Chapter 882: Chapter 230: Commotion in the Observation Room"Itâs just too ridiculous!"
"Insider dealings, thereâs definitely something fishy going on here!"
"Even putting real Star Apes into D District wouldnât be too much... Why would the school do something that invites criticism like this?"
"Iâve always heard that some hunting teams will stop at nothing for a promotion, now Iâve really seen it!"
In the observation room, young wizards in charge of monitoring the screens were buzzing with comments and shaking their heads in disapproval. More than one voiced their disdain for a certain hunting team, as well as distrust toward the schoolâs relevant departments and personnel.
"The Absolution Hunting Team... Theyâre the ones who won the championship at this yearâs school hunting party for the freshmen, right?!" The witch from Alpha Academy was uncertain and looked to her companion for confirmation.
The nearby wizards all nodded affirmatively.
"Of course, itâs them," another white-robed warlock sneered sarcastically, "At the time of the competition, everyone was saying that their hunting team cheated by summoning Spiritual Beasts beyond what the Hunting Ground could handle... But who can blame them when Old Yao is in charge of this yearâs school hunt, he must have his reasons for doing so."
While he did not make any direct accusations, his words implied something that was rather intriguing. Even though the students from Jiuyou Academy present felt some dissatisfaction, the facts were right in front of them, and they felt it inappropriate to start an argument in front of everyone.
However, the Green Skin Parrot sitting atop the screen, acting as a spokesperson, felt compelled to speak up for the Absolution Hunting Team.
"Those lads are good kids! How can one be so prejudiced?" The Green Skin Parrot flapped its wings, screeching noisily. Its grating voice echoed in the observation room, irritating everyone present.
"Indeed, all good kids... I heard when their D&K store on Pedestrian Street had its grand opening, they even invited you to attend the ceremony, right?" A Blue Gown in the back row of the observation room said with a smirk, addressing the Green Skin Parrot.
"Yes, yes! I told you they were good kids!" The Green Skin Parrot flapped its wings excitedly, adding, "Just like the little wizard who leads them, every time he passes by the front desk of the office building, he always brings me a big handful of tasty grass seeds... None of you have that kind of awareness!"
The Third Grade of Youjiu College student standing at the base of the screen slapped his face, covering his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"Oh, so thatâs how it is!"
The other wizards in the observation room suddenly understood and their looks toward the screen and that wizard became even more hostile.
Most young people at the college still held dreams and aspirations for the future. Therefore, they were extremely intolerant of some âmethodologiesâ borrowed from society. Clearly, the actions of the young wizard from the Absolution Hunting Team, who had âcourted favor with the Green Skin Parrot,â seemed no different than âbriberyâ in the eyes of some.
The parrotâs misguided defense opened the floodgates for the young wizards to express their opinions.
"Well well, since the school hunt, thereâs been rumors in our college that the captain of the Absolution Hunting Team is Old Yaoâs illegitimate child, which is why they always receive favors from the school... Looking at it now, the rumor seems very likely to be true, huh?"
"The captain of the Absolution Hunting Team? Isnât that the freshman named Zheng Qing? I remember he is a recipient of the Merlin Medal; he canât be that bad, can he?"
"If he has a Big Wizard as a dad, a third-tier Merlin Medal probably wouldnât be too difficult to get, right?"
"But if heâs an illegitimate child, whose illegitimate child is he? Hasnât there been a rumor the whole time in school that Old Yao fancies Lady Bella from the school hospital? If that lady hears this rumor, might she smash Old Yaoâs head in?" The short-statured witch who said this seemed to imagine such a scene and couldnât help but laugh out loud.
"It doesnât necessarily have to be Old Yaoâs illegitimate child, it could also be the child of some high-ranking individual from the Mage Alliance." A skinny, tall male wizard from Jiuyou Academy disagreed, shaking his head while adding, "Iâve seen Zheng Qing, heâs a very spirited young man... he doesnât resemble Dean Yao in the slightest."
"Talking behind Old Yaoâs back like this, arenât you afraid heâll curse you by drawing a circle?" A witch with slightly yellow hair asked weakly from the outermost edge.
She was dressed in a white robe with just two black edges embroidered around the neckline, looking somewhat timid.
However, her concerns did not resonate with everyone else.
"If a Big Wizard has to draw a circle to curse us, that Big Wizardâs skills are pretty lousy!" The Blue Gown wizard who spoke first pursed his lips, his tone indifferent, yet his eyes betrayed a hint of excitement, "Besides, being able to measure our abilities against a Big Wizard before becoming a Registered wizard, what an excellent opportunity... It couldnât be better!"
"Lunatic," murmured a witch from Alpha Academy, giving the Blue Gown wizard a look as if he were a cockroach.
Seeing the discussion sliding toward an uncontrollable direction, the Veteran from Youjiu College who was in charge of the observation room finally spoke up, interrupting the ongoing buzz of conversation behind him.
He first reassured the witch with slightly yellow hair, "If Old Yao cared about everyoneâs gossip, he wouldnât let us call him Old Yao... You can be completely assured of that."
"Of course, that doesnât mean we can freely disregard the dignity of a Big Wizard," he continued.
Saying this, he cast a stern glance at the young wizards behind him.
As a student of Youjiu Academy, it was his duty to uphold the dignity of his dean, "So, from now on, no more idle talk... Donât forget your responsibilities. You need to be accountable for every student participating in the winter hunt. This room isnât a place to joke around or discuss gossip."
"If you really canât suppress that curiosity, submit a request to me... Iâll immediately ask him to step out and find a real corner to chat to his heartâs content," he added.
Such a warning could not be taken at just face value.
Not one of the students standing in that observation room was a fool. So after hearing the words of the Veteran in charge of the task, everyone immediately quieted down.
Order in the observation room was restored to how it was a few minutes earlier.
But soon, there was a slight disturbance again in the order of the observation room.
"Hey, whatâs that guy doing?" A witch from Alpha Academy stretched out her arm, pointing at the screen on D Alpha, her voice betraying a hint of unease, "Why is he taking out so many talismans? What kind are they?" seaĘá´h thŃ NovelĆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"If Iâm not mistaken... those are explosion charms, right?" A student from Atlas Academy adjusted his glasses, his eyes gleaming with zeal, "By the gods above!"
"Explosion charms?!"
"So many explosion charms could obliterate the entire D Alpha Hunting Ground from the Silent Forest!"
Everyone in the observation room exchanged looks.
