Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 274 Mission: 06-1 Night Watch Forum

The Empress Arrives! The New King of Free Day!

"The Lionheart Club and the Student Council were both defeated. Who was it that defeated the two presidents head-on?"

"Super A and S-class join hands to sweep the entire academy!"

Opening the official Kassel College forum, the entire news section was filled with headlines like "Shock!" or something similar. Following closely behind were photos of Nero, sword in hand, with a cold smile, or of Chu Zihang, shot dead with a single blow, his gun pointed skyward. Each photo's angle, lighting, and composition were impeccable, making one wonder if the very atmosphere at Kassel College was made up of paparazzi.

Lu Mingfei even saw himself in a picture accompanying a post. It was a handsome three-point composition. The small triangle in the center was a sniper rifle protruding from the church window. Nero on the left was leaning against the wall, knife in hand, waiting. Lu Mingfei, with a resolute expression, pointed his gun downwards, perfectly framing the church in the middle from both sides.

Lu Mingfei was terrified by the overwhelming news. He couldn't help but get up from his bed and lean over to the upper bunk, asking Finger, who was typing on his laptop keyboard, "Brother, is there a little elf in your news department taking secret photos with a camera?"

"Of course not." Finkel stopped and turned to look at Lu Mingfei: "Oh, you're asking about those photos? Actually, there are quite a lot of surveillance cameras in the academy. You can get a lot of photos just by manually focusing. If that doesn't work, there's always Photoshop."

"Oh my god, don't scare me. Does this mean the News Department can just use the academy's surveillance cameras at will?"

"Of course I'm joking." Seeing Lu Mingfei's face turn green, Finkel couldn't help but laugh: "How can the surveillance camera footage be of such high quality? These photos were taken by the members of the team. You didn't notice them only because they were hiding."

"It's scarier, okay?"

The dormitories at Kassel College were two-to-one, and as students under Professor Guderian's supervision, Lu Mingfei and Finger naturally lived together. After being shot by a sniper, Finger received an injection from the school doctor and, like the other students who had been "shot dead" in CS, became lively again and began to inquire about the final winner of the game.

Perhaps this was professionalism. However, Fingel still had a grudge against the fact that a Lionheart sniper had snuck down the most senior student among them, and he had already threatened to bring the entire News Department into the Student Union.

"But you really don't regret giving the title of winner to Nero?" Finkel changed the subject and said, "You should know that the ultimate winner of Free Day will receive a generous reward."

"Just consider it as repaying her favor." Lu Mingfei scratched his head. "But is there a bonus? If there is, it can write off the money I owe her."

"It's something money can't buy! One year's use of the Norton House villa and the right to be rejected by the first person you pursue within three months, it couldn't be more tempting!"

"That seems to be of no use to me." Lu Mingfei answered honestly.

"That's right, you have a girlfriend." Finkel shook his head helplessly: "If this power can be transferred, I will make you the champion of this free day no matter what."

"Brother, you're four years older than the oldest girl in the academy, and the youngest is ten years older now. That's almost a generation gap. Are you still looking for a girlfriend in the academy? Doesn't that make you look like you're just roaming around young girls?"

"You won't understand!" Finkel said in a sad and angry voice. "Think back to when I was a senior, I was also a famous A-level student. I don't know how many of the female students in the Executive Department have given me love letters! If I hadn't wanted to concentrate on my studies and become an Executive Department specialist as soon as possible, I wouldn't have agreed..."

Lu Mingfei added ruthlessly, "You'll be dumped because you didn't graduate."

A sigh filled with countless complicated emotions rang out from Finger's mouth: "Okay, you're right, no one would want to fall in love with a senior who can't graduate in eight years. I'm going to make your emotional experience public and see if I can learn something from the replies..."

"What experience? I've only had one girlfriend, and we haven't even kissed."

"I'm talking about my online dating experience, you know."

"Brother, don't! We can discuss this!"

Then there was a knock on the door, and Professor Guderian arrived. He brought Lu Mingfei's student ID card and the bad news that he had to take a bloodline test tomorrow.

For Lu Mingfei, who still hasn't awakened his spirit of words, he is really a little unsure.

Lu Mingfei wasn't in the mood to browse the forum anymore, but Nero was different. They say Kassel is a crazy college, so naturally, they couldn't lag behind in the forum either. The joke section has a bit of a "retarded" vibe. The college forum is an internal site. Those who can log in are either members of the college or graduated executive officers. These people are more or less alienated from the outside world, which makes the forum quite active despite the small number of registered users.

A post titled "The Last Meeting" caught Nero's attention. The poster, a member of the student union, used photos to record the student union's last general meeting of the year in Norton Hall - because they had to move out now, and this place would be Nero's territory for the next year.

Aside from the pictures, the rest of the post is essentially Caesar's chuunibyou quotes. However, the so-called chuunibyou refers to unrealistic fantasies. If the person saying them could actually achieve them, it wouldn't be considered a disease. Just like if a middle-aged man with a mustache a hundred years ago had declared he would burn everything rotten with fire, everyone would have either been excited or terrified.

Caesar was the kind of guy who could make what others said was unrealistic sound inspiring. And he had a lot of ideas. Nero once heard someone say that if he dyed his hair, he would look more like that guy's son.

Nero tapped away at the keyboard with great interest, and a striking reply appeared below the post. The poster named "Nero" left a message:
“The pride of the peacock is the glory of God.”

That’s right, Nero’s ID in Kassel Academy’s internal forum, the “Night Watch Forum”, is exactly “Nero”, as if he is afraid that others will not recognize him.

But this is actually the norm. Although people often don't use their own names as IDs, the people behind those IDs are generally known. For example, Caesar's "Dick Tudor", Chu Zihang's "Murasame", the principal's "Cambridge Jackknife"...

They all seem to be the names of their weapons. Based on this naming method, perhaps Nero's best ID should be "Yan Mo Dao".
