The patrolling members in various cloaks, hurrying and bustling gray-robed school workers, teaching assistants carrying all sorts of tools, black-robed professors with stern expressions and hands behind their backs. Almost every corner was a scene of suppressed yet fierce disputes, with all faces painted grim.

A wild demon had dared to infiltrate the core area of Jiuyou Academy, the heartland of the first university.

Almost all of the school’s external affairs staff could already imagine tomorrow morning’s newspaper headlines.

First, the school’s chartered plane was invaded by a demon; then, a swarm of wild Sand Hour bugs churned up a storm on campus. Without even allowing two days of peace, the school had managed to stir up yet another incident.

Like a sieve, anything could pass through!

Professor An imagined the school leaders’ roar, his plump round face all scrunched up. He was scurrying to and fro between collecting evidence and re-conducting a

Then he remembered the white-haired assistant standing beside him and a line he said not long ago.

"I remember...you mentioned earlier that this wild demon wasn’t caused by the Fishmen?" Zheng Qing, after a moment of hesitation, couldn’t suppress his curiosity and asked, "Isn’t this wild demon a transformation of a Kappa?"

"I am just a few years older than you all. You don’t need to use honorifics...I have yet to congratulate both of you for suppressing this wild demon." Zhang Yu smiled kindly and patiently explained, "The moment you sent the alarm, the university’s special agents entered the elder’s cave of the Fishmen tribe...By the time we arrived, the agent had confirmed that the Fishmen had nothing to do with this."

"But aren’t Kappas under the jurisdiction of the Fishmen?"

Zhang Yu turned his head to look at the wild fireflies in the orchard and after a pause, said, "The magical creatures in the lake are indeed under the jurisdiction of the Fishmen...but not every Kappa is a slave to the Fishmen."

Lin Guo seemed to have been lost in thought, suddenly proclaimed loudly, "Fishmen are not that scary...when Zheng Qing went on patrol last time, he went one-on-one with a Fishman that was this tall and sturdy..."

He exaggeratedly demonstrated the terrifying stature of the Fishman, his voice sounding very loud.

Zheng Qing coughed loudly a few times.

"I can see that you certainly live up to your reputation." Zhang Yu noticed the young wizard’s embarrassment, his gaze moved away from him and fell on the wild demon lying on the lawn, his voice full of praise. "This should be the second wild demon you have subdued this year...I suggest you take part in this month’s school hunting party’s freshman competition, you would certainly achieve great results with your skills."

Zheng Qing said nothing, but he felt his cheeks grow warm.

Fortunately, a familiar figure walked over, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"Zheng Qing...Why is there trouble again?!" Thomas’s large palm landed on Zheng Qing’s shoulder. Seeing the boy’s slightly surprised and uneasy look, he broke into a smile, "Just kidding...Are you hurt? Do you feel discomfort? The professors are still conducting further examinations, so they asked me first to come check on you two and see if you need anything..."

The two freshmen shook their heads at the same time.

"Even if there are no abnormalities, I suggest both of you stay the night at the school hospital," Zhang Yu’s voice remained calm, "After all, neither of you have extensive experience in dealing with wild demons alone...It’s possible you have hidden injuries without realizing it."

Zheng Qing shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, then looked back at Lin Guo.

The young wizard seemed to have discovered something. He moved towards Zheng Qing and examined him, from top to bottom.

Zheng Qing felt a bit creeped out under his scrutiny.

"Is something the matter?" He asked quietly.

Lin Guo furrowed his brows, staring at Zheng Qing’s face. After taking a long look, he exclaimed in surprise:

"Why are your eyes red?!"
