Mance is dancing his proudest cha cha dance in the front cabin, with Selma to the music Michael Jackson's "Beat it."

It wasn't at all a good piece of music for dancing Cha Cha Cha, but it couldn't help it, and the captain was so excited that he had turned the tide with his feat. Only the old song "Beat it" is enough to express the mood of this uncle at the moment, and he can only dance Cha Cha Cha.

Selma was still in her graduate internship and had a few credits left to complete, including Mance's class. She had already taken advantage of Mance's pleasure to get the promise of "guaranteed pass......

In fact, everyone would have wanted to stand up and sing and dance, if it weren't for the fact that they still had to try to stabilize the boat drifting in the restless waves.

"That's what I call the Great Reversal! A big last-minute reversal! Mance bragged to Selma with a cigar in his mouth, "It's like a three-pointer shot in the last second of the fourth quarter of basketball, like a full break in the third game of tennis!" ”

He glanced at the bell on the bulkhead, "My good students are coming back......"

He was suddenly stunned, his dance steps were sluggish, and he stumbled and almost fell, but he could only stabilize it by relying on the rudder he clung to.

Thelma was still dancing, and when she glanced at Mance's eyes, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

She didn't understand what was happening, but Mance's face suddenly turned pale.

To the sound of "Beat it," Mance slammed the door and rushed out, standing in the wind and rain, staring at the manic water.

"Captain?" Thelma chased after her, her voice shaking.

"The position of the escape is below the Bronze City, they can get out of the Bronze City, but they don't have time to rise to the surface," Mance's face twitched in pain, "We miscalculated! Their oxygen is not enough! ”

……

……

On deck, Mance smoked his cigar fiercely, stared at the water, and was silent for a few seconds. He looked down at his watch, and fourteen minutes had passed......

Suddenly, the gaze of the elite leader of the executive department softened, and he suddenly felt too tired and tired.

He turned to return to the pod, when he heard a muffled sound from the stern.

He took out his flashlight and shone it, and on the side of the lifeboat on the side of the boat, two pitch-black human heads floated, followed by two miserable white faces.

"Aki Hakatsu......" Mance couldn't believe his eyes.

His favorite students, Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki, don't know how to surpass the limits of human diving and successfully survive.

They were laboriously pushing a brass canister almost as tall as a man into the lifeboat, which didn't look very heavy in the water because of its buoyancy, but once out of the water it was completely different.

"Selma! Selma! Save! Mance shouted in surprise, then scolded, "Come up! Don't that jar! ”

Ye Sheng took Aki to grab the rope on the side of the lifeboat, and he used all his strength to send Aki up first, and then Selma arrived, and she and Professor Mance pulled Ye Sheng into the dinghy, along with the brass canister.

"Report to the captain, the Dragon King Norton bone flask recovery task has been successfully completed!" Ye Sheng stood crookedly, revealing a mouthful of brilliant white teeth, and said to Professor Mans.

"Good! Very good! Professor Mance hugged Ye Sheng and Aki tightly, tears streaming from his eyes, he almost thought that he had returned to the Greenland Ice Sea ten years ago, and the mission team was almost wiped out.

"Professor, after we return to the academy this time, we want to apply to withdraw from the executive department......" Aki said suddenly.

"I approve it! It's useless when the headmaster comes! With a wave of his hand, Mance said, "Moniach, prepare to sail back!" ”

……

……

There was a dead silence in the control room of the Kassel Academy Library, the signal between them and the Moniach was cut off, and the screen went black. About half an hour had passed, and the students were still sitting, and the professors were already up and rubbing their hands back and forth. Such a wait is unsettling.

Lu Mingfei walked in from the back door, Nuo Nuo tilted his head and looked at him for a while, and asked suspiciously, "Did you take a shower in the toilet?" ”

"Eh, senior sister, I said I fell and fell, do you believe it or not?" Lu Mingfei rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

Nono laughed, "I believe it!" ”

The screen suddenly lit up, and a serene old man's face appeared, his silver-white hair neatly combed, and the years had left deep marks on his face, turning his skin into a cracked ancient tree or a graceful rock, but the lines were still hard, and the silver-gray eyes were dancing with light.

His withered hands were crossed, his elbows rested on the armrests, a crisp black suit wrapped around his still erect frame, and a bright red rose in his breast pocket.

"Principal Angers is still so handsome!" Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart, "What a superb old man!" ”

There was a small commotion in the control room, with the students talking to each other and the professors with serious expressions on their faces.

"Headmaster Angers." Professor von Schneider raised his hand in greeting.

"I'm on the helicopter to the Moniach, and it's returned home safely. Thanks to your efforts, I declare the dissolution. The principal said with a smile.

After a moment of silence in the control room, it boiled, everyone raised their arms and cheered, the professors hugged each other excitedly, the students high-fived in the air, Caesar and Chu Zihang were obviously quite happy, but the two cold and hard faces were not very convenient.

But obviously, the students were divided into two groups, one around Caesar and one around Chu Zihang, and only a few freshmen stood with Qilan.

Lu Mingfei walked to Nuo Nuo's side, she didn't stand with anyone, leaned against the wall alone and chewed gum, looking out the window in a daze.

"What's the matter, I'm not good, I'll get the map out in one go." Lu Mingfei approached her stinky fart.

Nono glanced at him, "I was going to pat you on the head as a sign of encouragement, but your head is full of water, and I hate it." ”

Lu Mingfei shrugged, why does this girl love to move around his head? Does it feel like a big sister?

"Hey, Mingfei! I said, you're the best! Qilan suddenly realized something, strode over, shook hands with Lu Mingfei vigorously, and then hugged him vigorously.

Those freshmen were like Qilan's horses, and after being stunned for a while, they all came up and hugged Lu Mingfei vigorously, and Lu Mingfei was surrounded in an instant.

These people squeezed Lu Mingfei away from Nuo Nuo.

"Hey, don't disturb my time with my senior sister alone." Lu Mingfei complained in his heart.

"Disband!" Professor von Schneider said.

As the students evacuated in pairs, they all waved at Ange on the screen, who was clearly an idol in the academy.

Ange just smiled and didn't respond in any way.

And when Lu Mingfei was swept by the crowd and walked to the door, he heard a voice from behind, "Thank you, Lu Mingfei"

Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at the principal on the screen and raised his hand to him, "I want to tell you in advance that you have passed the 3E exam, and your score is the highest in ten years, and you have retained your "S" grade, I always have expectations for you, and I will award you the Principal Scholarship." ”

Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up, raised his arms high, and smiled at the principal.

The screen went black, the headmaster cut off the communications, and the control room fell silent again.

The professors and students exchanged glances of amazement, and after a few decades, a real "S" class appeared at the Kassel Academy, an ordinary student who looked like he was at home and noted his rank not only with his grades, but also with his extraordinary abilities.

"You can get the highest score even after sleeping for half a game, little brother, you are very good!" Nono passed him, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and went out.

The excited Professor Guderian came up and shook hands with him vigorously, and Lu Mingfei was shaken by him like an off-line puppet, "Chancellor's Scholarship!" This is the greatest honor of the Academy! I've always had confidence in you! ”

He walked out of the library surrounded by excited freshmen, Nono didn't know where he was going, Caesar was asking the followers of the student council if they wanted to stay up late to have a beer together, and Chu Zihang walked towards Odin Square alone.

The night at Kassel College is unusually quiet in late autumn, with knee-high headlights illuminating the cobbled paths, surrounded by Gothic buildings, and in the middle of which the Chancellor's favorite Bermuda lawn has been restored, swaying in the wind.

Lu Mingfei shook hands with the freshmen one by one with a spring breeze on his face, and Qilan kept lobbying him to join the freshman association, sincerely saying that he would give up the chairman's position to him.

Lu Mingfei waved his hand again and again to refuse, saying that I am used to being a casual person, and I can't take the position of chairman, and Qilan can only express great regret, and then leaves, looking like he wants to have a drink with the freshmen.

……

……

Lu Mingfei was walking on the way back to the dormitory, when a calm and beautiful voice came from behind him, "Lu Mingfei." ”

"Who?" Lu Mingfei turned around, and what he saw was Chu Zihang's pale golden pupils.

"Oh, it's Senior Brother, it almost scared me to death."

Chu Zihang glanced down at Lu Mingfei, showed a faint smile, and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, "I thank you very much, if you hadn't seen that map, our mission would never have been so smooth." ”

"I'm supposed to do it." Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "After all, I'm also a member of Kassel." ”

Chu Zihang still smiled and was very polite, but he didn't have that kind of polite estrangement, but was very close.

"You're not afraid to look at me, are you?" Chu Zihang said again, at this moment, the golden pupils were completely open to Lu Mingfei, revealing a strange beauty.

"I've been expecting someone to be unafraid of my golden pupils, and I want you to join the Lionhearts." Chu Zihang said slowly, "You will become the next president after me, I promise." ”

He looked directly into Lu Mingfei's eyes, his expression was very light, but he was unusually serious.

"If you can't come, senior brother, don't persuade me." Lu Mingfei shook his hand, "It's useless for anyone to say this, I'm very strong." ”

Chu Zihang blew out his eyes, patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and turned to leave.

Three gorges.

The black helicopter hovered in mid-air, and the Moniach was coming to a steady stop on the undulating water. The helicopter lowered the suspension ladder, and a slender black shadow descended the suspension ladder, holding a black umbrella to protect it from the rain. He stepped firmly on the deck, backed by the glare of the helicopter's light.

Mance, who was standing on the bow of the boat smoking a cigar, glanced up at the shadow and raised his hand to say hello, "Headmaster." ”

Ange walked up to Mance and asked, "Is the mission done?" ”

Mance let out a puff of smoke and pointed to the one-man tall brass can behind him, "Yes, there were no casualties, Headmaster." ”

Ange walked over, lifted the copper pot, stroked the fine lines on the burned surface, and whispered, "With my blood and bones, I offer the great Highness Nidhogg, who is the supreme, powerful, and virtuous being, who rules the whole world with his destiny - Norton." Inside is Norton, the dragon king Norton's bone vial. ”

He patted Mance on the shoulder, "Well done. ”

Mance was silent, his gaze blurred towards the distant water, "Headmaster, why have we been holding out for so many years?" ”

"Everybody has everybody's reasons, Mance, you know your reasons, don't ask me."

"But after I went through this mission, I realized that there are some things in this world...... More important than ideals. ”

Mance's gaze crossed Angers' broad shoulders and looked at Ye Sheng and Aki Aki, who were hugging each other not far away.

Ange pulled out the soon-to-blooming rose on his chest, which he had planted a few hours earlier at a dinner party in Istanbul, and he handed it to Mance.

"Perhaps." Ange said lightly.

Mance took the rose, took the last puff of the cigar, and pressed it against the side of the ship.
