There is a lot of information, Ichijō Mirai summarizes the key points:
[Because the death case of the player's parents is set up with many strange things, it cannot be investigated in detail. If it is investigated in detail, it will damage the reputation of the police, so the police refuse to allow the player to join the police camp.]
The "Recusal Principal" generally means that when a case is related to oneself or one's relatives, the police concerned need to avoid participating in the investigation of the case.
What Onidzuka Hachizo is referring to is clearly not that, but rather the conflict between 'the only surviving person who knows' and 'the shame of the police', and as long as the former exists, the latter is the sun in the sky, and it is clearly unethical for some to see it as a blinding glare.
-So, Onidzuka Hachizo disclosed it when he shouldn't have.
Because he didn't think it was normal, just, or reasonable, but he had no right to overrule the decision.
Ichijō Mirai was surprised.
He had thought that the police academy had ostracized him mostly because they had found out that he had something to do with the fat officer's death, but he hadn't realized that...
This kind of storyline is clearly unrealistic, and just as unlikely to happen in reality as the police cowering in fear and letting thugs go instead of arresting them as a matter of urgency.
Ichijō Mirai doesn't know much about the Japanese police in reality, but the Japanese police in the game are clearly at the bottom of the police hierarchy, and if there were a forum for the game, it would be tweeted about 999+ times a day by gamers.
But let me do it again: Dad beats his son, it's a family affair.
"Instructor Onidzuka," Ichijō Mirai refused to comment on the police, only thinking from the perspective of the character played by the player in the current plot, "I quit the police academy, left the police force, and became an ordinary person from then on,"
"Can I live in peace?"
Onidzuka Hachizo didn't say anything.
"Not joining the academy," Ichijō Mirai said slowly, "would be the same as giving up on revenge with my own hands, and every second after that, 'I' would be unhappy."
He also lowered his voice to the lowest level, just a breath, so that only Onidzuka Hachizo could hear it, while paying attention to the other party's expression, estimating the progress of his ally.
Yes, 'ally'.
Onidzuka Hachizo clearly doesn't agree with some people's decisions, so with a little bit of seduction from the player, he'll jump into the player's camp.
It's a friendly NPC delivered right to your doorstep.
The game officials almost directly labeled this instructor as [the insider who leaked information to the players]. If Ichijō Mirai doesn't get it, he will be sorry for this instructor.
"Instructor Onidzuka," Ichijō Mirai raised his voice a bit, no longer in an airy tone, but in a whisper, "If it were you, what would you choose to do?"
He stared intently at Onidzuka Hachizo's expression and slowly said, "I had no choice."
Onidzuka Hachizo: "..."
Onidzuka Hachizo noticed that Ichijō Mirai was looking at him directly, which was quite aggressive, but he did not look over, but avoided him.
Shaken.
"Thank you for telling me all this," Ichijō Mirai appropriately loosened up again, trying to keep his tone in line with some of the player settings of 'having lost his father and mother since childhood', "You actually know that I only have one choice, don't you."
"Thank you."
"Even though you're discouraging me, your attitude gives me some support, and there are times when I often wonder if I'm really doing something wrong."
"...Thank you."
Onidzuka Hachizo: "..."
He stood there, expression tense and silent for a few seconds, then walked away stiffly, as if he had been standing in military posture for three hours.
From a distance, his back looked like he was running away.
Ichijō Mirai heard the system's prompt: [Task detected: 'Loyalty Unto Death·0'.]
[Mission Requirement: Convince Instructor Onidzuka further to obtain a stable channel of information.]
[Mission Reward: Low-level Painkillers +1.]
The second one is: [Task detected: 'Loyalty Unto Death·①']
[Mission details: In this age of the survival of the fittest, those who are not strong enough will be eaten up. Countless people have abandoned their principles and bottom lines and entered the bubble carnival, but there are still some people who stick to their bottom line.]
[Requirements: Complete 'Loyalty Unto Death·0' and join the police academy successfully.]
[Mission Reward: Low-level Painkillers +1.]
...Why are there still only Low-level Painkillers!
Ichijō Mirai stared at the mission reward, and stared at a line that read: [Note: This mission is a series of missions, and the rewards tend to increase gradually.]
It's okay.
He looked up again at Onidzuka Hachizo.
Onidzuka Hachizo was talking to the discipline officer, his body still somewhat stiff and uncomfortably avoiding the military formation, with most of his back facing the freshmen.
Next to him, Wataru Date inquired in a low voice, "What were you talking about?"
"I saw that Instructor Onidzuka's face was very serious... It's the same as what that Morofushi-san said, if you need to cooperate, you can tell me."
There was a pause and a hard turn in his speech, apparently starting out with something like 'I can help you' and then shifting to something more mutual.
"He said it's hard to stand in the military position," Ichijō Mirai breathed out, moving his shoulders and leg muscles with no trace of movement, "and told me to be good at it or the other students who don't do it well will have to drop out with me."
He smiled, "I'm ready."
If ninety points isn't okay...what about a hundred points?
If some people in the police force are worried that the death of a police officer is a disgrace to the police force and that making it public will lower the dignity of the police force, then will it also lower the dignity of the police force if the police academy refuses to accept him if he is so outstanding?
Then they had no other choice.
Ichijō Mirai stood up, his eyes swept over the countdown of the pain-killer in the status bar, and silently counted the time he had been standing in his mind: twenty-three minutes.
For 23 minute, Ichijō Mirai remained motionless.
33 minutes, Ichijō Mirai remained motionless.
43 minutes, Ichijō Mirai remained motionless.
53 minutes, halftime, Ichijō Mirai remained motionless.
63 minute...
7-...
83 minutes, halftime, Ichijō Mirai remained motionless.
93...
103...
113 minutes, halftime, Ichijō Mirai remained motionless.
The concentration of instructors nearby was increasing. They were patrolling around with serious expressions. Onidzuka Hachizo frowned tightly, hiding all his worries.
Among the people who were resting, the only thing that occupied their attention was not only 'resting', but also Ichijō Mirai.
During the first break, Ichijō Mirai did not rest, and they talked about the person who did not rest. During the second break, Ichijō Mirai did not rest, and they looked at Ichijō Mirai a few more times and talked about the instructor's attitude for a while.
During the third break, Ichijō Mirai did not take a break. They changed from chatting to being more serious, and spent eight of the ten minutes humming in low voices.
During the fourth break, Ichijō Mirai still didn't rest. They all sat on the ground in silence, looking at Ichijō Mirai's upright figure. The total amount of conversation was reduced to less than a minute.
143 minutes.
Onidzuka Hachizo walked into the military formation, his eyes swept over the group of freshmen, not looking at Ichijō Mirai, "It's time for this round of rest, everyone take a rest first."
The military formation did not move immediately. No matter where they were standing, the freshmen subconsciously looked at Ichijō Mirai first. They saw Ichijō Mirai, who was as motionless as ever.
"I said," Onidzuka Hachizo didn't look at Ichijō Mirai, staring at the freshmen in the last row, "It's break time."
"If you need to rest, take a rest. Why are you standing all the time? Do you want your legs to be disabled?"
The freshmen dispersed hesitantly, and Ichijō Mirai didn't move at all.
Onidzuka Hachizo: "...You..."
153 minutes, the formation was resumed.
Compared to the beginning, the military formation was no longer so crooked, and the freshmen who had been standing for a long time were no longer so depressed that they wanted to lie down. They tried to stand up straight and cheer up.
163 minutes.
It wasn't time for a break yet, but Onidzuka Hachizo clapped his hands and said, "You've been standing for so long, you must be tired, right? Today, the instructors will teach you how to relieve your fatigue."
"Come down and rest, we'll show you how to move your legs and backs, you'll get a bad aftertaste if you keep tensing up."
Instead of taking a break, the first reaction of the new students was to look at Ichijō Mirai.
Ichijō Mirai didn't move.
Onidzuka Hachizo: "..."
173 minutes.
The instructors brought in chairs and drinking water, and called for a break at the appointed time.
Onidzuka Hachizo doesn't ask Ichijō Mirai to take a break again, but instead gives him a look that tells him to hold on.
180 minutes.
The countdown on Ichijō Mirai's wrist reached zero. There was no warning sound, and only a few instructors knew the approximate sight line when the countdown reached zero. However, within a dozen seconds before and after it reached zero, everyone's eyes unconsciously looked at Ichijō Mirai without any communication.
Like the tide moved by the moon.
Onidzuka Hachizo: "New students who have arrived on time should come to register."
He was ready to catch Ichijō Mirai if he fell, and the other instructors were also standing around with chairs and drinking water, ready.
Ichijō Mirai didn't move a muscle.
Onidzuka Hachizo frowns and strides over to him, "You..."
Ichijō Mirai archives, raises his eyes and smiles, "There are still people standing."
"We are part of a group, we are companions. I will not abandon anyone and will stand with the last person until all my companions have completed their mission."
One hundred points.
