High School of Demon Hunting-Chapter 377 - 46: This can be reimbursed too?_1

"The headache problem... you don’t need to worry about it for now."

Another voice resonated in the office.

Zheng Qing turned around to see Old Yao was once again dispersing the smoke in front of him, patiently stuffing tobacco into his pipe.

Seemingly aware of the young wizard’s confused gaze, the head of Jiuyou Academy casually added, "Hmm, before you’ve officially mastered shape-shifting magic... the academy can provide you with a batch of transformation potions to ensure that sickness doesn’t hinder your studies."

"Transformation potion?" Professor Yi seemed surprised by this answer and his voice seesawed up many notches.

Zheng Qing had also heard of this magic potion’s name before. It could completely transform a life form into another. The young scholarship student had seen this magic potion’s name and the countless storms it had stirred up in many collected books in the Book Mountain Library. Up to today, considering its extraordinarily special effects, the production and selling of this magic potion has been strictly controlled by the Wizard Alliance.

On the entire Pedestrian Street of Beta Town, perhaps only the Wandering Bar would covertly sell some subpar transformation potions.

The first university has the most advanced and largest group of potion masters in the wizard world, so producing transformation potions is a piece of cake.

But Zheng Qing never imagined that the academy would provide this strictly controlled potion for him.

His restless gaze meandered between the two professors several times. Eventually, he asked with no confidence, "How much does one portion of transformation potion from the school cost?... Can I pay in installments?"

Perhaps this question was too odd; the two professors were stunned for a moment.

"Install... Installments?" Old Yao seemed caught off guard; he was stunned for several seconds, then shook his head repeatedly, adding, "The school will bear the cost of these transformation potions... umm, you don’t need to pay any extra." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"Really?" Zheng Qing sighed with relief instantly.

Although Zheng Qing had some spare change from providing standard talismans to the Wandering Bar, his funds were not sufficient to casually purchase these expensive potions.

Old Yao spat out some sparks by rubbing his fingers, lit his pipe, took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes satisfyingly, bobbed his head, and said, "Absolutely... Hmm, go with me to the office later, you need to fill out an application form..."

"Why can’t I use the transformation potion all the time?" Zheng Qing couldn’t help asking a stupid question.

He regretted it immediately.

"All medicines are essentially poison, let alone the problem of drug resistance... Hasn’t Professor Li ever explained to you the three major taboos and eight precautions of using magic potions?" Professor Yi’s stern voice echoed in the office, making the young wizard shudder.

"After all, magic potions are just external objects, you can’t rely on them your whole life." Old Yao blew several smoke rings and kindly explained, "After all, do you really want to say proudly when you greet someone, ’I began taking pills in school, I have taken them my whole life, there is no pill I haven’t taken’... Wouldn’t that seem strange?"

Zheng Qing stood behind the office desk without causing any trouble and completely agreed with the lessons handed out by the two professors.

"Shape-shifting magic is not merely a single spell." Professor Yi still seemed unsatisfied and continued with a challenging tone, "When using a transformation potion, you can only transform into a creature that best aligns with your inner projection... Some ugly people can only turn into cockroaches."

"But a wizard who has truly mastered shape-shifting magic can freely transform between different life forms by adjusting the frequency of his own soul vibration at will... Only when this level is reached will you have the chance to completely avoid your ’catastrophe’."

Zheng Qing shivered inwardly and raised his head nodding his head seriously.

"Every Tuesday from 7 to 9 pm, you will come to my office... I will reinforce and assess the knowledge you gained over the week and planned the studying content for the next week." Professor Yi turned his head, pointed at his head and said, "If you recently had dreams with any strange fragments, you can let me know, and I’ll help you interpret it."

"Okay!" When it came to his own life, Zheng Qing naturally agreed swiftly.

...

...

When Zheng Qing came out from Professor Yi’s office, there was less than half an hour left before the afternoon class.

He also had to visit Professor Yao’s office to fill out an application form.

Old Yao is striding at a rapid pace, with Zheng Qing trotting along behind him.

"Is Professor Yi also a special diviner?" Perhaps due to his jogging, the young student funded by the state spoke anxiously, "I mean, does he have any special vision?"

"Professor Yi is a very professional and experienced researcher in the field of divination." Old Yao’s stride didn’t slow down in the slightest, nor did his tone fluctuate. He simply removed the pipe he was clenching in his mouth to his hand, "He is also one of the finest observers in the wizarding community in recent centuries."

By the time they finished speaking, they had reached the dean’s office door.

Old Yao put the pipe back in his mouth, took a deep puff, exhaled a ring of smoke, then turned his head, patted Zheng Qing on the shoulder, and advised, "This is a great opportunity... In terms of transformation, there’s no one more authoritative or experienced in the school than Professor Yi... Study hard! It’s not easy to light Great Professor Yi’s stove."

Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly.

The application form for the transformation potion did not require much information, but there were many places on it that needed to be stamped. Zheng Qing could easily guess that this form would pass through many desks these days.

As he was filling out the form, Assistant Hilda from the practical class knocked on the dean’s office door to submit a work report.

Old Yao signaled the young assistant to wait.

"... That’s it."

"Every month, at the beginning of the month, go to Professor Li’s office in Pharmacology to pick up the ’Transformation Potion’, then try to take it at the beginning or end of the month. In normal situations, the effective duration of one potion is twelve hours... This can ensure that you are safe and sound for about half a month."

"But," Zheng Qing still had some doubts, and he asked uneasily, "Is this really all right? I mean, I’ve heard many people say that wizards practice equivalent exchange... and these potions must be extremely expensive."

"It’s perfectly fine," Old Yao looked at him seriously, "This is the number one university, and you’re a student of the first university, we have an obligation to ensure your health... Moreover, this part of the cost will be deducted from your health insurance, so the school doesn’t actually have to spend money... Don’t overthink it."

Zheng Qing was immediately reassured.

Before leaving, he could not help asking again, "Why should I choose to transform at the beginning or the end of the month?"

"Because when you transform in the middle of the month, and you run around campus, you’ll likely encounter werewolves... or zombies." This time, Professor Yao didn’t speak, and Assistant Hilda, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, couldn’t help but explain, "If you don’t mind dancing with werewolves, you don’t need to worry about when to choose."

Zheng Qing immediately fully understood the explanation.

After the state-funded student left the office, Hilda couldn’t resist her curiosity while submitting her own work report, asking, "Is this true?"

"What?" Old Yao looked up, looking somewhat puzzled.

"The transformation potion," Hilda frowned, "When did the school start offering ’transformation potions’ to students for free?"

"Oh, that’s the school’s new policy." Professor Yao casually lowered his head as if it was a matter-of-fact, and said casually, "The funds are abundant this year, and the professors at the joint meeting felt that they could sponsor a few promising young people."

The young assistant was flabbergasted, "Even if he’s state-funded, isn’t this investment a bit too much?"

"The insurance company will pay most of the bills." Old Yao didn’t even lift his head, explaining dryly, "He’s fully funded by the state... The tuition includes the health insurance that the school purchases for him, which can be reimbursed."

"That can be reimbursed too?!" Hilda was shocked and couldn’t help but complain, "I never knew the school purchased health insurance for us poor students. Did I enroll in a fake university?"

"Shut up!" Old Yao finally looked up, appearing somewhat embarrassed and angry, "Maybe I should let you experience a little bit of falsehood... so you can fully understand the boundary between reality and illusion."

The young assistant obediently raised his hand, making a zip-lip action in the front of his mouth.
