Volume 1 The Glimmer Chapter 17 Class A
Distant Europe, Swiss Confederation, on the outskirts of Lucerne, Augustus College.
It is a large oval office, with an area of at least a few hundred square meters, in a classical European style. Looking to the right after entering the door, there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, the stained glass is painted with lifelike patterns, both exquisite and transparent, you can see the library and restaurant in the distance, and even the green mountains and lakes in the distance; in front of the floor-to-ceiling window is a rectangular wooden desk, a few meters long on the top of the table are placed in different categories, or the years are old, the whole desk is dark brown, the four corners of the table are embossed with gorgeous graphics, noble atmosphere. The central area of the office is covered with a thick Persian carpet topped by two long rows of ochre leather sofas flanked by a floor lamp, and in the center is a long wooden coffee table filled with crystal vases filled with flowers and silver tea sets that gleamed in the soft light. In the left area of the office, a long row of semi-arc-shaped bookshelves stand against the wall, the bookshelves are several meters high, displaying all kinds of books, most of which are the binding style commonly used by medieval Europeans, with hard cover and gilt front and back covers, and many ancient books, which have not been lost in the long river of history and have been well preserved by the owner. Standing in the office and looking up, the ten-meter-high dome, composed of stained glass, is based on the world-famous "Genesis" painted by Master Michelangelo on the Dome of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. The office is littered with the owner's collection of artworks, scattered and scattered, ranging from large floor-to-ceiling porcelain vases from the East to exquisite sculptures from the West, and some of them are real cultural relics of great value.
An old man with silver hair and a silver suit sat at his desk, looking attentive, as if thinking about something.
A sweet synthesized electronic voice suddenly sounded in the quiet office: "Claudio Hanks has arrived, is he allowed to enter?"
"Let him in. The silver-haired old man said casually.
"Yes, permission to enter. The synthesized voice repeated the command, and the heavy office door opened automatically.
Claudio walked in, came to his desk, bowed to the old man, and said, "Headmaster, do you want to see me?"
The old man, known as the Headmaster, looked up at him and said, "Claudio, sit." ”
Claudio sat across from his desk, seemingly with a hint of urgency, and asked, "Is Gu Xiaoshi's data coming out?"
"Hehe," the headmaster said with a smile on his face, "Claudio, be patient, how calm are you?"
Claudio also found himself a little out of shape, took a breath, and said, "Headmaster, this matter ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the door to the office opened again.
This time it was an old Western man, emaciated, gray-haired, wearing a white lab coat often seen in the laboratory, who slumped over to his desk and sat down on his own.
"Vice Chancellor Clarence. Claudio stood up as the old man entered the door and greeted him respectfully.
"What's the matter?" the old man in the white coat looked at the headmaster.
"Don't always keep a straight face, old John, my friend, it's important to get you out of the R&D department!" the headmaster said to him jokingly.
"Tell me something, I don't have that much time!" said Old John through gritted teeth.
No one knew the exact age of Old John except the headmaster, and although he looked old, he was still full of energy and sharp thinking. He's known the principal for over 60 years, and he's a typical workaholic, spending his days in the R&D department tinkering with things that don't want to see him when there's nothing important.
"There is indeed something very important to invite you two here today, very important," the headmaster put away his cynical smile and ordered, "Leah!"
"Yes, Headmaster. The sweet synthesized sound sounded, and then, a ray of light shot in, quickly forming a projection map.
"What is this?" John Sr. glanced at a row of data on the projection map.
The next moment, Old John was petrified......
"This can't be!" said Old John, feeling the urge to curse, "Is this a joke!?"
Claudio also saw that line of data, and froze in place for a moment, before he came back to his senses and asked, "What is this......?" This is Gu Xiaoshi's?"
"Ridiculous, have you ever seen such a number?" scolded Old John.
"Yes, it's his, it looks like it's finally been found. It was the headmaster who spoke, answering Claudio's question.
"Are you talking about that child?" Old John couldn't sit still.
"Yes, that's him. The headmaster nodded.
"I see!" Old John looked at the line of data in a daze, as if talking to himself, and muttered, "But this is impossible, this value will never appear, are you mistaken?"
Claudio on the side also cast the same puzzled look at the headmaster.
"I repeated it three times!" said the headmaster.
The two of them suddenly shut up, they both knew what the headmaster's answer meant, and perhaps no one in this world could have a better say than him.
Old John obviously couldn't accept this fact, and muttered: "48% of the magic resistance factor content, this is tending to 'natural balance', there has never been such a high content in history, what does this mean?"
"Sorry, old friend, I can't answer your question either. The Headmaster continued, "The amount of the Magic Resistance Factor in the cells determines its potential, but no one has ever reached such a high level, even the best among us, and as you say, it tends to be 'naturally balanced'. ”
"'Natural balance,' 48 per cent......," said John Sr., repeating the words over and over again, "what does that mean?"
"This means," the headmaster said thoughtfully, "Augustus Academy, no, the entire demon hunting world, will usher in an opportunity, as for whether this opportunity is good or bad, no one can predict it now!"
Old John finally came to his senses and asked, "Where is this boy at the moment? I will see him now, now!"
"Old man, I'm afraid this wish of yours can't be fulfilled now, right?" the headmaster smiled, "He's still in the far east. ”
"Claudio, help me get ready now, you come with me, I'll take him back to the academy to take a closer look. Old John got up and said.
"Claudio just came back from there, and you're going to let him go again?" the headmaster beckoned, motioned for the two to sit down, and said, "Don't worry, old man, Claudio has succeeded in convincing that kid this time, and it won't be long before you can see him with your own eyes." ”
"How long will it take?" said Old John, glaring at the headmaster, "Tell me!"
"Of course, the new semester has started, and the child has agreed to come to the academy. The headmaster said, "Be patient, old man, in two months' time, I promise you'll see him." ”
"Really?" Old John turned to Claudio a little disappointed, and asked, "How did you get him to come to the Academy?"
Claudio briefly recounted what had happened, and Old John frowned and asked, "Scholarship?50,000 euros?That's it?"
"That's it. Claudio replied with a nod.
"You are indeed the number one liar under this old fellow," said old John, staring at Claudio, "two liars, one big and one small." ”
"Liar?" the headmaster laughed and said, "Old man, can you have a better way to get him to come to the academy willingly?, or are you going to tell him directly: 'Come to the academy, here you will become a powerful demon hunter, and from now on fight against the demons and protect this world!'?
"Of course not," said old John, shaking his head, "but he is coming, and sooner or later he will know, and then ......"
"Let's talk about it when we come," the headmaster waved his hand and said, "Everyone is here, and many things will be easy to do." ”
"But......," said old John, seemed to want to say something.
"No, I know that this kid may be unknown, but we have to have the confidence to guide him, and of course this is the best option for us," the principal said firmly, "and the same is true for him." ”
Old John pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "You are right, this is the best choice. ”
"By the way, Claudio, has there been a result of the matter over there of the Jiang family in Shenzhou?" the headmaster asked.
"Yes, principal, it has been done, the Jiang family did not agree at first, but later allowed it. Claudio nodded.
"The Eastern and Western Demon Hunting Realms have never been able to come forward, just like the Jiang family, a big family that has been inherited through the ages, this attempt may be a new beginning. The principal said, "Claudio, you personally follow up on these two things, and you must complete all the admission procedures in the shortest possible time." ”
The principal once again admonished: "Especially Gu Xiaoshi's, there is no room for the slightest difference!"
"I understand, I'll deal with it!" Claudio took the order and asked again, "Headmaster, Gu Xiaoshi's magic resistance factor content is much higher than A-grade, what should I do with the student's rating?"
"Of course you can't use an X grade, it's too shocking and it will cause him a lot of pressure, so I've thought about it, just use the A grade!" replied the principal.
"A level, another A level, and two A levels in second year!" Claudio was excited.
"Yes, gentlemen," said the Headmaster, standing up, "I hope that today's conversation, known only to the three of us, is of great importance, and is about our cause, and perhaps the fate of all of us!"
The two of them left after making a promise, leaving the principal alone in the huge office.
The headmaster took out a photo from the information bag on the table, a photo of Gu Xiaoshi, secretly taken by Claudio's subordinates, and looked at the boy who had grown up, "This is a gamble, the bet is everything!" The corners of the principal's mouth curled, and he said to himself: "Are you right? Gu Xiaoshi!"
