Volume 2 Hello, Xia Mi Chapter 141 We are all Chu Zihang’s wings (I)
Valhalla, Kassel.
Just as its name suggests, it is the hall prepared by Odin for the day of Ragnarok. The heroic Valkyries receive the souls of all the heroic dead. These brave and skilled warriors will drink and practice martial arts in Valhalla day after day, constantly improving themselves, until the day of Ragnarok comes, when Odin will lead them to welcome the rebirth in destruction.
The four walls of the conference hall in Valhalla are covered with murals describing this story. Modern painting techniques and pigments have enabled these murals to maintain their bright colors for at least several hundred years without external human damage.
When Lu Mingfei first entered here, she recognized at a glance that the tall figure riding the thunder horse and holding the tender branch of the world tree in the mural was Odin.
It was unknown whether the painters of these murals had the good fortune to see the Nordic god of war in person like she did, but at least the painters showed a high degree of consistency with reality in their depiction of the god. To highlight Odin's dominance, an entire wall was used to depict the god. Every pattern on his armor was lifelike, and lightning fragments flew in the air around him. The Gungnir, made of young branches from the world tree, was perfectly reproduced in the mural like the javelin used by medieval cavalry. Even the eight long legs of Sleipnir under his seat were exactly the same as Lu Mingfei's impression.
It is no coincidence that this kind of mural appears in Kassel College. Just like other buildings, there are Dala, Vimalakirti, and Brahma from Indian mythology. The earliest prototypes of myths that have been passed down for many years in human history all come from the reflection of dragon history, and Odin is one of them. The college speculates that the gods in the Norse mythology are all descendants of the dragon clan, but their specific identities are unknown.
The Hall of Heroes is packed today. Principal Angers was impeached by the board of directors and could not show up. Chu Zihang, the Lionheart president and one of the campus elites, was subjected to a bloodline investigation. Everyone knows that Chu Zihang is Angers' substitute. If he fails to overcome this difficulty, the board of directors' judgment on Angers will come true.
Chu Zihang stood in the square wooden fence in the center of the conference hall with an expressionless face, which made him look like a felon who was about to be stripped naked in front of the righteous judges. From his past life trajectory to his usual joys and sorrows, any tiny little thing could become a handle that could be seized upon. Moreover, he had no right to remain silent and had to answer every sharp and incisive question.
The jury was composed of the directors of various departments. When they took their seats, most students cast curious glances at them, thinking that these people looked a bit like the photos of great men who had made significant contributions to human society mentioned in their high school textbooks.
In most people's minds, these scientists who experienced the First and Second World Wars have passed away for many years, but in fact, after they disappeared from human society, they became members of the Kassel Academy, and spent the rest of their lives approaching the door of truth, rarely showing up in the academy. If it weren't for the impeachment of the president, which hadn't happened for a century, they would never have crawled out of the underground research institute to see the light of day, and they were so old that they looked like they were dug out of a grave.
Even Principal Angers had little to do with them. The guy who was nitpicking on the road of science was definitely an impartial messenger of pure justice. They didn't care whether Angers would be impeached or Chu Zihang would be dismissed. The school board dug out these old researchers to make decisions on school affairs, just to fool them. Whoever provided more testimony would be more credible in the eyes of these old science and engineering guys.
Opposite them was the entire school board investigation team, led by Frost Gattuso, the current head of the Gattuso family and the most visible member of the school board, and Secretary Percy stood beside him. This person was the heavyweight, and the others were not on the list. If Frost was dealt with, it would mean that the group of people behind him were useless. This matter could not be solved by numbers.
Frost's daily schedule was usually very tight and he had no time to do anything extra. Millions per second was not enough to describe the wealth he handled. European bankers who wanted to see him had to line up and hand in their business cards.
But today he came to Kassel College in person, which means that the board of directors is determined to impeach Angers.
In the eyes of the school board, Ange was the hound they had chosen, responsible for leading the hounds to sniff out the dragons and then rush over to bite them to death. If a hound dared to bare its teeth at its master, hide the prey it had hunted, and protect the ferocious hounds behind it, in the hands of the hunter, it should be hung up and cooked into a pot of hot dog meat to whet the appetite of the new hound leader.
There are not enough seats in Valhalla for all students in the school to watch the fun. Only those selected student representatives have a seat. They are usually students with outstanding performance. As for the mediocre ones, they can only stand and watch as spectators. Being able to watch such a good show can be considered a kind of learning.
The Lionheart Club took half of the seats, all wearing black scarves, looking serious as if they were attending the funeral of their boss. The other half of the seats were taken by the Student Union, who never agreed with the Lionheart Club and chose white scarves. The famous Student Union Lace White Dress Girls Group all attended, and Caesar sat among the swaying skirts like a Roman emperor with his harem. Appearing in this way obviously had the flavor of showing off. It seemed that the Student Union President Caesar came here to watch the fun, and who knows if he would take the opportunity to do something bad to Chu Zihang.
The paparazzi were keenly aware that the second-in-command of both groups did not show up. Both Nuonuo and Susie were absent from the meeting. They were said to be carrying out a mission in Sichuan. But there was no need to worry about not finding the protagonist of the scandal. Lu Mingfei, the only designated S-level student of the school, was sitting in the corner of the Lionheart Club. It could be seen that she was wearing makeup and dressed up exquisitely. She probably wanted to fight against the lace white dress offensive of the Student Union on her own.
But one person is a bit too arrogant, fortunately there is a second person who can calm the situation with her beauty. Xia Mi, the new candidate for the strongest school beauty, leads a group of fanboys from the freshman fraternity and sits on the Lionheart Club side, holding a bunch of budding lilies in her hand. You can tell who it is for even if you throw away your brain.
With these two in the Lionheart Club, they will be able to control the situation and will not lose to Caesar's harem in momentum.
The paparazzi thought this scene was really interesting. For example, as a member of the Student Union, Lu Mingfei should have been sitting on the Student Union side at this moment, but she was in the Lionheart Club and obviously expressed her position in this way. In her eyes, Boss Caesar was far less important than Chu Zihang. If you say that there is nothing real between Lu and Chu, no one would believe it.
In addition, there are scattered personnel, such as the vice-president and Finkel. The alchemist who always hides in the bell tower is nicknamed Night Watcher. Just think about the name of the forum in the academy and you will get the clue. As one of the administrators of the Night Watcher forum, Finkel has a close relationship with the vice-president. If we consider that both of them have the same classic shameless learning, maybe Finkel is also the illegitimate son of the vice-president.
Blair Bittner banged the gavel and the whole audience fell silent. He was the Einstein of mathematics and the most senior tenured professor at Kassel College. Only such an absolutely fair person was qualified to stand here as a judge.
"I declare the hearing officially open." King Solomon said solemnly, "The school board investigation team and the college management team have different opinions on the issue of A-level student Chu Zihang's bloodline. This hearing will give everyone an opportunity for open discussion. In the information provided in advance, the investigation team severely condemned the school's dereliction of duty. Allowing such a dangerous bloodline to roam in the college is undoubtedly irresponsible for the safety of every student. The school representative, the vice-president, said that this condemnation was... is his mother farting? Sorry, I don't quite understand what this sentence means."
Although Kassel College pursues Chinese education , King Solomon entered the college very early. He only knew English. Both the opening and the reports submitted to him by both parties were written in English. The vice-president's Chinese quintessence was directly translated into English, which made it difficult for him to understand.
"Fart your mother." The vice principal explained with a smile, "I like Chinese slang very much. It means that the words spoken by the other party are as smelly as his mother's fart. It only takes a few seconds to lose their sense of existence and become unconvincing. When it comes to swearing and expressing emotions, Chinese may be the richest language in the world. With various different dialects, they may have tens of thousands of ways."
"Don't curse in such a formal occasion, but I really like this way of describing my emotions. It seems necessary to learn some Chinese." King Solomon nodded. As a mathematician, he really likes rhetoric. "Then both parties please list your evidence, and we will judge who is more credible in the most fair way."
Frost looked at Percy and nodded slightly, and Percy came out with the documents in his hand. In such a situation, there was really no need for the head of Gattuso's family to argue with others until his face turned red.
"In the past ten years, the academy led by Ange can no longer be called our dragon-slaying military institution. A free and easy atmosphere pervades the campus. The excessive academic pressure allows students to spend a lot of time participating in the Night Watch Forum, reading gossip and gambling. The irresponsible free one-day activities cause a lot of financial expenditure every year for no reason. The rating of bloodlines is especially arbitrary. In recent years, there have been more bloodlines above grade A than at any other time, including mixed-bloods like Chu Zihang who have obvious extreme violent behaviors." Percy's voice was as calm as water, but loud enough for everyone to hear. The feeling of telling the story was like that of a respected teacher, which made people have to listen to his words carefully.
"Chu Zihang is not a violent hybrid. He is an excellent student with excellent grades. He has won the president's scholarship for two consecutive years." The vice president was very calm. "The most commendable thing is that he even looks around to see if there are any old ladies who need help when crossing the road. How many years have you, the comrades of the investigation team, not helped an old lady cross the road? A lifetime?"
Percy ignored this shameless villain. He turned the page of the information in his hand, and the content was displayed publicly on the big screen. The note in the lower right corner showed that it was the Cape Town Baseball Stadium, but it was different from the majestic building in most people's impressions. One-fifth of it appeared burnt black and collapsed.
"At the Cape Town Baseball Stadium, Chu Zihang used a high-risk Word Spirit like Junyan in this mission. At that time, a game was going on in the stadium. As many as tens of thousands of people witnessed him walking in the flames. Many people saw flames flash before their eyes and then found that their hair and eyebrows were singed. This scene was even filmed into a special effects video and received three million views on Youtube."
Percy retrieved another file. "This content was not mentioned in the mission report at all. It was not until recently that the records about Chu Zihang were made public. We discovered that his mission reports were always in two versions. The one he submitted did not mention the large-scale damage caused and the subsequent treatment. The other report that recorded the actual process was directly stored in the archives without going through Norma. If you don't use your permission to review it, you won't know about it. This behavior shows that the school knows the danger of Chu Zihang and deliberately concealed it."
As expected of Gattuso's secretary, his narration was calm and well-reasoned. Even an old man with Alzheimer's disease would be able to understand the whole thing. King Solomon nodded slightly. It seemed that Percy's testimony had been highly recognized by him.
"Who said these were not mentioned in our report?" The vice-president snapped his fingers.
Finkel spread out the documents and adjusted the plain glasses he had found from somewhere. After putting them on, this loser looked a bit bookish and could stand on equal footing with top secretaries like Percy.
"Note: The execution of the mission caused a small-scale riot, resulting in several minor injuries and a fire. The fire was immediately put out by the Cape Town Fire Department and did not spread. Chu Zihang was punished once and his scholarship was deducted for one month."
Everyone could see the manuscript he read. This line of notes was written in a much smaller font than the main text and was also marked on the back.
"Look, it's very strict! We always reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes in our management of students!" the vice-principal said righteously.
"It looks like a new addition." Percy looked up at the manuscript on the big screen and said lightly.
"It's because we usually write notes on the back of the files. The investigation team didn't look at it carefully enough and just turned the page, so they didn't notice it." Finkel grinned. Of course, it was newly added, and he did it himself. The information in Norma's place was written in black and white. Once entered, no one has the right to delete it at will. But there is a loophole here. It just cannot be deleted, not prohibited from adding. You only need to obtain a copy of the highest authority to add content to any file, and the vice principal happens to have a white card representing such authority.
