Chapter 463: Chapter 132: The Little Fox Running Around_1
Although the story was over, it aroused even more curiosity in Zheng Qing.
The Blue Robe Wizard didn’t mind playing the role of a teacher for a publicly-funded student.
The two left the pavilion, continuing their unfinished journey and chatting as they walked.
"Do those three or four top-class clubs that broke away from ’Will’ still exist?" Zheng Qing held great respect for those who pursued their ideal and broke new grounds.
He even considered whether he should take some time to visit them.
However, Deng Xiaojian’s response was a big disappointment to him.
"They’re long gone... Those people didn’t really want to leave ’Will’, they were just resentful. So when the principal re-established the ’Holy Will’, those clubs followed suit and merged back with ’Judgment’."
"What is there in ’Will’ that makes them abandon their independence, their freedom?" Zheng Qing was baffled by the pursuit of these clubs.
"Are you really a student at Jiuyou Academy?" The Blue Robe Wizard cast a doubtful look at him: "Only those fake gentlemen of Alpha keep talking about ’freedom’ and ’justice’... Do you think leaving a group of like-minded people can lead to genuine freedom?"
"I’m just curious about the meaning represented by ’Will’..."
"You’re a Jiuyou person and you don’t know, why are you asking me?" Deng Xiaojian pointed to his nose, looking surprised, "Do I look like the big boss of ’Will’?"
Zheng Qing chuckled awkwardly, paused for a while, then changed the subject, "So do you know where the assessment location for ’Lei Zhe’ is?"
"I’ll repeat it again! Look at my lips..." Deng Xiaojian pointed his thumb to his mouth and emphasized: "I...am...not...a...Jiuyou...Academy...student!"
"But you are a member of the ’Holy Will’", Zheng Qing murmured. Seeing the disapproving look of the Blue Robe Wizard, he immediately shut up.
With the noise of the publicly-funded student gone, the corridor suddenly became much quieter, only the footsteps of the two echoed, accompanied by the murmuring of insects clinging to the vines.
The length of the corridor was finite after all.
As they were students of different academies, they had to part ways at a fork in the road.
"After going back, quickly get a centralized training statement from your Dean Yao, so Lan Zi and I can speak for you." Before leaving, Deng Xiaojian repeatedly reminded,"If it’s tricky to talk to Dean Yao, you can also fetch it from other professors..."
"One last question!" The young publicly-funded student raised his hand, looking sincere: "I have one last question before we part..."
"Speak up!" Deng Xiaojian took a deep sigh.
"I remember you mentioned a time when the original ’Will’ was recognized by the students of the entire First University, right?" Zheng Qing first clarified the premise of his question.
Deng Xiaojian nodded frantically, indicating that he should hurry up.
The young publicly-funded student immediately had more confidence: "Then it’s strange... since everyone recognized Jiuyou Academy’s ’Will’, why do the other three schools still exist? I mean, when everyone recognized it at that time, why didn’t Jiuyou Academy unify the entire First University?"
The Blue Robe Wizard looked at him with surprise.
"Didn’t expect, you do have brains... finally asked a somewhat interesting question." Deng Xiaojian’s judgment made Zheng Qing’s mouth twitch.
But he didn’t say anything and just listened to the senior’s response.
"But I must say, you are still young." The Blue Robe Wizard shook his head, showing some concern for the naivety of the publicly-funded student:
"Without colleges, universities will not survive; without students, politics will struggle... The students’ approval does not mean the academies’ approval! This is crucial!"
"You should know, each academy represents the attitudes of dozens of great wizards in the Wizards’ Alliance. They represent the beliefs of wizards from different factions in the wizard world, and the profound history and heritage of each... To abolish these academies simply because of the immature ideas of some young people would be absurd!"
"I’ve always thought the university belongs to the students." Zheng Qing felt a bit disappointed.
"The school, of course, belongs to the students... but it’s also the school of staffers, professors, and the Wizard Alliance. Students can be self-centered when considering issues, but the school certainly can’t operate that way."
With that, Deng Xiaojian waved his hand and strode off into the night, where his faint murmurs could be heard, "sometimes obligation comes before personal gains..."
...
...
The young student strolled in the moonlight, mulling over tonight’s takeaways, and headed reluctantly towards Dormitory Hill.
On his path, there was a moment’s pause between two rows of deciduous trees.
Because at the end of this path was the small square by the lakeside of Bell Lake.
The first dance after the start of Moon Hunting was being held there right now.
If he went now, he could still catch some of the festivities—he actually wanted to get a close look at those graceful luzon sparrows, listen to the lively music on-site, and admire the beautiful bodies of the young witch girls.
But after much consideration, he finally decided against this impulsive idea.
A gentleman’s word... no, a gentleman, loyal and steadfast, if he says he won’t go, he definitely can’t go.
The now resolute student glanced longingly at a few faint lights twinkling at the end of the tree-lined path and reluctantly continued on his journey home.
But after a few steps, he stopped again.
Then he turned back and gazed doubtfully behind him.
"Does that sound like Poseidon?" Zheng Qing knitted his eyebrows and leaned in to better hear the faint noise in the night, "Did I hear it wrong? Shouldn’t it be sleeping in the pet garden by now?"
Although the university doesn’t forbid students from bringing their own pets, all the colleges including Jiuyou Academy and Alpha Fortress strictly prohibit these pets from roaming around freely.
If you want to stroll around with your pet, besides observing time restrictions, you also need to fill out a bunch of forms and write hundreds of words in an application.
So very few people are willing to bother with these troublesome matters—even their pets are perfectly happy playing with their buddies, and don’t need the clumsy two-legged human servants.
"I must have heard it wrong..." Zheng Qing muttered to himself, shaking his head and continuing to walk home.
But he hadn’t gone much further when again, he stopped.
This time, he was convinced he had heard something.
"Poseidon?" He softly called a few times, "Poseidon? Din Din? Popo?"
In response, there came a series of hurried and familiar ’squeak’ sounds.
In a blink of an eye, a blue and white figure darted out from the undergrowth and jumped into the students’ arms.
"Hey, easy!" The young student stumbled from the impact and started complaining, "Be gentle, you almost knocked me over! Your master isn’t young anymore...wait, why are you here...want to get me penalized because I have too many credits?"
The little fox climbed up his robe, its two fluffy front paws hugging Zheng Qing’s neck, and its small pink tongue rapidly licking his cheek.
"Tsk... where did you learn these bad habits!" Zheng Qing chuckled, stroking the fox’s fluffy tail, and immediately threw his previous thoughts out of his mind.
"Squeak...squeak squeak...squeak squeak!"
"What?" Zheng Qing widened his eyes, "A young lady taught you just now?"
