When Lu Mingfei and his party took a plane to Chicago and then arrived at the train station, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Compared with the bustling Chicago waiting halls in the past, this medieval castle-like hall now looks empty and has an indescribable sense of sadness, because the floor is covered with pieces of paper, drink cans and wooden boards covered with slogans.
The signs are spread all over the floor tiles. At first glance, one might think that a railway station that has been abandoned for many years has been turned into a garbage dump.
When the wind blew, the paper shells rolled on the ground.
The reason for this dilapidated phenomenon was a strike movement launched by Chicago Railroad Department employees. It was precisely because of this demonstration that Chicago's railroads were temporarily paralyzed.
If Lu Mingfei and others had come an hour earlier, they would have seen the place full of protesters. The crowd was furious, and the employees had angry faces. The protest signs in their hands were more like fighting hoes, and they were ready to smash them with a stick at any time.
go out.
In this fierce confrontation, even the police did not dare to act rashly. After all, the employees were outnumbered. Even if the police from the entire Chicago city came, they could not suppress the demonstration immediately.
And once they use force blindly, the situation will only become more passive.
After all, both sides have experience. Under normal circumstances, the workers who are angry and angry are allowed to vent their anger first, and when their anger subsides, or their voices become hoarse and they become paralyzed from exhaustion, it may be more effective for the police to take action at this time.
.
This country advocates democracy and freedom, but every demonstration will plunge the place into greater chaos. Maybe this is the so-called higher price of freedom.
According to this strike situation, even Kassel's CC1000 college line has been suspended, because this branch line express does not have an independent switchman and dispatch center, but only runs with the Chicago Railroad Bureau. Once this happens
A strike by border workers paralyzed the railway bureau, and the dedicated trains were also suspended.
However, these are minor problems. You may only need to wait patiently for a day or two, and Kassel College will find a way to arrange for manpower to come over.
Taking advantage of this period, Lu Mingfei and others can also have a short vacation in Chicago to appreciate the unique scenery here.
When Lu Mingfei raised his head, he could still see the giant white cloth on the dome beam, which was covered with strike slogans and large red handprints, showing the determination and unyielding will of the employees, hanging conspicuously on the beam.
In the previous life, Xia Mi also waited here for the college's special train. Because he had no money to pay for the hotel, he prepared to use this kind of white cloth to set up a tent in the park. However, when Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang rushed to the hall later, Xia Mi
He accidentally fell off the beam, but Chu Zihang caught him and gave him a domineering princess hug.
It was from that moment that the love and murder between Chu Zihang and Xia Mi began.
The two of them can talk about who is going up and who is going down in the hotel suite, oh no, talking about ascending to heaven and entering the earth in "Jade Record", or they can have romantic preschool training in the Ferris wheel. Of course, due to the same fate, the two of them are there.
The Nibelungs fought to the death, driving their most deadly blows into each other's hearts.
Now that scene will never happen again. Now Xia Mi has confessed to others and gained their sincerity and even friendship.
There is no such extreme opposition and contradiction anymore, because they once shared life and death and are now teammates standing on the same front.
Originally, Lu Mingfei and others planned to spend two days in Chicago and wait for the college express line to arrive before returning to Kassel. But just as they were about to leave, an ancient bell sounded in the night, followed by a train.
The roar produced by driving on the track.
Several people immediately recognized it, it was CC1000.
The beam of the car lights shines on the platform. The car body is dark and the whole body is like a streamline. It is etched with silver-white vine texture. It is as beautiful as a work of art. Soon this exclusive train of Kassel College is along the track.
Coming by car.
With a hiss, the car door slid open, and a familiar figure stood outside the car door, it was Professor Guderian.
"Children, I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."
Guderian took off his hat in a very gentlemanly manner and greeted Lu Mingfei and the others with a smile as bright as an old chrysanthemum in full bloom.
…
Rumble!
The CC1000 train speeds along the iron-gray rails at high speed. Under the moonlight, you can vaguely see the red maple leaves flying behind the train.
Guderian couldn't laugh anymore.
He was sitting on the leather sofa in this retro carriage, opposite Zero, Natsumi and Fenrir who had already put on Cassel's dark green school uniforms.
Guderian held his breath and pursed his lips silently in his seat, while Xia Mi and Fenrir opposite were happily playing with their school uniforms, which looked very novel. One of them was as nervous as a student, and the other had an extremely high mentality.
Relax, like a tourist.
Not long ago Guderian was very excited.
He had plenty of reasons to be excited.
Because Kassel College has recently recruited three powerful freshmen, and they were personally introduced by Lu Mingfei, and they have received great recognition in terms of strength. It is conceivable that the strength of these three freshmen is at least as good as that of Kassel Chu Zihang.
That level of students.
All the professors in the college are looking forward to receiving several freshmen in person this time, so as to leave a good impression. When choosing subjects in the future, these freshmen will have a certain chance of choosing the subjects where the professors are.
You know, besides doing some experiments, it is an honor for these professors to be able to cultivate strong students.
But under the expectant eyes of the whole hospital, no one expected that the task of reception fell directly on Guderian, and was personally assigned by Principal Angers.
Guderian, the person involved, almost cried with joy. After all, he was only an assistant professor. How could he be able to receive these new students in person? Guderian couldn't help but think that maybe the principal was so kind and prepared to give him a chance to show off.
For this reason, Guderian was fully prepared, thinking up his words along the way, and even asked the teacher Masashi Toyama who followed him to practice it repeatedly, just to leave a good impression on the three freshmen.
Even the smile he gave to the students when he got out of the car was something he had rehearsed hundreds of times in advance.
Just like the classic smile of DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street, holding a wine glass and greeting the camera against the brilliant background of fireworks, it is absolutely expressive.
But until he actually faced the three freshmen, Guderian found that he couldn't speak, and even if he did, he would just glance around continuously.
These three freshmen gave Guderian a very strong sense of oppression, as if the people in front of him were not three people, but three beasts.
Among them, Natsuya and Rei, although they look as beautiful as angels, are not as gentle as angels at all.
Xia Mi looked weird. When they met for the first time, he seemed to be familiar with him. He took the initiative to say hello to Guderian and smiled like an elf. However, Guderian heard the dragon coming from somewhere. The roar of the tiger.
This woman is definitely not simple.
Zero's own temperament is as cold and arrogant as ice and snow. The girl's beautiful foreign face is always cold and calm, as if someone owes her hundreds of millions of rubles. Guderian originally greeted him with a chuckle, but the girl looked at him coldly. Coming over, Guderian was so frightened that he just laughed and said, "Hey."
Although Fenrir seemed honest and honest, he was the one who had the strongest impact on Guderian among the three.
Originally, when this big boy came to the carriage, he was still very restless, or in other words, he was very curious about everything on the train. He always looked around, and even asked for help a few times. Take a look into the cockpit.
It was Fingel who was thoughtful and brought him two cups of hot chocolate. Fenrir was obviously very fond of this drink and quickly stopped.
But now looking at Fenrir opposite him, who was holding a wooden bucket and drinking hot chocolate, he seemed to have stopped, but he didn't seem to have completely stopped.
There was no other way. Fenrir felt that the cups were not enough, so he directly brought over the wooden barrel containing the drinks.
Originally, according to the process, the next step was the preliminary training for admission to Kassel, which mainly talked about the history of Kassel and the dragon relics, including the purpose of slaying the dragon in the end.
But now Guderian could only sit with his hands firmly on his knees, like a primary school student who wanted to see his class teacher.
Now Guderian is sitting across from the three people, but he only dares to sit halfway with his buttocks, and the other half is hanging in the air, his calves are trembling, and he is always ready to escape from here.
Who knows what kind of weird sixth sense this is, he always feels that the three people opposite him will show their fangs at any time.
It is said that Guderian now regrets letting Lu Mingfei and others go out first. If he had known that he would have to stay anyway, at least Lu Mingfei is here, he feels at ease.
Guderian hesitated several times, but could not muster the courage to speak. He also knew that it would be embarrassing and humiliating to continue like this, so he couldn't bear it anymore.
"No, this... needs more."
At this moment, Fenrir stood up one step ahead of Guderian and handed the empty barrel to the latter.
"Hey, okay."
Guderian skillfully took the bucket from Fenrir, picked it up and rushed out of the carriage.
His movements were so clumsy that the waiters couldn't run as fast as him, for fear of being slower and causing dissatisfaction among the customers.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that Guderian, who had prepared a new hot chocolate drink, trotted over with a wooden bucket on his shoulders.
Then he handed the barreled drink to Fenrir again, who took it with a happy face and started drinking again.
"that……"
After everything was done, Guderian felt hesitantly that it was time to get down to business.
Although the aura of these new students is scary, they are going to Kassel to study anyway, and they will be part of Kassel College in the future. In other words, everyone will be a family in the future.
No matter how scary it is, it is not as scary as Lu Mingfei's strength. Of course, the premise is that Lu Mingfei has gone through fire and water countless times for Kassel. The entire college regards Lu Mingfei as family, and for these three new students, there is still
They need more contact, but since they are determined to come to the academy, they recognize Cassel to a certain extent.
"Professor Guderian, are you going to provide us with admission guidance?" Xia Mi raised his eyebrows and said to Guderian.
"Yes, how do you know?" Guderian was slightly startled.
"Because Senior Brother Lu told us on the way here that there would be this item, he has already given us guidance in advance," Xia Mi said.
"That's it..." Guderian breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that I have said it, there is no need to elaborate.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead. He never thought that an entrance counseling session would bring such heavy pressure to him.
"If possible, Professor, just take out that confidentiality agreement and we can sign it together." Xia Mi continued.
Zero was like an iceberg beauty from beginning to end, saying nothing, and Fenrir was even more addicted to the hot chocolate drink and couldn't extricate himself, so she had to be the spokesperson.
loubiqu.
"OK."
Guderian honestly took out three documents in Latin and English, which contained various treaties regarding dragons' deeds not to be revealed to the human world, including the hybrid's own strength and bloodline, otherwise the memory would be erased.
Wait for a series of punishments.
After watching the three people sign the documents, Guderian took out the three student ID cards he had prepared and handed them to them.
"Congratulations everyone, you have now become an official student of Kassel College."
Xia Mi Ling was slightly startled.
"Take it quickly, Kassel welcomes you to join." Guderian chuckled, as if he felt like an elder at this moment.
"Thank you, Professor."
Xia Mi took her and Fenrir's student ID cards.
Among them, Fenrir's ID photo should have been sent to Cassel by Lu Mingfei. The boy's eyes were shining brightly and he was looking forward with hope. It must have been when Fenrir was watching anime that night, Lu Mingfei casually gave it to Cassel.
Photographed.
In the photo, Xia Mi has long dark brown hair and is wearing a dark hairband. The sunset beams flow down and hit the girl's beautiful cheeks. The yellow hairband is flying in the wind, like a dancing bird.
butterfly.
Zero also took his ID.
"Professor Guderian, let me ask you a question." Xia Mi took his student ID card and said with a smile: "Does Kassel College allow students to fall in love?"
"Classmate Xia Mi, you asked this question... very well." Guderian twitched the corner of his mouth and explained: "According to Cassel's regulations, except for students in the executive department, no love can be allowed between students, and other students will not interfere.
.”
"Is that so? If I perform a mission with the other person in the future and then fall in love, will I be expelled from Kassel College?" Xia Mi asked nervously.
How could she be a dragon girl at this moment? She was just a stupid girl who was afraid of being discovered in love.
"Well...actually, if you have very good personal abilities, you can completely ignore these messy rules." Guderian thought for a moment.
"Oh, it's okay then." Xia Mi breathed a sigh of relief.
Based on Dragon Girl's strength, she should be able to meet Kassel's so-called powerful standard.
"May I ask, does Xia Mi already have someone he likes?" Guderian couldn't help but gossip.
"Yes."
"May I ask which student it is?" Guderian looked serious.
"That's Senior Brother Chu Zihang from Kassel. I've always been attracted to him." Xia Mi blinked and looked towards the door of the carriage.
Chu Zihang, who was about to open the door and come in, suddenly froze on the spot.
