Vol 5 Chapter 15: Back to school

February 2nd, 4:40 pm.
With a gray cloth bag hanging on his waist, Zheng Qing slipped into the basement quietly and embarked on the dark road back to school.
Of course, this time he set out on his own.
This was the third time he used the clock channel, and it was the first time he used this long-distance travel magic without the assistance of other wizards.
In order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, Zheng Qing also specifically asked Deng Xiaoxian to use the compound decoction as a substitute for his parents to send him to the station. Everything is reasonable-in fact, he can also choose a simpler way in the matter of leaving home, such as letting his family have a dream or performing an illusion. But any simple method has some sequelae.
But Zheng Qing didn't want to cause his parents to become mentally weak or have neurological disorders just because he went to school. So he would rather waste a little more effort on this matter.
At 4:44 minutes and 30 seconds, a light blue light suddenly appeared in the small space of the basement.
The faint blue light outlines the shape of a clock on the iron door of the basement.
The dial, the hands, and the faint "click" and "click" sound.
Zheng Qing twisted the handle of the iron door and pulled it hard.
Behind the door is not the messy clutter in the basement, but a slender, brass pendulum. Behind the pendulum is a wooden door decorated with colorful opaque glass.
At this moment, the pendulum has stopped swinging, but there is still a faint tremor in the clock.
Zheng Qing quickly rounded the pendulum and pushed open the wooden door.
Behind him came the loud closing sound of the basement iron door.
"16:45, from Yunhua Community, Astronomy Class 08-1 of Jiuyou College, Zheng Qing." A tired and perfunctory voice came into Zheng Qing's ears, before he recovered, that The voice urged roughly: "You have returned to the first university. Please protect your ears and close the door of the'Grandfather Clock' as soon as possible."
It was a lanky, slightly hunched gray robe wizard.
He held a silver-white pocket watch in one hand and a huge note board in his arms. Several feather pens of different colors were dancing happily on that board.
Noting the curious gaze of the young wizard, the gray-robed school worker shook his pocket watch's hand back and emphasized: "Close the door and cover your ears!"
Zheng Qing could understand the door that closed the grandfather clock. He turned his hand back and closed the wooden door embedded with stained glass.
But protecting your ears is a bit confusing.
Zheng Qing obediently covered her ears while thinking.
"clang!!!……"
The deafening bell shattered Zheng Qing's doubts and also buzzed his head. Even though he had blocked his ears tightly with his hands, he still could not completely stop the huge sound.
An arm stretched out from the side and pulled hard, dragging the young public servant farther away from the grandfather clock. Just a few more steps, the original alarming bells quickly lowered the volume-similar to the appearance of lowering from 100 degrees to three to five degrees.
Zheng Qing turned his head back, a nearly transparent semicircular light curtain shrouded the sky above the grandfather clock.
He had just passed through the light curtain.
Obviously, that is a magic barrier for sound insulation.
"Is this the first time you use the'Grandfather Clock'?" A familiar voice rang in Zheng Qing's ear and shouted: "Why are you stupid standing next to the clock for so long!"
Zheng Qing's buzzing head reacted for a few seconds before he noticed that Xiao Xiao and Fatty Xin were standing beside him in time, and it was Xiao Xiao who was talking.
Xiao Xiao did not wear a robe today, but instead wore a white shirt, a black casual suit and a pair of big-toed leather shoes. His long-lasting watermelon head has also been replaced with a partial head. Although there is no hot dyeing, the overall fashion level has instantly soared by several tenths. Compared with him, Fatty Xin is as greasy as ever-wide bloomers, bloated woolen sweaters, and looks like a brown bear with severely sagging skin after failing to lose weight.
Zheng Qing's eyes lingered on the two companions for a few seconds, and finally fixed on Xiao Xiao.
"Are you a doctor?" he asked in a suspicious tone.
Fatty Xin smiled and trembled: "I knew Brother Qing would say that! Hahahahaha..."
Xiao Xiao had a dark face, turned his head and walked out: "There is a lot of nonsense."
The fat man finally stopped laughing, patted Zheng Qing on the shoulder, and motioned him to follow: "The doctor just had lunch with Mr. Sima at noon, so you know... for this shape, we helped him all the time yesterday. In the afternoon. I also asked Senior Sister Linda to help with it!"
"It's a multitude of things in one fell swoop." Zheng Qing smacked his lips, feeling that he had missed an entire TV show.
"Sign before leaving!" The gray-robed school worker yelled from behind Zheng Qing, stopped the wizard who was going to leave, and then drew out a white quill pen to make Zheng Qing write his name on the board .
...
Because it is winter vacation, there are not many students on campus, which gives people a feeling of being empty and quiet. Coupled with the mid-winter season, the vegetation is sparse, and this feeling of loneliness is even worse.
There are still two weeks before the journal is officially opened.
Like other students in school, Zheng Qing also needs to live in a new dormitory for the rest of the time.
"Take your bedding," Fatty Xin reminded when he took Zheng Qing to the new dormitory: "The temporary dormitory we live in is in Alpha Castle. It is gloomy and it feels like living in a cemetery. Inside... if the bedding is not warm, you will definitely not live in comfort."
"I doubt very much that the Alpha student who originally lived in that dormitory put some kind of unfriendly spell before leaving~EbookFREE.me~ After hearing the fat man's words, Xiao Xiao turned his head and said to Zheng Qing: "Otherwise In that case, only ghosts can stay in a place full of sullen air. "
"That's not necessarily." The fat man retorted, "At least Dylan likes that kind of environment... He told me yesterday that the environment in the temporary dormitory is like his big coffin, and it's very comfortable to stay in it. "
"Oh, that's really good news." Xiao Xiao said sarcastically, "Unfortunately, I don't have the blood of the Necro Element, and I can't feel his ease."
Zheng Qing originally didn't like living in temporary dormitories very much, but now he heard the conversations of his companions and became increasingly repulsive. But on the other hand, he is also very interested in the accommodation environment of Alpha Castle-although he has visited Alpha Castle several times before, it is just a matter of watching the flowers, and the feeling is not deep.
This tangled mentality did not last long.
Because they were stopped by a little witch halfway to the Alpha Fort dormitory.
To be precise, it was a fox maid.
