Why are all the people in my chat group rumored to be from the outside world?

As if he had finished listening to what the person on the other end of the communicator had said, Leo looked at everyone.

"I have a question that I hope you can answer."

Doctor: "Go ahead and ask."

What brought you all together?

"...It's probably fate."

Leo looked at the person who answered his question, Kevin, who called himself Merlin.

"You might not believe it, but Kevin scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly."

"We met simply because of a group chat."

“We didn’t even know each other just a few days ago.”

"But now we're gathered together to avoid potential dangers."

“The difference between us might mean we’re destined to never fit in,” Ember said softly, picking up where Kevin left off.

"If you stay in one place for too long, you might be captured and studied one day."

“We don’t want that, we don’t want to be locked up in a cage in a laboratory.”

Xing crossed her arms and a relieved smile appeared on her face: "So the four of us are doing a team building activity and plan to travel around the world."

Leo looked at the four people in front of him, each with a different expression, and slowly asked, "Are you interested in learning about Kassel College?"

"Plan is complete!" x4

Chapter 17 Heading to Kassel

"Get to Chicago within three days, find the CC1000 train, take it, and you'll arrive at Kassel College. I'll be waiting for you there."

"Ash, Merlin, Adam, Black Tower, tell me your real names next time we meet."

After telling the four about Kassel College, Leo left these words and tried to leave the café, but four hands grabbed his clothes at the same time.

His steps faltered, and he turned around in confusion, only to see three pairs of pitiful eyes.

"Senior Leo! Can't you take us with you? Three days is too long! We want to go to the academy where our compatriots are right away!" Ember spoke first, his tone full of pleading.

"Yes, Senior Leo, please, please take us with you!" The Doctor looked excited, as if he had finally found his people.

Xing said nothing, only staring at Leo with her teary eyes.

Kevin looked heartbroken: "Senior, we've lost all our documents, and we don't even have much money left. We don't know if we'll have enough for a plane ticket. If possible, could you take us to the academy first?"

Leo was in a dilemma. He wanted to break free from these people, but that would mean his clothes would be torn open.

Bringing people to school ahead of time was not something he could decide, but fortunately, new instructions came through the still-connected communicator.

Leo nodded, then looked at the four of them with a somewhat helpless expression.

"The faculty at the college have agreed that you can come to the school with me now."

"If there's anything you need to bring, just make your own arrangements. We'll meet at the same intersection where we came from in half an hour."

Ember: "Thank you, senior. Thank you, teacher."

The doctor said, "We will definitely contribute to the organization!"

"Then you can let go now, right?" Leo reminded the group, his clothes already starting to wrinkle.

Upon hearing this, the four immediately let go and gave each other an awkward but polite smile.

"Alright, you guys go and get ready. Remember to be there in half an hour." Leo turned around again. This time, Ember and the others didn't stop him, but silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the four of them exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

The torchbearer: "I didn't expect them to agree so easily."

College student: "It's probably because of the so-called bloodline. The people behind him think our bloodline is very high. With our attitude, it shouldn't be too difficult to get them to agree."

Programmer: "But what should we do after that?"

College student: "Let's take it one step at a time."

Star Core Essence: "Fortune favors the bold, huh? That's interesting."

Without much hesitation, everyone agreed.

This job is a sure thing!

If they can't even complete such a simple beginner task, what happens if they encounter more difficult tasks later on? Will they just give up?

The world is vast, and they need... strength.

The four of them walked out of the coffee shop, knowing that the real test was just beginning.

As exposed mixed-race individuals, the four of them were placed under surveillance, and an investigation was inevitable.

However, they couldn't withstand any investigation and had to arrive at Kassel College before they could react. After receiving the reward, they immediately used the shop to buy a one-time teleportation scroll worth 80 to leave the college.

Therefore, the sooner the better. If we really make them go to Chicago in three days, it will be too late.

Therefore, they must act quickly!

Leo was talking to the person behind him on the walkie-talkie.

"Professor von Schneider, is this really the right thing to do? Shouldn't we investigate first, observe their actions, and then make a decision?"

“No need for that. Let them investigate slowly once they arrive at the school. There’s no rush,” von Schneider’s hoarse voice came from the other end of the communicator.

Leo shrugged. "Okay, you're the professor, you decide. But I'm a little curious, why did you make this decision?"

"Because they are good enough..."

"The target you're trying to arrest this time is very dangerous, yet he can only be pinned to the ground and trampled by these few people. I think you should understand what I mean."

Leo's tone changed slightly.

"A-level."

"Perhaps." Von Schneider's hoarse voice made it impossible to discern his true emotions.

After hanging up the call, von Schneider wanted to leave the conference room, and as he walked, he thought about something.

"The principal left the college yesterday, and we don't know where he went. Oh well, it's not anything particularly important. We'll report to him when he gets back."

Will Angers encounter any danger?

It can only be said that people have great confidence in this Avenger who has lived for over 100 years.

Angers often disappeared from their sight, their whereabouts unknown.

Von Schneider planned to inform Manstein, who was in charge of admissions at Kassel College, that a promising student was on the way.

At this moment, the dragon slayer trusted by the people sat in a hospital room, gazing at the scenery outside the window.

Angers touched his chest, where the baseball had hit him. There was no wound there, but some kind of energy had surged into his body. It wasn't fatal, but it was troublesome. No medical equipment could solve it; he could only wait for the energy to dissipate.

"If those guys knew my current situation, they'd probably send someone to take my life right away." Despite being injured and confined to bed, Angers wore a smile.

Angers had not expected this outcome given the unexpected situation.

In this era before the Dragon King has been resurrected, I am confident that my strength is enough to break through the encirclement under any circumstances.

However, the girl's baseball bat taught him a harsh lesson.

But this also brought a sense of confusion to his heart.

These people may not be pawns of others as he perceives them to be.

If that's really the case, can I use it myself?

Angers knew it was dangerous, but in order to achieve his revenge, he was willing to try anything, no matter how dangerous, because... that was what he lived for.

Before that, however, Angers lay back down on the bed and covered himself with a blanket.

Even a vengeful ghost needs rest. It would be ridiculous if, on the day he was about to take his revenge, he missed a move because he hadn't slept long enough and was too weak.

As for those four people, he didn't plan to tell anyone else. Whether others could find out or would cause trouble for him was none of Angers' concern.

"It would be great if those old guys went after these guys."

Angry drifted into a light sleep with this thought in mind.

As for why he had this idea?

Of course, I hope someone else is as unlucky as him.

If he couldn't withstand that blow, who could?

Henkel?

Not long after, as the plane took off, Ember and his companions embarked on their journey to the new map.

Chapter 18 Dragon!

After a half-day flight, the four people on the plane initially looked at the scenery outside with great curiosity and discussed it in front of Leo. Later, they began to feel drowsy and wanted to take a nap.

Leo initially suggested that the group take a nap first. Kassel College wouldn't be reached so quickly, but they certainly didn't dare sleep!

The thought of storming into the base camp fills me with a strange sense of excitement.

Perhaps the moment they are exposed, they will become enemies of the entire school's teachers and students.

It wasn't until their plane passed through the winding mountains that a new world opened up before their eyes.

"We've arrived," Leo, the senior student leading the group, reminded them.

Leo's reminder successfully drew the four people's attention back to the outside of the plane, and their eyes lit up when they saw the buildings nestled in the winding mountains.

Kassel College is a military school specializing in dragon slaying, founded in 1901 by the Camarilla, the world's largest dragon-slaying organization.

Yes, the dragon-slaying profession.

All the students here are of mixed race, and the main purpose of this school is to train these mixed-race individuals to become dragon slayers.

More than 100 years have passed since the school was founded, but this school still manages to impress people.

If they hadn't known this place was very unfriendly to the four of them, they would have really wanted to come here and take a picture.

As the military academy of Kassel has an airfield inside, after the plane landed, the group walked out of the cabin and came outside, where they were immediately greeted by people.

At first, Yu Jin thought the other party's purpose was to welcome Leo, after all, he was the president of the Lionheart Society, so he should have some prestige.

However, when the middle-aged, bald man with glasses stood in front of them, they realized they were looking for themselves.

“My name is Gerd Rudolf Manstein, a professor at Kassel College, and perhaps your future mentor. On behalf of Kassel College, I welcome the four of you.” Manstein looked at the four people in front of him, who Professor von Schneider had mentioned might have A-level bloodlines, and a smile appeared on his face.

The academy hasn't had any A-level bloodlines join for a long time. The bloodline level of hybrids is judged by its rank, and A-level is the highest level besides S-level. An S-level might not appear for several years, so you can imagine how rare A-level is.

Facing this middle-aged man, Yu Jin calmly exchanged a few words in the chat group. The Doctor, upon learning that Manstein was a professor at the academy and that the school valued them, was filled with excitement.

"Professor... I'm Adam! I'm so happy to be here at Kassel College and become a student. We will definitely contribute to the organization!"

Faced with this person who, without even signing an employment contract, acted as if he were from Kassel College and claimed to be Adam, Manstein, despite being a man who had experienced many ups and downs, had never encountered such a situation before, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Don't be nervous. I've heard about your situation. You are both very outstanding. I heard that you are experiencing some financial difficulties due to some special reasons?"

A hint of embarrassment immediately appeared on their faces.

The PhD student looked embarrassed by his lack of money: "We'll work to pay off our tuition later."

His words made Manstein laugh twice again. "Hahaha, how could Kassel College possibly charge you tuition? Not only that, we'll also provide you with generous scholarships every year..."

Before Manstein could continue speaking, a cough came from the side, attracting his attention.

“Ahem, Professor Manstein, I know you’re quite excited, but staying at the airport all this time isn’t really a good idea. These junior students have just been traveling all day and need to rest,” Leo reminded them.

“Yes, you’re right.” Manstein turned back to look at Ember and the others.

"You must be tired after traveling for several hours. Take a rest first, and I will discuss the rest with you in detail later."

“There’s no need for that!” The doctor excitedly grasped Manstein’s hand.

"Teacher, I can't wait to join the academy! You have no idea how long I've longed for this day. From the moment my body mutated, I've been hoping every morning for a secret envelope to invite me to join a mysterious organization. Now that you've finally appeared, how can my companions and I endure these agonizing hours? Even when we're resting, we're restless. Teacher, please let us join the academy!"

Manstein looked at the excited Adam in front of him, and the three equally expectant people behind him, and felt a little embarrassed.

He was still unaware of the identities of these people. Generally, Kassel College checks students' information before they enroll, and to get a thorough understanding, they need to know at least 70-80% of the details.
