The Flame of All Things Chapter 10 - Professor Shepherd
The feeling in the stands made Gu Xiaobei feel as if he was back at the school sports meeting a few years ago, but the shooting competition below was really boring, and he couldn't wait for Ji Jie to appear for a long time. So he patted his ass and got up to leave, because he was a contestant so he was free to leave. The senior brother sent a text message saying "Something, come quickly", and they made an appointment to meet at a café in the college.
There is also a shopping street in the college, with a green river on the left, a movie theater, a variety of beautifully decorated restaurants, cafes, and flower shops on the right. Gu Xiaobei has seen more than a dozen couples along the way.
On the bench sat young men and women whispering love words.
Someone just wanted to touch the scene and be in a daze for a while, and the coffee shop had already appeared in front of him. It's a bit incomprehensible.
"Senior brother can, take the first place when you first arrive. Ji Yuan sat there early, with a few desserts on the table.
Gu Xiaobei felt that the decoration here was very kind, the lights were all yellowed and soft, the walls and floors were wooden, which looked very retro, and there would be post-it notes strung with long ropes on the walls of each table. The wishes of the visitors are densely written on it, but most of the signatures are a bit non-mainstream.
In addition to the senior brother, there was also an old man with a gray beard sitting next to him, Gu Xiaobei had seen him for a long time. It's the shepherd professor who set up that meaningless interview when he entered City A. The professor's name is shepherd, is his real profession a shepherd? He felt that the professor was more like a Taoist priest in local mythology, so he almost changed into a Taoist robe and dusted in his hands.
"Hello, classmate. "Professor Shepherd is clearly more approachable than he seems
"Hello Professor. Gu Xiaobei was a little flattered
"Actually, I wanted to make an appointment with you, but I didn't have your contact information, and I just heard that you got the first place in the entrance test, so I asked you to come out remotely. ”
Senior Brother Ji didn't enter into the conversation, and ate and listened with great interest. Someone paid for this consumption, and the senior brother naturally let go of his hands and feet.
"Are you looking for me, what's the matter?"
"To be honest, I was very impressed with you from the time of the interview. If I'm not mistaken, you've been exposed to murder in the hotel incident in City A. ”
"Hmm. Gu Xiaobei nodded
"At that time, you didn't seem to have awakened your magic power, as far as the previous students are concerned, there are also people who have come into contact with murderers before awakening their magic power, but this is really the first time like you. ”
"They...... How's that?"
"They either died, or they refused to come to the academy in fright, and were administered amnestics by the academy. ”
"It's so miserable. Gu Xiaobei looked scared.
"There is another category, which is the family that has eliminated the murderer for generations, and the students in it are just like you, and they quickly accepted it. ”
"Actually, I was also scared, thinking that I would die if I didn't know when. Death is death, but you can't live in a mess, right?"
"Oh, do you think it's meaningful to fight those extremely dangerous murderers?" Professor Shepherd was surprised that the student had such a high level of awareness.
"That's not it, but I don't understand why, maybe I'm used to the life of a faded bird and don't want to live like that anymore."
"Fade out of the bird?" Professor Shepherd looked at Senior Brother Ji Yuanyuan, he didn't understand what the word meant. Is there a salty life?
"It's just doing nothing, it's very mediocre. The senior brother explained
"Oh, so you want to have more great pursuits in your life and make it more meaningful! To be honest, I didn't know that your recommendation level was actually A-grade until the original recommendation from the board of directors came down. ”
“A...... "Although Gu Xiaobei doesn't know what level A-level is, it is definitely very powerful, and B-level is very awesome in this academy, what is the exaggerated level of A-level.
The senior brother on the side was even more frightened.
This means that you are a cadet who has the potential to become an A-level executive. ”
"Potential!" Ji Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked at Gu Xiaobei incredulously after thinking about it.
"I didn't even know I had so much potential. ”
"At present, there are also A-level executives in the academy, but they have all taken over the crusade mission and gone out, otherwise you can arrange for you to meet with them. ”
"That should be a very powerful and powerful warrior, right?"
"In fact, the A-level assessed in the academy is only on the surface, and he has the ability to personally lead the completion of the A-level monster crusade battle, if it is a heads-up, it should not be. ”
Gu Xiaobei was dizzy when he heard it, what kind of culprit, what kind of crusade mission, those were too far for him. He's just a student who has just left high school and has been taking college courses for a few days.
"Are all the people here like this?
"Not really, but almost all of us have the blood of Wushan in our veins, and the racial contract will make us inherently incompatible with the male. It can be said that we are natural enemies of each other. ”
Oh my God, this is indeed a training base for agents who slay demons. Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, it was still a little difficult to accept when he heard this.
"By the way, since there is an A-class, then there should also be an S-class, right? ”
"Ahh Isn't the symbol of our academy mountains and seas? You should have seen the Classic of Mountains and Seas, right?"
Gu Xiaobei nodded
"Isn't there a lot of strange beasts described in the Book of Mountains and Seas? For example, Qiqi, Chaos, Hanqi, and Phoenix...... Something like that. ”
"This ...... Is the phoenix also a ferocious beast?"
Although he said this, Gu Xiaobei's heart set off a monstrous wave. He remembered very well that upstairs in the hotel in City A, the guy turned around and said, "Just call me Chaos." ”。 Could it be that the strange existence that inhabits his body is a super fierce beast Chaos? Could it be that he Gu Xiaobei, a law-abiding teenager with a kind personality, is a fierce beast? If that's the case, he can be regarded as a shame in the fierce beast world.
"Of course, all foreign beasts are fierce beasts, they are in a certain inch of soil in this world, and one day they will wake up, and then this world will face a huge crisis. Don't be misled by those traditional beliefs, the bloodline of the beasts is the same as that of the witch clan, and they will do things that benefit the beasts."
Just as Professor Shepherd was explaining, a middle-aged man with a briefcase and a pair of eyes rushed in from outside the door.
"Professor, this is the ...... Student?" the middle-aged man first glanced at Professor Shepherd, and then turned his head to look at Gu Xiaobei
Professor Shepherd nodded
"It's an honor to meet you, my name is Minagawa Ichi, I am a researcher in the Executive Department of the Operations Department of the Academy, and I work under Professor Shepherd" The middle-aged man named Minagawa Ichi stretched out his hand towards Gu Xiaobei, he looked very excited.
Gu Xiaobei didn't know why a middle-aged office man was so unreserved, but he still politely reached out and shook his hand.
"It's not quite like what you say in the file, I thought you would be that kind of strength fighter. Minagawa looked surprised
"Strength type?" Gu Xiaobei somewhat understood, the ability introduction on his file was a physical enhancement, according to these people's thoughts, generally people with this ability were those bodybuilders who were full of muscles.
"I've read your elective courses, Knife Technique and Knife Technique Refinement and Mechanical Life Theory, are you interested in knife art? Minagawa said excitedly
Gu Xiaobei could finally judge that this was a Japanese.
"It's okay, I'm not particularly interested. ”
"If I remember correctly, the instructor for this elective course was...... Land. Minagawa didn't continue.
"Elective courses are not available yet, so if you want to change them, you can go to the student center. Professor Shepherd said
"I heard that you participated in the B-level raid mission in City A?
When this sentence came out, the atmosphere changed significantly, Gu Xiaobei felt the sharp gaze of Professor Shepherd, and even the senior brother on the side stopped his knife and fork.
"Yes...... Target. ”
"How do you feel?" Minagawa Ichi's eyes looked tentative and expectant.
"I was so scared that I couldn't remember a lot of things at that time. ”
"How so? You're a student with great potential, do you remember how that ghost died?"
Gu Xiaobei didn't speak, just looked at him
"I'm sorry, I'm getting a little excited. Minagawa recovered quickly.
At this time, not only the two of them were thinking quickly in their minds, but the senior brother on the side was also thinking about some questions. He clearly remembered that at that moment, a white light bloomed around Gu Xiaobei's body, and the place where the light touched would be protected. This is different from the ability introduction on Gu Xiaobei's file, and a person's magic power cannot exceed two kinds, and the bloodline will not be able to withstand the ability of the two boundaries and collapse.
He felt that this junior brother was too mysterious, and when he was in the hotel in City A, he felt that the junior brother was definitely not the wilted look he saw in front of him. But Gu Xiaobei sometimes had the fear in his eyes, and the feeling of powerlessness made him feel that it was impossible to act.
But in the end, Ji Yuanyuan still didn't say anything about it, including Qiu Ming who saw it.
"Student, do you remember my questions during the entrance interview?" Professor Shepherd broke the silence.
"That 'justice' question?" Gu Xiaobei replied
"The question doesn't matter, in fact, the interview itself is my own one, and the college doesn't have this kind of interview every year when it recruits students. Most of the interviewees you see at the time are actually eliminated, and of course, the reason is not the interview. Every year, the academy recruits a subset of students from all over the world, and these students are the witch bloodlines that the academy has found through some means, the guys you are on the train that comes here. ”
"The whole world is helping us get rid of the culprit?"
"No, the murderers are distributed all over the world, and it is the whole world that helps them to get rid of the murderers. ”
"Isn't the Classic of Mountains and Seas our myths and legends?"
