Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

"… In view of this, although there is no clear record, we can infer that Xerxes I, who initiated the Persian War, was one of the dragons hidden among humans in history books, and Leodaris I, who blocked Xerxes I at Thermopylae on August 480, 8 BC, was the most outstanding super hybrid in the Kingdom of Sparta." Susie, who had a high ponytail, answered Professor Guderian's question and closed the dragon genealogy textbook in her hand.

"Great, really great! You can find the direction closest to the truth from the clues in history. As a reward, I will exempt you from detention today!" Professor Guderian was in a good mood, and his eyes, which were already a little blurry due to his age, were shining with excitement under the lenses.

Susie's long eyebrows curved. "Thank you, Professor," she said.

After she sat down, Professor Guderian began to assign today's detention homework, while Susie quietly turned her head to peek at the girl next to her who was bathed in sunlight.

This large lecture hall was rebuilt after the previous classroom was destroyed by the shockwave of the Sword of Scourge that fell on the suburbs of Chicago. Next to it is a huge terrace with a five-meter-long frosted glass above it. Standing on it, one can overlook the entire valley campus. Wind chimes tied above the terrace sway and make tinkling sounds.

The fallen red maple leaves swirled and fell on the frosted glass. The mottled sunlight slanted on the outer side of the classroom. Nono sat in that beam of sunlight, and her whole body felt warm.

She was quiet and absent-minded, not disturbing anyone but no one could ignore her. The two silver four-leaf clover earrings swayed slightly in the breeze like wind chimes, emitting brilliant golden light.

A distant bell sounded from the center of the campus. Nuonuo tidied up the strands of hair that were blown to her face by the wind. The girl yawned lazily, and her long hair was as long as red seaweed.

"Do you have classes later?" Nuonuo packed his books slowly and tilted his head to glance at Susie.

Susie shook her head. "No more." She said, "Tomorrow there is the last internal review. After passing it, there will be no problem. I have to prepare."

Those who have a good relationship with Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi have to undergo school review, regardless of whether they have been to Tokyo or what their background is.

There were only two people in the academy who were recognized as Lu Mingfei's best friends. One was Chu Zihang, and the other was the super repeater, Finger. Logically, these two guys should have received the most stringent scrutiny, but Chu Zihang was seriously injured in the Tokyo incident and has not recovered yet, and is still in Japan for rehabilitation training; while Finger didn't need to be scrutinized at all. The academy didn't even have time to conduct an inductive interrogation on him. They just took him into a small room, and this guy spilled out everything he knew, which was a perfect interpretation of the eight words "no bottom line and no moral integrity".

The interrogator from the executive department who was transferred from another place to Kassel College certainly wanted to torture Nono to extract a confession, but the Elders Council had put pressure on the college, and with the guarantee of the Chen family and their allies, the interrogation she received was not as harsh as imagined, especially after retesting her bloodline. The board of directors almost lost interest in Nono.

Su Si was completely implicated by Chu Zihang, but she didn't think there was any problem.

"Then let's go back to the dormitory together. I have something to think about... Ugh, cough, cough..." Nuo Nuo dry heaved halfway through his words, and then started coughing violently.

"Hey, hey, are you okay, girl? I told you to drink less but you wouldn't listen." Susie frowned, reached out and picked up Nuo Nuo's backpack and threw it on her back.

After returning to Kassel College from Tokyo, Nono behaved extremely silent and calm, except that he would get drunk every night and go to class as usual the next day.

"I'm fine." The red-haired witch looked up expressionlessly and picked up the bag again. "As a mixed-blood, you should understand the physical fitness of people like us. Alcohol can't hurt us. It's just a tool to numb our emotions."

Susie sighed. She knew that for mixed-bloods, a lethal dose of alcohol would at most cause them to black out, but the pain of a hangover was unavoidable.

"...Students, remember to hand in your homework in the next class. Those who haven't handed it in will be responsible for helping Professor Mans tidy up the library." Professor Guderian smiled and said to every student leaving the classroom.

Since he was seriously injured in the Kuimen operation, Professor Mans resigned from his job in the executive department and took charge of logistics, mainly guarding the library where many important materials were kept.

However, part of his body has been replaced with a prosthetic limb, so he inevitably has some difficulties in performing detailed work, so he often needs professors to organize students to help him organize materials.

"What did Chu Zihang tell you yesterday?" Nuonuo and Susie were the last to walk out. Susie sighed, "The Executive Department has given him a new mission. As the price of accepting the Nibelungen Plan, he must assist the Executive Department in hunting down Lu Mingfei... It should be within the next two months."

Because of the impact of his defection, a large part of Lu Mingfei's contributions to the academy were offset, including his great achievements in Kuimen, Sanxia, ​​killing the second generation, cooperating with Ange at Six Flags, and Caesar killing Norton. These have become entries and hyperlinks that only exist in historical materials.

All the rewards that the college had given out were taken back one by one as a revenge by the Board of Directors against the Elders Council for defending Nono.

The reason why Caesar accepted the Nibelungen Plan was that he had used a bullet made from the Philosopher's Stone to pierce Norton's heart at Six Flags. Chu Zihang was chosen entirely because of Lu Mingfei's contribution in the Dragon Slaying Operation.

Although the junior brother's achievements have not been completely erased from the history of dragon slaying, the academy has already drawn a clear line between itself and him. As a result, the Nibelungen Plan that Chu Zihang once accepted has become less legal.

It is understandable that the executive department used this as a threat to assign him the task.

However, both Nuonuo and Susie understood that although Chu Zihang had accepted the mission, he would never go all out to hunt down Lu Mingfei as the executive department hoped. On the contrary, he would be a great help to Lu Mingfei in his escape.

But doesn’t the school board know about this?

So what is their purpose in doing this?
Both of them seemed a little worried, but fortunately, after the news of Lu Mingfei's betrayal reached back to the academy, those who once had a close relationship with Lu Mingfei temporarily became the jinx that the students avoided, so no one came up to talk to them, and everyone was busy leaving the classroom in a hurry.

Professor Guderian cleared his throat as he passed the door.

Susie gave him a strange look, but they had no intention of stopping.

"Ahem!" Professor Guderian cleared his throat again.

"Professor, I heard that there was phlegm stuck in your throat when you coughed. It feels like bronchitis. It's better to go to the school clinic for an X-ray or something." The girls finally stopped and Susie reminded carefully.

"Student Chen Motong has been a little absent-minded in class recently. Don't leave yet. Let us go to the office and give you some special lessons." Professor Guderian pushed his glasses and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched.

Nuonuo was stunned for a moment and exchanged glances with Susie.

"I'll wait for you outside?" Susie asked
"Okay." Nuonuo handed the bag to Susie and thought for a moment, "I suddenly want to drink plum juice. Please help me go to the convenience store."

Professor Guderian, with his belly sticking out, led Nono into his office next to the lecture hall. The moment the solid wooden door was closed behind them, the old man suddenly looked shifty. He first trotted to the window to draw the curtains, then poked his head out through the gap between the curtains to look outside.

Nuo Nuo was chewing bubble gum, narrowing her eyes, and sitting down on the sofa opposite the desk.

On the other side, a beam of light from a watch had already scanned the entire office. When it scanned the left corner, it actually made a beeping sound. Professor Guderian moved a stool and stood on it, took off a monitoring device hidden in the corner and threw it into the trash can. "You just took that thing off, aren't you afraid that the school board will suspect you?" Nono asked.

"What's the big deal? We tenured professors all signed a confidentiality agreement when we joined the company. In the agreement, the college promised not to conduct any form of surveillance or eavesdropping in our private space." Guderian placed his briefcase against the table and sat down opposite Nono.

He had been hired as a tenured professor at the college at the end of last year, so he was able to get an office of his own next to this popular classroom.

"Tea or coffee?" Guderian asked.

"I guess you don't." Nono shrugged, and Guderian showed an embarrassed expression on his face.

He did not have the habit of preparing tea or coffee in the office. One reason was that his good friend Manstein's office was only separated from here by a wall. The other reason was that Professor Gu was not used to drinking those so-called healthy drinks. Coke and orange juice were his favorites.

"No need to beat around the bush, let's get straight to the point." Nuo Nuo shook her head, "Professor, you didn't keep me here just for a little extra tuition, did you? Is it because of Lu Mingfei?"

Guderian was horrified.

"Your acting skills aren't that bad, but of course they're not great either... It just so happens that my ability is profiling, and I can tell what you're trying to do through the subtle changes in your expression." Nuno blew a purple bubble, and her four-leaf clover earrings trembled.

"The vice-principal told me not to look down on anyone who is close to Lu Mingfei, but to be honest, I have never looked down on you... After all, I am one of the people who have a close relationship with him." Guderian fiddled with his sleeves, looking like a child who was too old.

There was a faint smell of muffins in the air. Apparently the old man had secretly had his afternoon tea while taking a walk after class.

Nuonuo let out a long breath, leaned forward, put both hands on the table, and supported her upper body. "What you want to say is definitely not just about Lu Mingfei, right? It's also about me?" She looked into Guderian's eyes.

"No wonder they call you a witch. You can't hide anything." Guderian said. He reached under the table and fumbled for a while. He actually found a white envelope with the red cross seal of the school medical department on it.

He opened the envelope and took out a medical examination form with the personal seal of the director of the school medical department. "You have already received your medical examination form, but I want to tell you that the form is actually a forgery. The vice-president commissioned the director of the school medical department to make it to deceive the board of directors." Guderian said.

"You are really being casual. If you fool the school board about this matter, you will get into big trouble if those guys find out. Of course, they dare not do anything to the vice president, but a newly hired tenured professor like you can be easily controlled."

"The worst that can happen is I'll be fired. Anyway, I still have the title of professor at Harvard University." Guderian became noticeably tougher when talking about Lu Mingfei.

"Why did you forge my check-up list? Is there something wrong with my bloodline?" Nono asked with a frown.

Guderian hesitated for a moment, then pushed the list across the table toward Nono: "Take a look for yourself."

Nuonuo changed to a more comfortable position and picked up the almost weightless paper from the table.

The girl's eyes swept from the top to the bottom. She was stunned at first, and then her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face silently. For the first time in many days, her cold little face showed such a huge emotional fluctuation.

But that was by no means a cry of pain or despair, but a feeling of being moved, just like a child who had never seen the sea stepping onto the beach for the first time and picking up shells one by one among the golden sand, or like a fledgling that had tried a thousand or ten thousand times to spread its wings in vain and finally could not fly against the strong wind, with the sound of the tide and the wind filling his ears.

The surging joy and the emotion that overflowed from the joy instantly broke down the solid barriers that Nono had built up against the academy for so many days.

In front of them was a test report.

The value of the first test item, "human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG]", was 59.85.

Nono had studied some female clinical physiology. In fact, almost everyone in the college had taken that course.

She knew exactly what this meant, and she didn't need Professor Guderian to remind her.

"Whether Ming Fei is a human or a dragon has not yet been discussed and determined, but I think no matter what angle you stand on, the school board will not let you and the child in your belly go." Guderian frowned, his face unusually serious, "I think this is also the reason why the head of the medical department chose to contact the Night Watch instead of the school board after receiving your test results."

Nuonuo wiped away her tears and clutched the test report tightly to her chest. Her eyes were red, she bit her lower lip tightly, and looked at Guderian stubbornly.

"Do many people know about this?" Her voice was still tearful.

"Just three." Guderian raised his right ring, index and middle fingers. He saw Nono's eyes and shuddered. "Don't think of killing people to silence them. I'll let it go, but the Night Watchman and the Minister of Medicine can't be touched."

"I'm leaving the college," Nono said. "I'm going to Oslo. The branch there is very small. I can avoid the surveillance of the board of directors by boarding any ocean liner."

"That's what the vice-president meant, but he wants you to go to West Africa, which is poor and backward, with underdeveloped information. All the surveillance methods that come with modern society are almost ineffective there," Professor Guderian said seriously.

Nuo Nuo shook his head: "Junior brother can't investigate the Far North right now. I can't be a burden to him. I'm going to help him do this."

"The Far North?" Guderian seemed to have heard a new term.

"You are so bad at lying, professor. There's an expression on your face that says 'Oh, it's the Far North, I knew it.'" Nono sniffed, and Guderian looked a little embarrassed.

"Mance asked me to investigate this thing, and there is also the Twilight Dogma. He doesn't want us to tell anyone else about this," he said.

"Anyway, I'm leaving in two days, so you have to get me a task assignment." Nuo Nuo pouted, still clutching the test report.

"I have to ask the vice-president for help... You know I am just a mascot in the academy..." Guderian is quite self-aware. (End of this chapter)
