Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 63 Blue Bird (V)
“The first case! This is the first case!” Professor Guderian suddenly clapped his hands, shocking Lu Mingfei so much that her soul almost flew out of her body. “Very interesting!”
"What first case?" Lu Mingfei felt that this old man always spoke to himself, without caring whether other people could understand him or not. Is this the research style of university professors?
"The first dragon blood descendant who does not respond to Nidhogg's call!" Professor Guderian looked Lu Mingfei up and down, as if he was appreciating a thousand-year-old female mummy on display in a museum, "You have mutated!"
"You're crazy." Lu Mingfei retorted subconsciously.
"I'm your professor, you should show me some respect." Although he said so, Professor Guderian didn't seem to care about Lu Mingfei's disrespectful attitude. "Any dragon hybrid should have a reaction to this passage from the Emperor, but you are completely insensitive to it. Is this why you were rated S-level?"
"Is there a possibility that I am an ordinary person?" Lu Mingfei said.
"The principal never makes mistakes in bloodline ratings." Professor Guderian shook his head. "This is the end. You have no resonance with dragon characters. How are you going to take the 3E exam tomorrow? Besides me, who else will believe that your bloodline is not bad but mutated?"
"I believe it." Chu Zihang actually raised his hand at this time. "Lu Mingfei and I were high school classmates. She had performed very well in the past, and now she seems to be even better than before. I can't believe that there is a problem with her bloodline."
Damn it, you really lie without thinking, what do you mean I had great performances in the past? Are you referring to those people who stood at the front during the radio gymnastics, who couldn't coordinate their hands and feet when they looked into your eyes every day, and then you deducted points for them?
However, Lu Mingfei was still very touched that Chu Zihang came out to support her at this time. This is how her senior brother is. Once he gets familiar with her, he becomes so nice to her that it is unbearable.
"Of course I have confidence in my students!" Professor Guderian said, "but the 3E exam is a hurdle that every student must face. I can't help with this."
He placed his hands on Lu Mingfei's shoulders , as if sending off a warrior to defeat the devil with a beautiful wish: "It's all up to you!"
"You sound like I'm going to fail soon..." Before the 3E exam even started, Lu Mingfei was already scared by Guderian.
"I believe you can do it!" Professor Guderian patted his hands vigorously. "I will send you some information about other dragon texts when I get back. You can try to see if you can find any resonance. Maybe you just don't have any feelings for the emperor."
"I hope so..." Lu Mingfei could only nod and silently prayed that she was not some mutated stupid girl.
Lu Mingfei, an S-level proud student, encountered a life-and-death problem on her first day of school. If she fails to pass the 3E test tomorrow, she might have to consider jumping off the plane as it crosses the Pacific Ocean.
The whole of Kassel was destined to be restless tonight, as the story of the S-level was still circulating among the crowd, and even the professors were no exception.
Professor Guderian bid farewell to the restaurant and went to the library of Kassel Academy to look for ancient books. The ancient books area was placed at the top of the bookshelf, almost touching the ceiling. In each grid was a transparent sealed folder, which contained ancient dragon bronze scrolls, collectively known as the "Ice Sea Fragments".
The name comes from their origin. Ten years ago, Kassel Academy had a huge failure. At that time, the secret party captured the intelligence of a certain dragon, which was very likely the first generation, that is, the direct descendant of the black dragon emperor Nidhogg. Then the secret party mobilized the elites of the executive department to encircle and suppress the dragon under the ice sea of Greenland. As a result, the secret party was almost wiped out, and only one person survived.
The only reward from the operation was these copper scrolls. In those days, there was no paper, so the dragons engraved their own words on copper pillars, so strictly speaking, they were actually some copper sheets with words on them. Thousands of years later, the copper pillars had long been lost in the sea and disintegrated into countless fragments, sleeping on the seabed until the secret party discovered them in Greenland and salvaged them for preservation. Ten years later, most of the contents have not yet been fully deciphered.
Guderian stood at the top of the ladder and stretched his arms out to reach a booklet.
"Looking up information so late at night?" someone said at the bottom of the ladder.
Guderian looked down and saw a spherical object that was as shiny as the chandelier.
That was Professor Manstein, the chairman of the Discipline Committee. He wore round-framed gold-rimmed glasses and had a shiny bald head. He was a little old man who looked a little funny, so few students in Kassel were afraid of him.
"Why are you here too?" Guderian was surprised.
"I'm also here to look up information about your new student Lu Mingfei." Manstein touched his shiny head. "Chu Zihang is the person with the purest dragon blood we have found so far. He has already shown the physiological characteristics of the dragon race, the dragon pupils. Most people would be in awe of his gaze and find it difficult to look him in the eye, but Lu Mingfei actually fired her gun in broad daylight without any fear. I'm not surprised that she could sneak attack Caesar, but Chu Zihang was surprised."
As a member of the Discipline Committee, Manstein of course participated in supervising the Free Day to prevent the students from causing any trouble. He was the only witness closest to the center of the battlefield at the time, and was quite interested in the performance of Lu Mingfei, an S-level freshman.
"Lu Mingfei is S-level and Chu Zihang is A-level. Isn't this as it should be?" Guderian said.
"You should know that even the vice-president is unwilling to look directly at Chu Zihang without his colored contact lenses." Manstein looked into Guderian's eyes.
Nicholas Flamel, the world's top alchemist, is respected by the people of Kassel as the Night Watchman. It is said that his bloodline is second only to the S-level principal, and the Word Spirit [Precepts] he controls can suppress the use of Word Spirit by all hybrids whose bloodline is lower than his. Chu Zihang cannot use Word Spirit in Kassel's territory, which means that Chu Zihang, who is a super A-level, is not stronger than the vice-principal in bloodline.
The vice-principal had only met Chu Zihang once, and that time he claimed that he was stung by a scorpion in the eye so he just let it go. Afterwards Chu Zihang said that it was actually the vice-principal who asked him to take off his contact lenses and the two of them looked at each other closely. Then the vice-principal covered his eyes and said something like "I can't take it anymore, I'm going blind" and rolled on the floor. In short, he was almost a Hong Qi-style character, strong and powerful but also quite frivolous.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Guderian felt that Manstein had something else in mind.
"Your student Lu Mingfei is very abnormal." Manstein turned on the computer in the library, and the two professors sat down together to watch a special video.
The video content is a clip from today's Freedom Day. There are countless cameras in Kassel College, which monitor the campus 24 hours a day with extremely high accuracy. Students who have participated in Freedom Day often go to Norma to borrow these videos to study their opponents' tactics in order to fight again next year.
"This is a clip of the battle between Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei during the day." Manstein froze the picture at the moment when Nuonuo fired the gun, zoomed in, and then adjusted the playback speed to 1 frame. Then the bullet slowly appeared in the camera. "Pay attention to this bullet."
According to the angle and distance of Nuo Nuo's shooting, Lu Mingfei had no possibility of avoiding it, but when the bullet reached the middle of the two sides, something strange happened. The bullet that was fine in the previous frame suddenly shattered in the next frame, and Lu Mingfei's position also leaned forward compared to before. Her palm was facing forward, as if holding something invisible, which meant that the bullet was destroyed by her in some way.
"Is it [Time Zero]?" Guderian was shocked.
That is the most special word spirit among all the known word spirits. Those who possess Time Zero can travel through this world like a ghost, living in the cracks of time. They can almost stop time, an ability that is very DIO. It is said that they can easily deal with opponents at the Dragon King level.
There is such a person who possesses this kind of word spirit in Kassel Academy, Hilbert Jean Angers, the principal of Kassel Academy, who has S-level bloodline.
"It's more exaggerated than you think." Manstein said calmly, "The camera we used has 100 frames per second. Lu Mingfei's movements and the disintegration of the bullet both changed around 1 frame. In other words, Lu Mingfei destroyed the bullet within 1/100 second. Let me show you something interesting."
He pulled out a thermal image from the corner, overlapped it with the video, and drew a long circle with his hand: "In the one frame when this happened, the heat in the area from Lu Mingfei's finger to the bullet was hundreds of times higher than the surrounding area. You can see that the red color in the image has almost darkened. This phenomenon also only lasted for one frame, and it happened at the same time as her movement changed and the bullet shattered. What do you think happened?"
"She...she has two kinds of Words?" Guderian's forehead was covered with sweat. "How is this possible? Only the noble first-generation species can master so many Words, because they use the ultimate of the elements themselves! Ordinary hybrids can only master one kind of Word!"
"If we assume that the camera had a problem due to the high heat, which caused the image to be interrupted for a moment, the thermal image will not lie." Manstein pointed to the frozen image on the screen, the area that was red to almost black, "In this moment, the high heat destroyed the bullet from the inside out. Look at the cracks. Does it look like it was cut by something? And it only lasted for a very short time. The only word spirit I can imagine that fits the description is [Zhulong]. It is the ultimate fire element, the power of the king of bronze and fire. When it is activated, it can even boil the entire Yangtze River."
"It sounds like [Zhulong] used the fire element to form a knife in an instant, but such a powerful word spirit will not last for such a short time. There is no time to shrink, and it is impossible to release it in an instant." Guderian shook his head. The more powerful the word spirit, the greater the cost. There is no shortage of terrifying power in the word spirit that is enough to destroy the world. For example, the ultimate word spirit [Rhine] can destroy everything after being released. The releaser can only survive in the center for a few tenths of a second.
"If your student really has mastered the [Zhulong], then perhaps a dragon king has sneaked into our academy." Manstein said, "Earth, water, wind and fire, the four alchemical elements. The four noble first-generation monarchs each mastered one. That is their innate power, a gift from the black dragon emperor Nidhogg. It is impossible for a half-blood to master such power."
"It's incredible. I can't think of a reasonable explanation other than [Zhulong]. How did Lu Mingfei do it?"
"I can only think that she used a word spirit at that moment, some unknown, brand new word spirit that does not exist in the word spirit periodic table, and her bloodline must be higher than the vice-principal. Only in this way can she be suppressed by the [Discipline] and at the same time bypass the surveillance of the high-speed camera to split a flying bullet." Manstein enlarged the thermal imaging image. The extreme black high-temperature area was as unpredictable as the bottom of an abyss. "It can maintain high heat for an instant and quickly cut through steel. Don't you think this is a characteristic of some kind of substance?"
"Laser cutting knife?" Guderian thought for a moment and said.
"Yes! It's light!" Manstein said loudly, "This is a very reasonable guess! In this one frame, Lu Mingfei condensed light energy as a blade to cut the bullet. This is why ! Only the thermal imaging image can tell what happened at this moment!"
"A brand new Word Spirit!" Guderian's expression gradually became delighted. The Word Spirit Periodic Table had not been updated for more than ten years, and the hybrids had never stopped exploring the power of the dragon race. If their inference was correct, this matter would be enough to shock the hybrids around the world. Everyone would know that Cassel had an ace, and her name was Lu Mingfei.
"We should put this word spirit in the right place immediately!" As professors, Manstein and Guderian were both obsessed old pedants. Once they made a new discovery, they were always eager to show it as their results.
"The characteristic of this word spirit is to manipulate light. We don't know the extent to which it can do this, otherwise we should give it a name first." Guderian said, "What element is light? Fire or wind?"
"Perhaps we can ask Lu Mingfei directly." Manstein suggested, "That's her own words, she should know it very well."
Guderian was stunned, and he suddenly remembered the reason why he was here.
"I think she doesn't have time to see us right now. She has a lot of things that are bothering her." Guderian said slowly, "Actually... I have a headache too."
"Is that why you're in the library?"
"Yes." Guderian nodded, "Lu Mingfei, she has no resonance with the Word Spirit [Emperor]."
