Dragon Clan gacha, start as the top player in Takamagahara

The once-struggling journalism department will also be favored by many students at Kassel College, who will be eager to join, especially the female students.

When Lin Ye becomes the ultimate star of the entire Kassel College, surpassing Caesar, he will naturally be highly favored by the female students. At that time, why would the single men in the journalism department have to worry about finding partners? Their entire journalism department will definitely become the most sought-after department in the entire Kassel College because of Lin Ye's brilliance.

At that time, the Equipment Department, the Sports Department, and even the Execution Department will all be nothing but minnows. Everything will revolve around the News Department.

Fingel became more and more excited as he thought about it, and in the process, he got closer and closer to Lin Ye, as if he saw the light in his heart.

In his excitement, Fingel completely failed to notice Lin Ye's disgusted expression. Lin Ye began to back away, trying to distance himself from Fingel, but Fingel seemed completely oblivious to Lin Ye's rejection and kept pressing himself against him.

Just as Lin Ye was wondering whether he should unleash his power to make Fingel back down and regain his senses, a voice suddenly came from one side of the corridor.

"Finger, what are you doing here? Don't you know that Lin Ye just had that outburst and desperately needs to rest? Why are you disturbing him here?"

If you're really bored, I have a suggestion. Minister Schneider mentioned that the Executive Department is short of an assistant for the upcoming mission. If you're really bored, I can introduce you to him. I believe you'll perform well and completely resolve those projects you failed. Maybe after a few more missions, you can even get a diploma, or at least graduate completely.

Fingel, what do you think of this proposal?

Masashi Tomiyama walked over from the other end of the carriage, and when he came to Fingel, he spoke to him in a serious tone.

"Ahem, Mr. Masafumi Tomiyama, thank you for your suggestion, but I think the current situation is quite good, quite good, huh..."

Don't be angry, you may have misunderstood. I was just telling Lin Ye some things to pay attention to when entering Kassel College. Actually, it was for his own good, to prevent him from making mistakes. As you know, Professor Manstein, as the leader of the disciplinary committee, has always been very strict with the students.

"Well, I've said what I needed to say. I'm leaving now, right now, Lin Ye. Don't forget what I just told you. I hope you'll reconsider. I'll be waiting for your news."

After Fingel finished speaking, he retreated into the side carriage like an ancient tortoise, and then slammed the carriage door shut with a whoosh.

"Lin Ye, do you need to rest now?" Masashi Tomiyama asked kindly.

Compared to Fingel, this middle-aged instructor had a completely different attitude towards Lin Ye, an outstanding freshman.

"Mr. Masashi Tomiyama, I'm fine. I'd like to have two cups of hot chocolate first." Lin Ye raised the cup in his hand.

"In that case, I happen to have something to discuss with you. If you don't need to rest or aren't busy, please come with me."

"Teacher, what can I do for you?"

"Let's talk about it inside the carriage."

Masashi Tomiyama said earnestly.

He then turned around and walked into the vintage carriage.

Lin Ye didn't think much of it and followed the other person.

However, just as the two of them entered the vintage-style carriage, Masashi Tomiyama locked the carriage door from the inside.

Then Masashi Tomiyama turned around, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, looked up at the boy in front of him, and smiled innocently.

"Lin Ye, classmate..."

Chapter 159 Shocking Change! Danger!!! [Please Subscribe!]

"Lin Ye, classmate..."

Would you like a cup of coffee?

While mixing his coffee, Masashi Tomiyama turned to ask Hayashi Yoru a question.

Inside the carriage was an old-fashioned coffee machine, freshly grinding coffee beans. As Masafumi Toyama stirred it, the bitter coffee with its unique aroma was steaming hot.

"Thank you, instructor. I'm not used to drinking coffee. I'll have a hot chocolate later."

Lin Ye shook his head, politely declining the offer.

"Alright then, it's just the two of us here, Lin Ye, you don't need to be so reserved, please have a seat."

Masashi Tomiyama said with a light laugh.

After the coffee was mixed, I sat down on a chair to the side.

Lin Ye nodded as well and sat down opposite Masashi Tomiyama.

As Lin Ye sat down, he glanced around and found that the retro carriage had been restored to its original state. He had previously activated the alchemical matrix on the ancient alchemical sword by unleashing the latent spirit within it, causing the chaotic impact that had ravaged the carriage. However, in less than an hour, it had been restored to its original state.

Lin Ye glanced casually and saw a long, black box on the other side of the table. The familiar patterns on it and the stamped numbers on the corners of the box were clearly visible.

It was none other than the ancient alchemical sword named Lu, but I never expected it to be placed here like this.

When Masashi Tomiyama saw Lin Ye's gaze fall on the black box on the long table, he said with a smile, "Lin Ye, it seems you really like this ancient alchemical sword."

"Perhaps. Actually, when I hold this knife, I can feel a sense of mutual appreciation, as if this knife was tailor-made for me."

Lin Ye coughed a few times and explained in a serious tone.

Of course, the so-called feeling of mutual appreciation is complete nonsense. Lin Ye merely activated the living spirit hidden within this ancient alchemical sword. Under the aura of the ancient high-risk dragon-shaped species, he also suppressed the living spirit within the ancient alchemical sword. That's why he felt that the ancient alchemical sword was extremely easy to handle, since the other party didn't resist at all.

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Masashi Tomiyama, who was standing next to him, put down his coffee.

"Oh, so Lin Ye actually has a special feeling for this ancient alchemical sword. I've heard that a true alchemical weapon, especially one like this that contains a living spirit, often doesn't choose its master, but rather the sword chooses who it is. Since you have this feeling, Lin Ye, perhaps this ancient alchemical sword will really recognize you as its master."

Masashi Tomiyama explained with a surprised tone.

Because he also had a lot of knowledge about alchemical weapons, although he couldn't make such alchemical weapons himself, he did know a lot of theoretical knowledge. After all, a lot of knowledge can be learned from books, and in the library of Kassel College, if you want to learn about alchemy, you can find relevant alchemy books in the library. So Masashi Tomiyama knew a lot about this, and now he was shocked when he heard Lin Ye say this.

Lin Ye smiled wryly, "Although I have a deep connection with this ancient alchemical sword, it is not my weapon after all. It is an exclusive product of Kassel College. As a mere freshman, how could I really expect Kassel College to give me this very precious ancient alchemical sword?"

In fact, when Lin Ye said this, he was more testing Masashi Tomiyama, because he also wanted to know where Kassel College's bottom line was when he displayed his superior bloodline. This was also very valuable for his next action.

Masashi Tomiyama didn't speak directly, but slowly walked to the long, dark wooden box and reached out to stroke the patterns on its surface.

"This ancient alchemical sword has been in the possession of Kassel College for a long time. It has been sealed in the ice cellar of Kassel College. Every year, professors and scholars will study it. However, until it was brought into this train, no so-called living spirit was found in the ancient alchemical sword. Those experts and scholars used various methods, one of which was to use the blood of hybrids to stimulate the ancient alchemical sword."

After all, if there truly were a living spirit within the alchemical weapon, it would inevitably be sensitive to the blood of the hybrid, much like a thirsty person in the desert finding water. Even if the living spirit wanted to lurk within it, it wouldn't be able to resist the temptation. Similarly, in these experiments with the blood of hybrids, there were also A-level hybrids, but without exception, their blood never activated anything in this ancient alchemical sword. This is the fundamental reason why Kassel College didn't discover that there was a living spirit within this ancient alchemical sword.

Masashi Tomiyama slowly explained as he stroked the antique patterns on the surface of the box.

"Oh, so there's such a complicated process involved in crafting this ancient alchemical sword."

Lin Ye couldn't help but show a surprised expression at the right time.

"Yes."

Masashi Tomiyama gave Lin Ye a deep look, then continued, "Actually, no matter how complicated this so-called activation process is, it's all worthwhile once the desired result is achieved. The key issue is that even using the blood of an A-grade hybrid can't activate the latent life force within. To some extent, this means the latent life force simply doesn't value the blood of an A-grade hybrid. To them, it's not even like water; it's more like garbage liquid, so of course it's not worth their drinking."

Masashi Tomiyama spoke frankly, while the other party was also expressing something strongly.

Lin Ye looked at Masashi Tomiyama and said, "Instructor, you have repeatedly emphasized that even the blood of an A-grade hybrid cannot activate the living spirit hidden within this ancient alchemical sword. Does that mean you think my bloodline is even stronger than that of an A-grade hybrid?"

Masashi Tomiyama slammed his hand on the table. “Of course, after all, your blood can directly trigger the living spirit hidden within this ancient alchemical sword. You must know that this living spirit existed in the ancient Tang Dynasty and slaughtered all the Japanese soldiers, leaving none alive. After that battle, the entire sea was dyed red. This shows the terrifying ferocity of this sword and the arrogance of the creature. And through your blood, you can directly activate the creature's living spirit, so your bloodline must be higher than A-grade, otherwise the living spirit will not recognize you.”

After saying his last sentence, Masashi Tomiyama looked intently at Lin Ye. His emotions were clearly fluctuating.

“But Professor Masafumi Tomiyama, didn’t you just say that it’s not usually the master who chooses the alchemical weapon, but the alchemical weapon that chooses the right master? Maybe I have a special connection with this ancient alchemical sword, rather than because of my bloodline.”

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow and shared his opinion.

"Yes, your considerations are indeed reasonable, but you may lack knowledge about alchemy. So, Lin Ye, your considerations are not perfect. When an alchemical weapon truly chooses a suitable master, especially when the weapon possesses a living spirit, the choice is based on a kind of intuition. The living spirit can sense what kind of powerful being the master it recognizes is. Only such a powerful being is worthy to be its master. Therefore, the ancient alchemical sword will ultimately recognize you as its master, thus proving your powerful bloodline."

"Lin Ye, your bloodline is above A-grade, even the legendary S-grade!"

Masashi Tomiyama said in a solemn tone.

He stared intently at Lin Ye, seemingly trying to discern some clue from Lin Ye's expression. After all, with such a powerful bloodline and having his secret exposed to his face, how could Lin Ye possibly remain calm? However, to Tomiyama Masashi's disappointment, Lin Ye only frowned, seemingly quite puzzled as well.

“But… I’m from the Japanese branch, instructor. You should know how strict the bloodline tests are there. And the tests aren’t as lenient as they are at Kassel College. Every so often, the bloodlines of the executive officers at the Japanese branch are put to a test, and any problems that arise are marked.”

If this mark appears twice in a row, then the person will be judged as a dangerous individual and the Japanese branch will take measures against them, either isolating them or subjecting them to a very severe trial. If my bloodline is really S-class, Mr. Masashi Tomiyama, do you think the Japanese branch will let me go?

"You know, there was never any S-rank there. If one were to appear, wouldn't the bloodline be instantly deemed out of control?"

Lin Ye stated his judgment.

In fact, he also knew that it wasn't that the Japanese branch didn't have S-rank members. If you really wanted to count them, Genjiro, Genjiro, Erii, and Uesugi Kotsugi all had bloodlines that were at least S-rank. The reason Lin Ye dared to say this was because the bloodlines of Genjiro and others in the entire Japanese branch had never been truly exposed. So, in the eyes of Kassel College, although the entire Japanese branch was somewhat strong, it wasn't that terrifying.

"Perhaps your bloodline has been concealed, Lin Ye. If that's the case, how could the Japanese branch possibly have detected it?"

Toyama Masashi inferred.

Lin Ye deliberately frowned and said in a deep voice, "Instructor Masafumi Tomiyama, are you implying that I am deceiving not only the Japanese branch, but also Kassel College?"

Masashi Tomiyama also sensed the change in Lin Ye's emotions at this moment and quickly explained, "Lin Ye, you misunderstood. What I meant was that your bloodline is in a very stable state. If you don't deliberately unleash it, you yourself can't feel your own limits. So this may be the reason why the Japanese branch did not detect the limits of your own bloodline."

"But Mr. Masashi Tomiyama, are you so sure that my bloodline is higher than Grade A?"

Lin Ye continued to ask.

"Of course I'm certain that if you can activate the living spirit within that ancient alchemical sword, or even eventually conquer it, I'll have a very high chance of determining that your bloodline is S-rank. Of course, I can't be completely certain. What truly confirms my suspicion is your outburst against that red dragon cub."

"Lin Ye, didn't you personally knock that little red dragon unconscious? You know it's a true pure-blooded dragon, yet it couldn't withstand your furious attack. Lin Ye, could you describe how you felt at that moment? Or rather, what kind of emotional state were you going through?"

Masashi Tomiyama asked, "That feeling is like facing one's own patient, who is patiently asking the patient about the course of the illness."

"Actually, my feelings at the time were very strong. I felt that I absolutely could not let Erii get hurt. But at that time, I was suppressed by the domain activated by that red dragon cub. I just wanted to desperately break free from this restraint and protect Erii. My thoughts at the time were that simple. When I actually did it, I felt my whole body burning up, and I felt my blood boiling. Then, an unprecedented power erupted in my body."

Then, I naturally made the motion of grabbing the red dragon cub by the neck, because in my mind, that was the fastest way to subdue it.

Lin Ye seemed to be lost in deep memories, and began to explain to Masafumi Tomiyama in a serious manner.

"So, Lin Ye, your bloodline broke through its limits at that moment and definitely reached the extremely rare S-level. You may not have had this potential before, but the potential of your bloodline itself is already S-level. Otherwise, when your blood flowed into that alchemical ancient sword, that powerful living being would not have reacted with such fear. In other words, your bloodline completely conquered the other party."

If you feel a deep connection between yourself and that ancient alchemical sword, then it means that the sword is going to recognize you as its master.

"Is that so? Does that mean my bloodline is S-grade?"

Lin Ye also seemed to be deeply shocked.

"That's right, Lin Ye. You have to believe in yourself. Your bloodline is definitely S-grade. You could say that the entire Kassel College will give you extremely high privileges, even higher than those of the professors in Kassel College."

Masashi Tomiyama looked at Lin Ye with a burning gaze.

"How tall?" Lin Ye couldn't help but ask with longing.

"In short, it's very high, but..." Masashi Tomiyama said, then suddenly seemed to hesitate.

"But what?" Lin Ye was taken aback.

"However... Lin Ye, given your previous outstanding performance, you must possess an excellent S-class bloodline. Here, I must first apologize to you."

"Why should I apologize, Mr. Masafumi Tomiyama?"

Lin Ye frowned, not understanding why the middle-aged instructor would suddenly say such a thing, but Lin Ye felt that something was wrong, especially since the other party had locked the carriage door from the inside at the beginning, which seemed extremely abnormal.

"It's like this, the reason I apologized is because Kassel College doesn't want an S-rank student, especially not some people within the college, so..."

"so?"
