Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 248 Mission: 03-1 Aftershocks
The day after the incident, Xia Mi returned to school as if nothing had happened, looking quite well. Nero wanted to mock her for running away like a mole, saying she was worthy of being the "King of the Earth and Mountains," but exposing her now would not only do no good but would also disrupt Nero's subsequent plans, so he could only endure it.

Considering that it was Xia Mi who caused Nero to write a self-criticism, Nero was even less pleased with her when they met again. When Xia Mi approached him again, Nero endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help but elbow her. As a result, Xia Mi instantly fell to the ground, clutching her stomach, looking like she was having trouble breathing. It was unclear whether it was acting or just an old injury.

Fortunately, the location was on the rooftop, and no one saw this scene, otherwise Nero might have to write another self-criticism. It was a pity that less than half a year ago, Nero was still a good student praised by everyone in the school. How could she suddenly become a bad element now?
"It must be Cassel's fault."

She made such a conclusion.

Nero turned to leave when Xia Mi, who had fallen to the ground, grabbed his heels. The black-haired beauty, a woman who made everyone feel sorry for herself in every way, looked up with her hair loose, like a ghost seeking death. She said quietly, "Senior Loli, you have to take responsibility for what's in my stomach~"

"You're a loli, let me go!"

To be fair, it really doesn't make sense to insist that Nero is a loli. If Nero is a loli, then Xia Mi, who is one centimeter shorter than her and has a particularly regrettable figure, is even more of a loli.

A day passed quickly, and Nero finally managed to escape from Xia Mi. Her perseverance and strong heart were truly admirable. If Nero didn't know she was Jörmungandr, he might never have thought that she was the same person as the mysterious man in black who had been severely injured by Nero the previous day and who had called him a "monster."

That evening, a lengthy, over a thousand-word self-criticism was sent to Nero's QQ mailbox. The content was heartfelt and moving, and it was clear that Lu Mingfei had truly put some thought into writing it. However, Nero herself had to report the incident, as only she could provide a detailed description of the enemy's strength and the Word Spirit. After all, she was the King of the Earth and Mountains. Once she confirmed that Nero had sufficient and necessary reasons to use the Word Spirit, the academy wouldn't make things too difficult for her.

After all, there is a school director standing behind her.

On the third day of the incident, the Kassel Academy interviews took place at the Regent Hotel, which had been reserved by Kassel Academy several days earlier. The interviews took place in the luxurious hotel's executive-level conference room, with seventeen chairs outside for each candidate. Those selected for the interviews were all among the city's top students.

Except for Lu Mingfei. Normally, people with dragon bloodline, even if they haven't awakened, would have some degree of superiority in appearance and brainpower. Lu Mingfei seemed to be a complete accident.

But even so, Lu Mingfei was not nervous or worried at all. For him, who had been confirmed to have dragon blood, the result of the interview was actually already determined.

Lu Mingfei, in; everyone else, out!

So, he, who usually looked listless, was now full of vigor and confidence, as if he had it all figured out. The students from other schools were also somewhat intimidated by the strange aura of this disheveled, timid guy who pushed the door open with such a fierce attitude.

But for those who knew Lu Mingfei, who attended the same Shilan Middle School as him, or were even in the same class as him, the meaning of Lu Mingfei's appearance was completely different.

"Lu Mingfei?!"

Four different voices echoed in the hall. If Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao were merely surprised, then Su Xiaoqiang and Zhao Menghua were truly shocked. Their eyes nearly popped out of their heads, as if Lu Mingfei's appearance was truly outrageous.

Lu Mingfei ignored their gazes and waved with a smile: "Hey, everyone is here."

These four people were all Lu Mingfei's classmates, and except for Liu Miaomiao, they were all members of the Literature Club. As a result, as soon as Lu Mingfei sat down, he poked his head in and joked, "Our Literature Club is truly full of talented people!"

Zhao Menghua glanced at him without saying anything. Su Xiaoqiang, who always disliked Lu Mingfei, visibly raised his eyebrows: "Really? Why do I see something like a human corpse here?" "That's right, without water, there's only firewood..."

At Lu Mingfei's cold joke, Chen Wenwen, who had originally had a stiff expression, burst out laughing. When Lu Mingfei saw her covering her mouth and lowering her head, his heart was also slightly moved.

It's a pity, it would be great if Chen Wenwen also had dragon blood. Lu Mingfei quietly turned his eyes away, not wanting to continue looking at her.

After laughing, Chen Wenwen whispered a reminder: "Pay attention, the interview should be starting soon..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the conference room was pushed open from the inside. Examiner Ye Sheng, wearing a dark green suit with a circular tree emblem embroidered in silver thread on his chest, walked out. "Is Liu Miaomiao here?"

"To!"

Liu Miaomiao stood up, her voice slightly trembling.

After Ye Sheng introduced himself, Liu Miaomiao was led into the conference room. The door closed, and several sighs echoed in the silent air.

Aside from Lu Mingfei, the other three members of the literature club chatted about Kassel College with small laughs. Like Lu Mingfei, none of them had previously applied and knew nothing about the school. However, common sense suggests that the more private a school is, the harder it is to get into. And just looking at Kassel College's website would certainly lead one to believe it's a top-tier private university. So, these three were quite excited about this interview.

Lu Mingfei didn't participate in the discussion. Having already learned the true face of Kassel Academy, he considered the discussion somewhat trivial. He was leaning back in his chair, his head in his hands, humming a tuneless melody.

"Su Xiaoqiang."

The door opened, and Liu Miaomiao walked out with red eyes. Su Xiaoqiang, whose name was called, froze in her tracks when she saw this, a stark contrast to her boast that she had "plenty of schools to choose from."

Perhaps she was so focused that she didn't notice Lu Mingfei waving his hand, adding fuel to the fire. Actually, Lu Mingfei was trying to bless her, hoping she wouldn't get too nervous, but if Su Xiaoqiang saw that, she'd probably grit her teeth.

"You have such a good attitude."

After Su Xiaoqiang entered, Chen Wenwen whispered to Lu Mingfei, "You can't be nervous during an interview, but unfortunately I really can't do that."

"It's better to let it go. With your grades, even if you don't study abroad, you can still choose any prestigious university in China, right?"

Lu Mingfei comforted her casually.
