Chapter 25 also includes murder in dreams.
"This is an unprecedented defeat, the first time in three years that we will lose the right to use Norton House... and a lot of wine."
As the video ended, Caesar turned off the screen, and everyone turned to look at him. The blond, handsome man had a large, still swollen bump on his head, his arms crossed, his body leaning forward, radiating a low-pressure aura.
He sat on a leather sofa, with his family crest, the phoenix, above his head.
Seeing Caesar's deep expression, everyone couldn't help but lower their heads.
It was true that she felt fear towards Lu Mingfei, and it was also true that she felt remorse.
"If we had known earlier, we might have been able to take him down with a concentrated attack from the start."
The guy whose nuclear bomb was picked up by Lu Mingfei spoke hesitantly.
His words stirred up a murmur, but not much, because Caesar stood up, surveyed the room, and said coldly.
"Only cowards would refuse to admit their defeat and preemptively eliminate him? Hah."
Caesar sneered, recalling Lu Mingfei's calm and decisive actions. He was certain that if the other party had acted even a millisecond later, his hunting knife would have struck the other party's head.
But the opponent was terrifyingly swift and calm, as if he had gone offline, not to mention how he casually dodged his attacks one after another.
"He defeated the combined forces of me and Chu Zihang in a very short time. Did he really think that someone like him would lose because of such a weak act as being attacked by a group of people?"
Everyone lowered their heads, seemingly ashamed of their previous slight agreement with the "focus fire" theory.
"In short, Lu Mingfei, an S-level freshman, is undoubtedly a strong person. He comes from the same middle school as Chu Zihang, but he is more patient and stronger than Chu Zihang. He defeated both me and him and won a day of freedom on his own."
He let out a long sigh of relief.
"So we lost. A loss is a loss. I accept it wholeheartedly. We'll move our things to the Anbo Pavilion next door. I've rented that place. From midnight onwards, this place will belong to Lu Mingfei."
Caesar raised his glass, offered a toast towards the dormitory area, and then downed the pale gold cognac in one gulp.
"Boss... there's some explosive news that just popped up in the Night Watchers' discussion forum, could you take a look?"
Suddenly, a senior member of the student council jogged up to Caesar and showed him the headline on his phone. Caesar frowned as he looked at the content.
"Breaking News! The newly promoted S-class freshman has no resonance with 'Word of Power: Emperor'!"
There was also a bonus video, which Caesar projected onto the big screen.
The content shows Professor Guderian reciting the dragon script of the Word Emperor to Lu Mingfei, but Lu Mingfei only frowned and did not feel anything. The two were secretly plotting, and the person filming zoomed in on the scene slightly.
"...Really, you didn't feel anything at all?"
"No, Professor, tomorrow's 3E—"
Suddenly, Lu Mingfei sensed something and turned to look at the person filming the video, which terrified the person so much that they fell straight down from the tree outside the third floor. The video ended abruptly and anxiously.
So the student council members all opened their phones and logged into the Night Watchers discussion forum, but they couldn't find the article no matter what they tried, as if the poster had deleted it himself.
But then, the video started appearing sporadically in the Night Watchers discussion forum. Some were deleted, but more people kept posting it. What a drama!
In the end, Professor Guderian's personal account stated righteously in the Night Watchers discussion forum that there was absolutely no such thing, the video was edited and composited, and he only came to Lu Mingfei's dormitory to celebrate his victory in the Freedom Day championship.
Hmm, it looks like they're trying to hide something obvious.
Lu Mingfei temporarily registered an account with his real name and ID photo, and then personally forwarded the video, openly acknowledging the situation in the video. He admitted that he did not react to the dragon text that Professor Guderian mentioned.
Caesar smiled at this.
"It seems our freshman year isn't all that perfect."
He had no doubt about Lu Mingfei's abilities, but the series of events in the Night Watchers discussion forum were undeniable.
People always tend to judge others by their own standards. A screenwriter who spends all his time attending drinking parties, even if he's writing a grand story like the Three Kingdoms, can only really express himself through drinking.
Someone like Caesar would never have imagined that someone stronger than him would be willing to lower himself to cooperate in making such videos and these elaborate schemes just to reap the profits from the opening.
After all that trouble, what's the point of all this effort for such a small amount of money?
Therefore, the video cannot be faked, especially since Lu Mingfei openly admitted that Caesar was very pleased with the choice the other party made. A true man should act this way, so it couldn't be more real.
So he liked the post the other person made and replied, "In my eyes, you are undoubtedly S-class."
Chu Zihang also gave Lu Mingfei a thumbs up and commented below, saying that among the students, I can't think of anyone more suitable to be an S-level student than you.
The Night Watchers discussion forum exploded, surpassing Lu Mingfei's video from "A Day of Freedom" and the topic of Lu Mingfei's lack of reaction to Long Wen. Everyone was eagerly following Lu Mingfei's blog post.
But Lu Mingfei only made up a small part of it.
The bigger reason is that Caesar and Chu Zihang surprisingly reached an agreement. As destined rivals, Caesar and Chu Zihang have never agreed on anything, but today, they did.
Taking advantage of the uproar, Fingel quickly opened a betting platform and cast his vote for Lu Mingfei, betting 100 yuan.
Lu Mingfei cast a vote against himself, betting 1,000 yuan, remaining as generous as ever. That's just his persona; there's nothing he can't vote for. As for self-criticism...
Then he left a very humble comment.
"Unfortunately, I can't think of any way to pass tomorrow's 3E exam."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Mingfei, who had logged off, high-fived Guderian and Fingel in his dormitory, even pounding his chest and stamping his feet in frustration.
"Oh dear! Oh dear! If I had been a sneaky cop and shot them both dead, portraying myself as a villain, everyone would be so emotional now that they'd vote against me. I'd regret it so much! I'd regret it so much!"
"It's alright, junior! Trust your senior. Eight years have passed. Do you think your senior's news department is just sitting around doing nothing?"
Fingel patted his chest and gave Lu Mingfei a thumbs up, indicating that he was optimistic about his senior's performance.
Lu Mingfei said, "That's reassuring! In that case, I'm going to sleep."
Just as he was about to lie down, Fingel and Guderian, who were so shocked their hair was practically standing on end, pulled him up. The two of them said, "Why don't you practice copying that painting or something? Anyway, don't go to sleep for now."
