Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 246 Mission: 02-6 Blazing Light
"...She, she might not think that way, right?"

Lu Mingfei tried hard to squeeze out a sound from his trachea, but he himself didn't quite believe what he said: "Maybe she just wants to focus on her studies. After all, she is about to graduate..."

Nero snorted, "You're not still trying to say she's just waiting for you to confess, are you?"

Lu Mingfei drooped silently. Yes, she was right. Chen Wenwen knew Lu Mingfei had feelings for her, but she kept pretending not to know. Wasn't it because she didn't want to make a direct rejection and cause a falling out? Could he still take advantage of her?

But Lu Mingfei refused to accept the rational conclusion. How could this be possible? He, Lu Mingfei, was one of the only two people Chen Wenwen had actively invited to join the literature club. Shouldn't he be special?

“For those who struggle in darkness, God radiates light; for those who live in the day, God takes on humanity.”

Hearing Nero recite this poem, Lu Mingfei raised his head, his eyes seemed a little sore: "What are you talking about?"

Nero closed the poetry collection in his hand, feeling deeply sorry for Lu Mingfei's lack of knowledge. "A poem by William Blake. Those who live in the daylight are accustomed to light, but for those who have never seen the light, the light that is considered commonplace and ordinary can actually burn them up."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Lu Mingfei: "Don't you think it suits you now?"

Only someone as loveless as he is would mistake the ordinary kindness of others for affection. Nero said so.

"But you've already decided to give up. Is there any need to worry about this?"

"Giving up and letting go are not the same thing." Lu Mingfei grumbled unconvincedly, "You are still young, it's normal for you not to understand."

"Okay, okay, I don't understand." Nero laughed. "So? Are you still planning on telling her about this before you leave?"

Lu Mingfei fell silent.

A moment later, footsteps echoed from the entrance to the underground parking lot. The overlapping footsteps clearly indicated a large group of people—the academy's recovery team. As a typical dragon attack, they had to conceal the truth as best they could.

The dull atmosphere was broken, and Lu Mingfei sighed in relief: "If she doesn't want to hear it, then I won't tell her. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me in the future."

"Then remember what you said."

Nero said this in a rather tough tone. She stretched out her hand to Lu Mingfei and made a "take it" gesture: "Give me the phone."

"Ah? Is this disposable?" Lu Mingfei looked at the phone that had been warmed by his body temperature. It was covered with cold sweat from the fright he had just caused. "Um... it seems a little dirty..."

"You can call by yourself, but remember to turn on the speakerphone."

Call? Who to call? Lu Mingfei blinked blankly, turned on his phone, lit up the screen, pressed the dialer, and then froze again. An unfamiliar number was in his contact list, with the note "Professor Guderian." Lu Mingfei suddenly had an idea and dialed the number.

"Ms. Nero?"

Before the call was connected, several burly men from Kassel College's logistics department were already standing nearby. They quickly cordoned off the scene with caution tape. The leader gave her a customary military salute and said, "Specialist Ye, who's in charge of this mission, has already taken people to deal with the victims and witnesses. The good news is that there were no casualties. He asked me to inform you that, as a preparatory student who hasn't yet joined the college, your actions have seriously violated school regulations. Please prepare an action report and a self-reflection within three days. The content of the reports will determine whether further punishment is necessary."

"I see. Besides that, there's nothing else I need, right?"

Nero nodded; this situation was within her expectations. As a "supernatural human concentration camp," all Kassel Academy students were required to report their every move to the academy, and using Word Spirits without permission was a major taboo. As a preparatory student, Nero's rules were naturally even stricter. If it weren't for the purpose of fighting against dragons and hybrids, it wouldn't be surprising that he would be expelled for using Word Spirits without permission.

"Yes, thank you for your understanding. This..."

"This person" of course refers to Lu Mingfei. Normally, ordinary people who witnessed the battle with the dragons would be psychologically induced to forget it. But that's why Nero wanted Lu Mingfei to call Guderian now.

"Hello? Is this Lu Mingfei?" The call was connected, and Guderian's excited voice came from the speaker: "Our college's interview will be held in two days, at the Regent Hotel..."

"Professor." Nero stopped him. "Hello, I am Nero Fortuna, a preparatory student at the academy."

The word "prep student" was pretty self-explanatory. Upon learning that Lu Mingfei had been implicated in a dragon attack, Guderian was both shocked and overjoyed. To him, this proved that "Lu Mingfei posed such a threat that the dragons were eager to eliminate him." It was also clear that the "Specialist Ye" handling this matter was none other than Ye Sheng, the Executive Department Specialist who had arrived in the city with him and was preparing for the interview.

Lu Mingfei was thus confirmed to be a member of the academy's relevant personnel, and no psychological treatment was required before the interview. However, Lu Mingfei still had to be monitored to a certain extent, and he also had to sign an agreement in advance to ensure that he would not disclose secrets about the Dragon Clan.

By the time everything was over, it was already midnight. Those who had woken up from their comas explained the incident as a "gas leak underground that poisoned and knocked everyone in the building unconscious. A small explosion caused by the gas combustion caused the elevator to crash, but fortunately, no one was injured."

The aunt, still terrified, lamented her good fortune, having experienced a near-death experience. Meanwhile, Lu Mingfei, the supposed caller, was secretly given two "Red Grandpa" coins by his uncle as a token of encouragement. Everyone has a bright future.

Lu Mingfei's application was approved and he was about to go for an interview, which was rare good news. His uncle even wanted to open a bottle of wine to celebrate, but his aunt ruthlessly stopped him. However, the bad news was that his uncle had requisitioned the cell phone that came with the letter from the college. Although he promised to buy Lu Mingfei another one in the future, it was his aunt who held the financial power. Without her approval, his uncle's promise was just a piece of waste paper.

That night, his cousin went to bed early, allowing Lu Mingfei to use his computer for a while. There was an unread message on QQ from Old Tang, the man he had battled fiercely in StarCraft with before the accident.

"Nice fight bro, come again next time?"

Lu Mingfei clicked on the message, took a look, and silently closed the window.
