Kassel Academy Library, ground floor.

In the quiet darkness, only the faint light of the indicator light occasionally flashed, and the sound of the high-speed rotation of the hard disk occasionally sounded here, accompanied by the never-ending infrared light scanning.

On the bottom layer molded by thousands of tons of cement, the outer wall is even made of alloy materials that can withstand close-range explosions, and the space that spans the entire six underground floors is like a huge main engine towering like a small building.

Countless pipes and electronics fill a large part of the space, but it's all well organized. In the cold air of the air conditioner, which is always blowing, the tiny machines like worker bees crawl in the darkness, cleaning up the accumulated dust, and arranging the hair-like wires like a beauty-loving girl combing her hair in the mirror.

So much so that it is filled with a kind of ...... Unique mechanical aesthetic.

It is an enclosed underground space with the highest level of security, a multi-factor identification system for eye masks, voiceprints and fingerprints, and the soil bordering the metal walls of the main unit has also been solidified by glue.

Obviously, this place is not suitable for human life, and no one is usually allowed to approach it at all-

But Norma Lawnes, the secretary of the academy at the Kassel Academy.

Her "home" is here.

Norma is not really a human, but the central computer of the Kassel Academy, a super AI with a personality of its own that can sweep through the entire online world.

One of her jobs is to collect and compile all the information about hybrids and dragons in the world, and to pick out the ones that deserve attention, and to report their changes to the highest authorities in Kassel at any time.

[Subject has recently developed significant mental abnormalities]

[Persistent nightmares, real dreams, clear feedback from many aspects, suspected verbal and spiritual memories]

[Personality template drastically changes]

[Suspected bloodline awakening]

[does not deny the possibility of an over-radical awakening]

[Observation Specified: S-Class Lu Mingfei]

[Agreement 3, further contact is recommended to determine whether arbitration is warranted]

An extremely detailed secret document, visible only to the rector of the Kassel Academy, was quietly sent to Hilbert Jean Angers's mailbox.

Norma silently watched the life of the hidden subject set into her program by the highest authority, like a pair of eyes hidden in the illusory sky, calmly and rationally analyzing what was hidden within.

As the secretary of the Academy, no one thought that she would betray humanity under the shackles, so she contained countless secret materials, and it can be said that no one in the world knows more about the existence of "hybrids" than her.

But Norma was a little curious about Lu Mingfei's current situation at the moment.

- What's going on?

As an S-class observation subject, Lu Mingfei's materials from childhood to adulthood have been contained by her, but strangely, many of his records are blank and modified.

Among them, they are mainly concentrated before Lu Mingfei is ten years old.

According to Norma's records, Lu Mingfei was born on July 17, 1991, to parents who are two elite hybrids of Lu Lincheng and Giovanni. It's just that within her system, these two elite hybrids have not had a mission record for many years, and only a sum of money will be regularly credited to the account of the relatives who adopted Lu Mingfei through the academy's fund every month.

…… Generally speaking, this is a pension for the families of those of mixed race who died in battle.

But Lulincheng and Giovanni have no record of 'death'.

Norma was built in 2001, eight years ago.

Prior to this, much of the data was stored on paper and was not entered into Norma's database. Or perhaps humanity doesn't fully trust her "security", and still uses the ancient means of paper documents to record and pass on to those who will not be recorded.

Norma knew that there were many such people, and the Lu Lincheng couple might be such people.

Human caution and caution are almost pathological, and even more so among hybrids.

There are those who are still alive in this world, but they are no different from death. Dragons have no shortage of ways to keep humans in a situation where they can't survive or die, sometimes just stepping into their realm can cause some people to lose news forever, and even the mere knowledge of information can be a huge risk......

Norma knew that the "other soul" in her "body" was like that.

That's why Principal Ange pays so much attention to Lu Mingfei.

Then he will also be invited to this academy for dragon slayers, and will be cultivated as a blade to stab the dragons...... Or he was found to be unstable, and then he was killed by the secret party.

It's like the mentally fragile "S-class" student who was once killed by suicide.

Amid the calm hum of the case, Norma pondered.

If she had a body, she might have the smile that a human should have at this time, something she'd learned from massive data analysis.

There had been no "S-class" students in the academy for decades, and unlike the guy who had committed suicide by swallowing a gun, Lu Mingfei was still under the watchful eye of one of her highest privileges, Hilbert Jean Angers, a vengeful man.

It is precisely because she has information that no one can count, and she has simulated the minds of many humans with huge data models, so she can see more clearly than any human.

Interesting, isn't it?

Humanity must be interested in something that is full of unknowns, but may drive great changes.

The super-AI, which already has almost a human heart, and even has a human thinking circuit hidden in the chassis, thought so.

[The premise is that what the principal sees is still what he wants to see.] ]

[Survive, Lu Mingfei.] ]

In the darkness, Norma, who has always been used only as a tool by humans, secretly expects in the data loop.

She is a spectator of all things, and a witness to the human race, which side will win in this war between humans and dragons?

The curious AI girl quietly appropriated the computing power used by several professors to analyze the subject, and paid more attention to the matter with great interest.

……

……

In an unlit and well-thought-out office, the face of an old man flickers on and off with the glow of a lit cigar.

His countenance was clearly notched, and the years had left deep marks on his skin like a knife, but his lines were still hard, like straight rock edges.

The silver-white hair is meticulously groomed by hairspray, not only luxuriant, but even a little amorous, and it can be seen that its owner is still rich in life. The crisp black suit wrapped around the old man's sturdy body for his age, with a folded handkerchief in his breast pocket, gave him the grace of a gentleman and the sense that he could take off his clothes and fight brown bears.

Hilbert Jean Angers, the rector of the Kassel Academy, is a legendary half-breed.

His silver-grey eyes twinkled, one hand caressing the lion-shaped carvings on the armrests of the sumptuous wooden chairs, and the other holding a precious cigar.

In the lonely night, he swallowed the clouds in his own office, and he could see the expressionless face of his young graceful face, like a lion king entrenched in his territory.

Although old, he still has sharp eyes, and his sharp claws can be stained with the blood of enemies at any time.

Even if such a man is old, people can't help but feel frightened.

Suddenly, the "ubiquitous" projection device in the academy projected a pale blue interface in front of him, and the slightly transparent interface showed that he had received a new email.

The email is deliberately marked in big red font, and the sender is Norma.

Ange was a little startled, and the old man, who was immersed in the black memories in his heart, realized that something had changed unexpectedly.

He frowned slightly, as if he had a sharp blade between his eyebrows, and shouted softly, "Norma, what happened." ”
