into his robe, and then picked up the black notebook, excused himself, and left.

"Ah! My brother said he wants to give me special training, I almost forgot..." Zhang Ji Xin also quickly thought of an excuse, ran out of the classroom with a smile on his face.

"Wait for me, wait." Xin the Fat Man agilely followed the two, but still didn’t forget to turn back and explain to his roommate with a playful smile, "You know, I have to go with the editor for a location visit..."
