Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 278 Mission: 06-5 Students’ Duties
"It's an operation that turns people into idiots." Finkel answered with a gloomy face, as if he was deliberately trying to scare people.

But Lu Mingfei was genuinely frightened. He shuddered violently, as if he had truly seen a dark future for himself.

"That's why everyone's Word Spirit files are kept confidential." Nero took a sip of water beside him and smiled calmly. "Only the principal and the instructor in charge can access them. Otherwise, according to their judgment method, there would be very few A-level students in the academy who would not be isolated."

"As expected, the higher the level, the faster people die!" Lu Mingfei complained, holding his head.

A moment later, lunch arrived: roasted pig's trotter with sauerkraut, a standard German dish, just as "Kassel" is a German surname.

Nero took the lunch and placed it in front of him, then turned his gaze to Finger again. "But then again, since only the principal and the instructor can access the student's Word Spirit files, how did you know about this, brother?"

The corners of her lips curled up, and her cunning smile was full of ill intentions.

Finger turned his head to look at the chandelier above his head and whistled. Such blatant act of playing dumb made Lu Mingfei realize once again how shameless this person was.

"It's really a loss to the college that you failed to graduate, senior brother." He sighed.

"I think so too." Finkel nodded.

The cafeteria at Kassel College doesn't only serve German food, but the annual welcome meal always features pig's trotters, a tradition said to be part of the college. After finishing their meal, Lu Mingfei and Finger returned to their dormitories; their chosen courses officially began the next day.

"Speaking of which, Senior Brother, why on earth can't you graduate?"

After turning on the computer and chatting with Su Xiaoqiang for a few minutes, Lu Mingfei, whose fear of academic studies was aroused, asked this question again.

"Why else? I failed the courses," Finkel replied lazily. "I never passed the internship class once, and then I took one or two more courses... and that's how it turned out."

"But you can hack into Norma, so it wouldn't be easy to cheat and change the score, right?"

"It's easy as that. It's not that hard to peek and modify without being discovered, right? If they did, they would really skin me alive."

"That's it."

Lu Mingfei didn't know much about hacking, so he couldn't judge it. He retreated again and said, "How can you fail a course after four years?"

“Because you can’t choose the same courses every year!”

Speaking of this, Finger's tone was filled with a hint of grief and indignation. "You have no idea how much those students who chose Math and Magical Mechanics want me to graduate. I've gotten full marks in those two courses for eight consecutive years. All the rest of them are always second best!"

"It's okay, I can't be second."

Lu Mingfei spoke. He had chosen this course because of Guderian's recommendation, but he knew his own strengths and weaknesses, so he had already decided to focus on Dragon Genealogy, a less competitive subject that could be memorized easily. As for Magical Mechanics, his goal was to pass the course without failing.

Or perhaps you could say he was a "history major." After all, his parents publicly claimed to be archaeologists, and Lu Mingfei had always believed so, so he privately had a deep understanding of world history.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be curious about Nero's course selection. She and Finger were arguably Lu Mingfei's only two friends in the academy, so he thought he should pay some attention to them.

"You mean I can wait until you are in level 4 like me? If that day really comes, I will kill you first and then commit suicide!" Hearing Finkel's helpless and furious cry, Lu Mingfei shook his head, typed a line of words and pressed the Enter key.

Sent successfully.

"Nero, what classes did you take?"

When he received this message, Nero was in another interface of the computer - although it sounds a bit unethical - monitoring Xia Mi's movements through high-tech means, in order to prevent Xia Mi from suddenly appearing at the action site of the "Kuimen Plan".

Fortunately, although Xia Mi was not in the original city at the moment, she did not go to the reservoir. It seemed that she was accompanying her idiot brother.

This might be an opportunity. If Nero were to head to the Nibelungen hidden within the subway, perhaps he could obliterate the King of Earth and Mountains without anyone noticing.

The problem, however, is that the rules of the Nibelungen are too complex, and Nero might have to brute force his way through them. And brute force cracking the Nibelungen might also have some unforeseen effects on the real world. The Bronze City is deep in the reservoir, so it's fine, but in a large city like that...

If even a few of those kamaweeds escaped from the shattered Nibelung, it would have had serious consequences. This incident did occur later, but it was suppressed with the help of other hybrids, and Nero could not expect support for such a private action.

So it’s better to be cautious.

Nero, seeing the message, typed a reply: "Alchemical Chemistry, Dragon Language and Symbol Analysis, and Dragon Genealogy. Anything you're interested in?"

She had a reason for choosing these three courses. This world's alchemy was classical and classic, developed from the Dragon Clan's roots in the theory of elements and Hermeticism, and was considered a universal mystical discipline. Semiotics, on the other hand, was even more universal than alchemy itself, and was a crucial method for interpreting most ancient alchemical texts.

As for Dragon Genealogy… this subject is, to put it bluntly, the Dragon version of world history. Naturally, it's not universally applicable and wouldn't be applicable in another world. But since this course is taught by Principal Angers, it's very popular and the cost-effectiveness is very high.

"Oh it's all right."

Lu Mingfei's reply arrived. A few seconds later, a second reply popped up: "It seems that the Magic Mechanical Design course I chose will be suspended for a few weeks, so I came to ask how you are doing."

"Everything is normal. There are still only a few professors working part-time in the executive department."

After answering this, Nero suddenly remembered that there seemed to be only about a week left before the start of the Kuimen Plan, because the principal should have set out on his return journey with the Dragon King's egg when the student union dance began.

Lu Mingfei immediately replied, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Nero sarcastically said, "Be careful not to catch the failing virus from your roommate."

I hope Lu Mingfei can read the encouragement in it.

Sure enough, there were a few more expressions, which fully demonstrated Lu Mingfei's bad mood.

So, Nero's mentor, like Chu Zihang, was Professor Schneider, the head of the Executive Department. He was an elderly man who couldn't get out of his wheelchair and had to wear a respirator to survive. It seemed that as a "dangerous element" in the academy, Nero, like Chu Zihang, had been booked by the Executive Department.

Maybe in a few days, she will be regarded as a temporary specialist and assigned some small tasks.
