Professor Guderian was speechless. Lu Mingfei's words were too sharp, yet very logical. He dared not think about them any further and could only turn to Ye Sheng with a pleading look.

But Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya both covered their faces and pressed their heads against the wall, looking as if they were oblivious to what was happening around them.

At times like this, it would be wise to pretend that they didn't hear anything. The situation is worse than they imagined. Leaking information is now the least of their worries. Lu Mingfei has deciphered an even bigger secret from just a few words. This secret is so big that it could destroy the millennia-old dragon-slaying feat that the hybrid race has been pursuing!

"I don't know what happened to you, Lu Mingfei, don't you seem to harbor a lot of malice towards this world?"

Without teammates to coordinate with, Professor Guderian could only bite the bullet and continue explaining:

"What philosopher said it again? There are always some people who carry heavy burdens, and the world is still a beautiful place. You may think that everyone who approaches you has ulterior motives, but maybe they just want to hug you?"

"Similarly, there may indeed be some people hiding in the world of hybrids trying to usurp the power of the dragons, but I guarantee! Before they can act, someone will cut off their hands! The academy's headmaster is the most powerful dragon slayer. Have I mentioned him to you?"

Professor Guderian paused:

"It doesn't matter if it wasn't mentioned. He was also the most steadfast dragon slayer! Anyone who dared to revive the dragon race has already become a victim of his blade! Even if those people really had such ambitions, they wouldn't dare to show their faces. As long as the principal is alive, they can only bury such dirty thoughts in their hearts!"

"What if your principal dies?"

Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow.

"That's why we're so eager for you to join! You'll be the second most powerful hybrid, just like the principal!"

Professor Guderian was overjoyed. Lu Mingfei finally asked a normal question according to the script. He mentioned the principal just to say this.

In his view, Lu Mingfei had these problems simply because he was frightened by the secrets of the dragon race.

Dragons in mythology are powerful creatures, but now someone is telling him that his enemies are ferocious beasts that can fly and breathe fire, which inevitably makes him very worried.

At times like these, we should encourage Lu Mingfei and make him believe from the bottom of his heart that those monsters are no match for him!

Faced with his passionate outburst, Lu Mingfei remained unmoved, coldly watching the old man spit as he spoke. Professor Guderian's boiling blood was doused with a bucket of ice water, and his heart instantly turned half cold.

"Does Lu Mingfei have any further questions?"

Professor Guderian chuckled and climbed down from the table; he had gotten so excited talking that he had involuntarily climbed up there.

This is something he learned from the materials he received last night. The materials said that when a person tilts their head back, it can cause insufficient blood supply to the brain. At this time, a person's thinking will become sluggish and they will be easily affected by emotions. Perhaps Lu Mingfei will also be impressed by his impassioned speech and sign his name on the enrollment form in a daze.

But Lu Mingfei didn't look up at all; he simply raised his eyelids slightly and sat with his gaze tilted upwards, like an old monk in deep meditation.

"I have no problems anymore."

Lu Mingfei shook his head. He already knew enough, and there was nothing more Professor Guderian could reveal if he asked any further questions.

"So, Lu Mingfei, do you want to join Kassel College? We will devote all our resources to nurturing you... I have seen the interview notes and the questions you and our interviewers asked. If you want to find the meaning of life, Kassel College will be your best choice."

Professor Guderian pulled out a brand-new admission consent form from behind his back, handed it to Lu Mingfei, leaned forward and looked at him expectantly, his ears practically perked up.

He had already exhausted all his skills and had no more tricks up his sleeve. If Lu Mingfei still refused, he would prepare for the worst and lie down at Lu Mingfei's feet, refusing to get up until he signed the papers.

This was a suggestion from another of his students, who patted their chests and assured him that this move would definitely be able to take down Lu Mingfei.

Professor Guderian felt it was too dignified to use this approach, but if Lu Mingfei remained unmoved, he would have no choice but to resort to underhanded tactics. After all, everyone present today was his student, and the matter wouldn't get out.

Lu Mingfei stared at the blank form for a long time before slowly standing up.

Professor Guderian quickly stood up, his heart, which hadn't quite cooled down yet, was completely dead.

What does this mean? Is it a rejection? But he has already thrown everything he can give on the table. Does he really have to pack up the entire academy and give it away to make Lu Mingfei change his mind?

"Could you give me some more time to think about it?"

Lu Mingfei said softly.

Professor Guderian breathed a sigh of relief; his deadened spirit was rekindled. Although somewhat disappointed, it was better than a direct rejection.

"Of course! We've always been very lenient with outstanding students. You have plenty of time to consider. My phone is connected to the college secretary, so you can call me with any questions. If I don't answer, I'll transfer you to the college secretary, and she'll answer all your questions."

Professor Guderian paused, thinking of the questions Lu Mingfei had asked, and added, "Almost all of them."

Lu Mingfei thanked him softly, then turned and left the restaurant.

Professor Guderian watched his figure disappear out the door, then completely relaxed and slumped into his chair. Only then did he realize that his back was soaked with sweat, the cloth clinging to his skin, making the air conditioning in the room feel chilly.

"What should we do now?"

Ye Sheng scratched his head, finally ending his self-reflection. Jiu Deya went to wake Nuonuo up for breakfast, as the little witch was exhausted from last night and had been sleeping until now.

"Don't ask me, I'd like to know what to do if I could."

Professor Guderian, distressed, ran his fingers through his messy hair, making it look like a bird's nest. "I just hope I don't mess things up again, or the principal might send me on a business trip to Africa."

"In fact, we've already messed things up."

Ye Sheng said quietly, "If we can't get Lu Mingfei into the academy, we'll be sent to the gallows as whistleblowers."

"Wasn't hanging abolished?"

"If the school board knew what happened today, they would probably consider us a disgrace and, in a fit of anger, reinstate the hanging."

Ye Sheng gave Professor Guderian a deep look. "Although you didn't say those words on your own initiative, you are still involved."

Professor Guderian remained silent for a long time:

"...That's really terrible. After breakfast, I'll go to the academy to request that a psychologist be sent over. We probably won't be able to persuade Lu Mingfei on our own."

Ye Sheng shrugged and found a waiter to bring him some food. A few minutes later, Shu Deya brought Nuonuo, who was yawning incessantly, to the restaurant. Everyone sat down and absentmindedly cut salmon rolls.

Nono wisely refrained from asking what had happened and focused on frantically tearing at her food.

Suddenly, the quiet restaurant was filled with the urgent ringing of cell phones; their phones rang at the same time.

Professor Guderian was still fretting that Nono was eating and ignoring her phone ringing. Only Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji took out their phones and found that an identical email had been sent to their inboxes.

"Am I seeing things?"

Ye Sheng stared blankly at the email, then turned to look at Jiu Deya's phone. The content was exactly the same, with a blood-red background that was terrifying at first glance.

"Why are your faces so red? Did your stocks go up?"

Nono looked up and saw two faces glowing red, which startled her.

"The S-rank... has run away."

"I'm stunned," said Shudeya.

Professor Guderian seemed to have triggered a key phrase; he jumped up, pulled out his phone, and saw an email from Norma pop up. The content was simple, containing only one sentence:

"Lu Mingfei boarded a flight to Japan 10 minutes ago, and the plane has already taken off and cannot be intercepted."
