Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 91: Wind, Firefly, and Moon (Part 2)
"It is indeed a living sword. Pulling it out is like playing a game with someone." Caesar pinched his palm, leaving a deep red mark on the part where he had just grasped the handle.
As the heir of the Gattuso family, Caesar was young but definitely well-informed. He had the opportunity to see most of the world's famous swords in person or get in touch with perfect imitations. But among those swords, there has never been a sword as strange as this set. It doesn't feel like a human is drawing the sword, but more like the sword sucking the dragon's blood in its body. If the dangerous guys behind are really used, I'm afraid the sword dancer himself will have to offer his own dragon blood, right?
"Chu Zihang, it's your turn." said the vice principal.
"Yes." Chu Zihang walked to the table and breathed slowly. He did not have strong arms like Caesar to use violence directly. His body was more lean and powerful, so he specialized in Tai Chi in terms of physical fitness and was good at bursting out strength with flexibility.
When the lust was unsheathed, it was as easy as prying open disposable chopsticks. When pulling out the Taotie, he used a horse stance, focused his mind on Dantian and concentrated his strength, and succeeded in one go.
Greed made Caesar waste a lot of effort. When it came to the third hand, Chu Zihang had to go all out. His expressionless face would make people think that he had little inner richness and probably would not like to be an opponent with Caesar. In fact, he was actually very happy to make progress together with people like Caesar. You can find an opponent who is stronger than you, and it is even easier to find a weaker one, but it is very difficult to meet someone who is almost as good as you. If you relax in front of such a good player, you will definitely lose. Only hard work can have the possibility of breaking through.
Chu Zihang adjusted his grip on the greedy hilt, concentrating his mind, and the long breath seemed to flow from his breath to the tip of his fingers. At the moment of exerting force, he also encountered the so-called game like Caesar. These living swords could instantly make the dragon blood in his body boil and be called upon. The pressure given was very great. Not only would the dragon blood not help him draw the sword, it would even hinder it, exerting force in the completely opposite direction.
He had to slow down a little. The saying that one should make a strong attack at the beginning, then weaken, and finally exhaust himself did not apply to him. He was used to launching three-stage attacks every time. The first attack was used to guess the opponent's strength, the second attack was used to test the limit, and the third attack was to combine the experience of the former to launch a surprise attack.
With a second effort, Greed was unsheathed perfectly with the sound of a clear sword, striking the target all the way in one go.
Next is laziness. At this stage, the seven deadly sins have shown a weight and size that cannot be easily controlled by normal people, which means that the difficulty increases exponentially.
Chu Zihang rested for a moment and then grasped the hilt of the sword. He still had some strength left to use, but the same move seemed particularly ridiculous in front of Laziness. The heavy sword blade didn't even move a bit until Chu Zihang's face turned slightly red from repeated sawing. Only then did Laziness reveal a slight glimmer of blade light from the sword case.
"This is my limit." Chu Zihang had no choice but to give up.
Caesar's expression was always calm, but his heart was not necessarily calm. He failed to make Laziness move, but Chu Zihang did it. This meant that the so-called Super A rumors about Chu Zihang in the academy were not groundless. He seemed to have lost for no reason.
"S-level." The vice principal did not call Lu Mingfei by her name, but referred to her by her bloodline. "It's your turn."
With two big guys in charge, Lu Mingfei's heart is beating fast and furious. According to Cassel's bloodline theory, she must do better than the two big guys. However, seeing that the big guys have tried their best and still can't even pass half of it, she thinks her little arms and legs are definitely not enough.
Lu Mingfei stood beside the table, pretending to move her wrists to make herself look normal. No one knew a person's physical condition better than herself. She was not the sickly type since childhood, but she had never taken any special exercise. The most she did was to stay in front of the computer, which resulted in her poor physical condition.
Holding Lust with both hands, Lu Mingfei used all her strength from the beginning. The whole sword box was even lifted one centimeter off the table, but Lust remained motionless.
...This is so fucking embarrassing! Lu Mingfei felt like she had lost all her dignity at this moment, with a light cherry pink color crawling up to her ears. If she hadn't pulled out the second and third knives, she could still pretend to be weak and say that she was ill today and couldn't do anything, and that she was embarrassed by all the heroes. But the guy didn't even show any respect for the first knives. Obviously, this thing looked about the same size as a letter opener, but it seemed to be determined to make Lu Mingfei look bad.
The vice-principal and Ange looked at each other. Although it was immoral, this extremely embarrassing moment almost made the two old guys laugh. The situation was a bit unexpected.
"It's okay. I can ask them to pull it out and give it to you." The vice-president was having a hard time trying to hold back his laughter, but he still tried to act very serious. "I will give the box to Professor Manstein for safekeeping. When you arrive at the battlefield, these companions will be your best helpers."
Caesar and Chu Zihang simultaneously put their hands on Lu Mingfei's shoulders and patted them gently. The man's comfort was so simple and silent, at least it took Lu Mingfei's thin skin into consideration.
"The exam ends here, disband." Ange looked at the three future elites standing shoulder to shoulder, "Next time we meet, I hope you will return with the honor of slaying a dragon."
The door closed, and the two bosses left with the distraught newbie. Caesar suddenly suggested that they go out for dinner together to commemorate their first cooperation.
If it was only Chu Zihang, Caesar would definitely not have dragged him along and said, "Let's go release our burning gay passion." This was because of the beautiful girl Lu Mingfei. The original intention was basically to invite only Lu Mingfei, and Chu Zihang was only brought along for the sake of appearance.
Chu Zihang waved his hand to refuse, because he had just eaten before going out. If it wasn't for the call from Principal Angers that saved his stomach, he would have been forced to save face and stuff himself like a hamster in the Chinese restaurant with Lu Mingfei, and still have to give a thumbs up and say that the food was delicious.
Lu Mingfei also rejected the invitation, saying that eating before setting out to fight for one's life is called a last meal in China, and that if you eat this time, you will definitely not be able to come back, so it would be more appropriate to wait until you succeed and come back to hold a celebration banquet. Of course, the main reason was that she was too embarrassed just now, and she was in a bad mood at the moment.
In the ward behind the young people, the vice-president returned to his bed, took out a bottle of whiskey drank it all.
"Now we can say that Lu Mingfei's bloodline is well-deserved S-level." The vice-principal did not seem to think the little girl's performance just now was embarrassing.
"All the swords are awakened by her bloodline and are ready to use. She can't pull out any of them simply because she doesn't have the strength. The seven deadly sins are stronger than the suction of bloodline that an ordinary girl of this age should have." Angé was also a little amused.
"Our S-class just needs enough physical training. I will personally guide her in the next swimming class." The vice-principal looked serious.
"It's human nature to like looking at pretty girls in swimsuits, but using power to disguise yourself is a bit disrespectful."
"No, I think I'm still a young man, and young people should appreciate the beauty of pretty girls. Those who don't like them should be called gays. Shouldn't I go and see S-level beauties, but develop some forbidden love with an old man like you?" The vice-principal raised his eyebrows.
"I haven't eaten yet, please don't disturb my appetite with your dirty thoughts, thank you."
When people get old, they always want to talk to more people. For these old monsters who have lived for many years, there are not many friends left in this world. Fortunately, they are still alive, so they will not be so lonely in the future when they gradually move towards death .
"Come to think of it, have you been hiding something from me?" The vice principal shook the bottle and watched the amber liquid inside rise and fall.
"A guy like me who has lived for so many years, of course I have as many secrets." Angé shrugged without comment.
"You already know that each of the four dragon monarchs has twins. There is only one dragon king in the bone bottle you brought back. Since Cassel was built, it has never been invaded by dragons. On the night of this incident, Dragon King Norton woke up on campus. Obviously, he is one of the invaders." The vice-president took a sip of wine and looked into Angers' eyes. "Can you say this is a coincidence? Dragon King Norton appeared on campus in an incomplete form. It was obviously a premeditated plan."
Angers did not answer, but just looked out the window silently. The weather was very good today. It was rare to see such a clear sky in the bustling city. It was just like the quiet summer days in the German manor many years ago. Time passed by at his fingertips.
"I'm tired of this kind of life." Angers said lightly.
"What are you tired of? The life of slaying a dragon, or yourself."
"It's both. I have lived for more than a hundred years. Thanks to the gift of dragon blood, I am still alive. Over the past hundred years, all my friends have died, leaving only you, old guy. We are two rare flowers in Kassel Academy that should have withered long ago, but we are still standing here, letting the resurrected blood of the Dragon King splash on our hands." Angé looked at his hands.
"Because the younger generation has not yet taken on the responsibility of protecting this world, we have been looking forward to a new generation of leaders, an opponent that even the Dragon King can fear." The vice principal said, "Luckily, we now have many outstanding talents, Caesar, Chu Zihang, and S-level Lu Mingfei. There are more students with A-level bloodlines than in any other era. I have to admit that they have some character flaws, but this is not a problem for geniuses."
"I can't wait any longer, Leonardo."
Ange called the vice-principal by his real name for the first time in a long time. Most people who knew of the vice-principal's existence respectfully called him the terrifying Mentor Flamel, so much so that many years later, when the first group of people who knew the vice-principal's real name died, everyone thought that the vice-principal had always been called Nicolas Flamel.
"I don't have much time left. As a person who has lived for more than 130 years, how many opportunities can I seize? I must complete what I should do in the remaining time and resolve this war between humans and dragons once and for all."
"You're going to kill the dragons instead of constantly preventing them from waking up?" asked the Vice Principal.
"Yes, I will kill the four monarchs and force them into a dead end, forcing them to gamble their almost eternal lives and fight to the end with humans." Ange whispered, "You are right, Norton's appearance is premeditated and inevitable. Only in this way can we face the two incomplete bronze and fire kings at the same time. Constantine's death has pushed Norton to a dead end. He is in a bad state but still wants to take revenge on us. This is a great opportunity. We will write the prelude of a new era with the corpses of the monarchs."
"But I don't understand, how did you know for sure that the human was the Dragon King Norton?" The vice principal was puzzled. This was not common for him. "Even the most advanced alchemy cannot identify the Dragon King in human form."
"Do you still remember the [Prince]?"
"of course I remember."
For the Cassel members who experienced the Battle of Greenland, Prince is a code name that they will never forget.
At that time, the secret party was still searching for traces of the dragons all over the world, eager to find the dragons still in their cocoons. A guy codenamed Prince posted a message on the hunter website, saying that he had salvaged some strange bronze fragments in the waters of Greenland. Cassel immediately recognized that these were the remains of the dragons and offered to buy them from him, but the prince refused and said that he admired the scientific researchers very much and was willing to donate these fragments for free.
The secret party then went to the Greenland waters to conduct exploration and salvage. During the process, they discovered a strong heartbeat sound just under the seabed. There was an obvious dragon territory around it, which made it difficult for ordinary creatures to approach, and hybrids would encounter fatal hallucinations.
The secret party was ecstatic, as all the characteristics indicated that this was a dragon embryo of extremely high purity. If it could be analyzed, they would be able to learn more about this ancient life form, the dragon.
Soon the secret party mobilized the elite personnel and equipment of the time to launch a search for the embryo, but they were almost wiped out, with only one and a half people surviving. The extremely horrific battle losses and events made the secret party, who had recovered from the shock, realize that it was most likely a Dragon King.
Since this incident, the prince has disappeared. The supercomputer Norma has been searching for him all over the world, but ten years have passed and still nothing has been found, until today when Angers mentioned the name again.
"This is a secret between us." Ange whispered, "The prince seems to be able to predict the process of the Dragon King's awakening and manipulate it. No matter whether it is Greenland or the King of Bronze and Fire, he throws out the information first and then we take it over. This is obviously a bait, but we have to take it. There is no unnecessary interference in the whole process. To some extent, the prince can even be regarded as our ally in the dark. The problem is that we don't know who he is, or if he is not a human at all. Before we find out, I hope you keep it secret from everyone."
