237. Heartbeat

"Game, begin!"

10,000 square meters, one-tenth of the area of Kassel's central square, with the referee's order, some uneven pedals and steps fell from the sky, turning the originally flat ground into irregular, the whole is like a parkour room.

The three teams are located in a triangular shape at the edge of the playing field.

Gu Bei...... No, the referee should be called now.

The red-cloaked referee sat high in the sky, his voice carried away by the wind and into everyone's ears.

"Now that we see that several teams on the field have all set off, they seem to have adopted the same strategy, and they all spray all the open space in front of them with friendly colors first, it seems that they all know the rules of this game very well, and grabbing enough territory is the key to this game! But is the game really as simple as it seems?"

The crowd in the audience cheered, some were shouting that Young Master Gattuso would win, some were shouting that Chu Zihang was handsome, some were p, and some people saw Nono and Susie, thinking about how to throw a hat on the head of the student president and acting president Lionheart......

Why is there BT everywhere?

Also, the guy over there who shouted "buy and leave" you roll over here, how do I look so familiar with you...... You're a paparazzi under Fingal!

The scene was chaotic for a while.

Manstein, who was sitting in the grand seat, crossed his arms and looked at the game in progress: "We should be on duty in the central control room now, not here to watch such a game of unknown meaning, and besides, the funding for this free day is provided by the Gattuso family, and it is difficult for me to explain to the Frost school director that your student has made the square like this."

"He has his own measure, if you can't do it, you can just hand him over to Frost, he will have his own way, but if you are sure to do this, but be careful of your tenured professorship, maybe it will be transferred to Guderian by Headmaster Angers."

Guderian, who was watching the bustle happily on the side, detected the key word and turned his head: "Tenured professor? Give it to me?"

The two ignored him very tacitly.

At this moment, another professor walked over.

He didn't look young, with gray hair and beard, and he looked like he was in his hundreds.

Like Ange, he also wears a crisp black suit.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, but in fact, because of the superb bloodline brought by bloodline, the appearance conditions of the mixed race are very good, which makes most of the clothes will be affected by the wearer, and the same clothes will be worn on two people will also be two feelings,

For example, Ange, no matter what kind of clothes, even if it is a solemn and solemn black suit for a funeral, he can only become a prodigal outfit to go to a drinking party.

After all, Ange is such a prodigal person.

And the professor in front of him is like a copy of Angers, and the black suit on him gives people a completely different taste from Angers.

Competent, sophisticated, and meticulous. ….

All similar adjectives can be applied to this gray-haired, middle-aged professor.

Mance Rundstedt, as many people in the academy would call him the shadow of the headmaster, because he was more of a qualified headmaster than the prodigal headmaster Ange and the unreliable vice-headmaster Night's Watch.

In fact, it is true that for the Kassel Academy, there are two main decision-makers, namely the rector and the vice president, but these two have never been careful, the former is not a big deal, basically traveling around the country, the reason is to search for traces of the revival of the dragon king, not to mention the latter.

So, these decision-making matters fell and were divided between two people.

One of them is Norma, the secretary of the academy with an invincible host and super computing power, who is responsible for some formulaic content, and the other is Professor Mance, who is responsible for some human affairs and diplomacy.

In Kassel, the principal did

, Professor Mance did it, the Chancellor didn't do it, Professor Mance did it.

He seems to be more worthy of the position of headmaster than the old man who travels the world every day and the cowboy who snuggles up in the clock tower to drink and watch movies.

Unfortunately, Kassel is a half-breed college.

Ange is nominally the strongest hybrids in the world, and in terms of hierarchy, he is also the only one who can be equal to the school board, and he is the headmaster so that Cassel will not be manipulated by the school board at will.

Although the Night's Watch does not have a very impressive record, the S-Class precepts alone are enough to say something, even if they lack status, but Flamel's surname can make up for everything.

As the vice-principal, no one will raise objections.

On the contrary, no matter how good Mance is and how well he manages the academy, once he does become the headmaster, it is time for Kassel to fall.

Mance himself is well aware of this.

Therefore, even though the people in the academy respected him, he did not think of taking Ange's position, and even a nominal position as assistant to the principal was rejected by him.

After all, none of these things were his concern.

Mance approached the professor's trio and greeted them, "Schneider, Manstein, Guderian, you three are still the same."

"Long time no see!"

Guderian rushed up and gave Mance a big hug, and the other two nodded in acknowledgment.

Mance was very respected at the Kassel Academy, and even professors of the same rank were very polite in front of him, and it was rare for Guderian to hug him, after all, not every professor was so off-line...... Although Mance himself has a more bold personality, he himself does not care about this formality.

Mance and Guderian embraced, and then took the opportunity to stand with the professor's trio.

"It's been a long time since it's been this lively."

Mance looked up at the playground, where several people cautiously explored as they sprayed paint on the surrounding floors and walls, and the audience was filled with energetic faces, shouting and laughing, and one couldn't help but start reminiscing about his teenage years. ….

In fact, Professor Mance was also a graduate of the Kassel Academy and was a student of their class who led the creation of Freedom Day.

Now that I think about it, it was a few decades ago.

Time flies, and now Mance is just a middle-aged man, and there are too many gray hairs on his head to count, so he is coming to catch up with Angers, who is more than a hundred years old.

He has worked hard for Kassel, and he has worked hard for half his life for the cause of dragon slaying, but he doesn't know how many and a half lives he has.

Manstein didn't answer, because many of the academy's activities were not approved, and he basically got in the way.

In fact, Manstein did not hate the lively activities among the students, on the contrary, he was very supportive and enjoyed the atmosphere, although as the chairman of the Discipline Committee, it was necessary for him to strictly adhere to his profession.

Schneider's expression softened a little, after Gu Bei's treatment, his body can now complete some difficult autonomous activities, and his lungs, which have been eroded to the point of being useless, are also showing a little signs of recovery.

Gu Bei said that as long as he treated a few more times, he could be completely cured, but the treatment cycle would be very long.

Compared with Schneider, he didn't have any ideas, there was one thing to say, there was hope for recovery, which Schneider couldn't think of before, but Gu Bei's appearance broke his cognition, and now his body has initially recovered to the level of an ordinary person, even if he doesn't use a machine, he can barely breathe normally.

Now he has no regrets, if he has to say it, he probably hasn't avenged the students who have been sleeping in the ice for a long time.

I've heard that someone has recently restarted the Greenland mission and submitted a mission report, so maybe he should check it out, and if he can, he can be the accompanying professor on the mission.

Of course, it's best to bring the baby student you just received, so that it can be considered foolproof.

As soon as he thought of Gu Bei and his mysterious and mysterious methods called alien arts, Schneider felt that the blood of revenge was boiling, and he really felt a little relieved.

Even though he didn't teach the student anything.

"With that guy here, Kassel will always be so lively."

Schneider said.

Manstein glanced at him and was noncommittal, in his opinion, that S-class freshman named Gu Bei was a complete loser, and he who was in charge of the college's finances naturally wouldn't give a good face.

However, Mance looked at Schneider in surprise, and in his impression, few people could get such a high evaluation from Schneider, which made him wonder who Schneider's "guy" was.

But Schneider and Manstein clearly didn't mean to say anything, Guderian ......

Forget it, ask him if it's better to guess for yourself.

However, he didn't have anything to ask Guderian, but Guderian had something to ask him, "Professor Mance, have you been on any mission since you were in the academy for so long?"

All of a sudden, the air stopped.

Although the students around them were still boiling, and although the referee's explanation was echoing in their ears, the four professors still fell into a speechless situation.

Guderian is just off the line, but that doesn't mean he can't see the form clearly, and in his experience, the situation should now be called - dignified. ….

The task of the Kassel Academy has always been a heavy topic.

Because these tasks are always dying.

Fight against all the murderous Deadpools, clean up the criminal hybrids, and fight the awakened dragons.

These innates, with the mission of every half-breed throughout their lives, will always bring death.

Students, Bosses, Colleagues, Friends......

How many people have been left in a mission forever?

Several people present had experienced this kind of thing to a greater or lesser extent, so they rarely talked about this issue, but they didn't expect Guderian to blurt it out directly.

Mance also knew that Guderian didn't mean it, so he was silent for a moment and grinned: "Actually, it's nothing, some time ago, Norma monitored strange heartbeat fluctuations from the Three Gorges of the Celestial Empire through satellites, so I took someone over to take a look at the situation."

As soon as these words came out, the air around them dropped another degree in an instant, and the three of them turned their eyes to the source of this cold air, von Schneider.

He sat there, but it was as if the whole person had sunk into a piece of icy seawater, and the biting cold penetrated into his heart and slowly penetrated into his lungs.

At the beginning, the team led by Schneider went to detect a heartbeat, and then stayed on the bottom of the sea forever.

The mission files of Operation Greenland's Ice Sea have always been sealed, this kind of thing is not a matter of confidentiality or not, and the sealed materials and plans are always something unseemly, so even if Mance is second only to the president and vice president in the academy, there is no way to know the secrets.

Schneider felt the colder and colder around him, until a voice crept in and broke his thoughts, "It's inevitable, half-blood's fate."

Schneider's vision shattered for a moment, and he looked to the place where the voice had come from, and the other three followed his gaze.

At some point, a man dressed as a cowboy sat next to them, dressed in a plaid shirt, a curly-brimmed hat, and a pair of cowboy boots, with spurs shining from the boots.

No one knew when this man had been sitting here, or if he had been sitting here since the beginning.

"Vice Principal!" The three professors hurriedly saluted, and even without mentioning the identity of the other vice-chancellor, the name of Nicholas Flamel alone was enough to make people respectful.

"Dad!?

Unlike the surprise of the three professors, Manstein's title seems to be more maverick and a little more unexpected.

Guderian seems to know only now that he is a half-generation

The father of the sub-friend, who was the legendary night watchman, was surprised: "What? Oh! The Night's Watch is your father!? How did I never know?"

With that, he looked at Manstein with an expression like a thick barrier.

Manstein didn't bother to brush up on his treasure, and smashed his fist directly on Guderian's skull.

Guderian, you can't get up again.

The Night's Watch didn't care about everyone's performance, and first said to Schneider in a reassuring tone: "Destroy the dragons, this is our mission, no one will die as deserved, but we can't escape, we can only accept or resist the damned fate, you can also resist fate now, but you should not be strong enough."

After speaking, he looked at Mance on the other side: "Welcome back, it seems that your survey of the Three Gorges is going well."

"Not bad......

Mance seemed a little hesitant, then made up his mind: "Actually, we detected the exact source of the heartbeat, but he is in an ancient bronze city, maybe we need to prepare for a second exploration."

After hearing this, the night watchman nodded, shook his head again, and then said without a head or a tail: "The flood season of the Three Gorges is coming."

Mance understood, and the night watchman said that the second survey would be scheduled for next year, after the flood season of the Three Gorges had passed.

He nodded and said no more.

Manstein, who had put Guderian in order, stood up: "You don't drink in the bell tower, how come you have time to come out?"

The Night's Watch looked at his son, his face stiffened for a moment, and then he said, "I see another path to alchemy, and that is a new future."

As he spoke, he looked at the fenced-off playground.

The cheers of the audience are still loud and loud, but the sound here seems to have been specially processed, only the audience can hear the referee's explanation, and the players can't even hear the cheers of the audience.

Chaplin couldn't help but admire the superb acting skills of these actors when he saw it.

Nono looked at Susie who appeared opposite him, and secretly sighed.

Fat oranges that can't get enough to eat
