He is currently in the Dragon Clan and has married Erii.

Indeed, it's no wonder Lu Mingfei felt this way, always being at the bottom among a group of top students.

"Relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you don't pass the exam, you don't pass. Maybe there will be better options?"

Tang Yu knew that Lu Mingfei's bloodline was one in a million, S-class. He estimated that in another two months or so, the admissions staff of Kassel College would try to get this guy into the college.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei's current worries are completely unnecessary.

However, although Tang Yu knew these things, he couldn't say anything. He simply couldn't explain how he knew this information.

If Tang Yu himself said he was a time traveler, he would probably either be locked up as a madman or be dissected like a guinea pig by the ruthless and heartless board of directors.

Tang Yu and Lu Mingfei chatted for a whole morning, and before he knew it, it was lunchtime for him.

"call……"

Tang Yu reached out and closed his laptop, stretched his body slightly from sitting for so long, and then used his student card to order two lunches at the cafeteria.

Yes, that's right. He also ordered one for Fingel as well.

While waiting for the food to arrive, Tang Yu also felt a little worried for Lu Mingfei, because the last message Lu Mingfei sent him read like this.

"I have to talk to you now, Ayu. My aunt is chasing me to the internet cafe with a rolling pin."

Whenever Tang Yu thought of Lu Mingfei running away in the internet cafe with his head in his hands, he couldn't help but grin unkindly. He figured Lu Mingfei was definitely in for a good beating tonight.

"Ha...you're back so early, junior brother." Perhaps because it was mealtime, Fingel, who had wrapped himself up like a mummy in the blanket on the other bed, woke up.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned, and then sprang up with a somersault, throwing off the blanket.

A little bird drooped its head in the midday sun, revealing a large, white rear end. Tang Yu instantly felt like he had gone blind again.

Fortunately, it wasn't time for get out of class to end yet, and there were no female students passing by outside. Otherwise, Finger would probably already be in federal prison, passionately fencing with a group of like-minded people!

ding dong...

Just as Tang Yu was rubbing his eyes hard, the doorbell rang.

Outside the door stood a handsome young man dressed as a waiter, carrying a lunchbox and wearing a name tag on his chest.

Restaurant waiter/waitress.

Ye Sheng!

"Hello, is this the meal you ordered? Please check it. If everything is correct, please sign here."

Ye Sheng was slightly out of breath, with a few beads of sweat on his forehead, indicating that he had run for a while.

Tang Yu calmly observed Ye Sheng while signing his name on the reply slip.

Tang Yu greatly admired Ye Sheng. A man who could give up his own hope of survival in a time of crisis so that his girlfriend could live was definitely a friend worth making.

16. The luxurious Kassel College

At the same time, Tang Yu also wanted to do everything in his power to help this ill-fated couple.

At least... they could live happily together instead of dying together in the cold, dark water.

If you calculate the time, there are only about three months left until the battle in which Mans's team was completely wiped out at the Three Gorges Dam.

"We need to find a way to get them to take me with them when they go on missions. With me, the prophet, around, there shouldn't be any major problems."

While pondering his plan, Tang Yu placed the lunchbox on the coffee table, opened the lid, and took out the delicious-looking food inside.

The aroma of the food instantly whetted Fingel's appetite. Like a cat smelling fish, his eyes gleamed with a sinister green light.

"Good junior brother! Is this one for me?"

"Otherwise what?" Tang Yu rolled her eyes at Fingel. "Do you think I can eat that much by myself?"

"Junior brother, you're so good to me!" Fingel was moved to tears. He made a gesture of holding his heart with one hand and rushed forward to give Tang Yu a hug, but Tang Yu decisively dodged him.

Seeing Tang Yu's disgusted expression, Fingel was not discouraged. He patted his chest and said, "From today onwards, I'll protect you! Don't underestimate me. I have a lot of prestige at Kassel College, and absolutely no one will dare to bully you." Fingel said with great pride.

"Yes, yes, you're amazing for repeating a grade, alright!" Tang Yu replied casually, then added, "If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."

This sentence worked like a charm. As soon as he finished speaking, Fingel teleported to the lunchbox and, without even using a knife and fork, picked up a piece of fried pork chop with his bare hands. He opened his blood-red mouth and stuffed the pork chop into his seemingly bottomless stomach.

"By the way, senior, Principal Angers told me that the Lionheart Society and the Student Union are having a joint event tomorrow night at a place called Norton Hall. Do you want to go?"

“I’m not going.” Fingel refused decisively, happily rummaging through his food, and replied to Tang Yu in between bites.

"What am I supposed to do there? The pretty girls wouldn't even look at me!"

"But I heard that you can eat as much as you want at the banquet, and the student council will pay for everything."

"Of course we have to go! It's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal." This reason hit Fingel's sweet spot, and his eyes immediately lit up, looking eager to try it out.

Because of the continuous decline in his bloodline class, Fingel's student card doesn't have much overdraft limit. He basically has to borrow money to cover his expenses.

Therefore, Fingel's usual diet was very simple, consisting of only bread and the like that could barely fill his stomach.

As for seafood, aside from the "braised lobster" I had this morning, the last time I ate it was probably half a year ago...

After lunch, Tang Yu, under the pretext of "digesting," dragged Fingel for a stroll around the campus.

"This is Valhalla, where the students' graduation ceremony is held."

"This is the Well of Annihilation. It is said that the Ice Cellar is where the academy stores its alchemical equipment."

"This is Heimdall, the headquarters of those lunatics in the Equipment Department. It's best not to come near unless you have something to do."

As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's money is bound to be grateful," Fingel felt a little guilty for having eaten two big meals at Tang Yu's house today, so he volunteered to be Tang Yu's tour guide.

It must be said that Fingel was quite dedicated and professional as a tour guide.

Fingel somehow acquired an electric scooter, and with Tang Yu on the back, they spent the entire afternoon touring almost the entire Kassel College.

After spending an afternoon there, Tang Yu finally understood the true luxury of this academy.

This luxury is not only reflected in the size of the land occupied, but also in the fact that the decorations seen everywhere have a remarkable history.

A giant Roman column carved from a single marble slab, a statue of Odin sculpted by a world-renowned artist, unknown exotic plants, a wide artificial river, and religiously themed murals...

Just by looking at them, you can tell that these things are definitely not cheap.

"This place is so luxurious."

When Tang Yu learned that each mark on the academy's clock tower was inlaid with a genuine gemstone, he exclaimed in amazement.

Honestly, Tang Yu is now a wealthy man, but compared to this incredibly vast academy, he's just a drop in the ocean.

"Senior brother, how much did it cost to build this academy back then?"

"A lavish meal, fair and square!" Fingel held up one finger. "Don't glare at me, this is classified information! I bet I'm the only student in the entire academy, besides the veterans in the engineering department, who knows this information! This price is really reasonable."

"Stop joking around, just tell me! We're having French veal steak tonight."

"Junior brother is so generous!!" Fingel grinned smugly and gave a thumbs up.

After looking around and making sure no one was around, Fingel mysteriously pointed to the small lawn in front of the Odin statue.

The grass on the lawn is just like the most common weeds on the street, except that it is a little darker in color and grows a little thicker, it has no other characteristics.

"Junior brother, don't underestimate this lawn. It's Principal Angers' treasure! Do you know how much it cost to plant it?"

"At most, it'll be one or two thousand US dollars." Tang Yu had already guessed a large number, but to his surprise, the number that Fingel said was several hundred times larger than his estimate.

“You’re wrong about that.” Fingel grinned mischievously, waving his left hand in front of Tang Yu.

"This lawn cost a full half million US dollars back then. Don't tell anyone, it's the principal's secret!"

“Five...five hundred thousand? Principal Angers doesn’t seem like a rich man at all!” Tang Yu was completely shocked. He originally thought he was at least a rich man, but only now did he realize that he didn’t understand the world of the rich at all.

“This isn’t Principal Angers’ money; it’s all invested by the families who control the board of directors, like the Gattuso family, the family of Boss Caesar,” Fingel paused for a moment, then continued.

"It is said that the eight families mobilized at least several hundred billion US dollars to build this academy, along with a huge amount of alchemical equipment. Most of these resources were spent on building the academy's underground facilities, such as ice cellars, Norma's machine room, and Heimdall, all located more than ten meters underground."

"Moreover... according to reliable sources, there is a grand project called 'Noah's Ark' operating underground within the academy."

------------

17. The Kuimen Project (We're about to sign the contract, seeking investment. It's guaranteed to be a profitable venture!!!)

"The Noah's Ark Project?" Tang Yu scratched his head, feeling a sense of awe and fascination.

“I’m not entirely sure what the specifics are, but judging from the name, it’s probably a plan to preserve the last vestige of humanity’s heritage after the failure of the dragon-slaying project,” Fingel said in a low voice, his expression solemn.

At this moment, he became very serious, a stark contrast to his usual cheeky demeanor.

The topic was a bit heavy, and after they finished talking, there was a long silence between them.

As the sun sets, it's time to head back to the dorm for dinner...

On the other side, in the principal's office.

Mans, dressed in a gray suit, was holding a cup of coffee, standing shoulder to shoulder with the still dashing Angers in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

A muscular middle-aged man and a dashing man over a hundred years old stood together harmoniously, creating a magical atmosphere of organic integration between them.

"Well, Mans, has the list of personnel to carry out the Kuimen Project been finalized?" Angers asked, a coffee in one hand and a cigar in the other, his face cold and stern.

At this moment, he didn't seem like a principal teaching and educating people, but rather like an ancient swordsman about to go to the battlefield with two swords, his whole body filled with the murderous intent before a great battle.

"It's all decided. This operation will be led by me, along with Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya, my student Selma, the holder of the Word of Power Key and his guardian, as well as several other accompanying personnel."

"Is that all? Are we really manpower enough? We must be careful! This mission will take place at the Three Gorges Dam, which is known as a world wonder. Due to China's unique national conditions, we cannot carry too many weapons." Angers took a deep drag on his cigar.

"This means that we may have to rely on unreliable incantations and some pitifully weak alchemical weapons to face an awakened sub-species or even a noble dragon king!"

"There's nothing we can do about it," Mans said with a wry smile, a hint of helplessness and sorrow flashing deep in his eyes.

Yes, this is their destiny, the destiny of dragon slayers.

From the day they risked their lives to become dragon slayers, every hybrid, like Odin in Norse mythology, has been preparing to slay dragons at all times.

But this is a path of no return! Just like Ragnarok, no hybrid has ever been able to truly kill the Dragon King and achieve victory.

Countless lives were lost and sacrifices were made, but only a brief period of peace was achieved.

Almost every time a dragon awakens, a number of members of the Secret Society perish.

Even though Angers and Mans had seen so much life and death, they still didn't want to face the news of any member's death.

With each member's departure, the world loses one less rebel, bringing it one step closer to a "bad end" dominated by dragons.

“Old buddy, relax a bit, don’t be too pessimistic! I think the list of people you’ve drafted is still a bit lacking, how about… adding another person?”
