Lionheart Society: I am an S-class freshman, with infinite power of words.

Nono wanted to say something more, but Lin Chen interrupted her.

"Pack your luggage, the car is here!"

In the distance, the sounds of bells and truck horns could be heard.

At 2 a.m., the CC1000 train, which was not on the timetable, quietly pulled into the station, its headlights flickering faintly on the platform.

A dark figure stepped out of the train and walked to the empty ticket gate.

That was the train conductor, wearing a dark green uniform with a gold badge pinned to his chest, looking around and speaking into the waiting room.

"CC1000 Express Train, departing from Chicago Central Station. Passengers with tickets, please proceed to board in an orderly manner!"

The sound echoed throughout the large waiting hall, but it did not cause any disturbance.

That's the power of words—the ghost. It reduces its own presence, and its words and actions can be hidden from humans.

Only hybrids can perceive all of this; otherwise, he is as lonely as a ghost.

Lin Chen and Nuonuo walked towards this place, pulling their suitcases.

Lin Chen swiped his ticket through the ticket verification machine and passed through the blocking turnstile.

The train conductor looked at Lin Chen and Nuonuo with some surprise: "Just the two of you?"

Lin Chen nodded: "What? Are you going to wait until you have enough people before you leave?"

In Lin Chen's memory, some unlicensed taxis did not follow the timetable, but instead determined the number of passengers.

When asked why they weren't leaving, the ticket seller kindly explained that it would be a loss to only take you; the ticket money wouldn't even cover the gas costs!

"No, no, no," the train conductor explained. "Special trains rarely depart for a small number of students; you must be high-ranking freshmen."

Lin Chen and Nuonuo boarded the train. The interior of the carriage was in an elegant Western style, with solid wood stripes decorating the portholes, patterned wallpaper on the walls, and even genuine leather sofas on the seats.

The familiar Manstein came from another carriage and handed Lin Chen and Nuonuo two sets of clothes.

"This is the school uniform. Now that you're here, you're freshmen at Kassel College!"

Lin Chen entered the cubicle and quickly changed his clothes.

Kassel College has a particular fondness for dark green, and the school uniforms are also in that color.

He wore a white shirt underneath and a dark green suit jacket on top.

A golden school badge with the half-decayed World Tree symbol was pinned to his chest.

Lin Chen had not reported his measurements, but the school uniform fit his figure perfectly, making his already well-proportioned body appear even more upright.

After Lin Chen changed his clothes, he came out and saw that Nuonuo had also changed her clothes.

She wore a women's dark green suit jacket on top, but a dark green pleated skirt on the bottom.

She wore black over-the-knee stockings under her skirt, which hugged the perfect curves of her calves.

This gives Nono an even fresher look, and the combination of her innocence and mature charm creates a unique beauty.

Manstein led Lin Chen and Nuonuo to their seats: "Next is the orientation session. Would you like an iced Americano to wake up before we begin?"

Nono was about to agree when Lin Chen shook his head: "I just had coffee, and it's already past midnight. How about a hot chocolate instead?"

After all, there are cultural differences, and people from China clearly pay more attention to health and wellness.

It's definitely not a good thing to make a girl drink ice water in the middle of the night.

Lin Chen poured Nuonuo a cup of hot chocolate, which immediately increased Nuonuo's goodwill towards him.

Manstein nodded and handed over two documents.

"Before the orientation, you will need to sign a confidentiality agreement. The contents are an ancient alchemical scroll written in English and Latin, called the Abrahamic Bloodline Pact, which is related to the dragon bloodline in your veins!"

Lin Chen knew about this thing; this contract contained too many things.

It's like the rules within the hybrid race, defining their responsibilities and restricting their freedom.

Even intermarriage between mixed-race individuals is subject to the control of bloodline contracts.

Such a bloodline contract is perfectly acceptable and maintains a long-term balance among mixed-race individuals.

Lin Chen did not hesitate and quickly signed the confidentiality agreement.

Manstein nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, let's begin our orientation."

6: Dormitory assignment completed, roommate is Fingel! (Seeking flowers and ratings!)

Lin Chen and Nuonuo sat opposite Manstein, who was talking eloquently.

"Welcome to Kassel College. We are a legally registered private university with a closed, militarized management system."

"After entering the campus, you will take the entrance qualification exam—the 3E exam—before you can choose your major and courses!"

"Later, the college will assign you a job based on your major and personal abilities, such as the equipment department for scientific research, the execution department for front-line dragon slaying, or staying at the school to teach."

"If you need to pursue a degree, master's and doctoral students can only study at this university."

"The academy's mission is not complicated; simply put, it can be summed up in two words... Dragon Slayer!"

"For thousands of years, we have shared the secrets of the dragon race, constantly nurturing hybrid offspring and sending them to the battlefield to slay dragons!"

"You are all from mixed-race families of the Chinese nation, so I think there is no need for further introduction."

"What you need is to acknowledge that from this moment on, you have carried on the legacy of your predecessors."

"With the boiling dragon blood within you, bury the dragon race utterly!"

"Welcome to the school, Lin Chen and Chen Motong!"

……

The train sped through the dimly lit mountains, entering the deep mountains of Illinois.

On the hillside by the distant lake stands a group of quaint buildings, the secluded Kassel College.

As the train pulled into the station, the sky outside was already beginning to lighten.

According to the information in the admission handbook, new students will first go to their dormitories to register.

Nono exchanged contact information with Lin Chen: "We'll be classmates from now on, so let's look out for each other!"

Lin Chen didn't expose Nuonuo's intention: "Let's go out for a meal together after we're settled!"

"Okay!" Nono said happily. "Then, bye-bye."

"Bye-Bye."

As arranged by Manstein, Lin Chen went to his dormitory.

The dormitories at Kassel College are quite nice; after all, it's a private university, and all the dorms are double rooms.

Lin Chen found his dormitory room, the door of which was ajar.

There must be someone staying there; it should be the person Manstein mentioned who resembles him somewhat.

Lin Chen knocked gently on the door, and after a long while, a tired voice came from inside.

"Who?"

Lin Chen gently pushed open the door, and the entire room was revealed before him.

The room is fully equipped with a bathroom and kitchen, and even has a computer.

The only downside was that the beds were bunk beds, and I could vaguely sense someone fast asleep on the top bunk.

Sensing someone enter, the person on the upper bunk slightly woke up, rubbing their sleepy eyes as they sat up.

Golden hair fell across her face, and the muscles that were faintly visible were hidden by the wrinkles in her pajamas.

The man sat slumped on the bed, looking like a defeated dog.

Lin Chen suddenly knew who it was.

The male protagonist's roommate in the original work, one of the few students in the entire school who had repeated a year.

Georg von Frings.

Lin Chen nodded to Fingel and said, "Hello, I'm Lin Chen, a freshman. I was just assigned to this dormitory!"

Fingel's eyes lit up instantly, his previous weariness vanished, and he immediately jumped out of bed: "New roommate! Please, please sit down, this is great news! Come on, let me tidy up the chair..."

Fingel's clothes were piled on the chair, suggesting that the guy lived a rather unkempt life.

Fingel was clearly much happier: "I'd been thinking that I'd be assigned a roommate for the new semester, but it turns out to be a freshman. What should I call him?"

"My name is Lin Chen." Lin Chen repeated helplessly, "Senior, shouldn't you eat some walnuts?"

"Huh?" Fingel was taken aback. "Walnuts? Are they a specialty of your hometown?"

Lin Chen was speechless: "It means to replenish the brain."

"Ooh!" Fingel rubbed his eyes. "I just woke up and my brain isn't working too well. Wait a minute, I'm going to wash my face!"

Fingel turned and walked towards the bathroom, while Lin Chen placed his luggage on the bed.
