Recusal Principal
Cooperation?
Ichijō Mirai maintains his military stance, slowly raises his eyebrows, looks towards Morofushi Hiromitsu's back, and with the acumen of a gamer immediately responds, "Yes."
He inquired, "Is there anything you need from me?"
First, it was not kill a chicken at the entrance of the village, second, it was not to send a letter to the blacksmith shop owner to reject his confession, and even less was it to retrieve the iron pickaxe that was lost in the mine outside the village.
Morofushi Hiromitsu is a freshman at the police academy. So: "Have you ever encountered an unforgettable murder case?"
"Want me to help you investigate? Yes."
Ichijō Mirai was quite direct, with no sense of basic manners or propriety.
So direct that Morofushi Hiromitsu was taken aback for a moment, and risked turning his head to look at Ichijō Mirai, while most of the people were taking a break and the disciplinarian was no longer paying attention to this side of the room.
He appeared to be in his early twenties, very young, his eyes were not sharpened by the offense, and he seemed to have a good temper.
Even though he had been standing in military posture for a long time, until his legs were numb and his body was sweating and his face was pale, he still smiled gently, "Kujō-san is really interesting and very perceptive."
"Why do you ask that? Do I look like I'm carrying something?"
Not really.
But along with that question, there was a system alert.
[Quest detected: 'Unknown Past - Morofushi Hiromitsu'.]
[Quest Details: Every fatal turn in life is shrouded in thick darkness that cannot be completely dispersed until the sun rises, but mankind can embrace the warmth of the long dark night.]
[Quest Reward: Low-level Painkillers +1.]
Just like Wataru Date's quest, there was only one painkiller.
Ichijō Mirai glanced at the task prompt and was about to answer the question with a serious face and nonsense, but Morofushi Hiromitsu smiled and said, "I don't know why Instructor Onidzuka doesn't want you to join the police academy, but I think that reason must not be the two reasons he has already given."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't want to deny admission to the academy to someone so sharp that he was a natural born police officer."
"'A natural born police officer', 'was rejected from the police academy for some reason, but persisted in ignoring it'," Furuya Rei added without looking back, "To use some people's words, Kujō-san, you are probably 'a stubborn person'."
Some people?
Ichijō Mirai raised his eyebrows again, and 'some people' spoke up, "Tsk."
"It's really annoying," Matsuda Jinpei said, raising his watch and striding towards the discipline officer to register, "I actually ran into two stubborn guys, each more annoying than the other."
Kenji Hagiwara smiled back, opened his mouth to explain, then gave up, "What this guy said was too misleading."
"We will report to the dormitory first. See you in the dormitory, classmates."
They left the formation.
"I don't know why, but Jinpei-san seems to have a problem with me, but he seems to have a problem with you too," Furuya Rei shrugged his shoulders, "It seems to be the obsession with the police, and didn't this guy enter the academy to become a police officer himself?"
"I don't get it."
It's confusing, but it doesn't matter, it's the mission's flavor.
Regardless of friendly NPCs or unfriendly NPCs, the ones who can provide quests are good NPCs.
Ichijō Mirai moved his eyes, restrained his hunting state like a prairie wolf staring at its prey, and inquired coldly, "Maybe there's some unknown past, Furuya-san, what's your unknown past?"
There were a total of five NPCs who didn't look like passersby, Wataru Date had a quest, Morofushi Hiromitsu had a quest, Matsuda Jinpei looked like he had a quest, but what about Furuya Rei?
Furuya Rei was stunned and stared at Ichijō Mirai for a moment.
A system alert popped up: [Quest detected: 'Unknown Past - Furuya Rei'.]
[Quest Detail: Every person who can't be warmed up by a group has an unforgettable experience, a burning lamp that burns the moths that try to spread their wings, and a bright streetlamp that illuminates life's aspirations...]
[Quest Reward: Low-level Painkillers +1.]
Huh, this quest hint...
Ichijō Mirai immediately checked the quest bar in the upper left corner, clicked on the details of the current quests, and realized that the quests in the 'Unknown' series were almost interconnected.
In other words: the two NPCs who went to register definitely have quests on them!
He raised his eyes and looked far away, trying to find the mission that he was gradually leaving.
The road to the school is always wide and smooth. Matsuda Jinpei and his friend had just finished standing at attention for three hours and were walking very slowly.
Matsuda Jinpei, who was walking and moving his body, suddenly stopped and turned his head, probably realizing that there was a distinctive line of sight falling on his back.
They stared at each other for a second.
Matsuda Jinpei waved his fist, turned his head back, and continued walking.
Ichijō Mirai heard a system alert: [Quest detected: 'Unknown Past - Matsuda Jinpei'.]
[Quest Details: Everyone who has ever walked in the bright light has a deep understanding of the darkness beyond the light, it is not only the light that shows the way, sometimes it is the darkness, and justice is a contagious miracle...]
[Quest Reward: Low-level Painkillers +1.]
Five NPCs, four quests.
One of the NPCs didn't communicate enough, and the quest hasn't been triggered yet.
Ichijō Mirai opened the save file and took a look, resisting the urge to go back to the save file to harass the NPC: I have been standing there for so long, if I go back to the save file, wouldn't it be a waste of more than ten minutes?
He stopped dead in his tracks.
Onidzuka Hachizo finished shooting with the freshman, put the freshman who missed all ten shots into the military formation, and simply announced the end of the break, "Assemble."
"Stand in your original positions, there's no need to rearrange them, and leave the empty positions as they are."
"What are you all standing for? Are you standing in a military posture?" He frowned and inspected the military posture formation. "You are just standing there tensely."
It's not just 'standing tensely', it's also 'standing tensely, looking like he's barely standing, but actually leaning all over the place and wanting to fall to the ground and rest'.
Onidzuka Hachizo frowned as he looked down, realizing that there were only a handful of people who stood in a decent position.
He walked through the military posture formation and stopped in front of Furuya Rei and Morofushi Hiromitsu. "Have you ever practiced military posture?"
And again in front of Wataru Date, "Practiced."
"I know your father," Onidzuka Hachizo looked at Wataru Date for a few more times, not quite understanding his suddenly tense expression, "He behaved well, worthy of being Officer Wataru's child."
He stepped forward, stopping in front of Ichijō Mirai, scrutinizing him carefully and speaking slowly, "You..."
"Never stood in a military position."
When Onidzuka Hachizo said this, his tone was not very surprising. Combined with the previous words, we can analyze the information of Ichijō: this instructor knew that the parents of the "player" died when he was seven years old, and he did not receive much professional training from his police officer parents.
The next words were in a tone of surprise, "Have you ever been punished to stand?"
Ichijō Mirai stood straight.
It is similar to the upright posture of a military officer, standing straight and silent, but the force points and muscle tension points are different. Compared with standing at attention, it is more like standing in punishment.
Standing facing the wall as punishment.
Hearing this, Ichijō Mirai was somewhat surprised at Onidzuka Hachizo's intelligence. He nodded and simply admitted, "Yes."
-In prison, when faced with very difficult criminals, after trying ineffective methods such as ostracizing, suppressing, and instigating fights, the prison guards can only choose the simplest punishment, which is to lock them up in a small dark room.
In some individual prisons, there is only enough room for one person to stand.
Onidzuka Hachizo: "You..."
He locked eyes with Ichijō Mirai and hovered for a moment before saying, "You shouldn't have come to the academy."
"If you can't stand for three hours, you will be eliminated. All freshmen who can't stand for three hours will be eliminated," Onidzuka Hachizo lowered his voice in the military posture formation, his expression still solemn, "You stand for three hours, but the quality is not up to standard..."
He gestured to Ichijō Mirai to look at the large area of people standing crookedly around him, "Then all those who fail to stand at attention will be eliminated."
Ichijō Mirai raised an eyebrow.
"Others can get 60 points, 50 points, or even 40 points to enter the police academy, but you must get 90 points to enter the police academy," Onidzuka Hachizo said sincerely, "You must maintain your current posture without deforming and stand for three hours to pass the assessment. The discipline officer will keep an eye on you."
"But, standing for that long, even if you can rest in the middle of it, your injury..."
He whispered, "Give up."
"Inspector Ichijō wouldn't want to see you try too hard, and you don't want to see her upset, do you?"
"Your file is linked to your parents' file," Onidzuka Hachizo lowered his voice to the lowest possible level, barely moving his mouth, and the sound was forced out, "after your parents died..."
Before he could say the full story about the death of your parents, he changed his words in time, "The police will not allow you to enter the police academy until that unsolved case is solved."
Even if the case is closed, it will not be allowed.
After the tragic death of an elite police officer and the disappearance of his only son, the police first thought that the murderer was a convict, but found out that the murderer was suspected to be an insider of the police.
It's a case that, in the eyes of some police executives, no matter who the real culprit is, the murderer must be a convict, never a police officer, and it's a case of shame.
Ichijō Mirai, the only survivor of the case and the only one who clearly recognizes the shame, is an eyesore.
Onidzuka Hachizo didn't analyze this unspeakable matter in depth, but only said, "Even if you join the police academy today, you'll only face more targets in the future that will make you opt out, as a '
"Even if you are an excellent 90 points."
