When the only train connecting the inside and outside of the college arrived at the campus platform, Chamberson, with a solemn expression, was about to get off the train when a faint astrological fluctuation was detected by the owl on his shoulder.
A lady was sitting at the end of the carriage, with her long, slightly plump legs raised high.
A black dress-like robe with dark gold trim and a "crying mask" with starlight tears hanging on it.
"Don't worry, Professor Chamberson. William will be fine."
"Principal Daisylin!" Chamberson bowed immediately, his eyes moving down to the ground. "William is my only student after all. I am somewhat worried. After all, the First Gentleman's condition has plummeted recently."
“I have recently gained a lot of interesting information while observing the stars.
This also includes the unclear lines of William's lake, which are covered and diverged by all kinds of strange stars to form a wonderful future. His future will extend far away and will not end here.
You don’t need to worry about his subsequent contact with the First Gentleman. After all, he is also a student of my college, and I, as the principal, will naturally take care of him before graduation.”
"good."
"When William comes back, ask him to come to my office tonight."
"yes."
When Chamberson looked up again, Principal Deslin had disappeared.
The brief meeting dispelled his worries. Principal Daisylin was one of the prophets of Zion and also the most important prophet. Her initiative to show up and give such an explanation naturally meant that Yi Chen would be fine.

Deep inside the residence
The First Gentleman Alexis, whose nearly six-meter-long body was pierced by iron chains and bound in the air, hung in the shape of a cross above the altar, felt the familiar breath of the visitor and slowly opened his eyes.
Yi Chen, who came here alone, couldn't help but look solemn when he looked at the First Gentleman. Compared with the last time they met, the First Gentleman looked more than ten years older, and even gave off a feeling that his end was approaching.
White hair and some falling out.
The eyelids pile up to support the eyeball, which may slip out.
The clothes he was wearing were even more tattered, and like his skin, they were wrinkled and even had white spots and tumors.
"William Behrens, nice to meet you again... ahem!
I hope you don't mind my decision to keep Professor Chamberson outside the house, because in addition to giving Pi the reward today, there is another important matter involving organizational development and human continuation that needs to be discussed with you alone."
"yes."
Although Yi Chen's expression did not change after hearing these words, a drop of cold sweat slid down his scalp.
"As usual, please accept my skin first."
The iron chains connected to the four corners of the underground church were slowly lowered, and the First Gentleman gradually stuck to the ground. As Yi Chen stepped onto the altar, the two reached out and touched each other at the same time.
The skin of the First Gentleman began to be transported to Yi Chen's palm, while at the same time testing the "Gentleman's Skin" that he was currently controlling.
The latter couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and every second felt very slow.
When the two separated, a 20×20cm extra-large "Gentleman's Leather" was neatly folded in Yi Chen's hand. The first gentleman did not notice the existence of the yellow leather and even showed an appreciative look.
"William, you have a high degree of control over leather! A gentleman like you who can perfectly control 20% leather content without breaking through the limit is very rare in the history of the organization.
I would like to extend an invitation to you to be one of the candidates for the title of First Gentleman."
Yi Chen noticed the key word "one of". Just when he was about to think about it before giving an answer, a voice came from his consciousness.
§Promise it§
“I am honored to be your candidate. I will work harder.”
Seeing Yi Chen decisively agree, the First Gentleman showed a rare smile on his miserable face.
"After you complete the limit breakthrough, using this skin can make your "skin content" reach exactly 50%. With your talent, you will definitely see more possibilities of the skin and develop your own way of using it.
Time is running out, and the final selection of candidates may be held in two years, or even shorter, so I hope you can be prepared. "
"I will definitely live up to your expectations! I will make all preparations and use all my strength to compete with other candidates in a friendly manner for this honorary qualification."
“Well! This selection will be completely different from the previous ones. We need to select a human leader who is better at controlling the skin than me, or even the previous First Gentleman.
The other candidates are also the elites of contemporary humanity. The screening rules may be cruel and even exceed your understanding of gentlemanly character.
But all this is based on the continuation of human civilization, I hope you can accept it.
Ahem~ After you complete the breakthrough, if you have any needs for more skins, you can apply to the God Skin Residence. As long as you are sure that you can accept more skins and maintain stability, we will supply unlimited quantities. "
"Thanks."
"Go do your thing, time is running out."
End of conversation.
Yi Chen took off his hat and bowed, then left quickly.
He was a little nervous when he first stepped into the official residence, and he was actually a little sad when he left, as if he had tasted the special emotions of the first gentleman from the conversation just now.
The opponent was once a genius with high hopes and unique talents and strengths, but in order to maintain the stable output of Pi, maintain the hub relationship between the organization and the Pi field, and maintain the stability of Zion, he was burdened with such a special identity.
…
Offa Rostik College.A
Yi Chen knocked on Professor Chamberson's office door and then placed the feather for help on the desk.
“Sure enough… I just listed you as one of the candidates. It seems that I am too sensitive.
William, what do you think? Now you should know clearly what the final outcome will be if you embark on the path of becoming a candidate. "
"I have promised the First Gentleman and decided to go and give it a try."
Yi Chen chose to completely conceal the matter of Huang Pi, including from Professor Chamberson, who was like a family member to him. It was not because he did not trust him, but because even a man as strong as Chamberson still wore clothes made of "Gentleman's Leather".
Only Yi Chen knows about the existence of Huangpi.
"Well, as long as it's your own wish."
Chamberson put the stack of documents on the desk into the drawer. He had even helped Yi Chen prepare all the documents needed for his escape.
As long as Yi Chen doesn't want to be the first gentleman, he can use these documents to quickly leave Zion and go to the human area not under the jurisdiction of the organization.
"Professor, rest assured. I have had deep contact with Duke Gary Risen in the old world and was branded with the "Mark of Transaction". Even if I really become the first gentleman and am restrained below.
When the Gray Domain completely erodes our world and the power of the Old World expands over, I can pay some price to let the Duke rescue me.
The Duke is a very easy person to talk to. As long as the money is in place, anything can be done."
"Well, just be sensible.
By the way, Principal Dai Silin asked me to pass on a message for her. She needs you to go to the top floor of the Fetal Heart Church, which is the principal's office, tonight. She has something to talk to you alone."
Yi Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was thinking about this matter on his way back.
"The principal came to me on her own initiative? That's great. I can ask her for some advice on improving my sensitivity... As long as my sensitivity reaches its limit, I can officially consider a breakthrough."
