Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 331 Vanguard of Evil!

Not ready yet?

   "Well" Kyogoku Kawasui came back to his senses, coughed dryly, and asked with a smile, "Does Higashino have any concerns? Or are you not satisfied with the school?"

   "No, the school is good," Higashinohara nodded.

   Higashinohara is not quite sure what the Celestial Academy in the upper Kyoto metropolitan area looks like, but Stanford's private Great Sword Ability Academy is indeed the best human ability academy Higashinohara has ever seen.

  The problem is that going to a better academy to receive the guidance of a better ability user may be full of temptation for other students in the classroom, and it can help them break through the existing shackles and bottlenecks.

  But for people like Higashinohara who rely on attributes to add points, they are not very attractive.

   On the other hand, among the top students from Minami Takehara who were selected as exchange students, the strongest is probably the rooster-like Shibo Yu in front.

  But last year's entrance examination, Si Boyou's "amazing talent" ability level was no more than a fifth-level power user.

   On the other hand, Higashinohara, even under normal circumstances, started at the seventh level. The helpful guidance to Shi Boyu in Stafford Private Great Sword Academy may not necessarily be for him.

If you stay in Wano Country, although the [Boundary Gate] of the Sky Tree has collapsed now, and the seven-day cycle is no longer valid, the Sky Tree is like an extinct volcano, and the possibility of its resurgence is extremely low, and Higashinohara is gone again. Go to the world behind the border gate to brush the benefits of source points

Without the attraction of [Boundary Gate], Wano Country, a small country located in the corner of the East China Sea, has greatly declined in the eyes of various factions and pirates who coveted here before. There are no more unfamiliar foreign forces appearing, and the reports on the vicious pirates on the news have also been greatly reduced. The "good days" when the pirates made troubles in Wano country and let him randomly trigger the [Crime Manual] task Gone forever.

  However, even so,

  Higashi Nohara doesn’t seem to have any reason to go all the way to Stafford’s Private Great Sword Academy.

   Is it just for the opportunity of public travel?

   Is it worth it?

  For a while, his thoughts turned in his mind.

  Kyogoku Kawasui silently stared at Higashinohara in front of him. He still had some impressions of this outstanding student who shined at the New Tokyo and Kyoto Exchange Conference last year, and later looked at the other party's information.

   Higashinohara once had the experience of applying for a student loan in his mind. The old man Kyogoku Kawasui couldn’t help but smile a little, and said softly:

   "If you are worried about the cost of going abroad for an exchange and study tour, this student Higashino can rest assured."

"The school attaches great importance to you, and will not let any good seedling with potential give up such a good opportunity because of the cost. From the moment you get on the plane, all expenses for the next school year will be fully covered by our school. And if you perform well enough during the enrollment period, you can even get an additional scholarship from Stafford's private Great Sword Academy."

  However, Higashinohara was not surprised when he heard what Kyogoku Kawasui said. He clearly knew that behind the Takehara Minami Private Academy winning the exchange student program this time, there must be some connections from the Wano country officials.

  The official deep-seated purpose, I am afraid that there is a sense of sending a group of potential outstanding talents to the country in advance one day after the Wano Kingdom is really destroyed. If this is the case, then the cost will definitely not be searched.

   Then again.

Since Higashinohara joined the "Dawning Scarlet" hunter organization, thanks to the financial support of the Kimura family, he has not been so short of money after completing so many tasks. He even has a lot of money in the Flagship Bank of the United States of Targos. deposits.

   Lack of money is not his concern.

  Hearing Kyogoku Kawasui's promise at this time, Higashinohara showed a little apology on his face, and replied frankly, "Sorry. I am very grateful for the school's attention, but I still need some time to think about it."

   Higashinohara's answer fell in the ears of everyone, and it was no different from a tactful rejection.

  That was personally invited by the principal, Kyogoku Kawasui. What kind of reason does this guy have for rejecting such a hard-won opportunity?

  Principal Kyogoku Kawamizu also had a look of surprise on his face.

   In principle, participation in this student exchange program must be voluntary.

   But the old man Kyogoku Kawasui hesitated for a while, and still couldn't help asking, "Is there any other concerns for Mr. Higashino?"

  Kyogokugawa is very optimistic about Higashinohara.

  Although this student is not like the Sibo brothers and sisters, who has emerged from the day of enrollment and attracted everyone's attention under the spotlight.

  But this kind of late blooming jade is easier to accumulate, and a heart that has experienced setbacks and polishing can go further on this road.

  Hearing the serious question of the old man in front of him, his tone revealed concern. Higashinohara couldn't be perfunctory, so he thought for a while and said slowly:

   “Actually, it’s mostly the environment”

  He originally wanted to shirk that he had never been anywhere except Hokkaido and New Tokyo when he grew up, and he was not very used to the strange environment in such a strange place.

  Unexpectedly, after hearing Higashinohara’s concerns, the principal, Kyogoku Kawasui, immediately showed a thoughtful look on his face, and nodded slightly:

   "What about the environment? That's true. The United States of Targos pursues democracy and freedom. In addition, it is adjacent to waters like the West Sea, where illegal and criminal forces have always been rampant. The security environment is indeed a bit harsh."

  The old man sighed as he said that, he didn't expect Higashinohara to have such worries, he was not mature enough to look like a young man.

  For a while, he couldn't even say the comforting words "you will be relatively safe if you enter the academy".

As we all know, the school case of the United States of Targos is really ranked "the highest in the world", and news reports about terrorist incidents on campus can be seen every three minutes. Some media like to exaggerate and even compare the capital of the United States of "Meiji Mansion" is called "Sin City".

  At this time, Kyogoku Kawasui glanced at the other people in the classroom—only those students who were a little yearning before were stunned when they heard this, and their expressions became a little stiff.

   Apparently, the students who were previously overwhelmed by the excitement of being valued seem to have only just realized it.

   This trip to the United States of Targos as an exchange student did not seem to be as good as I initially imagined.

  Kyogoku Kawasui couldn't help shaking his head secretly when he saw this.

  However, at this moment, he inadvertently glanced at Higashinohara, but he couldn't help being slightly taken aback!

On the seat in the classroom, I saw the young man who was still looking at his eyes, nose, nose, nose, and heart with a calm face. After hearing what he said just now, his calm eyes suddenly became brighter than ever before, and he stared at him with great vigor. Looking at him, he asked with a hint of excitement in his tone:

   "Principal. Are you serious?"

excited? !

  The old man Kyogoku Kawasui was a little overwhelmed. He hesitated for a while, and said with a wry smile, "This is indeed my negligence. I should have told you earlier."

   "I am willing." Suddenly, an affirmative voice came from my ear.

   "If I told you guys earlier?"

  Principal Kyogokukawa Mizuki was halfway through his words, but was suddenly taken aback by what Higashinohara interrupted, and the words stuck in his throat. He looked at the excited young man in front of him in surprise, and said hesitantly:

   "You just said"

   "I am willing to join this student exchange program." Higashinohara nodded seriously.

   "Aren't you concerned about the security environment over there?"

  “I think a harsh environment can better sharpen a person’s will.”

   "But the academy there doesn't seem to be as safe as expected"

   "There is never absolute security in the world."

   "Stop thinking about it?"

"No thanks."

  “.”

  In just the blink of an eye, Higashinohara and the principal Kyogoku Kawasui seemed to switch roles, making everyone around the classroom who noticed them a little dumbfounded.

   Outrageous, outrageous.

  When everyone excitedly expressed their willingness to accept the exchange student quota, he pushed back and forth;

  Now when everyone realizes the hidden risks and hesitates, he hastily agrees, looking as if he can't wait to fly to the country of Targos and have a good word with the criminals.

This guy

  Is your head broken?

  At this time, the principal Kyogoku Kawasui reacted from the daze just now.

  He stared at the radiant Higashinohara in front of him, turned around in his mind, and a smile of approval suddenly appeared on his face.

  Kyogoku Kawasui seems to understand a bit

  This young man may not be as timid as he imagined, on the contrary, he has a big heart that loves challenges!

   "Principal, I would like to ask, when will we start this exchange?" Higashinohara suddenly asked.

   What an energetic guy!

  Principal Kyogokugawa Mizuzu admired in his heart, turned around and glanced at the other students around the classroom, and said to Higashinohara at the same time:

   "For this exchange program with Stafford Private Dajian Academy, we are tentatively scheduled to leave for the airport on next Thursday, 8th. Everyone has a week to say goodbye to their families and deal with domestic affairs before leaving."

   After a week?

so fast?

  After hearing what the previous headmaster said, everyone became inexplicably nervous, and they all bowed their heads and began to think in silence.

   "That's not too slow." Higashinohara said suddenly.

  Principal Kyogoku Kawasui nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "It seems that Higashino-san is a little impatient."

   "The decision will be made sooner or later." Higashinohara said.

   "Okay, then I'm looking forward to the results of your exchange study tour in Wano Country." Principal Kyogoku Kawamizu patted Higashinohara on the shoulder in relief.

  This "kind" move immediately made the corner of Si Boyou's mouth twitch slightly in the front row, secretly thinking in his heart that it was me first, how could this kid come out on top.

  Thinking of this, he turned around and said loudly, "I think you can wait and see, principal."

"haha ok."

Principal Kyogoku Kawasui nodded with a smile, and then joked with a smile, "Then I suggest that in the next week, besides saying goodbye to your loved ones, you'd better try our Wano country's food on the streets of New Tokyo. I'm afraid you won't be able to taste the taste for a long time."

   Speaking of this, Kyogoku Chuansui's heart suddenly darkened slightly.

  Because if the situation in Wano Country develops in the worst direction in the next two months, then I am afraid that it will be the last time for these students to taste the local food of Wano Country.

   Just imagine, if one day the Wano country really becomes a war-torn country like the Grand Duchy of Shayash that was divided by the revolutionary army, then who would still be in the mood to taste any delicious food?

  Thinking of this, the old man sighed in his heart, and the figure of this old man who spent half his life in the education industry in Kyoto and New Tokyo also became slightly stooped.

   "Then I won't bother you for the time being. Mr. Kikuchi will answer any questions you have. I'll see you in a week." After speaking, the old man walked out of the multimedia classroom with his hands behind his back and watched by everyone.

   The classroom was quiet for a while, and then everyone started talking in twos and threes.

On the seat diagonally behind, Hoouin Kaguya stared at Higashinohara's back, bit his lip, and suddenly picked up the gilt folding fan on his lap and walked over, sat beside Higashinohara and said, "Higashino-kun can tell me. Why did you suddenly change your mind just now, you don't seem to be interested in this exchange student program."

   "It was the principal's words that 'moved' me." Higashinohara said sincerely.

  Hearing Higashinohara's answer, Hoouin Kaguya stared at the enigmatic boy in front of him, feeling for a moment that the other person was telling the truth.

  She had read Higashinohara's archives from elementary school to high school, coupled with the girl's sixth sense, she thought she should have more "understanding" of this boy than ordinary people.

  However, when actually face to face with the other party, Houhouin Kaguya looked at the warm smile on Higashinohara's face, but suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know much better than others.

  This boy seems to be covered in a layer of fog.

   The closer,

   The more confusing it is.

   While the two were talking, Kikuchi Xiaichi on the podium in front of the classroom, who was also the teacher leading the exchange study tour, simply reminded a few precautions and then announced that everyone could disband.

   Higashinohara stood up, smiled and said to Hoouin Kaguya, "I'm leaving first, see you in a week."

  Huangouyuan Kaguya was a little dazed, and after hearing Higashinohara's words, he was stunned for a while before he realized it. When he wanted to speak, he found that Higashinohara had already walked to the door of the classroom.

  The girl opened her mouth, swallowed back the words in both throats, and waved silently at the back of Higashinohara who disappeared at the door of the classroom.

  At noon, in the academy restaurant.

   "Brother, have you really decided to join the exchange student program?"

  Nishimaru Miri stared at Higashinohara with a tone full of astonishment and reluctance, her little face was full of tension.

   "Well, there's something to take care of."

Higashinohara nodded, seeing Miri Nishimaru's reluctance, smiled and rubbed her little head and said, "Don't worry, there is only one school year, and I will come back soon after the end, well, it may not be the school year I'll be back when it's over, you and auntie wait for me at home obediently."

It's not that he has never considered bringing Nishimaru Miri with him, but he is not familiar with that place at present, and according to the description of the principal Kyogoku Kawasui, it is not a safe and peaceful place, and it is not so safe to go there. It's not good to leave my aunt Kolotia alone, but I'm not going on a trip, so it's definitely not appropriate to bring the two of you with you.

  In contrast, Wano Country is currently more stable.

  Of course, if something really happens to Wano Country after the World Conference in June, then I must come back early.

  After the little girl received an affirmative answer without any room for maneuver, her delicate fair face suddenly became wrinkled.

  She lowered her head and poked the rolling meatballs in the bowl with her chopsticks, and said sullenly, "But it takes a school year. It takes a long time, big brother, why do you want to go there?"

why?

   Higashinohara hesitated for a moment, and slowly showed a smile on his face, "In order to become stronger, I can only protect you if I become stronger."

  The little girl heard the words for a while, but suddenly she felt a little dazed.

   It turned out that I was not strong enough.

   Did the big brother feel the pressure?

Um! Then I must also become stronger.

   Just as Nishimaru Miri made up her mind, a girl suddenly came not far away.

  I saw that girl walked up to Higashinohara with some hesitation, lowered her head and held a white envelope coyly in both hands, secretly raised her eyes to look at Higashinohara's side face, then quickly lowered her head shyly.

  When the little girl sitting opposite saw this situation, she immediately stared at the uninvited guest and the thin snow-white envelope in his hand with some vigilance.

   Love letter?

snort!

  Big brother will not be tempted.

Oops!

  Miri Nishimaru suddenly thought of something in her heart, and her little face turned pale.

  I heard on TV that the social atmosphere in the United States of Targos is open, and girls are more active.

  Big brother rejected many love letters in Zhuyuan South Gakuen, but if he got there, he would see an unprecedented exotic atmosphere.

   Will you lose yourself all of a sudden?

   Higashinohara obviously didn’t expect Miri Nishimaru, who was sitting across from him with a sluggish face, to be thinking about these things. He looked up at the nervous girl, smiled and said, “Hello classmate, what’s the matter?”

  The girl was startled by Higashinohara's words, and raised her head subconsciously, but the handsome smiling face imprinted in her eyes made her lower her head quickly, her heart beat so fast that she dared not look directly at it.

Immediately, she realized her purpose, and quickly handed the snow-white envelope to Higashinohara with both hands, and stammered, "Student Dongye. Just now, an uncle outside the restaurant asked me to hand over this envelope. The letter is forwarded to you, and please accept it."

  After saying these nondescript words, the nervous girl quickly turned around and walked away.

  Hoo. Why is the handsome guy so scary!

   Higashinohara is a bit inexplicable!

  He glanced at Miri Nishimaru who was staring at the envelope in his hand with vigilance in his small eyes, shrugged with a smile, and immediately tore open the envelope with a "hiss".

  However, after taking a second glance, Higashinohara's complexion changed subtly.

  There are only two lines on the letter paper in the envelope.

   "Don't leave after school in the afternoon."

   "Coffee shop at the gate of the school, let's meet."
