Chapter IV

Early on Thursday morning, the much-anticipated list of grouping for the philosophy exam finally came out.

Looking at the crowd of people in front of the group list on the playground in the distance, Ah Yuan and I stood leisurely in the classroom and ate the sumptuous breakfast specially prepared for 251 by Snow City.

One is a genius who can easily enter Group A without exams, and the other is a philosophical idiot who has already been designated as Group B by going through the back door.

was proud! But I saw Xue Chengyue suddenly walk into the classroom with a look of anger.

I didn't have time to clean up the mess on the table, so I had to shout at the empty table in a hurry: "Two hundred and fifty-one!

Who knew that Xue Chengyue didn't pay attention to the leftovers on the table, came over with a grim face, took my hand and ran out of the teaching building.

※※※

"Hey!hey?!what's wrong?" Confused, I staggered behind Syracuse Moon and suddenly found that she was actually pulling me towards the main building of Hearst where the principal worked?!

Xue Chengyue, who had not spoken, shouted indignantly: "I'm so angry! My grandfather has already passed a letter with the principal, and he actually let you be assigned to Group C! No, I'm going to go to that damn principal theory as the heir of the five major families!"

I was startled and stammered, "What...... What?Group C? You still want to theorize?!"

"That's right! I obviously said that it was from Group B!

"Snow ...... Syracuse month, I don't think it's good...... Anyway, it's immoral to rely on relationships to go through the back door, and since the principal has denied this practice, I don't think we should go to death in vain?"

Snow City Yue didn't hear my words, and was still complaining to himself: "Hmph, it's just a gesture, and it's not a formal exam, is it necessary for him to make such a clear distinction between public and private?!"

Amid the envious exclamations of the onlookers, I was dragged straight into the main building by Syracuse Moon along the way, but was stopped by Ena who was walking towards me.

"Huh, Xue Chengyue, Leng Yu, where are you in such a hurry? Aren't classes coming soon?"

Syracuse Yue was afraid that no one would know that I walked through the back door and roared: "What about the principal? I want to settle accounts with him! I obviously said that I would let Leng Yu enter Group B, why did it change again at the end of the day?!"

Ena looked at me in surprise and said, "What? So you want to go to Group B? Hey, you can go to Group A with your philosophical scores!"

"No, I'm not mistaken...... "Although I know that Ena will never lie to me, how could this kind of thing, which is like a comet hitting the earth, which can only happen once in millions of years, fall on my head luckily?"

The professor who marked the examination papers also said that it is rare for a student to have such profound insights! Although he is still very immature and too pessimistic and one-sided, it is still quite true and very much in line with the psychology of young people at the present stage. And I saw the results on your exam ticket with my own eyes!"

I'm completely confused. Since I could have gone to Group A, and Snow City's grandfather let me go to Group B by his connections, why did he assign me to Group C?!

Is it because they don't know whether to put me in Group A or Group B, so they simply go to Group C?!

"What, are you in Group C?" Ena also cried out in disbelief after learning the truth: "Impossible!

Hearing her say that, I calmed down.

It stands to reason that my professors and I shouldn't have any holidays, and even if someone squeezes me, I can at least go to Group B.

And there is no one else in the school leadership who has the power to do this kind of thing and knows me, except for the headmaster, who has been planning to grab money all day long......

"It seems that this was deliberately arranged by the principal......" I concluded.

※※※

As I expected, in front of Snow City Moon and Ena's questioning, the principal happily confessed his crime.

"Don't get excited, you look at how calm the parties are! Alas, it's not unreasonable for me to make this decision, no matter what, Leng Yu didn't enter our Hearst through formal examinations, so he naturally had to be treated differently in some school treatments. Moreover, I am doing this for his own good! Let him know more about the work at the grassroots level, so that he can see the essence of things more thoroughly in the future!"

Xue Chengyue retorted: "Principal, since you take care of him so much and let him go to Group C, why don't you take care of me with me......?

"These are two different things! If he wants to succeed, he needs to start a business, but unlike you, you have a harder job. What's more, you girls, how can you do that kind of heavy physical work? I heard your grandfather say that you also want to go to Group B? Hehe, Xue Chengyue, I agree with this spirit of yours! But a person should face up to his own value and put himself in a reasonable position, so that he can maximize his strength. With your ability, you should sit in a high-end office blowing air conditioners, drinking coffee, and creating great wealth for the society, so why waste your talents and learn from others to run business and do those extremely unpragmatic jobs?"

The cunning principal thought that a few words would be able to blow the snow city moon into the east, south, and west, but who knew that the snow city moon still did not give up: "If there is no hardship in starting a business, how can we cherish the fruits in hand? Principal, otherwise, this is the case! I give up my right in group A, let the first person in group B fill in group A, and at the same time let Yu be transferred to group B, how about it? I believe that even if I run the business and distribute flyers and introduce my business projects to customers, it will definitely not be easier than cleaning the toilet......

The headmaster interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "I'm sorry, it's impossible. The school's decision about grouping is not a joke that you can change when you say it. Snow City Yue, if you are willing to give up the position of Group A, I have no objection, but Leng Yu will never be transferred out of Group C, this is clearly written in the school constitution, students who enter Hirsch without normal channels must be reviewed by the school education committee to get the same treatment as other students. It's a pity that the school education committee didn't approve Leng Yu to get the same treatment, so even I don't have the right to transfer him. ”

Syracuse Moon was so angry that she wanted to go crazy, but there was nothing she could do, so she slammed the door and went out in hatred, leaving me and Ena to look at the principal coldly.

The principal said helplessly to me: "Alas, this girl is really becoming more and more lawless. Yu, I know what you're thinking, but don't doubt it, I asked you to go to Group C, but it's all for your sake, and of course it's not a reason for not being approved. ”

"Oh, for my sake?!Let me start by cleaning all the toilets in Hirst's Ley, and then go on to study toilet cleaning, and then set up a toilet cleaning company after graduation, and I am the only one in the whole company, from the chairman to the employees?"

The principal saw that I was really angry, and hurriedly smiled: "Hehe, where is it, how can I let you do such a boring thing?"

Ena interjected: "Headmaster, there are no rules on the difference in the treatment of students in the school at all. If you transfer Yu from Group C to Group A without authorization, I don't have any opinion, but why do you go against the grain? Let me say okay first, I won't help you this time, if you have any tasks next time, don't look for Ah Yu, find someone else! Otherwise, you can go out yourself......

The principal wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to Ena with a wry smile: "Ena, I can understand what others say, but how can you say that? You should know me! No matter how you say it, I can't harm Ah Yu! This time it was really for his sake that I specially assigned him to Group C......

"Oh? Then tell me, how did you think about him? Could it be that when he graduates, the recruitment company will come and see that his social investigation and evaluation reports are all cleaning toilets and garbage heaps, and they will introduce him to a position with an annual salary of tens of thousands of yuan? Ah Yu, he has no social background, let alone the legal heir of a millionaire, if you toss him like this again, do you also want him to stay in Hirst as a full-time agent for the rest of his life? Principal, it's too selfish for you to do this!"

The first time I saw Ena actually angry with the principal in such a loud voice, I was a little overwhelmed with fear. The headmaster looked at Ena in astonishment, and didn't say anything for a long time.

For a while, the temperature in the room almost dropped to freezing, and Ena was seen looking at the principal angrily, while the principal bowed his head with a red face and was silent.

After a long silence, the headmaster honestly took out a contract agreement from the drawer and handed it to Ena.

"Rich's personnel lease contract?" Ena looked at the contract in amazement: "St. Phyllis College? Headmaster, is there something tricky going on at Phyllis College? Why did you come to our Hearst to borrow someone?"

"This ...... I don't know. However, her conditions were strange, stating that the loan object had to be designated by her, and she also designated Yu who was not on the list of active members of the Richhol Clan at all. ”

"Huh, does she know Yu?"

She didn't name names, she just said that she hoped to be able to lend the master who had solved the virus incident last time and repelled the group of men in black. ”

Ena said nervously, "No, you must not lend Yu to her." Now Yu's identity is highly classified, and if it is exposed, I am afraid that he will be assassinated by the killers under Rakit!"

I also nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, principal, I will not agree to such a violation of human rights!"

The principal said: "Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with confidentiality, which is why I arranged for Yu to enter Group C." As we have already arranged in advance, next month's first-year social survey will be on the pros and cons of the Sisters of St. Felice's teaching reform program, and there will be a grand student networking event, because our two schools have a high reputation in the world, so there will be many high-ranking government officials and financial giants in attendance. Phyllis said she would honour her loan deal at that time. ”

Phyllis???Couldn't this be the nun school that Ah Bing used to go to......

Ena asked suspiciously, "Don't they allow boys to come and go at will?"

"Because Group A and Group B will be living with the students of the Sisters College, the boys of the two groups will go to investigate the management system of the insurance company of the Sisters of St. Felice's College, and will not be able to enter the school to participate in the sorority. The hospitality work and the logistics of the sorority are all in charge of Team C, and Yu can take that opportunity to meet with Phyllis and complete the task by the way. This time the loan time is only two hours, but the rent is 30,000 silver Luke, and the contract says that Yu can get a commission of 20% at that time, and there will be an additional bonus, since it is something that everyone is happy about, why should I refuse?"

"Headmaster, the rent for two hours is as high as 30,000 silver Luke! Don't you think this may be a very dangerous thing?!"

Not only did Ena feel incredible, but I was also shocked and inexplicable, when did I become so valuable?

"And I don't think this matter has anything to do with whether Yu is going to Group C or not. Even if only Group C can enter the Nunnery College, we can temporarily send students from Group A to help under the pretext of lack of manpower!"

The headmaster tugged at his long white beard, apparently impatient with Ena's continued chatter about my grouping.

"Feather ...... It's not too early, you can go to class first! I'll give you a reasonable explanation for the grouping. ”

I had no choice but to say yes and walk out of the office. It seems that the principal has something to say in front of me, so he has to use the excuse to break me away.

Sure enough, when I tiptoed to the office door again, I heard the principal say in a small voice, "...... Ena, why are you so stupid? Let Yu go to Group A? Do you know what kind of virtues all the boys who have entered Group A have become? I have been the principal for so many years, and I still don't know what the words are circulating among the students? The students who enter Group A will change girlfriends at an average rate every month until graduation, do you really want Yu to become that kind of person?"

"Yu, he's not that kind ......of person! Besides, even if Group A can't work, Group B can always do it! Why does it have to be Group C?"

"Group B? Hehe, think about it! What is that girl doing so enthusiastically when Ah Yue is idle? I watched her grow up, what the hell is she thinking in her heart, can I not know? There are few girls in Group B, and there is no competitiveness, just let her and Leng Yu cultivate a good relationship! Hmph, I can't let that old guy in Snow City Tuolie be satisfied!"

It dawned on me that it was no wonder that Syracuse Moon was so excited just now...... But......

"Huh, isn't Snow City Moon fond of Long Yu? Does she know Long Yu's identity?"

Hearing Ena ask the doubts in my heart, I couldn't help but get nervous, but I heard the principal say: "I don't know much about this, but I can be sure that the current goal of that month girl is definitely not Long Yu." In fact, it is not difficult to understand, her love for Long Yu may just be a temporary infatuation, just like idolatry, as long as it is put aside for a while, this enthusiasm will gradually cool, which often happens to girls of her age. Moreover, Long Yu has rarely appeared recently, and he is indifferent to her, no matter how hot her heart is, it will be extinguished! And even if our Leng Yu does not become a dragon feather, it will shine sooner or later if it is gold! Moreover, because of Ye Lingbing, he has been very close to Ah Yue, and it is inevitable that these two people will fall in love for a long time...... So, Ena, you must be vigilant! I don't want to see the tragedy of Yuelin happen to you again. ”

"Headmaster, why are you involved in the matter of Scarlet Moon Lin again? Who I like is my own business, but you don't need to worry about me. I know you've been worrying about what you didn't keep Roth back then, so you're trying to keep Leng Yu by all means. But aren't you too selfish to do this? Leng Yu has his own ambitions, and you have no right to interfere! And do you know that this will make him very aggrieved? Yu has almost lost his life several times for the birth and death of He's family, but he has not even been paid at all, and you are still treating him like this, I really can't even look at it!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in my heart. I didn't expect that Ena, who is usually obedient to the principal, would reprimand the principal so unceremoniously for me in private.

Facing Ena, who was rarely so excited, the principal, who was already at a loss, finally had to compromise: "Okay, okay! I will no longer insist on my position, and when Leng Yu's task next month is completed, I will transfer him back to Group A...... Oh no, it's still Group B! Since it's all like this, why don't you give that old guy Syracuse Takulie an explanation......"

※※※

That night, Ena summoned me from my dorm to the principal's office.

"It's so hard to make you run around so much trouble every time! You can call the communication room downstairs to inform me! Or, install an internal phone in our room, so that you don't have to toss back and forth every time you look for me." ”

"No, the communication room is a radio announcement, I'm afraid that others will know that the principal is looking for you! And the school rules do not allow the installation of internal telephones and Internet facilities for junior students, for fear that they will spend too much time on things other than studying. Besides, I want to see you with my own eyes, and if it were a phone call, it wouldn't feel as cordial as it does now......"

“......”

※※※

When I arrived at the principal's office, I thought that the principal would announce that my grouping plan had changed, but he handed over a fax with a solemn face and said, "Yu, something big has happened again......

The fax is a copy of the news section of a newspaper in a certain place, and the news reads:

"A serious explosion occurred on the 23rd floor of the Snow Tower Hotel in the heart of the city at 21:40 yesterday evening. According to the person in charge of the hotel, two hotel service personnel died on the spot, and the number of casualties was no less than 40. The person in charge also said that at the time of the explosion, President Mekael was hosting a banquet on the 24th floor of the hotel for more than a dozen presidents of the world alliances, and the center of the explosion was at their feet. After the accident, Maykael and the presidents of the leagues quickly evacuated the scene of the explosion and assigned several of their dragoons to assist the city's police in investigating the incident. It has been reported that the bombing was an act of revenge by the remnants of the Iron Free Army, but as of the time of writing, no group has claimed responsibility for the accident. ”

The date marked in the newspaper turned out to be today.

I looked at the principal in confusion, "It's a big deal, but ...... Does it have anything to do with me?"

"There is a relationship. The news has been blocked within the Senate, and the newspaper has been shut down for investigation. According to Rich's insider, it was a retaliatory act by Ratchet against Maykel. But this is just the beginning, and more powerful ones are yet to come. ”

"Revenge?, why did Rakit take revenge on Mekel?!" I asked, feigning surprise.

"Last time the dragon egg was robbed on Paradise Island, I think you should also know who instigated it. In that incident, instead of snatching the dragon egg, Rakette caused one of his silver emblem dragoons to disappear mysteriously. Ratchet was not a fool, he must have thought that this was a trap specially arranged by Mekel, and the disappearance of the silver-emblemmed dragoon should also be related to Mekel. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid Ratchet will have to kill at least one of Maykel's Silver Emblems before he rests. ”

"Oh...... So what are we going to do? Do we need to inform Makael to tell his Silver Dragoons to be careful?"

The principal glared at me, "Don't play stupid for me." Say, was this Silver Emblem Dragoon killed by you and Akira Xieno together?"

Hearing this, I almost fainted, glared at the principal and said, "What are you kidding! Principal, Xie Ye and I are both law-abiding first-class good citizens, but we definitely don't dare to kill people and set fires! Not to mention killing some kind of silver emblem dragoon!"

But Makale said that neither he nor his men had seen the robbery suspect, and that he did not have to lie about it. Come to think of it, the only people who can have this strength on Paradise Island that day are you and Xieno Ming......" Seeing that the grievances on my face didn't seem to be pretending, the principal changed his words again: "Since you didn't do it, could it be ......"

I immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it was definitely done secretly by Mekel, he didn't admit it himself, but he framed us, I didn't expect him to be this kind of person!"

The principal waved his hand and said, "It's not him, there is another person with this strength...... If you think about it, he is indeed the only one who can do such a bold thing and do it so cleanly. Hey, he quietly packed up a silver emblem, it seems that his skills have grown a lot......"

Ena asked curiously, "Who is so powerful?!"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the former Golden Emblem Dragoon Roth, who has retired for a long time, is the kind anonymous person you said. Yu, Ena, except for the three of us, we must not let the fourth person know about this matter, understand? We must make sure that he is safe. ”

Ena and I immediately nodded solemnly.

The principal continued: "Maybe it's not as simple as we think. Phyllis would never come to ask Leng Yu to help her for no reason, she must have learned the exact news of something, and she couldn't solve it on her own. Originally, I couldn't guess her purpose for borrowing you, but through this incident, I did guess a possibility. ”

"Could it be that Ratchet wants to take revenge on all the alliance presidents who participated in the Paradise Island's centennial celebration at that party?!" Ena couldn't help but exclaim.

"No, no matter how bold Rachette is, he will not dare to oppose the whole world. There was only one person he wanted to take revenge against, and this person, not only had a holiday with him, but also knew very well about Makael's plan to frame him. ”

Ye Lingjian?!My heart clenched violently. If Lachite wants to take revenge on Ye Lingjian, then wouldn't Ah Bing too......

"Headmaster, this man you're talking about...... Could it be President Ye Lingjian?!" The clever Ena also immediately thought of the answer.

"Yes. Because of the relationship between Ye Lingjian and Phyllis, Ye Lingjian will definitely be present at this sorority. However, the Sisterhood of St. Phyllis's College, which has never allowed people with bloody hands to step in, is forbidden to enter the dragoons, so during this time in the sorority, Ye Lingjian's life safety is equivalent to being handed over to Phyllis. But no matter how powerful she is, there is only one person after all, and as the principal of the school, it is impossible to take care of Ye Lingjian's safety at any time. Since Lachette had already decided to attack there, he would definitely send someone to drag Phyllis in advance when the time came, so ...... Only then did Phyllis think of letting Leng Yu, who was not a dragoon and had fought with Lachite's subordinates, protect the safety of Ye Lingjian. ”

I was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Headmaster, you're not guessing, but you already know the truth, right?!"

"No, so far, it's just my guess. Phyllis didn't reveal anything to me about the reason for your loan. ”

I couldn't help but admire my body, and after hearing him say this, I'm afraid that even Lachite, who might not have planned to assassinate Ye Lingjian, couldn't help but wonder if he had already made this plan.

"Yu, if all this is really according to my speculation, no matter what happens at that time, you can't leave Ye Lingjian's side, and you must ensure his personal safety, you know? I think that as long as Lachite doesn't send out the Silver Emblem Dragoon, you should be able to handle this mission. ”

"Well...... listening to the principal's tone, I really feel that he is simply more confident than me!

In a word, we must ensure the safety of Ye Lingjian at all costs. Otherwise, our Hearst energy system upgrade plan will probably be stranded indefinitely, which will be an unbearable loss for us Hatch and even the five major family alliances......

Yes, yes, that's a huge loss for you...... I don't know if I can bear the loss if I hang up there at that time?!

※※※

On the way back, Ena saw that I was silent with my head drooping and was quite depressed, so she took my hand and coaxed: "Yu, I have already told the principal about the grouping, and he has promised to divide you into group B after this mission is completed." ”

I've heard the news of "......", but I don't know if it will be fulfilled by then.

"Ahh When Ena said this, she couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, these rich people......! Of course, the headmaster is not that kind of person, and if he says it, it will count!"

"......, you're right.

In the eyes of those rich people who are mercenary, how much is the word reputation worth? Maybe tomorrow Ye Lingjian will change his hexagram again, saying that He's style of study is not correct, and the students are ganging up and not doing their jobs, so he wants his daughter to graduate early!

"Feather ...... I know that you have been a little dissatisfied with the headmaster lately, but I can assure you that the headmaster's intentions are definitely not bad! Although he is a little unsatisfactory in handling many things, there is nothing he can do! There are so many people in the world who harm others and benefit themselves, and deceive themselves, even if the headmaster is a saint, he will be affected to some extent. Let's take the president of the Government Education Foundation, who came to our school last time to conduct a survey. In the name of the government, he actually said that he hoped that Hearst could establish a professional school for the welfare of the disabled and orphans in Fingillia, and said that if he bought the land and related properties designated by the government, he would be exempted from geological survey fees and 50% of taxes, but when we sent Rich's people to investigate, we learned that the underground rock structure of the land was so loose that it could only be used as a garbage disposal site, and it was also the real estate in the name of the president's wife! What's even more odious is that the young master, who said that he was going to invest in scientific research projects in our school, not only asked us Hearst to give him a master's diploma, but also proposed to convert several playgrounds southeast of Hearst into several high-end nightclubs and casinos, and to create statues of their family members in front of the door! Moreover, that guy's hands and feet are not clean, and when he sees a good-looking girl, he will do his tricks, if the principal doesn't get angry and kick him out, those female masters in our institute will suffer. ”

I couldn't help but ask, "He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Ena chirped: "Hmph, he's fateful, and he hasn't had the courage to touch me yet." ”

Hearing her say this, I couldn't help but laugh: "So, that guy still suffers a little bit at your hands?"

"No, it's just that he stepped into the air and rolled down the stairs. When Ena saw me smiling, she couldn't help but smile, and took the opportunity to put her arm around me and said, "Hehe, hurry up, take me to your bedroom to see if the little dragon has gained weight recently......
