"Or perhaps St. Lin Private Academy? I have some business dealings with the board members there; a little sponsorship and they can get you admitted. It's a prestigious school, with good junior and senior high schools..."
"Uncle." Seeing that Kirito was getting more and more lost in thought, mentioning schools one after another, Kanon called out to him, "I want to go and see Shohoku High School in Kanagawa Prefecture."
“Shohoku?” Kirito was stunned. “Kanagawa isn’t far, but Shohoku probably isn’t a particularly outstanding school, you…” He noticed that Kanon had a longing look on her face when she mentioned Shohoku, as if there was something particularly attractive about it, which made Kirito even more hesitant to agree.
"Could it be that there are martial arts masters over there as well?" Qieji thought to himself with a hint of worry.
"No, I just heard..." Hanon was about to say that Shohoku's basketball team was good, but then she thought about it again. When she met Rukawa Kaede that time, she didn't ask him what grade he was in. She didn't know if he was a first-year student or a second-year student who had just entered the national tournament. Whether Shohoku's basketball team was famous was like Schrödinger's cat.
So Kanon changed her mind halfway through, saying, "I heard that the judo club there is quite famous, and it's quite close to our home. Tokyo is too crowded; maybe Kanagawa Prefecture is a quieter place."
Following her train of thought, Kanon suddenly realized that if the national tournament were already over, and Sakuragi was injured, and Akagi and Kogure had "retired," leaving only Rukawa, Miyagi, and Mitsui, it seemed rather pointless. Being a girl, and unable to represent Shohoku anyway, deciding to go to school just to "chase after stars" was indeed a bit hasty.
As a time traveler, Hanon wanted to enjoy every day to the fullest and was unwilling to make plans too easily, thus wasting her precious time.
"How about this, Uncle, I'll go visit Xiangbei in a few days and then make a decision when I get back!"
Author's Note: The article mentions some high schools from low-skill anime. I wonder if everyone can find the corresponding ones right away (laughs). Tomorrow we're setting off on a day trip to Shohoku High School—but there will be other anime that will pop up.
Chapter 264 Chapter 262: Huayin’s path to education
"The sun shines brightly, the flowers smile at me, and the little bird says, 'Good morning, good morning, why are you carrying a bomb on your back?'"
Early in the morning, Hanon skipped out of Takakaze's house. Today was her "study tour" day, which basically meant wandering around the greater Tokyo metropolitan area, going wherever the opportunity arose to visit schools.
Why is it called "wandering around"? This is the result of a compromise between Kanon and Kiriji. Kiriji ultimately felt that Kanon's motives for insisting on going to Shohoku were impure. Since it was the start of the school season, he asked Kanon to consider more schools no matter what.
Hanon was also concerned about the uncertainty of Shohoku's "plotline," and thought it wouldn't hurt to visit other schools, so she agreed. On the condition that Hanon could decide where to visit and report back to Kiriji, but Kiriji could not send anyone to follow her.
Well, actually, if Kanon really wanted to run, how many people in the world could keep up with her? Kirito knew this too. Kanon raised the issue out of respect for her uncle, so Kirito readily agreed to her request. A loving and harmonious relationship between uncle and nephew!
However, just because they don't concern themselves with it doesn't mean that no one in the Yingfeng family will nag.
"Young Miss!" Butler Ito stepped out of the mansion and called out to Hanon, who was about to run around, "Aren't you waiting for the driver?"
"Eek—yes." Hanon immediately facepalmed. She had gotten too excited and was even treating Tokyo like a remote island, wanting to get wherever she wanted on foot. As one of the world's top megacities, Tokyo is practically uninhabitable without a car, whether by car, train, or public transport.
Sitting in the car, Huayin instructed, "Driver, once we enter the city, just drop me off anywhere. I'll just wander around in that area."
"Yes, Miss." Because of their personal style, most of the staff who work for the Eagle Wind family for a long time are very silent and don't say a word about things they shouldn't ask. Since the young lady has given the order, the driver immediately obeyed and drove Huayin into the city. He then found a place to drop Huayin off at random: "Young lady, we've arrived."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You don't need to pick me up tonight; I'll call a car home myself."
After saying goodbye to the driver, Hanon truly began her... well, her leisurely stroll. Visiting schools all over Tokyo was a huge undertaking, and Hanon wasn't in a rush. She'd see as many as she could in a week or two; at worst, she'd still end up going to Shohoku. Everything was on track.
"I'm going to blow up the school~ The teacher doesn't know~ I pull the string, I run, and with a bang, the school is gone~" Kanon started singing the little tune from her past life again. It has to be said that after winning the championship in the Kengan Tournament's ultimate elimination round and having a deep conversation with Mieko, Kanon has definitely achieved a double success in love and career. Of course, some people feel elated when good things happen. The quietness of the past two days was mainly due to the embarrassment after being bumped into by Kirito, which made Kanon temporarily suppress her passion.
Hanon was having a good time when, without noticing, a figure came around the corner and was about to bump into her—just kidding, with Hanon's skills, even in a distracted state, she wouldn't be touched by an ordinary person. No matter how many drinks she's had, a single peanut wouldn't be enough to cause this!
Hana took a half-step back to avoid the initial impact, then exerted a little force to flip over in front of the person and landed steadily.
"Huh? What's that?"
Hanon's reaction time and movement speed were already extraordinary, while the person around the corner was just an ordinary student. Distracted and nearsighted, he felt a blur before his eyes, as if some shadow had passed by, but in the blink of an eye, the sky was clear again, and there was nothing in front of him.
At this moment, Hana had already seen the person who came. She was a girl wearing a standard school uniform and glasses. Her appearance was ordinary, and she could only be described as cute. She was the kind of female student that you could see everywhere. In fact, because she hadn't developed much yet, it was hard to tell whether she was a junior high school student or a high school student.
Hua Yin cupped her hands in a respectful gesture: "I almost bumped into you just now, be careful, miss... Huh? You're ignoring me?"
It turns out that the girl with glasses was quite carefree. Seeing that there was no one in front of her, she assumed it was just her imagination. Then, thinking that she didn't have enough time to get to school, she got anxious again and started running again. Surprisingly, she ran quite fast.
Hua Yin gasped, "Are young people these days in such a hurry?" Actually, Hua Yin's body is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but with the memories of her previous life, she's not exactly mature and conservative, but she certainly has the senses of a seasoned adult.
“However…” Hana hesitated, “We ran into a female student right away. She looks like she’s probably a high school student. Why don’t we follow her and see which school she goes to?”
When it comes to strolling around, Hanon is quick to act. It's easy for her to follow a young girl; they can walk leisurely and carefree.
Sure enough, the girl with glasses was running late. She ran all the way until she was blocked by a wall covered with warning signs announcing that the road was under construction and temporarily closed.
"This..." The girl with glasses panicked immediately: "I'm going to be late in just a few days since school started? I used to be able to just walk from here." She went up to check the construction site and gave them a detour map: "Damn it, I never heard of any construction going on, but they're making it all so formal, like a meteorite is falling. Judging from this route... I'm definitely going to be late!"
"Why...why did it turn out like this?" The girl with glasses felt her world turn completely gray. She couldn't help but look back on her past life, the past like a dream, each and every event vivid in her mind: "If only I hadn't stayed up all night yesterday playing Assassin's Creed until 3 a.m.
Hana almost burst out laughing. It turned out that this girl had only herself to blame!
"No, no way!" The girl with glasses felt hopeless: "Being late means being publicly punished by standing in the corner, standing with a bunch of delinquents, that doesn't fit my humble philosophy of life!"
...Well, she's actually a rather cute girl.
The girl with glasses didn't spend too much time wallowing in self-pity. She looked around and finally fixed her gaze on a lamppost: "If I climb up here, maybe I can take a shortcut through the roof to school?"
She immediately dismissed the idea: "Wait, wait, did I really play too many games? I'm just a high school girl, not some legendary assassin. I've been influenced by games! Is this what they call 'game brain'... I should just take a detour."
Talking to herself, the girl with glasses turned around and took a few steps. Then she stopped, turned around, took a running start, jumped, and stepped onto the lamppost in one smooth motion, using the momentum to rise all the way up... to the edge of the wall.
"Huh? Hey! Hey hey hey hey!"
The girl with glasses almost fell back down, but after struggling for a while, she climbed back up. When she finally managed to reach the roof, she was already kneeling down, panting heavily.
"...He's completely different from the handsome guy I imagined. Games are games, and reality is reality..."
"But!" The girl with glasses patted her cheeks, perking up again, "Now that we're on the roof, we can take a detour to school. Let's go!"
Just as the girl with glasses was about to take a step forward, she suddenly saw a figure flash in front of her again, but this time it didn't jump behind her, but instead flipped over from behind to stand in front of her—
In a way, this girl with glasses is really interesting! That's it, the first school Hanon will visit is decided!
Author's Note: Going straight to Shohoku? Not really. The part about Kanon choosing a school might not be finished until next week, hehe~
I bought a new computer in the early hours of December 12th, but being broke made me incredibly conflicted. I stayed up until after 3 a.m., but still emptied my bank account. It really hurts... I got up again at 8 a.m. this morning, feeling a bit sleep-deprived, boohoo.
Section 265, Chapter 263: The Assassin Girl
Someone suddenly appeared in front of her, and on the rooftop no less! The girl with glasses immediately tensed up: "Who is it? Could it be a knight from the Holy See?"
...He really has a gaming mindset; he can drive anytime.
However, as the bespectacled girl carefully examined the person before her, she realized that the title "Papal Knight" didn't seem so inappropriate. The girl before her was delicate and beautiful, perhaps around her own age? Yet, her appearance and figure were so stunning that it was difficult to pinpoint her true age. Even the girl's height was remarkable, probably over 1.7 meters! Coupled with a seemingly approachable yet subtly imposing aura, she truly did have the air of a Papal Knight.
Seeing the girl with glasses staring at her blankly, Hana had no choice but to break the awkward silence first: "Um... hello, my name is Ye Hana, I also don't want to take a long detour to school, if you're willing, let's go together."
The girl with glasses suddenly snapped out of her daze and hurriedly introduced herself: "Oh! Report! Mitani Chio... It's me. I'm a first-year high school student at Samejima Academy!"
This young lady, Chio, seemed quite reserved. It seems that whether Kanon was before or after her transmigration, all gamers in the world are equally socially awkward, even if they are girls...
After introducing themselves, the two were finally able to travel together. And let me tell you, going to school on the rooftop was not only smooth and unobstructed, but the air and scenery were also fantastic. A gentle breeze blew, and Hana and Chio felt refreshed and relaxed, naturally becoming more familiar with each other and talking more.
"Kanon, you're not a student at Samejima Academy, are you? I see you're not wearing your school uniform," Chio asked.
Because she is a man at heart, Kanon always dresses in a neutral style, and today is no exception. She is wearing a white shirt, a blazer, and loose trousers, which is obviously different from Chio's sailor uniform.
"Yes, I'm not from Samejima Academy," Kanon honestly admitted.
However, Chio misunderstood, thinking that Kanon was a student from another school: "Your school uniform is quite nice. Could you be a student from the nearby private Chenghua High School? But the girls there seem to wear skirts too... Did you change your lower body?"
Kanon nearly fell over upon hearing this. Chio's words had come true; Kanon really had changed her lower body...
Chio, with her gaming mind, finally came to a strange conclusion: "You're in disguise! In disguise! Just like an assassin in a game—Eek!" Before she could finish speaking, there was an exclamation. Hanon and Chio were walking to a window of a house when the window suddenly opened. Inside, an old man was brushing his teeth and opening the window to breathe in the fresh morning air.
"The weather is so nice, lululu~" The uncle was in a good mood and even hummed a little tune. He didn't see Hana and Chio.
The moment the window opened, Chio immediately lay down on her back, placing her body across the windowsill to avoid the old man's view. As for Kanon, her reaction was far faster than Chio's; she used a quick version of Cosmic Illusion, her body springing far away, leisurely leaving the danger zone.
This is probably the worst use of the Cosmic Illusion, but it's worth it. Kanon was perfectly fine, but when the uncle finished brushing his teeth, closed the window, and went back inside, Chio's face was covered in splashes of water from brushing his teeth...
"Waaah, I really shouldn't have come up to the roof..." Chio regretted it for a full five minutes.
The two continued their "school journey," seeing many scenic views along the way, crossing numerous rugged and sloping rooftops, and even encountering several stray cats sunbathing. Finally, they arrived at the rooftop of a flat-roofed house, with no other path around and the buildings in front of them far away. It seemed that their only option was to climb down the wall.
"No, no, no, I don't want to!" Seeing that Hanon was about to go down without saying a word, Chio quickly grabbed her: "Doing this will be too conspicuous! People will think you're a weirdo!"
"Huh?" Huayin was stunned. Clearly, as a social person who had transmigrated, she did not quite understand the unique sense of honor and shame of young people.
Qianxu explained, "Everyone has a cell phone now. Be careful someone takes pictures and posts them online. Then our classmates at school will laugh at us and call us yellow-skinned monkeys, yellow-skinned monkeys..." Qianxu became more and more excited as she spoke, and she even imagined that bizarre scene: "Wow! You are clearly yellow people too!"
"In short, I absolutely cannot go down in crowded places."
As the two women were struggling with their dilemma, a balloon floated up beside them and got stuck in a tree branch. It turned out that a little boy had accidentally let go of it. The boy pulled at his mother, trying to figure out how to get the balloon out, while his mother asked a tall man passing by for help. Unexpectedly, the man rudely refused and even laughed at the mother and son.
"If you get my Armani suit dirty while I'm helping you with the balloons, what will you do? It's a custom-made suit that costs 53 yen! Can you afford to pay for it?" As he spoke, the guy stuck his tongue out at the little boy, his expression extremely lewd: "And this expensive handbag of mine is worth 23 yen! With all my high-class clothes, I don't have time to pick up your balloons, you brat, get lost."
"Damn it, what a scumbag!" Chio was furious. "People like that deserve to be hit with a brick! Even so... I don't actually have anything here. Is being trapped on the roof my fate...? I don't want that!"
Chio saw some pebbles on the roof and immediately thought of a plan: "I can use the pebbles to distract the pervert, then step on his face and jump to the other side!" This girl's "game brain" completely ignored the feasibility of the idea: "Hmm, let's do it! And while we're at it, we'll tie a stone to the balloon and sink it for the kids."
After deciding to do so, Chio turned to Kanon: "Hey, Kanon, I... eh?" Before she could finish speaking, Kanon had already picked Chio up around the waist and carried her forward at high speed. Before she could figure out what was happening, she felt her body lighten and was carried by Kanon to the opposite rooftop.
At the same time, Hana threw two small pebbles at the lewd man. The pebbles were incredibly powerful and hit his nerve endings, causing him to writhe on the ground in pain and look utterly pathetic.
Finally, even the balloon was tied with pebbles and floated down, where it was caught by the little boy.
The boy's mother was very puzzled: "What...what's going on?"
The boy spotted Kanon and Chio and excitedly pointed in the direction they had gone: "They're assassins! I've seen them in the games my dad plays!"
Indeed, in terms of skill, Kanon is comparable to the assassins in the game. Moreover, having just finished the elimination tournament, she is still used to resorting to fists at the slightest disagreement. While Chio was still hesitating, Kanon had already decided to take action.
Once this hurdle is overcome, going to Chio's school will be a breeze. Kanon put Chio down, and the bespectacled girl's eyes were already sparkling: "Wow, wow, Kanon, you're amazing!"
"Uh, it's alright." Hanon scratched her head, feeling that she had gone a bit too far, and silently reminded herself to be more careful next time.
