Lionheart Society: I am an S-class freshman, with infinite power of words.

The Lionheart Society and the Student Council are sworn enemies. Caesar has an awkward relationship with Lin Chen, and is even more of a rival with Chu Zihang.

These people have absolutely nothing in common, and their tastes and values ​​are completely different.

Their destination was Kyoto, the land of cherry blossoms.

For Caesar, that place was a Michelin three-star restaurant and a famous spa.

For Chu Zihang, it was superb swordsmanship! An unmarked cemetery!

For Lu Mingfei, it's the figurines and games in Akihabara.

As for Lin Chen, Lu Mingfei couldn't understand him. This time, Lin Chen didn't bring a single girl with him, which made Lu Mingfei feel a sense of approachability from Lin Chen.

Angers grouped these four people together, and Lu Mingfei could only feel that Caesar was a bit out of place.

The plane took off slowly, and after a smooth flight, Lin Chen unbuckled his seatbelt.

The other three have already received their mission details and are either resting with their eyes closed or pressing their faces against the glass, looking out the window.

Lin Chen coughed softly.

Lu Mingfei immediately turned her head, and Chu Zihang also opened his eyes.

Caesar also raised his head, his expression somewhat complicated as he waited for Lin Chen to speak.

245: A Warning to Caesar! The Eight Serpent Clan!

Caesar, who was sitting down, was actually a little embarrassed.

His relationship with Lin Chen has never been good, although Caesar had long since come to realize that he was inferior to Lin Chen.

But recently, the family's wedding preparations have caused quite a stir.

The family, on its own wishful thinking, wanted Lin Chen's daughter to be their bride.

When the news spread throughout the academy, even Caesar, who always valued honor and reputation, felt somewhat ashamed.

He gradually came to accept that he was not as good as Lin Chen, but he could not accept being ridiculed by the teachers and students of the entire college.

Now he was even less able to face Lin Chen. In front of Lin Chen, besides feeling inferior, Caesar even felt a little guilty.

Now the students have been forced into the same task, and Caesar has no choice but to bite the bullet and face it.

Since he entered the school, he has lacked any outstanding achievements.

Caesar didn't aspire to slay dragons like Lin Chen, or to roam freely within the Nibelungen of the Dragon King. He only hoped to have an outstanding mission before graduation.

Therefore, Caesar made up his mind that no matter who his teammates were this time, he would do his best to complete the mission.

Although Lin Chen was the team leader for this mission, Caesar was willing to carry out every order diligently.

He looked up at Lin Chen, waiting for Lin Chen to speak.

Lin Chen's gaze swept calmly across the three faces: "Everyone has read the mission, and I think you all understand that this is not a simple mission."

Chu Zihang nodded: "Senior, you're the group leader this time, so just give the orders and we'll listen to you!"

Lu Mingfei nodded vigorously in agreement: "Yeah, boss, tell me, what should we do this time? Should we bomb Japan or go on vacation?"

Caesar was completely confused.

He thought the academy had already assigned the tasks, and he just needed to follow the academy's arrangements. Lin Chen would at most give some instructions on the details of the tasks.

However, judging from Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei's statements, the academy's mission was nonsense, and they would leave everything to Lin Chen's arrangements.

It seemed as if they served Lin Chen, not the academy.

Judging from their attitude alone, even if Lin Chen arranged for them to blow up the sacred toilet, they would absolutely not say a word.

Lin Chen then looked at Caesar: "And you?"

Caesar then realized what was happening and hesitated for a moment before saying, "The task is arduous, but I will do my best."

But Caesar regretted it as soon as he said it; he felt it sounded like a subordinate reporting to a superior.

Caesar subconsciously identified himself as a subordinate, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Japan is a very unique place. Our primary task is to carry out the academy's mission."

Caesar was taken aback: "The primary task? Completing the academy's mission isn't everything?"

Chu Zihang glanced at Caesar: "You're talking too much!"

Caesar frowned; he sensed the ill intent in Chu Zihang's words.

"I was simply discussing the mission."

"You only need to obey the orders of the academy and the group leader."

Caesar's voice turned cold: "As a member of the group, I have the right to question orders!"

Lu Mingfei quickly tried to smooth things over: "I say... heroes, we've only just boarded the plane. Before we arrive, why don't we rest and recharge?"

Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "The academy's mission is naturally important, but you need to know where we're headed this time."

“The Land of Cherry Blossoms,” Caesar said. “I know that you Chinese have some long-standing feuds with this place.”

Chu Zihang stared into Caesar's eyes: "You make it sound so easy, but your family also played a vicious role in that great war!"

Lu Mingfei immediately perked up. She had been a little timid at first, but now she glared angrily at Caesar.

In the great wars of the last century, the Caesar family was one of the initiating nations. Although they performed the worst and surrendered the earliest, their crimes were countless.

This is a matter of principle, as anyone who has studied history knows.

Caesar shrank back, suddenly realizing he had said the wrong thing.

During that great battle, Caesar's camp and Lin Chen's side were enemies. Although they did not meet on the battlefield, their positions and camps were completely opposed.

In that war, the Caesar family was defeated.

On this private jet, Caesar could only raise his hands in surrender.

Lin Chen gave Caesar a cold look: "I don't object to your identity and ideas, but as a team member, it is your responsibility to listen to the team leader!"

The fire in Caesar's eyes died down, and he realized that he was completely suppressed by Lin Chen.

"I'm sorry," Caesar said softly.

Lin Chen didn't look at him again: "Perhaps my question wasn't clear enough. It's not that you understand Japan, but that you really understand the Japan branch?"

Caesar subconsciously looked up; this was indeed a blind spot in his knowledge.

Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei also looked over.

“It seems there really isn’t one!” Chu Zihang said. “My teacher is the head of the Executive Department, von Stein, but there has never been a specialist with Japanese nationality in the Executive Department!”

“Oh yeah!” Lu Mingfei scratched her head. “I usually lurk on the Night Watchers forum to read news from all over the world, but I don’t think I’ve ever paid attention to Japan!”

Caesar nodded: "I know absolutely nothing about the Sakura Country branch either..."

“One of you is the president of the Lionheart Society, another is the student council president, and the last one is at least an S-rank,” Lin Chen said. “But the three of you combined know absolutely nothing about the Sakura Country branch of the Executive Department. Doesn’t that say something?”

Caesar's pupils contracted: "What's going on?"

Chu Zihang also sensed something was wrong: "If that's the case, it seems the Sakura Country branch has broken away from the academy and is deliberately hiding itself!"

“That’s absolutely right!” Lin Chen nodded. “Although the Sakura Country branch is nominally a branch of the Executive Department, it is completely independent!”

“How could that be? The executive branch is entirely composed of subordinates of the Secret Party.” Caesar shook his head. “The Board of Trustees would never allow an independent incident to occur!”

Lin Chen shrugged: "Who told you that the Sakura Country branch serves the Board of Directors?"

"What?" Caesar was utterly shocked.

“It seems you don’t know much about the Sakura Country branch,” Lin Chen said. “The reason the Sakura Country branch is the Sakura Country branch is not because of the Secret Party, nor because of the Board of Directors, nor because of Kassel College, but only because of one person.”

Chu Zihang guessed: "Principal?"

“That’s right!” Lin Chen said, “After the great war in the last century, Principal Angers went to Japan and conquered the local mixed-race people on his own. He signed an alliance with them. In name, they did belong to the Secret Party, but they had more than 0.2 percent autonomy, and the ultimate decision-making power belonged to Angers!”

Caesar was a little confused: "This is completely independent, or rather, an appendage of the principal. How could the board of directors allow such a thing to happen!"

"Because of the Secret Party's ignorance," Lin Chen said. "That's the truth. In the last century, the Secret Party didn't even know that there were mixed-race people in Japan. They didn't care about this place. But to be precise, the Japan branch doesn't belong to the Secret Party. Their relationship is equal, which is unique in the world!"

"What right do they have!" As the heir to the Gattuso family, Caesar instinctively considered the issue from the perspective of the board of directors.

"Based on their historical glory!" Lin Chen said quietly, "The Snake Clan, who once rivaled Kassel College!"

246: The Principal's Gift! Genji, Head of the Genji Family!

Chu Zihang, Caesar, and Lu Mingfei were all somewhat stunned.

They never imagined that the Japanese branch would be like this.

Lin Chen shook his head: "Unlike the mixed-race people in other regions, the mixed-race people in Sakura Country are highly united. The Snake Clan is the oldest family in Sakura Country."

"The Snake-Girl Eight Families, as the name suggests, consist of eight families, divided into three major surnames and five minor surnames! They are also called the Inner Three Families and the Outer Five Families."

"The three inner families are the Uesugi, Tachibana, and Minamoto!"

"The other five families are the Inuyama family, the Fuma family, the Miyamoto family, the Ryoma family, and the Sakurai family!"

"The three inner families are dwindling in population, yet they are the strongest."
