Chapter 2702 Tasks and Tasks

The school's slightly anticlimactic second investigation did not cause Zheng Qing much trouble.

On the contrary, perhaps because of the readjustment of the dormitory's guardian magic, he has been sleeping very peacefully these days. Not only does he have no nightmares at night, but the quality of his sleep is much better. He often falls asleep as soon as his head touches the pillow, and wakes up. Early in the morning, in just three or four days, the complexion of all members of dormitory 403 had improved significantly.

Even Zheng Qing felt more energetic and even began to consider whether to participate in a private hunting competition on the weekend to relieve the heavy study pressure.

However, before he had time to discuss this possibility with Xiao Xiao, he had another option.

On Saturday night, after finishing Albusto's Conjecture—the last class of the week—Zheng Qing was returning to his dormitory when he saw a figure passing by in a hurry.

He easily recognized it as Thomas from the assistant coaching staff.

"Thomas! It's so late, are you still on official duties?" The young teaching assistant happily waved to his former interviewer and said hello.

The Germanic man stopped and looked at him slightly hesitantly.

Zheng Qing was smart enough to notice Thomas's hesitation.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

The boy is very enthusiastic - today is Saturday and there will be no classes all day tomorrow. It just so happens that right now he feels like he is "full of food all day long and has nothing to do".

Thomas did not answer the young assistant's enthusiasm immediately. Instead, he tilted his head and moved his lips slightly, as if he was talking to someone.

Soon, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Zheng Qing.

"Well--"

The wizard from Starry Sky Academy hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said quickly: "The teaching assistant group has a temporary secret mission that requires the cooperation of two people... I originally planned to go to another place to find someone. Yes, but since I met you on the road...do you have any other tasks tonight?"

Zheng Qing suddenly became energetic.

He is also a serious assistant coach, so he is fully qualified to perform such tasks!

As for tonight - during this period, he would do a small hand task for a while before going to bed every night, but it was not mandatory. And compared with the boring work of etching runes, the temporary secret mission of the teaching assistants is obviously more attractive.

"I do, I do... No, I don't!"

He answered confusedly, raised his hand impatiently, and hurriedly explained: "I mean, I have time... I have no other tasks tonight! I have time all day tomorrow!"

Thomas twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.

"It couldn't be better." He murmured in a very soft voice and waved his hand, gesturing for Zheng Qing to follow him: "First, we need to go to the office building..."

…

…

Zheng Qing didn't know that when he stopped and waved to say hello to Thomas, dozens of meters away from him, a short and fat wizard walking slowly with a puppy was lowering his head, holding his ears with one hand, and the corners of his eyes. He glanced at his figure from the corner of his eye.

"Warning, warning, the target seems to be planning to contact a third party," at this point, the pudgy wizard paused and added in a very professional tone: "...the identity of the third party has been confirmed, and it is Thomas."

The dog at his feet snorted, confirming what he said.

"Which Thomas?" The captain's slightly tired voice came to his ears: "Is it the one from the assistant coaching staff? Have you confirmed your identity?"

The pudgy wizard curled his lips silently - although he didn't know where his captain was, he was very sure that the captain was not far away and could definitely see Thomas clearly.

There is absolutely no need to ask these questions.

At the same time, another witch's voice came to his ears: "It's Thomas from the Teaching Assistants. He has already verified the code word immediately..."

The pudgy wizard holding the puppy also noticed the way Thomas spoke from the side. Although he was speechless, he did not relax his vigilance. He skillfully contacted the school's protective circle to ensure that everything around him was under control.

Although he doesn't know who the target of his protection has offended - the reason for using 'and' is because he has long heard about this troublesome element in First University, whether he was involved in the big black jail incident, or Senator Su's rumored husband, or Or the Yule Ball or the influential figures in Shanglin Garden. For a twenty-year-old young man, the rich resume is a bit too much - he doesn't know why the school sends elites like him to protect him three shifts a day. This student has five major classes a day.

But he knew that a mission was a mission.

According to the mission process, they need to verify and record every creature that has substantial contact with the target - whether through three-party verification or direct verification; and the list on the register includes both school wizards and magic in the Silent Forest Creatures, including a two-tailed squirrel that poops on the target's head.

After a few days of protection, the short and fat wizard unexpectedly discovered that the boy named Zheng Qing performed much better than his reputation in school. In addition to having more contact with the little girl from the Jiang family, he was not interested in any witch who tried to talk to him. There is no pretense at all, and it is far from the level that the outside world calls him a "big carrot with a big heart".

If we insist on saying that there is any difference between this child and other students of Jiuyou Academy, it is that he takes more classes every week, and the class time is up to fifteen hours a day. Because he cannot apply for a time turner, the guard team has to stay in the same school. Two escort teams were arranged to protect this guy who was studying crazily outside different classrooms.

The witch's voice continued to ring in his ears: "...Although Thomas is not on duty now, he is also a member of the escort team and knows our safety rules... Do we need to prevent him from contacting the target?"

The captain was silent for a few seconds.

The pudgy wizard could only hear the sound of slightly heavy breathing in his ears.

After a moment, the captain's voice sounded again: "——Can you hear clearly what Thomas is saying?"

"No. 2 position can't be detected." The pudgy wizard immediately gave feedback.

"No. 3 can't hear it either." The witch's voice sounded almost at the same time, but she gave a more specific reason: "The target and Thomas are both members of the teaching assistant group. When in contact, the teaching assistant badge is activated and standard shielding magic will be automatically generated. , there is no way to eavesdrop in a short time... If you forcefully break through the magic barrier, you will definitely be noticed by the person involved. "

"That's so rude!" the short, fat wizard muttered in a low voice.

The captain fell silent again.

He noticed that Zheng Qing had changed his expected movement route and was following Thomas towards the direction of the First University Office Building, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

The most annoying thing about escort missions is this situation where things don't go according to plan.

"Keep your distance...normal monitoring, no additional contact required."

He finally gave the order.

Although this accident was very annoying, after all, Thomas was a member of another team of guards. Having him by Zheng Qing's side could save him a lot of energy, allowing him to more carefully screen other suspicious elements around him.
