Chapter 53 You also love watching EVA
The results of the underwater swimming are in.
Lu Mingfei is first, Caesar is second, Zero is third, Susie is fourth, and Nono is fifth.
Actually, you could say that Susie and Nono are on par.
Their scores were similar, basically it was a matter of whoever performed slightly better winning, which was completely different from the step-like gap between the top three.
When Lu Mingfei saw the result, he thought to himself, "This is still not good. Senior Brother Zihang has failed again."
Chu Zihang's Word of Power is Junyan, a fire-type Word of Power, and he didn't even participate in this test.
After all, even if they passed the test, they wouldn't send him to work underwater. Sending a guy who set fires into the water is quite a feat. Do they really think he's a master of reverse attributes?
So you see, he's in a group with Caesar or Zero. Considering interpersonal relationships, it's him in a group with Zero.
How could Caesar be paired with Susie? He'd definitely be paired with Nono, since they're a couple.
"Alright, let's divide into groups now. Group A: Lu Mingfei and Susie; Group B: Caesar and Zero. Anyone have any questions?"
"I have a question!"
The result was not exactly the same as he expected, but it was completely unrelated, so Lu Mingfei raised his hand.
Manstein sighed deeply, and then spoke with a sense of helplessness.
"Speak."
"Why are Caesar and Zero in the same group? Shouldn't Zero and I be in the same group? It would be more appropriate for people who are close to train in the same group."
"Unfortunately, the Executive Department's rule is that diving partners cannot have personal feelings for each other, so you can't be paired with Zero, and Caesar can't be paired with Nono. This pairing is the most suitable, since you don't know each other well."
Manstein looked at Lu Mingfei and offered the following explanation.
Lu Mingfei, however, spoke with an expression of utter incomprehension.
"But I remember Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya are a couple, how could they dive together?"
"So they can't be diving partners anymore."
"That's really a shame."
Upon hearing Manstein's words, Lu Mingfei replied without any regret.
In the end, Lu Mingfei accepted the arrangement. The grouping was indeed good, with people from all three clubs participating, which was quite even.
Susie and he worked well together because Lu Mingfei insisted on bringing his Benevolent Guiying Ziwu Yuanyang Longhu Hero Phoenix Nirvana Seven Star Ruthless Double Swords.
Susie's Word of Power is Sword Control, which is a technique that manipulates something similar to a magnetic field to control metal objects within a certain range, thus assisting Lu Mingfei's actions.
Lu Mingfei exclaimed that Risotto was so cool, his swordsmanship was much cooler than Junyan's and Kamaitachi's.
Yes, they were trained outside the scope of the precepts.
Otherwise, when it comes to actually carrying out a mission and needing to use the power of words, if no one knows how to use the other person's power of words, or even gets accidentally injured, wouldn't that be abstract?
However, if Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo were paired together, they could train on campus, since neither of them possessed any magical abilities.
"Susie is a nice person."
Looking at his combat uniform in his dormitory, Lu Mingfei blurted out this sentence out of the blue.
The dog was so startled it almost fell off its stool.
"Are you going to pursue Susie?"
"Are you crazy?"
Lu Mingfei slapped Fengou on the forehead as he turned around with his slipper.
"I was just admiring how hard she works, why are you overthinking it? You're such a sex-obsessed person, go find a girlfriend if you're feeling repressed."
Fen threw the slipper back to Lu Mingfei, but Lu Mingfei caught it, preventing it from hitting his head.
"Who would date someone like me, the lowest-ranking person in the whole school... but I think Susie is a nice person."
"Oh, you're going to pursue Susie?"
He kicked the ball back, but unfortunately, Finn wasn't buying it. He just reached out and played the accordion in the air while speaking.
"Well, you're both from the same country, and she's a good person who doesn't have a boyfriend. You two are a good match."
"You're messing around with matchmakers like this! Wait, isn't she Chu Zihang's girlfriend?"
Lu Mingfei suddenly realized the key point: he had always thought Su Qian was Chu Zihang's girlfriend.
After all, when Zihang goes out, Su Xi always drives, or vice versa; in any case, the two of them always take the driver's seat and the passenger seat.
"That's right, Susie likes Chu Zihang, Chu Zihang knows Susie likes him, and Susie knows Chu Zihang knows she likes him, but so far they haven't had any relationship outside of work."
At this point, Fen Gou stood up, patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder with a solemn expression, and said.
"I think you still have a good chance, keep it up, junior!"
What he didn't expect was that by standing up, Lu Mingfei would see what was on his computer screen.
The dense text above describes a novel written by Fen Gou based on him, in which the protagonist, Lu Mingfei, painfully rejects the love confession of the mortal Su Xiaoqiang and goes to the immortal sect.
The current plot is... the protagonist is once again on a mission with a beautiful swordswoman from the sect... oh—
Lu Mingfei stood up, forcing Fen Gou to take two steps back, and then shouted loudly.
"What do you mean there's hope! I think you're just reluctant to give up that little bit of data!!!"
But he didn't flip the table because the computer was his; it was a pity.
After ordering Fingel to delete all the messy romantic scenes and replace them with a plot where the protagonist learns drunken boxing and starts drinking heavily every day, Lu Mingfei sat back on the bed.
He looked at his clothes, mainly because they looked strangely familiar, like clothes from a certain anime he had seen.
"...EVA? Uh...what's wrong with you now?"
Seeing Fingel suddenly stand up, Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled.
"Oh...it's nothing. I just remembered we haven't taken pictures of your outfit yet. What do you think would be a good title? 'S-Class Student Cosplaying?' or 'Exposing! The School's Perverse Taste of Costumes!'"
Yes, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about the fact that wetsuits are form-fitting; the power of technology is immense, and wetsuits are no longer in the cyclops stage.
However, the color scheme and accessories look too much like the combat suit from EVA, specifically the one from Neon Genesis Evangelion, and this outfit...
"Junior brother, why don't you go and report this? It should be either Kaworu Nagisa or Shinji Ikari, Rei Ayanami is way too much."
Yes, Lu Mingfei's diving suit is extremely similar to the one worn by the female lead.
"This is standard procedure, it's always like this."
Lu Mingfei calmly said, "Wait a minute."
"You've also watched EVA?"
"How novel! I'm a homebody, otherwise why would I have repeated a grade for four years?"
So Lu Mingfei and Fen Gou started talking about Neon Genesis Evangelion. When you meet a fellow fan, you can talk about it endlessly and enjoyably.
..........
"So now that I think about it, Shinji Ikari is just a melancholy kid. He's much better than you were in high school, junior. It's not that he didn't play, but he just messed with everyone's mentality."
Fingo took a sip of his drink, feeling indignant on Shinji Ikari's behalf.
"To be honest, I've always felt that the adults in EVA are a bit arrogant and incompetent. Even though all the plans depend on Shinji, everyone is under pressure from beginning to end and doesn't take him seriously. Aren't they afraid that Shinji will really quit and run away? They all act like they read the script in advance, like..."
Lu Mingfei fell silent. He realized that these people were just like the people in Twisted Three Kingdoms, only Fingel hadn't noticed. He agreed and spoke up.
"Yeah! Even if it's for the Wall of Hearts, would Shinji have been able to come back those times if it weren't for the power of the script? A bunch of idiots."
.........
The two continued chatting for a while, from the plot to the female characters. At this point, Fingel looked at Lu Mingfei with incomprehension.
"Junior brother, I thought there were only the Rei Party and the Kaori Party, maybe with the Misato Party at most. The Kaoru Party was already quite abstract, but you're actually a Mashimi Party member?"
Lu Mingfei stiffened his neck in displeasure.
"What's wrong with Mari? Mari is so great. A good girl with stable emotions and a strong core is the rarest. You might as well drown in Rika's arms."
