Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Professor Guderian came up and gave Lu Mingfei a bear hug. After thinking for a while, he gave one to Han Qiu.

"Ming Fei, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I've been a bit busy lately," said Professor Guderian.

"It's okay, professor." Lu Mingfei naturally couldn't resist politeness.

"Sit down, what would you like to drink? Vodka or whiskey?" Professor Guderian said, "I am required to give you an induction training. Personally, I think it would be better if you drink something."

“Uh…” Lu Mingfei’s mind was a little confused, “Drinking?”

"Yes. We can also just give you a shot of sedative. After all, what you are about to accept is a bit unbelievable."

"Tranquilizer!" Lu Mingfei almost stood up. "Not really. It's just an orientation."

"Han Qiu, please talk to Lu Mingfei first." Professor Guderian said.

"What to talk about?" Han Qiu asked.

"About the real world." Professor Guderian felt that letting Han Qiu start would make it easier for Lu Mingfei to accept it.

"Okay." Han Qiu grabbed Lu Mingfei's chin and turned his head away.

The two looked at each other.

"I'm a man." Lu Mingfei reminded.

"I know. I'm not so hungry that I can't tell the gender." Han Qiu smiled.

Then, his pupils began to glow with a faint golden luster.

Lu Mingfei didn't realize the problem yet, but asked curiously: "You wear colored contact lenses, and they change color?"

"Damn." Han Qiu's seriousness suddenly deflated. He scratched his head and said helplessly: "Professor, I really don't know what to say."

"In that case..." Professor Guderian took out an agreement, "Ming Fei, you should sign the agreement first."

Lu Mingfei was confused as to why he had to sign another agreement.

He picked up the paper and gave up the idea of ​​understanding it two seconds later.

"What's this thing for?" he asked.

"You can only be admitted if you sign the confidentiality agreement," said Professor Guderian.

"If you don't want to sign, will you return the same way?" Lu Mingfei looked at Han Qiu, "Why don't you have it?"

"I have signed it." said Han Qiu.

Lu Mingfei: "Can you understand?"

Han Qiu: "I don't understand, but I can't give up on admission, right?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned. That’s right, he couldn’t give up on enrolling in school.

It would be embarrassing to go back now.

He picked up the pen and signed his name in the lower right corner following Professor Guderian's instructions.

When I looked up again, Professor Guderian had already pulled down the curtain behind him.

Under the curtain is a huge oil painting.

Under the iron-blue sky, a giant tree stood tall, its dying branches covering the entire sky.

The wasteland was littered with corpses, and a black... giant monster was crawling out from under a throne made of piled bones, its black wings covering the sky.

Lu Mingfei seemed to be able to hear the roar of the behemoth, crossing the wilderness and breaking through the limitations of the painting.

"This thing... a dragon?" he asked tremblingly.

"Correct answer." Professor Guderian introduced: "To be precise, he should be called the Black Emperor Dragon King Nidhogg. He is the source of everything. Kassel Academy, strictly speaking, is an academy for studying dragons. We train excellent hybrids, who either become warriors or researchers. Everything the academy does is for one purpose... to slay dragons. To send the dragon race to the grave."

Lu Mingfei stood there in a daze, feeling his buttocks were particularly cold.

Are you kidding me?

Are there dragons in this world?

"Welcome, Lu Mingfei. With your 'S' grade bloodline, you will become the best among us, one of the best dragon slayers." Professor Guderian continued.

"This... you must be kidding, professor." Lu Mingfei forced a smile.

"No kidding." Han Qiu answered the question for Professor Guderian. He patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder and said, "This kind of creature does exist in this world. There is also a kind of superhuman that is a mixture of dragon and human. It is called a hybrid."

“Descendants of the Dragon?” Lu Mingfei was a little mad. They were all crazy.

"It seems that we need to come up with something interesting." Professor Guderian got into the front carriage and said, "Wait for me."

Lu Mingfei sat there in a daze, he hadn't recovered yet.

"Han Qiu, you are kidding, right?"

"Han Qiu?"

Seeing that Han Qiu did not respond, Lu Mingfei turned to look at Han Qiu.

However, sitting in Han Qiu's seat was a boy in a suit.

Lu Mingfei felt that he looked familiar. Yes, he remembered the young man sitting on the giant tree in his dream.

"Who are you?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Where is Han Qiu?"

"That interesting guy went to the toilet." The boy said calmly. He had the same golden pupils as Han Qiu, but the luster was much brighter than Han Qiu's, like the difference between the bright moon and the stars. "You are finally here."

"Come?" Lu Mingfei stammered, "What?"

"The Kingdom of Dragons. As for me, you can call me Lu Mingze, brother." The boy said obediently.

Lu Mingfei was so frightened by the word "brother" that he broke out in a cold sweat, "Lu Mingze?"

"Yes, brother."

"It's crazy, this world is crazy." Lu Mingfei said.

"No, on the contrary, it's you who's crazy, brother."

Lu Mingfei wanted to escape from here, so he stood up and walked towards the carriage where Professor Guderian was going. When he opened the door, he saw an endless ice field.

On the snowy mountain at the end of the ice field, the Black Emperor was crawling there, his blood flowing down the mountain, dyeing everything red.

Well, Lu Mingfei was sure that he was dreaming.

"Nidhoggr was once killed on the throne, but its existence is almost immortal. It will come back again and be killed again." The boy walked to Lu Mingfei.

"What does this have to do with me?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"You'll be the one to kill it again."

“Because of Kassel College?” Lu Mingfei spread his hands, “I haven’t been there yet.”

"No, Kassel Academy is not enough to be your stage. Your stage is the world." The boy said seriously: "How can a despicable half-blood be compared with you?"

"In other words, I'm not a hybrid of a human and a dragon?" Lu Mingfei originally wanted to say 'hybrid'.

The boy smiled strangely and did not answer. He jumped off the train and ran on the ice field.

So lonely, so fearless.

----

"Wake up, wake up." Han Qiu patted Lu Mingfei's cheek. This guy fainted while going to the toilet. How cruel.

Professor Guderian stood nearby with two black suitcases and said with a smile, "It's good to be young. You can fall asleep as soon as you lie down."

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes dazedly, and felt much more relieved when he saw Han Qiu and Professor Guderian were there.

"Are you scared to death?" Han Qiu stretched out his hands. "If you are new, just practice more."

"..." Lu Mingfei asked: "How long have I slept?"

"About an hour." said Han Qiu.

"Ming Fei, the training isn't over yet." Professor Guderian placed a black briefcase on the table and opened it with his fingerprint.

Inside is a black scale, the size of a cup mouth. Under the light, it has a bright luster and clear patterns.

"What is that?" Lu Mingfei stared at the scales.

"You can feel the dragon's scales," said Professor Guderian.

Lu Mingfei stretched out his finger and touched it. It was very cold, yet had a certain toughness.

Professor Guderian took it out directly and put it in his hand.

Lu Mingfei found it incredible that such a large scale was as light as a feather.

"Can you use a gun?" Professor Guderian asked, taking out a pistol.

The sudden appearance of hot weapons once again made Lu Mingfei unable to recover, but considering that this was the United States, it made sense.

"Shoot it," said Professor Guderian.

"It's a bit heavy." Lu Mingfei picked up the pistol with man's instinct. Holding the real gun in his hand, he felt like 007.

There was a loud gunshot and Lu Mingfei stepped back. He should have held the gun with both hands, but now his right wrist was stiff and painful.

If Han Qiu hadn't stepped forward to stop him, Lu Mingfei would have probably hit the wall of the carriage.

After steadying himself, Lu Mingfei looked at the intact scales and fell into deep thought.

Did I hit it?

This shouldn't be the case. I've shot targets during military training. It shouldn't be this close.

"You hit it successfully." said Professor Guderian.

Lu Mingfei remained silent.

Then Professor Guderian opened another box.

Inside was a cylindrical glass bottle filled with a pale yellow liquid.

There was something floating in the liquid.

"Believe in it and you will be able to accept the unacceptable," Guderian said.

Lu Mingfei and Han Qiu approached at the same time.

After seeing what was inside, Lu Mingfei couldn't stop trembling.

A dragon, a true dragon, looks like a lizard, but has membranous wings, dragon whiskers on its mouth, and is red all over.

"What kind of lizard is this?" Lu Mingfei asked with the last glimmer of hope.

"No, it's a red dragon cub." Professor Guderian introduced it, "It's a very weak dragon, but that doesn't stop it from being perfect."

Crazy, all crazy.

As Professor Guderian said, Lu Mingfei has begun to believe it, very thoroughly.

"You knew all this a long time ago?" Lu Mingfei looked at Han Qiu.

"Yeah." Han Qiu nodded, "But it's not that comprehensive. I just knew very early on that I was not an ordinary person. But I didn't expect that you were also 'S' level."

Lu Mingfei felt that his worldview had completely collapsed. He turned his head and took another look at the red dragon.

However, at this glance, the red dragon opened its eyes, as if it saw something terrifying, and instinctively moved back, opening its mouth and spitting out a little flame.

As it opened its mouth, light yellow liquid poured into it.

It woke up, for a brief moment, and then fell asleep again.
