Dragon Clan: Avoid the College Entrance Examination to Slay the Dragon

Chapter 68 Emergency Notice
It was sunny on March 10.

Golden leaves swirled in the autumn breeze as Gu Yi walked through the teaching building with one hand in his pocket. Having just finished class, the collar of his white shirt was slightly open.

Along the way, people kept handing over envelopes with red faces, but they retreated sadly when the boy said "sorry" in a gentle and distant manner.

As he turned the corner of the gate, Gu Yi suddenly stopped. Fifty meters away, beneath a ginkgo tree, a girl with long brown curly hair leaned against the trunk, sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves onto her ivory-white face.

When the girl turned her gaze towards him, Gu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Senior Sister?"

Vivian was about to bite the lollipop in her mouth when she suddenly realized that Gu Yi was gone. When she regained consciousness, the young man was already standing half a step away.

"You!" She was so startled that she leaned back, and the moment her head hit the tree trunk, it was cushioned by a warm palm. "Why did you suddenly use the word spirit?"

"I can't let Senior Sister wait." Gu Yi withdrew his hand.

"You're quite good at it, Junior. Who taught you to please girls this way?"

"What?" Gu Yi was stunned.

"It's okay~" The girl took two steps back, put her hands behind her back and smiled, "Let's go, I'll buy you some coffee."

Gu Yi nodded slightly and walked side by side with her through the tree-lined avenue. He lowered his eyes to glance at the girl's hair blowing in the wind. "It's been over a month since I came here, and I still find it hard to believe that the college actually allows students to open their own shops."

"These will generate a lot of revenue for the college." The girl turned her head to look at him. "It is said that the board of directors is very dissatisfied with the college's increasingly astronomical expenses."

"I think everyone is also very unhappy with the school board, especially the Gattuso family."

"Because the Gattuso family's administrators are always at odds with the students," the girl shrugged. "You know, in the 1990s, meals at the academy were free, but Frost later abolished it, citing extravagance and waste."

"No wonder Finkel has nothing good to say about him. He curses him so harshly, just as bad as the other one."

"Acting Director," the girl corrected. "Who was the other person who cursed Acting Director Frost?"

"Caesar."

The girl chuckled, turned, and pushed open the small door of the cafe. The aroma of roasted coffee beans mixed with the cool autumn air hit her face. She stepped backward into the warm yellow light. "Come in, their coffee is delicious."

Gu Yi followed Vivian to the window. The autumn sun shone through the large French windows, casting dappled shadows of ginkgo leaves on the wooden tabletop.

Weiweian held her chin and looked out the window: "Junior brother, do you like autumn?"

“I don’t have a particular preference for seasons.”

"Junior brother is a fair person."

"Is it fair?" Gu Yi tilted his head. "But I have a friend who only likes March and April. He hates the rest of the months equally."

"why?"

"Because he said that the temperature is only suitable for human habitation during these two months."

"Junior brother's friend is an interesting person." Vivian chuckled and suddenly raised two fingers and shook them: "Excuse me!"

A girl poked her head out from behind the bar, rolled her eyes when she saw Vivian, and walked over quickly wearing a coffee apron.

"Old rules? 'Pot water', right?" The ballpoint pen tapped impatiently on the order book.

"We have a distinguished guest today." Vivian winked at the other side, "To this..."

Before she could finish her words, the order book had already snapped shut. The girl leaned closer to Gu Yi and said, "You are... Oh my god! S-rank?!"

Without waiting for Gu Yi's answer, she patted her chest and replied, "No need to order! Do you want to try our autumn special? Hazelnut..."

"Give him a basic latte," Vivian interrupted. "It's a perfect coffee for autumn."

After the girl walked away with a pout, Gu Yi lowered his voice and asked, "Why don't you want money?"

"Because you're S-rank, she wants to curry favor with you." The girl shrugged. "So what did Senior Sister order? Why did she order hot pot water?"

"American. Angela, her..." She raised her chin towards the bar, "She's Italian. To them, American is just hot pot water."

"I see. This is the first time I've heard of this."

The shadows of the ginkgo leaves outside the French window slowly drifted between the two of them. Vivian suddenly leaned forward and said, "Junior brother, what have you been busy with this past week? I can't find you anywhere."

"I'm working on a new topic, and I just made some progress yesterday," Gu Yi replied.

"S-class is different. It's only been less than a month since you reported as a freshman, right? And you've already started researching your project." Vivian sighed.
"There's no other way. The project assigned by the principal personally must be completed."

"Many students are still jealous of you." Vivian looked at Gu Yi. "In the Dragon Genealogy class, the principal's undisguised preference for you was practically written on his face."

"Really? I feel like the principal wouldn't refuse any student who takes the initiative to communicate more with him."

"The principal is indeed an elegant old gentleman. But for some reason, he always makes people feel..." She tilted her head, searching for the right words, "a little unapproachable?"

Gu Yi was about to speak when Angela rushed in between them, carrying a tray. "Here I come! One hot pot water and one latte!"

She placed the coffee heavily on the table. "Call me if you need anything else. S-Class, remember to come more often in the future!"

Vivian looked at Angela's back as she skipped away, "How snobby!"

Gu Yi took a sip and said, "The milk tastes good."

"Right!" Vivian chuckled. "Latte is something you drink for breakfast in Italy. It's essentially coffee-flavored milk."

Gu Yi looked at the milk foam swaying in the cup, "Caesar once said that most people don't like coffee, but..."

"A coffee-flavored drink!" The girl suddenly clapped her hands. "I didn't expect Young Master Gattuso to be able to speak human language."

"Do you like coffee, Senior Sister?"

"I like it very much. What about you, Junior? Do you have a preference for coffee?"

"I don't have a particular preference, but I'm more used to drinking tea."

"Yes, you are Chinese." Vivian nodded.

The silver spoon stirred a dark brown vortex, and Gu Yi raised his eyes: "Senior Sister, do you want to talk to me today?"

The girl leaning against the window frame suddenly tilted her head. "What? Can't I go have coffee with my junior brother if I have nothing to do?"

"You know that's not what I meant." Gu Yi put down the spoon.

The girl suddenly deflated, her chin resting on the backs of her folded hands. "Okay, there's something going on. You know that all third-year students have to go to the Execution Bureau's mission site for internship, right?"

"I know. I've already done an internship."

"Yes, yes! You're amazing!" Vivian raised her hands in surrender. "I just received a transfer order from Norma. I'll be reporting to the Executive Bureau next week."

"Intern specialists are usually responsible for logistics and are unlikely to come into direct contact with hazardous areas."

"Stop!" Vivian held out her hand. "Who's worried about that? I just came to say goodbye."

"How long will it take?" Gu Yi put down his coffee.

"Maybe in two weeks." Vivian muttered, "There's no specific location yet."

The phone buzzed like a swarm of bees. Gu Yi unlocked the screen, and Norma's scarlet logo filled the entire interface.
