The train conductor then saw the two of them.
New students waiting for the train usually get very anxious because they can't find the train at all.
However, these two were completely different. They leaned against each other leisurely, talking intimately, without showing any signs of anxiety.
"No wonder he's a freshman who can slay dragons even before entering the academy!" the train conductor waved his arms. "Xia Mu! Xia Liyi! Come quick! This train is specially for you!"
Natsuki took Erii's small hand and helped her stand up. He picked up her suitcase and followed the train conductor as they swiped their tickets and walked onto the platform.
The high-speed train stopped on the tracks, its headlights blazing. The train was black, with a streamlined body and dazzling silver-white vine patterns unfolding on the black paint, making it look as magnificent as a work of art.
Outside the only slid-open car door stood a familiar figure—Professor Mans.
"Professor Mans, haven't you finished your mission yet?" Xia Mu asked, somewhat surprised.
Mans wasn't smoking a cigar today, and his expression was quite serious: "Everyone knows that freshmen need a temporary mentor to guide them in understanding the world when they first board this train, and this mentor will basically be their official mentor in the future. I heard that Schneider was going to come and snatch someone away, so I flew back overnight."
The train conductor couldn't help but laugh: "This morning, several professors almost got into a fight. If it weren't for the principal's final decision, Professor Schneider might have actually succeeded."
"Hey! Luckily, I already talked to the principal!"
Mans smugly ran his hand through his hair: "Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to compete with that guy, after all, he's the head of the executive department."
This celebrity really wants to retire.
"Professor, do we still need guidance?" Xia Mu laughed. "We've already killed the dragon, there's no need to guide us on worldviews or anything like that."
"It's just a formality..."
Professor Mans put his arm around his shoulder and led the two of them into the car: "Once I get you into the academy, I will be your mentor."
"I heard the guidance was quite special; Lu Mingfei even said he saw a red dragon cub," Xia Mu said casually.
Mans was taken aback: "Guderian even brought out a red dragon cub?"
"Yes, I wonder if I can take a look?"
"You slaughtered such a big one, and you're still interested in the little ones?"
"It's different, the smaller ones are cuter."
"..."
Chapter 140 Red Dragon Cubs
The train sped through the pitch-black night. Across an oak table, Natsuki, Erii, and Professor Mans sat facing each other.
The carriage is in an elegant European style, with Victorian-style patterned wallpaper on the four walls, solid wood-wrapped portholes, and gold-embroidered embroidered sofas on dark green leather sofas. Every detail is exquisite.
Both Natsuki and Erii were required to change into the Kassel College uniform.
A white shirt, a dark green suit with fine silver trim, a deep rose-red scarf, and the World Tree emblem of Kassel College embroidered on the breast pocket.
The academy's tailors never measured their figures, yet they made the clothes fit perfectly. Natsuki even flipped up his and Erii's sleeves and saw their names embroidered in dark green thread: Uesugi, Erii.
Uesugi wood…
His mind went blank for a moment before he realized that this was the official name others used to know him.
Since his debut under the name Xia Mu, almost everyone has gotten used to calling him Xia Mu, including the people at Kassel College, except for the AI butler Norma.
"Come on, let's sign a confidentiality agreement first."
Mans casually tossed a document to Xia Mu, who then casually signed it... just to go through the motions.
"Welcome to Kassel College."
Mans said symbolically, "Put the documents away."
"Psychological counselor Masashi Tomiyama didn't come, and I wonder if that red dragon cub is still there..."
He muttered to himself, "No matter what, there should be a standard procedure; surely they weren't prepared..."
Professor Mans went into the back of the car, rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, and searched haphazardly. After a while, he finally took out two safes from a hidden safe, and then took out a briefcase from each of them.
"One is just a real dragon scale, nothing special. The one you killed was much stronger..."
"There's one more..."
Mans opened the second suitcase.
A cylindrical glass bottle was presented to Xia Mu, just like the kind of bottle that teachers use to hold specimens in biology class.
Xia Mu's eyes lit up.
This is good stuff...
Soaking in the pale yellow formalin solution was an animal that looked a lot like a lizard. It was yellowish-white, with its long tail curled up, like a fetus in the womb. Its long whiskers floated slowly in the solution, and its closed eyes made it look as peaceful as a baby.

"This is a red dragon's cub, not even dead yet, just in a dormant state. Dragons are very difficult to kill, especially the noble first and second generations. Oh right, like the one you killed. Even if you destroy its body, you can't destroy its soul. It may awaken again."
Mans said, "This is an extremely rare specimen. Humans usually cannot capture dragons because dragons can detect the activity of the human brain and will either attack before the human gets close or run away."
Xia Mu stood face to face with the red dragon cub through a half-centimeter-thick layer of glass. Its membranous wings and long whiskers fluttered in the solution, as if it were suspended in the clouds.
“Perfect, isn’t it?” Mans said with admiration.
“Perfect.” Xia Mu nodded.
He stared at the nictitating membrane covering the longan.
At this time.
The red dragon cub, which was soaking in formalin solution, suddenly opened its eyes; its eyes were golden yellow.
Its entire body convulsed from head to tail, and it stretched its neck and roared at Xia Mu. Then, scorching dragon flames were ignited deep in its throat and shot out!
It struggles to spread its wings, trying to break free from the constraints of the glass bottle.
It awoke, though its body, the size of a cat, carried the majesty of a dragon.
Mans was stunned, watching the ancient specimen come to life before their eyes.
"It's...it's back to life again? Didn't Masashi Tomiyama say it was an accident last time?!" He stood up in a fit of rage.
But something even more frightening happened.
"Bang bang..."
The glass bottle broke...
Because before Mans brought it over, Natsuki secretly had Erii add a low-temperature condition to the outer wall of the glass bottle.
Then, with a burst of dragon fire, the thermal expansion and contraction...
In front of the college gate, small groups of people were everywhere.
The two largest groups were clearly distinct: the student council and the Lionheart Society, Caesar and Chu Zihang.
The only one flitting between the two sides was Fingel, with Lu Mingfei pushing a cart behind him.
Their incessant hawking and soaring prices made everyone re-evaluate the integrity of F-class senior student Fingel and his ability to corrupt the freshmen.
S-class Lu Mingfei is clearly backing down in the face of the new S-class, preparing to give up...
"It's 3 o'clock, won't we be late?" Caesar raised his hand to look at Patek Philippe, frowning slightly.
The fact that he's standing here doesn't mean he thinks he's inferior to Xia Mu.
He is Caesar, and he will not lose to anyone.
He stands here partly out of respect for scholars, and partly because of Chu Zihang.
Caesar is determined to have the person his arch-enemy wants!
"Lu Mingfei, give me that bottle of wine." Nuonuo seemed not to hear him and pointed to Lu Mingfei's cart.
“Here you go,” Fingel said quickly, handing it to her and extending his hand, “1000 US dollars from Huicheng.”
"Keep accounts."
Nono skillfully popped open the bottle cap, tilted her head back, took a swig, and let out a comfortable sigh.
Fingel wanted to say "I won't lend you any money," but seeing Caesar beside Nono, he swallowed the words.
Anyone could renege on a debt, but Caesar would never do so.
"I'm coming!"
Just then, the students on the observation platform suddenly waved and shouted.
Everyone's spirits lifted.
Caesar took two steps forward and walked onto the platform, followed by a group of girls in white lace dresses.
Chu Zihang stood as straight as a javelin, and even without Caesar's flamboyant cheerleading squad, he would still be noticed by everyone.
Natsuki...you've come...
His eyes watched the train slowly pull into the station, his unwavering golden pupils sparkling with life.
Some people can become lifelong friends without going through too much together.
That's called being very compatible.
He felt that he and Xia Mu were like that.
The students didn't get too close, leaving space for the two leaders, and just formed a circle, ready to see the legendary dragon-slaying freshman, the S-class student who had delayed his enrollment.
He always exuded an air of mystery, which aroused their curiosity.
"boom."
The first thing to open was not the train doors, but the suddenly shattered train windows.
"Quickly open!"
Professor Mans's voice rang out sharply.
But the trainees didn't have time to react, because the red shadow that flew out of the car and came towards them looked exactly like a bright red roasted chicken for Easter.
It's completely harmless!
Some female trainees even had a first thought that was... Wow! So cute!
