"Please wait a moment, everyone," Ye Shengchao said to the students waiting for their interviews, before turning to Zhou Si and the other two.

"Come on in, juniors."

Looking at Zhou Si walking in, Lu Mingfei became even more confused, and then a guess popped into his mind.

Does what Brother Zhou said this morning mean that he will give me special treatment and cast my precious vote?

Lu Mingfei was completely baffled, but it was clear that his classmates thought the same thing.

How could Lu Mingfei possibly know anyone at Kassel College? (x17)

Faced with the curious gazes of these people, Lu Mingfei could only laugh awkwardly twice more before shrinking back into the corner and pretending to be invisible.

"I didn't expect my juniors to live here too. I should have come over for a visit yesterday."

Ye Sheng was very enthusiastic. Because Zhou Si had helped them cover it up the night before, he and Ya Ji had a very good first impression of this junior.

The other examiner sitting in the conference room was clearly Shutoku Aki.

"Nice to meet you, I am Shutoku Aki."

Shudeya and the others bowed slightly, but their gazes fell on Erii, who was leaning against Zhou Si, their faces full of surprise.

As a mixed-race person of Japanese descent, she naturally had a significant connection with the Snake-Headed Eight Families and had heard of the only surviving head of the Uesugi family.

When I first heard the name, I thought it was just a coincidence, but now it seems that it really is the person?

Looking at Erii leaning against Zhou Si, this girlish senior had some guesses in her heart, and her eyes looked at Zhou Si with more respect.

After all, everyone knows about the relationship between the head of the Uesugi family and the future leader of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, the head of the Minamoto family. This junior is truly remarkable for catching the eye of that great man.

Yuan Zhisheng: I have no objection.

But her lover Ye Sheng knew nothing about these things; he simply warmly invited them to sit down.

"Professor Guderian had some business to attend to yesterday and is on his way. He was supposed to be the one to receive you, but it seems we'll have to do it for you now."

Ye Sheng smiled somewhat embarrassedly. They only learned yesterday when they returned to the hotel that Professor Guderian had rushed to the next city to take over an urgent matter.

Therefore, he specifically instructed Ye Sheng and Ya Ji to make sure to save Lu Mingfei's interview process, and then hung up the phone while cursing.

The old man, who was in his seventies or eighties, was clearly very angry.

"Our school has a pretty free atmosphere."

Zhou Si had clearly already put himself into the role of a student, but upon hearing his words, Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya's expressions simultaneously became subtle.

"You could say that."

"The professors will explain the details when you arrive at the school. The main reason for this exchange is that Principal Angers specifically asked us to pass on a message to you."

"What?"

Uesugi Etsu had also heard of Zhou Si, the legendary figure of the secret society, but his evaluation was mixed with a lot of personal feelings.

"You can stay at the academy and study without worry. I'm also quite interested in the situation of the Japanese branch over the years, so we can have a good chat about it then."

"These are the principal's exact words."

Ye Sheng repeated Angers' words verbatim, and Zhou Si and the others also understood the deeper meaning behind Angers' words.

It seems Japan is about to get quite lively.

"Little bird, have you ever been to school?"

"..."

Hearing Zhou Si's words, Elinie was stunned. After being rescued by the teacher, she had been studying with the teacher and didn't think she had ever been to a proper school.

Zhou Si understood immediately from her expression, and then turned to look at Erii.

“Teachers will come to teach Erii some knowledge, but she has never been to a real school.”

Erii shook her head as well.

Zhou Si was startled. Thinking about it, it seemed that among the people he knew, apart from Dr. Möbius and a few others who were engaged in scientific research, his academic qualifications were actually the highest.

Forget about whether you've graduated or not, just tell me if it's the highest level.

The interviews were still going on, and neither the examiners nor the students had time to pay attention to the three people whispering to each other. Even though they tried their best to answer the questions, they were still overwhelmed by the strange and unusual questions.

"Hmm, that lasted 15 minutes, which is pretty good."

Zhou Si nodded. This girl named Chen Wenwen had managed to hold her breath under Ye Sheng's pressure for fifteen minutes, which was truly remarkable.

Ye Shengwen's three questions were all incredibly abstract: Do you believe in aliens? Do you believe in superpowers? Do you think the foundation of human survival is idealistic or materialistic?

The first two are easy to explain; the room is full of examples.

Zhou Si and Elinie = Aliens

Hybrids = Superpowered Individuals

As for the third question...

Instead of getting hung up on such vague and unrealistic things, you should just eat a couple more bowls of rice.

As the students walked out of the meeting room dejectedly, Lu Mingfei finally walked in, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw three heads huddled in front of a screen.

“Lu Mingfei, please don’t mind them. Please have a seat.”

It's hard not to care. There are only 6 people in the conference room, including Lu Mingfei. Zhou Si and the others are indeed being a bit too obvious. But fortunately, Ye Sheng's words managed to draw his attention back a little.

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath. Before falling asleep last night, he had asked a friend in the United States to share some interview tips with him, hoping to leave a good impression on the two interviewers.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya asked those three questions again, completely sweeping Lu Mingfei's preparations into the trash can.

Lu Mingfei subconsciously cast a pleading look at Zhou Si beside him, but Zhou Si clearly had no intention of paying him any attention.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and voice his thoughts.

As for the result...

When asked by his classmates, Lu Mingfei, who set a record for the fastest departure time, said the following.

"It's alright. I came out quickly because I'm quick-witted. After all, I'm very familiar with Brother Zhou, hahaha."

But most of the people present were his classmates, so naturally no one believed Lu Mingfei's nonsense. After all, what could you do in a little over a minute? Even if he was very familiar with that senior, such a large college couldn't possibly give Lu Mingfei special treatment just because of two students' private requests.

Just as they were thinking this, the conference room door opened again.

"Lu Mingfei, don't forget to come again tomorrow night. Professor Guderian is looking forward to your arrival."

Ye Sheng's words caused those guys who usually considered themselves outstanding to suddenly lose their minds. They stared blankly at Lu Mingfei, who was standing in front of the door. Was this guy really Lu Mingfei?

"Lu Mingfei...you..."

"Luckily, luckily. Oh right, my aunt asked me to buy some things after the interview. It's getting late, I should go now. See you at school."

Faced with Chen Wenwen's gaze, Lu Mingfei only gave a vague reply before making up an excuse and leaving.

In the past, he might have felt a secret pleasure, but now Lu Mingfei only felt that those gazes were extremely irritating.

......

"Then, Senior Ye Sheng, we'll be leaving now."

After exchanging greetings, Zhou Si and Ye Sheng stood up and prepared to leave.

"How about we have a casual lunch together, juniors?"

Ye Sheng invited him to dinner again, but Zhou Si looked at himself and then at Erii. Considering Ye Sheng's wallet, he regretfully declined Ye Sheng's offer.

"Not this time. I've run into some issues and may have to leave Fuzhou."

This wasn't an excuse to refuse Ye Sheng and the others. Zhou Si and the others were indeed leaving because news had finally arrived from Su Enxi's side: another Monster Hunter dragon species had appeared, and this one had caused quite a bit of trouble.

"Let's get together again next time we have time."

Ye Sheng also seemed unconcerned, since Zhou Si had no reason to lie to them and most likely had something important to say.

Immediately afterward, Zhou Si took Kotori and Erii and left the hotel. As they walked to the hotel entrance, a Mercedes-Maybach stopped right in front of them.

The driver's side window slowly rolled down, and Mai Shude, wearing sunglasses, waved to Zhou Si, signaling them to get in the car.

"Wow, you guys really don't lack money."

Sitting in the passenger seat of the Maybach, Zhou Si looked at the luxurious interior and subconsciously sighed, "Back in Tokyo, we stayed in the best room of the best hotel."

Looking at it this way, the little devil is actually quite good to his subordinates.

"Actually, it's rented. I don't have a four-seater car here."

Mai Shude smiled. She was no longer as nervous as she had been when facing Zhou Si. After all, they were practically allies now, weren't they?

"Aren't you going up to check on your sister?"

Zhou Si asked a question out of curiosity, but Jiu De Mai remained unmoved, simply smiling before replying softly.

"There's no need for that. As long as she's doing well, that's enough."

With the engine roaring again, the expensive luxury car, carrying the three of them, headed towards the airport.

Driven by the power of money, they entered the terminal without hindrance and arrived at a private tarmac that was not open to the public. In the center of the tarmac, a private plane had been waiting for a long time.

"Too slow, too slow!" Su Enxi stood in front of the plane and waved vigorously in this direction. Then, she complained to Jiu De Mai with displeasure. But before Jiu De Mai could answer, Su Enxi immediately changed her expression and spoke to Zhou Si and the others in a rather obsequious tone.

"You've had a long journey, everyone. Let's get on the plane first, and we'll discuss the details once we're up there."

Seeing this scene of arrogance followed by obsequiousness is hard not to laugh at. Mai Shude crossed her arms, and if she didn't have to fly the plane, she would have loved to record Su Enxi's behavior.

Under the guidance of the flight attendants, Zhou Si and the other two quickly took their seats. It wasn't until the plane passed through the clouds that Su Enxi came to them with a tablet in her arms.

"Just get started."

After obtaining Zhou Si's permission, Su Enxi began playing the content on the computer.

The background of the scene appears to be a jungle, and the image is shaking wildly, probably because the person in the video is fleeing in a panic.

Soon, a dragon's roar came from the computer's speakers, and then the person in the video seemed to lose all strength and fell forward. The camera also fell off their body and landed in the bushes, capturing the sky and the forest in the frame.

The person who had been holding the camera was now lying in the corner of the frame, covering his ears with his hands and howling in pain, with blood dripping from between his fingers.

Although the video cannot truly recreate the scene at that time, Zhou Si and the others could vaguely imagine what happened just from the state of the person in the video and the almost broken sound recording.

And that familiar roar...

Zhou Si narrowed his eyes. If he remembered correctly, it should be the roar of some kind of flying dragon.

Zhou Si's conjecture was quickly confirmed. The video progress bar advanced by several tens of seconds, and a huge black shadow appeared on the screen. Its crimson wings, which covered the sky, seemed to block out the sun. Along with it, a huge 'fireball' fell from the sky.

boom--!

As the fireball landed, the earth instantly turned into scorched earth, and the crimson dragon clearly revealed its face in the video.

"Rathalos?"

Zhou Si didn't speak, but Elena, who was standing to the side, recognized what kind of monster it was the moment she saw the head.

Su Enxi nodded. She checked the encyclopedia more than a dozen times and concluded that this monster should indeed be the ruler of the sky, the Rathalos.

"This male Rathalos is still roaming the forests near Illinois, and it has practically devoured all the living creatures in the area."

"And just like the female Rathalos before, this male Rathalos also showed extremely strong aggression."

Zhou Si repeatedly examined the Rathalos in the image. The image quality was much clearer than before, but he did not see any special reaction from the Rathalos.

The reason Su Enxi said it was extremely aggressive was because this male Rathalos was in a state of rage, so of course it would be aggressive.

This is completely different from what the female Rathalos exhibited last time.

"You mentioned before that it caused very serious damage?"

Zhou Si was a little puzzled. Judging from the footage, the male fire dragon didn't seem to have done anything too serious.

Upon hearing this, Su Enxi's expression became complicated.

"Could it have also ended up in the Secret Service's military base?"

"That's not true."

Su Enxi shook her head expressionlessly, then suddenly uttered a sentence.
