Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 43: Girl's Fantasy (VI)
Riding on the eight-legged horse Sleipnir and holding the spear Gungnir that always hits, Odin, the king of the Aesir in Norse mythology, should only exist in legends. But on that elevated road, the majestic supreme god like a mountain appeared in front of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang in real life. What was even more incredible was that Chu Zihang's father Chu Tianjiao was even an old acquaintance of the fortune teller. As the opposite of God, he had a head-on confrontation with Odin.
Lu Mingfei is a senior otaku who likes to draw on ancient myths in all kinds of games and comics. After playing, she often wants to find out the stories behind them, and thus she got to know a lot of myths from various countries.
In China, people often believe that gods symbolize all kinds of good things, such as the Kitchen God who controls food, grants convenience and blesses peace. Every year on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, people offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God and send him to heaven. If they offer sacrifices to the Dragon King, they can ensure good weather and peace for the country and the people. Of course, there are also some stories that describe the seven emotions and six desires of the gods, such as Chang'e who stole the elixir and finally flew to the moon. People believe that gods are also incomplete, but they are always on the good side.
However, in the Western mythology system, people seem to have malicious speculations about gods. The gods in Greek mythology are more like a group of perverts with supreme power. There are incest among relatives, power grabbing, loving fathers and filial sons, and the degree of intrigue is shocking.
The Norse mythology represented by Odin is relatively better. The supreme god Odin is actually a petty guy. He ran away in anger because someone stole his gold, abandoning all his burdens behind him, causing the frost giants to block the earth and destroy all living things. His final ending was not much better. On the day of Ragnarok, the god of war died of poisoning, and Odin himself was swallowed by the giant wolf Fenrir.
Before that night, Lu Mingfei had always believed that myths were the embodiment of people's imagination. In that era when technology was not yet developed, spiritual pursuits were too poor, so some people wove all kinds of moving stories, saying that we were actually people who were cared for and blessed by God to comfort ourselves.
But the gods really appeared before her eyes. The pattern on Odin's armor, the spear called Gungnir, which was woven from the tender branches of the world tree, and the lightning that flew in the air when Sleipnir breathed. Lu Mingfei even remembered the appearance of all of this, and her memory was still fresh. Even those things called Deadpool, which were weird between life and death, were not a bit like the Hall of Valor in the myth of Odin? They were originally dead heroes, so it was natural that they would be neither human nor ghost when they came out to fight, right?
When Lu Mingfei thought about this, her head started buzzing. The academy called Kassel claimed to be able to answer these questions. An academy that would ask people to believe in superpowers as an interview question must be a group of psychopaths who believe in the existence of Odin in the world.
Could it be that my senior brother is practicing his super powers in Kassel right now? The next time we meet, will he make a seal, open his mouth, and yell the Great Fireball Technique to blast out a big fireball? In that case, we don’t even need to bring a grill when we go out for a barbecue! It’s exciting just thinking about it!
"I probably won't choose to drop out of school midway. I don't have any great advantages, but I have always had a strong ability to accept new things!" Lu Mingfei clenched her fists, and there seemed to be a raging fire burning in her pupils. No matter whether the road ahead is the Chunin Exam, the Sabaody Archipelago, or whether she has to participate in Ragnarok and fight a battle, just come on!
If someone told you that the road ahead of you is destined to be extraordinary, would you choose to turn back? Lu Mingfei's answer is of course NO. She is tired of the unchanging three points and one line , and she doesn't want her future to be bound by that dependent family. There can be a foothold in her life, but it must not be her home. Do you have to go back to that kind of place after kidnapping Chu Zihang and be pointed at by the aunt, saying, how can a girl like you be worthy of Chu Zihang? Don't you even look at what you look like!
She has grown up and has her own wings. She can fly to where she wants to go. Although it is a little difficult to get started, she will eventually have the opportunity to take this step. Looking back? Ridiculous! Whether it is Chen Wenwen or Zhao Menghua, they should just watch their backs get on the red Ferrari! You have been so awesome for so long, why don’t you let me, Lu Mingfei, be awesome for once this time?
"Oh." Nono said calmly, "I hope you are not frightened to the point of fainting . Students who have made such noises in the past have been nailed to the pillar of shame until now. By the way, our school has a special rating for each freshman. Your rating is S. The academy hasn't had an S-level student for decades, so they value you very much."
"Am I... that awesome?" Lu Mingfei was a little uncomfortable with being praised like a flower all of a sudden.
“S-rank is awesome, but it’s not necessarily a good thing. The last S-rank student committed suicide in the academy. It was said that he encountered academic problems that he couldn’t solve and he was a little depressed for a while.” Nuo Nuo looked at Lu Mingfei with eyes full of pity. It seemed that she felt that S-rank was a very unlucky thing, and Lu Mingfei would most likely follow in the footsteps of her predecessors.
“Senior sister, are you sure you are not here to recruit students but to persuade me to turn back?” Lu Mingfei now felt that Kassel College was a pit, waiting for her to jump in.
"No, the college has been wanting you for a long time, and I have no intention of going against the college. It's just that I think I have to give you a shot in advance, so that the beautiful girl won't fall into the wolf's den and can't crawl out." Nuo Nuo pinched Lu Mingfei's face, "I'm not so caring and loyal to everyone!"
"I understand, I understand! Senior sister dotes on me the most, senior sister is the best!" Lu Mingfei breathed out and quickly flattered her, trying to hold on to her only thigh before jumping into the pit.
"Oh, such a sweet talker, Chu Zihang really likes this?" Nuo Nuo was very happy, but her way of showing happiness was to pinch Lu Mingfei's flesh fiercely. Lu Mingfei was in great pain but could only put on a flattering smile to prevent the loyal senior sister from kicking her out of displeasure. Lu Mingfei was very good at reading people's faces and acting accordingly.
The two of them were chatting animatedly, totally unaware that there was a person standing there like air the entire time. During the conversation, Lu Mingfei accidentally bumped Ling's shoulder with her elbow, but Ling seemed to feel nothing, neither making a sound to remind her nor dodging, he just sat there quietly looking at the dark path outside the window, like a mysterious statue.
Lu Mingfei felt that it was not a good idea to leave her classmates aside, so she took the initiative to find a way to bring up a topic to get Ling involved.
"Zero...classmate?" she asked hesitantly.
"Just call me Zero." Zero's Chinese also has a slight Russian accent.
