Throughout his communication with Schneider, Cao Han made no attempt to avoid Beowulf, after all, the latter was a member of the Kassel College Elders Council and the last captain of the Secret Party Action Team.
“I’ve had Norma arrange it for you. There’s a direct flight to your hometown capital in 47 minutes, and then you can transfer to Yekaterinburg, the closest city to the site, in 20 minutes.”
"no problem."
"Your senior will set off immediately to meet you at the Capital Airport in your area."
Schneider had already made clear arrangements for his students even before officially notifying them.
At this very moment, Lucy Pallas is sitting comfortably in front of her computer, wearing a silk nightgown and a face mask on...
Then, amidst the envious and jealous gazes of her other roommates, she leisurely turned on the TV series she had missed for a week.
"Lucy, Lucy~ Tell us what it's like to go on a mission with an S+ class?"
Faced with her best friend's question, Lucy Pallas's hand, which was reaching for snacks, involuntarily froze for a second. "In short, we just goof off together."
"Wow! Really? Lucy, when did you become this strong?"
"I really envy you. You get to carry out missions with S+ level students, which are unprecedented in the school, and still manage to get full GPAs. Unlike us, who have to suffer through exams."
"We agreed to be just pretty faces together, but you've been secretly working hard, haven't you?"
However, to her friends' surprise, Lucy Pallas's next words completely shattered their preconceived notions. In an exaggerated tone, she said, "You're all overthinking it. In fact, it was the junior who swept through the competition, and I was just there to cheer him on!"
The situation is slightly different, but largely the same.
Lucy Pallas following Cao Han on a mission was like a newbie accidentally entering a high-level game. The feeling of walking on thin ice, where any opponent could easily defeat her, was something that not everyone could bear.
"You two have such a great opportunity to live under the same roof in Japan, so why don't you just be ruthless and offer yourself up?"
“I would like to, but I need the opportunity.” Lucy Pallas’s face flushed instantly as if some embarrassing scene appeared in her mind. “To put it in a more fashionable way, Junior Brother Cao Han is a melee berserker who is all-powerful in strength, constitution, and agility, and has no place in his mind for romance.”
Lucy, who was chatting with her roommates about Cao Han behind their backs, was startled when her phone suddenly rang.
next second.
She had a strange, inexplicable feeling of familiarity and unease, and when she picked up her phone to check... sure enough!
This is a thoughtful mission notification from Norma, the head housekeeper at Kassel College. Looking closer, the departure time is only 20 minutes...
My anxiety has finally died!
Chapter 150 Domestic Hybrid Forces
"Teacher~~~"
"If there's anything I've done well, just tell me, and I'll fix it, okay?"
With the departure time for the mission fast approaching, Lucy Pallas quickly packed her bags while also calling her mentor, von Schneider, to complain.
Without a doubt, this familiar "get on the bus first, buy the ticket later" approach could only have come from the head of the executive department.
"Your task this time is to assist Cao Han. It just so happens that foreign languages and tracking are among the few courses you haven't failed."
Listening to Schneider's words, which sounded like a verdict, Lucy Pallas was thankful for her strong ability to accept it. It wasn't all bad news; at least the person she was assisting with the mission was her junior.
Once raw, twice cooked.
Thinking of Cao Han's impressive record during his mission in Japan, I felt a pang of sympathy.
Although she only had this one experience, Lucy Pallas still managed to glean a lot of valuable lessons from working with Cao Han on the mission:
One is that any task that Cao Han needs to perform is definitely not simple, at least not as simple as it seems on the surface!
Another important point is: never, ever, ever be a show-off! This is so important, I have to say it three times!
What poses no threat to her junior Cao Han could be deadly to Lucy Pallas in an instant.
In the two or three days since I returned to school.
Lucy Pallas wholeheartedly agrees with a comment her best friend made: "Reality is like sex; since you can't resist it, you might as well just lie back and enjoy it."
"I'm off on a mission, don't miss me too much, ladies!"
Given the limited time, we had to keep things simple: two sets of clothes and a simple toiletries and makeup bag filled just enough to fill one backpack.
"Go to hell, Lucy Pallas!"
"You're acting all innocent after getting a good deal. How about we switch? I'd like to go on a mission with an S+ level junior too."
"boom!"
Finally, Lucy's roommate, unable to bear Lucy's hypocritical behavior of getting the better deal, grabbed a tissue from the table and threw it towards the door.
The agile Lucy Pallas dodged it, and the impact slammed against the door.
……
at the same time.
On the other side, within the Beowulf family.
Beowulf, who had once been the captain of the Secret Service's action team, naturally understood what an emergency situation and mission meant, and he didn't say anything more about inviting Cao Han to a banquet.
Instead, he immediately dispatched his men to take the person to the nearest airport.
"Cao Han, rest assured, I will never break my promise. You will see Lilith at Kassel College when the new semester begins."
"Then I'll look forward to it, and maybe we'll even see each other before school starts." Cao Han kept Beowulf in suspense, not directly telling him about Leviathan, the king of the ocean and water.
After all, Fingel's current signal is only detected by a monitoring station in the Arctic, and it is the same as the whale song audio obtained from the mysterious "prince" during the Greenland ice sea incident.
Learning from past mistakes is crucial for future success. Having learned a painful lesson, the Secret Service will likely be much more cautious this time.
While it's said that Kassel College recruits elite mixed-race students from all over the world, the truly elite students are few and far between, and losing even one would be a huge loss.
"I haven't even had a chance to fully enjoy driving my Bugatti yet!"
After getting into the business class and taking his seat, Cao Han felt a little regretful about his new car. It wasn't that he was heartbroken about the money; he just felt it was a bit of a waste.
I often find myself in a high-speed state, and after a while, I can't stand the slow pace of daily life. Only when I'm driving a supercar at breakneck speed on the road can I feel a little bit of fun.
This may be a common problem among users of the "Speed-Up" type of incantation.
Cao Han now understands why Principal Angers' personal vehicles all require special modifications by the Equipment Department.
He had already planned it out. Once he returned to school and had time, he would definitely go to the equipment department and ask them to help him modify his vehicle.
As for the rumors of the "explosion maniac," it's the least of the concerns for speedsters; they simply need to get away from the blast radius before the explosion threatens them.
Taking advantage of the brief lull before takeoff, Cao Han deliberately took out his phone and opened QQ to check—
"Monster Hunter Association Supportive Communication Group"
[Prince]: "Why hasn't Brother Ji shown up these past two days? University should be on summer vacation by now, right?"
[Sword Immortal]: "He's probably busy with repeating a grade."
It's worth noting that this year marks Fingel's fourth year at Kassel College.
The fact that Fingel had to repeat a year because he failed too many courses and didn't have enough GPA was nothing new in the group chat, and he himself often joked about it.
【Takemikazuchi】: "@Prince, don't forget to go to the amusement park and aquarium tomorrow."
[Crown Prince]: "Oh dear~ Senior Brother, why did you bring me along on your date, you're just a third wheel?"
[Sword Immortal]: "Mingfei, tell me what's going on?"
Upon hearing the conversation between Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei, the others immediately started gossiping, as if they had smelled juicy tidbits.
Even Cao Han was no exception.
If I remember correctly, there was indeed a scene in the original novel where Chu Zihang and Xiaolongnu Xia Mi went to the amusement park and aquarium. It's just unclear whether Lu Mingfei, the "third wheel," was involved in that scene.
It seems that Xiaolongnu Xia Mi is currently launching a fierce attack on her cold-faced senior brother Chu Zihang.
This time, Chu Tianjiao didn't get caught in the torrent of the rainy night, and Chu Zihang didn't reach the point of sealing his heart and locking away his love. Maybe the two of them really have a chance.
Cao Han quickly checked Novsky's chat history in the group and found it to be completely blank.
This indicates that the other party has never spoken since joining the group chat.
But that makes sense. Novsky, who is also a senior this year, is busy with various tasks in the executive department. The ace specialist also has a nickname, "Ox-Horse Holy Body". Even when he is back at school, he is not free and needs to deal with the various affairs piled up by the Lionheart Society.
Traditionally, the president of the Lionheart Society is required to step down during the senior year internship.
But even the most skilled cook can't make a meal without rice. Novsky didn't know if he was cursed or what, but everyone he valued was unwilling to take on the prestigious and responsible position of the Lionheart Society's president.
The previous one was Genjiro, who ran away and returned to Japan, and is now the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.
Next up is Cao Han, needless to say, he formed his own gang and even recruited Novsky into it.
"Speaking of which, I almost forgot to link the flame to Lilith~"
"Never mind, it's fine to pass on the torch all at once after the new students are recruited after school starts."
Considering that the guild level has now been upgraded to level 2 and the maximum number of members has reached 50, the basic conditions for recruiting a limited number of members have been met.
Cao Han had already decided on his office location, choosing the Amber Building on campus.
Amber Hall is a villa-style building with a Gothic spire, and it is also a paid venue on campus that can provide activity space for various clubs.
Small interest groups within the school, such as the music club, typically only rent a portion of the Amber Hall when holding events.
But Cao Han was different!
This time, Cao Han plans to take over the entire Amber Pavilion and make it their daily base for the "Legendary Creature Hunters and Human World Order Maintainers Association".
If it weren't for the school's rule that public places like Amber Hall could only be rented for one year at a time, he might have wanted to rent it for ten or eight years straight.
These are all digressions.
Seeing that there was no information about Novsky in the QQ group, Cao Han sighed.
To be honest, he was also hoping for the best, in case Novsky thought of using this method to send him a clue.
Reality proved that I was overthinking it!
"Sir, the plane is about to take off. Please turn off your communication devices and fasten your seatbelt."
"Ok."
This flight from London to the capital is approximately 8187 kilometers long and is expected to take about 9 hours.
This doesn't even include the time needed to transfer to a flight to Yekaterinburg.
