Chapter 16 Courage is the sharpest knife
“There are three things in life that are hard to avoid: death, taxes, and exams.”

"It's the 3E exam. Lu Mingfei was stunned. "What about him?"

"Let's give him a make-up exam when he comes back," Finkel said. "After all, there's no getting away from this."

"Whether it's a mule or a horse, you'll know after taking it out for a walk."

"But I feel like I'm a mule," said Lu Mingfei.

"I didn't say you were a horse?" Finkel added.

Late the next night,
The tugboat Moniah was teetering in a storm in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

It was pitch black all around, with only the lights on the ship illuminating the surroundings.

"Rumble--"

With a loud bang, lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the darkness.

Ye Yang stood in the cabin, his face changing between light and darkness.

The students of Kassel College were lying on their comfortable beds, tossing and turning in preparation for tomorrow's classes.

The operation code-named "Kuimen Plan" has been launched silently.

As we all know, it is extremely inappropriate to carry out water operations under severe weather conditions.

Normally, a ship should seek shelter from the wind like its companions.

However, the current wind force has reached level eight and is still continuing to strengthen, and is expected to reach level ten.

It would be wise to wait until this storm passes.

In theory, this is correct.

But matters of slaying a dragon often do not follow common sense.

In such strong winds and huge waves, all ships will choose to take shelter from the harbor.

As a result, no other ships will sail up the Yangtze River.

This means that Kassel College’s actions here today will not be known to the outside world.

The fundamental purpose of slaying the dragon is to maintain world peace.

Dragons in nature, as beings hidden in the long river of history, should not have been discovered by the world.

Even if it means we have to take many unknown risks.

It is for this reason that the appearance of the tugboat "Moniah" in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River today, in such a harsh environment, has a reasonable explanation.

Obviously, Kassel College would not put professors and students at risk for no reason.

The name "Moniah" is just a cover-up to confuse the outside world.

In fact, the Moniah is a warship, a powerful ship that can withstand a force 12 storm. For it, force wind and waves are just a small test. Standing by the front window of the cockpit is an old man.

He held a cigar in his mouth, and as the smoke rose, the unique spicy smell of the cigar spread throughout the cabin. Facing the eight-force gale, the river was turbulent and the boat was swaying like a toy.

Even in such violent shaking, he still stood as steady as a rock.

He is Professor Mans Rundstedt, the commander of the operation and the captain of the ship.

Even though he smoked cigar after cigar, he still couldn't dispel the boredom in his heart.

This storm reminded him of the Greenland Sea more than ten years ago, when there was also a storm and the same mission was being carried out.

That was a past that was too painful to recall.

Bad weather and unhappy memories were not the only reasons for his bad mood.

There was another reason, which was that before the mission was carried out, the principal forcibly stuffed a person into his team.

Having many members is not a bad thing.

but,

The situation would be completely different if one of the members was a freshman who had just enrolled and had received no training at all.

Even if he has S-level bloodline.

Indeed, the level of bloodline is an important factor in determining individual ability, but this will only become apparent after the individual has fully grown and received systematic training from the academy.

Professor Mans Rundstedt believes that the role that a freshman can play is very limited.

"Mance, courage is the sharpest weapon for slaying dragons." Ange said on the other end of the phone, "And this student is the one who has the most courage."

This is also the reason why Professor Mans Rundstedt finally agreed to let the student join.

"Wow--!"

The sound of a baby crying came from the rear cabin, interrupting Professor Mans Rundstedt's thoughts.

"We can't let him keep crying."

"Will there be no one to take care of the baby?"

Professor Mans Rundstedt seemed somewhat helpless.

The cockpit was filled with noise. The first officer, second officer, third officer, and the safety officer in charge of monitoring were all there.

These elites selected from Kassel Academy are fully aware of their responsibilities.

But taking care of a baby was a challenge they had never faced before.

Kassel College does not teach such courses!

"Professor, we are not married yet, how can we possibly understand these things?" replied the young girl sitting in front of the monitor.

The girl was young, in her twenties, had black hair, and was wearing a combat uniform custom-made by Kassel Academy.

Her name is Selma, she is from Latin America and is a security officer in charge of surveillance.

Professor Mans Rundstedt could only scratch his head helplessly.

Selma was right, he really couldn't expect these bachelors to have the skills to take care of babies.

The baby's crying suddenly stopped.

The only sounds on the boat were the howling of the wind and the heavy rain hitting the hull.

This seems very unusual.

Professor Mans Rundstedt's heart tightened and he immediately turned and walked towards the rear cabin.

However, before he took two steps, he saw someone walking into the cockpit.

The man was about 1.8 meters tall and was holding a laughing baby in his arms.

It seems that being in that person's arms is the safest haven.

Even if it is windy and rainy outside, it will not affect the baby at all.

Witnessing this scene, Professor Mans Rundstedt couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a brother or sister who is just one month old?"

Ye Yang shook his head honestly.

Professor Mans Rundstedt looked at Ye Yang with a hint of confusion and surprise in his eyes.

He did not expect that such a warm scene would appear on this stormy night.

He looked at the baby in Ye Yang's arms, then looked at Ye Yang again, trying to find the answer from his face.

"How did you do it?" asked Professor Mans Rundstedt, with a hint of curiosity and respect in his voice.

Ye Yang smiled, his eyes full of tenderness and love.

"I didn't do anything, I just hugged him and made him feel safe and warm."

Ye Yang said, "Sometimes, we need not only courage, but also tenderness and care."

Professor Mans Rundstedt was silent for a while, then nodded. He looked at Ye Yang, as if he saw something he once had but had not seen for a long time.

He took a deep breath and said, "Ye Yang, you remind me of myself back then. At that time, I also had such courage and tenderness."

Ye Yang smiled and looked at Professor Mans Rundstedt as if he was looking at an old friend.

“Professor, we were all beginners once and we all needed to learn and grow.

At this time, the storm outside the ship seemed to have weakened, and the lightning in the sky became sparse. People in the cockpit gathered around,

Looking at the baby in Ye Yang's arms, they all showed warm smiles on their faces.

Key.

This name is the name of the baby in Ye Yang's arms.

The origin of this name is because of the child's special abilities.

His words are called "keys".

Possesses the ability to open any door in the world.

On this ship that is about to carry out the "Kuimen Plan" and whose goal is to attack the lair of Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, who may be one of the four great kings, no one is useless.

Even if he is just a baby who needs to be nursed.

The "key" is a hybrid.
And it is a mixed-race with extremely high bloodline.

His bloodline level even exceeds Chu Zihang's A level.

Because of his noble bloodline,
He will never be able to grow up and will always be a baby who needs to be breastfed.

The higher the proportion of dragon blood, the more unstable the bloodline.

When you gain power, you often have to pay a price.

The price of the "key" is his growth.

This is also the reason why, after decades, Kassel Academy finally waited for a new student with S-level bloodline.

"Is this the effect of the S-level bloodline?"
