"Games start!"
Ten thousand square meters, one-tenth of the area of Kassel's Central Square. Following the referee's order, some uneven pedals and steps fell from the sky, turning the originally flat ground into irregular ones. It's like a parkour room with staggered heights.
The three teams were positioned in a triangle shape and appeared at the edge of the game field.
Gu Bei... No, the referee should be called now.
The referee in a red cloak sat high in the sky, and his voice was carried away by the wind and sent to everyone's ears.
"Now we see that several teams on the field have all set off. They seem to have adopted the same strategy. They invariably sprayed all the open spaces in front of them with friendly colors. It seems that they all know the rules of this game very well. Well, seizing enough territory is the key to this game! However, is this game really as simple as it looks?"
Everyone in the audience cheered. Some were shouting that Master Gattuso must win, some were shouting that Chu Zihang was so handsome, some were p, and some saw Nono and Susie and thought about what to do. Only then can I throw a hat on the heads of the Student Council President and Acting Lionheart President...
Why is there bt everywhere?
Also, that guy over there who yelled "Buy it and let me go", get over here, why do you look so familiar to me... Damn you, you must be Fingel's paparazzi!
The scene was once very chaotic.
Sitting in the special seat, Manstein folded his arms and looked at the game in progress: "We should be on duty in the central control room now, instead of watching this kind of game with unknown meaning here. Moreover, this time we have a free day. The funding was provided by the Gattuso family. It is difficult for me to explain to Director Frost that your student turned the square into this state."
"He has his own sense of control. If it doesn't work, you can just hand him over to Frost. He will find a way on his own. But if you are sure you want to do this, be careful about the position of your tenured professor. Maybe It will be transferred to Guderian by Principal Angers."
Guderian, who was watching the excitement happily, detected the keyword and turned around: "Tenured professor? Is it for me?"
The two of them ignored him in a very tacit agreement.
At this time, another professor from the side came over.
He doesn't look young anymore. With his gray hair and beard, he looks like Angers who is over a hundred years old.
Like Angers, he also wore a crisp black suit.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, but in fact, because of the superb bloodline brought by blood, the appearance of mixed-races is very good. This makes most clothes affected by the wearer. The same clothes can be worn by two people. There will also be two feelings,
Just like Angers, no matter what kind of clothes he wears, even a solemn black suit for a funeral, he can only turn into a slutty outfit for a cocktail party.
After all, Angers is such a wasteful person.
The professor in front of him seemed to be a replica of Angers. The black suit on him gave people a completely different flavor from Angers.
Capable, sophisticated and meticulous. ….
All similar adjectives can be applied to this white-haired middle-aged professor.
Mans Rundstedt, many people in the college will secretly call him the shadow of the principal, because he is more like a shadow than the dissolute principal Angers and the unreliable vice principal Night Watch. Qualified College Principal.
In fact, this is indeed the case. For Cassel College, there are two main decision-makers, namely the principal and the vice-principal. However, these two never take care of anything. The former basically travels around the country if he doesn't have anything important to do. The reason is to search for traces of the Dragon King's resurrection, not to mention the latter.
As a result, these decision-making matters fell down and were shared between two people.
One of them is the college secretary Norma, who has an invincible host and super computing power, and is responsible for handling some formulaic content. The other is Professor Mance, who is responsible for some human relations and diplomacy.
In Kassel, the principal did
, Professor Mance did what the principal did not do, Professor Mance also did.
He seems to be more worthy of the position of principal than the old man who travels around the world every day and the cowboy who sits in the bell tower drinking and watching movies.
But it's a pity that Kassel is a mixed-race college.
Angers is nominally the strongest hybrid in the world. In terms of hierarchy, he is also the only one who can be on an equal footing with the school board. As the principal, Cassel will not be manipulated by the school board at will.
Although the Night Watchmen do not have a very impressive record, the S-level commandments alone are enough to explain some problems. Even if they are lacking in status, Flamel's surname can make up for all shortcomings.
If this person becomes the vice-principal, no one will raise objections.
On the contrary, no matter how outstanding Mance's ability is and how well he manages the college, once he really becomes the principal, it is time for Cassel to fall.
Mance himself knew this.
Therefore, even though everyone in the college respected him, he never thought of taking Angers' position, and even a nominal assistant position to the principal was rejected by him.
After all, these things are not what he cares about.
Mance came to the trio of professors and greeted them: "Schneider, Manstein, Guderian, you three are still the same."
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
Guderian rushed up and gave Mance a big hug, and the other two people nodded in greeting.
Mance is very respected in Cassel College. Even professors of the same rank are very polite in front of him. It is rare for Guderian to hug him. After all, not every professor is like this. Off the line... Although Mance's personality is relatively generous, he actually doesn't care about this kind of formality.
Mance hugged Guderian, and then stood with the trio of professors.
"It really hasn't been this lively in a long time."
Mance looked up at the game field. Several people inside were cautiously exploring forward while spraying paint on the surrounding ground and walls. The auditorium was filled with energetic faces, shouting loudly and laughing. , people can’t help but start recalling their own teenage years. ….
In fact, Professor Manns also graduated from Kassel College, and was a student of their class who led the founding of Freedom Day.
Now that I think about it, it was decades ago.
Time flies, and now Mance is just a middle-aged man with countless white hairs on his head. He will soon catch up with Angers, who is more than a hundred years old.
He has worked hard for Cassel and has worked hard for half his life for the cause of dragon slaying, but he doesn't know how many more half lives he has left.
Manstein did not answer the call, because many activities in the college were not approved, and he was basically obstructing them.
In fact, Manstein did not hate some lively activities among students. On the contrary, he was very supportive and enjoyed the atmosphere. However, as the chairman of the Discipline Committee, he had to strictly abide by his profession.
Schneider's expression softened a little. After Gu Bei's treatment, his body was now able to complete some autonomous activities that were not difficult, and his lungs, which had been eroded to the point of being useless, also showed some signs of recovery.
Gu Bei said that it only takes a few more treatments to make a complete recovery, but the treatment cycle will be very long.
In contrast, Schneider had no idea. There was one thing he said: There was hope for recovery. This was something Schneider could not even think about before. However, the appearance of Gu Bei broke his cognition. Now his body has initially recovered to that of an ordinary person. To the extent that you can barely breathe normally even without the help of machines.
Now he has no regrets. If I insist on saying so, it is probably because he has not yet avenged the students who were buried in the sea of ice.
I heard that someone recently restarted the Greenland mission and submitted a mission report. Maybe he should go take a look. If possible, he could serve as an accompanying professor for this mission.
Of course, it's best to bring along the precious student you just accepted, so that you can be considered foolproof.
When he thought of Gu Bei and his mysterious and mysterious method called magic, Schneider felt his blood boiling for revenge, and he felt a little relieved.
Even though he didn't teach this student anything.
"With that guy here, Kassel will continue to be so lively."
Schneider said.
Manstein glanced at him without comment. In his opinion, the S-class freshman named Gu Bei was a complete loser. Naturally, he, who was in charge of the college's finances, would not look down upon him favorably.
However, Mance looked at Schneider in surprise. In his impression, few people could get such a high evaluation from Schneider, which made him curious about who "that guy" Schneider was talking about.
But Schneider and Manstein obviously didn't mean to say anything, Guderian...
Forget it, it's better to guess it yourself than ask him.
But he had nothing to ask Guderian, but Guderian had something to ask him: "Professor Mance, you haven't been in the college for so long. Did you go on some mission?"
The air suddenly stopped.
Although the students around them were still furious, and although the referee's explanation was echoing in their ears, the four professors still fell into a speechless situation.
Guderian was just out of line, but it didn't mean that he couldn't see clearly the form. According to his experience, this situation now should be called - dignified. ….
The mission of Kassel College has always been a heavy topic.
Because these missions are always dying.
Go and fight against all the deadpools who kill wantonly, clean up some criminal hybrids, and fight against the awakened dragons.
These innate missions that accompany every hybrid in life always bring death.
Students, bosses, colleagues, friends...
How many people around you stay on a certain mission forever?
Several people present had more or less experienced this kind of thing, so they rarely talked about this issue, but they didn't expect Guderian to blurt it out directly.
Mance also knew that Guderian didn't mean it. He was silent for a moment and grinned: "Actually, it's nothing. Some time ago, Norma detected strange heartbeat fluctuations from the Three Gorges in China through satellites, so I took people over to take a look. It depends on the situation."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding air dropped by another degree in an instant, and the three of them all turned their attention to the source of this cold air - Von Schneider.
He was sitting there, but it seemed as if his whole body had sunk into a piece of icy sea water. The biting coldness penetrated into his bones and slowly penetrated into his lungs.
The team led by Schneider went to detect a heartbeat and then stayed on the seabed there forever.
The mission files of Operation Greenland Ice Sea have been sealed from beginning to end. This kind of thing is not a matter of confidentiality. The sealed information and plans are always some shameful things, so even if Mance's authority in the academy is second only to the principal And the vice principal, there is no way to know the secret.
Schneider felt the surroundings getting colder and colder, until a voice came in and broke his thoughts: "This is inevitable, the fate of hybrids."
The scene in front of Schneider's eyes was shattered for an instant. He looked towards the place where the sound came from, and the other three people also followed his gaze.
At some point, a man dressed as a cowboy sat next to them. His attire was similar to that of Jalli Guber, wearing a plaid shirt, a rolled-brimmed hat, and a pair of cowboy boots with bright spurs. of.
None of them knew when this person sat here, or that he had been sitting here from the beginning.
"Vice-Principal!" The three professors saluted quickly. Even if they didn't mention the identity of the other vice-president, just saying Nicholas Flamel's name was enough to make people respectful.
"dad!?
Different from the surprise of the three professors, Manstein's title seemed to be more unique and a little too unexpected.
Guderian seems to have only now realized that half of his generation
My friend’s father was the legendary Night Watchman, and he was shocked: “What? Oh! The Night Watchman is your father!? Why didn’t I know that?”
After saying that, he looked at Manstein with an expression as if he was separated by a thick barrier.
Manstein didn't bother to brush up his treasures with him, so he hit Guderian on the head with his fist.
Guderian, I can’t get back up again.
The night watchman didn't pay attention to everyone's performance. He first said to Schneider in a comforting tone: "Destroying dragons is our mission. No one will die as they should, but we can't escape. We can only accept or accept it." Resist the damn fate, you can also resist the fate now, but you may not be strong enough."
After saying that, he looked at Mance on the other side: "Welcome back, it looks like your survey of the Three Gorges went smoothly."
"not bad……"
Mance seemed to hesitate, and then made up his mind: "Actually, we have detected the specific source of the heartbeat, but he is in an ancient city made of bronze. Maybe we need to prepare for a second exploration."
After hearing this, the night watchman nodded, shook his head, and then said without any trace: "The flood season of the Three Gorges is coming soon."
Mance understood. The night watchman was saying that the second survey would be postponed to next year, after the flood season of the Three Gorges has passed.
He nodded and said no more.
Manstein, who had tidied up Guderian, stood up and said, "You're not drinking in the bell tower, how come you have time to come out?"
The night watchman looked at his son, his face stiffened for a moment, and then said: "I saw another path to alchemy, which is a brand new future."
As he spoke, he looked towards the enclosed game field.
The cheers of the audience are still loud and the firecrackers are blasting, but the sound here seems to have been specially processed. Only the audience can hear the referee's explanation, and the players can't even hear the cheers of the audience. Nono watched The audience was so excited and excited that it was as if they were watching a mime.
Chaplin couldn't help but admire the superb acting skills of these actors.
Nono looked at Susie who appeared opposite him and secretly said something bad. .
Fat orange who can’t eat enough
