Chapter 317: The First Day of the Academy Festival (10)
Before the sun set, all the members of Class VII inspected the musical instruments and costumes that had been transported to the auditorium, and then returned to the dormitory in the afterglow of the setting sun.
On the way back, Lane heard a voice, a voice that had not been heard for a long time.
Ancient, vast, as if crossing time, from the primeval to the present.
"The time has come!"
The indescribable throbbing swept through the whole body, so violent, so surging, that it was about to break through the body and rush to the sky.
"Is it finally here?" Dawn paused, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
The brief momentary change went unnoticed by the others - except for his accomplice, Emma, who walked at the end of the line.
Emma lowered her head, looking like she was about to cry:
"Why, why today?"
At the same time, at the top of the old school building, the hands of the wall clock that had been stagnant for many years suddenly began to turn. In less than a minute, the hands had turned from 9:25 to 12.
When the hour and minute hands came to a sharper position, a soft aura came out of the ground, quickly climbing the entire old school building
At 19:00 that day, all the members of Class VII gathered in the dormitory cafeteria to make a final discussion for tomorrow's performance.
After some discussion, and several cappella songs, Elliot was finally satisfied: "Well, that's perfect." β
"yes, the way the last song is brought in feels good," Alyssa chimed in.
"It feels like it's going to be a nice surprise." Macchias agreed.
"Right?" Chloe blinked.
"Although Chitzer is originally this man's style," Jusis paused deliberately at this point.
Fei lived up to expectations and complained: "It's better to say that it's crooked." β
"Hehe, forget it, so be it." Laura smiled, "Anyway, it's also in line with the purpose of the academy festival." β
"The next thing is to see how hot we can stir up the emotions of the audience. β
"Well, it's all come to this point, so you can only rely on momentum." I didn't expect Gaius, who has always been calm, to say such bloody words.
"Oh~ I'm already on fire." Miriam folded her hands behind her head and looked left and right excitedly, and then she noticed Emma's strange appearance, "Hey, squad leader, you don't seem to have much energy, huh?" β
"What's wrong? Feeling unwell? Alyssa asked.
"No, I'm fine." Emma shook her head slightly, but there was still a dark cloud on her brow.
"Emma, don't burden yourself too much." Li called Emma's name softly, and gave her a reassuring smile, "No matter what happens, we will stand behind you, support you, and work with you." β
"Yes, yes."
"Emma, don't worry."
"Squad leader, come on."
Different words, the same meaning.
"Everyone" Emma's eyes are slightly red. Obviously, what everyone says is not the same thing as what they think, but I don't know why, when I hear everyone's voice, the anxiety in my heart disappears without a trace?
"Don't you feel more energetic?" Rien blinked.
"Hmm." Emma nodded vigorously, her frowning brow finally relaxedβit was great that I was able to come to Class VII and meet everyone.
"Speaking of which, there's a new move on Crossbell's side."
"Oh, that's the rumor." Macchias sighed.
"That's not a rumor, it's a fact." Lane handed over two reports, "Let's take a look at this. β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Express" suddenly came to an emergency meeting.
Mayor Dita held an emergency meeting at Orchid Tower today, and during the talks, he issued a declaration to freeze all assets stored by countries in the International Bank of Crossbell (IBC), and only by recognizing the independence of Crossbell can the freeze be lifted.
Due to the suddenness of the meeting, we are not yet able to confirm the specifics. However, judging from the actual content of the statement, it can be determined that the president and mayor of IBC is forcibly intervening in the internal affairs of various countries.
It is surprising that IBC, which has the largest amount of assets in the mainland and manages most of the overseas assets of the continent, suddenly made such a move. After the declaration was issued, many manufacturers in various countries were already in chaos, and the market of the republic was already in a state of panic. One economist said: "The impact of this declaration on the international economy has been enormous, and the outcome is unpredictable. A spokesman for the diplomatic department said: "Is it really necessary to freeze the assets of various countries? Hope to reconsider. β
The Empire and the Republic have issued an ultimatum for military intervention.
According to the information we have just received, the governments of the Empire and the Republic have held an official meeting.
The spokesman of the Government of the Republic demanded that the IBC and the Autonomous Region of Cross Bell immediately unfreeze the assets of the Republic, otherwise they would not hesitate to use force to solve the problem.
It is understood that the Imperial Government has begun to mobilize troops, and this meeting may be their ultimatum.
As for the relevant information, we will make a quick report as soon as we get new and reliable information. (Commissioner)

The two stories were from Cross Bell and had only been sent to Lane through special channels an hour earlier.
The protagonist of the first report, the initiator of a series of events in Crossbell, is known to Alisa.
"Mayor Dita Corouis, one of the representatives of the autonomous region, and a bourgeoisie who is also the president of IBC, actually I met him once, although it was with my mother. He is a collaborator of Ryan Fort, and also helps to act as an intermediary between Guide.com and ARCUS. At the time of meeting, I couldn't see that he would do such a messy thing. β
"If the IBC really freezes the foreign assets of various countries, not only the empire, but also the entire continent will inevitably fall into chaos."
Emma's words are not groundless, IBC, as the world's largest bank and a giant in the financial industry, does have this kind of influence, and even the most uncommon sense Philippines knows the consequences of this move - "There can be panic, and it's quite big." β
"Well, some of the Duke's assets are also stored in IBC." Jusses said.
"However, it is not yet possible to say for sure. This continues to anger the empire and the republic, and the autonomous region itself may disappear. Miriam pointed to the last part of the newspaper, "The mobilization of troops here should refer to the 4th and 5th Mecha Divisions of the Garelian Fortress. β
The strength of these two divisions, everyone in Class VII has witnessed it with their own eyes, and it is by no means that the "weak" Crossbell can withstand it.
"Did they really make up their minds or did they have another purpose?" This is not only Gaius's problem, but what everyone but Lane wants to know.
"But is there a way for your family to come in such a situation? It's all the top of the empire. β
Uh, Chloe, are you complaining on behalf of the Pharaohs? Spit on this group of second generations in the house?
PS: Sure enough, even the official admits that the trajectory of flash is the trajectory of the second generation.
PS2: Chloe said no pressure, I'm not the second generation, I'm the third generation.
PS3: The next few chapters can be boring because of the recreation of a lot of dialogue in the game. This is the high-tide part of the trajectory of the flash.,Omit the feeling that the flash track is not a flash track.,Don't omit it and feel too verbose.γ (To be continued.) )
