Chapter 351 The principal’s afternoon tea and Ange’s temptation
In the afternoon, in the principal’s office.
Angers' desk is so huge that it doesn't feel crowded even if four people sit side by side.
The alluring aroma of tea rose from the white porcelain tea set with gold edges, and the only sound in the room was the sound of knives and forks.
"It seems that the desserts I have here are very suitable for you. Before, I was worried that my taste would be too indifferent and I would not be popular!"
Looking at the students in front of him, Ange smiled faintly.
In front of him, Natsumi, who was sitting on the far left, and Eri, who was sitting on the middle right, were waving knives and forks and eating cakes in small bites.
Zero on the far right pushed the chocolate cake in front of him to Eri, while Su Mo on the left in the middle was holding black tea and helplessly watching Xia Mi dig into the dessert in front of her with a spoon.
After hearing Angers words, Xia Mi swallowed the cake, waved his knife and fork and praised with joy.
"Principal, do you know that the best way to praise desserts here is 'this is not sweet'? Where did the principal find a pastry chef who can actually do this to such an extent that you don't feel like you are gaining weight even after eating it!"
Eriyi on the side also nodded in agreement and answered obediently.
"this is delicious!"
There are very few girls who don't like desserts, and the same goes for female dragons.
"Isn't a sweet dessert the highest compliment? It's very philosophical! Thank you for the compliment. If you don't mind, you can take some back from me next time. I believe the pastry chef will be happy when he hears your compliments!"
Anger nodded thoughtfully, then smiled.
"Okay! Thank you principal!"
Xia Mi immediately beamed.
I don’t know whether it’s the inherent talent of the “young” girl, or whether it’s because Miss Xia Mi is too lively, but it’s hard to feel tense when she’s around.
"Thank you principal!"
Eriyi also thanked her.
"This is the first time I have entertained four students at once. Surrounded by so many young people, I feel a lot younger!"
Angre smiled heartily, and then looked at Eri Yi.
"Eri-san is using alchemy products? If you want to communicate with others, this is a good choice."
He keenly noticed that Eryi did not speak when she spoke, and the voice was directly transmitted to his mind.
Ange glanced at Su Mo in surprise, and then quickly realized that there was Su Enxi behind Su Mo, and it was normal for him to find such a weapon given his background.
"That is really a precious gift, worth cherishing!"
"Yeah! I will cherish it!"
Eriyi's little face is full of seriousness.
Seeing her expression, Angre nodded secretly and gained a lot of confidence in the school management plan proposed by Su Mo.
"Speaking of which, although you can communicate with people just by relying on alchemy items, it is still different from normal communication. If necessary, Su Mo, you can help Eriki-san apply to the equipment department to add an adapter to directly transcribe the snake's radio waves.
into sound, which is more suitable for daily use."
Angers looked at Su Mo and made suggestions.
The Equipment Department can create alchemical equipment, but it cannot create equipment that contains the alchemical field.
But they are very good at combining science and alchemy. They only need to carry a small electronic device to easily capture the snake's frequency and convert it into sound waves to emit.
"Well, thank you principal, I will apply later."
Su Mo nodded.
Although there is no big problem in using snakes to communicate directly, it is naturally better to be able to speak sounds. It is the first time for Eri to come to a school with so many strangers, so it is better not to make her too special.
"You're welcome, just think of it as a small meeting gift for Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Japan Branch."
Angers smiled and joked using the title used in the school forum.
It seems that he often peeks into the Night Watch forum.
After speaking, Ange spoke again and asked Su Mo.
"Just now the forum posted news that you gave the weapon to Chu Zihang?"
"It's just returned to its original owner. Since the principal said it was his father's relic, I can't take it as a trophy as my own."
Su Mo shook his head, looking upright and solemn.
There was no clue that he had threatened Chu Zihang just now and deceived him into becoming a coolie.
Ange had no doubts about Su Mo's words. In his eyes, Su Mo was a good candidate for dragon slaying. It was normal and a good thing for such a talented young man to have such persistence.
"In that case, do you need any alchemy weapons? If necessary, you can apply directly to the Equipment Department. The school will give preferential treatment to students with meritorious deeds. This is the same for the three of you."
Angers glanced at Su Mo, Xia Mi, and Ling. The three of them were all students with considerable achievements. With a little bit of principal privileges, they all had the qualifications to customize their own weapons.
Hearing what Ange said, Su Mo and Ling had no reaction, but Xia Mi became interested.
"Alchemy weapons from the Equipment Department? Is there any type in the alchemy field that carries high-risk word spirits, such as Black Sun?"
Her eyes sparkled.
In fact, she didn't really expect to have domain weapons like the Black Sun, she just subconsciously asked for the price.
Although I know that human alchemy cannot be compared with that of dragons, but since Angers, the dragon-slaying legend, has actively recommended it, it can't be those rubbish that don't even have a field or even characteristics, right?
No matter how good they are, they should have unearthed some alchemical antiquities after digging graves in various places over the years, right?
"..."
Hearing that Xia Mi spoke of an alchemy product with a domain, and casually mentioned a word spirit of the level of "Black Sun", the corners of Ange's eyes twitched slightly.
Why don't you say you have "Judgment" or even "Laiyin" alchemical weapons?
If the secret party really had something of this level, it would have taken it out to kill the Dragon King long ago. How could it be kept until now?
"Items in the alchemy field are too precious. Even if there are collections, they are only for the highest level research. They are usually sealed in the deepest part of the ice cellar and cannot be used as student weapons."
Ange spread his hands helplessly.
"The customization I'm talking about can only customize the weapon specifications and then use the best mass-produced alchemy materials to build it. There is really no way to provide the artifact-level weapons you mentioned."
If the equipment department was good enough to make these weapons, he would also use a hammer and a folding knife.
"Eh, is that so? Let's forget it then!"
Hearing this, Xia Mi was a little disappointed.
The best mass-produced alchemy materials are just rubbish, not as good as her Death Scythe!
"I don't need it either."
Zero spoke expressionlessly.
"I don't have this need here either."
Su Mo also shook his head and said.
"I'm studying alchemy recently and plan to try making it myself. As for weapons that fit my hand, my sister can also get them, so don't worry."
These words are naturally intended to endorse the seven deadly sins.
"Learn alchemy?"
Hearing this, Ange was slightly startled.
He remembered that Su Mo did mention this in the mission report.
However, the content related to alchemy was brushed aside and the level of the book was not clearly stated.
Anger didn't know that the alchemy field props on Eliyi were made by Su Mo, and thought they were purchased by Su Enxi through her contacts.
Therefore, when he heard Su Mo say that he was learning alchemy, he thought that Su Mo was just using it for practice and that he relied on his rich sister for actual combat weapons.
After all, even if a seventeen-year-old hybrid started studying alchemy from birth, it would be impossible for him to reach a professional level, let alone a master.
The study of alchemy requires talent and mentorship, both of which are indispensable.
"If you want to learn alchemy, you can send a private message to the night watchman in the forum for help."
Recalling what an old friend once said about wanting to accept an S-class apprentice, Angers took the initiative to suggest it.
"The vice-principal is quite accomplished in alchemy and may be able to help you."
It would be fine if Su Mo had no interest in alchemy. Since he was interested, he would be willing to let his old friend pass on the mantle.
Angers' words were tinged with ceremonial humility.
In his opinion, Su Mo was a complete novice, and it was enough to have the famous instructor Flamel to guide him.
But in fact, Su Mo's alchemy was inherited from Lu Mingze. If there was something that Lu Mingze couldn't help him with, the Night Watchman wouldn't be able to help him, so he nodded politely.
"I know, I will contact him if I have any difficulties! Thank you principal for reminding me!"
"Um."
Ang nodded as he consciously fulfilled the Night Watchman's instructions.
"Well, since you don't need this benefit, I won't say much and go straight to the point! You should be curious as to why I invited you to have afternoon tea, right?"
After the small talk, Angers got down to business.
"Very curious indeed!"
After finishing the dessert in front of Su Mo with the last bite, Xia Mi was very flattering and complimented her.
"I came to you this time for a total of three things."
Ange took a sip of black tea and said slowly.
"The first thing is about the tutor. You must already know the system of Kassel College. Freshmen must be in the name of the tutor."
"I have indeed heard of this rule, but no one seems to have come to us?"
Xia Mi scratched his cheek, looking a little confused.
Although school has not officially started yet, Nono, who is in the same dormitory, has been assigned a tutor, but there has been no movement on her side.
This is especially true for the newly joined Su Mo and others.
"That's because you have already been assigned a mentor, but you haven't been informed yet because you haven't gathered them all yet."
Ange said with a smile.
Su Mo quickly realized the subtext of Angers hint.
"What the principal means is that you are our mentor?"
"That's right!"
Angkor nodded.
"Your status is rather special, and some of your files are highly confidential. It is not suitable to hand them over to other instructors."
When he said this, Ange looked at Su Mo and Eryi, and then joked to everyone.
"I feel that I am quite popular among students, and my management of students is also very relaxed. As long as the grades meet the standard, you can graduate. I think you will not reject me as a tutor, right?"
"of course not!"
The three of them shook their heads one after another. Eriyi slowed down a beat and shook her head too.
Angers and Lu Mingze have a special deal. In this case, Angers is one of their backers. Who would refuse to be protected by a backstage?
Seeing that he was not disliked by the young students, Anger nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Eri Yi.
"That's how the tutor's matter has been decided. The second thing is about the school director."
When he said this, Ange's expression became more serious.
Obviously, this is the real point,
"Regarding Eriyi's candidacy for school director, all school directors are currently understanding the situation. Except for the Gattuso family who has firmly refused, other school directors are still waiting and watching."
While introducing the situation of the school board of directors, Anger looked directly into Eriki's eyes and asked.
"Now is the time window for the eight Sheqi families to exert their influence and gain support through lobbying."
"Eri-san, as the representative of the Eight Seraki Families, this is an opportunity for you to play a role. What are your plans?"
As soon as this was said, the office fell silent.
Ange didn't say a word, but his momentum rose and he stared at Eriyi in front of him.
And faced with this oppressive look.
Eriki's reaction was - she blinked blankly.
What is this reaction?
"Eri-san, as the representative of the eight Sheqi families, what are your plans?"
Angers could only ask again.
At this time, Hui Liyi woke up as if waking up from a dream.
"Huh? Are the principal and grandpa talking about me?"
"Yes!"
Ange nodded, and all the care for the younger generation that flickered in his eyes before was gone, but was replaced by sharp and unavoidable eyes.
"Do you have any ideas or plans?"
Hearing this, Eriyi looked panicked and immediately turned to Su Mo for help. Like a student who was distracted in class and was not paying attention to the lecture, he tugged on his sleeves like the teacher asked him to answer a question.
"Brother Su Mo, what are my plans?"
She didn't quite understand what Angers meant. She was distracted when she heard the long speech. She didn't expect that it was related to her.
Fortunately, Brother Su Mo is here. If she can't answer the question, she only needs to ask Su Mo.
After hearing Eriki's question, Su Mo smiled slightly and shook his head to indicate to her not to worry and just leave the question to him.
Then, he looked at Angers.
"The principal should have an answer now, right?"
After hearing Su Mo's words and seeing Eri Yi's expression of relief, Ange lost his previous aura and resumed his previous kind attitude.
"Well, that's a good answer!"
After nodding to Su Mo, he apologized to Eri Yi.
"Sorry, Eriki-san, it's a very important matter and I have to confirm it."
Letting the eight Sheqi families join this poker game is not an easy decision to make, and it may directly change the entire situation.
Once the eight Sheqi families rebel again and unite with the Gattuso family, it is very likely that the Gattuso family will be saved from despair.
In that case, it would be too difficult to achieve the current record again.
Therefore, even if Su Mo had made every effort to ensure the reliability of Huiliyi in his report, with Ange's style, he still had to confirm it in person before he could feel at ease.
Obviously, Eri Yi's performance just now satisfied him - he was not afraid of not being assertive, but he was afraid of being too assertive.
He was so satisfied that he was even a little surprised. How did the Sheqi family, which was full of betrayal, manage to raise such a good child out of the mud?
Is this the old saying that bad bamboo produces good bamboo shoots?
Although there is suspicion of using this child, in the field of political struggle, mutual use is the norm, and being able to use each other is the basis for the establishment of alliances.
"It doesn't matter."
Eriki looked around. Since neither Su Mo nor Sister Ling were angry, it shouldn't be a bad thing. She immediately shook her head obediently and didn't take it to heart.
Compared to the hostility and fear she had faced, this level of questioning was nothing.
Seeing Eri Yi's cute and cute look, Anger finally understood why Su Mo trusted her so much, so he nodded immediately.
"Since there is no problem with Eriki-san, leave it to me to lobby the other school directors! After all, I am still a bit weak among the school directors."
After confirming that Eriki was a trustworthy teammate and would not be as despicable as the Japanese branch had shown before, Angers took the initiative to take over the task of lobbying.
Thinking about it, if he was dissatisfied with the representatives of the Eight Sheqi Families, he would definitely not do this, and the plan of the Eight Sheqi Families would definitely come to nothing.
