The two principals, plus Cao Han's future mentor, von Schneider.
The three of them were probably the only people at Kassel College who knew Cao Han quite well.
Although the number of people had decreased, Cao Han understood that the real "main event" was yet to come.
He knew perfectly well what it was all about; it was simply about how to deal with this second-generation dragon body.
“I am Hilbert Jean Angers, the principal of Kassel College. I am very grateful that you stepped forward on the plane to kill this sub-species and save our professors and students.”
"It's nothing, Principal Angers, you don't need to worry about it. Even if it weren't for saving people, I would have taken action without hesitation if I encountered a dragon."
In Cao Han's eyes, pure-blooded dragons were just walking "evolutionary values," and he would kill them without hesitation if given the chance.
At the age of 130, Angers boasted that he had some experience and insights into judging people by their eyes. When Cao Han said those words, he only saw the sincerity in Cao Han's eyes, which was not a lie at all.
"A fellow traveler!"
That short sentence was enough for Angers to silently label him in his mind.
"This is Vice Principal Nicholas Flamel, also the best alchemist of our time."
When introducing the vice principal, Angers solemnly mentioned his identity as the strongest alchemist, which was also a prelude to the content to be discussed next.
"Hello, Vice Principal, it's an honor to meet you!"
"You're too kind~"
As a vice principal who was well-versed in China, he naturally knew that this was just polite talk from an Easterner and did not take it seriously. Cao Han had never actually heard of his name.
"You must be tired from your journey. Schneider will arrange accommodation for you. Get some rest tonight."
By the way, how about coming over for afternoon tea with this centenarian tomorrow afternoon?
Cao Han was slightly surprised that the conversation would turn to business, but instead, Angers extended an invitation to him before leaving. "No problem!"
The principal's afternoon tea?
That's not a traditional event at Kassel College; it's said that they only invite the most outstanding students, and many students don't even get this opportunity after graduating from university in four years.
As a result, Cao Han achieved an honor on his first day of school that others might not be able to accomplish in four years.
Chapter 58 Hell is empty, demons are in the world
Room 304, Section 1, Dormitory Building.
This is the dormitory that Schneider arranged for Cao Han. The layout is the ultimate deluxe PLUS version of most four-person dorm rooms, nothing special.
It has everything you need for daily life, and even the electronic trio—phone, computer, and tablet—are the latest models.
This is quite thoughtful for a student like Cao Han who brought "himself" with him.
"Rest tonight, and contact me when you wake up tomorrow."
"Your neighbor across the hall is Fingel. If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to ask him."
After leaving behind these two final words, von Schneider's tall, thin figure disappeared into the night.
Just as Cao Han was about to turn around and go back to his dormitory, the door opposite him opened a crack, and seeing that there was no movement, a furtive head with a lewd expression gradually appeared.
Yoho~
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be none other than Fingel, the "enthusiastic comrade" whom Professor Schneider had mentioned before leaving.
"Senior Fingel, what's wrong with you...?"
"Has Minister Schneider left?"
"gone."
"That's good!"
Fingel only appeared confidently from the doorway after hearing that von Schneider had already left.
The next second, with lightning speed, he lunged forward, grabbed Cao Han's right hand with both hands, shook it vigorously, and said obsequiously:
"Junior, you'll have to look after me at school from now on!"
"Of course, I'm the head of the press office at Kassel College, so if you have any information you'd like to find out, feel free to ask me!"
That’s what I’ve been waiting for!
Before entering Kassel College, Cao Han had already secretly compiled a list of talents he wanted to recruit into the association based on his memories of the original work.
At the very front of the line was Fingel, dressed casually, unkempt, seemingly decadent but actually harboring a fierce tiger within!
His main criteria for selecting talent are not his ability or skills.
Cao Han was confident that there was no one in the entire mixed-race community who could fight better than him, and what he wanted more was someone who could assist him.
For example, Finger's information gathering ability.
There's also the little-known relationship with Norma, the intelligent supercomputing steward at Kassel College, and her other personality, "EVA".
With the world's most advanced intelligent supercomputer secretly assisting them, coupled with its superb hacking skills, it's hard to imagine their investigation and information gathering capabilities not being strong.
Cao Han was just wondering how to get the other party to become a member of the guild, but he ended up walking right into the trap.
The opponent's supposedly formidable strength was utterly insignificant in his presence. He withdrew his right hand and placed both hands on Fingel's shoulders, lowering his voice mysteriously as he said:
"Senior, how about trying the Flame Linking technique?"
“Passing on the fire...?” Fingel’s expression froze for a moment.
The plot development seemed to be, or rather, appeared to be, somewhat beyond his expectations.
Logically speaking, a proper script shouldn't involve postponing the situation, then, after expressing sincere loyalty, readily accepting the subordinate and promising to protect him...
The idea of passing on the torch always gave Fingel the feeling that he had stumbled into some Western cult.
But by then it was too late to back down.
Fingel could clearly feel that Cao Han's seemingly not-so-strong arms, when placed on his shoulders, were like mountains, making him unable to move.
"It's a ritual to join the Legendary Creature Hunters and Human World Order Maintainers Association that I founded..."
"Junior, I already have a club, and I'm the head of the student union's news department."
"It's okay, our association is a bit special, we don't care about those things."
"But……"
Fingel, cautious and accustomed to hiding his true self, wanted to come up with another excuse, but he underestimated Cao Han's desire for him.
How could I possibly let it slip through my fingers under such circumstances!
"Given that it's the middle of the night and the conditions don't allow for it, we'll skip the first part of the initiation ceremony and go straight to the most important second part: passing on the fire."
As he spoke, Cao Han pulled out the remaining half pack of Marlboro cigarettes from his pocket. He had taken them from a crew member while he was in the Seventh Fleet, and they came in handy.
Just like he had done to Lu Mingfei, Cao Han did it to Fingel again without saying a word.
He forcefully shoved a stick between the other person's fingers, and then, with an incredulous expression on their face, he completed the fire-making process first, saying, "Have a bite."
"Come on, come on."
Having come this far, Fingel resigned himself to his fate and, under Cao Han's watchful gaze, could only pick up a cigarette and take a light puff.
Do you know a social communication software called QQ?
"I registered when I went to China a few days ago."
That's true. A few days ago, when I went to China with von Schneider on a mission, he registered an account to make it easier to collect information, just like everyone else.
"That's good. Now that you've joined our group chat, you're one of us."
"Ok."
There were some things that Fingel had been keeping to himself, unsure whether he should say them or not. He felt that Cao Han's way of joining the association was somewhat frivolous and hasty.
"Boss", "Sword Immortal", "Crown Prince", "Takemikazuchi"...
Unlike the original story, Chu Zihang, who did not inherit the Divine Blade Murasame from Chu Tianjiao, chose "Takemikazuchi" as his code name in the group.
This was the gift Cao Han gave to Chu Zihang after he left Nibelungen.
"Senior, everyone in our association needs a code name, so you need to choose one for yourself too."
"I... let me think about it."
While Fingel was thinking of a code name for himself, Cao Han was not idle either. He immediately opened the guild mode panel to check the number of guild members.
Guild members: 5/10
Seeing that the number of guild members had increased from 4 to 5, Cao Han thought to himself: Just as I expected!
He had already figured out the conditions for guild members to recognize this guild model from Chu Zihang, and it seems that "passing on the flame" is one of the essential conditions.
In addition to this, an idealistic condition is also required, which is the recognition of Cao Han as the leader.
The guild has gained another powerful member!
Just for that reason alone, he's already made a huge profit by joining Kassel College.
For mixed-race individuals, going two or three days without rest or sleep is not a big problem; at most, it might slightly affect their mental state.
Moreover, given Cao Han's inhuman physical and mental strength, his daily sleep seems more like a way to satisfy psychological needs.
"Mr. KFC"
Unable to think of a suitable pseudonym for a while, Fingel pondered for a long time and decided to stick with his own pseudonym.
"Welcome to the team, Mr. KFC!"
Cao Han, the head of the association, immediately welcomed him warmly, but his expression changed the next second, and he became very serious.
"Now that you're one of us, I have a very important task for the guild that I need to entrust to you."
The early hours of the morning had no effect on Cao Han. While checking the number of guild members, he thought of the guild hunting mission that had been "pending".
"Hunting Quest (Guild): Takeshi Kagawa"
Mission Brief: Beneath the mask of hypocrisy lies the lament of a wronged young girl; justice delayed is justice denied!
"Task Reward: 50 Experience Points"
The latter half of the guild's name is "Maintainers of Human World Order," and hunting down these damned villains is the best way to uphold the guild's mission.
