Chapter 455: Chapter 434 Hunting

Night fell over Green Dragon Ridge Lake, the fourth floor of the Library Tower.

Tang Qi, in an indecorous posture, slouched on the sofa, tasting the extraordinary-class hot beverage and pastries while flipping through the “Queen Serano Operation Guide”. Although the booklet appeared thin, the information within was exceptionally rich.

It contained not only operation and maintenance details, but also some behind-the-scenes information, essentially the mech-engineer Hansel’s rambling thoughts.

His original intention in designing the Queen Serano was to cater to the upper-class people capable of acquiring sources of Magic Power like the Valata Stone. In pursuit of performance, he even designed ten engines, all equipped with his energy conversion casting skill.

Besides, the Queen Serano was also equipped with an exclusive flying device and had more than three forms—speed, combat, defense… none were lacking; during the thriving times of the Mysterious Side, it essentially existed as a real mechanical giant beast.

Unfortunately, halfway through its casting, the magic in nearly all the gemstones had severely faded.

This forced him to give up some forms, but even so, upon completion, it could not escape the fate of becoming “scrap metal.”

“So, it’s still a semi-finished product?”

Tang Qi’s grip on the booklet paused, his gaze then shifted to the window. At the white sandy beach below Dragon Heart Castle, the Queen Serano was quietly stationed, resuming its normal form, and looked far less frightening than it did by day.

After receiving the Magic Power supply from the “Valata Stone”, the Queen was akin to the malevolent female giant dragon, Serano, resurrected from myths, and Dragon Heart Castle was her castle for fostering tender flesh.

Initially, both teachers and students were terrified, but the school had indeed changed. Selma and Professor Eva stepped forward, along with the students from the Extraordinary Practical Combat Class, all thinking it was a monster attack.

Until the next moment, Tang Qi and Rafael and others walked down.

Only then did everyone realize that Mr. Principal had stirred up major news once again.

As a “government aircraft”, the might and grandeur of the Queen instantly subdued everyone at Merada Special Education School.

And when Tang Qi released the “Clarkwo Airship”, its extremely silly appearance, coupled with the leisurely drifting scene of these airships in the air, blended perfectly with Green Dragon Ridge Lake, a scene straight from a Fantasy.

Both teachers and students were overjoyed.

Especially Selma, who took all the airships right then, leading dozens of kids to continue the Extraordinary Plant Class.

However, Tang Qi was somewhat worried at this time.

“Magic Power sources aren’t the issue, Esmeralda’s stock still has a lot, apart from the Valata Stone, other gemstones also meet the requirements… I’ve already asked the Ancient Castle Bureau to help me interview reliable pilots… The subsequent modifications need to continue, at least to complete Hansel’s design… looks like my remaining Gold Coins won’t last either.”

He calculated briefly in his mind and suddenly, a surprising realization dawned upon Tang Qi.

“Could I also run out of money?”

The incredulous thought churned up, immediately followed by contemplation on how to find the next “source of wealth”.

“The night I got promoted to Professional Level, didn’t I sink a cruise ship loaded with Cursed Gold? Those gold pieces should all be at the bottom of Dragon Ridge Lake, I once thought about dredging them but felt it was shameful at a time when money was not an issue, well, now I can’t go, after all, I’m the Principal.”

“However, I can let those guys from the Gold Mine Devil Ship do it, they provide the labor, I provide the Extraordinary Rum, a very reasonable trade.”

“Yes, let’s do that.”

With a few thoughts flickering by, Tang Qi realized he might restore his fortune, or perhaps even more.

His thoughts naturally shifted, and he casually put down the booklet, picking up the schedule that Professor Eva gave him during the day.

Ever since Tang Qi took up the position of principal, Merada Special Education School had been completely on track, with changes in a short time far surpassing the period when Esmeralda was in control.

Feeling that the time was ripe, Professor Eva, together with other teachers, referring to the systems of ancient organizations and magic schools, began to establish the system for the Witch School, and curriculum planning was an important part of it.

“Ordinary and Extraordinary, electives and compulsory courses, the system references the grade system and credit system used by most universities in the Federation.”

“The compulsory ordinary courses, which are available in all high schools of the Federation, include subjects like languages and mathematics, along with an added course on wilderness survival; the elective courses include etiquette, various histories, literature, and evaluation of antiques and artworks? Selma is taking on three courses?”

Seeing Selma’s name appear too many times on the schedule, Tang Qi revealed a hint of strangeness; originally thinking that they had only hired an extraordinary plants teacher, it now seemed that Selma was a treasure in herself.

“The compulsory courses for the Extraordinary, currently include Extraordinary Practical Combat, Basic Guidance, Ability Development; elective courses are more varied, including Extraordinary Plants, Extraordinary Animals, Divination Skill, Stargazing Skill, Black Magic Defense, polymath… almost encompassing the courses listed by many magical schools in the Extraordinary Books… But, it seems we’re short on teachers.”

Tang Qi quickly understood the underlying message of Professor Eva’s schedule — a formal system requires so many courses, meaning the current teaching staff was insufficient. Since they could hire Selma, they probably could hire other teachers as well.

A wry smile appeared on his lips; as the principal of the Witch School, Tang Qi indeed controlled an organization with extraordinary potential.

But correspondingly, he also had to put in some effort.

This was still after Tang Qi had delegated most of the tasks to Professor Eva.

“It seems my wish to be a stay-at-home principal will have to be put on hold. I wonder if Selma has any suitable recommendations? Or perhaps, recruiting from the Federation’s mysterious side, with my current reputation…?”

After these unreliable thoughts passed, Tang Qi scheduled the task and then temporarily set it aside.

Recruitment was actually possible, but that would be a last resort, as even Tang Qi, with his special abilities, couldn’t guarantee to recruit suitable teachers free of malice.

“A very suitable curriculum arrangement, even though it’s called a Witch School, we can’t really only produce a bunch of witches, let alone a bunch of Extraordinary combat maniacs. Apart from students who truly love adventure and combat on the mysterious side, most kids may prefer to learn some life skills.”

“Let’s see what the future holds, this is an era of transformation, even Divine beings probably cannot predict what the future looks like.”

After expressing his thoughts for a moment, Tang Qi put away the schedule and the booklet.

Outside the window, he gazed at the vast and beautiful Green Dragon Ridge Lake in the night for a moment.

Then he turned back to his work area, directly rummaging through a pile of documents to pull out three lists resembling rankings, dense with information from the Church, Investigation Bureau, and Ancient Castle Bureau’s bounty task lists.

Tang Qi’s eyes quickly skimmed the three forms.

In the end, his gaze settled on a line in the middle of the Church task list.

“Target: Eating House.”

“Danger Level: Third-level.”

“Task Description: Located in the Lower City District of Secret Phoenix City, the house has an exterior and interior decoration in a comfortable style popular twenty years ago. After the Return of the Spiritual Tide, it underwent unknown mutations, highly suspected to have merged with an Evil Spirit from an Exotic Realm. Until now, it has caused the disappearance of at least ten people, used Special Curios Divination, all missing persons are confirmed dead…”

…

“Hunting time is here!”

As task information continuously entered his eyes, Tang Qi softly uttered, a portal appeared in front of him, and with the final word falling, the fourth floor of the Library Tower returned to peace.
