Chapter 172 Counterattack, the first active attack! (3)
The shadows bloom like black mandala flowers floating in the air, representing the unpredictable darkness and death. One, two, three, four.
Four strands of shadow suddenly intertwined crazily.
Unknowingly.
The instant prison shadow killing array has taken shape.
hiss-!
The examination room of Takehara Minami Private Academy.
In fact, when I saw four dark shadows emerging in the air.
Not only the surrounding students who were nervously waiting for the assessment had their eyes widened, but even the three examiners sitting on the edge of the venue had expressions of astonishment on their faces.
As we all know, different abilities at different levels have different manifestations of vision.
Shadow Instant is a gray ordinary ability with talent sequence 98. When it reaches the highest level of level 4, it can condense four shadows at the same time to form an instant prison shadow killing array.
That means that the handsome boy in front of him now has the strength of a fourth-level superpower.
Thinking of the other party's application to skip a grade, the three examiners suddenly felt enlightened.
"No wonder, but I didn't expect him to reach the fourth level."
"I heard that I am a repeater from Class F in my first year."
"Didn't you recognize it? He is the student who won the five-consecutive 'fighting reward' at the exchange meeting."
"Oh, it's him?! Tsk, there's no such thing as a blockbuster, he's just a late bloomer!"
"."
The three examiners looked in admiration and expressed their admiration. They quickly gave Higashinohara a fourth-level rating in the ability level assessment. When Higashinohara came over, they all stood up and shook hands to congratulate him.
I don’t know who took the lead, but the other students in Class F of the first year around them also applauded. After all, there are people in the repeater class who are so showy, and their faces are proud of it.
Of course, not everyone wishes good things to others.
Sagi Hikaru, who was taught a lesson by Higashinohara in the practical class last year, originally secretly determined to wait until the second grade for the two of them to be in the same class, so that sooner or later they would be able to regain their place.
Unexpectedly, I skipped a grade.
In the corner of the examination room, Samu Guang snorted and said angrily, "Why are you so proud? The fourth level of Ying Shun's rubbish ability has come to an end."
Among the two followers next to him, one of the bad guys nodded repeatedly and said without any discouragement, "That's right, come on, Brother Zuomu. When we catch up, we must teach him a lesson."
Unexpectedly, another bad guy hesitated for a moment and suddenly said, "Do you think there is a possibility that by the time we reach the fourth level, that kid will have already graduated?"
Hearing this, Sagi Hikaru was stunned.
After a while, there was a sound of beating and scolding from the corner, "You are the only one who is smart about riding a horse."
After passing the ability level test amidst many voices of admiration and envy, Higashinohara left the examination room. Next, he would go to another examination room to conduct practical tests with high-precision equipment and professional teachers to determine his rank.
Tested.
About half an hour later
Higashinohara walked out of the examination room with an academic test card. The strength rating on it was Stage 4 and Stage 1, which meant that he had now entered the ranks of a fourth-level superpower. The ability level test for schools like Takehara Minami was still
It has a certain value and is generally recognized by society.
Of course, you can also go to an official professional proficiency testing agency for a more professional and authoritative assessment. The proficiency testing there is generally recognized by society, but you only need to pay for it at your own expense.
Naturally, Higashinohara had no such plan.
In fact, he was a little more restrained in today's test. Otherwise, with Higashinohara's current comprehensive strength of strength, agility, and physique that complement each other, it would be hard to say that he would meet a sixth-level peak superpower.
But below level six, he basically doesn't have to be afraid anymore.
It's just that this is fine. People are envious, jealous, and even worshipful of an "excellent" person of the same kind, but their attitude towards "weird" people may be a bit complicated.
After leaving the examination room, Higashinohara found a classroom and waited for Miria Nishimaru who had not yet finished the exam.
The time was ten o'clock in the morning, the spring light outside the window was just right, and the gentle breeze was like a girl's hand caressing her face. Higashinohara squinted his eyes slightly, and suddenly there was a row of gunfire from the TV in front of the classroom.
NHK's live news channel.
The square in front of the Imperial Palace was solemn.
A member of the Imperial Household of Wano, the Minister of General Affairs of the Cabinet, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
No matter what thoughts they held in their hearts, countless members of the Metropolitan Police Department wearing dark clothing and those in formal attire were all standing in the auditorium with solemn faces, staring straight ahead.
Down the steps ahead.
A middle-aged congressman with a thin build, a tough face, thick lips and calluses on his hands who looked nothing like a politician slowly walked onto the oath-taking platform in the center of the square.
Bang bang bang—!
There was a burst of applause from all around.
Every big shot at the scene had a happy smile on their face, either sincerely or hypocritically, but not far away from the large square outside the Imperial Palace, there were many excited shouts from the people. There was nothing in this excitement.
camouflage.
Because the congressman in front of them who is about to take office as Prime Minister is a Prime Minister they personally selected!
He is a rare prime minister in the political arena dominated by the Wano chaebol family who has no background and has risen from the bottom of society!
He is a people’s prime minister!
On the oath-taking platform, Dongsen Gu quietly watched the congressmen with different expressions in the audience. There was no tremor on his sculpted and determined face, and he vigorously raised his pair of glasses that were as generous as most ordinary people.
Palm, said in an extremely loud voice:
"My victory is a victory for each of you. I will take up the post of Prime Minister of the 77th Cabinet with the will and hope of every people! I will also devote all my efforts to fighting to safeguard the rights of every person and create a beautiful future."
A prosperous and peaceful country will be passed on to the next generation."
"My notebook is filled with the urgent wishes of the people."
"Men wandering on the streets, students suffering from school violence, juniors who are excluded and suppressed in the workplace, housewives suffering from domestic violence by their husbands, of course, there are more than these, far more than these, but I will promote the amendment of the bill to provide for everyone who suffers from violence.
Fight against those who are treated unfairly.”
After hearing the impassioned speech of the new prime minister, the members of Congress and cabinet ministers in the auditorium all looked at their noses and hearts without much expression, and they were indifferent to it in their hearts.
As politicians, they know very well that politicians' words are worth less than toilet paper.
However, the words of the new Prime Minister Higashikata Higashikata were as shocking as the words of the new Prime Minister. It can be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves.
"But at this moment, our most urgent and priority thing is to seek justice for those innocent people who suffered a bloody massacre by the Adjudication Division on the night of January 31st! That is not a series of cold numbers! It is countless victims.
Living life!"
"They don't deserve to die, at least not there!"
"I have reservations about the sacrifices mentioned in the internal self-examination report of the Arbitration Department that were caused by self-defense. I have solemnly submitted an application for joint arbitration to the upper and lower houses of the World Government, requesting a thorough re-examination of what happened on that bloody night.
What!"
Dongsen Gu's face was extremely solemn, without any hint of joking.
However, the faces of every congressman and politician in the auditorium showed unprecedented shock. They stared at the tough figure on the oath stage with wide eyes and confusion, with expressions like "This guy is crazy" on their faces.
.
As for those cabinet ministers who have long-term cooperation with the Tianren Councilor and are involved in their own family interests, their faces are even more gloomy at this moment, and they can't help but curse in a low voice.
You know, Higashikata took office as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and represented the country of Wano in every word and deed.
The Celestial Beings in Beijing don’t care whether the rest of you are wearing the same pants as the newly-appointed Prime Minister. Once you anger the other party, it will be a question of whether the mutual benefit between them and the family behind them and the Celestial Being Councilors can continue.
.
However, it is only politicians, congressmen and cabinet ministers who are feeling panicked and angry at this moment.
In the square outside the Imperial Palace, people in Shin-Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and countless other places were watching the TV. The moment they heard Higashikata's words, they all started for a moment and then let out extremely enthusiastic cheers.
"Require arbitration! Must arbitrate!"
"We cannot let those innocent people die with their eyes open!"
"Their today! is our tomorrow!"
“Human life matters too!”
"Support Minister Dongsen!"
"."
The second to last row of the viewing platform.
Kimura Hakutaku, who holds an inconspicuous position among a group of politicians and cabinet ministers and is now officially the leader of the Third Investigation Team, looked at the scene in front of him with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
He shook his head gently and said incomprehensibly, "My mouth says no, but my body is very honest."
In a flash of thought, Kimura Hakutaku recalled the series of actions performed by the people from the Adjudication Division in Beijing after they completely sealed off the Sky Tree, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Unexpectedly, I caught two "big fish" during this fishing trip, and things became a little complicated.
But Kimura Hakutaku was not panicked.
Because there is no one,
He understands strange demons better than he does.
No one knows better than him what the big shots in Beijing are really afraid of.
Takehara Minami Private Academy.
After finishing the exam, Nishimaru Miria ran over quickly and rushed to Higashinohara's full dive on her short legs with great joy. She raised her little face and said excitedly, "Brother! I passed the exam!"
"Xiao Weili is awesome!"
Higashinohara smiled, gave a thumbs up, and touched Nishimaru Miria's head.
Although Nishimaru Miria's mature performance often makes people ignore her age, in fact, children her age are exactly when they need praise and encouragement.
As expected, Nishimaru Miria immediately narrowed her crescent-shaped smile after hearing Higashinohara's words, with a happy but embarrassed look on her little face.
But soon, her attention was attracted by the content on the TV not far from the front of the classroom. She stared at it carefully for a while, then suddenly blinked her big, flickering eyes, turned to look at Higashinohara and said excitedly, "
Big brother is right, it is indeed different! This country will definitely get better and better!"
Higashinohara was stunned for a while, then nodded, but he frowned slightly in his heart.
In the live broadcast of NHK TV news, every word spoken by the new Prime Minister Higashikata Mori seems to be from the perspective of the people, petitioning for the people against the injustice of heaven and man.
But you must know that any bottom-up change in this world is based on strength.
But his words that do not hesitate to provoke contradictions and such radical steps, in addition to gaining fanatical support from the public, can he really attract the attention of the world government?
Or can it change the injustice suffered by the people of Wano?
Or is it just to win enough public support and political capital in the political arena for myself who has just taken office?
The more Higashinohara thought about it, the more he couldn't help but frown. He quietly stared at the middle-aged man with a tough face on the oath-taking stage.
He hoped it was his own conspiracy theory.
Some think too much.
Before he said these words, the new Prime Minister Higashikata Higashikata had already made a plan that he didn't know about to face the World Government and the Judgment Division.
Not just shouting empty slogans.
Then let everything leave to time.
Higashinohara's character is destined not to be a person who cares about the country and the people. Moreover, his other identity is still wanted by the Wano Country official.
Normally, it would be something he would like to see if the country of Wano was completely separated one day.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
After the academic proficiency test of Takehara Minami Private Academy ends at the end of February, the spring break will begin tomorrow, which will last for about one month, and the next school year will start on April 1st.
About a week later, Higashinohara can get the transcripts of his cultural achievements and proficiency tests, as well as the notification of whether to advance to another school or repeat a grade in the next school year.
Higashinohara is not worried about this. The only thing he is worried about is Nishimaru Miria's academic performance. Although this little guy was specially recruited into Takehara Minami private academy, although he studies hard enough on weekdays, he is not Higashinohara after all.
In his previous life, he was the kind of evil genius who entered the University of Science and Technology of China in his teens.
At present, the high school courses are still a bit difficult for her. If the results of the cultural class this time are not up to standard, and the school does not have an online side, then Higashinohara will really have to find time to help this little girl in the next school year.
Guys, I need to take some extra lessons.
The next day, March 1st.
Chiyoda Ward, New Tokyo, Marunouchi is the area between the Imperial Palace Gardens and New Tokyo Station. The administrative area is divided into 1-chome to 3-chome. The official residence of the judge in New Tokyo is the gray-black building at 1-chome 2-26-5.
In a building that looks square and square in tone.
Higashinohara said hello to Nishimaru Miria and his aunt Coladia last night. Today he has to go away for something, which could be two or three days at the earliest or a week at the latest.
After hearing this, Kolodiya only told Dongye to be careful on the original road and take what he should take with him when going out;
Nishimaru Miria seemed to see something, but she was afraid that her elder brother would feel a burden, and she was nothing. She just stared at Higashinohara with a pair of worried big eyes, and she stopped staring until Higashinohara gave her a reassuring look.
Hold him.
Early this morning, after finishing his exercise, Higashinohara took the train and arrived at the solemn and cold mansion according to the address on the text message he received. A strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
If the people in the Adjudication Department knew that the man who had killed two Adjudicators and kept them awake at night had come to participate in their social recruitment as a candidate today, what would they think?
Higashinohara, who goes by the pseudonym "Nishimiyai", raised his head and squinted at the square and gloomy black building of the Adjudication Division.
After a while, he lowered his peaked cap, held the backpack on his shoulders, and walked in. When he entered the gate of the Adjudication Division, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
