April 4, 2035, Qianxi City, China. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"よし (good)."

In front of the fairly clean mirror, the girl from Japan gently patted her cheek to wake herself up.

A hotel of 200 yuan a night, naturally you can't ask for too much, and the mirror can clearly see the traces of perfunctory rags. However, this does not detract from the girl's beautiful appearance at all.

The appearance in the mirror is less than twenty years old, youth can always raise a lot of points for women's appearance, the capable short hair reveals a vigorous and resolute feeling, and the purple eyes are reminiscent of the majestic word, which is not in tune with girls. The skin is supple and fair, and if someone takes a photo by chance, you can directly use it as an advertising model for cosmetics without much retouching.

And the most attractive thing about her is the color of her hair.

Bright silver.

Pure silver hair that you can't find in any country.

The progress of science and technology is always best reflected in daily life, and it would have been impossible to dye such beautiful hair ten years ago, when hair dyeing technology had not yet reached its peak.

Of course, dyeing your hair once ten years ago wouldn't have made a high school girl eat instant noodles for two months in a row.

"Sinoo, 出発します。 (Shino, it's time to go)"

Ready, she stepped into her leather boots at the door, the brown leather wrapped tightly around her calves, a little out of tune with the white tracksuit she was wearing, but it wasn't too strange in this age of more personality.

She muttered to herself, taking a deep breath, and the two contradictory and unified emotions of confidence and nervousness appeared on her lovely face at the same time.

Stepping on the bag, as if not very relieved, he called up an email from his mobile phone. Although the shape of the mobile phone has not changed significantly for more than ten years, it can be said to be a qualitative leap inside. Sensing the owner's pulse and speculating on the owner's intentions, the phone completed her request when she touched herself, the screen lit up and an email floated up.

The headline reads: "Admission Letter of Sword Banner Academy"

Sword Banner Academy, a new school founded less than 20 years ago. At the same time, it is also the world's leading prestigious school.

I don't know why, the governments of various countries went crazy and sent their elite talents to teach in this school, and the teaching staff was simply terrible. When browsing the official website, in the teacher column, the title alone can make people think bitterly.

In China, in order to provide a good environment for the students of the school, a new city has even been set aside with the school as the center, which is dedicated to the living area attached to the school. This city is Shallow Creek.

has such a strong resource, but it adopts a unique "talent" to admit. This kind of thing originally thought that Shino would only appear in a game where all the main characters were prefixed with the prefix "super high school".

By the way, Shino is a big fan of this game, and the sixth installment of the series, which will be released in two months, has decided to buy instant noodles no matter how long it takes.

Sword Banner Academy has an exam paper for the whole world every year. But the strange thing is that it is not completely based on the results of the exam papers, such as Shinuo herself: because her mother is a Chinese, she can speak Chinese since she was a child, and she received a test paper with the mood of "try it and see if it hurts", but the test paper with a full score of 720 points only got 122 points......

After all, the Chinese test questions are completely different from the Japanese test questions in terms of question type and question range. To be able to get such a high score is thanks to the huge number of multiple-choice questions on the exam paper.

As a result, she was accepted as well. The reason is that the marking teacher thinks that she has talent. I don't know how you see it, but it's better to have a first-class university than nothing, isn't it?

Shi Nuo also wondered if it would be a prank email, but an international call passed, and the official reply from Sword Banner Academy was: "Yes, you are an admitted student of this college." ”

If you don't happen to be talented, your journey to higher education will be hard. Maybe you'll get a job after graduating from high school, and then live a boring life as a social animal.

It's scary to think about......

Shino quickly shook her head and threw the terrible "if" far away.

The room rented by Shino was a cheap single room, with no highlights except for being cheap, the quilt had been folded, the table was clean, and the comics to pass the time had been put away. Facing the bed is an LCD TV with the news playing.

"In the early hours of yesterday morning, there was another case of missing people in China, and the missing person was ...... This is the fourth case this year, and the police have been involved in the investigation, please stay tuned for follow-up reports for more information......"

With a flick of his finger, the sensor in the room keenly received the owner's command to "turn off the TV", the screen snapped black, and the face of the newscaster in the suit and leather shoes disappeared completely.

What about the fourth...... It's really hard, Chinese.

Shino thought so, with a sympathetic expression.

Since about 20 years ago, the peaceful world has become turbulent again, and cases of missing people can be heard from all over the world, and terrorist attacks have been repeated one after another.

All in all, since 20 years ago, the world has been rippled. Among them, the most frequent cases occur in China. It is also understandable that China's land area and population are both "among the best", and the large base makes it natural to have many cases. At least that's how Sino's shallow knowledge of mathematics is understood.

In the beginning, these cases would take up an entire page in a newspaper or on Twitter, but by now, everyone is basically used to it. And none of the terrorists were caught. So now the news is just to say where something happened, and then symbolically say a follow-up report, and then there is no then.

"I'm leaving."

Facing the empty room, Shinuo said goodbye again in Chinese, but he was in China. She reminded herself again. He handed over the electronic authentication key to the room on his mobile phone and walked out quickly.

Since he came to report, Shinuo naturally would not choose a hotel that was too far away from the school. It takes less than 20 minutes to walk from the door to the only school in the city of Qianxi.

Walking through the poplar-lined streets, the green canopy contrasts beautifully with the colorful shop signs lining the road, but both are bright colors, so it's just a difference between solid and variegated colors.

People who travel in twos and threes are walking at a leisurely pace. Most of them were students, who looked to be in their mid-twenties, and they walked down the road with a smile and a smile, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet street. There are relatively few adults, and those who can settle here are either students of the Sword Banner Academy, or school tutors, shop guys and owners, the latter of which naturally do not take random walks, so the young college students on the street have become a unique scenery.

The streets are very clean, before Shi Nuo came to China, he had heard a lot of Internet rumors, saying that China's streets are very dirty, but in fact, when he came to Qianxi, Shi Nuo once again affirmed the view that Internet speech cannot be believed.

According to the Internet, the streets of China should be a scene of confetti flying all over the place, pet feces all over the ground, and sanitation workers frowning all day long, but in fact, what Shallow Creek presents to Shino is not at all inferior to the beauty of the streets of Japan, which are known for their cleanliness.

A sprinkler truck drove slowly past her, and the cold mist drenched Shino's heart. Today's technology has made it possible for cars to do without a driver, but it has not been able to make machines understand how to take care of things off the road.

The two girls who were talking and laughing while licking ice cream didn't pay attention, and they were also drenched in the mist like Shinuo, and after showing a little troubled expression, they began to prank their girlfriends with relief, and the air became happy.

Walking along the street, turning a few corners, and after crossing the zebra crossing, the imposing gate of the Sword Banner Academy appeared in front of you.

It looks no different from the ordinary school gate, with eye-catching bright colors and the words Sword Banner Academy written on the high arches, nothing particularly noteworthy. The gate is open, and you can clearly see the trees in the middle of the passage, as if welcoming yourself. Shino happily took a breath of air to cool down her excitement.

"失礼ですが、Shino さんですか? (Excuse me, are you Shino?) ）”

Just as Shi Nuo jumped and walked towards the door, a calm male voice suddenly stopped him.

"Huh?"

Shino is Japanese, and although she has half the blood of Chinese on her body, it is the first time she has set foot in Chinese mainland. Naturally, such a life trajectory will not have friends in China. She stopped curiously and looked at the man who had stopped her.

Subsequently......

"Minister Tezuka?! Is Minister Tezuka you?! ”

Without paying attention, Shinuo shouted directly.

The man in front of him was wearing a well-fitting white suit, looking a few years older than Shino, with a thin figure, a gentle face with a smile, gold wire glasses and soft short black hair, giving people a docile bookish atmosphere. What's more, his appearance is very similar to the character Tezuka Kunimitsu in the popular sports manga "The Prince of Tennis" at the time.

"No, my name is Bai Yu. Student-sino. However, everyone reacted that I was like Kunimitsu Tezuka. ”

Listening to her speak Chinese, the man who called himself Bai Yu smiled brightly at her, showing eight teeth, a standard model smile. Although there was embarrassment in his words, his expression maintained a kind tenderness, which gave Shino a place to rely on for her excited, excited and somewhat nervous mood.

"Hey, hey? Yes, I'm Shino, excuse me, who are you? ”

After being surprised, Shino finally remembered that she was here to report on the admission. Considering that he might be a senior or teacher who guides the new students to enroll, Shino hurriedly saluted politely.

"I'm the student body president of this school, and I'm a sophomore this year. I'm here to guide you through the admissions process. ”

Bai Yuwen explained to her that he was completely different from the prince of tennis, Kunimitsu Tezuka, and that he had a gentle attitude.

"Yes. Thank you for your help. ”

Sure enough, they came to guide me to school!

And also the president of the student council!!

Shinuo said, quickly called up the text message on his mobile phone that he had read countless times, and handed it to Bai Yu. As if he was afraid that the other party would suspect that he was a liar. After all, it was a world-renowned college, and Shinuo began to get nervous.

"Well, okay. So, first of all, let's do the routine registration. ”

Bai Yu said and rolled up the sleeve of his right hand a little, revealing something similar to handcuffs, silver-gray, with a metallic texture. This is a wrist-wheeled portable computer that was only put into production two years ago, and the price is so high that ordinary people feel pain just by looking at the zero behind this number.

Bai Yu's powerful fingers tapped on it a few times, and only to hear a snap, a light blue electronic screen flew between the two. There are various information about Shinuo written in detail on it, and there are two buttons at the end, one to confirm admission and one to no.

After Shinuo clicked to confirm admission, Bai Yu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Shinuo." ”

"Huh? That's it? ”

Shi Nuo hasn't understood what is going on, generally speaking, admission is not all super troublesome to fill out all kinds of forms and queues, although technology is advancing, but the people who use technology have not progressed with it, the efficiency of machinery is improving, and human laziness is still the culprit that slows down the work process.

Everyone has dreamed countless times that one day, all kinds of formalities will not have to wait, submit the application now, and the next second will be completed. As a result, this really happened, and Shinuo felt unreliable.

"Hehe, that's it. Admission to Sword Banner Academy is as simple as that. We have an enlightened house president. He felt that after writing so many explanations that some had and didn't, everyone just took the next step without reading them, and simply canceled them all. ”

Bai Yu smiled, and the man, who could almost be a model, gently patted her on the shoulder, making her come back from her open-minded admiration for the head of the academy, and said, "I'll take you to the dormitory." ”

"Yes! Thanks to the seniors. ”

——————

The Sword Banner Academy is very large.

This is the most intuitive feeling of Shinuo.

She had imagined countless times that she had only lived in Tokyo, Japan, and that when she set foot on a foreign land, she would inevitably be affected by a foreign culture.

But even with mental preparation, Shino was still frightened.

Bai Yu gave Shino a copy of the school's electronic map. Then, Shino was frightened.

It's more of a city than a school.

Although in Shallow Creek City, it is a bit strange to say that Sword Banner Academy is like a city.

For example, it's a bit like an ancient city.

The city walls, the city walls, the city walls, the city walls, the cities, so the division layer by layer. The school is also surrounded by the main highway and the dormitory of the school building, divided layer by layer, like an irregular giant concentric circle.

As for the size of the college, it can be seen from the fact that it has built a subway to make it easier for students to go to school. The dormitories and teaching buildings are divided into living quarters according to a certain rule, and it generally takes three stations from each dormitory to the teaching building. The farthest one takes fifteen stops.

"Wow, that's amazing. China, すごい (super powerful)! ”

Shino sighed. Looking at the look of reverence in her eyes, she probably imagined all over China as such, right?

Bai Yu speculated, but did not correct her: everyone has the right to dream and the power to dream, and it is a sin to destroy the beauty in their hearts.

With such a large campus, it is unrealistic to walk around. Bai Yu mainly took her to the dormitory building and checked in. This procedure must be carried out with sufficient authority. For example, the teachers who are responsible for orientation, such as the school board and the head of the house, and for example, the student president.

Sword Banner Academy attaches great importance to the "autonomy" and "individuality" of students, and like the animation setting, the student council is an important part of students' self-management and has considerable authority. In this era of rapid development of electronic technology and the need for "permission" almost everywhere, this is quite a lot of power.

As for other questions, you will get an electronic student card after check-in, and after that, Shino can also do it herself.

"Feeling...... Seems a little deserted, huh? ”

Until I arrived at the subway station on campus, Shinuo suddenly came out with such a sentence. According to Shinuo's simple speculation, such a big school must have a lot of students, and today's day is still the day of new students' enrollment, so there is no reason to be so deserted?

There were only students in the subway station, and everyone was dressed in different clothes. As an important hub area, it's even a little less pupil than you see outside the city......

Bai Yu touched his nose and said with a smile: "Because it's the green day." ”

"Walking on the day?"

This strange noun made Shino tilt her head, and her clean short silver hair made a beautiful arc in the air.

Bai Yu explained, "This is a festival unique to the Sword Banner Academy. Every year on April 4th, the school covers 40% of the cost of the trip. So students travel on this day almost every year...... Ah, it's kind of similar to a school trip in Japan, but it's organized by the students themselves. So today it will feel like a very deserted school. ”

"Hey—"

Shino nodded in understanding.

Suddenly, her purple eyes flickered, and an important question immediately came to mind.

"Wait a minute, does the average school go out on a trip on the day of the new students?!"

"No, it won't."

"That, then ......"

"Because, today is not the entrance day."

For some reason, Shi Nuo felt that the smile of the senior student president was getting brighter and brighter.

"The intake days for your current class of students are September 6 and 7. Unlike Japan, which has three semesters three times a year, China only has two semesters. The day of admission is not April, but September. ”

Bai Yu seemed to have known that she was going to ask this, and said the great thing lightly.

"Hey-wait, wait, that is, I-I came half a year early?!"

"Of course not."

Shinuo breathed a sigh of relief, it would be a shame if she was the only one who had come to school half a year earlier...... No, it's a stain on life. I must have been mistaken as a fool by my classmates as soon as we met.

"You're late. Almost 7 months late, a semester and a half. ”

The girl twisted her cheek hard, and the sharp pain reminded her that this was not a dream or a fantasy.

“…… It hurts ......."

The cute face is now full of bitter expressions that want to cry without tears.

"Whew-then, then I can only repeat a grade?!"

Shinuo's face turned pale, but at this time, the subway entered the station, accompanied by the wonderful hum on the track, and the steel behemoth roared to the station. Shino only felt that this subway was like her college life, and she was attacking her poor beautiful girl.

Bai Yu still kept smiling, gently pushed Shinuo's shoulder, and led her into the subway, only then comforted her: "You don't have to worry too much. Sword Banner Academy pays attention to the credit system. As long as you can take enough credits before the start of the next semester, you should be fine. ”

"Ah...... Can you still fix enough? ”

"Well, if you count the summer vacation, you can."

"That is...... What does it mean to be tutored during the summer vacation? ”

For the first time, a female college student from Japan had the idea of simply giving up her studies to become a social animal.

Summer vacation! Such a wonderful word, and the result is to be tutored?! It's horrible......

Covering her face with her hands, the girl exuded the smell of "don't pay attention to me, let me cry alone for a while", and after a long time, she asked silently: "Why, why didn't the school inform me that I was late?" ”

"The school values individuality. So, there are a lot of people with personalities in this school, probably because they are late to school and think of them as personalities, right? ”

"Personality is too much......"

"Hehe, for Fushimi-san, who uses his screen name as a registered name to report admission, it's not too much to be late, right? Come on. ”

Bai Yu smiled gently, his original intention seemed to be to make Shinuo relax, but in Shinuo's eyes, this was another taste.

Moreover, he easily said Shino's real surname. Should I say, is it worthy of being the president of the student body?

"President...... Did anyone ever say that you are actually black-bellied? ”

"That's a lot of surprises."

Bai Yu's gentleness has now become the most violent impact on Shinuo's heart.

Shinuo smiled wryly and watched the subway door slowly close along with the beautiful campus life she was looking forward to.
