I rely on myself

Chapter 88 Reasons and Participation

"I'm sorry."

The contestants and student union members representing Pojun Academy who had received a notice from the chairman heard their chairman saying these words of apology to them as soon as they arrived here.

"Chairman!"
Ikki and the others were of course very surprised by this, and they didn't understand why the chairman wanted to apologize.

"Huh, if we hadn't been late in getting back, Pojun Academy wouldn't be in this state. It's really embarrassing that you guys are needed to hold back the incoming enemy."

While saying this, Shinguji Kurono's face was full of regret, unwillingness and apology, which showed that she was serious.

Of course, Lin Yuan and others would not really blame their own chairman for this. After all,

"No, Chairman, please don't feel sorry."

"Yes, after all, you didn't expect this kind of thing."

"Indeed, if anyone should be blamed, it should be those guys who suddenly attacked."

"Although I have no right to say this, I will still say it here. Please don't feel sorry."

"Although I am very unwilling that I didn't catch those people from Akatsuki Academy, I don't think it's your fault, Chairman."

"After all, no one could have anticipated this kind of thing, and they were so well prepared that they even tampered with the plane returning from Osaka to Tokyo."

Ikki, Stella, Shizuku, Arisuin, Toudou Touka, and Kitarohara Kanata each said these words of comfort.

The rest of the people also said something more or less.

After hearing everyone's comfort, the expression on Shinguji Kurono's face finally relaxed a little.

Then Shinguji Kurono spoke with a very complicated expression.

“I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”

This sentence also made Lin Yuan and others look complicated and speechless.

What was supposed to be a sports festival turned out to be a political battleground between Japan and the alliance over sovereignty.

"Akatsuki Academy, their participation in the Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival is basically confirmed. If the students of the Seven Stars Academy cannot defeat them, or even lose the championship to them, then the position of the Alliance will become very embarrassing, and Teacher Yueying should also want to use this opportunity to regain the sovereignty of the country."

Speaking of this, Shinguji Kurono couldn't help but reveal a little sadness.

After hearing the chairman's name for someone, Yihui couldn't help but ask, "Chairman, do you know Prime Minister Yueying?"

"When I was a student at Pojun Academy, he was the chairman. In my impression, he was a very intellectual and rational person, very respectable... What happened after he became a politician?"

After Shinguji Kurono explained the relationship between the two, he couldn't help but ask a question and lit a cigarette.

Looking closely, the ashtray on the chairman's desk was now filled with cigarette butts, looking like a sea urchin.

It can be seen that she is also very distressed about this matter.

"The reason why I asked you to let those people from Akatsuki Academy go before was because he notified me that these people were talents trained by the country and asked me to let them go."

After hearing this, everyone finally understood why the chairman had said before to let those people from Akatsuki Academy go, but they were still very confused as to why the chairman would agree to such an unreasonable request.

And Shinguji Kurono seemed to understand everyone's confusion and continued to explain.

"Although I don't really want to pay attention to such unreasonable demands, after all, this country is behind the other party, and they have plenty of ways to turn black into white. Therefore, we have no way of proving that it was them who attacked Pojun Academy. Even if we really catch them, we can't do anything to them, and we will be forced to release them because of pressure from the government." After hearing this, everyone understood why the chairman had done this before.

"Anyway, this is what's going on. This time, the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival will become a battlefield for political confrontation between this country and the alliance, so I'd like to ask for your opinions again."

"The other party is undoubtedly the elite of the underground society, with extraordinary strength, and if you participate, you will become pawns in this struggle, so I am here to ask for your opinion again, whether you want to participate in this <Seven Star Sword Dance>."

After hearing this, everyone understood the main reason why the chairman called them here.

"I can understand you giving up, after all, given the situation, so you should think about it carefully."

Shinguji Kurono gave this advice.

"."

After hearing Shinguji Kurono's admonition, everyone began to look at each other.

Everyone also knew that it was normal for Shinguji Kurono to give a warning.

After all, this year's "Seven Star Sword Dance Festival" is indeed different from previous years, so it is not surprising that some people would want to give up.

"I will play!"

Ikki made the first choice and answered without hesitation.

"To me, this year's Seven Stars Sword Festival is no different from previous years. It's just that the strong men from the underground world broke into the knight festival of the surface world. Although there are more strong men, if I run away just because there are more powerful opponents, then, let alone becoming a magic knight, I will definitely not even be a qualified swordsman."

Perhaps because of the example set by Ikki's performance, Stella also made a choice.

"I will also compete. After all, the reason I came to this country is to find more opponents so that I can hone myself and become stronger. So I have no intention of avoiding this."

Stella also stated her choice and reasons.

"Although I have no interest in the Seven Star Sword Festival, I have lived in this academy for such a long time, so I have to give it back even for this."

After Shizuku finished speaking, Kanata Kitokuin who followed closely behind also spoke.

"As a member of the student union of this college, I have to do something when I see the college become like this, so I will participate in the competition."

As these words fell, it meant that four of the six representatives of Pojun Academy were ready to participate, and the next one was -

"In that case, please allow me to give up my rights."

Arisuin Nagi at the side finally spoke, and said these words with a faint smile.

"Alice!"
Hearing this unexpected answer, everyone was very surprised at first, but soon they quieted down as if they had realized something.

And Shinguji Kurono also asked what the reason was.

"After all, I am also partly responsible for this incident, so I can't continue to be so shameless, so I decided to give up the competition."

After hearing this answer, everyone understood that Arisuin acted like this because he felt guilty about the attack on Pojun Academy.

Shinguji Kurono also agreed with his choice.
