Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

Chapter 80 The Pain of Losing My Beloved, Desolation Everywhere

Fingel stared wide-eyed at Lu Mingfei and Nono's intimate interaction, his mouth agape for a long time. Only after they finished talking and Nono turned to lead the way into Kassel College did he quietly sneak up to Lu Mingfei and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, wink and say, "Junior brother, impressive! You even managed to snag Caesar's girlfriend! But does Caesar know about this?"

"Does he need to know?" Lu Mingfei asked rhetorically.

"Why wouldn't you need to? If you steal someone's girlfriend, shouldn't you at least tell them?" Fingel raised his eyebrows, looking gossipy.

"Do you know when, in serious anime, after Huang Mao Niu has done something wrong, the victim usually doesn't find out?" Lu Mingfei asked quietly.

Fingel recalled some content he had seen in Japanese anime, and a shocked expression immediately appeared on his face. Pointing at Lu Mingfei, he finally managed to stammer, "Junior brother, you're really not human! And are you sure that was legitimate anime?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei immediately straightened his face, coughed lightly, and corrected him: "How is it not a proper anime? Besides, Xiaofen, what did you just call me?"

"Call me junior brother, what's wrong? What's the problem?" Fingel looked bewildered, not knowing what Lu Mingfei was up to now.

"Before we entered Kassel, you called me 'Junior Brother,' and I didn't mind," Lu Mingfei raised his chin, tapped the ground of Kassel College beneath his feet, and asked with a raised eyebrow, "But now, what should you call me?"

Fingel froze on the spot, not understanding what Lu Mingfei meant.

Seeing that he didn't get it after a while, Lu Mingfei turned to Professor Guderian who was following behind and asked with a smile, "Professor, may I ask who Fingel's mentor was?"

Professor Guderian was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then scratched his messy hair and laughed somewhat awkwardly: "Uh—Fingal's mentor is actually me—"

"I see," Lu Mingfei nodded, adopting the stern and unsmiling demeanor of a new principal. "As the new principal of Kassel College, I absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of a student like Fingel who doesn't respect his teachers. Here's what I've decided: Fingel will be given a delayed graduation penalty. As for how long, that will depend entirely on his future behavior." His tone was like that of someone sentencing a criminal to death in court.

"No, no, no! Principal, I was wrong! I was really wrong!" Fingel panicked on the spot, rushing over and almost grabbing Lu Mingfei's leg, wailing with a bitter face, "I've already extended my studies for four years! My family has long since cut off my source of income, and I'm only able to make a living by doing odd jobs at the college. If I don't graduate soon, I'm really going to starve to death on the back mountain of the college, Principal!"

Looking at his performance, Lu Mingfei nodded in satisfaction: "To err is human, to forgive divine. However, the mistake you just made cannot be forgiven. If you behave well in the future, I will naturally reduce your punishment accordingly."

Su Xiaoqiang, who was standing next to Professor Guderian, was surprised to hear Fingel say that he had extended his studies for four years. She couldn't help but turn to Professor Guderian and ask, "Professor, is the atmosphere at Kassel College like this—" She couldn't find the right words for a moment, and after a pause, she continued, "Senior Fingel has been extended his studies for four years, and the college hasn't expelled him yet?"

Before Professor Guderian could answer, Fingel blurted out, his face contorted with pain, "Junior sister, that's so hurtful! Although I've delayed graduation, I—"

He was interrupted by Lu Mingfei when he was only halfway through his sentence. Lu Mingfei pointed to himself, then to Su Xiaoqiang beside him, and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Hmm? You think you can just call her 'junior sister' like that? I'm the principal, she's my girlfriend. Do I have to teach you what to call her?"

"Uh—then—the principal's wife?" Fingel asked cautiously.

Lu Mingfei was very satisfied, but Su Xiaoqiang blushed instantly and quickly waved her hand in protest: "No, no, no, that's too strange. Just call me junior." She really couldn't accept being called "Madam" by a slovenly senior who was several years older than her.

After the farce ended, Professor Guderian finally got a chance to speak, adjusting his glasses to explain, "Actually, Fingel has made quite a few contributions to the academy. His delayed graduation was the result of his own lack of effort. Expelling him would be a bit too much, after all, he was a genius who entered as an A-level student..."

Before Professor Guderian could finish speaking, a piercing alarm suddenly blared through the air, echoing throughout the academy. Professor Guderian and Masafumi Tomiyama's faces instantly turned grim.

"Huh, an air raid siren? We just arrived at the academy and it's already been hacked?" Xia Mi was a little confused at first, then became excited, her eyes sparkling: "Senior, look! Isn't this a classic scene from anime? The protagonist just arrives at a new place, and something immediately happens there. It means we're born to be protagonists!"

"Oh no... I didn't expect it to start so soon... Hurry up and get inside, find a place to hide!" Masashi Tomiyama was sweating profusely, waving his hand to urge everyone on.

"Mingfei, hurry up and follow me, let's hide in the office!" Professor Guderian said solemnly, and then followed Masashi Tomiyama and rushed towards the teaching building next door.

Lu Mingfei didn't run after him, his pace remaining unhurried. He turned to Nuonuo, who had been standing silently to the side, and asked, "What's going on? It's not some kind of 'Freedom Day' you mentioned, is it?"

"That's right, this is it." Nono smiled, pulled out a Walther PPK pistol from somewhere, skillfully chambered a round, and then struck a cool pose with Lu Mingfei, holding the gun up: "How about it? Junior brother, interested in joining us?"

"Live-action CS? Yay! I want to join! I want to join!" Before Lu Mingfei could even speak, Xia Mi excitedly agreed and skipped over to Nuonuo.

Nono looked at the quirky girl with some curiosity. Although Lu Mingfei had mentioned Xia Mi to her when he visited her during the holidays, they had never had a chance to meet. Now that she saw her, she felt that the girl's personality was to her liking, and she thought that the two of them would definitely get along well.

Su Xiaoqiang was also eager to try this kind of game, so the three girls turned their heads in unison and turned their gazes to Lu Mingfei, who had not yet expressed his opinion.

"I'm not going. I'm not interested in this kind of childish game. I feel it's not as good as StarCraft." Lu Mingfei refused decisively.

"Don't be so heartless, senior brother," Xia Mi came up and hugged Lu Mingfei's arm, shaking it back and forth, pleading in a soft voice, "Just keep this freshman junior sister company for a bit, okay? It's my first time at the academy, and I want to experience the academy's traditional activities too." Su Xiaoqiang also nodded in agreement, following Xia Mi's words to persuade Lu Mingfei to join in.

Nono originally wanted to go up and say a few words to Lu Mingfei, but suddenly her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at the roof of the administrative building not far away—a sniper scope just flashed in the shadow of the roof, and it was too late for her to dodge.

A piercing gunshot rang out, and a large-caliber sniper bullet, accompanied by a whistling sound, struck Nono squarely in the chest. A large patch of red spread across Nono's chest, and the immense impact caused her to stagger back several steps, crashing straight into Lu Mingfei's arms.

"Chovy, are we playing this big?" Lu Mingfei quickly reached out and put his arm around her waist, looking at Nuonuo lying in his arms, and subconsciously complained.

"Junior brother... please use it on them for my sake..." Nuonuo struggled to raise a fist and weakly held it in front of Lu Mingfei. Before she could finish speaking, her eyes closed completely, and her raised hand slid down Lu Mingfei's arm without moving. Her head leaned against his shoulder and remained still.

"No! Nuonuo!" As if infected by the atmosphere, Lu Mingfei looked at Nuonuo lying in his arms and couldn't help but feel a deep sorrow. He looked around and felt that the once lush campus was now covered with a layer of gray, and everything he saw was desolate: "I have lost my love, and all I see is ruin!"
