Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

"Stark Industries' second-largest shareholder, Minfell Lou, murders the largest shareholder, Tony Stark" will be tomorrow's front-page headline.

But if he could find someone to copy this Word of Power called Sword Control, maybe he could really save Tony?

All he needs to do is immobilize the shrapnel, keeping it completely still, and then have a doctor perform surgery. Tony will be fine then.

The problem is that his copying ability requires the other person to have used the ability in front of him within a short period of time. He then looks into the other person's eyes to activate the ability, and only after the casting bar is completed can he copy the other person's ability.

Where could he find someone who knew sword control and get them to cooperate with him in copying it?

He hadn't even enrolled yet, and apart from Angers, Chu Zihang, and Susie, he didn't know a single other mixed-race person...

Eh!

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized something, opened QQ, and found a familiar nickname in his friend list—

Senior Brother Chu.

Lu Mingfei sent a message: "Senior Brother Chu, are you there?"

A few seconds later, Chu Zihang replied to the message: "Here."

Lu Mingfei: "Senior Brother Chu, I have already joined Kassel College."

Chu Zihang replied instantly: "Congratulations."

Soon, Chu Zihang added another message: "Susie is next to me. She asked me to tell Lu Xuedi that you've joined the academy too. I'm really looking forward to going to school together with everyone."

Lu Mingfei: "Thank you, Senior Brother Chu, and thank you, Senior Sister Su. Senior Brother Chu, could I ask you for a favor?"

Chu Zihang immediately replied with an "Mm," without even hearing what Lu Ming was asking him for help with.

"Senior Brother Chu, I got some basic information from Norma. Those Words of Power in the Words of Power Periodic Table look so cool, especially Sword Control. The description makes him seem like a sword immortal from a novel. Do you know anyone who can use Sword Control? I want to see it for myself when I enroll." Lu Mingfei sent the message.

Although he won't be able to enroll for several months, he's already asking Chu Zihang now. Even if Chu Zihang doesn't know who can use swordsmanship, he should be able to find out in a few months, right?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, in the office of the Lionheart Society president at Kassel College.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chu Zihang and Su Qian blinked at the same time as they looked at the message sent by Lu Mingfei.

Chapter 56. The internship assignment to Portugal and the journey to Portugal

Inside the office of the Lionheart Society president at Kassel College.

Chu Zihang and Su Qian looked at the message sent by Lu Mingfei together.

"Junior Lu wants to see Sword Control?" Susie frowned slightly. "My Word of Power is Sword Control, so showing it to him wouldn't be a problem. But the school is covered by the Night Watchers' 'commandments,' so we can't use Word of Power at all."

She looked at Chu Zihang's profile, thought for a moment, and suggested, "How about I visit your city again when I go home for summer vacation, and show off my sword control to Junior Brother Lu? As long as I don't get caught, it won't be considered a violation of school rules."

Kassel College's rules stipulate that the use of "word magic" is not permitted unless absolutely necessary.

Chu Zihang was silent for a few seconds. Based on her observations and understanding of him over this period of time, Su Xi felt that he was thinking.

Was Chu Zihang afraid of breaking school rules? This thought was quickly dismissed by Su Xi.

Who doesn't know that the leader of the Lionheart Society is a cold-blooded thug? He single-handedly slays demons and yakshas, ​​and he always goes on missions alone, returning with a full record of his crimes.

Every time he goes on a mission, the outside media will have another front-page headline related to terrorist attacks or accidental injuries and deaths, and the school will have another deficit to cover up the incident.

Susie always felt that Professor Manstein, who managed the school's finances, would one day jump off the roof of the teaching building because of Chu Zihang, or suddenly realize his mistake and use two Colt pythons to permanently solve Chu Zihang's financial problems.

Of course, Chu Zihang always carried out the most difficult and dangerous missions, and he always completed them successfully.

So even though he would get a demerit for every mission, he almost never received any real punishment.

Would someone like that be afraid of getting a demerit?

This is as ridiculous as Ximen Chuixue being afraid that the imperial court would put a warrant for his arrest.

So what exactly is he hesitating about?

A bold idea suddenly popped into Susie's mind.

Could it be that Chu Zihang is worried that I will get a demerit from the school?

Although Chu Zihang always has a cold face, Su Qian, who spends every day with him, can sense that he is actually a very gentle and warm person at heart, and it's not impossible that he would care about her.

Just as Susie felt a warm current welling up in her heart, Chu Zihang looked at her and said, "Lu Mingfei said he wanted to see a sword control technique similar to that of a sword immortal. Can your sword control technique control such heavy metal?"

Susie: ...

The effect of a Word of Power depends on the caster's lineage and proficiency; naturally, the effect of the Word of Power, Sword Control, will vary greatly depending on who wields it.

The weak can only manipulate a thin paper cutter within half a meter, while the strong can command ten thousand swords like a torrent. That is why this power of words is named "Sword Control".

Susie's sword control is far from reaching the level of a "sword immortal." Her weapons are mainly small, thin, and delicate metal blades. This word spirit is more suitable for assassination in her hands, which is indeed not very compatible with the legendary sword immortal who is dressed in white and takes people's heads with flying swords.

However, if you only focus on controlling a metal weapon, controlling a metal sword weighing three or four pounds is relatively easy, but it is difficult to use in actual combat.

So Susie nodded decisively: "Controlling only one or two swords is fine. So during our summer vacation..."

“No,” Chu Zihang shook his head, “It will be ready in two weeks.”

"Two weeks later?" Susie was taken aback.

Could it be that Chu Zihang is going to take Lu Mingfei back to China on leave just to satisfy Lu Mingfei's curiosity?

Even Emperor Xuanzong of Tang couldn't have been this fond of Yang Guifei!

“I have a mission to Portugal next week,” Chu Zihang said. “I can ask to take you along, as well as Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei can be an intern and earn some credits along the way.”

Susie's eyes widened.

You're already helping him boost his grades before he's even enrolled. I don't even want to think about what you'll do for him once he's enrolled!

For a fleeting moment, Susie even wondered if Chu Zihang's feelings for Lu Mingfei were truly like those of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang for Yang Guifei.

But upon closer reflection, this suggestion is actually quite good.

Chu Zihang is the president of the Lionheart Society, and she is the vice president. If Lu Mingfei goes on a mission with the two of them, wouldn't he definitely become a member of the Lionheart Society when he comes back?

Susie nodded decisively: "I think it's a good idea."

Chu Zihang sent his proposal to Lu Mingfei.

In his hotel room, Lu Mingfei paused for a moment when he saw the message sent by Chu Zihang.

Firstly, they were surprised that Kassel College did not allow students to use Word Power on campus—so how were they supposed to practice using Word Power on a regular basis?

Secondly, I felt that Senior Brother Chu's suggestion was indeed feasible, but unfortunately he would only turn eighteen after his birthday in July.

For individuals aged 16 to under 18 traveling abroad, written documentation from their guardian is required.

His parents are now missing as if they're dead, and he's fallen out with his uncle and aunt. He probably won't be able to go abroad before he turns eighteen.

Therefore, he could only politely decline Senior Brother Chu's offer.

Lu Mingfei: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Chu. Although I really want to go to Portugal with you, I won't turn eighteen until July, so I won't be able to travel abroad alone."

Senior Brother Chu: "It's okay. As long as your internship application is approved, the school can let you go abroad alone before you turn eighteen."

Lu Mingfei: "Really? That's great! Senior brother, where should we meet?"

Senior Brother Chu: "The mission location is the town of Viana in Portugal, but we need to meet at the capital airport."

Lu Mingfei: "The capital of Portugal?"

Senior Brother Chu: "China's capital."

Lu Mingfei: "Why? Wouldn't it be more convenient to meet up directly in Portugal?"

Senior Brother Chu: "School regulations state that [students undertaking their first internship must be accompanied by at least one senior student throughout the entire process and are not allowed to act alone until the task is completely completed.] If we don't fly to Portugal with you, the school will give Susie and me a demerit."

Chu Zihang himself didn't care about being given a demerit; he already had double-digit demerits. But Su Xi was innocent after all.

Since things have come to this point, Lu Mingfei naturally had no reason to disagree. He could take this opportunity to copy Susie's sword control, learn more about hybrids and Kassel College, and even take a trip—a win-win-win situation.

Although Tony has traveled around the world several times in his world, he has never been to Portugal.

Huh? Isn't Su Xiaoqiang of mixed Chinese and Portuguese descent? She should be very familiar with Portugal, right?

Why don't you ask her for a travel guide?

Without hesitation, Lu Mingfei opened Su Xiaoqiang's QQ and sent her a message: "Little Fairy, are you there? Are you familiar with the tourist attractions in Portugal?"

Su Xiaoqiang replied instantly as well.

"What are you guys doing? It seems like you're all glued to QQ." Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Su Xiaoqiang: "I'm pretty familiar with tourist attractions in Portugal. My mother is Portuguese, and when I go to Portugal with her, she takes me around to see the sights. What's wrong?"

Lu Mingfei: "I'm going to Portugal for tourism in two weeks. Could you give me a travel guide? Preferably somewhere near Viana Fortress."

Lu Mingfei hadn't received any news from Su Xiaoqiang for a while, and he assumed she was organizing a travel guide. But then Su Xiaoqiang sent him a message he never expected.

“It just so happens that my mom hasn’t been back to Portugal for a long time, and I miss her. Let me go to Portugal with you and visit my mom while we’re there.”

When Lu Mingfei saw this message, he rubbed his eyes.

What a coincidence! I'm just going to Portugal, why are you going too?

If it were just a pure vacation, bringing along a beautiful young lady would be wonderful, but he also has an internship at Kassel College!

Although Senior Brother Chu hadn't told him what the mission was, he knew it definitely wasn't some fun activity like "Researching Portuguese Specialty Foods" or "Experiencing Portuguese Traditional Song and Dance." It was probably going to involve taking a knife and going to chop up Deadpool.

What's with him bringing Little Fairy along? Is he going to make her a cheerleader? Imagine him using the Nine Swords of Dugu on Deadpool in the streets of Vienna, while Su Xiaoqiang stands by in a miniskirt cheerleader outfit shouting "Mingfei, Mingfei, you're the best!"? Is that even reasonable?!

So he quickly sent a message to refuse: "It's not convenient, Little Fairy. I'm actually going with Senior Brother Chu. He has a research mission in Portugal, and we can't leave Viana Castle."

When Su Xiaoqiang replied with a message, Lu Mingfei wished he could go back to a few minutes earlier and strangle himself.

"Isn't that perfect? ​​My mother's home is in Vianaburg!"

Chapter 57: Su Xiaoqiang's Family

In the end, Lu Mingfei was unable to stop Su Xiaoqiang.

Of course, the main reason was that after consulting with Senior Brother Chu, he learned that the mission was actually easy and simple. The reason he, as the president of the Lionheart Society, was needed to complete it was because it involved interactions with other mixed-race forces, thus requiring certain qualifications.
