Chapter 61 Turning Against Each Other?
The sorrow of blood.
It is the feeling experienced by hybrids who are superior to humans due to their dragon bloodline, over time and among people.
Their unique bloodline makes these hybrids, neither human nor dragon, hover between the 'strongest' and the 'weakest,' inevitably facing varying degrees of rejection.
Guderian looked at Lu Mingfei in front of him, his gaze behind his glasses momentarily unfocused.
It was a completely different face: a foreigner's deep bone structure, white hair as white as snow, and silver-gray pupils as sharp as an eagle's, bearing no resemblance to Lu Mingfei's dark eyes.
But what felt familiar to him was the look in those eyes.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. The hallucinations receded like the tide. Lu Mingfei was still sitting opposite him, his fingertips unconsciously twirling the coffee spoon. The latte in the cup had gone cold.
Guderian's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
He remembered the man named Angers, and how Angers had the same eyes when he first met him decades ago.
He stood in the center of the crowd, yet it was as if he were standing in a deserted wasteland, with even the wind circling around him.
Like a lone lion.
Guderian's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice carried a hint of guilt that even he himself didn't realize: "Mingfei, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei looked up at him, a fleeting glint of light flashing in his dark pupils like a kaleidoscope, so fast it seemed like an illusion. "You really know anything about my parents?"
"no."
Guderian blurted it out almost without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya, who were standing behind him, were both stunned. They looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
What is this? Are you going to turn on me right now?
Shouldn't the most important thing now be to go along with Lu Mingfei's words, extinguish his dream of becoming an esports player, and lure him to Kassel?
Chu Zihang, however, reacted differently from them. As if he had expected it, he sat down in the next seat and started drinking his coffee.
He looked like a spectator watching a play.
If Lu Mingfei weren't involved, he would definitely have taken this position without a doubt.
But... he's no longer just a spectator.
He looked at Guderian's face, which had turned pale instantly, and laughed—a laugh devoid of warmth, like water on ice, cold and damp: "I knew it."
"I was hoping to perform a little longer, it's such a pity." He leaned back in his chair, his hands clasped in front of his chest.
"You've done a really bad job."
Guderian opened his mouth, wanting to say something to explain himself, but as soon as he was about to speak, it was as if an invisible hand blocked his mouth, and he couldn't utter a single word.
It was as if there was an invisible force...
power?
Thinking of that fleeting glimpse of pale gold, Guderian shuddered, as if he had suddenly realized something.
Ye Sheng, standing behind Guderian, tried to smooth things over: "Um, the professor didn't mean that..."
"Of course I know what he means."
Lu Mingfei interrupted him, his gaze sweeping over the three people in front of him. "You want me to go to that so-called Kassel College, right? Just because of my bloodline?" He paused, his voice growing colder.
"If things were normal, there might be some chance. But you haven't told me a single truth, so why should I go with you?"
Originally, Lu Mingfei planned to infiltrate Kassel College to find an opportunity, so he pretended to know nothing about Kassel, but this lie...
It's too clumsy and too heartbreaking.
Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Lu Mingfei stopped talking and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.
As Lu Mingfei was counting the beats, he was about to get up and pretend to say goodbye when the person in front of him suddenly erupted in chaos.
"Huh!"
"Word magic! This is word magic."
Guderian's eyes lit up, his golden pupils shining brightly in their sockets. He was so surprised that he almost jumped up, completely abandoning his previous silence.
That cheerful demeanor was like a bomb, shattering the oppressive atmosphere and even startling Lu Mingfei.
He had just withdrawn his mental suppression, and logically, the old man should have just emerged from the suppression, but...
This old man's expression changes faster than flipping through a book?
Ignoring his pride, Guderian moved closer to Lu Mingfei, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement:
"Mingfei, I'm sorry to bring up your parents... I've never actually met them. But I can swear, they are definitely alumni of Kassel College, and their names are still on the college's list."
He awkwardly raised four fingers to the sky, looking as sincere as a young man confessing his love to his sweetheart on New Year's Eve.
But Lu Mingfei wasn't a girl, and Guderian was no longer a boy. This solemn yet clumsy appearance made the former's lips twitch again.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Mingfei shifted his position back, avoiding the face. "Do you think this is appropriate in this situation?"
How could it have turned out like this?
Lu Mingfei felt like he couldn't keep up with Guderian's train of thought.
Shouldn't it be that he gets angry, you all stand up to me, each side presents evidence and reveals their cards, and then start negotiating terms?
No, that's not how the negotiation process went!
But Guderian clearly didn't understand Lu Mingfei's words. After a moment's thought, he not only didn't lower his hand, but raised it even higher.
"Yes, yes, yes, shouldn't we make it a bit more formal if we're talking about the fourth one?" Guderian stretched his hand to its limit, as if to express that his attitude was as high as the sky.
"It's an oath, not this 'four'." Lu Mingfei was at a loss. He looked at Guderian in front of him, his tone tinged with helplessness. "An oath is made with three fingers, and with your eyes like this, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Although they closed the shop early, the staff in the coffee shop were still there.
Is Kassel College really that bold?
Upon hearing this, Guderian realized just how attention-grabbing his behavior was, and his voice immediately softened.
"Is that so? I learned this tradition from information I found online..."
He reluctantly lowered his hand, his golden eyes dimming, but the light in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and his mouth seemed to be stuffed with a machine gun:
"I'm so excited! An S-rank hybrid awakened a Word of Power! This kind of record is rare even in the academy's history! Especially that move you just used... What kind of Word of Power? A rare mental Word of Power?"
He didn't seem like a professor anymore, but rather a student pestering his teacher with questions. He leaned even closer, almost nose-to-nose with Lu Mingfei, his face beaming with excitement, "Can you use it again! Try it on me again, I can record the parameters for you!"
His enthusiastic demeanor made it seem as if the person who had just been under the spell was not him, but a complete stranger.
Not only did it completely destroy the atmosphere created by Lu Mingfei's actions, but it even seemed to be shifting into a strange realm.
"S-rank!?"
