By late September, as the School Hunting Meet drew closer and closer, the plan for reforming the School Hunt Competition had also become increasingly clear and was gradually becoming a settled matter.
Under the guidance of many parties—including the Beta Town Post, club leaders, and the school—more and more students began shifting their attention away from whether reforms should happen and why, toward more concrete questions.
For example, how would the Hunting Committee select qualified hunting teams from the hundreds that might emerge?
And how could the fairness and impartiality of the selection process be guaranteed? Under the old system, teams advanced based on points from the hunting round robin. Every hunting team had a certain margin for error and the chance to make up for mistakes later. Would the new plan have such a reliable design?
Then there was the question of volunteer services if everyone participated in the competition. Would derivative School Hunt Competition events like the Hunting Dance Party and Hunting Painting Exhibition still be held? With a sharp rise in competition injuries, could the School Hospital prepare enough healer-rescuers? Would large numbers of hunting teams buying talismans and potions disrupt market stability on Puji Island and affect normal teaching order? Would the school's policies regarding Official Hunting Teams change?
Questions were gathered one after another and passed on to the Student Union and the Hunting Committee. Then class monitors and hunting team captains were summoned again and again to discuss the answers. The school barely participated in the entire process. Even when representatives attended, they were only a few teaching assistants and members of the School Labor Committee, and they never tried to seize the students' right to speak.
Only three days had passed in the fourth week, yet Zheng Qing had already attended six meetings.
