Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.
Page 165
The red-haired girl seemed to have seen through him, leaving him unsure how to speak.
"There's nothing to be nervous about. Everyone's in the same boat. I should be done soon, right?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head.
The premise of "pretending to be weak to eat the strong" is never actually pretending to be weak.
“Very good.” Chen Motong stood up and clapped his hands. “Now please answer our questions.”
She nodded slightly to Shutoku Aki, who understood and asked, "First question, do you believe in aliens?"
"what?"
Lu Mingfei had actually overheard the questions asked to the other people inside. They were all difficult math problems that were incomprehensible even to read the question stems. It's easy to understand that the purpose was to weed out people.
But when asked what aliens are,
Are you going to tell me next that hybrids are actually of alien blood? Alien dragons?
"Farewell!" Lu Mingfei used his best skill of backing down. His intuition told him that he couldn't follow the other party's train of thought, otherwise he might be seen through even more.
"Wait a minute." Ye Sheng quickly waved his hand. What a joke! If Lu Mingfei left, how would they explain themselves?
However, before Lu Mingfei could reach the door, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open.
Ye Sheng, Jiu Deya, and Chen Motong were all stunned for a second.
Lu Mingfei was also stunned for a moment. Although he did sense that someone had come from outside, he did not expect that the two old men in front of him would be the ones who appeared. The one in the lead was especially handsome.
“Principal Angers! Professor Guderian.” The three immediately stood up straight and bowed.
Lu Mingfei bowed in return to the smiling, silver-haired principal in front of him. He could feel a slight restlessness in his dragon blood.
Angers smiled and raised his hand to indicate that everyone should relax, then slightly adjusted his cuffs, displaying the quintessential demeanor of a British gentleman.
"Looks like I've arrived just in time. Where are we?"
Chapter 349 Letter
"Uh, Lu, Lu Mingfei was just about to leave." Ye Sheng, who had just been acting like a high-quality elite, was now stammering.
No one dared to lie in front of this legendary principal, not because he could supposedly read minds, but because of the deep respect that came from the bottom of their hearts.
The reason he stuttered was simply because they seemed to have messed up this important matter.
Even Chen Motong, who was so arrogant just now, instantly turned from a queen into a well-behaved child. She was originally planning to dissect and analyze the new S-class.
Unexpectedly, the other party was really that powerful, even the busy principal came in person.
We can't afford to mess with them! We really can't afford to mess with them!
"Is it just finished? I remember the interview was supposed to start at nine o'clock. It seems our college's specialists are quite efficient." Angers glanced at the wall clock; it was not yet nine-thirty.
"Actually, we had just finished asking the first question when Lu Mingfei was about to leave." Jiu Deyaqi lowered her head like a primary school student who had done something wrong.
"What! Mingfei, did something happen? Do you have any complaints? You can tell us anything you don't mind, don't worry, we will definitely make changes."
The speaker was Professor Guderian, who was standing behind Angers. He was travel-worn, wore thick glasses, had gray and disheveled hair, and was dressed in a sloppy suit and baggy trousers.
He immediately grabbed Lu Mingfei's shoulder, his face full of nervousness, and he was incoherent.
To be honest, Lu Mingfei seriously doubted whether this Professor Guderian was really a teacher at Kassel College. Just in terms of appearance, he and the principal were simply not in the same league.
“Professor Guderian, please calm down and listen to what Mingfei has to say.” Angers gave Lu Mingfei an apologetic smile: “Mingfei, is there some misunderstanding?”
"No, there's no misunderstanding. It's just that I feel I might not be good enough for your esteemed school. I won't waste your time." Lu Mingfei quickly shook his head.
To be honest, he was also dumbfounded. Just by looking at his appearance, he could tell that this flamboyant principal must be a very powerful and influential person.
How could someone like that be here?
He's only been back for less than two days, and he's been staying in the neighborhood the whole time. Even if his acting is terrible, he shouldn't have been discovered in just two days, right?
"Oh, it seems the atmosphere at the interviews organized by our college staff was too serious, making you all too nervous. It was our fault," Angers apologized earnestly.
"However, getting stage fright at the last minute is not a gentlemanly thing to do. I think if your parents knew, they would definitely make you train harder."
"Actually, I came to see you today because I received a letter from your parents. Your parents are also honorary alumni of our school and have donated a large sum of money to our school's research projects. This time, they wrote a letter specifically hoping that I could take care of you a little."
"But it seems they were overthinking it. Mingfei, you are even more outstanding than we imagined."
"Principal, you flatter me." Lu Mingfei scratched his head sheepishly. He really didn't know how this flamboyant old man could say such a thing without batting an eye. Anyone who had seen his previous records would have called him utterly unremarkable.
You say I'm excellent, but I didn't even know it myself?
Angers shook his head slightly, gesturing for Guderian to take the item out.
Professor Guderian nodded immediately, took out a letter and a photograph from his briefcase, and handed them over.
“Over the years, they have been researching a very important subject, venturing deep into the jungles of South America, but they still think about you very much,” Angers said.
Lu Mingfei took the photo and letter. The photo must have been taken a few years ago. The two of them were walking hand in hand in the garden. In the distance was a classic, quaint building, shaded by green trees and bathed in sunshine.
Lu Mingfei touched the faces of the two people in the photo. Everyone says that once you get married, you forget your parents, but he has always remembered them. It's just that these two people are always so far away from him.
As for the letter, it wasn't handwritten; it was probably a printed electronic file. It was signed by Giovanni. He never knew that his whirlwind mother could write such cheesy words.
"Now you should believe we're not lying to you, right?" Professor Guderian stroked his beard.
Lu Mingfei didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
“Very well, in that case, let’s talk some more. Although we don’t care about formalities, I would like to know a little more about my students.” Angers smiled, nodded, and clasped his hands together.
"I'd like to speak with Mingfei alone. You guys go back and rest first."
Everyone understood that Principal Angers was going to have a private talk with Lu Mingfei, so they immediately nodded and left. Although Guderian's eyes showed reluctance, there was no room for discussion after the principal made his decision.
After everyone left, Ye Sheng closed the door. Angers gestured for Lu Mingfei to sit down, then took off his suit jacket, revealing a brown vest underneath, and casually sat down opposite Lu Mingfei.
After Lu Mingfei sat down, he also looked at the old man in front of him. Although his hair and beard were all white, the principal's spirit did not show any signs of old age.
Beneath the vest and shirt, one could vaguely see well-defined muscle lines, making him an absolute veteran and ruthless character.
Add to that his gentlemanly demeanor, which is even more refined than that of a hypocrite, and if he stood in a nightclub, he would make the girls who like mature, older men scream with excitement.
“Ask whatever you want, don’t be shy.” Angers still had a smile on his face. Of course he knew that Lu Mingfei was looking him up and down, but wasn’t he also looking at Lu Mingfei up and down?
Lu Mingfei thought a lot; this old man must know a lot.
Although there seemed to be no malice, Lu Mingfei remained vigilant.
"I want to know where my parents are?" Lu Mingfei didn't ask about the surveillance cameras or Kassel College, he only asked about his parents.
“You say they live in the South American jungle, but they can send letters every year and even email you. I don’t believe they don’t even have the chance to make a phone call.”
Lu Mingfei recalled the letters his parents had written to him over the years; they were all about general topics like health and studies, without any specific points of reference or timeframes.
I didn't think much of it before, but now that I think about it, is it possible that these letters were written years in advance and then sent out regularly by someone?
Therefore, it can be inferred that the email was either forged or secretly sent from a secret location where even telephone calls were prohibited.
In short, the principal definitely knows where they are.
So he wanted to see what kind of explanation this mysterious principal of Angers could give him.
Chapter 350 Eternity
The meeting suite at the Regent Hotel suddenly fell silent.
Angers just said that Giovanni and his wife were in the South American jungle, but Lu Mingfei is still asking the same question, which clearly means he thinks they are talking nonsense.
Lu Mingfei was well aware that he was taking a risk. Based on the current situation, his parents either left voluntarily to avoid worrying him, or they were forced to leave, and their fate was unknown.
All he wanted to know now was whether they were still alive or not. As for danger, if they were still alive, the danger shouldn't be too great. If they were dead, he could at least confirm the identity of his enemy.
“Their last visit to our institute was six years ago, and we don’t know where they are now. If you want to know how they are doing, I can ask my research friends in South America to pass on a message and ask them when their research is finished, or when someone needs to deliver supplies,” Angerzhe nodded.
His words were watertight, completely disregarding Kassel College, and then he continued with an innocent expression: "But Mingfei, what do you mean by this?"
“I thought someone as important as the principal would surely know something. Since that’s the case, I think I’m fine now. I really can’t afford to associate with Kassel College. Actually, I think universities in the province are quite good too.” Lu Mingfei shrugged and stood up again to leave, a move that was a strategic retreat.
And it doesn't matter to him even if the Kassel College really doesn't know.
The hybrid and the informant have already appeared; at worst, he can sneak over and follow them, and eventually find some clues.
This childish sulking seemed immature to anyone, and Lu Mingfei wasn't sure how important he was to them; he was just giving it a try anyway.
By the time he reached the doorknob, the principal still hadn't said a word. Lu Mingfei was actually relieved, which meant that the principal might not be that important.
However, the next moment, an invisible domain instantly spread out from behind him, and Lu Mingfei subconsciously activated his own domain as well.
The sound of traffic flowing through the CBD suddenly stopped, falling silent. Even the tiny dust particles floating in the air, illuminated by the sunlight, seemed frozen in time.
"So you have indeed awakened." Angers, with his golden eyes, raised his head and smiled faintly as he watched Lu Mingfei turn around. "It seems we still have a lot to discuss. Don't you want to know where this power came from?"
Lu Mingfei was clearly being tested. Although Angers had no ill intentions and did not make a move, it was not surprising that he had not intended to entrust his life to the other party's test and had exposed his strength.
"Damn! How come some random old man can use the killer incantation 'Time Zero'? Could it be that all these incantations are just commonplace? Is this world actually teeming with experts?"
Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat. He had thought that even if he was not as strong as Lu Mingze, he should be able to protect himself. But now it seemed that their world was not so simple.
If a few trials suddenly appear, he'll have nowhere to turn for help.
Angers was the first to extinguish his Golden Eyes, and so was Lu Mingfei. He immediately sat down again, having already activated his Word of Power. Since the other party hadn't made a move, he would first gather some information.
“Do you understand the power within you?” Angers asked.
Lu Mingfei immediately shook his head.
“In fact, we are all the same kind of people,” Angers said. “Hybrids, human-dragon hybrids, golden eyes and the power of words are our greatest characteristics.”
“Although I guessed you might have awakened the power of words ahead of time, I didn’t expect it to be this outstanding.” Angers’ face showed a hint of joy.
"Wait, what's this about hybrid races and words of power? Can you explain it more clearly? I thought I had awakened some incredible superpower. What's going on?" Lu Mingfei didn't really know much about these things, so he took the opportunity to find out.
Lu Mingze had only explained the concept of hybrids to the public, but he really didn't know anything about the situation in this world.
“This part was originally supposed to be part of the orientation, but since you’ve already awakened, I’ll take over,” Angers said casually. “Kassel College only accepts people with special aptitudes, like us hybrids.”
Angers begins with the dragon king Nighogg, recounting the rebellion of the four monarchs, the counterattack of the hybrids, and finally the establishment of the Kassel College by the Secret Society to teach students how to slay dragons.
Although Lu Mingfei had been somewhat prepared and had some expectations beforehand, he still felt his scalp tingle immediately after hearing this long, tedious, and melodramatic story.
What does it mean that the Four Monarchs and the Black Emperor are all going to destroy the world? What does it mean that they are the source of the power of words and dragon blood?
Lu Mingfei instantly recalled the scene Lu Mingze had shown him. Could he be one of the Four Monarchs or even the Black Emperor?
Otherwise, what happened to the rule that a hybrid could only have one Word of Power? Was it because of his transmigration to another world, or because of Lu Mingze?
If it really was Lu Mingze who did this, what the hell is the point of fighting?
Lu Mingfei originally thought that his world was at most a supernatural, hidden technological world, but then someone suddenly told him that they had been living in the apocalyptic script of Monster Hunter all along!
“Very good, you are even more receptive than I imagined.” Angers clapped his hands. “Actually, many people find it difficult to accept this fact at first.”
Lu Mingfei just stared wide-eyed at this, thinking to himself, "How could you possibly have guessed that I accepted it? You clearly have too many complaints and don't know where to even begin!"
“The following is private information, please keep it a secret. Your parents are actually in a base dealing with a doomsday crisis, but it’s inconvenient for them to show themselves,” Angers added.
Lu Mingfei had already believed most of it. He had even encountered time travel, so what was the Dragon Slayer Warrior Academy compared to that?
But there seemed to be some problems with those surveillance cameras. Of course, he didn't say it out loud. The truth was definitely more complicated than Angers described, including his parents, who were probably not as simple as they seemed.
However, he does need to utilize the platform of Kassel College now, whether it's for the potential awakening of the Dragon King or to find out about his parents. Kassel College is his only way to access the truth of the world.
With Angers' explanation, he had a better understanding of his own strength, and at least among the hybrids, there shouldn't be anyone who could put him at a disadvantage.
"Thank you for your explanation, Principal Angers. I need to go back and think about it some more." Lu Mingfei covered his forehead and slowly stood up. He couldn't just agree on the spot in a moment of impulse, could he?
“Of course, but please don’t keep us waiting too long. If you make a decision, inform Professor Guderian as soon as possible.” Angers also stood up.
"Principal, what's the situation?" Professor Guderian, who had been waiting outside the door, rushed in to ask as soon as he saw Lu Mingfei enter the elevator.
Ye Sheng, Ya Ji, and Chen Motong all looked curiously at Angers inside the house.
"Don't worry, Mingfei is even more outstanding than we imagined; his bloodline has already awakened."
"I was wondering why he seemed like a completely different person these past two days!" Chen Motong muttered to herself. She had already noticed that Lu Mingfei was acting very strangely through her profiling earlier.
"As expected of Mingfei!" Professor Guderian exclaimed, gesturing wildly. "His S-rank bloodline truly lives up to its reputation. By the way, I wonder what kind of Word of Power he awakened?"
“Eternity.” Angers replied casually, “I have something to do and need to go to the airport soon. I’ll leave the rest to you.”
He put on a suit, leaving everyone with an extremely dashing back view, while the four people behind him couldn't help but gape.
The Word of Power: Eternity is known to everyone at Kassel College. It also has another name: Time Zero.
