When she woke up, Lu Mingfei was in a classically decorated study. He was lying on a leather bench. There was a lotus-shaped crystal chandelier on top of his head and bookshelves all around him.
Lu Mingfei sat up and looked around. The professor was dozing off by the desk.
"You're awake? Lu Mingfei's voice woke Professor Guderian up. He lifted his messy head from the table.”Where was this place?
Did we fail? I thought the train had crashed into a mountain. Lu Mingfei still had lingering fear.
We've already reached Kassel College Road, and the journey has been very smooth. How could we have crashed into a mountain? It's just that you were too scared during the orientation, so you asked to go over, so you were carried off the train…Professor Guderian said," In the past, the students who received the entrance guidance were also quite surprised. However, such a big reaction from you was really unprecedented.
I'm not overreacting, I'm just…Fine, I just ran out of money. I slept at the train station for three days straight and only ate three sandwiches during that time. Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his voice.'But you said' dragon 'on the train? Is the noble university I went to study abroad a training school for dragon slayers?' Please!
" Are you that afraid of dragons?" Gordian shrugged.”
"I just think you're crazy, Professor. The way you talked to me just now…Have you seen 'Terminator'?”Lu Mingfei shook his head.
"I have. It's the work that made the governor of California famous.”Gordian didn't understand.
"Like John? " Connor's mother told the police that she saw a robot that came back from time travel. He came from an era when humans were almost extinct. The robot was shooting around with a laser rifle…" Lu Mingfei nodded." So…the police think she's crazy…"
"Do you think I'm crazy?”
"If not, I did."
" Well, we have prepared some proof for the new students. Some of them have poor perception..." Professor Guderian clapped his hands.
The door to the study opened, and a middle-aged man with the words " I'm Japanese " written on his face walked in quickly. There was a black suitcase in each of his hands, and the silver metal edges looked quite sturdy and reliable. After he placed the two suitcases on the table, he bowed respectfully to Lu Mingfei and introduced himself in fluent Chinese." My name is Masashi Tomiyama, a psychological counselor at Kassel Academy. It's a pleasure to meet our'S 'grade freshmen. It's been more than 40 years since we've had an'S' grade freshman.”
" I'm very happy. I can ask what kind of person that'S 'grade freshman from more than 40 years ago was. Was he a peerless dragon-slaying expert?" Lu Mingfei had already gotten used to using these people's train of thought to speak.
"Maybe he had a chance, but he committed suicide by swallowing a gun in his second year of university, so there's no more news.”Masashi Toyama was very frank.
"Suicide by swallowing a spear?"
" Because his grades were too good and his mind was very sharp, he fell into some philosophical dilemma when he was studying the dragon code. He couldn't get out of it for a while and swallowed a gun. Later on, we added a psychology instructor.”Masashi Toyama said.
" That's great." Lu Mingfei felt a little relaxed." Professor Guderian just said that I'm slow.”
"But you have potential! My dear student!" Professor Salderian happily gave Lu Mingfei and Masashi Tomiyama a thumbs up. It was obvious that he was the best student. Lu Mingfei had no idea why he was so happy.
"We brought two pieces of evidence that prove that dragons do exist in this world. These two pieces are very high-level cultural relics. We specially borrowed them from the academy's archives.”Masashi Tomiyama opened the first suitcase with his password and fingerprint. Inside the suitcase was black foam. After removing the layers of foam, Lu Mingfei saw a piece of black scale. It was about the size of half a palm and was in the shape of a perfect shield. The surface was so smooth that it looked like it had been newly oiled. The texture was clearly visible under the oil.
"Give it a squeeze." Masashi Toyama encouraged.
Lu Mingfei carefully picked up the scale. He felt that it was fake. It felt like steel, cold and tough, but very light. At this moment, Masashi Tomiyama grabbed his hand and stuffed something cold into his palm. Lu Mingfei was terrified. It was actually a pistol.
"Walter's PPK pistol, caliber 7.65mm, initial speed 280m/s, effective range 50m. The guys in the equipment department made some improvements to it. Now, you can try to use it to shoot at that scale.”Masashi Toyama took the scale and placed it on the windowsill.
"I know this gun…007 uses it too.”Lu Mingfei's face was pale.
"Yes, that classic 007 pistol.”Masashi Tomiyama covered his ears and said," It's fine. Just shoot. Aim at the scales, not us."”
Lu Mingfei raised his gun with a bitter expression. He aimed at the scale according to what he had learned during his high school military training. He took a deep breath and clenched his teeth as he pulled the trigger.
With a loud bang, Lu Mingfei felt as if he had been hit in the chest by a heavy hammer. He almost fainted. The recoil from the modified PKK made him feel as if he had just fired a cannonball. He flipped backward and crashed into the sofa behind him. His eyes were filled with stars.
"So he's not the kind of student with excellent physical strength!”Masashi Toyama's surprised voice rang in his ear." Maybe I should have brought an ordinary revolver.”
"Are you going to destroy Dragon Eye One with one shot?”
"It has to at least leave a mark on the fourth or fifth generation to be considered a good gun.”Masashi Toyama said.
Lu Mingfei woke up with difficulty. The first thing he saw was Professor Guderian and Masashi Tomiyama's worried faces. The second thing he saw was the black scale in Masashi Tomiyama's hand. It was a flawless black scale, and nothing had left a mark on its surface. Lu Mingfei was very confident that his shot had hit the center of the scale.
A gun that was comparable to an aerial cannon could pierce through that scale.
"This is Dragon Scale, 1900 Sven? He Ding found it in the ancient city of Loulan in Xinjiang. He didn't recognize it, but he found that neither fire nor hammer could damage it, so he brought it back to Europe from China. Someone in Europe recognized it, and that person was called Menech? Cassel. Do you believe in the existence of dragons now?”Masashi Toyama said.
"Can't it be high-tech?" Lu Mingfei was still stubborn.
"Even titanium alloy made from nanotechnology can't block such a shot, right?”Masashi Tomiyama said," I have a PhD in materials science from Tokyo University. You have to believe me.”
Lu Mingfei thought that not only were there lunatics everywhere, but there were also highly educated lunatics everywhere.
"Alright, then, the second proof is that you don't need to use your brain to think.”Masashi Toyama stood up and opened the second suitcase. A cylindrical glass bottle was placed in front of Lu Mingfei. It looked like the bottle that the biology teacher used to store specimens in.
Lu Mingfei opened his mouth wide as if he had been struck by lightning. If Masashi Tomiyama had stuffed an orange into his mouth, he probably wouldn't have noticed.
Soaked in the pale yellow formalin solution was an animal that looked very much like a lizard. It was yellow-white and had a curled up slender tail, like a fetus in the womb. The scales on its body and the long whiskers on its mouth were slowly fluttering in the solution. When its eyes were closed, it looked as peaceful as a baby. If it wasn't for the fact that it had two wings on its back, Lu Mingfei would have thought that it was some kind of ancient lizard.
" This is the cub of a red dragon. It's not dead yet. It's very difficult for dragons to die. Even if you kill it, it's only temporary. They will slowly recover in their sleep," Masashi Tomiyama said." This is a very rare specimen. Usually, it's difficult for humans to capture a complete dragon because the dragon's brain can feel the radiation of the human brain. They will either attack before humans approach or escape. This specimen was found in India in 1796. Fortunately, this red dragon cub was probably swallowed by a python when it just hatched. The local farmer killed the python and got the baby from its stomach.”
"Is it really not plastic?" Lu Mingfei sounded like he was about to cry.
"Take a closer look and see the details. Look at the patterns of the scales. What kind of artist can make such a perfect plastic product?”Masashi Tomiyama brought the glass bottle to Lu Mingfei's eyes.
Now, Lu Mingfei was facing the red dragon cub through a half-centimeter thick layer of glass. Its membrane wings and long whiskers were fluttering in the solution, as if it was floating in the clouds. If it was still alive and could feel each other's breath, it might spit out a deadly flame and burn Lu Mingfei's face completely. Masashi Tomiyama was right. The details and lines were too realistic. Only nature or God could give birth to such things. They existed in the shadows of history, in the legends of different ethnic groups, in the limits of human imagination, and in this sealed glass bottle.
"Perfect, isn't it?" Masashi Tomiyama praised.
"Perfect." Lu Mingfei mumbled.
He stared at the hard membrane that covered the Dragon's Eye and thought of the pair of golden eyes that slowly opened in the darkness. It was as if the gate to the world had opened before his eyes.
The Golden Eyes opened. Suddenly, the baby Red Dragon that was soaked in the formalin solution opened its eyes. Its entire body trembled as if it was spasming. It stretched its neck and roared at Lu Mingfei. As it roared, the scorching dragon flames ignited deep in its throat and spewed out! It spread its wings with all its might and was about to break through the shackles of the glass bottle. It woke up. Its body was as big as a cat, but it carried the majesty of a dragon.
Lu Mingfei lost the ability to scream and dodge. The three of them were dumbfounded as they watched the ancient specimen resurrect in front of them.
The tiny flame was immediately extinguished. The formalin solution poured into the baby dragon's throat, causing it to cough in pain like a drowning person. At the same time, it could not break through the glass bottle. It shook its membrane wings forcefully, but it did not even leave a mark on the glass wall. This time, the recovery that had accumulated for hundreds of years ended as quickly as it began. Soon, the dragon cub curled up again and returned to peace. It entered hibernation again.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Lu Mingfei was finally able to scream as he pointed at the glass bottle with a trembling finger.
"What is it called?" Professor Guderian muttered.
"Didn't you see? Didn't you see? It had come back to life just now! It came back to life! A living dragon!" Lu Mingfei shouted as he shook the dumbfounded old man.
" Yes," Professor Guderian turned to Masashi Toyama." You saw it too, right?”
Masashi Tomiyama's face was as pale as a sheet of A4 paper. He only nodded." Yes... but I really didn't want it to wake up. I didn't know it would wake up..." He suddenly raised his voice, almost screaming." What happened?" Did the people at the archives get the label wrong? It should be the year 2077! They'll kill us if they label us like this! It had just spat out dragon flames! Dragon flames!"
" Fortunately, we changed the nano material container from the year before last, or it wouldn't have been able to hold on just now," Professor Guderian said." Professor Manstein and I calculated its awakening date. It shouldn't be wrong unless it's a bloodline summoning."”
"Bloodline Summoning?" Masashi Tomiyama turned to look at Lu Mingfei. His gaze was as if he was sizing up a monster.
"Other than bloodline summoning, what else can awaken dragons in advance?”Professor Guderian suddenly regained his spirit and patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder." It's your powerful bloodline that's summoning it. Lu Mingfei, do you know how amazing you are now?”
Lu Mingfei's shoulders were about to collapse from his pat." What? Don't push this kind of fatal accident onto me! I didn't do anything!"
"The Dragon Emperor can make humans submit to him just by staring at him. You don't have to do anything because you're a mixed-blood dragon with the ability of a second-generation seed!”Professor Guderian's eyes were filled with ecstasy.
"What mixed-blood? My father is a human, and my mother is also a human. Have you read too much Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio? Did they think that the people of the Celestial Empire had children?”Lu Mingfei couldn't stand the old man's gaze.
"No, no, they are indeed all humans, but they are all mixed-blood dragons, so your bloodline contains a large proportion of dragon blood.”Professor Zhengderian chuckled." In fact, almost everyone in this college is a dragon hybrid. You know about the priority, right? In addition to results and potential, the most important thing to determine the priority was the bloodline class.”
Lu Mingfei shuddered. He felt like Professor Guderian was an old dragon that could spit deadly flames at his face at any moment. What kind of place was this? A dragon hybrid from the First Academy. What was the difference between this place and the dragon nest? And he felt that he was a little white rabbit in the lizard's nest. Professor Guderian even said that he had a high proportion of dragon blood. Before coming here, his family, his life, and the girl he liked had nothing to do with dragons. Why was a good teenager who grew up under the red flag suddenly seen as a reptile?
"But don't worry, if your dragon bloodline doesn't exceed 50%, then students who exceed 50% won't be accepted. Although their potential is far beyond ordinary people, the dragon bloodline will slowly assimilate them into dragon followers.”Professor Guderian said.
"Then do you have any grudges against dragons?"
" The whole human race has a grudge against the dragon race, not us." Professor Guderian pondered for a moment." But you have to explain this in detail in your introductory class on the dragon family lineage. Your teacher will be our best teacher in the theory of the dragon race, Professor Manstein." Now that you know about the existence of the dragon race and understand the purpose of our academy, can we start choosing our courses now?”
"Is it too late to learn now?" Lu Mingfei shrugged.
"Then your parents will be very disappointed…And the agreement you just signed includes the term 'memory cleaning'. If you quit school, this memory will be wiped out. You've already seen the real world.”
" There are dragons in the real world, but not in our world…" Lu Mingfei said.
"There are more than just dragons in the real world. The world is so vast that you can't imagine it. Compared to it, the world you know is just a grain of rice placed in the wilderness.”Masashi Toyama said.
"In short, if I choose to be a small grain of rice now, will I lose my memory?”Lu Mingfei sounded like he was about to cry. However, he was tempted. The real world was just a grain of rice. Those who lived in a grain of rice would never know the vastness of the wilderness. In the middle of that vast wilderness, the Dragon Emperor stood tall and upright. When you see the real, vast world, are you still willing to shrink back into the rice grain?
" It's not just amnesia." Professor Guderian stood behind Lu Mingfei and patted him on the shoulder." Think about it. Your parents are dragon descendants, and your uncle and aunt don't like you. You obviously have no other strengths. If you lose your memory and are sent back to China, you have to repeat a year of college. Can you imagine how miserable your life will be?”
This seemingly simple-minded old fellow accurately hit Lu Mingfei's weakness. His slight yearning for the grand world and his great fear of repeating the college entrance examination instantly crushed him. He didn't have any principles that he had to stick to. He was originally a person with no sense of existence.
He took a deep breath and raised his hand." Alright, I agree to choose the course.”
" My suggestion is for you to choose 'Introduction to Dragon Family Lineage',' Level 1 Magical Machinery Design 'and' Level 1 Alchemy Chemistry 'as your major courses. For foreign languages, I suggest you choose' Ancient Norse language'. For physical education, you can choose 'Tai Chi Fist' and 'Physical Fitness.' This way, you will get 13 credits. 13 classes per week is not too much. The dean said that your parents called and asked to raise the requirements for you. If you follow my schedule, you'll soon master the core knowledge of the dragon race. I'll make you the second well-deserved'S 'grade student in Kassel Academy in more than 40 years!”Professor Guderian was obviously prepared, and his eyes were shining with excitement.
"What kind of parents don't understand their children…Do they think I'm a genius? What is Old Norse? Can you tell me what it is?”Lu Mingfei took a deep breath." Alright, I want to ask directly. If I fail…what will happen?”
2.〉"Retake, it's just retake. Unless there are special circumstances, Kassel Academy won't expel students. Some students have failed their subjects for several years or even decades.”said Professor Guderian in a comforting voice."Do you remember Fingal? He has been in the fourth grade for four years, but he has never passed his thesis defense. Actually, I think that he chose the dragon nervous system as a topic that is a little too deep.”
Lu Mingfei didn't think that this was comfort. This was a blatant threat.
"Cheer up. At least as I promised, you can skip Chinese.”Professor Guderian saw Lu Mingfei's uneasiness. He clenched his fist and encouraged him," You have to believe that you are the best! You're an unprecedented'S 'class. The principal specially asked me to be your instructor.”
"Alright, I agree. I'll sign it. I'll sign everything. I have one last question. Why do you have to study Chinese? Why are you all speaking Chinese?" Lu Mingfei said.
" This is also why our college, which has never recruited students from Asia, specially reserved a spot for Chinese students this year." Professor Guderian and Masashi Tomiyama looked at each other." Because this round, Dragon King Norton's resting place is in China." Kassel Academy has made modern Chinese a compulsory course since the year before last, because each of you is shouldering the task of going deep into the hinterland of China to kill the Dragon King!”
"No wonder you were assigned jobs after graduation…If you were to teach something like this elsewhere, people would think that you're crazy.”He sighed to Ming Fei.
"Yeah, according to the documents you signed, we even helped you pay for your medical insurance!”Professor Guderian said.
"Baishou, you guys are in the dragon-slaying business. How can you live without medical insurance? How much is the highest amount of insurance? 50 million USD?"
"It's to fly your body back to China for free…"
“What？”Lu Mingfei's eyes were wide open like copper bells, and his head was buzzing. He thought of a corpse covered in a white sheet being found off the plane with a familiar name on the label on his head-" Lu Mingfei."
