An uninvited guest arrived at the male dormitory building, and many boys poked their heads out of their rooms, watching intently to see where the girl would stop.
301, 302, 303... Oh my god! It’s 303!
Suddenly, many boys lost their competitive spirit. Everyone on that floor knew it was Fingel’s dormitory, and also the S-rank’s dormitory.
They might be able to compete with Fingel, but they definitely couldn't spar with the S-rank who was currently at the height of his power.
Zero stopped calmly in front of room 303, tapping on the door.
She had long been accustomed to the boys' gazes; this level of scrutiny couldn't stir any ripples in her heart.
Besides, she understood that a girl appearing in a male dormitory was like all dormitory doors opening along a long corridor, except for the one at the end that never opened.
Both were things that made people's curiosity run wild; these were normal gazes.
After the fourth knock, the door to 303 finally opened. Suddenly, a few more heads appeared above the brothers peeking through the door cracks in the hallway. When they saw that the person who showed his face was Fingel, everyone’s expressions were startled.
They thought the girl had come to find Lu Mingfei.

"Junior Brother, why didn't you bring your key?" Fingel rubbed his eyes and yawned, pressing the doorknob and pushing open a crack in the door, his voice coming from inside the dormitory.
"Is Lu Mingfei not in the dormitory?" Zero asked softly, not pulling the door open.
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind the door. Fingel, who was accustomed to sleeping naked, was fully dressed five seconds later and pushed the door open. "I'm sorry, Junior Brother left the dormitory at 7 AM and hasn't returned yet. If Junior Sister is willing, she can wait a little longer in the dormitory, and I'll go call him back now."
Fingel offered a smile more standard than that of a five-star hotel waiter, extending his hand to invite Zero in.
Zero was unmoved. If Lu Mingfei wasn't there, she actually had no need to enter.
She was here to find Lu Mingfei to form a team. The deadline for team formation was approaching, and the underwater team was basically already assembled.
According to reliable intelligence, due to Caesar and Chen Motong's relationship, Chen Motong had no choice but to find another partner, but she herself seemed not to care about this matter and had not actively sought a partner, inadvertently delaying until now.
Zero, on the other hand, was originally prepared to be left alone, but she didn't expect that only she, Chen Motong, and Lu Mingfei were left now.
Not long ago, under the urging of Angers, the head of this operation, Zero extended an invitation to Lu Mingfei.
At the same time, Chen Motong also received the same urging, but she seemed to have played too much and forgotten about it.
After sending the message, Zero had not received a reply for a long time, so she decided to come at this time, when most honest boys were still in their dormitories, to ask about Lu Mingfei's thoughts.
However, it seemed that Lu Mingfei was very busy right now.
"It's alright, if he's not here today, I'll come again tomorrow," Zero said flatly, without any discernible emotion.
Upon hearing this, Fingel rubbed his nose and said helplessly, "If I don't go call him, Junior Brother probably won't be back tomorrow morning either."
"...I understand." Zero glanced past Fingel's waist at the dormitory environment, frowning slightly. "Please trouble Senior Brother to urge Lu Mingfei about the team formation. Tomorrow is the deadline, and I have other matters, so I won't go in."
After saying this, Zero turned and left without waiting for Fingel to react.
At the same time, Fingel's phone, unusually, chimed with a message notification.
Fingel hurriedly grabbed his phone from the bed and opened the message to check:
"I don't have Lu Mingfei's phone number. The team formation deadline is almost here. Urge Lu Mingfei; now it's just me, Zero, and Lu Mingfei left. Tell him to quickly pick one, training for underwater operations starts tomorrow."
The Remark ID was Nono.
Only then did Fingel realize that the "Want to team up?" message Zero had sent to Lu Mingfei earlier meant this.
"Junior Brother ah~"
He let out a wail-like sound, rushing out the door to go notify Lu Mingfei at the Lionheart Society, when a heaven-shaking explosion stopped him. The window at the end of the corridor was tottering, and the tear from the bottom left corner was particularly glaring.
The Equipment Department immediately claimed responsibility for the incident.
Fingel, however, stopped in his tracks, blinked, and nonchalantly pulled out his phone to call Lu Mingfei.
Meanwhile, Lu Mingfei was deeply discussing some content from the notes with Chu Zihang.
"Speaking of which, is it really not too hasty for the Principal to just hand this technique over to me?" Lu Mingfei looked up at Chu Zihang in confusion. After listening to his Senior Brother's explanation just now, he realized that this thing seemed to be an experienced technique summarized by the Lionheart Society's predecessors through countless hardships.
"It doesn't matter," Chu Zihang said. "Judging solely from these outdated experimental records, the number of people who have mastered this technique is already in the double digits. In mixed-blood society, it's already becoming commonplace."
"Senior Brother, what you're saying makes this technique sound so cheap..."
"Techniques will only become cheaper and cheaper, but experience will not," Chu Zihang said. "The experience recorded by every Lionheart Society predecessor after using Blood Rage is what the Principal wants us to see."
"Experience?" Lu Mingfei reread the experimental records from the beginning.
"Yes, the experience of breaking through the critical bloodline limit. With enough practical experience, we can see the effects of Blood Rage on different mixed-bloods," Chu Zihang paused: "Blood Rage also has stages."
Lu Mingfei gave Chu Zihang a deep look, wondering why his Senior Brother seemed so experienced. "So how do we learn this technique?"
"Hypnosis," Chu Zihang replied.
"Hypnosis?"
"Blood Rage is actually no different from becoming a Death Servant. In an outdoor mission I once carried out, I personally witnessed a case of a mixed-blood degenerating into a Death Servant," Chu Zihang fell into reminiscence.
"The mixed-blood, at the end of his rope, overloaded his Rune, displaying strength beyond his own. In extreme fear, he transformed into the appearance of a Death Servant. At that time, I even wondered if he had sold his soul to a devil, thus exchanging for such power. I almost died at his hands."
"Senior Brother, you're joking, right? How could there still be devils in this world that would buy souls?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, taking it as his Senior Brother's rhetorical device.
"Indeed, later I confirmed here that it has nothing to do with devils and souls. Mixed-bloods, under extreme fear, secrete an unknown hormone. These hormones stimulate the dragon blood genes in the mixed-blood's body. The dragon blood genes, originally suppressed by human genes, will then take the initiative, leading to Bloodline Refinement and degeneration into a Death Servant," Chu Zihang said: "The predecessors of the Lionheart Society also discovered this, so they summarized the Bloodline Refinement technique, a method that can control hormone production."
Chu Zihang took a deep breath, speaking so much for the first time: "They feared Death Servants, but they yearned for this power, so the Blood Rage technique appeared."
Lu Mingfei nodded thoughtfully, preparing to ask his question.
But Chu Zihang's gaze turned to Lu Mingfei's pocket. "However, before we go deeper, I suggest you answer the phone first."
"It's rung seven times already. It must be something urgent."
