Chapter 1333 - 80: Three Paper Cranes
Chapter 1333: Chapter 80: Three Paper CranesThe night Quanke came back to school from the fair, three paper cranes flew out of Dormitory 403 of Jiuyou Academy.
One flew to the Alpha Fortress and landed on Lin Guo’s bedside. Zheng Qing told the little warlock some clues about black sheep. Of course, he did not mention Xiao Xiao’s speculation to the little warlock, nor did he say anything about the Outer God. He merely conveyed Professor Garcia’s message, mentioning that longevity tortoises on the east shore of Linzhong Lake had seen a black sheep fighting with a cat.
Because Lin Guo was also the manager of the Absolution Hunting Team, Zheng Qing simultaneously instructed him to convene all members of the hunting team and hold a meeting the next day in Dormitory 403 to discuss the matter.
The second paper crane flew to the Beta Town Pedestrian Street,
"Especially now when the school is understaffed."
"But rest assured, the school won’t ignore any risk, and the School Works Committee will deal with this matter as quickly as possible."
Zheng Qing didn’t wait to hear the end and left in a huff, pulling Lin Guo with him. He had long known that he shouldn’t have too much confidence in the efficiency of the School Works Committee, but he still overestimated the impact of his letter and underestimated the Committee’s sensitivity to risks.
"We’ll have to resolve this ourselves in the end," the young scholarship student said to his classmate Lin Guo as they left the building of the School Works Committee.
Three days had passed since the Quankela Fair, and the night before last, the Absolution Hunting Team had already held a full meeting. This included Monk Shi Yuan, who was often absent, and Elder Zhang Da, who had been very busy recently, both of whom attended without fail.
The meeting approved the joint suggestion of Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao—to focus the Absolution Hunting Team’s training for the next month on ’searching’ and ’anti-demon’ activities, and it was also decided to hold the training on the East Side of Linzhong Lake, outside the Lakefront Corridor.
There was an open scrubland area and it was close to the Tortoise Habitat on the East Shore of the lake.
Today was Sunday, and the training at the lakeshore had already been ongoing for two days, but without any results. The tortoises in the mud pond paid no heed to the clamorous young wizards ashore. It was lucky Xiao Xiao had prepared a bunch of Copper Coins, occasionally throwing some to entice the tortoises; otherwise, the hunters of Absolution might spend an entire afternoon without seeing a single tortoise bubble rise.
Especially now as summer was gradually approaching and the weather was getting hot, those creatures clad in clumsy thick shells always preferred to hide in the cool depths of the mud and were reluctant to surface and feel the heat waves of summer.
When Zheng Qing and Lin Guo arrived at today’s training ground, the other members of the hunting team were already there.
From a distance, he heard Xin Fat Man complaining about the tortoises’ habits:
"...Think about it, they hibernate in winter, lying motionless under the mud pond; in summer they need to cool off, still lying motionless under the mud pond. Does this world ever see them move?"
The young scholarship student couldn’t help but laugh.
"That’s why Doctor planned the training for the afternoon," he replied loudly. "The sun isn’t as harsh then, and many tortoises choose to surface around that time..."
The circle of hunters turned their heads, looking towards the newcomers.
"What did the School Works Committee say?" Xiao Xiao was the first to ask.
The mention of that brought a surge of anger in Zheng Qing.
"They just said they would deal with it as soon as possible," Zheng Qing cursed softly, then said indignantly, "It seems that the complaint we filed with the student union after your goat milk report last time had no effect... perhaps next time we should complain to the Professor Joint Meeting."
