If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

The black shadow runs in the opera house, hiding in the shadow of light, like an owl that cuts through the night sky through the cover of dark clouds. His wings are the sharp blades in his hands, cutting human limbs like bird wings. After opening the clouds and mist, he shuttled indifferently and ruthlessly, and only a few mist rose up behind him, not even touching his light feathers.

The video of the last encounter of the secret mixed-breed team "Omega" was played on the screen. The executioner was as cold as a pork-cutting machine in a factory. The heavy blade fell with a clang, and the pig bones and pork were smashed together. Half of the time, the incision was smooth without any stubble. Anyone in the industry would be impressed by this highly efficient method of cutting people, because of the executioner's technique and his extremely cold heart.

In the office of the head of the executive department, there is still a sea of ​​piles of documents. Schneider is sitting in his special chair behind the desk, with his elbows on the table, and the fingers of both hands are pressed together. Only the index finger and thumb are straightened and slightly joined together. His gaze passed from the top of his two index fingers to Lin Nian, who was sitting very loosely across the table.

Opposite the desk, Lin Nian was lying on a chair with his legs open casually. His left hand was clasped in front of his chest, supporting his chin with his right hand slightly covering his mouth. He tilted his head and looked at the PAD standing on the table in boredom. Surveillance video of the Wuni Opera House being played here.

The video lasts for five minutes from beginning to end. The picture quality is very blurry and is interspersed with slow playback and playback. When the video ended and the sound and picture stopped together, and there was half a minute of silence in the minister's office, Lin Nian slowly raised his eyes to Minister von Schneider's face that would give people nightmares at first glance. explain:

"What?"

"What_what?" Schneider asked.

"What, okay, I don't want to say three whats in a row." Lin Nian raised his head and moved his right hand that was holding his face into a tiger's mouth slightly stuck on his chin, showing a helpless expression, "Is there anything suspicious about this surveillance video? Or is it? Are there enemies at the scene that I haven’t finished killing yet?”

"This is something the school board sent to the executive branch," Schneider said, "but they didn't say anything beyond that."

"It's very school board style. They do some inexplicable things and let people guess. What is this, disguised pressure? If it's pressure, they should send me nude photos and videos of me taking a shower, not videos of me working hard. ." Lin Nian said.

"Perhaps they are worried about your mental condition? Although you are a rare 'S' class and you have proven your controllability in battle, you are still only a seventeen-year-old minor. In the United States, you can't even drink, but you are already running for the purpose of the secret party. Facts have proved that if you continue like this, your mental state is likely to deviate from normal." Schneider said lightly.

"Well, the school board is worried about my mental condition. It sounds reasonable and heartwarming. It reminds me that in addition to being capitalists and careerists, they also have an educator's skin." Lin Nian smiled sarcastically. If he said this to the outside world, he might get into trouble, but now this is the executive department. As we all know, although the executive department is the knife of the school board, the knife will get rusty and chipped if it is used too much. Once it is not maintained properly, the reverse will happen. The accumulated complaints and anger are staggering.

Just like the workers who are at loggerheads with their bosses, the Executive Department is the organization in Kassel College that likes to quarrel with the school board of directors.

"You are indeed still young. You only turned seventeen this year."

"I'm seventeen years old, and my birthday is in May." Lin Nian corrected.

"Then I wish you a happy birthday." Schneider said lightly. Lin Nian couldn't see any blessing from his face. Moreover, the minister himself was terrifying enough. Even if he came out to hand over Lin Nian's birthday, If you give him a piece of cake, he will also wonder if there is a gun hidden in the cake. The first bullet in the magazine is made of red crystal.

"My birthday has already passed, or I didn't think about it at all, so I just had something to eat with my sister." Lin Nian said casually.

"There is also Mandy Gonzalez, a former junior who has the same advisor as you and a senior this year. If I remember correctly, she should also have appeared at your birthday party." Schneider said.

"Are you monitoring her so carefully? She just came here to have a meal, so she must be included in it?" Lin Nian rubbed his eyebrows. Although he knew that his every move in the academy would be watched by people, he still I didn't expect to be observed so carefully.

"It's obvious that she's not here to cheat, because people who cheat don't carry around a birthday gift that they've prepared for a long time." Schneider said, "You should also have received a gift from her."

"A few collector's edition discs of PS3 games. Hey, Minister Schneider, are we here specifically to discuss these?" Lin Nian rubbed his temples a little harder.

He didn't really like chatting with Schneider in the same room, and he probably wouldn't like to do it. The head of the execution department was always straightforward, cold and domineering to death, and he was also outspoken about the attention and surveillance of the execution department towards Lin Nian. On the contrary, he I am very interested to see how Lin Nian will react after knowing this.

"Let's get down to business. The school board is very dissatisfied with your loss of control in the last mission. It accuses your personal behavior of causing immeasurable losses to the entire secret party, so it orders the executive department to punish you as a mark of respect. ." Schneider nodded and said.

"What did I do?" Lin Nian also followed Schneider's example and crossed his index finger and thumb at a ninety-degree angle, looking at the ceiling. "The dangerous alchemy items that were artificially gathered together were successfully seized, and the illegal gathering was caught. Now, everyone with knowledge of the matter has also been controlled by the Department of Psychology, the bad guys have been caught by me, and even some mixed-race families have been severely gutted by the secret party. It seems like a happy situation for everyone? I thought the school board of directors was happy. They will give me a salary increase."

"Are you in such a hurry for a salary increase? Have you used up all the savings from previous tasks?" Schneider looked at Lin Nian, the iron-gray eyes without any emotion.

"Used up." Lin Nian answered calmly.

"That's a lot of money."

"I bought a building in my hometown."

"The number doesn't seem to be that big yet." Schneider raised his eyes and seemed to be very aware of China's housing prices.

Lin Nian tilted his head as if he had found something to laugh about inexplicably. He lowered his head and shook his head, "It's just an unfinished building. It's not worth anything, but it's worth some money."

"How you spend your money is your business. The execution department has no right to interfere, and no one can criticize your spending habits." Schneider nodded.

"After all, there was a principal in front of me to protect me from the knife. I heard that the principal went on a trip at public expense some time ago and posted photos on the forum. Spring in Venice is no worse than summer. There are petals and girls in the water. reflection." Lin Nian said casually.

"Then you also know that the principal went to Portofino?" Schneider said. He put the pad down on the table and dragged the progress bar with one hand. At a certain point, there was a scene of Lin Nian knocking over a glass jar and stabbing a leech in, "This is for the school board meeting that was convened in advance for your last mission."

"Portofino? ​​Where is the mysterious school board?" Lin Nian glanced at the blood-red faces on the screen that were spread out on the floor of the opera house.

"This is not the point." Schneider said, "The point is that there is a very powerful school director in this school board meeting who is very dissatisfied with your behavior. He even had a conflict with the principal during the meeting. This video is also The school director later produced 'evidence', and the principal had some trouble with him because of this."

"Is there a fight?" Lin young man smiled, took out a black steel dagger from somewhere, and turned it around in his hand.

"Unfortunately, no." Schneider said. Lin Nian, who was across the table, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glanced at his minister, but there was still no emotion on his worried face.

"Can you tell me the name of the school director who targeted me?" Lin Nian asked.

"What are you going to do when you find out?"

"If I'm lucky enough to attend a school board meeting in the future, I will throw a knife at his head the moment he targets me." Lin Nian grabbed the tip of the dagger and gently twisted the thin blade with his thumb and index finger. Clear fingerprints were left on it.

"The school director believes that you are mentally immature and prone to excessive behavior, leading to heavy losses. He also raised several doubts about how you clearly deviated from your original trajectory during the last mission. For example, you disappeared into Norma and the logistics department for half a day. When you reappeared, you were already in the center of the city, but your Mercedes-Benz appeared in the wilderness and was badly damaged. It was obvious that you had gone through a battle, but no one knew I don’t know who you fought.” Schneider said hoarsely, “Do you have any explanation for this?”

"No explanation, I crashed the car." Lin Nian raised his head and said.

"Very good, there is no need to collude, because the principal also explained it to you at the presbytery meeting." Schneider nodded.

"Oh?" Lin Nian was a little surprised.

"The principal's exact words were 'Hey, he's only 17 years old and doesn't have a driver's license yet. So what if he's a mixed race? You have to crash if you have to. I don't have a driver's license, so I crash a lot, which explains why I There's always a new car in his garage, either an Aston Martin or a Maserati.'"

Lin Nian laughed out loud.

Although Schneider's face was expressionless when retelling, and his tone was very dull and indifferent, he still couldn't help but touch his lips and imagine Angers' casual joking tone at that time. The school director who sang opposite him probably had a blood pressure of New high, can the blood flower shoot directly through the roof by cutting the aorta?

"The school director immediately proposed that you need to be trained systematically in the future, and suggested that you, the 'S' level, be placed in an institution specially established by the school board for training. Your every move, every mission, and every time you go out will be Actions must be strictly limited to the direct instructions of the school board, not the executive department under the control of the college, they want your absolute control order," Schneider added.

After saying that, he stared at Lin Nian's eyes, hoping to see some extreme emotions, such as anger and anger, but unfortunately he got nothing. Lin Nian was seen sitting on the chair with a playful expression, tossing the dagger, as if he was thinking about something else.

"It's a very thoughtful idea, but it's too open-minded, which makes some people doubt his real purpose."

After that, Lin Nian stopped the disturbing little action of throwing the dagger, and began to lower his head and rub the blade with his nails to scrape out a little bit of powder, "There is a thinker and educator in China who once said a truth. He said that if a room is too dark, If you need to open a window, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will mediate and be willing to open the window."

"You are very smart, and I like your intelligence." Schneider nodded, "Because it will make the next words much easier to say."

"What does that school director want to do?"

"Push you out, as the new face of the college in the next few decades, use the dominance of super hybrids to gather hybrid forces from all over the world to expand the secret party's financial, military, civil, and other aspects around the world. It will give the secret party a shot in the arm in the future, so that it can more quickly promote some of the big plans that the school director has on his mind." Schneider said, "For example, sending a satellite loaded with space-based mobile weapons into the sky requires The military has absolute right of passage, and the military power is in the hands of another group of families. If you want them to cooperate with the Secret Party, you need to let them see the Secret Party's promising future and powerful tactics."

"I am not the only one with an 'S' grade, the principal is also an 'S' grade, and I feel that the principal is too strong on me in terms of personal charm." Lin Nian said.

"There are things about the 17-year-old 'S' class and the 131-year-old 'S' class that are worthy of careful study by those wavering forces." Schneider said, "Don't underestimate yourself."

"I know the purpose of the school board, but I don't know what they want to do specifically, and I don't want to know, because it seems that the principal rejected them in the end," Lin Nian said.

"I have attended a school board meeting before, but I was just a spectator." Schneider suddenly said.

"." Lin Nian paused, looked at Schneider and said nothing, just waiting for the rest.

Schneider breathed heavily with his lungs twitching, and his hoarse voice was wrapped in calm words and he spat out, "In the meeting, everyone pretended to be posturing, made witty remarks, and with inviolable dignity, they talked about the fate of mixed races. They talk about the war of dragons, talk about the fate of everyone, and quote the Bible and history to occupy the height of speech. It is difficult for them to get close to them. Principal Hilbert Jean Angers and I never talk to them at this time. I just put them away and looked at them from a distance, nodding and smiling in affirmation at every word they said."

"But it was only when they talked about the other side - the division of interests, that they finally spoke in human terms that were more human than human. Everyone immediately turned into philistine merchants and Hakkas buying and selling vegetables. Looking at a bundle of celery to analyze its own value and the premium caused by market fluctuations in detail... Only words like these carry real majesty, making people calm down and ponder the meaning of it word by word, rather than words like Warnings like red bells disappear after being struck, but they are struck every day, whenever they meet. Hanging them up high becomes a prestige, blocking the greedy pursuit of profit inside. They are all filled with romanticism. It gave me a sense of intimacy and authenticity.”

Looking at Lin Nian, Schneider said calmly in a voice like the friction of a rusty machine: "It just so happens that both the executive department and the principal hate people who pursue fame and fortune, even though they say it's for big plans. , for the sake of our dream of slaying the dragon, we still rejected their request. As long as you are in the execution department for a day, you will always be safe."

"Can the executive department and the principal reject the school board's request?" Lin Nian thought for a moment and raised his head and asked, "Does the principal have too much say? Or is it that, without my knowledge, the principal is actually so hegemonic? Will the school board give him three points of courtesy? If that’s the case, I wouldn’t mind learning more from the principal in the future.”

"A new female director has been appointed to the school board, and she has a good relationship with the principal. In addition, the school board is made up of many parties, not just one family. There are also many conservatives who support Principal Ange's ideas, so for you A series of accusations and purposes were not achieved," Schneider said.

"Then I should thank the principal?" Lin Nian asked.

"If you really think so, the principal will probably be very pleased, but it's a pity that you are not such a person." Schneider looked into Lin Nian's eyes and said, "In your opinion, we have removed you from the claws of the school board. The preservation is just a drama between one party and the other. The executive department and the school board are actually the same thing, they just work in another place."

Lin Nian made no expression on his face, nor did he say anything. He just looked back at Schneider expressionlessly.

"You can think that I am trying to win your heart by telling you this, whatever you want, because this is the principal's instruction. He thinks that you have the right to know these things, and beware of claws that may reach out to you anytime and anywhere in the future. "Schneider said, "The scrapping of leeches has been included in the unavoidable losses in the mission and will not cause you any trouble. The mission rewards will be issued as usual, and the number of alchemy items paid will be multiplied by 0.1 and your mission reward will be multiplied by 0.1. Counted as an additional bonus.”

"A large part of the reason why I am willing to come to your office to chat often is because we always get to the point in the end." Lin Nian nodded and said seriously, "To use what you just said, what we are talking about now is really full of romance. ism color.”

"If I remember correctly, you took away an alchemy weapon, an ancient alchemy knife. The execution department will not recover it. This is the principal's intention. He appreciates your completion rate of tasks during this summer vacation. It is considered a reward. Your personal scholarship. But don’t even think about including it in the calculation of the additional bonus.”

"Why are you so realistic all of a sudden?" Lin Nian pursed his lips, but said he didn't care.

"The unknown force Norma you encountered during the mission has also begun to investigate. The other party can call you by name, which also means that although the school board's plan to push you out has been shelved, you have indeed begun to enter. You are in the sight of some caring people. Whether you are prepared or not, the world has begun to pay attention to you, whether it is malicious or well-intentioned. In the coming days, you must pay attention to your actions and don't be like last time. You also leave too many clues for others to manipulate. Even if you want to do something you think is right, you should do it cleanly and leave no traces." Schneider said lightly.

"I know." Lin Nian nodded.

"That's all I have to say for now." Schneider also nodded, and then he said, "Tomorrow is the 3E exam. Keep your score stable. Norma will not treat you the second time just because you took the first test. To be fair, she is an artificial intelligence and will only run according to the written program. Don't treat her as an acquaintance who is familiar with you. She will not give you any impression points during the marking. You are an 'S' level. It can only be an 'S' grade, don't be careless in tomorrow's exam."

"Only at this time can I feel that I am indeed attending a university, not a KGB secret agent training camp." Lin Nian looked at Schneider, who was seriously discussing the test results with him for the first time, and couldn't help but make a joke. .

"Go, it's getting late, and the dormitory building is about to close." After saying what needed to be said, Schneider expressionlessly put away the pad on the table and issued the eviction order.

"Instructor Manstein has transferred me to the Discipline Committee as an assistant. I am qualified to watch the night, so I won't get a demerit if I go back to the dormitory." Lin Nian tilted his head and said, but Schneider didn't seem to want to Pay attention to these things.

"Oh, by the way, if I guess correctly, the new student you asked me to pick up, Minister, you should be able to personally guide him, right?" Lin Nian asked casually when he was about to stand up, "If I remember correctly, this should be Minister, are you taking care of students again for the first time in the past few years?"

"Any questions?" Schneider asked.

"No problem, I just find it interesting." Lin Nian glanced at the director of the executive department, "There are very few reasons for you to take care of students again. I just don't know which of these reasons made you make such a proactive decision. .But no matter what, you should really like the new student I brought, otherwise you wouldn’t have let me pick him up personally.”

"You can think so, this is your freedom." Schneider glanced at Lin Nian, "If he fails the 3E exam tomorrow, he will still be kicked out of the academy."

"This is impossible. Everyone knows this, especially you, the minister." Lin Nian tapped his right hand lightly on the chair, leaving an obvious test sentence, turned around and walked towards the door. But behind his back, Schneider was as calm and motionless as a rock in front of this tempting topic, which was quite a pity.

Before finally leaving the office, Lin Nian suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, Minister, have any alchemical items been stolen from the ice cellar in the past six months?"

"Stolen?" Schneider, who had lowered his head at the desk, raised his head and frowned, "Why do you ask this question?"

"Just ask. After all, we just seized a batch of alchemy items. I'm worried that the people behind the last mission are unwilling to do something." Lin Nian explained.

"The ice cellar has not been stolen since it was built, so there is no need to worry about this problem," Schneider said.

"Oh." Lin Nian nodded and was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but said, "Has anyone moved the alchemy items in the ice cellar in the past six months?"

"What exactly do you want to ask?" Schneider stopped what he was about to start and asked directly.

"I questioned the existence of the Dragon Clan when I entered school. Teacher Masashi Toyama from the Department of Psychology applied for three items from the ice cellar as evidence to convince me. Minister, do you know this?" Lin Nian asked casually.

"I know, this matter has been reported to the execution department. All risky things that are planned to be carried out in the college will be reported to us. The application document for mobilizing the alchemy items in the ice cellar as evidence was personally approved by me." Schneider nodded. He said flatly, "But you remembered one thing wrong. It was two items, not three."

"Two pieces?" Lin Nian was obviously startled.

"'Dragon Egg' and 'Stone Ghost Face'." Schneider stared at Lin Nian and frowned slightly, "Are you testing my memory? If not, then just tell me."

"."

Lin Nian was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just asking casually to test your memory, Minister."

If someone else had spoken like this, Schneider would have probably scolded the other person to get out of his office, but it was Lin Nian who asked the question. He just stared at it with his cold iron gray eyes, then lowered his head and continued to handle official duties. Talk to the other person again.

Lin Nian took one last look at Schneider, said nothing, and walked out of the office, closing the door behind him.

After the door closed, Schneider looked up at the closed door again, seeming to be silently thinking about something, but after a moment he shook his head and continued to handle official duties.

ps: It’s still two-in-one. none.
