Chapter 32: Societies
At lunchtime, the vice principal, who thought it was the bell ringing, woke up, and the bell tower bell rang melodiously and continuously.
Lin Nian walked under the curved dome of the restaurant with an empty dinner plate, and when he walked to the table, he saw Fingal in the seat at the end waving to him, as for why he didn't say hello, it was because this guy's mouth was stuffed with a pig's trotter and left no gap.
"Brother Fingal." Lin Nian was so enthusiastic that he walked to Fingal's side and sat down to say hello.
"Is the body test finished? I must be hungry. Fingal forked another pig's trotter from his plate into Lin Nian's plate: "Eat more and replenish your energy." β
"Did my brother see my sister?" Lin Nian flipped through the pig's trotters on the plate with a fork to see if there were any hairs on it.
"Your sister? The faculty and staff don't eat here, it's the student cafeteria. "You don't want to see students and teachers fighting each other in the cafeteria with mashed potatoes and pork knuckles because of the legacy of the class," Fingal said. β
"The cafeteria is always the best place to complain about teachers, I understand that." Lin Nian nodded and said that there is also such a custom in China, and it seems that teachers and students are class enemies wherever they go.
"Is the junior brother interested in joining the club?" Fingal asked.
"Society?" Lin Nian, who was thinking about where the pork knuckle came from, raised his head.
"As the name suggests, small groups among students, the purpose is to enhance the cohesion and sense of honor among students, and it belongs to the internal competitive movement encouraged by the school." Fingal paused for a moment and then whispered: "To put it simply, if you don't worship the mountain, you can't mix much in the school, and someone has to stand up straight in the school behind you... Even if it's a senior brother, I've worshiped the mountain! β
"Where is the senior brother?" Lin Nian was a little curious about what kind of society dared to ask for the great god Fingal.
"The Student Council, one of the two largest hills in the college."
"It must be difficult to join this kind of club, right? Senior brother is amazing. Lin Nian stirred his own vegetable soup.
Fingal stared intently at Lin Nian's face, and found that the other party had flattery in his mouth but no envy or surprise on his face, which made him a little frustrated when he intended to show off. As everyone knows, in the early years, those rich second-generation students who showed off golf courses and high-end sports cars in front of Lin Nian felt the same way.
"Senior brother said before that there are two mountains, what is the other one?" Lin Nian took a bite of mashed potatoes and asked.
"The Lionhearts, the college's oldest organization, has a longer history and is more disciplined than the student union." Fingal, who couldn't find a sense of superiority, continued to deal with the pig's knuckle and said vaguely: "You can imagine that the former is Sparta and the latter is ancient Rome, but for now, the Romans who like to soak in champagne have the upper hand... Although the Spartans are the elite of the elite, the more elite they are, the more they are facing the aging of the population, and everyone is full of blood to slay the dragon, and the surface kung fu is down, and the new blood is attracted by the big baths and ** dance troupes in Rome. β
"No wonder Senior Brother joined the Student Council!" Lin Nian understood.
"There are actually a lot of benefits of joining the club, you can apply for the right to use the club in the school, now the Lionheart Club is stationed in the Norton Hall, the student union is in the Ample Hall, and the core outstanding members can have their own rooms in the Ample Hall, 24-hour floor heating and air conditioning, as well as a private chef and band, and hold a ball every three or five times The champagne lobster is available in unlimited quantities." Fingal gnawed on the pork knuckle as he spoke, as if it was an Australian lobster claw in his hand.
"This academy is really meritocracy." Lin Nian nodded in understanding.
"Yes, the outstanding students are now enjoying the freshly baked five-ripe Wellington steak and black truffle in the guild hall, and I can only be forced to buy a one-get-one sauce pork knuckle in the cafeteria." Fingal grabbed the pig's elbow and sighed: "I hate capitalism, I hate the meritocracy, in the early years I was also an elite student with lobster in one hand and champagne in the other. β
"You just hate yourself for not being the one who is the one who is profiting at the moment... But let's talk about clubs or something, I haven't passed the 3E exam yet. Lin Nian said: "The Student Council and the Lionheart Club feel very good, and if I had to choose, I would prefer the latter." β
"I can't see that the junior brother is an abstinence!" Fingal looked at Lin Nian seriously: "Most of the members of the Lionheart Society are a little ascetic, I dare to say that this person's Lionheart Club president is like this, and the next one must be the king of abstinence who is better than the blue." β
"I'm abstinent." Lin Nian took a sip of water: "I just don't like clubs with more activities, I'm busy with this and that every day, I heard in China that the courses in the university are not the most terrible, and all kinds of student activities are the most headaches!" β
"The Lionheart Club is still recruiting, you can try it after the 3E exam tomorrow, as far as you are concerned, you are also a rare 'A' grade, which can be regarded as a sought-after donkey meat in the eyes of the Student Council and the Lionheart Club." Fingal gnawed on the pig's knuckle and said, "Probably in the next few days, they will send someone to make a wish for you." β
"I hope the person who comes is a beautiful senior sister." Lin Nian also began to deal with his own pork knuckle.
"Senior brother, I just praised you for being a beautiful man in the abstinence department!" Fingal's face was full of hatred: "Senior brother, you are in love, the abstinence department has no future, you don't see the original ascetic beauty Master Xuanzang almost collapsed in the daughter country and left a seed... Joining the student union is the best choice! Caesar Gattuso, the most favorable contender for the next president of the student union, said that if he succeeds in succeeding the president, he will spend money to adjust all the benefits of the student union, and every member of the club will have a monthly allowance from the president in the future! β
"Senior brother, how do I feel that you have been saying good things about the student council since the beginning?" Lin Nian suddenly put down his knife and fork and looked at Fingal suspiciously.
Fingal's eyebrows twitched, his eyes returned to the pig's knuckle, and he said seriously: "Senior brother, I just seek truth from facts and give junior brother the pros and cons of popular science mountain." β
"It seems that the student council is really hungry... In order to dig people, you even used it, senior brother. β
"The price they give is too high, and the odds on the Night's Watch forum are unsatisfactory, senior brother, I have to find a way to open source, otherwise I can't afford to buy one get one free pork knuckle next time." Fingal said writhingly, a man of 1.8 meters and nearly 1.9 meters twisted his eyes.
"I'm quite expecting that the person who poached me is a beautiful senior sister." Lin Nian sighed.
"Then am I a beautiful senior sister?" The girl sat down beside Lin Nian with a dinner plate, and the scent of sandalwood rose as the long hair fell.
Lin Nian turned his head and looked a little surprised, "Senior Sister Mandy? β
Mandy smiled with a glass of hot milk: "Hello junior brother!" What are the results? β
"I'm sorry, Professor Manstein said that the file should be sealed and uploaded for review, and let me keep it secret until the results are out."
"It's okay, Senior Sister believes in your level." Mandy gave a thumbs up: "How is it, are you interested in joining our student union?" β
"Mandy-senpai is a member of the student union?" Lin Nian was a little surprised.
"Or else? Do you think she looks like an ascetic girl? Fingal tilted his head to look at Mandy, whose lips were foaming at the top and bottom.
"You're just abstinent, your whole family is abstinent, I also want to join the Lionheart Society, but people have to want me." Mandy gave Fingal a blank look: "What did Caesar Gattuso promise you?" β
"Free late-night snacks for the entire school year." Fingal's expression became serious: "Life-saving work, junior sister, don't rob me of work, right?" Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. β
"You decided to sell me for a school year's pork knuckle?" Lin Nian was a little depressed, feeling that he was looking at Fingal's pig's trotters with sauce on the roots.
"The supper at the Kassel Academy is divided into grades, and Chairman Caesar said that I can choose the stalls, and I will eat until I eat every night." Fingal looked down at the half-eaten pork knuckle and felt a little sad: "You also know my situation, junior brother, I don't forget to temporarily chase stars and sell signed T-shirts just to add a pork knuckle for lunch... Recently I noticed that I have lost weight. β
Lin Nian looked Fingal's burly figure up and down, but the school uniform couldn't cover the protruding little belly, this should be considered fat, right?
"Cheap, no ambition." Mandy shook her head: "In my eyes, the junior brother is at least worthy of the previous full-color lipstick suitcases launched by Chanel this year, the Gattuso family has a lot of energy in Europe, and a box of Chanel is not enough to give Dior and LancΓ΄me." β
"It's pork knuckle and lipstick with me." Lin Nian sighed: "Please go back, you two, I won't join the student union or the Lionheart Club for the time being, and I won't be able to make it a political achievement that others use to run for the chairman, and now I haven't even been scheduled for classes." β
"It's okay, as long as you don't fill in the membership form, it means that there is hope, senior sister, I'll take a pit first so that some despicable villains don't take the lead." When it comes to despicable villains, Mandy doesn't shy away from looking at Fingal and almost naming him.
"It's called a waterfront building." Fingal's face is not covered either.
As the two glared at each other, Lin Nian quietly left the table with his pork knuckle in his hand, sighing as he went, and when he felt that he would start to think about whether it was a wrong choice for him to enter the Kassel Academy, he decided to change places and enjoy his lunch.
