The flight landed at the International Airport in Chicago. Lin Nian and Lin Xian got off the plane and passed through the entry point. However, before they could retrieve their luggage, they were suddenly blocked by a group of people.
A group of fashionably dressed young people holding red banners and LED signs came over to welcome them. They screamed and cheered along the way, which shocked Lin Nian."What the hell is this?"
Lin Xian was only slightly stunned before he pulled Lin Nian away. As expected, these fanatical young people were not here for them. The blonde girl who was sitting in front of Lin Nian in the first class cabin behind them was now wearing a mask and was surrounded by a few gangsters. The burly man who was like a fitness coach was clearing the way for the blonde girl and blocking all the people who tried to touch the blonde girl at close range.
"So you're here to pick up a celebrity." Lin Nian heaved a sigh of relief.
"Should I pick you up? Actually, I'm quite supportive of your debut." Lin Xian smiled.
Many people in the lobby of the airport were holding up signs with names on them. Some were for " Jackson," some were for " Ling Se," and some were for " Jin Taiyan," but none of them were for Lin Nian and Lin Xian.
In fact, the sign that Lin Nian saw the most along the way was the " Carlyle Carpe " sign held by the fans. He then remembered that the recent American drama " The Hunt " was very popular. It was about a group of young people from Texas who were kidnapped by a madman to a farm to play a game of escape. There was a very heroic female supporting character in the drama," Carlyle Carpe." Her blonde hair and beautiful face attracted a lot of fans around the world.
"The treatment of celebrities is really good. I heard that any endorsement can earn a lot of money.”Lin Nian stood by the luggage wheel in the middle of the hall while waiting for their bags. He looked at the blonde girl who was surrounded by layers of fans and could not move an inch.
"But it's quite tiring." Lin Xian said.
"It's quite tiring for me too." Lin Nian sighed." Do you think I'll be able to sell an autographed photo to those fanatics if I squeeze in now? I might even have a better lunch today."”
"Don't be so shabby. Your sister only settled her salary a few days ago when she resigned. I have money to treat you to a big meal.”Lin Xian reached out and rubbed Lin Nian's hair.
"But then again, the fans these days are really crazy. Look at that man, he raised his sign and rushed in.”Lin Nian couldn't help but laugh when he saw a tall man with a beard in the crowd holding a whiteboard with the words " Carlyle Cape, Love of Life " written on it with both hands.
The blonde girl's bodyguard was also shocked by this bear-like guy. Perhaps he was scared by the physique of this passionate fan. This bearded man might have a better future as a kidnapper than a fan.
The blonde girl couldn't hold back his enthusiasm, so she could only take the oil pen and sign his name on his white shirt. Only then did the bearded man retreat from the crowd with satisfaction. He put down the whiteboard and wiped the words on it, then wrote something again and held it in a corner.
The bearded man was too eye-catching. Lin Nian couldn't help but take a second look at him. However, when he inadvertently glanced at the whiteboard, he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore because the new words were: welcometohicago, Lin Nian, Lin Xian
He and Lin Xian's names were specially written in Chinese. Although the handwriting was like a turtle crawling, at least they could be recognized.
"It can't be." Lin Nian couldn't help but take another look at the bearded man who was nestled in the corner. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and his hair looked like it hadn't been washed much. There was even a tomato sauce stain on the collar of his plaid shirt.
To be honest, if this guy squatted at the airport entrance like this, he could at least earn enough money to buy Burger King in a day.
Lin Nian did not know if this guy was born in the year of the dog. His gaze had only focused for a few seconds, but the other party sensed that someone was looking at him. He turned around and saw Lin Nian and Lin Xian. His eyes lit up and he raised the sign and waved it. The signature of Carlyle Carpe on the white t-shirt under the plaid shirt was particularly eye-catching. It looked especially comical.
When the luggage arrived at the roulette, Lin Nian carried the big bags while Lin Xian carried the small bags. They walked over and greeted,""Senior Brother?"
"Fingel van Frings, a student of Kassel Academy. You must be the junior brother that junior sister Mandy asked me to pick up, right? Nice to meet you." The bearded man put down the whiteboard and held Lin Nian's hand. He spoke in fluent Chinese,""You just got off the plane, right? You've worked hard, you've worked hard."
Lin Nian said in his heart,'It's not hard at all. How can it be as hard as you? You're picking me up from the airport and also part-time chasing after celebrities.'
As if noticing Lin Nian's gaze on his T-shirt, Fingel tugged at it and said,""I don't chase after celebrities. This is an autograph for the other juniors in the school. I'm a soft-hearted person. I really can't withstand the pleading gazes of the juniors…"
Lin Nian looked at the white t-shirt that was soaked in the sweat of the macho man. It was difficult for him to imagine the expression of his junior brother after getting the autograph. Should it be like he had obtained a treasure or was it like he had abandoned it?
"Thank you for coming all the way to pick us up, Senior Brother Fingel. I am Lin Nian's sister.”Lin Xian raised his head and said to Fingel. The guy in front of her was 1.88 meters tall, so she had to raise her head to speak.
"Nice to meet you. Professor Manstein told me the details. I'll take you to the CC1000 express.”This fellow sneakily came forward to help Lin Xian carry the small bag and shook hands with him. He hung the small bag on his thick and long arm and revealed a smile that he thought was charming.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother Fingal. But I still want to ask, is there anything I should pay attention to before entering the school?”Lin Nian asked as he inadvertently stood between Fingel and Lin Xian.
"No, the entrance training will be completed on the train. It's just to give you a detailed introduction to our academy's customs and customs, and then let you decide whether to enroll or not.”"I heard you're only sixteen? There were very few people who entered school at this age.”
"To be precise, I'll be 17 this year and 18 next year.”
"Have the two of you had lunch yet? The fast food on the plane should be terrible, right? I know a good Burger King nearby.”Fingel rubbed his hands.
"It's okay, there's no need to delay. Professor Manstein booked first class, and the fast food is not bad.”Lin Nian and Lin Xian rejected Fen Ge's invitation in unison because their rich experience and keen senses told them that this guy was trying to buy them a free lunch.
"Then... Then forget it." Fingel was stunned for a moment and gave up on the idea of freeloading from his juniors who had yet to enter school.
After they left the airport, Fingel took Lin Nian and the other two to the subway station. After leaving the station, they walked two blocks to the train station.
Looking at the majestic dome of Chicago train station, Lin Nian's impression of his senior improved.
At least, he was responsible in leading the way. The key was that this Senior Brother Fingel was very frugal. If he could take the subway, he would never take a taxi. If he could walk, he would never take a bus. The fare was perfectly compressed to less than two US dollars per person!
Feeling the praise from Lin Nian and Lin Xian, Fingel was a little touched and said that if his junior could give his senior a cup of coke, he would be even more touched.
Finally, after Lin Nian was willing to fork out his wallet to give him a cup of coke and a hamburger, he even took the initiative to take a few of Lin Nian's big bags and hang them on his body. Compared to Lin Nian's self-deprecation of being a mule before boarding the plane, he looked more like a good horse with his big and small bags.
Along the way, Lin Nian and Fingel talked a lot, mostly about the academy. Lin Nian had a lot of doubts about Kassel Academy. Now that he had met a student of Kassel Academy, and he was an old fox, he would definitely want to know more about the situation before enrolling.
"Which teacher is Senior Brother Fingel following in school?”Lin Nian asked.
"Professor Guderian is an interesting old man. Everyone respects him, but he's a little out of line occasionally.”Fingal tapped his temple."I suspect that he hasn't recovered from his old illness.”
"Patient friend?"
"They came from the same mental hospital.”
Fingel's words were simply shocking. For a moment, Lin Nian wanted to turn around and take a plane back to China.
"Is the school very far from the Urban area?" Lin Nian suppressed the fear in his heart and asked. He was mainly worried that Kassel Academy was actually a famous mental hospital in Chicago. Manstein and Mandy, who came to interview him, were actually patients who had escaped from there!。
"It's a little far. Professor Manstein should have told you that our school is in the mountains. You can only take the CC1000 express train to get there every semester. Otherwise, you can only take a helicopter.”
Hmm, the mental hospital in the mountains felt more like a horror movie.
"Actually, you have already missed the first day of the next semester. This express train was specially sent by Professor Manstein to pick you up. Otherwise, you will have to wait for the next train in a few days.”Fingel took a sip of his coke and took out a greasy schedule for Lin Nian to see.
There was a school emblem of the half-decayed World Tree on the schedule, and there was also a clear departure time. It looked quite formal, which made Lin Nian calm down and not run away with Lin Xian like before. However, he still noticed some strange words in Fingel's words."Did you just say class?"
" Our school is an aristocratic school," Fingal said, biting on a Coke straw." So naturally, we follow the aristocratic system, just like the fifth rank of nobility in England. "Some people with higher social class enjoy better special treatment in school. Students with higher social class can have the kitchen work overtime at night to deliver supper to you. Of course, there are also people with higher social class like serfs. They eat whatever the canteen gives them and can continue to farm as long as they don't starve to death..."
"Then, Senior Brother, which class are you from?"
"I, senior brother, was once glorious…"
"I understand." Lin Nian nodded and stopped asking.
Finger led the three of them to swipe their magnetic cards and enter the waiting hall. Lin Nian wanted to check the timetable, but Finger pulled him directly to the VIP channel."Professor Manstein probably can't wait any longer. The car should have arrived as soon as you landed.”
"So convenient." Lin Nian turned around and looked at the crowd in the waiting hall. On the contrary, the VIP passage was crowded. It would be great if it was so convenient during the Spring Festival.
Fingel led them through the VIP channel. A person in a dark green train attendant uniform stood in front of the ticket gate, holding a card reader in his hand as he smiled at them.
"Mr. Lin Nian, the train has been waiting for a long time.”The train attendant called out Lin Nian's name. It seemed like Fingel was right. This train was indeed here to pick him up.
"Is this also from Kassel Academy?”Lin Nian was a little surprised.
"Kassel Academy graduate of the Year of 98, History Department.”the train attendant said with a smile.
Lin Nian and Lin Xian looked at each other. It seemed that the distribution of students at Kassel Academy was real. At least, they had seen a graduate at Chicago train station.
"There's still me." Fingel was a little dissatisfied that the train attendant did not mention his name."It's not easy to walk through the VIP channel. Can't you enjoy the privilege of being respected?。”
"Fingel, can you accumulate enough GPA to graduate successfully this year? I heard that the academy is considering lowering your rank again.”The train attendant watched as Fingel swiped the ticket, and the card reader lit up with a green light.
"I've already reached 'E' grade. Isn't 'E' grade the lowest rank in the academy? Can I still cut through the floor?" Fingal's face was bitter.
"If the Equipment Department can dig through the Well of Annihilation, you might be able to dig through the floor. It is said that they are preparing to add an 'F' class. You should be honored to be able to become the person who refreshes the lower limit of the rating every time.”the train attendant said.
"So being a serf is not my bottom line. I can even transform into a mule…Does the academy provide meals for mules?"
"It depends on whether the staff in the canteen who brings you food is Turkish or not.”the train attendant said.
"Only Turks called Avandi like mules! Other Turks only liked donkey meat on fire!”Fingal shouted in dissatisfaction, as if he had successfully replaced himself as a mule.
Lin Nian slid the ticket across the card reader. The green light lit up and the card reader buzzed rhythmically.
"It's actually an 'A' grade. Professor Manstein's wait was worth it.”The train attendant's eyes lit up as she turned around and stopped talking to Fingel.
"'A' class? Junior brother, you're rich. I've always heard from junior sister Mandy that you're not bad, but I didn't expect you to be an 'A' class.”Fingal was also surprised.
"Is Class A the highest?" Lin Nian asked curiously.
"There's still an'S 'grade above, but only the principal is an'S' grade.”Fingal explained.
"No, not only that, there are more'S 'class, but no more than ten.”The train attendant raised his finger and shook his head.
"Could it be those guys from the board of directors?”" Can those old guys abuse their power to increase their authority?" Fingal asked doubtfully.”
Lin Xian crossed the ticket and a " ding " sounded after the green light turned on.
The train attendant looked at her in surprise and said,"There's actually a new employee."
"Staff?" Fingel was stunned for a moment as he looked at Lin Xian. He thought that both of them were freshmen.
"Professor Manstein specially hired him." Lin Nian explained to Lin Xian.
"In recent years, the academy has rarely hired external staff.”The train attendant nodded.
"I remember that the last hired employee was the group of SEALs.”said Fingal.
