Chapter 347 The real power of [rules]! (Large chapter)
What is different from the former Wano Takehara Minami Private Academy is that Stafford Private Great Sword Academy only has one big class in the morning.
It was almost 11:30 noon when the long bell finally echoed in the huge campus.
When the bell rang as scheduled, everyone in the lecture theater, those who were listening to the class, those who were playing with their mobile phones, and those who were napping, all woke up like a blessing.
Everyone stood up politely and bowed goodbye to the old man with gray hair and scholarly style in front of the blackboard, and then swarmed 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 put his pocket in his pocket to wipe the chalk words on the blackboard with one hand.
The old man is not a capable person, but he has been engaged in theoretical research all his life. He does not care about his classmates who sleep in class, and will not deny their excellence because of this.
This is a special academy for people with abilities.
Not everyone has the patience to spend a lifetime studying the boring "Introduction to Speed" like him.
In fact, most students in the academy prefer to learn and improve themselves through actual combat rather than theoretical research, which is also a relatively common path.
There is no way. If a person with abilities wants to work hard to improve his ability level through theoretical research, it is almost like sitting and watching a waterfall to gain enlightenment overnight. It really requires understanding and talent.
As students poured out of the lecture hall, the old professor was still wiping the blackboard attentively. The chalk dust was suppressed by his familiar blackboard eraser. From the corner of his eye, he noticed a figure standing behind him.
.
The other party stood quietly behind him and waited. It wasn't until he finished erasing the blackboard, turned around and put down the blackboard eraser that he spoke calmly:
"Hello, Professor Albert."
"Hello, it's a new face." The old professor turned around and said with a smile.
"Actually, I am an exchange student who just enrolled yesterday." Higashinohara smiled shyly and said straight to the point, "I have a question to ask you about the "Introduction to Speed" you just taught."
"Oh?" The old professor laughed and said with some humor, "I didn't expect that there would be students in this academy who would be interested in the "Introduction to Speed" I wrote. If you have any questions, you might as well tell me."
Which book was written by him?
Higashinohara didn't pay much attention to this.
However, he still raised his doubts, "You just mentioned in class that even a mediocre time will stir up many interesting 'waves', and when certain conditions are met,
We can even go 'upstream' and watch the 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 a hypothesis?" Higashinohara was slightly stunned.
"Of course it's not just a hypothesis." The old professor smiled and shrugged, "It's just that so far, there are no speed users in Stafford Private Academy who can verify my theory, so it can only be a hypothesis."
After hearing this, Higashinohara nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Then I may take the liberty to ask, what is the premise for your 'countercurrent' hypothesis to be established?"
"It seems that you are really 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. If you stand by the long river and watch the waves stirred up by the river flowing eastwards, they will never return.
But when your speed is fast enough, you can chase this wave and appreciate its beauty quietly. I call it a 'wave chaser'."
"Those who chase the waves." Higashinohara said with a slight frown, "But the waves will always disappear."
The old professor nodded and said in approval, "Yes, but your enemy will not disappear. When the enemy appears at the location of that wave, the 'Wanderer' can attack the enemy through that wave at will.
Therefore, the necessary condition for the ‘countercurrent’ theory is that you need to have a wave of your own in the long river of time.”
Higashinohara couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He frowned and thought for a few seconds, then raised his head and glanced at the old professor, "Then... turn back time?"
"No no no."
The old professor shook his head and explained seriously, "Time will always be a long river that never ceases to flow. There may be some great being that can make it flow backwards, but the 'countercurrent' theory can flow backwards. It is always you, not time.
.”
Picking up the briefcase on the podium, before leaving, the old professor gently tapped his forehead with his finger.
He chuckled and said:
"Remember, as a speed user, time does not depend on how much you have, but on how you use it.."
Looking at the back of the old professor, Higashinohara chewed the word "countercurrent" repeatedly, and finally a smile appeared on his lips.
After comprehending the true speed field [Phantom Sakura Killing Chaos], Higashinohara's agility attribute gradually increased to 87 points, and he also began to think about his own "rules".
At present, although Higashinohara has the "unrestricted rule" of dual compound abilities [Dragon of Candlelight].
But after all, that is just an "abnormal" experience card with a huge temporary agility attribute bonus. Higashinohara has never had its own speed-based "rules" like [Phantom Sakura Killing Chaos].
Before, his thoughts on [Rules] were rather messy, and he always felt like there was a layer of window paper between them.
It's so hazy that people can't see clearly.
Unexpectedly, after taking care of the people from the Adjudication Department today, I walked into the School of Speed and accidentally listened to the words of Professor Albert, who had studied "Introduction to Speed".
Higashinohara felt as if the window paper had been opened, as if the messy thoughts in his mind were suddenly arranged neatly.
It seemed as if a door finally appeared in front of me.
And the next time.
All he has to do is push open the door.
Thinking of this, Higashinohara squinted slightly and looked at the bright sun outside the classroom. He felt a rare sense of refreshment in his heart. Today is really a good weather with "war and chaos".
"Damn it!"
Stafford Private Great Sword Academy.
The unshaven, middle-aged Inquisitor Michus did not know when he appeared near the East Gate. With his peripheral vision, he scanned the bodies of his subordinates one after another from the sewer near the East Gate.
suddenly,
He felt that the sunlight above his head was a bit dazzling.
Almost every corpse had its throat slit with a single knife, completing the clean and neat execution!
In an instant, the tired look on Judge Michus's face was completely wiped away, replaced only by endless gloom.
Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could guess the situation in his mind through the fatal injuries on the neck of these subordinates and the black-robed executive captain Simpson.
The white mist-like fog filled the air, blocking everything that could be seen. The moment the sword flashed past, the warm and viscous scarlet liquid melted into the mist, and the vulnerable bodies fell one after another as if they had been cut grass.
Down
For those who can do all this, even without the last phone call, Judge Michus can easily deduce the identity of the other party based on the clues at the scene.
That’s right!
That is the commander of the Southern Army of the Dawn Revolutionary Army.
Fog Ghost, Charles Lin.
This is the sense of smell coming from a top judge!
At this time, the deputy captain of the black-robed execution team ran over quickly, bent down and said nervously:
"Sir, this morning we sealed off a total of 108 streets in the four major administrative districts of Meiji Prefecture and brought back nearly a thousand suspicious persons. The police in Meiji Prefecture reported to us that their local detention center has exceeded the maximum capacity. We also
Do you want to continue searching for members of the Dawn Revolutionary Army?"
"Continue! Of course continue!"
Michus narrowed his eyes slightly and said without thinking, "If the detention center can't accommodate them, let them set up tents outside the police station. There are always more ways than difficulties. What I want is to catch them all."
The vice-captain of the black-robed execution team hesitated for a moment, carefully looked at the face of the inquisitor who had come to Beijing, and then lowered his voice and said carefully:
"But this morning's operation has affected the property of many powerful members of Meiji Mansion. We have received a lot of 'complaining' calls. If we continue to carry out this kind of sweeping arrest, I am worried that those politicians and members will feel bad about it."
dissatisfied."
"Have some complaints? Feel dissatisfied?" Judge Michus chewed on these two words.
Suddenly, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He turned his head and looked at the deputy captain of the black-robed execution team stationed in Meiji Mansion. He asked lightly, "Then what do you think...Ms. Alita and I?"
What are you here for?"
The vice-captain of the black-robed execution team was stunned for a moment, with a slightly confused look on his face.
There is only a river between the Shangjing metropolitan area and Meiji Prefecture. Big figures from above come down to inspect the work. How can he, a small deputy captain of the execution team, have any chance of knowing the inside story.
"When you are calm, everyone is a good person, and everyone is a good citizen and loyal minister of the world government."
Judge Michus said with a half-smile, "Only when you touch their cakes, these self-righteous humans will show their true colors. This is the purpose of us and Lady Alita coming here."
Speaking of this, Judge Michus narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
"Speaking of which, we have to thank the people of the Dawn Revolutionary Army for taking action against Captain Simpson of your execution team. If that hadn't been the case, I would have had to work hard to find a legitimate reason to get angry, but now, obviously I have."
The vice-captain of the black-robed execution team couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this. He felt a bit "sorrowful for the death of a rabbit and a fox" for no reason. He quickly lowered his head to hide the emotion on his face.
But at this moment, another person quickly ran over from behind. After approaching, he bowed slightly behind Judge Michus and handed over an exquisite and luxurious invitation with both hands.
"Sir Matthews, Councilor Kenneth sent an invitation to the Adjudication Division. Tomorrow night is her daughter's tenth birthday dinner. I hope you can enjoy it tomorrow night."
"Oh? Birthday dinner?"
Michus took the invitation casually, glanced at it, pondered for two seconds, suddenly laughed, and said to himself:
"These powerful members of the Meiji Mansion have always avoided us who come to Beijing. This time they will take the initiative to send me an invitation. It seems that this morning's raid has indeed affected the interests of many people, so they have to
A speaker has been chosen to negotiate with me."
Having said this, the smile on Judge Michus's lips suddenly turned into a sarcastic sneer.
"But why should the lamb negotiate with the shepherd? Is it because the prosperity of the United Tagos Republic in recent years has made these humans forget their identities?"
"What about this invitation?" the subordinate asked hesitantly.
"Tell him that Lady Alita and I will arrive on time." Judge Michus smiled silently, with a slightly crazy arc at the corner of his mouth.
"I'm looking forward to it. When these humans find that their demands cannot be met, will someone take the initiative to jump out? If so, maybe our mission on this trip to Tagos can be completed sooner."
"Yes!" the subordinate said immediately.
At this time, the deputy captain of the black-robed execution team standing quietly aside said, "Sir Michus, if our focus now shifts to hunting down the Dawn Revolutionary Army, then we will hunt down the woman who escaped from the dungeon."
"Have you ever seen anyone who escaped from the dungeon of the Adjudication Department and survived for more than three days?"
Judge Michus suddenly asked.
"Uh, I don't think I've seen it before." The vice-captain swallowed.
"very good."
Judge Michus smiled and patted his shoulder, took a deep look at the lakeside academy, turned around and said before leaving:
"Then I hope,
Never show up again."
The black-robed executive captain suddenly felt excited. He understood the deadline the man had given him and quickly said loudly:
"yes!"
"Were you blocked by people from the Adjudication Department this morning?"
12 noon, Stafford Restaurant.
Just as Higashinohara came back with the dinner plate, he heard the "King of Forces" Shiba Yu from the dining table diagonally in front of him speaking to the people sitting around him with a solemn face.
There was a familiar fat man with glasses tearing some mutton in his mouth. He looked up and saw Higashinohara and quickly waved to him with a leg of lamb in his hand. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with Stafford's food.
Siba Yu, who had a medium-rare Wellington steak in front of him, raised his head when he saw this, and also saw Higashinohara walking towards him with a dinner plate.
Perhaps because of the friendship over the bucket of instant noodles in the dormitory late last night, Siba Yu's previous hostility towards Higashinohara for stealing their brother and sister's spotlight in Takehara South was reduced a bit. He also smiled very reservedly and nodded towards Higashinohara.
Higashino originally wanted to find a place to have lunch alone and think about his thoughts on the morning class, but he saw that most of Takehara Minami's group was there except for Kaguya of the Phoenix-in.
After a slight hesitation, he came over with a dinner plate and sat down at the edge of the dining table.
"Has Mr. Higashino been blocked by people from the Adjudication Department this morning?" The fat man with glasses asked after swallowing the mutton in his mouth.
Most of the exchange students were not in the same ability department, and they separated as soon as they left the dormitory in the morning.
"Well, I just happened to meet someone from the student union and they said a few words to me." Higashinohara said truthfully.
"No way? Tsk tsk. After all, this is the top academy in the world, and even people from the student union can speak in front of people from the Adjudication Division."
The fat man with glasses sighed and sighed.
"Uh-huh, after all, it's not my country that's strong enough." Someone suddenly said angrily.
As soon as these words came out,
The surrounding air suddenly became silent.
There is no harm without comparison.
In Wano, which is located in a remote corner of the East China Sea, not to mention the student union, even the members of Congress would not be able to say a few words in front of the Adjudication Division, and they would not sell this face at all.
"That's why the principal sent us here."
Shiba Yu said in a leisurely tone, then paused and continued, "Actually, the students from Takehara Minami are not the only ones sent by Wano Country this time. Each of the 'Four University Campuses' in New Tokyo has a group of outstanding students."
The ability users were sent to the top academies in the United Tagos Republic and the Saint Malo Empire."
Suddenly, the little fat man seemed to think of something when he heard the words, and sighed, "That's what I said, but I don't know how many people will be willing to do it if Wano is really kicked out of the Allied Powers and collapses after the World Conference in June.
After the school year is over, return to Wano to rebuild the country."
"What do you mean? I will definitely go back anyway." Sister Si Boqiong immediately raised her eyebrows.
"Humph, don't be so full of words, it may not be certain when the time comes." Someone retorted.
"It doesn't have to be you, right?"
"You believe in yourself so much.?"
"."
Seeing that the two young and energetic people were about to quarrel.
Si Bo You frowned slightly and immediately yelled, "Stop arguing. If we accomplish nothing in this school year, what will happen even if we go back? Will we become slaves of the subjugated country? If we have time to argue now, we might as well think about it.
How do you want to improve yourself?”
Suddenly, Shiba Yu looked at Higashinohara and asked casually, "Has Higashino thought about joining the 'Three Conferences' of Stafford Academy?"
Seriously speaking, among the seven people in Takehara Minami's exchange program this time, except for his younger sister Shiba Qiong and Hohoin Kaguya, only Higashinohara among the boys can let Shiba Yutaka take a look.
Higashinohara, who was eating rice with his head lowered and thinking about when to visit Congressman Kenneth this afternoon and complete Tokugawa Ritora's commission, raised his head.
After realizing what the other party had just said, he asked, "Three major conferences? Oh, you mean those organizations of the student union?"
"Yes, my plan is to try to join the academy's [Mithril Club], a long-established club in Staffordshire with a history as long as the founding of Staffordshire. Everyone in the club is an elite member of the academy.
If you can join the elite of Miles, I think it will not only improve your personal abilities, but also lay a foundation for connections in the United Tagos United States."
Siba You slowly stated his plan and sat upright reservedly, trying to catch some surprise in Higashinohara's eyes.
Unexpectedly, Higashinohara still had a calm expression, as if he just said "oh" after hearing him say that he had eaten a bucket of "mithril" flavored instant noodles last night.
Sibo You's face suddenly froze.
What development is this?
After hearing this, shouldn't normal people infer from their own description that it must be difficult to join this elite cradle of the "Mithril Society", and then marvel at their determination and confidence?
asshole!
That's the Mithril Society!
It’s not Mithril-flavored instant noodles!
But that's right, everyone has just arrived, so maybe he doesn't know what the "Mithril Society" is yet.
Siba Yu was comforting himself in his heart, cutting a piece of steak in his hand and stuffing it into his mouth, but Higashinohara's next words suddenly made him choke.
"What a coincidence, I also plan to join the Mithril Society."
The plain tone was like saying: What a coincidence, I also ate a bucket of "Mithril" flavored instant noodles last night.
King Siba You looked at the remaining steaks on the plate quietly, closed his eyes with some dejection, sighed quietly in his heart and thought:
From now on, in front of this man
This is awesome.
It’s okay not to pretend.
Please give me a ticket in the last two hours at the end of the month~
