Arkham in the pirate world

Nami poked Nokigao and said in surprise: "Nokigao, that Ivici has graduated."

"Well, he happened to be 16 years old and passed the assessment." Noqigao nodded.

The 24 graduates mostly come from classes with higher numbers and an average age of over 14 years old. Although it only lasts for one year, they have learned a lot, and the intensity is far more than that of children under 10 years old.

Through class activities, we also made friends with each other. On the occasion of parting, on the one hand, there is longing for the future, on the other hand, there is nostalgia for the past. There will always be various emotions brewing in my heart.

After handing over their diplomas, all the graduates sat down in the empty seats in the front row. Liszt tapped the microphone and the auditorium became quiet.

The college auditorium was built according to the standards of an opera house, using advanced audio, lighting, etc. purchased from the Navy Headquarters through Branch 16, and wind power generation equipment was designed by Professor Albert of the Department of Scientific Research.

These islands are quite common in the technologically advanced islands of the Grand Line, but in the East China Sea, they have become rare.

"Today, I am very happy to stand here as your principal to see off 24 outstanding graduates. First of all, I would like to thank all the professors and teachers for their efforts over the past year. It is you who have taught these outstanding students. I I have always believed that education is a sacred and great cause. Then, I would like to thank all the staff for their hard work to make Arkham College better. Finally, I would also like to thank all the students for their hard work and create the atmosphere of Arkham College. Good vibes. Thank you”

Liszt applauded, and there was a burst of applause from the audience. When the applause dispersed, he continued: "Today next year, I hope to still be standing here to see off more graduates."

"Today, no matter what you have learned here, I hope you can be proud of the college, because it provides you with an opportunity to change your destiny. You can sit here quietly, read textbooks, and learn knowledge , you are the lucky ones, you have more possibilities than other people of your age."

"Tomorrow, no matter what kind of work you will do, the college will be proud of you. Yes, you will be the pride of Arkham College and my pride. Even if you become a pirate, a farmer, or Please don’t forget it when doing other work.”

"Don't forget the motto of Arkham Academy, to be a useful person"

“Don’t forget, no matter how successful you are, always remain humble and grateful.”

"Don't forget that you were once a member of Arkham Academy. There are many younger generations who are watching you. You will be their role models."

The graduates in the front row seemed to feel the gazes on them, and they couldn't help but puff up their chests, filled with pride.

Even the usually weakest student blushed at this moment.

"I will remember each of you, and the college will remember each of you. I hope that five or ten years from now, you will have become useful people and still remember this day and be able to proudly say that I have never Graduation from Arkham Academy"

Applause roared.

Liszt looked at every student with a smile, and every student he saw tried to straighten his back.

The long-lasting applause stopped when he pressed down his hands. He looked to the left side of the auditorium and said: "Today, there is a lovely girl who has some words that I hope to tell you. Next, I would like to invite Karina from the special class. "

Liszt applauded and walked to the other side, while Karina, wearing a princess tutu and a bow hairpin, came to the center of the stage holding a microphone in both hands.

"Ah Karina" Nami glared.

"What is she going to do?"

The students in the special class all know this cute little witch who is known as the special class thief duo with Nami.

Of course, that was already at the beginning of school. At that time, Karina had just arrived and she was used to taking things along. When she talked to you, she might take your things away.

However, she didn't mean it and would apologize afterwards. Plus she's young and cute, so it's hard to care too much.

After the teacher's persuasion and education, and everyone's help, the situation improved a lot, but the nickname of the thieves duo still spread.

Nokigao thought for a while and said half-jokingly: "I saw that she often goes to the office building recently, and she is also sneaking around. I thought she went there to attack the teachers."

Liszt sat next to Robin and found the girl on the stage looking at her, smiling and giving her an encouraging look, and applauded her.

Karina looked at the audience, where there were teachers and classmates, and she closed her eyes.

Back in mid-August, one day, Karina walked into the principal’s office with Meryl.

Karina thought she was going to be reprimanded and was extremely nervous. She was even more afraid that Liszt would kick her out of the academy.

Although she has only been here for half a year, Karina already likes it here. She doesn't have to worry about whether she has a good meal or being beaten up, and she has friends who get along well with her.

Unexpectedly, Liszt not only did not scold her, but also gently asked her how she was adapting to college life.

After caring about her, Liszt asked her to sing two children's songs. Meryl smiled and praised her for her beautiful voice.

Then, Liszt gave her a song and asked her to learn it, hoping that she would sing it at the graduation ceremony.

Karina took a deep breath and opened her eyes. The lights in the auditorium dimmed and soothing music sounded. Six professors provided the music for Karina.

Don't think that scholars can only do research. The real scholars of this era are all elegant people who are good at cultivating sentiments. People like Wisdom and others are from the nobility of the West Sea. They have received a good aristocratic education and are not proficient in music. , at least practice it and you can play it.

Because if you don’t have any background, you don’t have time to study, and you still need to learn it carefully.

"Where am I now?"

Karina spoke along with the music. She had rehearsed with the professors several times, but her voice was still slightly hoarse due to nervousness when she first appeared on the stage.

"Repeatedly stare at the footsteps I have passed. Holding the dead leaves in my arms, I draw my dreams with my frozen fingertips by the window in the growing autumn mood."

As the song progressed, she immersed herself in the music and her voice gradually became clearer.

"You may have wings, but you don't spread them to fly. All you have left is fear and bitterness when you are alone."

Karina thought of her lonely past, the days when she was forced to steal on the streets.

If you don't steal enough Baileys every day, you won't be able to eat, and you may even be locked in a dark room and beaten up by the leader of the thieves.

I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, and the sadness spread throughout the auditorium through the singing.

The first batch of students at Arkham Academy came from villages and towns that were once ravaged by the Dragon Pirates. Everyone has painful memories, like Nami, Noki, etc., when the infectious singing spreads, mixed with Some girls were already sobbing slightly at the sadness of parting.

There are not only four seasons in a year: east, summer, autumn and winter, but also graduation season. It is short, but it will be a beautiful memory that many people will cherish throughout their lives.
