From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 367 First Day of School: Chicago Under Attack!
The enjoyable summer vacation is drawing to a close, and the students are reluctant to leave.

Of course, I don't know how others feel, but for Lu Mingfei, it was a feeling of relief, finally able to escape from that hell called "Happy Summer Camp".

As everyone knows, the 'happy' summer vacation was anything but happy. He spent the entire summer on endless battles and killings, so much so that when he finally returned from the 'summer camp,' he was almost like a veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder, and he nearly snapped his cousin Lu Mingze's neck.

Yes, it's Lu Mingze, the darling of his uncle and aunt, not that mischievous little devil.

"Brother, how did the training go?"

Speak of the devil, and he appears. The little devil sat cross-legged on the desk by the window, propping his cheek with one hand, and asked with a smile.

"It was as tragic as it could get. If I had to describe it, only 'purgatory' could describe that world." Lu Mingfei pinched his brow hard, a deep fear showing on his face. He said softly as if recalling something, "The entire galaxy was engulfed in war. Humanity was struggling under the invasion of alien races. I have never seen such a desperate world."

"Oh?"

Lu Mingze seemed quite interested in despair, his eyes lighting up: "That sounds interesting."

"You'll understand once you've actually seen it."

Lu Mingfei glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "A future without any hope, billions of stars ignited by war, an eternal bloodbath and slaughter between the stars. I can only be thankful that our world is safe, at least there are no such evil beings. Such a future is best left undone."

Lu Mingze, struck by a sudden inspiration, asked, "Brother, do you think those worlds really exist?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei paused slightly and fell silent.

"Ha, it must be a dream." Lu Mingze shrugged, feeling embarrassed. "Hurry up and get ready. The plane tickets are ready. Don't be late for your first day of school, dear brother."

Lu Mingfei turned to look at the corner of the room, where two huge suitcases were piled up, filled with daily necessities.

"Your aunt packed it for you, thinking you might need it. She stuffed in a 12-hole cotton quilt, a pillow, a pressure cooker, and some clothes for your daily use." Lu Mingze shrugged and said, "Although I don't think it's necessary, I can't control what you do."

A touch of warmth appeared in Lu Mingfei's eyes, and he nodded, saying, "It's alright, it's fine this way."

As they left carrying two suitcases, the aunt was still grumbling, complaining that the professor in Kassel had poor taste and hadn't taken a liking to her precious Lu Mingze. But when she saw Lu Mingfei dragging his luggage out, she still went over to give him a few words of advice, such as to be careful while traveling abroad and that things were too chaotic in America.

Lu Mingfei smiled and agreed to everything, then got into his uncle's car and headed to the airport.

After getting off the plane, Lu Mingfei met Xia Mi.

"Hello, hello~ junior, I'm over here!" Xia Mi, with her high ponytail and flawless, almost monstrous beauty, was easily recognizable in the crowd. She was jumping up and down, waving enthusiastically at him, radiating youth and energy.

Lu Mingfei dragged his suitcase over, somewhat surprised: "Senior Xia Mi, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, I just finished summer vacation, you know~" Xia Mi grinned, revealing her sharp little fangs: "I heard you're starting school, so the professor assigned me the task of showing you around~"

She had very little luggage, just a backpack. She had a beautiful smile, with her eyes narrowed into crescents, her long eyelashes fluttering, and her slightly chubby face making her incredibly cute.

Unfortunately, after experiencing the hellish battlefield of the galaxy, Lu Mingfei's heart had long since turned as cold as if he had been killing fish in a supermarket for ten years.

What love and romance? They're all obstacles!

A real man doesn't care about these things!

"Excuse me, Senior."

Lu Ming nodded politely, but otherwise showed no other expression.

Xia Mi was a little frustrated. It wasn't that she thought she was very charming and needed everyone's attention, but Lu Mingfei's performance really made her feel frustrated.

Even Caesar, upon seeing her, would unconsciously reveal a hint of admiration in his eyes. But Lu Mingfei was different. His gaze was cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as hard and unyielding as a rock, conveying a feeling of complete disregard. "Senior, it's time to go."

Lu Mingfei spoke up to remind him.

"Okay, I understand."

Xia Mi realized what was happening and followed after them, pouting.

After weaving through the bustling crowds, the two took a taxi to Chicago's train station. According to the signs, they needed to wait for the 1000 express train, the only one that could take them to Kassel.

"Wait, where are you going?" Xia Mi asked loudly when she saw Lu Mingfei walking in the opposite direction.

"Go and fetch something."

Lu Mingfei stopped and thought for a moment before explaining, "It's a package; someone mailed it to me."

"express delivery?"

Xia Mi was somewhat confused, but she didn't ask any further questions.

At the locker in Chicago's train station, Lu Mingfei hesitated for a few seconds before entering the passwords according to his memory.

boom!
The largest cabinet at the bottom of the lockers popped open, revealing a black box about 1.4 meters long.

Lu Mingfei squatted down, grabbed the leather strap handle of the black box, and pulled it out of the locker. He found a note on it: A belated birthday gift. Happy 18th birthday, Adam.

He paused for a moment, then smiled, carefully folded the note in half, and put it into the inside pocket of his shirt.

"Wow, such a big package, what's inside?" Xia Mi had been waiting at the station for a long time, and when she saw Lu Mingfei carrying a huge black box, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Gift."

Lu Mingfei smiled, clearly pleased with the 'gift'.

"A gift from Mr. Adam to you?" Little devil Lu Mingze popped up at the most inopportune moment, staring at the black box with a face full of curiosity: "What's inside, brother?"

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to answer, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his sharp gaze swept across the crowd at the station before locking onto a seemingly furtive figure.

"Heh, some people are getting restless, brother." Lu Mingze noticed the figure half a second later and sneered.

But he was also somewhat surprised that he had only discovered the sneaky figure after Lu Mingfei.

"Uh, junior? Are you alright?" Xia Mi noticed Lu Mingfei's eyes suddenly turn cold, and then he turned to stare at the crowd. She couldn't help but feel a little strange: "What are you looking at?"

"Someone is targeting us."

Lu Mingfei's eyes were cold, but his expression remained calm.

"what?!"

Xia Mi was startled, her face turning deathly pale: "We're being watched? Who's watching us? This is a train station, there shouldn't be any robbers here!"

Sometimes, Lu Mingfei felt really helpless. He glanced at Xia Mi and said, "Senior, what I mean is, we've been targeted by guys who are suspected of being mixed-race. The law doesn't apply to those people."
