8. Interview
"Morning, Senior Brother Chu." Xia Yan met Chu Zihang at the door of the Regent Hotel.
The Regent Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in the city, is a global chain and an authentic five-star hotel. Xia Yan had heard Lu Mingfei talk about this hotel before, because Lu Mingfei's uncle liked to drink tea and chat with friends in the lobby here, and asked the waiter to refill the water until the tea turned white.
"Early." Chu Zihang looked at Xia Yan for a while, and then praised him very embarrassedly: "I had a good rest last night." ”
Xia Yan scratched his head and said with a smile, "It's okay." ”
"Let's go inside." Chu Zihang looked up at the somewhat scorching sun in the sky and proposed to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan nodded thoughtfully, so the two walked into the lobby of the Lijing Hotel side by side.
A beautiful waiter immediately greeted him and asked politely, "May I ask if the two are Chu Zihang and Mr. Xia Yan?" ”
Chu Zihang replied with a small face: "Yes." ”
"Professor Gerd Rudolf Manstein has been waiting in the VIP room on the ninth floor for a long time, please come with me." The young lady said sweetly.
Xia Yan and Chu Zihang, under the guidance of the young lady, took the elevator to the door of the room.
The two looked at each other, and finally Xia Yan pushed open the door of the room.
Manstein, who was in the room, froze at the sight of the door that had been pushed open, and the two suave young men standing behind it.
Yes, he froze, because he was pacing back and forth in the room practicing his lines.
He already had a general understanding of the situation of these two students from the Executive Commissioner, and they were not afraid to face the powerful Deadpool, and were even able to fight back bravely and calmly, they were undoubtedly very good children, and they were also students who were very much needed in Kassel Academy.
Because of this, the rector was particularly concerned about this special admissions campaign, which made Manstein pay attention to it.
"Hello dear children." Manstein quietly put away his script with his left hand, and at the same time made an elegant gesture to the two of them with the hem of his right hand, meaning to take a seat.
Xia Yan and Chu Zihang also simply pulled out two chairs and sat on them.
"I don't think you have breakfast yet, do you?" Professor Manstein said thoughtfully: "Here are soy milk, fritters and fried eggs for you. ”
Xia Yan glanced at Chu Zihang and found that Chu Zihang also looked at a loss.
"Uh, don't you like it?" Professor Manstein said to himself: "I also ordered a Western-style breakfast, which should be served immediately." ”
"No, it's not that I don't like it." Xia Yan opened his mouth and said, "It's just that I have already eaten in the morning, and by the way, it's good to teach your Chinese." ”
Manstein smiled, then looked at Chu Zihang again. Under the old man's gaze, Chu Zihang silently used the Western-style fork next to him to fork the fritters and took a bite, then cut the fried eggs with a knife, and finally lifted the goblet and drank the soy milk inside.
Xia Yan couldn't help laughing.
The red-haired girl sitting next to Manstein also laughed.
Chu Zihang heard the laughter of the two, put down the knife and fork in his hand with a dark face, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and then sat down and looked at Professor Manstein.
"What's wrong? What are you laughing at? Professor Manstein asked, confused.
"It's nothing, Professor, it's just that you probably don't know much about Eastern eating habits." Xia Yan explained.
"How so?" Manstein tilted his head, looked at the red-haired girl beside him suspiciously, and confirmed, "Nono, you told me this. ”
Nuno smiled and said, "Professor, I think the food you prepared is correct, but did you forget to remind the hotel to change the Western-style tableware?" ”
Professor Manstein smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and took the opportunity to change the subject.
"Let's get straight to the point. After experiencing the events of that night, there must have been many doubts in the hearts of the two. "By joining the Kassel Academy, we will introduce you to the real world," Manstein said. ”
The real world?
Xia Yan and Chu Zihang were stunned.
They both felt that Professor Manstein's words had a familiar flavor. Morpheus in The Matrix seems to say that to Neo, right?
"I can't reveal too much information to you about this, as for the relevant benefits of the academy, you must already have a full understanding." Manstein added: "Gerd Rudolf Manstein, just call me Professor Manstein. As for why my Chinese is so good... Because Chinese is a compulsory subject in our college. Taking into account the native language of both of you, you can apply for exemption from taking foreign language courses in school to get full GPA. ”
"I am the Chairman of the Discipline Committee of the Kassel Academy and a part-time member of the faculty in charge of finances." Professor Manstein pointed to Nono beside him and said, "Chen Motong is my student, and he will be promoted to his sophomore year at the end of the summer vacation of the next semester, and he is also your senior sister." ”
Looking at the witty Manstein, Xia Yan and Chu Zihang both fell silent.
"So, have you thought about it?" Manstein suddenly changed his tone: "Once you have made your choice, you will say goodbye to your former life and there will be no turning back." ”
"Of course." Chu Zihang said without hesitation.
"Now that everyone is here, what more do you need to say, Professor." Xia Yan also said with a smile.
"In that case." Manstein nodded with satisfaction: "Nono, contact Norma." ”
Nono took out a touchscreen phone and started making calls.
Honk... Honk... honk
As three bells rang, an electronically synthesized female voice rang from her mobile phone: "I'm Norma, the secretary of the college, and I'm starting the admission process." ”
"Voiceprint verification on."
"Say accept it or don't accept it." Nono said to the two of them again, "The Gate of Kassel will not be opened twice to the same person. ”
"Accept." So the two said in unison.
"The voiceprint verification has passed, and I have obtained my authorization."
"Xia Yan, access to the information system of the Kassel Academy, student number A.I. 010507, grade A."
"Chu Zihang, access to the information system of the Kassel Academy, student number A.I.010517, grade A."
"I'm Norma, I'm happy to serve you, your ticket, passport and visa will be delivered within three weeks, Kassel Academy, welcome to join you."
"You are welcome to join you, my dear child." Manstein stepped forward and patted them on the shoulder.
"Nuo Nuo, I want you to take Chu Zihang and Xia Yan to the academy in the afternoon, the principal is eager to see them." Manstein said to Nono.
Nono nodded in understanding.
"Well, visas, passports, or something... Didn't Norma just say that it would be done in three weeks? Xia Yan asked puzzled.
Manstein smiled and said, "Ah, kid, we don't have to stick to the usual means of transport. ”
"I'm going to the Japanese branch in the afternoon to deal with some things, Nono, you have to take care of them. See you later, kids! Manstein packed up his things and hurried outside.
"Is there something urgent?" Xia Yan looked at Nuo Nuo and asked, "Why do you feel like a busy person has taken the time to see us?" ”
Nuno said helplessly: "There is indeed an emergency, and the urgency we deal with is the kind you can't imagine." ”
"Oh." Xia Yan responded to her indifferently: "Like Deadpool or something?" We just slaughtered one before. ”
Nuno snorted coldly, indicating that he did not take this kind of record seriously.
"Nono." Xia Yan shouted.
Nuo Nuo glared and said, "Are you polite kid, you want to call Senior Sister!" ”
"Oh." Xia Yan sighed again, and then asked, "Senior Sister Nuonuo, how are we going to leave in the afternoon?" ”
Nuno glared at him viciously, and then said angrily: "I think it's okay to just take this little handsome guy with the iceberg back." ”
"Okay then, then you can take Senior Brother Chu Zihang back." Xia Yan waved his hand at Chu Zihang, who wanted to stop talking, and walked towards the elevator.
Nuno was about to explode, she looked at the back left by Xia Yan for herself, and chased after her directly, using the grappling skills given to them by the instructor of the hand-to-hand combat class in the academy.
Looking at Xia Yan, who didn't react at all, Nuo Nuo was a little hesitant, but she still decided to teach this kid an impressive lesson.
Nuo Nuo pressed one hand against Xia Yan's shoulder, and with the other hand, he quickly grabbed his left arm and pulled it towards his back.
While this is a very basic grappling technique, it has proven to be surprisingly effective when used against unsuspecting people.
But to Nuo Nuo's surprise, although she had completed a complete set of grappling actions on Xia Yan, she still couldn't completely press the restrained Xia Yan to the ground.
She couldn't really pull Xia Yan's arm out of her head.
Nono felt a little powerless, because the power that the two of them were now exuding was obviously not of the same level. If you want the grappling skills to produce a perfect effect, at least the difference between the two sides in physique should not be too big, and it is not a joke to break through all the tricks.
"Senior Sister Nuonuo, you are still engaged in sneak attacks." Xia Yan finally turned against the guest and pushed back Nuo Nuo, who was originally slightly pressing himself. He made a reservation about where Nuno was standing, and then took advantage of the other party's inattention, and suddenly squatted down, and at the same time, the restrained arm also exerted force forward, and suddenly pulled Nuno to stumble.
Caught off guard, Xia Yan immediately swept towards her lower plate with her left leg, so Nuo Nuo, who was already unstable, fell directly to her side.
Xia Yan, who had completely regained control of her body, immediately grabbed her collar with the arm that had just been dragged by Nuo Nuo, and then brought her back with her clothes.
"Are you okay, senior sister?" Xia Yan looked at the silent Nuo Nuo and asked with great concern.
"I'm fine." Nuo Nuo narrowed his eyes and stared at Xia Yan and said, "Is there anything else with your hands?" ”
Xia Yan immediately let go of the hand holding Nuo Nuo's clothes, glanced at the spring light in the collar, and immediately smacked his lips with satisfaction.
