Chapter 112 Candidates
It was a rare opportunity for Ace to have external motivation to study, so Moriogai arranged a set of courses for him without further ado, hoping that he would be more well-behaved.
However, this set of courses only includes Chinese and social studies - although the latter also includes history, geography and civic education, the content is a bit broader.
(Note: Junior high school version.) High school is still too difficult for Ace who has no basic knowledge. Rather, Ace's Chinese language level, which is based on elementary school, was taught by Moriogai when he first came to this world, so that he would not make mistakes and was strictly supervised.
Moriou didn't arrange anything for Ace except science-related content. Firstly, Ace would never find a place where he would need it in the future; secondly, with Ace's IQ and knowledge base, it would be too difficult for him to learn these things; thirdly, he didn't have such high requirements for Ace as Weilun had for himself, and he didn't plan to ask Ace to go to university, so he could just take it easy.
For children, learning too much or being too strict may make them hate learning or arouse their rebelliousness. The purpose of Moriogai is to use learning to keep Ace on track and reduce the possibility of him getting into trouble outside, so naturally, it will not put too much pressure on him.
Unlike Weierlaan who bought online lessons for Chuuya Nakahara because he thought his level was not good enough, Mori Ougai did it purely because he had no time to teach. Besides, with Ace's current status, it would not be appropriate to just find two more educated members of the organization to teach him - the leader's "son" is already an adult but still has an elementary school education, and even his partial subjects are not very good. Mori Ougai would also feel a little embarrassed.
With this in mind, Moriogai chose the same teaching method as Weierlun—he also arranged online classes for Ace, with homework. Then he asked Guangjin Liulang to supervise the completion of his homework every time Ace went offline.
So now Ace's visits to Yumeno Hisasaku's place have been greatly reduced. Instead, he often goes to Nakahara Chuuya's house, and the two brothers sit together to do their homework. Ace, who should have been on Verlaine's side, has now not only fallen to Nakahara Chuuya's side, but sometimes he has to ask Nakahara Chuuya for help when he encounters a question he doesn't know how to answer.
Chuuya Nakahara used to be very envious of Ace, who used to go out and have a very comfortable life every time he logged off from Chief Mori. But now seeing that Ace has to worry about schoolwork and homework just like himself, he feels a little sympathetic, but not much, and even a bit of schadenfreude, similar to the feeling of relief that when I'm unlucky, there's someone to share my misfortunes with, and I suddenly feel relieved.
Of course, it would be better if there wasn’t some bluefin fry named Dazai Osamu who would suddenly appear from time to time and laugh at you, saying, “You can’t even answer such a simple question? That’s so stupid!”
Although Ace was very troubled in learning, the effect was very gratifying. He became more and more confident as a teacher in front of Akutagawa Ryunosuke - he is now considered a cultured person!
Mori Ogai was also very happy, after all, Ace's frequency of causing trouble has dropped sharply during this period. Although it is still inevitable to cause some trouble, it is much better than before!
And the undercover agent Sakaguchi who was sent to Europe has also made new progress.
Just like when Japan was completely defeated in the Superpower War, it blamed Mori Ogai and expelled him from the military. Other countries also had the same situation, and some were even worse than Mori Ogai.
The reason why Mori Ogai became an underground black doctor was not only to secretly search for targets for the implementation of Sanke's concept, but also because he was disappointed with the government. With such a huge scandal on his file, all the formal career windows were closed to him, and he had no way to pass the review of a formal hospital to be admitted.
After all the legitimate career paths in society were blocked, he could only work as an underground black doctor.
The group that Ango Sakaguchi infiltrated in Europe was even more unlucky and miserable than him. The mercenary organization named Mimic was also a military organization, but it was involved in the illicit transactions of its superior officers and was hunted down by its former comrades as a traitor. As a result, it led its remaining troops to travel to various countries as mercenaries.
Although it was an organization that originated from the French army, Ango Sakaguchi was in Germany when he went undercover.
However, the identity background of this team is really useful to the current port mafia!
——Yokohama is the region with the weakest government jurisdiction in the country, and it is also the most open region. Coupled with some historical issues, it is difficult for local officials in Yokohama to take any effective measures against foreigners entering Yokohama.
Foreigners have great power in Yokohama. As long as they do not openly provoke the government or attack the Yokohama government, neither the Special Forces Division, the Yokohama Police Station, nor the military have any reason to take action against these foreigners. Otherwise, it will easily cause international disputes.
Furthermore, Mimic has a French military background, which makes his identity even more sensitive. He is a target that the Yokohama government cannot easily deal with.
However, for the Port Mafia, this is a very suitable target for exploitation.
There are too many things in Yokohama that are not suitable for the government to take action against compared to other places. The leader of Mimic is a person with special abilities and is carrying controlled thermal weapons, which poses a great threat to social stability. However, this is a target that the government is not suitable to intervene in. In today's Yokohama, the only Yokohama organization that can fight against such an organization is the Port Mafia. At this time, it has to be said that Ango Sakaguchi's special abilities are really useful. He quickly found out the special abilities of Mimic's leader Andrew Kidd.
Kidou also has a predictive ability, which is very similar to Dazai's friend Oda Sakunosuke, and Ace can also achieve the same effect. As for other organizations in Yokohama, there is no one who can effectively deal with this ability.
After confirming that they have the ability to take down Mimic, the remaining thing is how to introduce Mimic to Yokohama. Only by letting these foreigners enter Yokohama can the Port Mafia make deals with the authorities and let Mori Owl get what they want. Once outside this scope, it is useless for the Port Mafia to take action against Mimic. After all, it will not cause harm to the mainland, and the authorities will not recognize the achievements of the Port Mafia; in other parts of the country, the military and the police have reasons and room to take action.
After a brief thought, Mori Ogai asked Sakaguchi Ango's informant to convey Sakaguchi Ango's new mission order - to find out Mimic's goals, their weaknesses, and what their desires are.
…
Soon, it was January.
Wei Erlain went to take the college entrance examination again.
After the reunion, the relationship between him and Lan Tang, who had lived as neighbors for a year and a half, had eased a little, and this time he happened to be there to send him to the exam.
When Nakahara Chuuya heard that he was going to take the college entrance examination again, he didn't know whether he should be relieved or feel complicated, but there were always people who were more nervous than him and Weilun, the one who was actually taking the college entrance examination, such as Taneda Santouhuo.
As soon as the college entrance examination registration was opened, he immediately sent people to check whether Verlaine was among the candidates. Sure enough, Verlaine's fake identity was found =-=
Farming on the mountain fire suddenly became difficult.
Verlaine must be treated specially. In order to prevent the situation that happened half a year ago from happening again, which paralyzed their examination team again, Zhongtian Shantouhuo gave the higher-ups an idea, asking them to do some shady manipulation on Verlaine's scores and change his scores to a higher level so that he could get into a prestigious foreign university.
As for the exams after entering school... that is a problem they should face :)
…
The New Year holiday had just ended, and on New Year's Eve Ace called all the people in the organization who had good connections to have a big dinner together. Except for the colonel who was unable to make it back because of problems in the branch in the United States, everyone else was there.
However, after the holiday, the accumulated work had to be solved with double the efforts, so everyone suddenly became very busy. Even Ace was back to the time when he just discovered that his supernatural power could give him a body - Mori Ogai asked him to work overtime again.
"…Mimic? What is this? Hmm…a foreign organization? From Europe. Hmm…it's already moving towards Yokohama…"
Ace was not aware of the hidden information revealed in the wording of this report. He just asked curiously, "I don't know what kind of person the leader of their organization is and whether he is powerful."
The meaning of this information is actually to inform Mori Yugai that things have developed as he expected, and Mimic has been successfully attracted to Yokohama. This is what Mori Yugai himself did intentionally, not that Mimic himself had any intention towards Yokohama.
Sen Ouwai was not surprised that he didn't notice it, because he had put the report on the table after reading it and thought there was no problem with it.
[It is said that his ability is foresight, but the strength is not very strong, probably the same effect as when you use Observation Haki. ]
"Wow—" Ace became interested, "Is he good at fighting?"
[Mimic was a soldier before, but now he is a mercenary. He has been able to survive for such a long time under the pursuit of the French government, so he is obviously very powerful.]
Moriogai did not hide the matter of Mimic from Ace, or rather, he let Ace know on purpose.
Although the ability of prediction is tricky, if you rely on your strength to crush the enemy and leave him no room to escape, you can also achieve the effect of killing the enemy. However, just for the sake of discipline, letting Nakahara Chuuya take action is a bit too much for him. Nakahara Chuuya's actions are often very loud, and the destructive power is too strong in Yokohama. If it is still in the territory of the port mafia, it means that Mori Owl's wallet will shrink again.
Moreover, the situation in Italy is chaotic. Chuuya Nakahara has flown there countless times in the past six months to solve problems, and he will have another flight to Italy the night after tomorrow. There are people in Yokohama who can solve the problem, so there is no need to bother Chuuya Nakahara. It is more in line with the best solution for him to solve the problem in Italy.
The problem now is the selection of personnel. Mori Ogai has two people who can deal with Kid, and he is considering whether to use Ace or Oda Sakunosuke.
