350 Headmaster's Afternoon Tea, Angers' Temptation
In the afternoon, in the principal's office.
Angers' desk was huge, and four people sitting side by side were not cramped.
The enticing aroma of tea rises from the gold-trimmed white porcelain tea set, and only the soft sound of knives and forks can be heard in the room.
"It seems that my dessert here is very much to your liking, and I was worried that my taste would be too weak and it would be unpopular!"
Looking at the students in front of him, Ange smiled faintly.
In front of him, Natsumi, who was sitting on the far left, and Eri Kao, who was on the right side of the center, brandished a knife and fork and ate cake in small bites.
Zero on the far right pushed the chocolate cake in front of him to Eri Yi, and Su Mo on the left side of the center was holding black tea and helplessly watching Xia Mi take a spoon and steal the dessert in front of him.
Hearing Ange's words, Natsumi swallowed the cake and praised with a waving knife and fork.
"Principal, do you know, the highest way we praise desserts there is 'this is not sweet', where did the principal find the pastry chef, can actually do this level, I feel that I won't gain weight after eating!"
Eri Yi on the side also nodded in agreement and replied obediently.
"This is delicious!"
It's rare for a girl not to like dessert, and the same is true for female dragons.
"A dessert that is not sweet is the highest compliment, it is very philosophical! Thank you for the compliment, if you don't mind, you can bring a little back from me next time, and the pastry chef will be happy to hear your compliment! ”
Ange nodded thoughtfully, then smiled.
"Yay! Thank you, Principal! ”
Natsumi immediately smiled.
I don't know if it's because of the inherent talent of a "young" girl, or because Miss Natsumi is too lively, it's hard to have a tense atmosphere in a place with her.
"Thank you, Headmaster!"
Eri also thanked her.
"This is the first time I've hosted four students at once, and being surrounded by so many young people makes me feel a lot younger!"
Ange smiled heartily, then looked at Eri.
"Eri-san's alchemy products are used? If you want to communicate with people, this is a good choice. ”
He keenly noticed that Erika didn't speak when she spoke, and the voice came directly into his head.
"Hmmm! It was a gift from Brother Su Mo! ”
At the mention of this, Eri immediately nodded happily.
"Su Mo?"
Ange glanced at Su Mo with some surprise, and then quickly reacted, Su Mo also had Su Enxi behind him, and it was normal to find this weapon with his background.
"That's really a precious gift, worth cherishing!"
"Hmmm! I'll cherish it! ”
Eri's little face was full of seriousness.
Seeing her expression, Ange secretly bowed his head and added a lot of confidence to Su Mo's school board plan.
"Speaking of which, although alchemy props alone can communicate with people, there is still a difference between normal communication. If necessary, Su Mo, you can help Eri apply to the equipment department to add an adapter to directly transcribe the snake's radio waves into sounds, which is closer to daily use. ”
Ange looked at Su Mo and made a suggestion.
The equipment department can create alchemy equipment, but it can't create equipment that contains the alchemy field.
But when it comes to combining science and alchemy, they are very good at it, and they only need to carry a small electronic device to easily capture the frequency of the snake and convert it into sound waves and release it.
"Well, thanks principal, I'll apply later."
Su Mo nodded.
Although it's not much of a problem to use snakes directly to communicate, it's naturally better to be able to speak in a voice, and it's better to not let her be too special when she comes to a school with so many strangers for the first time.
"You're welcome, just a small welcome gift to Her Royal Highness the princess of the Japanese branch."
Ange smiled and teased with a salutation in the school forum.
It seems that he also often peeps at the night watch discussion board.
After speaking, Ange spoke again and asked Su Mo.
"Just now the forum released a message, saying that you gave the weapon to Chu Zihang?"
"It's just that the thing is returned to its original owner, and since I heard the headmaster say that it is his father's relic, I can't use the spoils of war as my own."
Su Mo shook his head, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
I can't see at all that he threatened Chu Zihang just now, and he also fooled people into coolies.
Ange didn't doubt Su Mo's words, in his eyes, Su Mo was originally a good seedling of a dragon slayer, it was normal for this kind of genius boy to have such persistence, and it was also a good thing.
"In that case, do you need any alchemy weapons? If necessary, you can apply directly to the equipment department, and the school will give preferential treatment to students with meritorious service, which is the same for all three of you. ”
Ange swept his gaze over Su Mo, Xia Mi, and Zero, all three of them were students who had established no low merits, and with a little headmaster privilege, they all had the qualifications to be able to customize their own weapons.
Hearing Ange say this, Su Mo and Zero didn't react, but Xia Mi became interested.
"Alchemy weapons from the Armament Department? Is there that type of alchemy realm that carries high-risk spirits, such as Black Sun or something! ”
Her eyes sparkled.
In fact, she didn't really expect to have a domain weapon such as Black Sun, she just subconsciously asked for a price.
Although I know that human alchemy can't be compared with dragons, but since even Ange, a legend of dragon slaying, has taken the initiative to recommend it, it can't be those junk goods who don't even have domains or even characteristics, right?
Even if they don't cook again, they should have dug up some alchemy antiquities from digging graves all over the country for so many years, right?
“……”
Hearing that Xia Mi opened his mouth to be an alchemy product of the realm, casually speaking at the level of "Black Sun", the corners of Ange's eyes twitched slightly.
Why don't you say that there are alchemical weapons of "Judgment" and even "Rhine"?
If the secret party really had something of this level, it would have been taken out to kill the dragon king a long time ago, how could it be left until now!
"The items in the alchemy realm are too precious, and even if there is a collection, it is the highest level for research, and it is usually sealed in the deepest part of the ice cellar, and it cannot be called up as a student weapon."
Ange helplessly stalled his hands.
"The customization I am talking about can only customize the weapon specifications, and then build it with the best mass-produced alchemy materials, and I really can't provide those artifact-level weapons you said."
If the armament department was good enough to make these weapons, he would use a hammer knife.
"Huh, is that so? Forget it! ”
Hearing this, Xia Mi was immediately a little disappointed.
The best mass-produced alchemy material, isn't that just rubbish, not as good as her Death Scythe!
"I don't need to."
Zero face and expressionless speech.
"I don't need that either."
Su Mo also shook his head and said.
"Recently, I've been studying alchemy, and I'm going to try it myself, and as for the weapons that fit my hands, my sister can get them too, so don't worry."
These words are naturally intended to endorse the seven deadly sins.
"Learning alchemy?"
Hearing this, Ange was slightly stunned.
He remembered that in the mission report, Su Mo had indeed mentioned this.
However, the content related to alchemy was brushed aside, and it was not clearly written about its own level.
Ange didn't know that the alchemy realm props on Eri's body were made by Su Mo, and thought that Su Enxi had purchased them with his connections.
Therefore, when he heard Su Mo say that he was learning alchemy, he also thought that Su Mo was just used for practice, and the actual combat weapon still relied on his rich sister.
After all, a seventeen-year-old half-breed, even if he had been studying alchemy since birth, would not be able to reach the professional level, let alone a master.
The study of alchemy requires talent and mentorship, both of which are indispensable.
"If you want to learn alchemy, you can ask the night watchman in the forum for help."
Remembering what an old friend had said about wanting to accept the S-class as an apprentice, Ange took the initiative to suggest.
"The vice principal is quite accomplished in alchemy, and may be able to help you."
If Su Mo was not interested in alchemy, it would be fine, since he was interested, he was willing to let his old friend inherit the mantle.
Angers' words were of a ceremonial modesty.
In his opinion, Su Mo is a complete novice, and it is enough to have the famous Framel mentor to point him out.
But in fact, Su Mo's alchemist inherited from Lu Mingze, and if there was anything that even Lu Mingze couldn't help him, the night watchman couldn't be useful, so he also nodded politely.
"Got it, I'll contact him if I have any trouble! Thanks for the head-up! ”
"Hmm."
Ange, who had consciously fulfilled the Night's Watchman's request, nodded.
"Well, since you don't need this benefit, then I won't say much about it, let's get straight to the point! You should be wondering, why did I invite you to afternoon tea? ”
After the small talk, Ange got down to business.
"Curious indeed!"
After taking the last bite of the dessert in front of Su Mo, Xia Mi praised him very face-savingly.
"There are three things to do when I came to you this time."
Ange took a sip of black tea and said slowly.
"The first thing is about the tutor, you must already know the system of the Kassel Academy, and new students must be listed under the name of the tutor."
"I've heard of this rule, but no one seems to have approached us?"
Natsumi scratched her cheek, looking a little puzzled.
Although it has not officially started yet, Nuo Nuo in the same dormitory has been assigned a tutor, but there is no movement on her side.
The newcomers Su Mo and others are even more so.
"That's because you've already assigned a mentor, but because you haven't collected them yet, I didn't notify you."
Ange said with a smile.
Su Mo quickly realized the subtext of Ange's hint.
"The Headmaster means you're our mentor?"
"That's right!"
Ang nodded his head.
"Your status is quite special, and the files of individual people are also very confidential, so it is not suitable to hand them over to other mentors."
When he said this, Ange's eyes focused on Su Mo and Eriyi, and then joked to everyone.
"I feel that I am quite popular with the students, and the management of the students is also very lenient, as long as the grade point meets the standard, I can graduate. I don't think you're going to turn me down as a guru, are you? ”
"Of course not!"
The three of them shook their heads one after another, and Eri Yi slowed down and shook her head as well.
Ange and Lu Mingze have a special deal, in this case Ange is one of their backstage, who would refuse to have a backstage cover?
Seeing that he was not disliked by the young students, Ange nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Eri.
"That's how the mentor's thing was decided. The second thing is about the school manager. ”
When he said this, Ange's expression was much more serious.
Obviously, that's the real point.
"Regarding the candidacy of Eri Yi for the school board of directors, the school directors are currently understanding the situation, except for the Gattuso family's resolute refusal, the other school directors are still waiting."
While introducing the school board of trustees, Ange looked directly into Eri's eyes and asked.
"This time period is the window of time for the Eight Snakes to exert their influence and gain support through lobbying."
"Eri-san, as a representative of the Eight Snake Families, this is your chance to play a role, what are your plans?"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the office.
Ange didn't say a word, but his momentum rose, forcing him to look at Eri in front of him.
And in the face of this oppressive look.
Eri's reaction was to blink dumbly.
What is the reaction?
"Eri-san, as a representative of the Eight Snake Families, what are your plans?"
Ange could only ask again.
At this time, Eri Yi woke up like a dream and woke up.
"Huh? Is Grandpa the Headmaster talking about me? ”
"Yes!"
Raising his head, the love for his juniors that flashed in his pupils before was all gone, but instead there were sharp and unavoidable eyes.
"Do you have any ideas or plans?"
Hearing this, Eri Yi looked panicked, and immediately turned her eyes for help to Su Mo beside her, like a student who was distracted in class and didn't pay attention to the lecture was picked up by the teacher to answer a question, and pulled his sleeve.
"Brother Su Mo, what are my plans?"
She didn't understand Ange too much, and when she heard that long tirade, she was distracted, but she didn't expect it to be related to her.
Fortunately, Brother Su Mo is here, and the questions she can't answer only need to ask Su Mo.
After hearing Eriyi's question, Su Mo smiled slightly, shook her head and signaled her not to worry, just leave the question to him.
Then he looked at Ange.
"The Headmaster should have an answer by now, right?"
Hearing Su Mo's words, and seeing Eriyi's relieved performance, Ange dissipated his previous momentum and returned to his previous kind posture.
"Well, good answer!"
After nodding to Su Mo, he apologized to Eri.
"I'm sorry, Eri-san, the stakes are so high, I have to confirm it."
Letting the Snake Eight families join this game is not an easy decision to make, and it may directly change the whole situation.
Once the Eight Snake Families turn against the water again and unite with the Gattuso family, it is very likely that the Gattuso family will be saved from a desperate situation.
In that case, it will be too difficult to achieve the current record again.
Therefore, even if Su Mo did everything possible to ensure the reliability of Eri Yi in the report, with Ange's style, he still had to confirm it in person to feel at ease.
And obviously, Eriyi's performance just now made him very satisfied - not afraid of not being assertive, but afraid of being too assertive.
was so satisfied that he was even a little surprised, how did the eight families of Snake Qi, who betrayed the wind, get out of the mud and not be stained to raise such a good child?
This is the old saying that bad bamboo makes good bamboo shoots?
Although there is a suspicion of using this child, in the field of political struggle, mutual use is the norm, and being able to use each other is the basis for the establishment of alliances.
"It's okay."
Eri Yi looked left and right, since Brother Su Mo and Sister Zero were not angry, it shouldn't be a bad thing, she immediately shook her head obediently, and didn't take it to heart.
This level of questioning was nothing compared to the hostility and fear she had faced.
Seeing Eriyi's well-behaved and cute appearance, Ange understood why Su Mo trusted her so much, so he immediately nodded.
"Since Eri-san's side is fine, then leave the lobbying of other school directors to me! Anyway, I'm still a little thin on the board of trustees. ”
After determining that Erika was a trustworthy teammate and would not be a despicable backstab like the Japanese branch had previously shown, Ange took the initiative to take over the task of lobbying.
Come to think of it, if he is not satisfied with the representatives of the Eight Snake Families, he will definitely not do this, and the plans of the Eight Snake Families will inevitably come to naught.
