"House, Dean?!"

Hearing this extremely familiar voice, the hair on Rikka's body suddenly stood up like a hedgehog, and her heart was beating so fast that it almost rushed out of her chest.

Turning her head stiffly and looking at the figure gradually walking out of the shadows behind her, Rikka's last bit of luck was shattered. She turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "Dean, I, I, I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry is the most useless nonsense."

Kaguya's face was cold, his glasses glowed with white light, and he was approaching the opponent step by step.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Rikka stood up from the examination table. While looking for the direction of the exit with his peripheral vision, he retreated away from the other party: "I said I didn't see anything. Do you believe it?"

"Since you didn't see it, why did you say 'sorry' to me earlier?"

Holding the handle of Kyoka Suigetsu's knife, Kaguya smiled solemnly: "Didn't anyone teach you that curiosity killed the cat?"

'The door is at four o'clock...'

After finding the target, a flash of joy flashed through Rikka's eyes. He secretly took off the kunai pinned in his sleeve, looked at the tall man opposite, and said: "I..."

"Still ready to resist?"

Rikka was shocked when her little move was discovered. She threw the kunai in her hand without hesitation, then turned around and ran towards the door diagonally behind.

Facing the incoming kunai, Kaguya calmly stretched out two fingers and caught it easily.

Looking at the running figure not far away, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but he did not start to pursue him.

Unscrewing the door handle and pulling it in, the strong wind stirred up by the door ruffled the round-faced little girl's blond hair, and also blew away the joy that had just appeared on her face.

Staring desperately at the tall figure blocking the door, Rikka staggered back two steps and fell to the ground.

Rikka begged, and said pitifully: "No, don't..."

At the same time, the shadow clone in the room exploded into white mist and disappeared without a trace.

"What don't you want?" Kaguya Xiu slowly squatted down with a smile on his face.

Without giving the other party a chance to answer, Kaguya Kyū stretched out his palm to hold the other party's head under Rikka's horrified gaze...

Rub it lightly.

"What? You think I will kill you like the villain in the storybook?"

"I……"

When someone told her what she was thinking, Rikka's face froze and he hesitated, "It's difficult, isn't it?"

Pulling the other person up from the ground, Kaguya smiled and said, "You underestimate my ability, right?"

'You didn't look like you were joking just now. '

After making a slander, Liuhua said in confusion: "Then why did you, Dean just now..."

"That's just a shadow clone, not me." Kaguya shrugged.

What does the shadow clone's evil deeds have to do with his real body?

"Uh……"

Being speechless by the other party's reason, Rikka quickly sorted through what had happened in the past few hours in her mind, and finally realized something was wrong.

Then he asked: "Did the dean leave on purpose and leave me here alone?"

Nodding, Kaguya stopped thinking about the famous saying of a great scientist in her previous life and said seriously: "Curiosity can kill a cat, but it is also the source of endless perseverance and patience for scientific workers.

If a person no longer has curiosity and a sense of surprise, he is no more than a walking zombie, his eyes are blurred. "

If a person is too rigid and rigid, he will not be able to go very far on the road of scientific research.

None of Orochimaru, Kabuto, Beiruhu, or even Dr. Katsuke in Boruto is safe.

Even the great scientists in previous lives were like this.

That's why he deliberately set up this test to see what the other party was going to do.

Not taking off the blindfold in a short period of time proves that the other party has enough patience.

He only took off the blindfold after confirming that he was 'not here', which proved that the other party was not a follow-the-rules person like Kisame, and that his curiosity and thirst for knowledge had not been eradicated.

He led Rikka back to the testing table and motioned for the other party to sit down and talk slowly.

Kaguya Hugh explained: "The reason for setting up such a test is related to the results of your physical examination this time."

Although the other party had stated that he had no ill intentions toward her, Rikka was still a little nervous and asked cautiously: "Does my health have serious problems?"

"How should I put it? These are just minor ailments in the body, not serious problems."

The two sat side by side, and Kaguya told the other party the results of the examination without reservation: "But according to my calculations, if nothing happens, your strength in this life will only be as strong as a chuunin."

"Chunin? Chunin is also very strong!"

Regarding this result, Rikka didn't feel any disappointment.

In her understanding, chuunin is the limit that most ninjas can reach.

The Jonin are all the elite among the elite, and Kage is an existence that is out of reach.

Her family knew her own affairs, so she had low expectations of herself.

My only wish is to live well.

"In this world, chuunin is synonymous with cannon fodder. In the two ninja wars, the chuunin died the most."

Kaguya's eyes were deep, looking at the jars of human specimens on the opposite storage shelf, and said indifferently: "What's more, except for very few exceptions, jounin cannot control his own destiny. He can only step into the level of the shadow." , just barely qualified to become a chess player."

Following the other person's gaze, Rikka vaguely understood something, and asked tentatively: "Can the dean help me become a Jonin, or even a Kage?"

"The only person you can rely on is yourself. All I can give you is a chance."

"what chance?"

"Become my research assistant."

Making an instant decision in her heart, Rikka's face turned solemn: "So, what's the price?"

Even though she is new to the world, she knows there is no free lunch.

If you want to gain power beyond yourself, you can't do it without paying a price.

The difference is only the size of the cost.

"You need to put in more sweat and even blood than before."

Kaguya said in a deep voice: "And the most important thing... freedom!"

"Freedom..." After hearing this word, Rikka fell silent.

After a few minutes of mental struggle, the little Loli suddenly raised her head and looked at the gray-haired man next to her with burning eyes: "I am willing to be your assistant."

"Very good." Kaguya nodded with satisfaction.

It was not in vain that he spent so much energy to guide, and finally succeeded in... conquering the first one.

Standing up and coming behind the little Loli, Kaguya ordered: "Take off your coat, push your hair to both sides, expose the back of your neck, then relax and don't resist."

"What do you want the dean to do?" Rikka trembled when she heard that she needed to take off her clothes, but she still complied with it.

"Plant a curse seal for you."
