Chapter 132 Follow-up to the White Jade Square Incident (2 in 1)
Chapter 132 The aftermath of the Baiyu Square Incident (2-in-1)
Higashinohara had also heard about the sister colleges in Kyoto after joining the school.
It is said that it was Kyoto Takehara Minami Private Academy, the predecessor of New Tokyo Takehara Minami Private Academy. Later, there was a fierce conflict over the school management philosophy of the school board.
One party actively wants to cooperate with the Wano government and cultivate outstanding capable people to actively participate in government work as much as possible to change the world; the other party believes that cooperation with the Wano Celestial Government is tantamount to indirectly helping the world government to cause trouble. It is not as good as
Strengthen the strength of the academy and provide as favorable conditions as possible to keep outstanding superpowers in the academy, forming a healthy development that continues to expand in scale.
After the two sides held several meetings but failed to reach a consensus, the school directors, who adhered to the common idea of joining the government, moved to New Tokyo after the equity redistribution of the academy to raise funds to re-open the school. This is how the current New Tokyo Takehara Minami Private School came to be.
Academy.
As for the "exchange meeting" between brother schools, the two schools in New Tokyo and Kyoto will have one every three years, and it has now become a customary event.
And this kind of "exchange meeting" is essentially a secret competition between the two fraternal schools of New Tokyo and Kyoto. After all, no one could convince the other at the beginning, so let's use the most obvious strength to prove who is the most talented after all these years.
is on the “right path”.
It's a pity that after so many years of fighting, no one has been able to win. The tradition of the exchange meeting has been passed down.
Higashinohara listened to Tachigawa Asuka's introduction to the exchange meeting. The first grade will also hold a selection competition to select five outstanding junior students to exchange with the junior students in Kyoto Takehara Minami.
He had little interest in it.
At present, Higashinohara's agility attribute under normal conditions is 47.8. When converted into speed, the ability level of [Shadow Instant] is almost level 4 and level 4. Basically, he is close to reaching the ability that the ordinary gray ability of Talent Sequence 98 [Shadow Instant] can achieve.
The ceiling is leveled.
You know, in the cases recorded in history, there has never been a superpower who upgraded [Shadow Instant] to the fifth level.
Although he didn't know how deep the water in Kyoto's brother schools was, the competition in the lower grades was definitely not like that in the upper grades. A fourth-level genius super user who was 17 or 18 years old could appear at every turn. For first-year students,
It is said that being able to reach the third level is considered a gift.
His current strength is not enough to participate in the exchange meeting of senior students. It is really unfair to the geniuses from brother schools to participate in the exchange meeting of lower grades.
But there's nothing to be proud of. Don't forget, Higashinohara is a "three-war veteran" of Takehara Minami Private Academy. He has already repeated the grade for two years.
Tachigawa Asuka also made an official announcement today. Today is only January 24th. People from Kyoto's brother schools will first come to the academy to inspect it, so that everyone can meet in the academy and try to provide some friendly help such as guidance.
There is still almost a week left for the formal exchange meeting, so there is no need to rush at the moment. After Tatagawa Asuka finished speaking, there was nothing more to say and continued with today's morning meeting.
After the morning meeting, as soon as Tadokawa Asuka left the classroom, everyone started buzzing with discussion. Some people were discussing the upcoming exchange meeting, but naturally more people were paying attention to the explosive incident that happened yesterday on the birthday of the Emperor of the Imperial Palace.
Since last night, the major TV stations in Wano have been reporting overwhelmingly that an assassination occurred in the White Jade Square in front of the East Courtyard of the Palace. This incident is also known as the "White Jade Square Incident".
As of today, Captain Dragonfly, wearing a dark golden mask, has once again been thrust into the limelight and attracted the attention of many other countries on the mainland.
After all, when Councilor Hope died, Hope only represented the power of his new party in the House of Lords of Celestial Beings, and his death may only be related to the face of Celestial Beings.
Xihai Tiago and Murphy, who were sent later, were all the secret chessmen behind the Nine Celestials. If they died, they would be dead. There was no way they could speak out on the table.
Unless something happens to Inquisitor Mick Gioia.
However, no one expected that nothing happened to the judge Mick Gioia, but the Eleventh Judgment secretly dispatched by the Adjudication Department, Marcus Rhine, died in the turmoil on the Emperor's birthday.
First he was a member of the Heavenly House of Lords, and within a month he was the eleventh judge of the Judgment Division. This was an unprecedented situation since the turmoil in the Grand Duchy of Shayash eight years ago. Many people from other countries saw this.
The first reaction to the news was:
What kind of dragon pond and tiger den is this in Wano Country?
Moreover, this time the "White Jade Square Incident" not only caused the Adjudication Division to lose the valuable strategic resources of an eighth-level demigod-level ability user, but also severely damaged their majesty and face.
There was a time when the Adjudication Division was almost synonymous with terror.
The Adjudication Division stationed in various countries around the world goes to the local police to handle people. Even if the strength of the Inquisitor is not as good as others, others will endure it because they know how terrifying the Judgment Division is behind these people, a behemoth lurking in the shadows!
That is an existence that must not be messed with!
But now, the eleventh judge of the Adjudication Division has been killed by a man wearing a mask in the country of Wano. This is tantamount to a public slap in the Adjudicator's face!
If it cannot be resolved quickly with thunderous means, the deterrent power of the Adjudication Division in various countries around the world will be greatly reduced from now on, which is undoubtedly what the Adjudication Division does not want to see.
Therefore, this time is different from the time when Representative Hope was killed. It touches on the fundamentals. The Judgment Division and the World Government put considerable pressure on Wano.
Although the current Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Yuya Tatsumi, was deeply concerned about the death of Foreign Minister Taku Amuro, he wished he could personally award Captain Dragonfly with the medal of "Walking for Heaven" and "Messenger of Justice".
However, under the tremendous pressure from the World Government and the Judgment Division, Hao Jinyu had to calmly characterize Captain Dragonfly as a "social terrorist high-risk element" in his televised speech last night.
In a televised speech, he also deeply expressed his condolences for the passing of Judge Rhine, and assured that the New Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department would cooperate with the special investigation team to arrest the outlaw Captain Dragonfly as soon as possible.
Several internal departments, including the National Security Council and the Cyber Security Administration, also worked together to quickly control the direction of online public opinion through methods including but not limited to deleting posts, banning people, and "checking water meters."
As of this morning, the "Captain Dragonfly is not guilty" argument has basically disappeared from the Internet. At most, it only exists in whispers after people meet occasionally on their way to work and school.
Just like in the classroom of Class F in the first year right now
Most of these young students who were whispering among each other were at the scene yesterday and experienced first-hand the many accusations made by Captain Dragonfly on the balcony against those politicians and congressmen, especially since many of the charges were traceable. Faced with the injustice of the government, they naturally felt in their hearts
Angry.
"Dongye, were you scared yesterday?"
Suddenly, Yuuto Aida, who was in the back seat, pushed Higashinohara and said with a smile, "I heard someone said that your face turned pale when you got back to the car. I didn't expect you to be so timid."
Higashinohara didn't ask who said it, but thinking about yesterday's situation, he didn't look very good at the time, and he couldn't get better. It was a sign of strong willpower that he didn't faint on the spot.
So he smiled and didn't explain much.
Aida Yuuto himself looked frightened. He patted Higashinohara's shoulder with understanding and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. To be honest, I probably couldn't stand that kind of scene. Alas. I just don't know what Captain Dragonfly is doing this time.
Can we avoid this disaster this time?"
"What's wrong?"
Higashinohara turned around and asked.
Yuuto Aida gave full play to his know-it-all spirit, and approached Higashinohara thiefly and said, "I saw in the news that the T3 terminal of Haneda Airport was closed last night, and there were a lot of black cars driving out from the Chiyoda District Assembly Building. I guess it was
Some big shot from the Adjudication Department is coming."
"Big shot?"
Dong Yeyuan's heart moved slightly.
It was a matter of personal concern, so he had to serve some snacks, so he asked, "How big is it?"
Aida Yuuto was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Higashinohara to ask such a question. How could a high school student like him come into contact with that kind of level? He could only say nonchalantly:
"This one should be quite big, but Captain Dragonfly can even kill an Adjudicator. The person coming this time is probably an Adjudicator, maybe one of the top ones."
"Is there a big difference in strength between the rankings of the adjudicators?" Higashinohara asked again.
"of course!"
Aida Yuuto knew this quite well and said enthusiastically, "The Adjudication Division is a law enforcement agency directly under the World Government. The ranking of the twelve Adjudicators in the past is based on their strength. It is said that the twelve Adjudicators are divided into four levels.
, when encountering an emergency, the level of the incident will be assessed first, and then adjudicators of different levels will be dispatched to resolve it."
Having said this, he suddenly paused.
Seeing this, Higashinohara said helplessly, "Although I haven't washed my ears, I can still hear them."
Aida Yuuto was stunned for a moment, not sure what the joke was, but he stopped trying to keep it secret and continued with a smile, "These are top-secret information on a secret website. Don't go out and talk nonsense. It is said that within the Judgment Division,
The second and third adjudicators are [SSS-level adjudicators], the fourth to sixth are [S-level adjudicators], the seventh to tenth are [A-level adjudicators], and the remaining two are [B-level adjudicators]
Level Judge], the ranking of the Judge in each level is also determined by strength."
"Tsk, tsk, B-level adjudicator was killed, you said. At least the one who came this time must be an A-level adjudicator, right?"
Higashinohara didn't know which secret website Aida Yuuto's information came from. It was not reliable, but it was consistent with the style of a violent organization like the Judgment Division. Hearing this, he couldn't help but fall into thinking.
He can understand this kind of grading. Ability levels do not represent actual combat power.
Just like the [Listen] controlled by Nishimaru Miria, although the talent sequence ranks 28th, it is actually an auxiliary ability. No matter how high the level is, it cannot be fully converted into actual combat power.
And after the incident on Rising Sun Island last year, Higashinohara became more aware that the gap existed not only between superpower users and absolute power users, but also between seventh-level and seventh-level people.
The same is true for fields and rules. The fields and rules in which the same sequence of innate abilities are born may be completely different in the hands of different controllers.
Otherwise, the judge named Adams Carr of the Adjudication Department would not have dismissed the pirates in the East China Sea at the execution ground of Rising Sun Island, shouting, "Not every seventh-level person who controls the field can be called absolute power."
That's the word.
What the other party said was true, but it was a pity that he met the general of the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates - that man left a very deep impression on Higashinohara, and he felt that he had not tried his best at that time.
I heard that the judge named "Adams Carr" of the Adjudication Department is still chasing him at sea. I don't know what's going on now.
Higashinohara was thinking about this when he suddenly noticed something. He couldn't help turning his head and looked at Higashinohara and said, "Did you miss something just now?"
"What?" Aida Yuuto was stunned.
"Where is the First Adjudicator?" Higashinohara said.
Aida Yuto immediately became happy when he heard this. He smiled and shook his head and said, "Oh, you are talking about that old monster. I heard that he lived to be almost ninety years old, but what he said is nothing."
"What do you mean, no level?" Higashinohara couldn't help but frown slightly.
Now, with his other identity, he has completely reached the opposite position of the World Government. Unsurprisingly, those in the Judgment Division are his biggest enemies on the surface. Naturally, he needs to know as much as possible about his enemies.
Aida Yongto spread his hands and lowered his voice and said, "It is said that the old monster of the first adjudicator last took action sixty years ago. Sixty years ago, he was at the peak of the eighth level. At that time, I heard that he was still the second adjudicator. After completing that
During the first mission, the First Adjudicator died in the line of duty. He was promoted to the First Adjudicator after the war. The person in charge of the Adjudicator has never taken action since then."
The peak of the eighth level sixty years ago?
Dong Yeyuan's heart couldn't help but sink slightly.
There are nine levels and five levels of ability users.
Above the seventh level, there is a section of the mountain.
The last time Higashinohara faced off against the Eleventh Judgment Master Marcus Rhine, the Sin Manual detected that the opponent's strength was level 8 and 3. If he hadn't temporarily comprehended the [Quicksand Scale] time-based composite ability
, I’m afraid there is no possibility of survival at all.
Because of this, it was really hard for Higashinohara to imagine what would happen if he encountered the First Judge who reached the peak of the eighth level sixty years ago.
Thinking of this, Higashinohara's high-spirited mentality after killing Markas Rhine calmed down. It seemed that he still had to endure.
Even though there is still room for development of [Quicksand Scale], his current agility attribute does not seem to be enough to support him in entering the new "Sands of Time". He is also worried that his current physique will trigger the moment he sets foot in that field.
The critical value of "Guilty Manual" protects you from passing out.
It’s a long road, and it seems that I still have to have “Gou” as my companion.
Yuuto Aida has a secret interest group for ability users on the Internet. He specializes in collecting anecdotes about celebrities among these top ability users. He also wants to show off in front of Higashinohara.
Unfortunately, after the morning meeting, the Chinese teacher of the first period had already entered the classroom. He could only shrink his head and return to his seat, leaving Higashinohara alone in silence.
At the same time, when Higashinohara started his first class.
At the entrance of Takehara Minami Private Academy, seven school directors gathered together. The heads of various departments in the academy lined up behind them. Standing at the front was still the handsome old man with silver-white hair.
The principal of Takehara Minami Private Academy.
Kyogoku River water.
A row of black motorcades appeared on the horizon of the road in the distance, slowly driving towards Takehara Minami Private Academy in the morning light, with reserved smiles on everyone's faces.
After a while, the convoy came to a stop, and the back seat door of the front car opened.
A middle-aged man wearing a navy blue kendo uniform, a hakama with a traditional pattern from Wano Country, and a pair of wooden geta under his feet, who looked unusually tall and tall, stepped down.
He has a mustache at the corner of his mouth and an ancient sword hanging from his waist. The expression on his face seems to be twisted together all the time. His face looks very serious, giving people a feeling that he is not easy to get along with.
The visitor is the leader of this exchange meeting from Kyoto's fraternal schools, and the current master of Kyoto's former genius swordsman "Weishin Itto-ryu".
Taogong is coming.
Principal Kyogoku Kawamizu stepped forward with a smile, and spoke with a venomous tongue. He looked at Momomiya Izaya with a smile and said, "Long time no see, Momotiya-san. After you lost the exchange meeting three years ago, I thought
With your temperament, you will never set foot in New Tokyo again in this lifetime. I didn't expect to see you again so soon. It's really sad to think about it."
Facing Kyogoku Kawamizu's emotion, the new generation of students from Kyoto Takehara Minami Private Academy who got off the bus behind Momotiya Izaya couldn't help but change their expressions slightly after hearing this.
Before setting off to New Tokyo this time, they had more or less heard from the seniors who had participated in the exchange meeting in the previous session and were now working in the school, saying that the young old man from the sister school in New Tokyo looked elegant and easy-going.
The principal is very good at "breathing fragrance", so don't take it seriously.
After all, you can't beat him, you can only make yourself angry.
This is very helpless and very realistic.
However, the students from Kyoto's brother schools behind them looked slightly angry, but Momomiya Izaya standing in front did not change his expression. He was tall and tall, and he gently raised his hand and pressed it on the Kyoto's supreme sharp sword, the Twelve Knife, on his waist.
In [The Lion King], there are a few wisps of black energy that are difficult to detect with the naked eye and overflow from behind the blade.
The sight in his eyes was staring at the Kyogoku River, and he seemed to see a place further away
Inexplicably, Momomiya Izaya's mind once again recalled that rainy night ten years ago, that heavenly disciple who worshiped the Weishin Ittōryu and then killed his master and broke out.
After a moment, he retracted his wandering thoughts and said calmly, "I disappoint you. I have a reason to come this time."
Kyogoku Chuansui's face changed slightly when he heard this.
He silently stared at the old friend in front of him who had known him for many years, and sighed silently in his heart.
Hatred is the best catalyst for strength.
It is also the most incurable poison.
It’s almost the end of the month, so I still have to ask for tickets~
