Outside the window, the wind was blowing, the last light of the setting sun shone through the shutters on the wooden floor, and two squirrels ran happily above the shelves full of precious tea leaves, and jumped to the tea table, their big eyes purring, rubbing their calloused palms as if flattering.

"Cute little ones."

The old man in the suit was leisurely leaning back on his chair, and when he saw this, he also took out a can of peanut butter from the drawer, scooped a little on the lid with a spoon, and placed it in front of them.

Caesar looked at the old man with rather academic glasses on the other side and raised his eyebrows: "Headmaster, you are in a hurry to summon us back, just to watch squirrels eat peanut butter?" ”

"There must always be some lazy time in a rushed life, so that your nerves are not tense all the time." Ange filled the teapot with boiling water, stirred it a few times, soaked the tea leaves repeatedly, and then replaced it with warm water, and poured half a cup for each of the four cups in front of him:

"The three of you should be the first students to experience my afternoon tea this school year, which is quite an honorable thing, even some students who are almost full of grade points do not have this special experience. Come, Caesar, how about a taste of my tea-making skills, which you should have the most knowledge of. ”

"To tell you the truth, headmaster, this kind of thing my father's playboy is better at, and all I can do is taste how it tastes, the water is cold and the water is hot." Caesar's face was a little pale, and as soon as he woke up from a coma, he was dragged on a plane for a day, which was not pleasant for anyone.

Chu Zihang coughed twice, picked up the cup and took a sip, trying to suppress his vomiting, he was not very comfortable, he had not eaten food since he woke up, not that he was not given food, but he was dizzy all the time, and he vomited whatever he ate.

Now this cup of tea can be regarded as the most reassuring thing he has come into contact with in two days.

"I'm sorry to call you back in such a hurry, one reason is that I'm more worried about Jiu De Aki's body, she has made a lot of contributions to the academy in recent years, if something goes wrong because the rescue is not timely, I will blame myself for the rest of my life, for her, the academy can provide the best medical conditions." Ange seemed to see that the state of the two was not too good, and laughed awkwardly:

"One more thing, I want to know, how are you doing with the task I gave you. It's about a lot of things, and we can't talk about it on the phone, we have to say it face-to-face. ”

The three of them looked at each other a few times, and Lu Mingfei pulled out two small knives from behind his back and put them on the table.

"Chu Zihang and I have been by Ye Sheng and Jiude Yaji's side, Lu Mingfei found what the principal said you said, but it has become like this." Caesar, as the leader of the group, reported.

"Has it been condensed into shape?" Ange muttered to himself, looked at Lu Mingfei twice, picked up another handle, and flicked it lightly with his fingers.

The sound of the dagger was like the ringing of a temple bell in the morning, heavy but clear, echoing throughout the room before it dissipated.

Turning sideways, the blade reflected sunlight onto one side of the wall, the slit of light tiny but steady, allowing Ange to bounce however he went.

"It's a good weapon." Ange nodded and pushed the weapon back to Lu Mingfei.

"This is ......." Lu Mingfei was puzzled, although he knew that Ange would not scold him, but he did not have the slightest intention of hiding this weapon in private, after all, this is too eye-catching, and it seems that it has some important significance to Ange, and it is the best choice to keep it with him first.

When he became a true S-class and shined, he believed that Ange would return the weapon to him.

"Since it has confessed you as Lord, let it be placed with you. Besides, Caesar and Chu Zihang both have their own weapons, and I don't think it's good for you to be empty-handed, even if it's an additional reward for this mission. Ange sighed:

"I read the mission report, and I also asked Ye Sheng about the details, you performed quite well in this mission, they might not be able to come out without you."

Lu Mingfei was skeptical, and always felt that this old fox had something else in mind, but he didn't want to say much, so he could only take the knife.

At the moment when the sword and scabbard coincided, Ange spoke again with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "However, such a good weapon can't just be given to you for nothing. ”

“？” Headmaster, have you ever done blackmail before, why are you so skilled? Lu Mingfei wanted to complain.

"Don't look at me with that resentment." Ange looked innocent: "Now the executive department has a vague tendency to strike, although this is also to blame me, there are too many tasks sent in the first half of the year, but now is a special period after all, I believe you also know, the dragon king is about to wake up in groups, those guys are ready to move, our academy must be busy." ”

"So, Headmaster, do you want me to go as a representative to appease them?" Lu Mingfei immediately refused: "The education I have experienced since I was a child has taught me that you should never be a lackey of the capitalists for a little profit, because the proletariat will eventually overturn everything and stick the red banner in the heart of all evils of capitalism." ”

Finally, he also said bitterly: "Originally, I thought that you were a good person, but now it seems that I am sorry, I have to join the team of the workers of the executive department. ”

"You're wrong, even if I send someone to recruit An, I have to let someone like Caesar who has a leadership temperament at a glance." Ange was still smiling: "I know that the children in the executive department are tired, but there are still many tasks, so ......"

"Headmaster, do you want to put him in the executive department as well?" Chu Zihang understood what Ange meant.

The Kassel Academy's curriculum is generally at the end of the junior or senior year, and there are often practical tasks such as hunting and killing servants with the executive department, and before that, the practical tasks are generally to maintain the reputation of the school, help the community, help the zoo and other chores, the annual war practice class is the only course that allows students to experience the cruelty of the battlefield, but it is only that, they are only responsible for investigation and surveillance, and never go into battle.

The latter only plays an auxiliary role and can only be registered in the executive department after graduation, while the former is already a commissioner who can be dispatched as a task and has its own number in the executive department.

For ordinary students, it is not a good thing to be in the executive department early, although they are mixed-race, but before they have experienced the systematic training of the academy, their combat effectiveness has not reached the extreme.

In the history of the academy, all those who were still in the status of students were the elites engraved in the annals of the academy.

Looking at the whole school, there is only one student named in the executive department now, the current president of the Lionheart Club, Chu Zihang.

"Alas, it's really an eventful time, and now there are too many cases piled up by the executive department, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take a vacation at the end of this year until I start to solve them. Besides, we urgently need some high-end combat power now, and you can't let me, an old man in his 130s, go on a mission and fight that group of Deadpools who are nearly 100 years younger than me. Ange shook his head:

"You and Caesar's bodies still need to recuperate for a while, in the current A-level of the students, Dramond and Lancelot have to prepare for club tasks, those two freshmen have no experience at all, Susie and Chen Motong were called by the vice principal to assist, think about it, only Lu Mingfei is left."

"Headmaster, I can do it." Caesar said.

"You need to recharge." Ange stared at those eyes that were like the deep sea: "Your body is still very weak now, and according to the vice principal's inference, this state will last for more than a week. ”

"Why are we like this?" Chu Zihang's voice was a little weak: "It's like running for several days and nights in a row, my limbs are weak, and my head is a little dizzy." ”

"Long Wei." Two words came out of Ange's mouth.

"Long Wei?" Caesar's pupils suddenly constricted, and he looked at his palm: "Am I afraid?" ”

"It's not fear, it's that it draws the energy in your body, probably like what the Chinese call vitality." Ange denied: "It will take a long time for you to fully recover, about a month, don't exercise vigorously, otherwise you will leave sequelae." ”

"Is it the boy I saw before I fell unconscious?" Due to Chu Zihang's weak body, the golden pupils that never went out have now become dim, and he looks no different from an ordinary teenager.

"Then why is Lu Mingfei okay?" Unconvinced, Caesar asked again.

"Because he's protected by this weapon, I don't know why, but that's probably it." Ange smiled at Caesar, as if this would prove how sincere he was, Lu Mingfei took in all this, and secretly complained about this old fox in his heart.

"Because of the bloodline?" Caesar looked at Lu Mingfei and looked up and down.

"Probably, because his parents are both S-class members of our academy, and excellent bloodline is one thing." Ange paused: "But, Caesar, you must know that bloodline is never something that can determine victory or defeat, more important than it is will.

Do you believe that an A-class hybrid can hold off for fifty minutes with just a knife when facing a complete dragon king? ”

"With just a knife?"

"Yes, with only a knife, no philosopher's stone, no technology. But I'm not entirely accurate, when he was first discovered by us, his bloodline level was barely to A-level, and in terms of blood, he was not as good as you, and then he carried out quite high-risk missions again and again, and then he was promoted to S-class member, you just need to know that it was a rather stubborn guy. ”

Ange was telling the story quietly, and the expression on his face was a little heavy: "The story happened a long time ago, it should have been a long time, when I was still studying in Cambridge, and I had just joined the Lionheart, and I was attacked by the Dragon King.

At that time, the man leaned on a knife and stood for fifty minutes under the full force of the dragon king's attack, and dragged him to Menek. The Kassel guy is back. ”

"Is he dead?"

"Of course, but no one doesn't admit that he's a great dragon slayer." Ange smiled: "His descendants have also become dragon slayers in the secret party, but what I really want to say is that in terms of dragon slaying, you have enough talent, and there is no point in going up the bloodline, no matter what, you can't cross the critical blood limit, what can really determine your reach the height is what kind of will you have."

The same is true for our S-level evaluation, except for children with excellent blood like Lu Mingfei, the best is only A-level, and after that, the grade will be evaluated according to their perseverance and hard work. Many S-level executives in the secret party started from A-level or even B+-level.

It's a bit too much, so say, understand? Caesar. Gattuso, man has to know that he cannot be perfect, so he needs to make up for it with something else, and it is precisely this that a leader needs to do in order to be called a leader. ”

"I kind of understand what you mean, Headmaster." Caesar stood up and bowed deeply to the old man.

"Chu Zihang, you too, don't chase those ethereal powers too much, those things are far less important than tempering your will, understand?"

"Taught, thanks to the principal." Chu Zihang also got up.

"Two little ones, come with me, and I'll check on you again." The drunken vice-principal pushed open the door and clapped his hands.

"Go ahead." Ange smiled and nodded to the two.

Seeing Chu Zihang and Caesar leaving, and being alone with the principal again, Lu Mingfei remembered the scene when he was calculated to death by Ange, and the fear of being dominated by the old fox struck again.

Can't run away from calculations? Lu Mingfei got up and smiled: "Principal, I still have something to ......."

"You look a little weak-hearted." Ange shrugged his shoulders: "Sit down and have a cup of tea and rest assured, I checked that you don't have a girlfriend or anything, so don't be so anxious." ”

"......" Lu Mingfei sat down obediently.

"You've been on your own during this mission, but you've had minimal information about what you've seen." Ange took out the file bag, looked at it a few times, and then stared at Lu Mingfei's eyes: "According to Article 4 of Chapter 15 of the School Regulations of the Kassel Academy, the people involved in the operation are not allowed to exchange mission details with each other, and when the operation is completed, everything is sealed in the file, so those things you don't want to tell me ...... Don't tell anyone either, got it? ”

Lu Mingfei was stunned...... He'd seen it before, and he'd missed it.

He put on a look of frustration: "Actually, headmaster, there is one thing I have always wanted to communicate with people. ”

Ange was also stunned for a moment, and nodded: "Say." ”

"Actually, I saw Konstantin, it was a little boy, who said that he was devoured by the dragon king, and gave me this little sword, just begging me to be able to kill Konstantin and free him." Lu Mingfei's acting skills at this time reached the peak, as if he was telling the secret hidden in his heart for a long time, he exhaled and covered his head: "But I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it." ”

"Konstantin's humanity?" Ange's rough white eyebrows twitched slightly, what Lu Mingfei said was a little too important, and even subverted some common sense about dragons, he knew for the first time that the dragon king would obtain a body by devouring human bodies.

"Yes, Headmaster, on the way back I have been struggling whether I can do it, and if I can't, whether I will live up to his expectations, this feeling is really terrible. He believed in me so much......"

"You can do it." Ange's voice was final.

Lu Mingfei raised his head and saw the old man's smiling face:

"Your bloodline is extremely good, no less than my old friend, he can kill the Dragon King, and you can too." Ange encouraged.

"Thank you, Principal, but now I don't feel like it's enough on my own." Lu Mingfei hung his head.

"Actual combat is the best way to improve your strength, I have seen your skills, it is really good, if you temper it in actual combat for a period of time, maybe you can face the dragon king."

"Since the principal said so, then I'll go to the executive department." Lu Mingfei's eyes are firm, the play has been played to the end, and he is now going to play the role of an inferiority teenager who is saved by Ange.

"Very good, report after a while, I'll send you a message, looking forward to your performance."

Seeing the slender figure walk out of the door, Ange picked up the teacup, looked confused, and gently smacked his lips.

"Does the little one trust me so much?"
