Dragon Clan: Start by obtaining the Sett panel

Chapter 154: Hallucination? I don't believe it!

Su Xiaoqiang followed Ye Sheng to the conference room. It was empty. There was only a girl with a sweet smile sitting at the large conference table that could seat dozens of people. She was wearing the same uniform as Ye Sheng, but it was a suit with a rose-red lace scarf tucked into her collar.

There was a separate office behind the girl with the door ajar. Su Xiaoqiang's intuition told her that there should be another person inside, and that person might be the important person who could decide whether the 13 people stay or go in this interview.

"Hello, my name is Aki Sakura, and I am also the examiner this time." The girl stood up and bowed to Su Xiaoqiang in a typical Japanese style. After Su Xiaoqiang returned the greeting, she extended her hand and motioned Su Xiaoqiang to sit down.

"So shall we start?" Ye Sheng sat skillfully next to Jiude Aki, opened his notebook, and looked at Su Xiaoqiang who was already seated.

Su Xiaoqiang nodded. For this interview, she had specially asked her father to find some top students who graduated from Harvard to give her intensive training. She was confident that she could face all the tricky questions, but...

"Do you believe in aliens?" Shude Aki asked softly.

??? Su Xiaoqiang's expression was obviously a little dazed. She had thought of countless possibilities, but she had never thought that the examiner Jiude Aki would ask such a nonsensical question.

"Maybe... I believe it?" Su Xiaoqiang racked his brains and answered carefully.

"Then please tell me the reason." Shude Aki's expression was indifferent, as if there was nothing wrong with this question, just like a normal academic question.

"According to the information I have learned..." Su Xiaoqiang was a child from a wealthy family after all. He was stunned for a moment before reacting and started talking while sorting out the information in his mind.

"Well... okay, next question." Shude Aki interrupted Su Xiaoqiang while taking notes in her notebook. She had just talked about Area 51 in the United States where aliens were studied.

"Do you believe in people with super powers?"

"I believe it." This time Su Xiaoqiang answered unusually quickly, which surprised Jiude Aki, who was originally busy recording. She raised her head and looked at Su Xiaoqiang.

"why?"

"Because I have been saved twice by people with super powers... and he is also the person I like." After pausing for a while, Su Xiaoqiang chose to say what he had not said before, even though there were only two interviewers in front of him.

When ordinary people encounter a problem that they cannot solve, most of their thoughts are to escape. Although this is not the way to solve the problem, it at least makes people feel psychologically that they have entered a safe zone that they can control.

But escape is not without cost. The feeling of regret will follow you until you let it go completely. Obviously, Su Xiaoqiang can't do it now, so she has been struggling between escape and facing it for so long, and finally chose to fight again.

"What a surprising answer." Shude Aki spoke after thinking for a moment.

"Excuse me for asking, you are secretly in love with me, right?" Ye Sheng suddenly interrupted. He seemed to see some differences in the girl from the previous interviewees, and she was very similar to himself in the past.

"Well, it was indeed a secret crush... He was my former classmate, and at the beginning I only contacted him for the sake of face." Su Xiaoqiang said softly.

"At that time, there was another boy in the school who was excellent in all aspects, similar to him. Many girls in the class liked that boy, just like chasing stars. Maybe it was my desire to win, or maybe I thought blindly following the trend was not in line with my life creed, so I chose to contact him."

"At that time, I thought: If the boy I chose is better than the ones they chose in every aspect, does that mean that he is not only more handsome than them, but also has better vision than them?" Su Xiaoqiang smiled as he recalled this.

"In fact, my judgment is correct. Although he looks a bit fierce, he is much more approachable than that boy. He is even sometimes gentler than his muscular body. He always speaks softly to his mother and sometimes feeds stray cats after boxing practice."

"At that time, I didn't realize that my emotions had gradually changed. Instead, I always thought that only a boy like this could be my friend...until later, another girl appeared and gave me a great sense of crisis. At the same time, during this period, I discovered his unknown secret."

"Is there a secret that he is a person with super powers?" Shude Aki frowned and asked.

"That's right. He could have hidden like this forever, but in order to save me, he exposed his abilities twice. At the same time, the girl's offensive became more and more intense. I realized that I was drifting away from him, but I backed off at this time." Su Xiaoqiang's voice was a little low.

"Normal people will retreat when they meet someone with super powers. It's not your fault." Ye Sheng comforted Su Xiaoqiang in a soft voice.

"I thought so too, but that girl was different. Not only did she not back down, but she chose to stand with him. From that moment on, I knew I had lost, completely."

"It sounds like the failed crush that everyone experiences during adolescence. So why did you choose to talk about it during the interview? Haven't you given up yet?" Ye Sheng continued to ask.

"I was originally ready to give up. He and that girl had a good relationship. However... he went to Kassel and the girl stayed in Yanjing. That's why I came here." At this moment, there seemed to be a stubborn flame flickering in Su Xiaoqiang's eyes.

"Let's stop chatting here. Now for the last question... Do you think the basis of human existence is idealism, spirit and soul, or materialism, matter and body?" asked Aki Shude.

"If a person has no soul and spiritual persistence, then how different is he from a corpse? He is nothing more than a walking corpse that can eat." Su Xiaoqiang replied. "I understand... Thank you for your interest in Kassel College." Jiude Aki closed his notebook, stood up and extended his hand to Su Xiaoqiang.

What does this mean? Are you rejecting me? Su Xiaoqiang bit his lips unwillingly and hesitated to hold her hand.

"Do you have any other questions, Su Xiaoqiang?" Jude Aki asked.

"The reason you ask these questions is because Kassel College specializes in recruiting talents like this, right?" Su Xiaoqiang suddenly spoke.

"I know Chu Zihang and Gu Ye have special abilities, so we went to Kassel together. When we were in the first year of high school at the aquarium, Chu Zihang also told Gu Ye that Kassel would come to clean up the mess. In other words... the purpose of your recruitment this time is to find the next talent like Gu Ye and his friends."

"Zhao Menghua and the others definitely can't be the one, so the most likely one should be Lu Mingfei, right?" Su Xiaoqiang remembered Lu Mingfei's sudden superman-like reaction speed in the aquarium before, and his fleeting golden eyes.

"I'm sorry, your story is wonderful, but we can only listen to it because your feelings are sincere. You have already graduated from high school... What I mean is, it's time to wake up from your chuunibyou." Ye Sheng said in a flat tone.

"You are lying! I know everything. There is no need to hide it from me. Gu Ye and I have a good relationship. I won't tell anyone." Su Xiaoqiang looked at the two of them stubbornly and turned his gaze to the half-open door.

"There has been eyes staring at me from the beginning. Gu Ye should be here, right? Why don't you come out to see me? Do you think what I just said was just a story?" Su Xiaoqiang spoke loudly to the door, his eyes like a drowning person grabbing the last straw.

Click! The door opened, and the sound of high heels came. A red-haired girl came out. Unlike the two interviewers, she was dressed very simply, in a pair of tight jeans, a white vest, a blue vertical striped short shirt, and a baseball cap on her head.

"It seems that our classmate is a little too nervous. Maybe the interview brought too much pressure. He should go back and have a good rest." Chen Motong said while chewing gum.

The light in Su Xiaoqiang's eyes dimmed, as if Ikaros, the Sun Chaser, was finally about to get close to the sun, but his wings were melting in front of him, feeling desperate.

The feeling of seeing hope shattered before one's eyes was not pleasant, and what Shude Aki said next made her feel extremely cruel.

"Kassel College is just an ordinary university. Junior Gu Ye has not shown any extraordinary abilities in school. Maybe you should take some time to check if you are hallucinating because of the excessive pressure in high school."

Is that so? Su Xiaoqiang hesitated. After Gu Ye left, she went back to the aquarium. It was brand new, as if nothing had happened before. The beluga whales were cute and lively. Even the man who kidnapped her was just a gambler who lost a lot of money in the news reports.

But she perked up again after just a moment. Hallucination? I don't believe it! Although all this was hidden very well, it was because it was too perfect that Su Xiaoqiang felt that there must be something wrong. After all, it was such an academy. How could it be hidden from ordinary people without public relations skills?
"I'll take you out. Go back and have a good rest. It's easy to have some fantasies when you have a crush on someone. I once fantasized that I was the prince charming who saved her." Ye Sheng glanced at Jiude Aki, then turned around and spoke to Su Xiaoqiang.

"No, I can leave by myself... But even if you deny it, I won't give up. At least... I want to meet Gu Ye in person until I hear him say that he doesn't like me." Su Xiaoqiang rejected Ye Sheng's proposal, raised his head, turned around and walked towards the gate in a cool manner, as proud as ever.

"Oh wow~ It looks like our S-class is really popular~" Chen Motong spoke in a teasing tone, looking at the door that was still ajar.

"How could the academy make such a principled mistake? Didn't they ask the executive department to hypnotize her?" Shude Aki frowned and spoke.

“Junior brother Gu Ye hadn’t enrolled at that time, so he didn’t know about this normal process,” Ye Sheng explained.

"That's Liu Yao and the others' problem. It should still be in time to make amends now. I'll notify them right away..."

"No need, she won't tell anyone, believe me." Gu Ye's voice finally sounded from the office.

"Junior brother Gu Ye, even if you are S-level, we are still interviewers now. I believe you are clear now why Kassel Academy cannot be exposed to the sight of ordinary people?" Jiude Aki stopped his hand that was about to make a phone call.

"In order to prevent ordinary people from panicking... I am very clear about this matter. I was selfish in this matter and it has nothing to do with Liu Yao and the others. If the academy has any punishment, I will accept it. Just leave it to me to handle it." Gu Ye spoke after a pause.

"I understand." Jude Aki nodded and looked at Ye Sheng.

"Then call the next person."

"Well, I still have to remind Junior Brother Gu Ye that she is not a mixed-blood, and it is not a good thing for her to know too much, and... we should try not to get entangled with ordinary people." Ye Sheng said.

"Well, don't worry... I know what I'm doing."

"I'm glad you understand. I'll let the next person in. Time is tight, so we'd better hurry up and interview Lu Mingfei." Ye Sheng said and left the meeting room.
