Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 276 Mission: 06-3 3E Exam
The hustle and bustle of a free day soon faded. When the clock struck twelve, this limited freedom vanished like Cinderella's glass slipper and pumpkin carriage, and everyone returned to their dull, routine lives. Even in this school beyond the ordinary, it seemed no different.

After all, apart from the research direction and militant style, this is still an ordinary university. The rules may even be more stringent.

Lu Mingfei faces his first college exam: the 3E exam, which assesses a hybrid's sensitivity to dragon language and determines their bloodline and spiritual abilities.

The invigilators were Professor Manstein, the disciplinary committee member who had thrown a tantrum after the day's free time, and his intern, Chen Motong. Lu Mingfei bowed and nodded to them, but it didn't seem to have any effect. After all, the professor was notoriously ruthless.

So Lu Mingfei straightened his expression and sat in his seat with a serious face.

Unlike most students in the classroom, Lu Mingfei had already thoroughly researched the 3E exam. According to Nero and Finkel, it was essentially a "mystical listening test," consisting of basic dictation. Simply listen carefully to the dragon language fragments played over the speakers, then transcribe them onto paper. Any hybrid capable of clairvoyance would be able to withstand this test.

The strange figure in Lu Mingfei's visions had appeared several times before, but Lu Mingfei couldn't see how it resembled text. However, Nero was certain that a variation of the Dragon Clan script would be present in the visions, and Lu Mingfei might have simply not recognized it as text. Norma, the editor, determined which parts were text. Super AI similarity recognition was highly reliable, so Lu Mingfei simply had to recreate what he saw exactly.

The appearance of the S-rank caused a small stir in the classroom. He only later learned that the Lionheart Club sniper who was completely suppressed by Lu Mingfei and finally killed with a cold gun was also one of the few A-ranks in the academy, which added a lot of credibility to his S-rank rating.

However, in Lu Mingfei's view, his victory was due to the fact that the enemy was in the clear while he was in the dark. Lu Mingfei entered the match at the end of the game, and immediately locked onto his opponent's position, using only a single digit of bullets. It was natural that the opponent couldn't find his position.

What's more, if KDA is calculated, Lu Mingfei's is one to zero, while the female sniper's is more than ten to one. It is obvious that the latter plays a greater role.

The Indian boy sitting next to him started talking to Lu Mingfei: "Nice to meet you, Lu Mingfei, our 'S' class."

The instant Lu Mingfei saw his Indian classmate, his quick mind immediately connected him to the caste system, to Brahmins, to bloodlines—and finally, to mixed-race people. This rapid associative ability reminded him of the line on his own review sheet: "He's a child full of imagination," and he let out a dumbfounded laugh.

"Hello, hello." He came to his senses and responded quickly.

In fact, his idea is not wrong. Most of the nobles in this world are actually related to the dragon race.

The Indian freshman was named Qilan, and he claimed to be the president of the "Freshman Association." After introducing himself, he enthusiastically asked Lu Mingfei for his autograph, and then began to inquire about Lu Mingfei's relationship with Nero.

However, Manstein interrupted him and also interrupted Lu Mingfei who was about to answer, reminding everyone that the exam was about to begin and they should turn off their mobile phones.

After doing so, Lu Mingfei's attention was drawn to a figure in front of him on the right. It was a girl with long, light blond hair, tied in a complicated bun at the back of her head. The exposed nape of her neck was so white it looked like it was sculpted from snow.

Lu Mingfei was mesmerized, both by the captivating beauty of the back of her neck and because he felt the silhouette looked familiar. At first, he'd mistaken it for Nero, given their similar height and build. But Nero's hair was brighter, her skin more vibrant and paler. Most importantly, Nero had already passed the 3E exam; she wouldn't be here.

So Lu Mingfei concluded that he just had a sense of déjà vu because he thought of Nero, and looked away.

Coincidentally, Nuonuo, who was distributing test papers, also walked over to him. The test papers consisted of blank A4 sheets.

After seeing the test paper, there were gasps of surprise. Manstein, who had been prepared, immediately signaled the students to be quiet and announced the rules of the exam.

"That's how the exam is. Discussion is allowed, but plagiarism is not allowed. Norma can't be fooled by plagiarism. Once discovered, any exam paper deemed to be plagiarized will be considered a failing grade."

Then he left a message of "Good luck to everyone" and took Nuonuo out of the classroom, closing the door.

The murmur of discussion instantly spread throughout the classroom. After all, most of the freshmen were of low pedigree and hadn't experienced any of the mystical events involving dragons. They hadn't yet experienced their first "clairvoyance," so naturally, they didn't know what this exam entailed. The more knowledgeable they were, the calmer they remained.

Lu Mingfei remained calm. Qi Lan, standing beside him, excitedly mentioned Nero again, saying she hoped to invite her to join the freshman fraternity, noting that most of the members of this student organization were her fans. She also casually extended an invitation to Lu Mingfei, hoping to connect him with Nero, praising him for his kingly demeanor.

Lu Mingfei absentmindedly answered him for a few words, and then the exam began. Amidst the intense rhythm of rock music, Lu Mingfei closed his eyes and sank his thoughts into the depths of darkness.

Lu Mingfei heard the distant, solemn chanting beneath the beat of rock music again, just as he had at the train station. Then the raspy electric guitar faded away, and the dull drumbeats stretched out infinitely, transforming into a melodious bell. And so, Lu Mingfei opened his eyes again.

He was still sitting in the classroom on the second floor of the library, surrounded by many freshmen, but something seemed different.

Lu Mingfei couldn't hear their voices, even though the classroom was already abuzz with activity. Some were dancing, some were singing, some were laughing, and some were weeping. Lu Mingfei's gaze swept through the various scenes of the world, and he found the lingering boy in black by the windowsill.

"You're here again." he whispered.

"Would you like to come sit down with me?" The boy smiled and waved at him, "The sunset here is beautiful."
