In an ancient castle built around a huge mountain.
In the magnificent auditorium, the floor is paved with colorful gems, and the full moon and stars adorn the ceiling.
The long circular table was filled with all kinds of food, and the rich aroma of food filled the air.
Basil leaves with beef ribs, cream soup, caviar, grilled lamb chops, baguettes, cheese baked ham, salad, prawns, pasta, macaroni, orange sparkling water, grilled foie gras, fish soup...
The students swallowed and forced themselves not to touch the dishes.
Because...
At this moment, in the center of the auditorium, a sloppy old man wearing a tattered robe was floating among the stars, overlooking the people below.
From Zhang Guangmu's point of view, this old man's state was very strange. ·
Under the obviously droopy eyelids, his eyes were dull, but his complexion was rosy, his voice was like a bell, and his body seemed to be very healthy.
"For thousands of years, Four Great Academies, which belongs to Demon Hunting Circle, has been fighting openly and secretly, but together they have been guarding the last [Hope Source Fire] of mankind."
The sloppy old man said unhurriedly, "And all of you here are the most talented beings in the new generation of mankind."
"You will continue to grow in learning and struggle until you become a qualified Demon Hunting Sorcerer!"
Zhang Guangmu on the professor's chair and the rest of his colleagues who were sitting upright had completely different styles.
He looked at the many freshmen present. There was no joy or expectation in his eyes, and there was only impatience on his face.
Deep down in his heart, Zhang Guangmu's thinking was extremely clear - the sloppy old principal did not make a slip of the tongue just now.
Study and fight!
These are the two beliefs that Demon Hunting Academy has remained unchanged for thousands of years!
It's not that the leaders of the four courtyards have collective cerebral palsy and want to fight among themselves at this critical moment for mankind, but because...
Materials are insufficient and the population must be reduced so that students must grow into elites as quickly as possible.
This is the cruelest truth.
Zhang Guangmu Just taking a glance at the auditorium, it was clear that the many foods on the long table seemed to be of various types and extremely rich, but in fact the portions were completely insufficient!
This situation was particularly clear in the student seats - it was enough to allow all students to eat 60% full.
Having said this, the old man shook his hand and held something that looked more like a cane than a staff. Then the light and shadow converged. Amidst the exclamations of a group of teenagers, a silver jade stone as tall as one person appeared out of thin air in the middle of the hall.
"Next, the beginner whose name is read should step forward and touch this piece [Demon Forged Jade]!"
"It will divide you into different colleges based on your individual potential."
To be honest, Zhang Guangmu is not very surprised by this method of retrieving objects from the void, not to mention that he himself has mastered more advanced methods in many Subconscious Film World, even in Real World, that Black jade bracelet that everyone has, also integrates space folding and stable storage functions - however, that thing can only be used to store the general currency Dragon Shield.
Compared with [Demon Forged Jade] used to divide colleges, Zhang Guangmu cares more about this old principal who does not appear on the Actor list but rules the four major Demon Hunting Academy...
Data intelligent life?
A simple plot bug?
Or is this principal just a puppet with a controller behind him?
In the absence of clues, it is still too difficult to make correct inferences.
Besides...
Compared with these trivial doubts, Zhang Guangmu cares more about the words condensed by a string of dark flames floating in front of his eyes just now.
How could you curse yourself to death as soon as you get there?
It's so outrageous!
I can't explain it clearly, but it would be nice to give some clues...
That's okay too.
It's just that the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth.
Be vigilant, concentrate, and take advantage of the situation!
"Hmph."
Zhang Guangmu snorted, as if he was disgusted with this formal sorting ceremony.
Seeing this, the professors and instructors next to him had different expressions, most of them had an expression of "This person is really a loser."
Zhang Guangmu also knew that he would get such a response if he did this, but he decided to do it anyway.
One of the reasons is that my Character Setting has this kind of virtue, and the second reason...
The purpose is to leave an impression in the minds of these freshmen that they are not easy to mess with, and then give a small reversal, so that it will be easier to control.
People often say that leaving a good first impression is the most important, but the actual application of psychology is exactly the opposite.
On the contrary...
The sloppy old principal's voice kept echoing in my ears, with a steady volume like a robot. Even after announcing his name for a long time, his mouth didn't go dry.
"Beginner, Chang Yan..."
"Azure Blue Academy, only wisdom lasts forever!"
"Beginner, Yang Changdong..."
"Crimson Academy, bravery comes first!"
"Beginner, Kanazawa Sayuri..."
"Golden Academy, honor is above all else!"
"Isaac Barnard, the Beginner..."
"Pitch Black Academy, fight for the continuation of humanity!"
Zhang Guangmu's eyes were as cold as a knife, passing over the beginners below.
The so-called "beginners" refer specifically to first-year students.
The second-year old students are the [Guardians].
The third-year graduates will be called [Demon Hunter].
Many newcomers who have just turned sixteen come to the Demon Hunting Academy with great expectations and obtain the first-year status of [Beginner], thinking that they can live a peaceful life without having to worry about Demon Disaster.
This entrance ceremony and sorting ceremony were the first dreams they had.
Among the new students, Zhang Guangmu saw a young man he was more concerned about.
Fang Yi!
One of this year's supernovas is temporarily ranked Seventh position in this year's provisional Seven Stars list.
As for whether this person can overtake "Shiina Hayate" in the subsequent rankings, it depends on his performance in this Subconscious Film.
Zhang Guangmu reacted as if he was tired of the old principal's speech. He lowered his eyes slightly and stroked the kitten in his arms expressionlessly.
"Meow~"
It is worth mentioning that Mooncake turned into a black cat in this world.
Even so, she is still Appearance Value a very tall little black cat.
The freshmen all turned their attention to the professor's chair.
Half of them were looking at Mooncake, and half were looking at Zhang Guangmu.
"The cat is so cute. If you want to touch it, just touch it!"
"I advise you not to seek death! According to my experience, its owner should be someone we can't afford to offend!"
"This man is so brave... He doesn't even give the principal face... Hey! Is he yawning?"
"Zhang Guangmu, Pitch Black Academy is the youngest dean in history. It is said that he is not yet thirty years old."
"Hey?! Who is [Black Flame Demon Hunter]? I heard he is super powerful! No wonder he is so arrogant!"
Well, generally speaking, "under thirty years old" is usually used to refer to those over the age of twenty.
In this world, Zhang Guangmu is a well-known young man Demon Hunter who has just turned twenty-seven but is quite famous.
The other Subconscious Actor marked with red letters are in similar situations.
People like Bai Yongsheng, Tang Lanshan, and Sang Shenyou were all added about ten years old and assigned a higher status.
But...
As a professor of the Demon Hunting Academy, even at forty years old, he is still quite young.
Zhang Guangmu, who is in his twenties, stands out from the crowd.
The only thing he wasn't satisfied with was...
The word "Magic Hunter" sounds the same as "Warcraft" and is prone to ambiguity.
But when it comes to paper letters, when written in words, they look quite handsome at first glance, and the style is not bad.
The sorting ceremony is extremely efficient. Each new student can touch it and see what color of light Demon Forged Jade emits to determine the sorting result. Therefore, this session ends quickly, followed by the banquet session.
Zhang Guangmu Although he ate at a slow pace, he maintained his preoccupied attitude throughout the whole process and kept away strangers.
This performance seemed to be killing boring time, but in fact, in the process, he analyzed his current situation much more clearly.
Zhang Guangmu now has a high status and is relatively famous. He is Lao Shizi's [Black Flame Demon Hunter]. In fact, he is also facing many crises at the same time.
The temporarily mounted False Memory told Zhang Guangmu that the troubles he needed to face, in addition to the mysterious death announcement formed by the black flames, were also complicated matters such as interest disputes with other colleges, competition for supplies, and talent training.
Some career troubles can be prioritized later.
The point is that others may not have paid attention to it, but Zhang Guangmu clearly noticed that when the new student Fang Yi was being sorted, Demon Forged Jade was obviously stuck for a while before he was sorted into the Pitch Black Academy where he was.
Normally, this is typical protagonist treatment, right?
But Fang Yi is on the list of Actor in "Demon Hunting Academy", and the identity label is [High-quality new student of the Demon Hunting Academy].
Director This is a bit too much!
Even if you just follow the Riddler's tricks, you even have to hide Protagonist Identity?
