"You were right not to tell your godfather about Zeus' investigation."

Kanas' words rang in my ears.

I froze on the spot.

he knows?

Why would he know?

The moment I raised my head, the hand of Kaynas Uld, who was suspected of being Loki, lifted my forearm very naturally, and then landed on my shoulder.

Like a 15-year-old transfer student from Aragon, he took me into his arms very familiarly, as if he had done so countless times before.

As the distance got closer, I smelled men's perfume and yesterday's subtle breath of inexplicable power in his.

...A 15-year-old student, who knows how to use men's perfume!

While I was slandering, I also saw the face of Catherine in front of Loki change.

There is no doubt that Catherine wants to pick up Rocky, and she is bound to get it.

"Handsome and mysterious transfer student and blond cheerleader" - sounds like a standard feature in every school, too.

But now, Loki naturally puts his shoulders on my shoulders, and I am very passively involved.

"Nicole, so you know Kainas."

Catherine tried her best to maintain a decent expression: "We have such a good relationship, why didn't you tell me?"

Who has a good relationship with you? !

Before I could speak, Loki answered with an Aragorn face: "She doesn't know about my transfer."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at me affectionately with those deep blue eyes with one eye.

"I finally found you, Nicole." Kaynas smiled.

Catherine: "Then you—"

"Sorry, Catherine."

Catherine was still smiling, but Loki interrupted her mercilessly: "Nicole and I have a lot of things to talk about. Anyway, it's not a big deal for you to ask me to borrow a CD. Let's talk about it another day, okay?"

I:"……"

Oh my goodness.

It's lunch time, so many people in the campus cafeteria, everyone sees Aragon—I mean Rocky, who directly rejected the cheerleader Catherine for me.

And basically everyone knows that she and I have always been incompatible.

is it necessary?No need!

Loki turned his head to look at me again, meeting his affectionate gaze, my scalp almost exploded from embarrassment!

Going on like this, without any tools, I can buckle out a new Acropolis for Zeus with my toes.

"You have a lot to talk to me about?"

I bit the bullet and interrupted the two: "Then go out and talk alone."

Rocky gave me a bright smile: "Okay."

I:"…………"

Now I seriously suspect that this person... this god came to Changjie Middle School as a transfer student, there is no conspiracy, he just came to embarrass me!

Yesterday, he "beat up" his classmate and was punished; today he "slapped" his old enemy in the face, and got a handsome guy.

There is no doubt that the topics in the school for the next three months will revolve around "Nicole Hawke".

I don't want to be a gossip celebrity on campus!

Finding a place where I can communicate alone, I turned my head to look at the thin and tall Loki.

"You know Zeus?" I asked.

The "Aragorn" in front of him raised his hands.

"I'm impatient, Nicole," he said. "It's Ares's daughter."

I frowned.

He knew that Zeus had looked for me and that I was the daughter of Ares.

Seeing that I stopped talking, the 15-year-old version of "Aragorn" kept a light smile, tilted his head slightly, and his deep blue eyes always fell on me: "I hope you didn't get hurt in yesterday's episode .”

Which pot does not open which pot.

I said with a cold face, "You are Loki."

The transfer student named Kaynas Uld gave me another innocent smile.

Sure enough.

"Why framed me?" I asked again.

"What?" Loki looked a little confused this time.

"Yesterday," I said, "you made me take an extra month of safety education!"

"That's it."

Loki didn't seem to have any guilt, he asked back of course: "Do you want to be bullied?"

This is not a question of bullying or not, okay?

I do think Janet and the others are too much, but not to the point of bloodshed.

And the conflict between me and them, who needs off-court help.

"Let's talk about business." Loki's focus was not here at all, "I overheard the conversation between you and your godfather in the office yesterday, and it was right not to tell him."

"you--"

"I do know Zeus."

Loki finally answered my first question. The Nordic god of deception nodded against Aragorn's face: "To be precise, the photos and information he showed you were provided by me."

"Then tell me what are the photos and information?" I asked warily.

"It's pretty smart, Nicole," Loki said with a smile on his face, "it's not like Ares at all."

After finishing speaking, he slightly restrained his affectionate expression, and even wiped away his intimate smile.

"It's a photo of your father and your godfather when they participated in the Lazarus Project on the US-Mexico border 17 years ago."

Now, I have nothing to say.

"I'm here to help you, Nicole."

Loki said earnestly: "As far as we know so far, your heavenly father of the Indians—let's continue to call him Fernando for now, is indeed hiding something. We currently know nothing about your father and the Lazarus Project. I can only find out that this is absolutely related to Ares' loss of sanity and your birth."

Me: "You are sowing discord between me and Fernando."

Anyway, my godfather took care of me growing up, and his unreserved care for me is not fake.

Loki was not in a hurry to argue: "I didn't say he was a bad guy, but don't you want to find out why you were born? Don't you want Ares to return to normal?"

I didn't speak.

Saying no, that's a lie.

To be honest, I hope my dad can wake up more than being a savior, a chosen daughter, or a descendant of a god.

Loki's remarks are more convincing than the pie drawn by Zeus.

"You said help me," I asked, "how are you going to help?"

"It's very simple."

Rocky smiled again: "Help you get the admission letter from Harvard University, and then become a student of the Lazarus project professor."

I:"……"

"Don't worry, I'm not as unreliable as Zeus."

A trace of warmth appeared on the face of "Aragorn", and Loki reached out and patted my shoulder.

"Harvard University is difficult to apply for, I understand," he slowed down, "but you are only a freshman, Nicole. My task is to accompany you through the four years of high school, arrange everything, and successfully get admission to the Ivy League notice."

Ok.

This does sound a lot more reliable than Zeus.

Mainly I don't have a choice.

Nominally, Kaynas Uld was just a transfer student at the same level as me, and I couldn't write an anonymous letter to the school saying that he was the legendary Norse god Loki.

As for rejection?

Rejection of what, someone else help me get into Harvard?

"I... have another question."

I pondered for a long time, and then suddenly remembered the conversation between Fernando and me.

Loki exaggeratedly made a "please" gesture: "I must know everything, Nicole."

Me: "All the old gods have lost their power, where did your power come from?"

Rocky smiled.

With the face of Aragorn, his every move and smile is full of unruly and free and easy.

"The gods around you, whether it's Zeus or Fernando, have the same eyes as Odin, and they all feel that they are special. It's normal for them to have no connections."

Obviously, Loki is very aware that his face is very handsome now, and even brushed his long black hair down to his shoulders under my gaze.

"But I'm different, Nicole. In the 21st century, only a god like me can be enjoyed in society."

Loki blinked: "The old gods lost their faith, and thus lost their divine power, but the new gods did not."

Me: "New God?!"

What new gods, it's already the 21st century, why are there still gods born?

Probably my expression was too obvious, and Loki's dark blue eyes flashed a bit of cunning.

Such a cunning appearance does not belong to "Aragorn" at all.

"Of course there will be new gods," Loki guessed. "People are addicted to the Internet, so the Internet gods are born; people follow fashion trends, so the fashion gods are born. Nicole, the gods are born." Faith that comes from human beings, and now, it’s not that faith doesn’t exist anymore, it’s just a different form.”

After finishing speaking, he paused, and looked at my astonished expression with satisfaction: "It's just that those old stubborn people didn't realize it. As for me, I realized it, and my relationship with several new gods is not bad, so the divine power is naturally I borrowed it from them."

This……

God of the Internet?

God of fashion?

This is completely beyond my understanding.

Originally, apart from my own identity, I didn't know too much about the concept of "God".

At least Fernando never told me about the birth of a new god in this world.

Of course, if you think about it optimistically, according to what Loki said, Fernando is also a member of the "stubborn" in his eyes, so he may not know this.

"Then, then you," I couldn't help asking, "Who did you borrow your power from?"

"A new friend of mine, the video game god."

"..."

That's right, the Internet can give birth to gods, why can't games!

"He will come to the United States after a while," Rocky said flauntingly, "I can introduce you to each other at that time. But now we're back to the topic - how to get the admission letter from Harvard University."

"Do you have a plan?" I asked suspiciously.

"It's not me, it's you, Nicole."

Loki put his arm on my shoulder familiarly again, and after I threw it away decisively, he put on a deliberately disappointed expression on his handsome face.

"I remember that Athena is now the Minister of Education of New York State," Rocky said confidently. "Your aunt is such a high-ranking official. Isn't it a matter of minutes to go to Harvard?"

I:"……"

So your solution is to go through the back door and ask for a relationship? !

Why on earth did I believe that the God of Deceit can seriously help me!
