Loki asked Hermes to change his vest, and he really changed his vest, and he was still a real boss.

There was a so-called "influencer on Wall Street" sitting in charge. He suggested that Changjie Middle School should sign up for the encyclopedia knowledge contest for middle school students. Miss Smith laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.

In the end, the school decided to bear all the costs, and we didn't even need to worry about the registration fee.

Apart from me, Rocky, and Meryl, the remaining three contestants were carefully selected by Hermes from the summary of students who applied for registration.

Then, it's time for the patrons of competitive games to play to their strengths.

I don't know what method Hermes used. He disappeared for two days, and when he came back on the third day, he put a two-inch-thick tome on the table.

"The question bank of the encyclopedia competition." He sat down on the chair proudly, and raised the corners of his mouth arrogantly, "Let's brush up the questions, let me take a look... There are still three months before the competition starts. During these three months, you It is necessary to ensure that each person brushes it three times, and the rate of correct questions is above 80%."

I:"……"

80%!You kill me!

Before Hermes finished speaking, he pushed the bulk of the tome to me: "This is just the content of the first round of the written test. After passing the written test, it is the real knowledge competition. I read it, and the content of each round of the competition It’s pretty much the same, basically it’s just answer scoring and keynote speeches. So, you have to train your reaction ability, on-the-spot ability and speech ability, and it’s best to train your accent and speech speed specially.”

I:"…………"

Are you serious!

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about this thick entire question bank—it has as much content as my Spanish dictionary, and I have to do it three times within three months, and I have to guarantee the correct rate of questions?

We usually still have classes and final exams, okay?

"Hey, this is the beginning of retreat."

As the king of running, Hermes easily understood my expression.He put his hands behind his head, and said with a playful smile: "He is a business elite, a child of a leading enterprise, but he has been so busy in and out of class since he was a child. Look at your school, everyone is foolishly wasting their lives, how can you be with them?" Compare?"

I couldn't help muttering: "I didn't even want to compare with them."

Hermes: "So people can go to Harvard, but you can't."

I do not speak.

Hermes pushed the tome in front of me again: "Put it away, little girl, I can run, but you can't. It's not a bad thing to improve yourself."

Ugh.

Can you still refuse?

Like Hermes said, I can't run away either.

Not to mention that the foreign gods that I can't feel are still "watching" me, even if I want to run out of the campus, transfer to another school and disappear, and get rid of Zeus Rocky and other old gods, what about my dad?

I can only take the question bank of the encyclopedia competition with my head down, and stuff the heavy tome into my backpack.

"Let's go," I stood up, "my dad is still waiting for me to come home for dinner."

"Hey, Ares has become a good father too?"

Hermes followed quickly.

I was too lazy to talk, the latter glanced at me, and then couldn't help sighing: "You little girl, you don't look like your father at all."

My steps stopped.

Instead, Hermes walked to the front. He stepped out of the teaching building first and walked into the campus.

"At the time, I thought Ares was a lunatic, unreasonable and insane. In the 21st century, he is an anti-social and war-crazed monster."

Because he wanted to pretend to be a boss, Hermes still wore a high-end costume provided by Loki.He is very chic, he dislikes the handmade suit which is too close-fitting, so he simply carries it in his hand, wearing a white shirt, tie, and his carefully trimmed mustache, he really has the appearance of a young elite.

However, the young elite opened his mouth and closed his mouth, but it was an ancient story with a completely different style of painting.

"But thinking about it now, he was really imposing at that time."

Hermes shook his head and said, "As long as he appears and stands there, he doesn't need to make a move, he doesn't need to move, he just needs to appear on the stage, and he can scare the crap out of people.

"Once when I passed by the battlefield, I saw that the formations on both sides were so decent, so I wanted to join in the fun. As soon as I got close, I saw Ares standing in the middle, and he just glanced at me, just that—

"That feeling, uh, to use a modern analogy, is that someone pointed a () gun at the forehead. At that moment, I felt like I was going to die. Fortunately, I was passing by. After I turned around and ran away, both sides The fight started, but Ares didn't pursue it.

"Nicole, think about it, even Zeus himself couldn't scare me away with a single glance! Your father was very beautiful at that time, alas, I heard he is now a fool? Although this is also for world peace It’s not a small contribution, but it’s a pity if you think about it carefully.”

I didn't speak.

The "then" and "then" dictated by Hermes were thousands of years ago.

At that time, Europe was still the era of theocracy, and even the Roman Empire was gone.

It's too far away, so far away that even if I'm surrounded by old gods, such a story is just a historical legend to me, and I really can't feel any sense of reality.

Especially Ares in Hermes' mouth is so majestic.

But my own father who was waiting for me at home always had a dull expression, a baggy shirt, and a pair of slippers that hadn’t changed for thousands of years.

The difference is too great to imagine.

I also didn't feel that the glorious past that Hermes missed in words had anything to do with me.

but……

It is precisely because I can't imagine it that I want to see it.

Wanted to see what my dad would look like when he was back to normal.

Will he still be as scary as Hermes said?Probably not, Fernando said that he and my dad are congenial, and both of them want to solve the problem of Outer God.Being able to worry about this kind of thing proves that Ares has also changed with the development of the times, and his personality has changed.

What will my dad be like?

At least, when Catherine and the others quarrel with me again, they won't repeatedly mock me with "your father is disabled".

Thinking of this, I let out a breath of foul air slowly.

Just work hard and work hard, just in case it will be done!

"understood."

I cheered up: "I won't run away, don't worry!"

Hermes smiled: "That's fine."

Sure enough, he said those words to encourage me.Seeing that I regained my fighting spirit, I started rambling about my plan again.

Hermes is not only the god of deceit, he is also the god of eloquence. In the popular words nowadays, he "collided with the gods" with Loki.

In terms of nagging, he did not give up.

"I looked at the process. The competition has reached the final stage, and it will be on TV. It's another matter to face the camera. I have to find someone to train. But it doesn't matter, I have already contacted the appropriate instructor. He said I'll come over to say hello to you in two days."

"The finals are too far away."

I raised my eyebrows: "It's better to do the questions first."

Hermes: "I'm a busy person, I only came to see you when I heard your name!"

Who, it will never be Athena who has ridiculed me.

Thinking about it, Athena didn't want to see Ares, and she might not want to see Hermes.

but……

"Thank you," I whispered, "It will take half a year from now to the end, and you will lose your freedom for so long."

I say this from the bottom of my heart.

Among the unreliable and cheap relatives, Hermes turned out to be the most reliable one.

He is actually helping me!

I don't know how many times better than Zeus who evaporated in the next sentence.

However, Hermes did not feel grateful.

Hearing me say that, he laughed out loud, and even stretched out his hand to ruffle my hair: "You sympathize with me? You sympathize with me! Sympathize with yourself, little girl, and you will be forced to save me for nothing. In the position of the world, it's pitiful, hey hey!"

Between laughing and laughing, the two of us have already walked to the gate of the campus.

Only then did Hermes let me go, and waved his hand gracefully.

"Let's go, hurry home," he said enthusiastically, "I even made an appointment with someone to gamble!"

You can switch between business elites and street hooligans freely, without any delay!

Hermes left as soon as he said, without looking back.

As soon as he left, a familiar yin and yang aura sounded behind me: "Let me see who this is? It turns out to be Nicole, a busy person."

I:"……"

Turning around, it really was Catherine and her followers.

During this period of time, I was too busy, scrambling for philosophy class homework, and preparing for the knowledge competition group, so I didn't have time to quarrel with Catherine.She made trouble for me several times, and she dealt with it perfunctorily because I was busy studying.

Not to mention, I usually see her gnashing her teeth in annoyance and not making noise for a long time, and seeing her arrogant appearance again, I still miss her a little bit.

"Nicole is amazing right now."

Catherine's beautiful face still had her signature smirk: "First, she had a hot fight with a transfer student, and now she is taken care of by a business tycoon. She really deserves to be the daughter of a drug hero, and she is the girl of the day, right?"

Whoops, changed the rhetoric.

I guess I thought about it for a few days.

I fanned the wind with my hands, and rolled my eyes: "You are sour, you just keep being sour. Why do you sour me, Catherine? The cheerleader is not enough for you?"

"How can I compare with you?"

Catherine sneered a few times, then turned her head and said to her follower: "I see, I wouldn't be surprised even if the big star Mickey Elton came to pursue Nicole!"

When her words fell, outside the campus, a few groups of girls who hadn't left suddenly burst into screams.

The sudden sound startled both Catherine and me.

No one cared about the quarrel, and turned their heads following the sound.

I saw a sand-gold sports car parked outside the school at some point, the door of the sports car opened, and a handsome guy with a huge bouquet of roses came down.

——To say "handsome guy" is to uglify the appearance of the visitor.

Blonde, blue eyes, dignified appearance, tall figure and fashionable clothes, from head to toe, even the most critical fashion experts can't find any flaws and shortcomings in him.

If you want to say "perfect", it is probably the case.

This face is familiar not only to me, but to everyone present.

He is the big star Mickey Elton that Catherine just mentioned.

That is Apollo, the god of light in Greek mythology!

Apollo looks more handsome than the image in the big screen.He looked around with those light-colored eyes, and just this search action made the bustling streets quiet for a moment.

Then, his eyes locked on me at the school gate.

The God of Light parted his thin lips lightly and smiled in surprise.

"Nicole!"

He shouted loudly, and raised the rose in his hand: "I'm here to visit you!"

Catherine who just mocked me with him: "..."

I:"…………"

What kind of dreamy Mary Su romance novel scene is this!
