Chapter 37 Von Schneider
Chapter 37 Von Schneider
"Yes, it seems that Professor Schneider found it for me one step ahead of me." Manstein slowly stepped forward and stretched out his hand. After a pause, he took the sealing clip in Schneider's hand.
No one knows how Schneider, a disabled man who had to drag an oxygen tank with him every step of the way, managed to get this file before Manstein did, but at least anyone who can become the head of the executive department always has two brushes. .
"You are not the only one in this school who cares about this strange student." Schneider let go of his hand and let the file fall into Manstein's hands: "What's wrong with his file? It's worth coming all night to check it out."
"Small problem, the file file did not record the time stamp during his physical examination yesterday." Manstein pulled out a document: "I will send a fax to Norma after making corrections, and try to update the file information before tomorrow morning. "
"Will the time stamp of a physical test affect a student's pedigree rating?" Schneider stared at Manstein's eyes as if he wanted to see something else.
Manstein said nothing, just held up the extracted document and placed it between the two of them. Schneider glanced at the bottom of the document. Sure enough, there was no information in the column of entry time. If someone accesses this file one day, This document will only know that the student has taken a physical test, but the specific time of the physical test and the student's situation during the physical test will not be known at all.
The submitter of this file was Manstein, and the confidentiality level was set as top secret. Even Norma could not change any of the information in it, and naturally could not add a simple timestamp to it.
"It seems that the students commented well. Professor Manstein is indeed a meticulous person." Schneider raised his hand and pressed Manstein's arm to look into his eyes again.
"I will not be careless in matters related to the promotion of my student's bloodline. Any mistakes should be checked out." Manstein remained calm.
"I heard that your student answered ten questions in the 3E exam today." Schneider smiled hoarsely: "You are indeed qualified to have confidence in it - the most promising student in recent years to become an 'S' level."
"It will be an honor for me to train an 'S'-level student with my own hands. Perhaps this will add a lot of color to my profile as a lifelong professor." Manstein turned around with a sealed folder in his hand. The cabinet shelf that belonged to Lin Nian.
"Professor Manstein." Schneider suddenly called out to Manstein.
Manstein paused but did not look back.
"You and I both know why you showed up here tonight. The idea of the physical examination for admission is indeed a good one. Even if someone uses Norma to find out what happened tonight, you won't have any clues. But since you have concerns, why? Don't you just give up on this student?" Schneider asked coldly.
"Has Professor Schneider ever taught students?" Manstein asked, his back to Schneider.
“Of course, the first prerequisite for becoming a tenured professor is to successfully produce an outstanding graduate.”
"You must also remember what your mental activities were like when you signed the document agreeing to take over the student, right?" Manstein said.
"I haven't had students for many years, and you know that," Schneider said.
"So you understand that one day we will personally send these children to the battlefield, and I just hope that there will not be any doubts or slander behind them." Manstein, who had his back to Schneider, lowered his head. He said calmly while looking at the stacks of files taken out of the sealed folder.
"We are the Secret Party, and this is our duty." Schneider's eyes were filled with cold iron gray.
“But we are also educators, and don’t say you have never treated your students as your own,” Manstein said.
Silence fell in the archives room. After a while, Schneider turned around and dragged the car carrying oxygen bottles beside him: "The real confidential files are not here. What you see now about his life has been polished. He I’m afraid the real resume has already been sent to the school board.”
Manstein silently put Lin Nian's documents in his hand into a sealed folder. His plan to gain access to confidential student files through a meaningless physical test finally failed. Just as Schneider said, sealing All the documents in the folder were the same as the information he got when he first came into contact with Lin Nian. Things were far from that simple.
It was impossible for him to believe that with the intelligence sources in the hands of the secret party, he could not investigate the "origin" of a Chinese student without any background. You must know that when the executive department goes out on a mission, the eighteen generations of ancestors of any suspicious person and their relatives and friends will be After a thorough investigation, the entire file about Lin Nian only contained the word "orphan", and there were no other secrets.
Lin Nian seemed to appear out of thin air and landed at the door of an orphanage in that small coastal town one day. The file did not even indicate who abandoned him in the orphanage. Perhaps the real information was as early as What Schneider said was generally passed down secretly to people at a higher level.
"Since you care about him so much, perhaps practicing true knowledge and putting him in a specific environment will reveal his true appearance." Schneider said coldly: "It just so happens that your students are not following the first-year students now. Can I ask Norma to give him a regular battlefield practice class in the second half of the freshman year?"
"Are you crazy? He has just entered school and has only half a foot on the threshold of the dragon world!" Manstein said angrily.
"Whether you step in or not, the real world is always there. Do you think it will disappear if you hide from it?" Schneider said hoarsely: "You think he has the potential of 'S' level, then let him prove himself!"
"Then I can only protest to the board of directors. If you have a student, you will care about him like I do, Professor von Schneider." Manstein gloomily put the sealant into a brown paper bag and placed it in the cabinet.
"Maybe, but compared to exploring the archives at night, I prefer to dig out all his secrets by myself." Schneider said hoarsely: "Recently, the executive department received an abnormal feedback, saying that there is an IP address in a small city in China that keeps trying to find the address of the college on the Internet. We dug out the other party's information. Guess what we found?"
"The hunters on the hunter website? I heard that group of people have always had ideas about the college." Manstein frowned at Schneider's back: "But I'm not interested in this. This is the business of your executive department."
"No, you should Interested, that small Chinese town is the coastal city where your student has lived for decades, and the person looking for the address of the college is a boy in the same school as him. "Schneider laughed and said, "What a coincidence, isn't it? Two outstanding talents appeared in the same city, maybe one day we can find a third one there?"
Manstein frowned so hard that he suddenly thought of some words that Lin Nian said on the CC1000 express train before, but he was in a bad mood at the moment and couldn't remember those words and connect them with what Schneider said.
"Based on his progress in searching on the Internet, the people in the psychology department speculated that in half a year, the boy would be unable to resist and come to us in person. But the interesting thing is that he had not even appeared on our watch list before. Even your students were on our record." Schneider dragged the cart towards the elevator in the distance: "I will interview him in person when the time comes, because this is too interesting, isn't it?"
Manstein did not answer him, but just watched in silence as the black and thin figure disappeared behind the closing elevator door. As the elevator went up, the violent coughing sound from inside became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
