Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 55 S-Class (V)
"How were the battles in the past?" Lu Mingfei asked sweetly. Finkel might be a not-so-serious big-tailed wolf, but this big-tailed wolf had actually stayed in Kassel College for eight years. When it comes to his grasp of the internal situation of the college, he is definitely reliable enough.
"Almost all students have joined Cassel's Student Union or the Lionheart Club. In the past Free Days, it was basically a game between these two sides. Previously, the Student Union led by Caesar had been the winner for several consecutive years, but after Chu Zihang became the president of the Lionheart Club, he led the Lionheart Club to develop rapidly, making the Lionheart Club almost completely equal to the Student Union in strength. This year's Free Day may be the most intense and exciting one." Finkel patted his backpack, "I won't participate in the battle, but I have prepared a camera. I can also earn some extra money by taking some wonderful photos of the leaders of both sides."
He does look like a qualified lackey working in the media industry. His most important characteristic is shamelessness, which is a basic qualification required for a gossip soul.
"What are you going to do?" Ling asked Lu Mingfei. "In principle, every student of Kassel College can participate. Those who don't want to go should stay in the dormitory to avoid accidental injuries. If you don't join a club, it will be defined as an individual battle, which means that both the Lionheart Club and the Student Union are your opponents, and your hope of victory is very slim. Or do you have a way to fight both sides at the same time?"
"Don't flatter me too much. I'm just a harmless little white rabbit. How can I compete with the big brothers in terms of ruthlessness?" Lu Mingfei curled her lips. "It's not that I have to win, but I have to try when I have the chance. If I can't beat you head-on, can't I just squat and shoot from behind? Who hasn't used the squatting tactic when playing CS?"
"...I hope you won't be knocked down by a bullet right at the start." It seemed that Ling was quite speechless about Lu Mingfei's idea that she had no plan and relied entirely on fate. This kind of optimistic idea was like a domestic war drama, where the army sneaked into the Japanese bunker without even a gun, and they defeated all the enemies with bare hands without bloodshed, and then blew up the bunker before leaving, using the explosives they stole from the Japanese. They had everything they needed and they didn't have to think about anything!
To be honest, Lu Mingfei was really unsure. She just knew that the winner of the Free Day would have a generous reward, but she was new here, so how could she compete with those elite dragon slayers who had been training for several years? It was just the mentality of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger. When she came to Kassel, she had to learn to become a rose with a gun under her pillow. The Free Day was her first lesson. Besides, when it came to shooting, she was not a complete novice. During the military training, her shooting skills amazed the instructor!
Ling immersed himself in the rich aroma of hot coffee again and stopped talking. Only Finkel and Lu Mingfei were left chatting animatedly. The muscular and dog-legged senior brother was happy to share , which made him appear to be a reliable senior brother. Perhaps Finkel had not completely given up his lustful intentions.
During this time, Lu Mingfei peeked at Ling's profile without leaving a trace. From this angle, this Lolita girl from Russia looked even more petite. Her bird-wing-like eyelashes gradually appeared in the curling mist, and her skin was so white that it was almost transparent. She would not be much different from a princess in a fairy tale. This kind of girl must have an extraordinary background.
At this time, Lu Mingfei thought of Nuonuo, Ye Sheng, and Jiude Aki. Everyone from Kassel looked like a shining protagonist, except for Finger. This made Lu Mingfei feel a little inferior. There was nothing remarkable about her past life experience, which could be written on only half a piece of white paper. Compared with those men and women who all looked like elites, she was too ordinary. Even if they all said that they were noble S-level, she only regarded it as a compliment.
Maybe Kassel Academy is just another Shilan Middle School... Just like the literary club in the past, the ugly duckling will not turn into a swan just by moving from a lake to a clear spring. Lu Mingfei does not think that she can compare with Chu Zihang or others. She just hopes to change herself slowly in this new place, just like a small insect turning into a butterfly, and gradually become as bright as light.
The CC1000 train passed through the ancient and lush red pine forest in the night, and it was very close to the train station ahead.
It is hard to imagine that such a modern station would be built in such a dense forest with few people. The platform, broadcasting system, and waiting hall only serve the CC1000 train, but it is built like a miniature city transportation hub.
But this makes perfect sense for Kassel College, which was founded in the early 20th century. The dragon-slaying secret party had just experienced a serious defeat, prompting them to urgently establish a militarized college to train dragon-slaying warriors.
At that time, the First World War was just beginning to take shape, and the tensions between European countries were growing. To avoid accidents, the perceptive school directors brought a large amount of property to the United States and chose a location to build Kassel College in the mountains of Illinois. At that time, the American railway had only been born for a few decades and was still in the development stage. The school directors invested in railway construction and signed an agreement with the government to build this railway connecting Kassel College to the outside world, placing Kassel in a position that was isolated from the world but could be deployed at any time.
The passengers on the train slowly opened their eyes at the announcement of the arrival at the station. They had all stayed up most of the night and fell asleep on the way here. Finkel was driven to the next carriage because Lu Mingfei and Ling needed to change clothes. As freshmen, they had to wear the school uniforms of Kasai College when they entered school. Ling was wearing her own private clothes on the way to pick up Lu Mingfei. She brought each other's school uniforms with her.
A white shirt, a dark green suit with a silver hem, a deep rose red scarf, and the world tree emblem of Kassel College embroidered on the chest pocket. The tailor of the college never measured Lu Mingfei's figure, let alone a questionnaire survey, but he made the clothes fit her perfectly. Lu Mingfei turned up the corner of her pleated skirt and saw her name, Charlotte S. Lu, embroidered in dark green on the lining.
Seeing this fancy English name, Lu Mingfei's mouth was full of helplessness. Charlotte was the name that Nuonuo casually called out when Nuonuo and Ling picked her up from the cinema that day. I think that in American University Cassel, Lu Mingfei's Chinese name will not be used, but she didn't report her English name, so it must be Nuonuo who urged her to report this name. The S in the middle is easy to understand, S-level bloodline, Lu is her last name, and it is Charlotte S. Lu, which is both tongue-twisting and unpleasant. I always feel like a passerby in an adventure novel, who will be beaten up on the street in the next second.
If Lu Mingfei had not seen the huge world tree engraved on the gate of the station, she would have thought that she had taken the wrong train and arrived at a station in another city. She was walking at the end of the trio, dragging her suitcase. The anticipation in her heart had reached its peak and was about to jump out of her throat in the next second.
The door slowly opened, and the faint light of dawn shone on Lu Mingfei's face. She raised her hand to shield her eyes, and through her fingers she saw the white castle standing in the valley.
The real Kassel College is much better looking than in the photos. The photos shown on the website only show the edges and corners of it, and have never shown its full picture. Now standing here, Lu Mingfei can look down and see the magnificent temple-like building that seems to rise from the valley, opening up a world that belongs only to it in the prosperous red pine forest.
It is very large, extending from the valley to the hillside. With pure white as the base color, a large number of pointed buildings form white obelisks connected together, and mixed with asymmetrical aesthetics of extremely modern design, with high and low staggered. If you are a student majoring in architecture, you will find that this college has brought together various architectural styles over the past hundreds of years, including classical European, classical American, and Mediterranean simplicity. They have brought their respective styles together with an excellent balance, making this place as dazzling and colorful as a city-state of a medieval emperor. White doves rise and fall on the dome of the church, and the bells of the tower seem to take the world back to the forbidden land in the mountains .
In Lu Mingfei's previous imagination, Kassel College was probably an aristocratic institution, but it was not until now that she realized that Kassel was an aristocrat among aristocrats. This scale of retro buildings can crush any university campus in the world, and a mere 10,000 people is simply a drop in the ocean for its carrying capacity. This shows that the concept of the entire college at the beginning of its design was by no means as simple as a simple college. The ultimate goal of the students and teachers here is to slay dragons, so their school also has the concept of a military fortress. Lu Mingfei has no doubt that those buildings on the hillside that seem to be standing alone may hide artillery that can aim at any blind spot in the entire campus.
Unlike most universities' admission days, there was no red banner unfurled at the school gate, no attentive seniors helping to greet the new students, and there was not even a security booth to be seen. On this breezy dawn, the gate of Kasai College was closed, with only a small door in the corner that could be used for entry and exit, with a security device hanging on it.
Finkel swiped his student ID across the card slot, and with two beeps, the small passage opened. Lu Mingfei didn't feel like she was here to enroll. Instead, it seemed like a group of thieves were using the owner's IC card to secretly open the door of the safe.
The campus was filled with medieval-style old buildings, green lawns, crimson cobblestone roads, and even connected fountains. It was very quiet, like a paradise independent of this world. The fish swimming in the fountain were not afraid of the passers-by. They swam to the edge as if out of curiosity and followed Lu Mingfei around.
Lu Mingfei thought that her seniors were probably getting up slowly in the sound of the bells in the tower, taking off their quilts, washing and getting ready to welcome a new life. She couldn't wait to see the dormitories in Kassel. She hoped that the dormitories here would not be like those in some universities in China. Despite having excellent signs and professional teachers, the dormitories were so simple that she could sing a song "I wish I had thousands of mansions to shelter all the poor people in the world". If that were the case, she would be too unlucky. She came all the way to the United States to attend college, but she still couldn't escape the four years of living in a humble house.
A shrill alarm suddenly sounded across the sky, echoing throughout the campus like a roaring ghost. The bell stopped abruptly, and the entire valley was filled with sharp whistles.
Lu Mingfei was startled and the suitcase in her hand fell on her foot. She jumped three feet high in pain, holding her toes and hopping around on one foot.
"What's wrong? Are the dragons invading?" She asked with a grin. Although she had not officially enrolled yet, Lu Mingfei had already accepted the fact that she was attending a dragon-slaying university. After all, she had seen the gods Odin and Sleipnir, so there was no need to be surprised by the few dragons in the world. The only problem was that she had not received formal dragon-slaying training, and now they were fighting directly. I was afraid that the body disposal agreement signed during the admissions counseling would be used immediately. I hoped that my aunt would not cry and scold Cassel when she saw her body...
Zero and Finkel looked at each other, and the sturdy man and the loli reached a consensus in an instant, and their expressions became serious at the same time.
"Damn, we're late!" Finkel slapped his head.
"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei felt something was wrong.
"One day of freedom." Lingbayiyi emphasized the two words "The bell just now represents the beginning of a new day. The war will start at dawn and end at midnight. Unless the winner is determined, it will last all day!"
Lu Mingfei realized something was wrong. In this cold morning, the gate of Kassel College was closed. Since they entered, there have been only three of them on campus. Every university has its share of good students who get up early to run and study. Kassel is no exception. But today, there was no sign of anyone. This could only mean that a war was about to start. Everyone left the center of the battlefield at the same time.
Now that the war has begun, there are still three standing in the middle of the defenseless battlefield...
"Hurry, hide quickly!" At the critical moment, it was the eighth-grade international student and reliable adult Finkel who played a role and directed the two junior sisters to hide quickly beside the bench.
But he was killed before he could even fire a few shots. The bullet, with its huge kinetic energy, splashed blood on his forehead. Lu Mingfei heard a bang that sounded like a cannon shot. The person who shot this bullet must have been an extremely accurate sniper, and every bullet killed a soul.
"Senior Brother!" Lu Mingfei shouted subconsciously, because Finkel's posture before he was killed was too much like a brave warrior. Although he was a loser who coveted the beauty of his junior sister and was greedy, he did bring her a brief happy time after all... Lu Mingfei burst into tears, took out a tissue to wipe her nose and mourned Finkel, wishing his soul could rest in peace in heaven.
