Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 254 Mission: 03-7 Finalization
The red-haired girl currently speaking to Lu Mingfei was Chen Motong, also known as "Nono." She was a student at Kassel College and, unlike Ye Sheng and the others, hadn't yet graduated. She claimed to be an examiner, but wasn't responsible for any specific assessments. Her role was to help Norma gather and organize information about the students.

So it was only natural that she would know about Lu Mingfei. In fact, as the girlfriend of the student council president, Nuonuo was extremely well-informed. She had already known beforehand that Lu Mingfei's bloodline was estimated to be S-level, so of course she paid special attention to him.

When Nero came to the bathroom, she was hiding there, talking on the phone, apparently chatting with her boyfriend. Nero was there for a similar reason—someone had sent her a message, and Nero couldn't get the phone out without unbuttoning her dress.

The message came from the director who had forced her into Kassel Academy. This director and his family were the product of a fusion of the descendants of the fallen Nordic gods and a mixed-blood family, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that the other party had finally responded to Nero's request for their attention to the "Kuimen Project."

Judging from the response, the changes Nero pushed for were effective, but not significant. The planned operation was far too dangerous. Without significant changes, the infiltrators would not only have to find a way out of the underwater city while running low on oxygen, but also simultaneously have to find a way to open the gate guarded by the Living Spirits and escape the pursuing dragon servants. Unless Nero personally went to the scene to kill the dragon and then opened a dimensional tunnel to lead his men away, these indirect methods alone would be insufficient to save anyone.

After confirming this reality, she felt a little bad, so she used cold water to calm herself down.

So Nero was genuinely curious, wondering why Lu Mingfei had suddenly gone berserk and run to the bathroom door to find her. Then she saw Lu Mingfei cautiously and tremblingly ask, "Are you... okay?"

"Why would something happen to me?"

Under Nero's puzzled gaze, Lu Mingfei nodded rapidly: "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."

Really not understanding Lu Mingfei's approach, Nero shook his head helplessly and sighed:
“If others had not been foolish, we should be so.”

"William Blake's Hellish Proverbs?" Nuonuo raised an eyebrow and said, "You might have something in common with my boyfriend."

"Really? But it's my father who loves poetry," Nero replied calmly. "As for me, I prefer to read more religious texts."

Although she had only casually responded, it seemed to irritate Lu Mingfei again. Lu Mingfei shuddered noticeably and asked hesitantly, "Is this from the book you took last time?"

"That's what my father left behind."

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked!"

It was really hard to keep calm when he was so startled. Especially since it happened right at the door of the women's restroom, it was even harder to keep calm.

This kid is hopeless. Nero made this judgment and walked past Lu Mingfei with a sigh, no longer paying attention to him. When she thought that Lu Mingfei seemed to be a hopeless person, she couldn't help but worry about the future of the world.

The three of them returned to the table one by one. Nero returned to his seat with a slightly frowned brow, looking a little melancholy. Nuonuo came up with a heartless look and started begging for food from others, while Lu Mingfei——

Lu Mingfei's expression at this moment was as if he had eaten a whole bitter melon raw.

During their absence, the uncle had already signed the documents Guderian had brought, acting as the "head of the family." The three characters "Lugucheng" were written in a flamboyant, flowing handwriting. It was as straightforward as signing a lottery ticket, and one could even see a hint of impatience.

It’s not that they didn’t intend to consider Lu Mingfei’s idea, but after the voiceprint registration, Norma had already signed for Lu Mingfei. It was hard to believe that those words that looked like turtle crawling were not written by Lu Mingfei.

Now all that's missing is the fingerprint. Even Norma's supercomputer can't reproduce something that doesn't exist on the Internet. "What's going on?"

Even someone as open-minded as Guderian realized something was amiss, but his only concern was his future student, Lu Mingfei. "Mingfei, is there anything else you're concerned about in the academy?"

"……what?"

Lu Mingfei raised his head after a second, stared at the professor blankly for a second, then spent another second blinking before finally saying, "Oh, no."

"Really? You look unhappy to me."

Nono, playing with the food in the bowl with a fork, casually revealed a shocking secret that everyone knew: "Did you break up? Youth~"

However, this "well-known" status was limited to people other than my uncle and aunt—perhaps even Guderian. My aunt immediately glared at Lu Mingfei. She held the absolute position in the family, and my uncle didn't dare challenge her. Even Lu Mingze, the second-highest-ranking member of the family, had to bow his head.

"She was just guessing." Lu Mingfei came back to his senses and explained anxiously, "Aunt, do you think I look like someone who can fall in love?"

Indeed, Lu Mingfei had been slovenly for the past three years of high school, and didn't look like someone who had ever been in a relationship. Auntie looked away suspiciously, believing Lu Mingfei's story.

"Excuse me, it was just a joke."

Nuonuo raised her head and smiled: "Today is the first time we meet, and I want to liven up the atmosphere."

Guderian, the old bachelor, clearly had no real interest in this topic. He followed Nuonuo's lead and began the introduction he had forgotten earlier: "This is Chen Motong, a second-year student and our student examiner. He's of Chinese descent."

"Just call me Nuonuo. Everyone in the academy calls me that."

Then Guderian changed the subject and began to show his courtesy to Lu Mingfei again, which was like going against Tian Gang.

"No, I actually think the academy is pretty good. It's just... I'm known as a glutton, so I'm a little worried about the food."

Lu Mingfei thought for a long time, and finally came up with a half-hearted excuse to explain why he looked so bad. For the rest of the time, he seemed a little absent-minded.

Without a second thought, Lu Mingfei put his fingerprints on the documents, officially becoming a candidate for Kassel Academy. During this time, he no longer had to worry about anything. Freed from the pressure of the "Gaokao," Lu Mingfei could only spend his days at school, waiting for Kassel Academy and Norma to deliver his passport, visa, and plane ticket.

The dinner ended in a somewhat strange atmosphere.
