A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 87 No matter how good your acting is, don't lie to the audience.

At the top of the Kassel church bell tower, Fingel put away his binoculars, picked up his notebook, and began to write: "Caesar, Chu Zihang is normal."

"Chen Motong shows no abnormalities."

"Susie has amazing observation skills. She entered the square in advance and raised her shield to block the student council bullets for Chu Zihang. She seems to have some kind of ability to foresee the future and sense people's hearts."

Having finished writing this, Fingel put away his pen and paper and quickly went downstairs.

Having spent eight years at the academy, Fingel had lost all interest in a single day of freedom.

I didn't spend today in the library; I was just curious whether there were any members of the old church hiding inside the college.

If such a thing existed, what extraordinary ability would it be?

Fingel, drawing parallels with others, believed that the old church was very likely, and invited the other junior students to join.

So Fingel quietly came to the highest point to observe the battle between the Lionheart Society and the Student Council. After Caesar's defeat, the Lionheart Society gained a complete advantage and swept through the Student Council in one fell swoop.

Almost everyone performed normally, except for Susie's sudden rush in with her shield, which made Fingel think she might be a fellow believer.

"I'll have EVA check with me later to see if Susie will be going to the Three Gorges soon."

Mr. Fool has sent a message instructing them to arrive at the Three Gorges in two days to participate in a mission. At that time, they might be able to discover Susie's identity.

As Fingel walked out of the church, he pursed his lips. What was Lu Mingfei doing here?

Lu Mingfei also showed surprise: "Senior Brother Fingel!"

Great, here comes the big shot!

The little white rabbit saw the big radish and trotted over excitedly: "Senior brother, the academy is really going all out!"

"At first, I thought it was a gunfight, but the professor told me that it was a day of freedom and there were harmless Friga bullets. I really learned something new."

Fingel wondered to himself whether he was being tasked by the principal to monitor Lu Mingfei, or whether Lu Mingfei was monitoring him.
However, when receiving orientation on the train, Fingel witnessed Lu Mingfei fall into a coma, and after arriving at school, he saw Lu Mingfei being carried into the school clinic.

Logically speaking, such a hybrid should not be able to reach S-rank, but Principal Angers values ​​the other party, so Fingel could only chat with him: "Didn't you participate and have some fun?"

"I remember that on Freedom Day every year, the freshmen were always the most active."

Lu Mingfei recalled Chu Zihang and Caesar's rapid knife fight that filled the entire square, as well as the barrage of bullets from the Lionheart Society and the Student Council, and his face turned deathly pale: "I think I'd better not."

"The academy is full of powerful people, who am I to them?"

"By the way." Recalling Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei wanted to ask around, since they were from the same hometown: "Senior brother, do you know Chu Zihang?"

Fearing that Fingel might not recognize him, Lu Mingfei even turned right and pointed to the end of the square.

Over there, Chu Zihang and Su Qian were walking away quickly, as if they were in a hurry to go back and do something. The task of cleaning up the mess was left to the other members of the Lionheart Society.

"Of course I know." Fingel always presented himself as a kind senior brother to Lu Mingfei, answering every question: "A-level hybrid Chu Zihang."

"The most amazing feat is that he was not recruited by the college, but found Kassel on his own. He was accepted by Professor Schneider and even started an internship in the Executive Department in his freshman year."

"He even beat Caesar today. I reckon Chu Zihang will become the number one student in the school by tonight."

"That's awesome?" Lu Mingfei's tone was complicated, perhaps it was envy, or perhaps the shared joy and sorrow of a fellow townsman achieving success: "What about that senior? Chu Zihang's girlfriend?"

Did Lu Mingfei also notice Su Xi?

Fingel's heart skipped a beat. This seemingly hopeless junior brother was really not as simple as he appeared. "Susie, Chu Zihang's deputy in the Lionheart Society. I've heard she has a high talent for sniping, but lately there have been many strange rumors about her."

"She would mutter to herself from time to time and often did things that bothered others. Everyone privately called Susie a weirdo."

Lu Mingfei nodded blankly. It sounded like the senior students in the academy were all very individualistic.

"I think I heard people talking about my best friend?"

Fingel and Lu Mingfei turned around at the same time. Before they knew it, Chen Motong had come to their side. She had a mischievous smile on her face, but her eyes were unusually calm.

"Fingal, and Lu Mingfei, we meet again." Chen Motong greeted them cheerfully, clearly knowing Fingel well, and immediately fixed her gaze on Lu Mingfei: "What, have feelings for Susie?"

At this point, she winked slightly with her right eye, seemingly offering a hint of encouragement: "Treat me to a nice dinner, and I can tell you about Susie's hobbies~"

"Huh? No, no, no." When Lu Mingfei talked about love, he blushed awkwardly and quickly waved his hands from side to side to deny it: "I, I went to the same middle school as Chu Zihang."

"Just asking casually. That senior Susie seems to be very close to Chu Zihang, so it's definitely none of my business."

Lu Mingfei's feelings are purely gossipy. Su Xi hasn't even appeared in his life events, so why would he like her for no reason?

Oh? Chen Motong became interested upon hearing this. Chu Zihang's fellow townsman and high school classmate?
Chen Motong narrowed her pretty eyes slightly: "Then you must know how Chu Zihang used to train, right? I only found out today that he is actually this strong."

Lu Mingfei was embarrassed. How would he know how Senior Brother Chu trained him?

Faced with the radiant Nuonuo, he could only scratch the back of his head and confess truthfully: "They say we're alumni, but I'm not actually close to Senior Brother Chu, and I don't know anything about him."

Chen Motong easily read Lu Mingfei's mind. Hmm, it seems he's not a fellow believer, just an ordinary junior.

You can tell Susie when you get back, and suggest that Susie find out from Lu Mingfei about Chu Zihang's past during his middle school years.

"By the way, Nono, you're a teaching assistant for psychological counseling now, right?" Finger joined the conversation at the right moment: "Can you do me a favor?"

Fingel clasped his hands together in a prayerful gesture: "Could you please write me a sick leave slip?"

“There was a problem with the apartment I rented in Chicago last summer. I’ve been getting harassed every day, so I have to go out and deal with it for a few days. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”

"Okay!" Chen Motong readily agreed, her smile becoming even more natural and joyful. Senior Brother Fingel, you're being naughty. No matter how good your acting is, you can't lie to an audience member.

Could it be that Senior Brother Fingel is also...? Chen Motong recalled Su Qian's request in the dormitory last night.

Just like Fingel, Susie also hoped to get a medical certificate for mental illness through Chen Motong, so that she could ensure she wouldn't skip class.

Kassel is quite strict in this regard; if you skip classes and don't get enough credits, the college has a variety of ways to handle it.

For example, Fingel's repeating a year is a form of punishment because he didn't have enough credits.

Of course, as a dragon-slaying academy, if it's a practical course or assisting with missions, then it doesn't matter; you can skip the professional courses.

Even in the dragon lineage course taught by Principal Angers himself, it's the same; as long as it involves slaying dragons, fighting dragons and corrupted hybrids, you're allowed to skip the course.

According to Susie's confession, Chu Zihang successfully obtained a leave of absence from Professor Schneider under the pretext of having family matters, and was able to return to China.

Susie and the professor's relationship wasn't close enough for her to ask for leave at will. If she wanted to accompany Chu Zihang on the mission, she would have to find another way and ask her best friend for help.

Pulling back her jumbled thoughts, Chen Motong looked at Fingel with interest. When she got back, she not only needed to have Susie contact Lu Mingfei, but she also needed to have Susie keep an eye on Fingel.

　Thank you so much, Caomutian, for the monthly ticket!
