Chapter 17: Parting (Part II)

Nagisa knew that if these two people joined forces to beat him, he would definitely suffer a big loss, so he quickly accepted it when he saw it: "I didn't say anything, hehe." Let's eat it quickly, or it will be gone. Shirley has already eaten quite a bit. ”

"Ahhh Shirley, you are not allowed to eat it, you should eat the long meat again. Tsubasa reverted to his previous commanding appearance, "Shouhe, yours over there, don't rob me." ”

At present, Tsubasa and Shouhe have long been unable to care whether Nagisa really has ulterior motives for Shirley, and they are scrambling to eat their share.

"Ah, Nagisa, it's a waste of your talent not to be a chef." Shoutsuru licked his fingers unsatisfactorily, "Even if it's foie gras made by a professional chef, that's just that." ”

"Well, my principle is that you must eat with both your stomach and your tongue." Nagisa smiled, "Well, it's not too early, let's go to the Holy Spirit Temple." ”

"yes, it's almost time." Shouhe's mood suddenly dropped a little.

"Okay, let's go, maybe everyone has arrived." Tsubasa knew that Shouhe's sadness had been aroused again, and hurriedly diverted the topic, "Nagisa, don't leave after the memorial service is over in a while, I have something to ask you." ”

"Huh? Oh......" Nagisa felt a little strange, but agreed anyway.

The group of four immediately came to the place where the memorial service was held, at this time many students in the Holy Spirit Temple had already arrived, and some students who knew each other were greeting each other in groups of threes and twos, and when they saw them enter, almost all of them nodded to them, and some of the students even bowed to them to express their respect. After all, if there weren't a few of them in that battle a month ago, I don't know how many more casualties the cadets would have.

"Do you think of us as heroes?" Nagisa smiled bitterly and glanced at Shouhe, "Hehe, a few of us really didn't really help much, and it was true that we were beaten up by others in the end." If it weren't for Douglas and Master Sheila coming to the rescue in time, our lives would have been over. ”

"Not really! If it weren't for the lack of residual energy in Nagisa's body, that situation would definitely not have occurred. Shirley's mouth pursed unhappily again.

"Hehe, alright, there's nothing to be angry about. This is also a manifestation of my own lack of control over the body. Nagisa comforted softly, habitually touching Shirley's head.

"Senior Nagisa, don't keep touching other people's heads, okay? It's time for people to grow tall. Shirley's mouth was so pouting that she could hang an oil bottle.

"Okay, okay, that's not going to touch your head. What do you want to do? ”

"Hehe, of course that's right." As she spoke, Shirley opened her hands and hugged Nagisa's left arm tightly. Nagisa had no choice but to ignore Shouzuru and Tsubasa's murderous gaze, and led her forward with a wry smile helplessly and dotingly.

In addition to the piercing gazes of the two people around them, Nagisa and Shirley's intimate behavior also caused most girls to exclaim with jealousy and grievance, as well as the dissatisfaction of several boys who coveted Lori like Shirley like Shouhe. But after all, it was a solemn occasion such as the chief instructor's memorial service, so this little turmoil quickly subsided.

Suddenly, there was a low cheer in the Holy Spirit Temple, followed by the buzz of the students. Because at this time, the highest level of the academy, Lord Sheila, the dean of the Dark Sanctuary Academy, took the lead from the backstage to the rostrum in the center of the Holy Spirit Temple, and behind Sheila, there were several familiar or unfamiliar faces behind everyone.

"Please be quiet, everyone!" Sheila walked to the podium and glanced at the trainees. For a moment, there was silence in the Temple of the Holy Spirit.

Sheila cleared her throat and continued, "Today is a special day. A month ago, we had a dedicated, good teacher who left us forever for the sake of protecting the students and for the honor of the Academy. It is with a heavy heart that we are here to hold a memorial service for the chief instructor of the Dark Sanctuary Academy, Swordcat. First of all, please observe a minute of silence. ”

Everyone's mood suddenly calmed down a little, and they silently lowered their heads. Some of the older students even sobbed lowly at the thought of the sword cat's careful teaching.

It is true that in the eyes of the freshmen, the sword cat seems to have a bit of a funny brain, and it is not so reliable. Only after a long time of contact with him will you gradually understand his excellence. Not to mention being conscientious and responsible, his rigor and meticulousness in teaching are also what most teachers are ashamed of. Moreover, it was his nonsensical personality that greatly alleviated the boredom and tedium of the course, allowing him to quickly get along with the academy and the students of the Dark Sanctuary to benefit a lot from the joy.

"Okay, the silence is over. I believe that the teachings of Chief Instructor Sword Cat will be of great use to you for the rest of your life. As long as you can remember him in your hearts, he will not leave forever. Xie Lalang said, "Listen, although it is a memorial service, the most important content of today is not this. Here, I would like to announce two things to you. I must caution you to remain calm when you hear these two pieces of news – I don't want anyone to behave on this day and on this incomparably noble occasion. ”

The students looked at each other, speculating about what sheila was going to say.

"Okay, please be quiet. The first thing I would like to announce is that, according to credible information, the peace between the three forces has been completely broken. Ten days ago, the Desert Empire officially declared war on the Middle Kingdom. The forces of the Desert Empire have now pressed to the forward position of the Western Fortress of the Middle Kingdom. ”

"What?!" Catherine was immediately shocked, and immediately took out the communicator and sent a message to Nagisa through the private chat channel, "How is this possible?" Is there any news from Saber? ”

"There was no news. As far as I can tell, it's still manageable, after all, Saber and I have already made arrangements. But the Desert Empire's side of the war is starting a war earlier than I expected, and it may be a surprise to hit the Western Fortress. ”

Tsubasa fell into deep thought, unaware that the Holy Spirit Temple was already full of discussion at this time. You must know that after the end of the last rebellion, all the students of the Holy Kingdom have completed the evacuation with Wren, in other words, the students present now are not only from the Middle Kingdom but also from the Desert Empire, and this news is tantamount to detonating a bomb at the scene.

"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet! Sheila shouted through the microphone, "I know this news has taken everyone by surprise. But there is no doubt about the accuracy of this news. The second news I would like to make is that the Academy is preparing to close temporarily due to the war between the two countriesβ€”the Dark Templar Academy will not be involved in the battle between either side, nor does it want to get involved in these rights and wrongs, let alone cause unpleasant things to happen to you in the Academy because of the war between the two countries. So, there is no alternative. ”

"Whew, is that really the case?" When the two countries go to war, as future pilots who have been trained, it is natural for the cadets of the Dark Sanctuary Academy to return to their respective countries and serve in the army. Thinking that today's classmates and even friends will become enemies in the future, and seeing each other on the battlefield, Nagisa closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Trainees from both countries can pack up and return to their home countries the same day after the disbandment. The exact time of the Academy's reopening will depend on the situation, and the Academy will notify the high-level forces of all parties a month before the reopening - that's it, now that the meeting is adjourned, everyone can go back and prepare. With that, Sheila led the people backstage and left the Temple of the Holy Spirit.

There was an uproar in the Holy Spirit Temple, and a few anxious students had already left and went back to the dormitory to pack their bags.

"Nagisa!" Tsubasa exclaimed, and Nagisa turned her head to look at her, a look that made Tsubasa understand what he was thinking.

"Okay, let's not mess around." Nagisa soothed her, "I know you're in a hurry, and I'm anxious too, but we should contact that person first to see what the situation is now." ”

Nagisa turned on his personal communication system and sent a message to Fei Lun: "Fei Lun, I know that you are a commoner in the Middle Kingdom, but your teacher should be a master of swords in the Middle Kingdom, right?" After the meeting, I went to the dormitory, and there were some things I thought I should let you know. ”

After receiving Faeron's affirmative reply, Nagisa turned to look at Shouhe and Shirley: "Since it has developed into such a situation, I think it is time for us to have to say goodbye." I thought it would come a little later – but life often backfires. ”

"Well, there's no way around it. We cannot influence the direction of the country on our own. Shouhe thought about it very much, "But I guess we will meet again on the battlefield." Don't hang up casually! Hehe. Shirley, gone. ”

"Oh, Senior Nagisa, goodbye, let's have a chance to meet again! I'll send you a message later, but I don't have to reply. After saying that, Shirley showed a big happy smile to Nagisa, and then turned her head and walked out of the Holy Spirit Temple with Shouhe.
