Chapter 671: Chapter 671: Vice Department Director Chen Fei

Five minutes after getting off the superpower car, Lu Xiao finally appreciated its only advantage—it was fast!

It simply bulldozed its way down the road, with no regard for the pedestrians’ safety.

However, the students of Holy Hall Academy seemed to have accepted that the middle of the road was the superpower car lane; no one walked there.

"Mr. Lu, this is the Metal System. Shall I take you to the academic building?" Mai Ji had been at Holy Hall Academy for three years. Though the academy was large, three years had been enough for him to explore every nook and cranny.

"That building over there?" Lu Xiao pointed.

"That’s right."

"Then it’s fine, I can go there myself. You go ahead with your tasks, I’ll have someone find you if I need anything," Lu Xiao paused to say.

"Alright, Mr. Lu. I’m in the third class of the third year of the Elemental system; you can find me anytime if needed." After reporting his basic information, Mai Ji left without any hesitation.

Mai Ji knew well that one shouldn’t be overbearing when trying to gain favor; it was all about moderation and knowing when to advance or retreat.

Watching Mai Ji leave, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but nod in approval. The young man was enthusiastic but not sycophantic.

Perhaps, when the time was right, he could offer him some assistance.

After Mai Ji left, Lu Xiao walked into the Metal System’s academic building.

Inside the building, metallic style objects were everywhere—metallic strange beasts, metallic statues, metallic furnishing.

Of course, what Lu Xiao couldn’t look straight at was the enormous metal "Spirit Car" at the center of the first floor.

The people of the Metal System really treated this thing like a treasure, even going as far as to protect it with a glass-like cover, which was quite absurd.

"Hello, may I know which instructor you’re looking for? Please register your name and grade here," a gentle female voice called out just as Lu Xiao was examining the "big black box."

Lu Xiao looked up to see a girl about his age.

"Hello, I’m looking for Instructor Chen Fei." Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow as he spoke.

The girl paused slightly, "Do you mean Vice Department Director Chen Fei?"

Light gradually brightened in Lu Xiao’s eyes.

She was indeed here.

And it seemed she was doing quite well, having become a vice department head.

The vice department head of the Metal System must be among the elite of the advanced superpower users, right?

She might even be just a step away from reaching Master Level.

"No, I’m looking for the department head, not the vice department head," Lu Xiao shook his head.

Turns out he still wasn’t ready to meet Chen Fei.

What to say at the meeting, what expression to wear—whether to be conflicted or simply smile it off—he hadn’t figured it out yet.

"Looking for the department head?" The receptionist girl was a bit surprised.

Department heads didn’t teach classes and it was rare for students to seek them out.

"Okay, I’ll register you and then contact the department head’s office, but I can’t guarantee they will see you," she said.

"Mhm," Lu Xiao nodded and then pulled out the letter of appointment given to him by Mai Ganfu.

Upon seeing the letter, Ariel’s mouth formed a huge "O."

She thought Lu Xiao was a student, seeing how he appeared only in his mid-twenties, and was surprised to find he was actually an instructor.

An instructor in his mid-twenties was extremely rare.

Whether in the Metal System or any other system, up to now, it seemed only Vice Department Director Chen Fei was an instructor in her twenties; and now another appeared, also in their Metal System.

This year truly was a fortunate year for the Metal System!

"Ah, alright Mr.... Instructor, I will immediately inform the department head’s office. You can sit on the sofa for a while," Ariel quickly said before rushing off.

Lu Xiao turned to look at the sofa—good grief, even the sofa was metallic. They didn’t even bother with some soft cushions; what was the difference from a hospital?

Hospitals were for cleanliness and antibacterial purposes, but what are these for? To discomfort people?

However, Lu Xiao just thought this and still sat down.

He had just sat down when he saw a group of people bustling into the building.

Leading them was a man in his thirties, tall and rather handsome.

The man was holding a bouquet of flowers, looking confident.

"Teacher Xita, you will definitely succeed this time."

"Don’t worry, Teacher Xita, all of us in the Elemental system have your back!"

"This time, Vice Department Director Chen Fei will surely accept your pursuit!"

Hearing the shouts and cheers, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but smirk.

Watching his girlfriend... well, his ex-girlfriend being pursued by another man was indeed a novel and annoying feeling.
