Unlike the former Wano Country Takehara South Private School Park, the Stafford Private Great Sword School only has one big class in the morning.

It was almost 11:30 p.m. when the long bell finally echoed in the huge campus.

Hearing the bell for the end of class as scheduled, everyone in the lecture hall who was listening, playing with their mobile phones, and napping woke up like a blessing.

Everyone politely stood up and bowed goodbye to the gray-haired scholarly old man in front of the blackboard, and then rushed out of the classroom.

The old professor threw half of the chalk in his hand into the chalk box, smiled and nodded to everyone, turned around and wiped the chalk words on the blackboard with one hand in his coat pocket.

The old man is not a capable person, but he has been engaged in theoretical research all his life, and he does not care about the classmates who sleep in class, and he will not deny their excellence because of this.

This is a special school of ability.。

Not everyone has the patience to bury their heads in the boring "Introduction to Speed" for a lifetime like him.

In fact,Most of the students in the school park prefer to understand and improve themselves from actual combat than theoretical research.,This is also a more common path.。

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

There's no way, if the ability wants to work hard to improve his ability level from theoretical research, it's almost like sitting and watching a waterfall and have an epiphany overnight, which really requires understanding and talent...

......

As the students in the lecture hall poured out, the old professor was still concentrating on wiping the blackboard, the dust of chalk ash was pressed by him with the blackboard eraser skillfully, but the corner of his eye noticed that there was a figure standing behind him at some point.

The other party stood quietly behind him and waited, until he finished wiping the blackboard, turned around and put down the blackboard eraser, and then said without hurry:

"Hello, Professor Albert."

"Hello, a new face." The old professor turned around and said with a smile.

"Actually, I'm an exchange student who just enrolled yesterday." Higashinohara smiled shyly and said straight to the point, "I have a question for you about the Introduction to Speed that you just taught. ”

"Oh?" The old professor laughed, and said a little funny, "I didn't expect that there would be students in this school park who would be interested in the "Introduction to Speed" I wrote, if you have any questions, you might as well talk about it. ”

That book was written by him?

This Higashinohara didn't pay much attention.

However, he still raised his doubts, "You just mentioned in class that even ordinary time can stir up a lot of interesting 'waves', and when certain conditions are met, we can even 'swim against the current' to watch these waves again." ”

Hearing what Higashinohara said, the old professor's face suddenly showed an interesting look, "What? Are you also interested in my 'countercurrent' hypothesis? ”

"Is it just hypothetical?" Higashinohara was slightly stunned.

"It's not just hypothetical, of course." The old professor smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "It's just that so far, there is no speedy person in the Stafford Private Academy who can verify my theory, so it can only be a hypothesis." ”

Hearing this, Higashinohara nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Then you can take the liberty of asking, what is the premise of your 'countercurrent' hypothesis?" ”

"Looks like you're genuinely interested."

The old professor did not answer directly, but said with a smile, "We all know that speed depends on movement, but movement is relative, you stand by the long river and watch the waves stirred up by the river flow eastward are gone, but when your speed is fast enough, you can chase this wave and quietly appreciate its beauty, I call it 'wave chaser'." ”

"The man who chases the waves." Higashinohara frowned slightly after speaking, "But the waves will always disappear." ”

The old professor nodded and said approvingly, "Yes, but your enemies will not disappear, and when the enemy appears at the location of that wave, the 'Wave Chaser' can attack the enemy through that wave as he pleases."

Therefore, the necessary condition of the 'counter-current' theory is that you need to have a wave of your own in the long river of time. ”

Higashinohara couldn't help frowning when he heard this, frowned and thought for a few seconds, then looked up at the old professor, "And then... Turn back the clock? ”

"No, no, no."

The old professor shook his head and explained seriously, "Time is always a long river that never returns, maybe there is some great existence that can turn it back, but the 'countercurrent' theory can go backwards... It's always yourself, not time. ”

Picking up the briefcase on the podium, before leaving, the old professor gently tapped his forehead with his fingers,

With a chuckle, he said:

"Remember, as a speed-based ability, time isn't about how much you have, it's about how you use it.

”

Looking at the back of the old professor, Higashinohara chewed the word "countercurrent" repeatedly, and the corners of his lips finally showed a slight smile.

After comprehending the real speed-based realm [Phantom Sakura Killing Chaos], Higashinohara's agility attribute gradually increased to 87 points, and he began to think about his own "rules".

At the moment, although Higashinohara has the "unlimited rules" of dual compound abilities [Candlelight Dragon].

But after all, that's just an "abnormal" experience card with a huge temporary agility attribute bonus, and Higashinohara has never really had his own speed system "rules" like [Phantom Sakura Killing Chaos].

Previously, his mind was thinking about the [rules] rather chaotic, and he always felt that there was a layer of window paper through it.

It's hazy and hazy, and it's hard to see.

Unexpectedly, after finishing out the people of the Adjudication Department today, I walked into the Academy of Speed and overheard the words of Professor Albert, who had studied the "Introduction to Speed" by the first time.

Higashinohara had a feeling of poking open the window paper, as if the chaotic thoughts in his mind were neatly arranged all at once.

It was as if a door had finally appeared in front of me.

And the rest of the time...

All he had to do was push open the door.

Thinking of this, Higashinohara squinted slightly and looked at the bright sun outside the classroom, and it was rare to have a little refreshment in his heart.

......

"Damn it!"

Stafford Private Greatsword Academy.

The bearded middle-aged inquisitor Mitheus appeared near the East Gate at some point, and swept the corpses of his subordinates from the sewers near the East Gate.

suddenly

He felt the sunlight above him glare a little.

Almost every corpse was cut in the throat with a knife, and the slash was completed neatly!

In an instant, the lazy look on Inquisitor Mitheus's face was completely gone, and it was replaced by an endless gloom.

Even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could guess the situation in his mind through the fatal wound on the neck of these subordinates and the black-robed executive captain Simpson on the neck.

The white miasma-like fog filled the air, obscuring everything visible, and in an instant, the warm and viscous scarlet liquid melted into the mist, and the fragile bodies fell one after another as if they had been cut grass...

Whoever can do all this, even without the last call, Inquisitor Mitheus can easily deduce the identity of the other party based on the clues at the scene...

That's right!

That was the commander of the Southern Army of the Dawn Revolutionary Army.

Fog Ghost, Charles. Forest.

It's a sense of smell from a top inquisitor!

At this time, the deputy captain of a black-robed execution team beside him ran over quickly, bent down and said nervously:

"My lord, this morning we have sealed a total of 108 streets in the four major administrative districts of Mae Ji Province and brought back nearly 1,000 suspicious people.

"Go on! Go ahead, of course! ”

Mitheus squinted slightly, and said without thinking, "The detention center can't live, so let them set up a tent outside the police station, there are always more ways than difficulties, what I want is... Clean sweep. ”

The deputy captain of the black-robed execution team hesitated, cautiously glanced at the face of the judge who came to Beijing, and still lowered his voice and said carefully:

"But this morning's action has touched the property of many of the powerful members of the Mae Province, and we have received a lot of 'quite complaining' phone calls, and if we continue to carry out such a carpet search, my subordinates are worried that those politicians and parliamentarians will be dissatisfied."

"Quite a complaint? Disgruntled? Inquisitor Mitheus chewed on these two words.

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth showed a smile mixed with coldness, and he turned his head to look at the deputy captain of the black-robed executive team stationed in Meji Mansion, and asked in a surging tone, "Then what do you think... What did Mistress Alita and I come to you for? ”

The deputy captain of the black-robed enforcement team was stunned for a moment, and his face showed a little dazed.

The upper Kyoto city circle is only separated by a river from the Meiji Mansion, and the big people above come down to inspect the inspection work, and he is a small deputy leader of the executive team, who has no chance to understand the deep insider.

"When the mind is calm, everyone is a good person, and everyone is a good citizen and loyal servant of the world government."

Inquisitor Mitheus said with a smirk, "It's only when they touch their cake that these self-proclaimed high-class humans reveal their true colors, and that's what we and Lord Alita are here for..."

Speaking of this, Inquisitor Mitheus squinted slightly and muttered for a moment, a slight smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Speaking of which, we still have to thank the people of the Dawn Revolutionary Army for doing something to Captain Simpson of your execution team, if it weren't for that, I'd have to go to the trouble of finding a legitimate reason to go berserk, but now... Apparently there is. ”

The deputy captain of the black-robed execution team couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart when he heard this, and inexplicably felt a little "sad for the rabbit and the fox", and quickly lowered his head to hide the emotions on his face.

But at this moment, another person from the rear came running quickly, approached and bowed slightly behind the inquisitor Mitheus, and handed over a delicate invitation with both hands.

"Mistress Mitheus, Councilor Kenneth has sent an invitation to the Adjurious Division, tomorrow night is her daughter's tenth birthday dinner, and I hope you will enjoy it tomorrow night."

"Oh? Birthday dinner? ”

Mitheus took the invitation casually, glanced at it, and then muttered for two seconds, then suddenly laughed, and said to himself:

"These powerful parliamentarians in Meji Province have always avoided our people who came to Beijing, and this time they will take the initiative to send me an invitation, and it seems that this morning's search and arrest operation has indeed moved the interests of many people, so that they have to elect a person to negotiate with me."

At this point, the smile on the corner of Inquisitor Mitheus's mouth suddenly turned into a sneering sneer.

"But... On what basis does the Lamb negotiate with the shepherd? Is it the prosperity of the United States of Tagos that has made these humans forget who they are? ”

"Then this invitation...", the subordinate asked hesitantly.

"Tell him that Mistress Alita and I will arrive on time." Inquisitor Mitheus smiled silently, the corners of his mouth splitting into a somewhat crazy arc.

"I'm looking forward to seeing if these humans will jump out when they find that their demands can't be met. In that case, perhaps our mission to Tagos will be completed sooner..."

"Yes!" The subordinate immediately said.

At this time, the deputy leader of the black-robed execution team who was standing quietly on the side said, "Lord Mitheus, if our focus now shifts to the search for the Dawn Revolutionary Army, then the pursuit of the woman who escaped from the dungeon ......"

"Have you ever seen anyone who escaped from the Judgment Dungeon for more than three days unharmed?"

Inquisitor Mitheus suddenly asked rhetorically.

"Uh... It seems like... Haven't seen it. The vice-captain swallowed.

"Good."

Inquisitor Mitheus smiled and patted him on the shoulder, took a deep look at the lakeside school, turned around and said before leaving:

"Then I hope,

Never appear in the future. ”

The black-robed executive captain suddenly felt a thrill in his heart, understood the deadline given to him by the man, and hurriedly said loudly:

"Yes!"

......

"Have you been stopped by someone from the Adjudication Division in the morning?"

Twelve o'clock at noon, Stafford's Restaurant.

As soon as Higashinohara walked back with the dinner plate, he heard the "Forcing King" Si Boyou on the table in front of him say to the people sitting around him with a solemn face.

There was a familiar little fat man with glasses biting the mutton in his mouth, and when he looked up and saw Higashinohara, he hurriedly waved to him with a leg of mutton in his hand, and it could be seen that he was still very satisfied with Stafford's food.

Si Bo Yu, who had a medium-rare Wellington steak in front of him, also raised his head when he saw this, and he also saw Higashinohara coming with a plate.

Maybe it was because of the friendship with the bucket of instant noodles in the dormitory late last night that Si Boyu's hostility towards Higashinohara stealing the limelight from their brother and sister in Takehara Minami was a little stronger, and he also nodded towards Higashinohara with a very reserved smile.

Higashino originally wanted to find a place to eat lunch alone and think about his feelings about this class in the morning, but he saw that several people in Takehara Minami's group were basically there except for Kaguya in Phoenix Temple.

After a moment's hesitation, he also walked over with a plate and sat down at the edge of the table.

"Was Higashino-kun blocked by someone from the Adjudication Division in the morning?" The little fat man with glasses asked after swallowing the mutton in his mouth.

Most of the exchange students are not from the same department, and they are separated when they leave the dormitory in the morning.

"Uh... I happened to meet someone from the student council who helped me say a few words. Higashinohara said truthfully.

"Wouldn't it? Gee... It's the top school in the world.,Even the people of the student council can talk in front of the people of the adjudication department.。 ”

The little fat man with glasses sighed with emotion.

"Heh... After all, it's not that people's countries are strong enough. Someone suddenly said indignantly.

As soon as these words came out,

The air around them fell silent for a moment.

There is no harm without contrast.

In Wano Country, which is located in a remote corner of the East China Sea, let alone the student union, even the members of the Diet may not be able to say a few words in front of the ruling department, and people will not sell this face at all.

"That's why the headmaster sent us here."

Si Boyou said in a leisurely tone, and after a pause, he continued, "Actually, the 'spark' sent by Wano Country this time is not only our students of Minami Takehara, the 'four university parks' of New Tokyo each have a group of people with outstanding abilities who have been sent to the top schools in the United States of Tagos and the San Maro Empire. ”

Suddenly, the little fat man seemed to think of something when he heard this, and sighed and said, "That being said, I just don't know if Wano Country was really kicked out of the Allied Powers after the World Conference in June, and how many people would be willing to return to Wano Country to rebuild this country after the school year is over." ”

"What do you mean. I'm definitely going back anyway. Sister Si Boqiong immediately raised her eyebrows and said.

"Hmph, don't talk so much, it may not be necessary then." Someone retorted.

"Not necessarily you, right?"

"You just believe in yourself.?"

“......”

Seeing that the young and vigorous two were about to quarrel.

Si Boyou on the side frowned slightly, and immediately scolded, "Don't argue, if we don't succeed in this school year, what can we do if we go back then?" To be a slave to the country? Now that you have to quarrel, you might as well think about how to improve yourself. ”

Suddenly, Si Boyou looked at Higashinohara and asked casually, "Has Higashino-san considered joining the 'Three Conferences' of Stafford Academy?" ”

Seriously speaking, among the seven people in the Takehara Minami exchange program this time, except for his sister Si Boqiong and Kaguya of Phoenix Temple, only Higashinohara among the boys can give Si Bo Yugao a look.

Higashinohara, who was bowing his head and thinking about when he was going to visit Councilor Kenneth this afternoon, raised his head when he had fulfilled Tokugawa Chesturito's commission.

After coming back to his senses and realizing what the other party had just said, he asked, "Three big meetings?" Oh... Do you mean the student unions? ”

"That's right, my plan is to strive to join the [Mithril Society] of the Academy, a veteran club of Stafford, with a long history comparable to the history of the Stafu School, everyone in the club is the elite of this academy, if I can join, I think it will not only improve my personal ability, but also lay a foundation of contacts in the United States of Tagos."

Si Bo slowly said his intentions and sat up straight in reserve, trying to catch some surprise in Higashinohara's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Higashinohara still looked excited, as if he heard him say that he ate a bucket of "Mithril" flavored instant noodles last night, just a simple "oh".

Si Boyou's face suddenly froze.

What is this development?

Shouldn't normal people deduce from their own descriptions that it must be difficult to join the "Mithril Society" in this cradle of elites, and then marvel at their determination and confidence?

Bastard!

That's the Mithril Society!

It's not Mithril flavored instant noodles!

But yes, everyone has just arrived, and maybe he doesn't know what the "Mithril Society" is......

Si Boyou was so relieved in his heart, he cut a steak in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, but Higashinohara's next sentence suddenly choked him.

"Coincidentally, I'm planning to join the Mithril Society too."

The tone of the flat voice was like saying... Coincidentally, I also ate a bucket of "Mithril" flavored instant noodles last night.

Wang Sibo quietly glanced at the remaining steaks on the plate, closed his eyes a little dejectedly, and sighed faintly in his heart and thought:

Later this in front of this man...

This forced...

Don't pretend.

.....。
