Chapter 34: Vision
Lin Nian opened his eyes with almost all his strength, he pushed the desk hard and stepped back a few meters away with the chair, the chair legs scratched the floor and made a harsh noise, and finally pulled him back from his confusion to reality.
Manstein stood at his desk, his exam paper in his hand, and looked at him with a stunned expression.
Lin Nian had him look around, the classroom was still the same classroom, outside the window was the corridor and the lush flower beds in the distance, Teacher Masashi Toyama was looking at him with a serious face on the window, and he felt that he was eager to rush in to clear his psychological difficulties.
"The exam is over, don't be nervous! You're still here and you're safe. You've just had a vision, and everything you see is an illusion of resonance. Manstein quickly sealed the exam paper into the file bag and walked to Lin Nian's side: "Don't be nervous, no one will hurt you here." ”
"Hallucinations? But I heard someone talking, and I saw... Snow! Yes, I saw a lot of snow just now. Lin Nian hung down and supported his thighs, and he was a little out of breath.
"It's normal, I've had this kind of auditory hallucinations and hallucinations when I've seen before, and I've heard the sound of the wind, the hollow wind that fills the whole world, like standing in front of the biggest typhoon the world has ever seen." Manstein pressed Lin Nian's shoulder and was relieved: "The exam is over, you have successfully done it, even without knowing the content of the 3E exam, you still completed the answer." ”
"Answer?" Lin Nian realized that the exam was over, and he looked up at the wall clock, and now it was close to noon, he was stunned for a while before he said, "But I haven't written any answers." ”
"It must have been you who inadvertently recorded the dragon text you heard when you were in the spiritual vision." Manstein looked at the broken pencil on the table: "To my surprise, you were much worse than you are now. ”
"What was it like when I answered the quiz?" Lin Nian rubbed his cheeks fiercely with both hands.
"It's very calm, it's very calm, and Masashi Toyama and I also noticed that you had a confident smile on your face, and while answering the question, you hummed along to Bach on the horn, and after you finished answering, you sat there with your eyes closed and motionless, probably resting." Manstein's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Lin Nian.
"What am I... Is it a ghost? Lin Nian felt a little confused.
"No, this is all normal, maybe you will really become the first student ever to be promoted to the 'S-rank' bloodline, this is a special honor, but you have to remember that you also earned it yourself!" Manstein said earnestly: "The next task of marking the papers will be handled by Norma, remember Norma?" The artificial intelligence secretary of the college, with her to deal with it, there is no need to worry about the problem of grade errors. ”
"My mind is a little messy... I don't have any impression of what you said when I answered the question! Lin Nian kept taking deep breaths, hoping that he could calm down.
"Normal, many students will have corresponding crazy behaviors when they appear to have spiritual vision, compared to them, your temporary amnesia is relatively normal, I remember that a certain class of students with excellent blood appeared after the spiritual vision also had physical problems, his golden pupils were alienated, one of them became a heterochromatic pupil of the same color as blood, but then it returned to normal after careful conditioning." Manstein explained.
"Golden pupils?" Lin Nian heard another strange word.
"The hybrid with dragon blood will turn the iris and pupils of the eyes into gold when they are emotional, which is a mutation caused by dragon genes, and at the same time, when the golden pupil is born, the carrier will also secrete pheromones that can be transmitted in the air, land, and water, so that the creatures who meet the golden pupil will have a sense of submission, which is basically the same as the beast in the animal kingdom declaring its territory." Manstein said.
But the beast's way of declaring territory is usually to pee... This trough Lin Nian wanted to spit it out, but it was not suitable for him to say bad things in his situation.
"Did my eyes turn golden just now?" Lin Nian looked around, but unfortunately he didn't find anything like a mirror.
"Yes, it's the most beautiful color I've ever seen in my life." Manstein nodded and said softly: "You really don't need to be nervous, we have experienced all the abnormalities that have appeared in you, and we can understand your fear and confusion, because we used to sit here like you, timidly and awe-inspiring to open up these real histories." ”
Lin Nian's breathing gradually stabilized, and after a while, after the classroom was completely silent, he rubbed the bridge of his nose and looked a little tired: "Thank you, professor." ”
"No thanks, your sister also finished the exam on the third floor, but it's a pity that she handed in the blank paper, otherwise she would have had a chance to become a regular student." Manstein said: "It seems that the two of you are not related by blood. ”
"We met in an orphanage, and she was much older than me, unless my parents were blind and sent to the same orphanage on both occasions." Lin Nian took a deep breath: "I don't think it's a bad thing that she handed over the white scroll, I would rather she wouldn't have experienced what I saw just now." ”
"Everyone's spiritual vision is good and bad, it seems that yours belongs to the latter, if you feel like talking, I will be waiting for you in the office of Teacher Masashi Toyama this afternoon." Manstein patted Lin Nian on the shoulder: "But now, what you need is rest, it's lunchtime, maybe a cup of hot chocolate can help you soothe your spirits." ”
"Professor, you just said that only if you resonate with Longwen will you have spiritual vision, but during the exam, it was Bach's music that was clearly played." Lin Nian raised doubts.
"It's just a small trick, we hide the dragon text under normal music, the more difficult the question, the lower the pitch of the dragon text, only the students with a very good bloodline can keenly resonate with those inconspicuous dragon texts, and record it as the answer to the exam." Manstein patted the document bag in his hand lightly: "There are ten dragon texts in total, I have counted them, and your answers are also ten, if all of them are correct, then you will be the first 'S-class' student of the Kassel Academy in recent years!" ”
"I..." Lin Nian wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he found that Professor Manstein's eyes were full of appreciation and love, and he swallowed all the words when they came to his mouth.
"Go and take a break, Norma will send you the freshman class schedule tonight, and the school will choose a few subjects that are easier to get started than auditing for you, and your test scores will not be recorded as grade points in this half academic year, and naturally you will not get credits in advance, so don't be pressured, and it should be good to adapt to the college environment." Manstein lifted Lin Nian up from his seat.
Lin Nian and Manstein walked to the door, the door of the classroom was opened from the outside, Lin Nian looked up and saw Lin Xian standing outside the door, the sunlight refracted down and shook his eyes, so that everything was smudged with a layer of pale gold, for a while he was a little stunned, and the mottled picture in front of him had some signs of emergence, but when the breeze blew Lin Xian's black hair, he realized that he was still in reality.
"What's the matter, are you proud to have surpassed me in your test scores?" Lin Xian stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Lin Nian's eyes, and said with a smile.
"No... I just wanted to ask you if you ever dyed your hair blonde at one time? Lin Nian couldn't help but ask.
"Golden? Do you think I look like a Shibuya girl? Lin Xian shook his head with a smile: "I just heard Instructor Toyama Masashi outside that you did very well in the exam, it seems that I will have to hug your thighs in the future to be able to afford to eat." ”
"The canteen has enough pork knuckle." Lin Nian rubbed his temples and chuckled.
"No, with Lin Xian's knowledge and eagerness to learn, I believe that even if you don't have a bloodline, you will definitely be able to make some achievements in school, you must know that the work of the secret party involves a lot of knowledge, large and small." Masashi Toyama on the side said seriously.
"The library of the Kassel Academy is really interesting, I have been there a lot in the past two days, I have seen a lot of new theories, and I will try to work on what I am good at." Lin Xian bowed slightly to Masashi Toyama.
"Maybe you can continue to talk about work in the cafeteria, I'm going to take the files to the archives and enter them into Norma's computer, so I'm out of company for a while." Manstein held up the document and nodded to Lin Nian and the others, then turned and left.
"Can you tell us about what you see? I just found out outside that you had a big reaction at the end. Masashi Toyama asked Lin Nian.
"Snow... There are also snow-capped mountains, black skies and iron gates... It felt like something I'd never seen in my life. Lin Nian tried to remember the events on the way to the exam.
"You don't have to work hard to memorize, it's a good thing if you can't remember clearly, and I can do some psychological counseling for you later." Masashi Toyama said.
"Hungry? Xiaolongren, are you going to go to the faculty cafeteria today? I heard that there are a few more special soup dishes than the student cafeteria. Lin Xian patted Lin Nian on the back.
"What a little dragon man..."Lin Nian muttered as he followed behind Masashi Toyama and Lin Xian.
It's just that he doesn't know why, along the way, he frequently looked at Lin Xian's back as if he was making some comparisons, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking his head.
