Chapter 179 Ending and Triumph
"Yes, we have successfully obtained Norton's eggs." Mance glanced at the bronze jar beside him and spoke softly, apparently reporting on the completion of the mission.
"It's faster than I thought..." Principal Angers' voice came from the loudspeaker in the cabin. There was no surprise in his tone, as if he didn't feel any surprise at all.
"I finally understand why you said that we would hold Gu Ye back." Mans recalled that simple punch. He had never thought that a mere human being could kill a dragon as big as a transport ship with just his flesh and blood.
"Can you tell me what kind of spirit Gu Ye is?"
"There has always been a record in this school's database of the Word Spirit and the Bronze Throne belonging to the King of Bronze and Fire," said Principal Angers.
"Is it just a bronze throne?" Mans was a little unconvinced, but apart from this word spirit, there seemed to be no other word spirit that could strengthen the body to the level comparable to that of the dragon clan, right?
"Don't forget, he is S-rank..."
"Yeah... I'm really looking forward to what the other S-class will do. With them around, maybe the prophecy of the end of the world is less likely to come true."
The Moniah was docked not far from the Three Gorges Dam. The storm had stopped and the first mate was communicating with the staff of the Maritime Administration.
Just now, under the command of Mance, the reckless appearance made the Maritime Administration almost think that everyone on the ship was willing to die, so as soon as the Moniah slowed down, the staff at the lighthouse came here quickly.
Of course, it was not entirely because of the dangerous action just now. Another reason was that the helicopter sent by the Maritime Administration crashed in an instant, and the only witnesses at the scene were the people on the boat, so they came here specifically to investigate.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Gu Ye sat on the deck, looked at the calm river surface, turned his head and asked Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki behind him.
The two people who loved each other completely threw away the so-called rules in this life-and-death separation, and were now snuggling up to each other unscrupulously. Jiude Aki's hand tightly grasped Ye Sheng's arm, as if she was afraid that he would leave again.
"Don't worry, post-disaster work is a compulsory course at Kassel College." Ye Sheng nodded to Gu Ye and glanced at the helicopter pilot next to the staff member.
He was very lucky. He jumped into the water safely after the helicopter crashed and was successfully rescued by the second mate on the ship.
But in the final analysis, it was because Gu Ye dealt with the enemy quickly enough, otherwise, even if the dragon struggled a few more times, the driver in the water would not be able to wait safely for rescue.
"After rescuing the pilot, professionals have hypnotized him. All he can remember is that the helicopter was destroyed by a thunderstorm in a storm."
"Will they really believe this reason?" Gu Ye was still a little worried. Although visibility was very low on a stormy night, there was no guarantee that there would be someone observing at the lighthouse.
"No problem. The first mate may not be so good in other aspects, but his level of talking nonsense is first-class." Ye Sheng continued to answer without raising his head.
And right after he finished saying this, the staff from the Maritime Administration actually nodded and took notes, then took the driver away, leaving Gu Ye dumbfounded.
"You'll get used to it. The first mate loves to brag, so over time he has developed the ability to make people believe his lies." After seeing Gu Ye's subtle expression, Jiude Aki tightened his arms around Ye Sheng's arm and spoke softly.
"I say, you two, why don't you just get married? You just show your affection but don't announce your relationship. Ye Sheng, aren't you worried that Jiude Aki will be snatched away by someone else?" Gu Ye was fed a lot of dog food by this stupid couple and he really couldn't help but complain.
"I've thought about it. I'll explain it to Professor Mans and the principal later." Ye Sheng smiled. He had no intention of dragging it out any further.
"It's better to do it today than to wait for another day. Let's go now..." Gu Ye grabbed Ye Sheng without hesitation and was about to take this guy towards the cabin.
For Gu Ye, Ye Sheng helped him a lot. If it weren't for his map, he would probably still be at the bottom of the river. So Gu Ye didn't mind repaying Ye Sheng.
But Ye Sheng did not move. Instead, he looked at Shude Aki with an inquiring look, waiting for her answer.
"Go...I'll wait for you here." Jude Aki smiled sweetly at Ye Sheng.
"Principal, that one..." It was the first time that Mans saw such a huge dragon, and it was not the legendary Dragon King, so he couldn't think of any word to call it.
"It should be Norton's dragon servant. It exists to protect Norton's resurrection. When necessary, it will also serve as Norton's nutrition to speed up the recovery of strength." Principal Angers said.
"The world of dragons is so cruel." Mans couldn't help but sigh.
"After all, the dragons are cold-blooded and ruthless. They have no concept of family, and every soldier under their command can be sacrificed." Principal Angers continued.
"So, what should we do with the dragon servant that has sunk to the bottom of the river? Do we need to tow it back now?" Mans asked.
"According to your description, how are you going to transport a living creature that is nearly 15 meters long and weighs 50 tons back to Kassel College?" Principal Angers asked.
"Then we can only leave it at the bottom of the river?" Mans scratched his head helplessly. He was really unwilling to give up this ready-made material.
"It's okay. The college will arrange salvage personnel to deal with the aftermath. You just need to bring Norton's eggs back safely." said Principal Angers.
"Oh, by the way... As the hero of this mission, I will hold a celebration party for you at Norton Hall. Don't be late..."
"Got it..." Mans couldn't help laughing. Even though he was nearly 70 years old, Principal Angers was still so elegant and free and easy.
But this is also good. My students have been working tensely for several days and nights. It's time for them to relax.
"Then I'll wait for your return at the academy..." Principal Angers said his farewell words, but was interrupted by Gu Ye who suddenly broke in.
"Wait a minute! I have something to say!"
Mans and Selma turned their heads with some confusion and looked at Gu Ye and Ye Sheng in front of them, while Gu Ye pushed Ye Sheng in front of Mans and took the communication device from him.
"I'll leave it to you. Don't worry... I think Principal Angers will agree." Gu Ye winked at Ye Sheng.
This old man always looks calculating, but Gu Ye knows that he is a romantic guy at heart and will not do anything to spoil everyone's fun.
"I understand..." Ye Sheng held the communication device and took a deep breath. After experiencing such a death crisis, he understood what he wanted most, so he would not back down this time.
"Principal Ange... I'm Ye Sheng. I want to apply for a wedding with Aki Jude. I hope you can agree."
As soon as he finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on Mans' face. He had not expected that his favorite student Shude Aki would be taken down quietly by the boy in front of him.
He was about to turn around and ask Selma, but he saw the relieved smile on Selma's face, as if she had finally seen the two of them get married. "You...you knew it a long time ago?"
"Professor, there are few people in the entire college who don't know about the affair between Ye Sheng and Shude Aki, right?" Selma showed a helpless expression.
"Well...marriage application..." Principal Ange's slightly hesitant voice echoed in the cabin. Both Ye Sheng and Selma, who were looking forward to their happy marriage, felt their hearts tighten, fearing to hear a rejection.
"I agree. Although the Executive Department has its own rules, people still need to be flexible..."
"Thank you, Principal!" Ye Sheng immediately bowed excitedly towards the air, as if Principal Angers was right in front of him.
"It's okay. I don't think you will mind if I become your witness later?" Principal Angers said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"It's my honor!" Ye Sheng replied.
"I said that Principal Ange wouldn't refuse, right?" Gu Ye shrugged his shoulders. He had already figured out the character of this old bastard after so long.
"Then I look forward to your triumphant return." After saying this, Angé hung up the phone.
"Great! Gu Ye! Thank you!" The moment Principal Angers hung up the phone, Ye Sheng kept shaking Gu Ye with gratitude on his face.
"Stop, stop. We are all brothers. Don't forget to invite me when the time comes." Gu Ye quickly pushed Ye Sheng away.
"Don't worry, you're indispensable..." Ye Sheng gave Gu Ye a thumbs up.
"You should comfort the person behind you first..." Gu Ye pointed at Mans, who looked a little unhappy.
"Professor Mans, I..." Ye Sheng turned his head and looked at Mans who was silent, and wanted to explain hesitantly.
"If I knew that you bullied Aki, I would not forgive you..." Mans glared at Ye Sheng, and then spoke to the second mate who was debugging the instrument nearby.
"Hurry up and ask the first mate if the problem has been resolved! Set sail and prepare to return to the academy!"
"Yes! Captain!" The second mate responded in panic, sitting up straight.
Inside the library at the headquarters in Kassel, half an hour had passed since the map was cracked. Professor Schneider paced back and forth, rubbing his hands. Such waiting made him restless.
Lu Mingfei's fingers kept tapping on the table, and his mood began to fluctuate with Professor Schneider's walking back and forth. The depressing atmosphere filled the entire library, and even the usually lively Chen Motong seemed very quiet.
Finally, as everyone was looking forward to it, the dark screen lit up with a sign indicating that the task was completed. But before everyone could react, the screen immediately switched to a serene old man's face. It was Principal Angers. At this time, he still had a smile on his face, just like a kind old man next door.
Of course...if there really is such a handsome old man, this is Lu Mingfei's first impression of Angers. He has never seen an old man who can be so full of masculine charm. The whole person is like a young lion.
After seeing him, everyone stood up suddenly. Lu Mingfei also came to his senses in a panic and stood up with everyone else.
"Principal Ange." Professor Schneider nodded at the big screen.
"Gu Ye and Ye Sheng have successfully come out of Bronze City. We have obtained important information. Thank you all for your efforts. Now I declare us disbanded." The principal said lightly.
The control room was boiling with excitement, everyone raised their arms and cheered, professors hugged each other excitedly, and students high-fived in the air.
But it was obvious that the students were divided into two factions, one group surrounding Caesar and the other group surrounding Chu Zihang. Only Lu Mingfei was far away from everyone else and didn't know which group to join.
At this time, he saw Chen Motong leaning against the wall alone, chewing gum and staring out the window in a daze. He hesitated for a moment and walked towards her.
"Why don't you go celebrate with them?"
"Gu Ye will not be in danger, so the mission is bound to be accomplished. There is nothing to celebrate." Chen Motong said.
"Is that so? So Brother Gu is so strong in your eyes?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused. In his limited understanding, Chen Motong and Gu Ye's relationship didn't seem so good? How could she trust him so much?
"Just because I don't like him doesn't mean I don't recognize his ability, little brother~" Chen Motong spoke word by word while pinching Lu Mingfei's cheek, while her burgundy pupils stared into his eyes.
"do you understand?"
"I see..." Lu Mingfei turned his head with a red face. Chen Motong was quite close to him, and he could vaguely smell her unique perfume.
"In addition, I want to thank someone in particular. Thank you, Lu Mingfei." Principal Angers' voice made Lu Mingfei turn around in surprise. The principal held up a stack of white paper on the screen.
"Thank you for the map you provided, and... congratulations. You have passed the 3E exam with the highest score in ten years. You have retained your S-class status. I will specially grant you the Principal Scholarship."
There was silence in the control room for a while, and the professors applauded. The elites of the Lionheart Club and the Student Union looked at the president. Caesar and Chu Zihang applauded without hesitation.
Then everyone applauded, and in an instant Lu Mingfei was surrounded by the crowd, shaking hands with him one after another. Lu Mingfei felt respected again, but now he was a little far away from his senior sister.
"Didn't I tell you? You are actually no worse than Gu Ye..." Chen Motong nodded at the bewildered Lu Mingfei, his voice full of trust in him.
Lu Mingfei subconsciously smiled. Although he didn't know why this senior sister believed in him so much, Lu Mingfei felt that this feeling was not bad.
Seeing the professors' approving eyes, Lu Mingfei felt a heavy sense of responsibility in his heart. More and more people have begun to trust him, and he cannot let them down easily...
"By the way, I will hold a celebration party at the Norton Pavilion later. Please bring your dance partners and don't be late~"
Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at Principal Ange on the screen. He had a strange feeling. Although it seemed that Principal Ange was making the announcement to everyone, his eyes were always on him, as if... he was reminding himself.
Just... a dance partner? Where can I find one? Lu Mingfei's face immediately fell.
