The train was speeding through the dark night. Across an oak table, Lu Mingfei, Fingel and Professor Guderian were sitting across from each other.
The carriage is in an elegant European style, with the walls decorated with Victorian-style patterned wallpaper, the portholes wrapped in solid wood, and the dark green leather sofas embroidered with gold threads. There is no detail that is not exquisite.
Lu Mingfei and Fingel both put on the uniforms of Cassel College, white shirts, dark green suits with thin silver edges, dark rose scarves, and the world of Cassel College embroidered on the chest pockets.
There was a school emblem on the tree. Although the tailor of the college had never measured his figure, he made the clothes fit perfectly. Lu Mingfei opened the cuffs and saw the name embroidered with golden thread inside, Ricardo.Lu.
"Coffee or hot chocolate?" Professor Guderian asked. His back was against the wall, behind which was a huge painting covered by a canvas.
"Hot chocolate." Fingel raised his hand.
"I didn't ask you, do you expect a person like you who has repeated grade eight years to sit here and wait for people to ask you what you want to drink, and then I pour the hot chocolate and put it in your uncle Fen's hand? Excuse me? Yes.
I really don’t want to admit that you are my student.” Professor Guderian glanced at Fingel and then looked at Lu Mingfei eagerly, “Mingfei, I recommend you to have a strong drink or something, and...
Fingel is also a student temporarily assigned to me by the college. He is Lu Mingfei's legitimate senior brother. If there is anything about him that makes you uncomfortable, just tell me and I won't let him graduate this year."
Lu Mingfei waved his hand, "Just black tea, thank you Professor. Besides, Senior Brother Fingel is a nice person, so don't embarrass him too much."
He knew what Professor Guderian meant, wasn't it just that the painting on the back was too impactful? He had seen the black king Nidhogg who destroyed the world, so there was nothing to be afraid of in a mere painting. Professor Guderian nodded, and then looked at Fingel, who was slumped in the chair next to him and said, "Why are you still slumped here? Didn't you hear what your junior brother said? As the eighth senior brother, should you fulfill your responsibilities as a senior brother?"
Go and help your lovely junior brother get a cup of black tea?"
"It's your order!" When Fingel heard this, he jumped up from his chair and ran to the tea room.
Professor Guderian cleared his throat: "First of all, I'm sorry that I'm late. I was delayed in Russia for a long time. When I returned to the college, I discovered a scheduling error and I haven't picked you up yet, so I decided to follow the car.
, Secondly, the charter of our college is quite special, so there are some things I have to inform you in advance before admission. The college requires every student to take the entrance qualification examination. We call it the '3E' examination. If you do not pass the examination, you will be admitted.
If you cannot be admitted, your scholarship will not be valid for the time being."
"There is a confidentiality agreement here, please sign it." Professor Guderian handed over a document.
Facing that strange document written in Latin and English, Lu Mingfei took the folder and signed his name as smoothly as a flowing line without even thinking about it.
"Junior brother, what a courage!" Fingel, who came back from pouring tea, saw this scene and gave Lu Mingfei a thumbs up.
"This...don't you think about it or ask about it?" Professor Guderian was a little surprised.
Lu Mingfei spread his hands: "What else can I think about? Professor, the express train we are taking is heading to our mysterious Kassel College at a high speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour. Can I turn around and go back without signing the contract?
?"
"That's right...hahaha." Professor Guderian pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose with some embarrassment. He thought Lu Mingfei would at least think about it for a while or ask some questions.
"Then, please allow me to formally introduce Cassel College to you. As a formal university registered with the U.S. Department of Education, Cassel College has been committed to providing high-quality education to students with special talents and recommending jobs.
."
"Our normal schooling system is four years. People like Fingel who have studied for eight years and have not graduated are unprecedented. Our school is a classical closed education. All students must live on campus. When they graduate, we will
We will issue you a formal degree certificate, but unfortunately, our school’s degree certificate may not help you find the corresponding major in other universities, so if you want to study for a master’s degree or a doctoral degree, you can only choose this school to study.”
"I have no intention of studying for a master's degree or a Ph.D., professor. If I were to study, I would be in my twenties and I still don't have a girlfriend." Lu Mingfei said something bad.
"Hey, junior brother, I appreciate your ideas, they are exactly the same as mine." Fingel, who was sitting next to him, bumped his shoulder and whispered.
"Both each other, but senior brother, can someone like you really find a girlfriend?" Lu Mingfei said with a smile.
"Junior brother, you kill someone without any regrets!" Fingel covered his chest and screamed.
Professor Guderian's reaction was a little slow, and he said seriously: "No, Mingfei, there are many beautiful girls in our college. I believe that with your talent, uniqueness and excellence, there will be no shortage of suitors."
Lu Mingfei was ashamed and thought to himself, who in our college doesn’t know that you are the “number one street player in Kassel”? If I am really as amazing as Professor Guderian, why did I end up being a loser all my life in my last life?
Professor Guderian became serious: "As for why our college's majors are different from other universities, because Cassel College is a special college, what we study is..."
Professor Guderian stood up as he spoke, grabbed a corner of the canvas on the giant oil painting behind him, and shook it open.
The ferocious scene is exposed to the light. The sky is iron blue mixed with the color of flames. The only giant tree stands. The dead branches extend in all directions, forming a dense network to support the cracked sky. Withered bones on the wasteland.
All over the ground, a black giant beast was rising from the depths of the pile of bones. Its wings were covered with skeletons. After opening its huge membrane wings, it looked up to the sky and spit out black flames.

"Dragon! To be more precise, the Dragon King Nidhogg. According to the Nordic mythology "Old Edda", at Ragnarok, it will bite off the roots of Yggdrasil, the world tree.
That day, the world was destroyed." Professor Guderian's fingers swept across the neat hardcover ancient books on the bookshelf, "If you know Latin, you can understand the names of these books, "Dragon Genealogy", "Dragon and the Spirit of the Word"
"Technology", "Solomon's Key", "Dragon Lineage Theory", "Dragon Genetics"... This is our accumulation over thousands of years. Countless generations of people have searched for and studied dragons. Kassel College is the master of it all.
At Kassel College, you can choose different subjects such as Alchemical Engineering, Magic Mechanical Design, Dragon Clan Theory, etc. The ultimate goal of all courses is..." He looked directly into Lu Mingfei's eyes, "Slay the dragon!
”
"Okay! Slay the dragon!" Lu Mingfei applauded vigorously like an audience who was extremely satisfied with the wonderful drama that had just ended.
Professor Guderian was a little confused: "Mingfei, didn't you feel something else...except shock?"
Lu Mingfei scratched his hair: "No, Professor, it's quite an ordinary painting. It's just that it's very beautifully painted and makes me feel like I'm actually there."
Professor Guderian's eyes lit up and he came to him: "Are you there? Mingfei, did you see something? Or feel pressure or something?"
"No." Lu Mingfei shook his head.
Professor Guderian seemed a little disappointed and sat back awkwardly. Lu Mingfei wanted to say something bad to break the embarrassment at this time.
There was a loud noise like the earth was shattering, the whole train shook, all the lights flashed and went out, and darkness fell.
"Brother, those who rebel against fate will be penetrated by the burning spear into the deepest part of hell." The little devil's voice sounded in the darkness.
All the lights came back on, and it was still the luxurious train and the leather sofa, but Professor Guderian and Fingel were gone. Lu Mingfei turned around, and the little devil was sitting next to him. p>
"Hey, hey, what the hell are you doing? Are you going to appear in such a cool and awesome way?" Lu Mingfei was a little dissatisfied.
Lu Mingze ignored his complaint and pointed out the window. Lu Mingfei looked in the direction of his finger.
It is no longer a dark night outside the window. The train is running at high speed on the vast ice field. The plain white and bluish ice covers the mountains that pierce the sky. The sky is as rich as blood red and the heavy rain is pouring. Every time
The drops of water were bright red and flowed down the car window. On the top of the ice peak, the giant dragon in the picture lay quietly, its wings hanging down to the foot of the mountain, and the thick blood dyed the entire mountain red.
Ice Peak. Groups of people are climbing up along the dragon's wings. Those who have climbed to the top surround the dragon's head. They nail the sharp iron awl on the dragon's skull and beat the tail of the awl vigorously. Each time they drill open
From a hole, white slurry gushes out like a fountain, and evaporates into a rich white gas in a moment. Those people cheered and shouted loudly.
"Isn't it the scene where Nidhogg, the rebellious minister and traitor, was killed by the Dragon King and the hybrids? Why do you want me to watch it again?" Lu Mingfei looked careless, his eyes drifting into the distance. Suddenly, his pupils suddenly shrank.
, "Wait...what is that?"
He saw an endless black fog slowly gathering, with scarlet lightning flashing from time to time. The black fog moved towards Nidhogg's body, as if... trying to swallow Nidhogg. p>
"Have you noticed something is wrong, brother?" Lu Mingze said beside him, "That existence has already stolen part of the Black King's power."
"Brother, what we have to face next is a battle that is more difficult to fight than the previous life."
Lu Mingfei's expression became fierce, and his golden pupils appeared: "So what, as long as there is something that dares to block our steps and block our way forward, no matter what it is, they will all be crushed by us.
."
"That's right, brother." A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Mingfei's face, but mixed with sullenness and anger, "No matter what he is, he will be crushed by us!"
"I'm here to remind you, brother, that every subsequent incident may have its shadow involved, so be careful."
"Remember what we are going to do this time?"
Lu Mingfei replied: "Looking for."
"Yes brother, I will tell you how to do it on the phone."
Lu Mingfei wants to say that you have something to say, can’t you tell it now? Why do you keep doing all this nagging? You’re starting over again. Have you still not changed your habit of being the Riddler? Or does this make you look more powerful? "The Riddler, get out of Gotham!" Lu Mingfei shouted. He opened his eyes and found himself lying on a leather bench, covered with a blanket. This was a quaintly decorated study room, surrounded by bookcases and a roof.
A crystal chandelier hangs.
"Huh? What Riddler? Did you just dream of the "Batman" comics?" Professor Guderian raised his disheveled head. He was studying an ancient book "Dragon Genealogy".
Lu Mingfei patted his head: "Professor, are we at the college now?"
"You're still on the train, but you were sleeping so deeply that you couldn't even wake up, so I asked Fingel to carry you to the study."
Lu Mingfei murmured to himself: "Is that so..." Suddenly he looked up as if he thought of something and asked, "Professor, what did I do after you showed me Nidhogg's paintings? How about the freshman orientation guidance?
The end?"
"Mingfei, don't you remember? After reading the painting, I asked you if you had any feelings. You said "Nidhogg is nothing, I can wipe it out with just a finger" on your face and said you didn't have any feelings.
Then you said you were a little tired and wanted to sleep for a while, so you just slept until now." Professor Guderian scratched his gray eyebrows and whispered to Lu Mingfei, "Actually, I don't think Mingfei is as powerful as you.
Excellent! You are worthy of being the best "S" class student. We must have this fearless attitude when facing the Dragon Clan!"
Lu Mingfei was a little speechless. Why did he start bragging about me again? But in my previous life, it was really not difficult for me to kill Nidhogg.
Professor Guderian looked worried and said with concern: "Mingfei, are you okay? I think you look very bad."
"It's okay, Professor, I just woke up and haven't recovered yet."
Professor Guderian nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Lu Mingfei was too shocked after learning about the existence of dragons. He pretended to be calm on the surface, but was actually frightened and had some psychological problem.
All his hopes of being appointed as a lifelong honorary professor at Kassel College rested on Lu Mingfei! If something happened to Lu Mingfei, I would ask the senior professors at Harvard University not to drag his face and go to Kassel.
I don’t want to be a temporary professor at Seoul College just to spend the rest of my life staring at Finnish dogs who will never graduate.
Thinking of Fingel, Professor Guderian turned his head and looked at Fingel, who was lying on the sofa sleeping like a dead pig and grunting from time to time. He suddenly became angry and kicked Fengel in the past.
On the butt: "Get up quickly, we will be at the academy soon!"
Fingel jumped up from the sofa with an "ouch" and covered his butt, and said with a bitter look on his face: "Professor, you have double standards! Junior brother has been sleeping until just now, why do you beat me alone?"
Professor Guderian glared: "Do you want to fail my class this semester?"
Fingel immediately stood up and saluted: "No problem, Professor! I will be responsible for helping the juniors carry their luggage!"
Professor Guderian nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Lu Mingfei: "Mingfei, the vision of our college is very beautiful. You can take a closer look later."
