Chapter 329: Far Traveler X April is Your Lie (Part II)
Stafford's Private Greatsword Ability Higher School Park.
The surname Staffords is one of the oldest families in the United States of Tagos, probably dating back to the last generation, and it took more than three hundred years to build its own business empire over several generations, with groups engaged in energy, real estate, genetic engineering, pharmaceuticals and so on.
This, combined with the frequent generosity of donations to various research institutes and orphanages in the United States of Tagos, as well as to the municipal departments of the police department, can be said to have amassed sufficient prestige and contacts for them in the United States of Tagos, one of the two most powerful countries on the Cross Continent.
Stafford's Private Broadsword, a high-level academy for the able-bodied from high school to university, is the top cradle of the Stafford's cooperation with the official Tagos to train the able-bodied.
It is said that the Condor Bureau, the official organization of the United States of Targos, is similar to the third reconnaissance group of Wano Country, and most of the people in charge of it are almost all alumni who graduated from this Academy of Abilities, and the headmaster is a legendary figure who has survived from the previous generation to this day.
Such a top academy that ranks among the best human ability schools in the world in the Cross Continent naturally attracts countless international students and exchange students from other countries every year.
Takehara Minami Private School Park, a small country in a remote corner of the country,Didn't apply for an exchange student quota before,But this year it is said that the principal used some unknown personal relationships,Only seven places were obtained for Takehara Minami Private School Park.γ
After hearing this, Higashinohara's face was a little thoughtful.
At present, the country of Wano is in turmoil, even if all walks of life in society are resuming production and work step by step, but the entire country of Wano is filled with a dull twilight that is visible to the naked eye, as if it may collapse and perish overnight at any time.
At this time, the principal Kyogoku Kawasui sent some potential students of the academy abroad to go abroad to a stronger country and a better capable school as exchange students, which is somewhat towards the meaning of retaining the flame of hope.
Thinking of this, Higashinohara looked up and looked at the slides in front of the multimedia classroom.
In the slideshow, there is a photo of a lakeside school park, and there is a photo at the entrance of the school where you can see a huge stone statue of a sword, and you can feel an indestructible sharpness and the smell of iron and blood from the photo alone.
But with the next photos of the rest of the school on the slide, you can find that this lakeside school is full of humanity and life.
Most of the school's buildings are classical-style castles, with vanilla cream walls and light emerald green roofs, with a classical luxury feel to the decoration.
There is a photo of a row of students and hand-to-hand students wearing the uniforms of the Stafford Private Greatsword Ability Higher School Park standing in front of the library, with the red sun rising in the background, and everyone is tall and heroic under the morning sun.
It turns out that
Isato Aida's information is correct.
On the morning of the first day of school on April 1, Higashinohara entered the classroom not long after wearing a melancholy Nishimaru Miri with a small face according to the class assignment information, and before he could get acquainted with his new classmates, he was called to the multimedia classroom by a male teacher with a roll call.
Thinking of this, Higashinohara couldn't help but turn his head and look at the oblique back, unexpectedly, Kadaya, the president of the Trinity Society who was supposed to graduate this year, actually appeared on the list of special exchange students in this issue.
At this time, she was sitting alone in the row of seats at the back of the classroom, holding the gilded bone fan in her slender and white hands, but she did not have the luxurious feeling of the past, and stared blankly at the slide in front of her.
As if sensing Higashinohara's gaze, Kaguya of Phoenix Temple turned his head to look at Higashinohara, who smiled at her, but the latter nodded stiffly.
At this time, the male teacher on the podium who called them to this classroom with a roster of generals, spoke up again, and introduced, "The Staffford Private Sword School is a world-ranked first-class school of ability, they not only pay attention to the cultivation of ability levels, but also the improvement of personal comprehensive quality, and various rowing, swimming, hot air ballooning, archery and equestrian competitions are held on the lakeside every year. β
"This time our school exchange student quota is not easy to come by,The time is one academic year,We will follow the wishes of each student,I hope you can make a mature and rational choice after careful consideration,And understand the responsibility and mission of this exchangeγ
Responsibility and mission?
The corner of Higashinohara's eyes swept over the students scattered around the classroom, and at this time, everyone lost their initial excitement, as if they had vaguely guessed something in their hearts, and everyone's faces were a little solemn.
After saying this, the male teacher seemed to have received some news, with a respectful smile on his face, he bent down into the microphone and said, "Okay, my introduction is almost here, and our principal will personally explain it to you." β
The headmaster is here?
Everyone in the classroom was excited.
For the students of Zhuyuan Minami Private School Park, that gentleman little old man who sees the dragon and does not see the end is still very loved and respected, not to mention that the other party is still a seventh-order absolute ability person walking in front of him.
Higashinohara also raised his eyes slightly.
The door of the multimedia classroom was opened, and in the morning light walked in a small gentleman with silver-white hair groomed and shiny, with a pocket watch hanging from his breast pocket and an elegant and gentle smile on his face.
"Hello Headmaster."
There was a bang!
Everyone spontaneously stood up and bowed.
Higashinohara also got up with the flow.
He actually had a relationship with Kyogoku River, but the other party didn't know him, but he had a good impression of this old man who sacrificed his life to save people in the sea of fire.
"Everyone came early, yes, yes, very energetic, seeing you is like seeing your former self, sit down." Kyogoku Kawasui smiled and pressed his hand.
Higashinohara sat down with the crowd.
However, instead of standing on the podium in front of the multimedia classroom like the male teacher just now, Kyogoku Kawasui walked up the steps.
He walked over to the boy sitting in the front row, Higashinohara glanced at it, and vaguely remembered that the other party seemed to be the first student to enter the third class A in the second class A last year, named Si Boyu.
He also has a twin sister named Si Boqiong, who is the second place in the second-year entrance exam, and the brother and sister who are talented enough to excel were once called "twin stars" in the Takehara South Private School Park, and it is not surprising that they will appear in the only seven exchange lists this time.
"It's Si Bo, right?"
Principal Kyogokugawa smiled gently.
Si Boyou obviously didn't expect that the principal would walk towards him as soon as he entered the classroom, even if he had excellent talent, he also had a lot of respect for the legendary old man in front of him, who was rooted in the education career, and quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, hello principal." β
Seeing this, her sister Si Boqiong, who was sitting not far from Si Boyou, couldn't help but raise her little chin as smooth and white as a white swan, and the expression on her face had a sense of honor, as if she was very proud of her brother's "respect" by the principal.
At the same time, the corner of Si Boqiong's eyes couldn't help but glance at Higashinohara behind him, and his heart couldn't help but be slightly reserved.
She secretly said that the principal is really the principal, and she knows people with her eyes, and she can see at a glance who is the "star of tomorrow" in the private school park in Zhuyuan South.
Objectively speaking, Si Boqiong doesn't have any bad feelings towards Higashinohara, in fact, it is difficult for handsome boys to cause girls to have a bad impression, even if there are some flaws, they can make up for your brain perfection in your heart.
Higashinohara's "mistake was the mistake" in the entrance examination at the end of the last semester, and the move of skipping from class F in one year to class A in three years is really topical.
Today, on the first day of school, the Si Bo siblings have just entered the new classroom, and they have already prepared their hearts to reap the respectful gaze of their classmates in the new school year as in previous years.
Unexpectedly, after putting down the schoolbag, the people in the classroom were pointing at Higashinohara who was by the window in the back row of the classroom, and there were many discussions, some girls were blushing and shy, and not many people paid attention to their brothers and sisters who had the first and second grades in the second grade.
Shh
What's the big deal.
At that time, Si Boqiong secretly said in his heart.
It's handsome
Let's not talk about it, it's a little handsome.
But it's not a draft in the Academy of Ability.,What's the use of being handsome.γ
As for what others are talking about, the legend of the accumulation and soaring from one-year Class F to three-year Class A, in Si Boqiong's opinion, is even more nonsense.
Since she was a child, she and her brother Si Boyou have always been in Class A, and they have never even entered a weed class like Class F, let alone think that people who crawl out of that class can be called a "legend".
Shouldn't words like legend be prepared for people as talented as themselves and their brothers? It's not something that anyone can defile casually.
Just when Si Boqiong muttered in his heart, Si Boyou, who was raising his head and holding his chest high, also had a sense of affirmative satisfaction after being recognized by others.
The corner of his eye slanted at Higashinohara, who was not far behind him, and replied in a very firm tone, "Headmaster, I have already made a decision, joining the school's exchange student team this time, I will definitely not disgrace Takehara South School Park." β
"Young people are very motivated."
The principal, Kyogoku Kawasui, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, turned back to the male teacher Kikuchi Natsuichi who was standing on the podium, and pouted, "Mr. Kikuchi is the leader of your exchange students this time, and if you encounter any problems over there, you can report to Mr. Kikuchi at any time to solve them." β
After finishing speaking, the old man walked past several people in the classroom in turn and asked if he would like to join the exchange student quota, and the answers he received were basically excited and affirmative.
In the end, the eyes of the old man Kyogoku Kawasui fell on Higashinohara, who was relatively far back in the row, and Kaguya, who was still in a daze, and walked towards Kaguya of Phoenix Temple.
"Headmaster, do I have a choice?"
Before Kyogoku Kawasui could speak, he heard Kaguya put down the gilded folding fan in his hand, and a somewhat bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was saying it to Kyogoku Kawasui and more like saying it to himself.
"Of course, the choice is always in each person's own hands." Kyogoku Kawasui nodded.
Kaguya shook his head, "But my father has transferred all his assets to the United States of Tagos during this time, and there are many people in Wano Country who are now looking for him to ask for debts, and there is a lot of scolding on the Internet about the Phoenix Yuan family as a 'traitor', if I continue to stay in Wano Country, I'm afraid that as his daughter, I will soon become the target of public criticism, right?" β
She said this in a low voice, but it was still heard by Higashinohara, who had a keen sense of hearing.
Asset transfer?
He had a thoughtful look on his face.
Although the tram traffic is operating normally all the way out today, countless pedestrians and office workers are also hurrying the tram with briefcases as usual, as if those in the sky tree a few days ago have no impact on the lives of the people of Wano Country.
But in fact, this is just the majority of ordinary workers who have no choice.
For example, the Phoenix Yuan family, the top-ranked chaebol family in the country of Wano, most of the assets have been transferred overseas, and those who should have run away have already run away, and some projects involving the real estate industry have left countless unfinished buildings, which has attracted a lot of scolding on the Internet recently.
Higashinohara didn't pay much attention to this, but he didn't expect this to be the case with the Kaguya family of Phoenix Temple
At this time, I saw Kaguya of the Phoenix Academy nodding lightly, lowering his head, and saying to the principal Kyogoku Kawasui with a somewhat depressed expression:
"I'd like to join the exchange team."
With a smile on his face, Kyogoku River patted Kaguya's shoulder with relief, "People don't have to care about the momentary gains and losses in front of them, even if it is a century-old family, there will be times when they disappear." β
"If you have that heart, one day in the future when the country of Wano is really in danger to contribute your strength, then you can still rely on yourself to protect the glory of the surname Phoenix Temple, at present, the premise is that you have that ability, this exchange trip will be a test for you."
Kaguya, who was hanging his head down, couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then nodded seriously.
The headmaster, Kyogoku Kawamizu, smiled, and his gaze fell to Higashinohara at the end.
The Si Bo brothers and sisters who were sitting in the front row squinted their eyes without moving, and secretly thought in their hearts:
The order in which the principal talks to people should represent the importance he attaches to the development potential of the seven people on the exchange student list, so it is not a big deal to see that kid
The footsteps stopped in front of him, and the headmaster, Kyogoku Kawami, looked at Higashinohara and said with a smile:
"I've noticed from the moment I walked in that everyone in the classroom was excited about the exchange trip, but you didn't seem to feel that way at all."
Speaking of this, the old man nodded approvingly, and said with a smile to himself:
"It is said that setbacks polish a person's heart, it seems that the two-year experience of repeating a grade will polish your heart very well, not impatient, very good, this is."
But before the old man's words were finished, Higashinohara scratched his eyebrows embarrassedly and interrupted, "That. Headmaster, actually. It's that I haven't thought too much about it. β
Principal Kyogoku Kawasui was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Didn't think too much about it?" β
"Hmm."
Higashinohara nodded and said seriously, "I haven't thought too much about it yet. Do you want to join this exchange team? β
In the classroom,There are a lot of people with sharp ears around who hear Higashinohara's answer,Their faces couldn't help but show a look of surprise and surprise.,This is a key training that many people in the Takehara South Private School Park can't envy!
Who would hesitate?!
