292. School Board of Trustees

"Forget it when you see him, remember to tell him when you go back, if you really want to see me, keep the dog on a leash at the gate of your house, and don't bite anyone."

……

"The two of us were able to have a good chat here tonight because Frost was smart enough not to bring the dog to the academy."

……

"The Gattuso family is indeed a behemoth, but it is not worthy of my face."

……

The thin sunlight shone on the recording of the brown and black conference table, and the old man in a crisp suit stood by the window, his eyes closed and his arms folded.

Hidden under the sound of the waves, the recording played silently in the silent conference room, the white curtain on his side brushed the corner of his suit, slightly fluttering by the sea breeze, like a girl's skirt kissed by the wind.

This is the eastern port of Italy, and it is a wave of Tofino without winter.

The blue-green-blue-green water is crystal clear, the white sea foam hits the black reef, and on the other side of the sea there is the outline of a ferry sailing by, and behind the outline is the shadow of an island, and on the island is a mountain, and beyond the mountain is the sea, and overseas is a mountain.

The sea is green, the mountains are green, and the trees on the shore are green.

This harbor, which has no winter, is full of greenery all year round, and even the men and women in the conference room have scorched green faces.

Well, each has its own green method.

Portofino, a port town in Italy, has beautiful scenery, especially in the middle of summer, but the winter is not bad, anyway, the scenery here is not changing all year round, and there are fewer mediocre tourists in winter, although you may not see the fair skin and straight thighs of the hot ladies, but there is more of a leisurely and pleasant taste.

Until the 60s, Portofino was an unremarkable fishing village.

Until one day, a film investor who relied on Gattuso's gang swam to the land with a sharp eye and filmed a heartbreaking romance film.

Since then, the fishing village has been transformed into a holiday paradise, with high-end hotels and restaurants that have fascinated celebrities and photography enthusiasts alike.

And the Gattuso family, which brought economic revival to it, also had the absolute right to speak in the land, and every mayor would rush to the manor with a generous gift, sitting on the other end of the table like a child still wearing short socks.

The mayors cautiously and reluctantly offer the men behind the table great things for the next ten years, gifts and loyalty, and if they can kiss each other's hands, it means that the next ten years of the term will be worry-free.

For nearly a decade, the meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Kassel Academy have been held in this harbor town, where residents and visitors alike can always see one after another top-notch luxury cars at certain times, bathed in dazzling sunlight, heading towards the white fortress on the top of the hill.

The number of vehicles is also always constant, mostly five, and occasionally a six.

Sometimes you can even see mountain bikes under luxury cars, and people on mountain bikes snort up steep slopes, are overtaken by cars, and finally drive into the fortress without a sound.

It's December 22, 2008, and it's a harsh winter...... Although the Tofino will not be cold.

Obviously, this meeting is not part of the annual board meeting, but is urgently convened because of certain matters.

For this reason, the convener of the meeting even notified a certain old rascal of more than 100 years in advance, so that he would not disappear without a trace at the beginning of the holiday, as in the past.

】

The distinguished guests arrived in formal attire, walked into the room, which was dim no matter how bright the outside light was, and sat down at the brown and black conference table with brass bells.

Sitting on the throne is still the old man whose face remains the same, no matter how fast and long the years pass.

Hilbert Jean Angers.

The superlative, highest-class power, in the modern form of the directors of an academy, the directors of the Kassel Academy, a secret organization that has lasted for thousands of years, an all-half-blooded dragon slayer legion, and the "Dragonblood Secret Party", which has cultivated countless outstanding fighters and talents.

The Board of Trustees is the equivalent of the Council of Elders, and has the most exalted power of the secret party, and Ange is nominally only a co-elected speaker.

In addition to Ange, there were six other people in the room.

Sitting on either side of Angers was Frost Gattuso and another man who was almost unrecognizable, with a crimson handkerchief tucked into his jacket pocket, staring straight ahead without saying a word, the red sandalwood beads in his hand turning as if nothing could attract his attention.

The rest are one man and two women.

A man in his thirties and forties, dressed in a bright yellow jersey with a bicycle helmet of the same color just removed and resting on his right, gave the impression that he had come to participate in a bicycle race rather than a serious meeting, and it was clear that the orange mountain bike parked in the parking lot belonged to him.

On the right side of the man is a young girl who looks like a European noblewoman, who is obviously in her twenties but has painted thirty-year-old makeup, dignified and not like words, and the cloud-like silky clothes made of expensive cloth are especially suitable for her body.

Lisabeth Laurent.

Succeeding her father who died in a plane crash, her family was one of the largest syndicates in Europe.

Opposite Yin Lisabeth Laurent sat a girl who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a serious face with a little baby fat on her cheeks, and the butler standing behind her held her head high.

In addition to the butler, counting Ange, the six "bigwigs" of the secret party in the room make up the school board of Kassel.

In reality, however, there are seven seats on the board of directors in Kassel.

In the place where Kassel was founded, the system of the Council of Elders of the Secretaries was inherited and the system of seven trustees was established, so as to avoid the situation of a vote with a tie of votes and no decision could be made at the time of voting.

However, there is a special presence in the school board that has never attended any meetings, and is only responsible for providing a large amount of money to keep Kassel running.

It's like a person with so much money that there's nowhere to spend it...... Idealist.

Well, it's a big fool.

In school board meetings, there is really little talk about anything too serious.

As usual, the old man would first give a speech of appropriate length to summarize the great contributions made by the secret party to the cause of dragon slaying in the past, how many steps the half-breeds had taken towards the ultimate goal of ending the dragon era, and then greet and praise as usual, and finally start discussing the real "big things" in a clinking glass of Martini - a tea party closer to some kind of exchange of feelings.

But today's meeting did not have these tedious and cumbersome processes, and there was not even a cup of martini to help the celebration, but only a black rectangular voice recorder, quietly placed in the center of the conference table.

It plays a conversation between a senior secretary of a secret party family and an "ordinary" student of Kassel one night.

However, Patsy was not so stupid, or perhaps because of Gu Bei's words that made him think carefully, at least when he handed in the recording, he cut out the part that Gu Bei recruited.

But Rao is like this, and the rest of the content is enough to make the "superiors" of this group of school board members frown slightly.

Of course, it doesn't matter what the recording is about, what matters is who the recording comes from.

In this regard, Frost also thoughtfully asked Patsy to prepare written materials for the other school trustees.

The information explains in detail Gu Bei's identity, as well as the physical examination report that there is no bloodline in his body, and a series of evidence to prove that Gu Bei is not a mixed race.

"Ange, maybe you can explain why an ordinary person who is not of blood is not only recruited by you into Kassel, but also graded as "S".

Frost gently picked up the brass bell in front of him and shook it, a tradition of speaking at school board meetings.

Ange secretly scolded a little bastard in his heart and couldn't stop, while playing haha: "Maybe there is a problem with the testing instrument, Gu Bei's strength is obvious to all, how can this kind of person be an ordinary person." ”

This is pure nonsense.

Although under Frost's hint, the information provided by Patsy did not mention the relationship between Gu Bei and the alien and the alien arts, but none of the people present have yet to point out their own way, everyone knows that this "half-blood" with no bloodline is actually an alien, and he also openly teaches the alien art in Kassel.

However, it is not for nothing that Ange uses Gu Bei's strength as an excuse.

After all, what could everyone present do if they knew that Gu Bei was a stranger?

Frost didn't know, but chose to close his eyes and pretend not to know, and the information provided to others did not mention it.

For the strange arts, everyone present has their own thoughts, but they can't think of going together.

The new power system of Inhuman is not a type of bloodline that has been passed down in one line, but a treasure that can be branched out.

Let's take an analogy.

The inheritance of the bloodline belongs to a bamboo, one section is one section long, and occasionally two sections grow, but not too many.

The inheritance of anomalies and aliens is a bunch of grapes, and a bunch of vines can produce a lot of fruit.

As a family force, it is difficult for them to have no other ideas, just like the five great families of the Celestial Empire.

So, they don't take the initiative to lift the veil.

Several people present were all ghosts, but they just pretended to ignore them.

However, Ange's meaning is also clear.

Or, everyone pretends that there is no such thing as an alien, Gu Bei is strong, then he is a half-blood.

Or, just open the skylight and say something, but don't think about the little ninety-nine in your heart.

"Inhuman ......"

These two words are like some taboo, attracting everyone's attention, and people didn't expect that the one who chose to lift the veil was actually Yin Lisabeth, who had always been good friends with Ange.

Even Ange himself didn't think of it.

The inside of the school board has never been a harmonious group, everyone should be in a group, and Yin Lizabeth has always been on the same team as Ange, but now that she has taken the lead in exposing the existence of this alien, the meaning is also obvious: we can all share the cake, but we can't let someone eat alone.

However, this result is also predictable, after all, the existence of the alien is too special, and Ange has not told Yin Lisabeth about Gu Bei...... Or maybe he just deliberately concealed it.

This act is indeed suspected of betraying the alliance.

It's just that it's not a one-man meal, but once the school board is really taken over by Lake Ange, then when everyone has their own means, the power of the Laurent family may really not even be able to lick oil and water.

So it's better to poke it directly, start sitting in rows, and divide the fruit.

"Inhuman...... This is indeed a very serious question. ”

The old man with the beads finally spoke, and his gaze regained focus, like an immortal whose soul traveled "towards the North Sea at dusk" finally returned to his body.

"Although it is a brand-new force, there is a mature system that already has it, and there is still a considerable amount of power, and how to deal with the relationship with the Inhumans is something we need to think about."

was punctured by Yin Lizabeth, and the people present also put away the abacus in their hearts, at least, it can't be put on the bright side now.

Frost nodded: "Ange, you should know Gu Bei's identity and hand him over, this is for the secret party." ”

The bullshit believes it's for the secret party!

Ange leaned back in his chair: "I can't be the master of this, Gu Bei is an existence with an independent will, I can't tie him up." ”

"But you're the headmaster of Kassel!" Frost rang the brass bell loudly, "You always have the right to expel students!" ”

"I'm sorry, Gu Bei has passed the 3e test, and Norma has judged the test paper."

"That's the most ridiculous! A person who doesn't have dragon's blood has obtained an S-level 3e exam score, and if you want to say that you didn't do anything, then I'll eat this bell! ”

"Don't excite my old friend."

"I'm calm."

Frost said slowly: "Ange, the Kassel Academy does not belong to you, you are just a representative elected by us, more like a professional manager, no matter what you do, whether it is to miss the question to that ordinary person or to do something to Norma, you must know that you can have the current position partly depends on us, but you are now trying to push us away, and then occupy more things." ”

The atmosphere of the scene suddenly dropped to freezing point with Frost's words.

Show one’s true colors in the end!

The purpose of this Frost Gattuso to convene an emergency school board meeting has finally emerged.

The first purpose is to grab the possible benefits of the alien Gu Bei, but it doesn't matter whether this point is successful or not, the more important thing is the second point.

Gather everyone to attack Angers!

The old man with the beads stopped his movements, no longer maintaining the look of the wandering object, and the sixteen or seventeen-year-old doll-like delicate and lovely girl turned around and glanced at the butler who happened to look at her, and her little face stiffened.

The atmosphere on the long table froze instantly, and even the silent middle-aged man who had been staring at his bright yellow bicycle helmet reached out and touched the small brass bell in front of him.

But it wasn't anyone at the long table who broke the silence, but from the corner of the room.

"It turns out that the secret party is actually best at infighting?"

Everyone was shocked, and they jumped up from their positions, and seven pairs of golden children's holes looked into the corner of the conference room.

There, the young man crossed Erlang's legs, not caring at all that what he had broken into was actually a well-defended military fortress that a whole company could not take.

The elements in the room began to be disordered, and the powerful words and spirits interacted with each other, and a small area of elemental turbulence was born.

Being stared at by the world's top mixed-race people with golden boys, the boy was not in a hurry, and closed the "Secret Party Secrets" in his hand, which he had read a third of the time.

It seemed that the teenager had been sitting there since the meeting began.

When? How?

Nobody knows.

But the identity of the teenager was about to be revealed by everyone present.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, introduce yourself...... I don't think there's anything to introduce, but I already know my name...... Then I'll repeat it again......"

"Contemptible, Gu Bei."

"It's a stranger."
