Episode 17 Adieu!

After so many troubles Nico caused and protests from girls she raised at school, Miss White started

considering the solution every single day. She can't expell Nico from her sanctuary, school, the perfect

institution for her utopia, for no concrete evidence. Nico was just horribly annoying yet she did work hard

at her studies, gaining quite good reputation among teachers on academic performance. For Miss White,

that was another irritating fact. She needed to come up with something drastic, something mind-blowing

idea even to Nico in order to upset the situation. Nico had become a pillar of mischief, independence,

freedom at an old empire where traditions and morals used to rule. Miss White couldn't stand to see her

comfortably perfect world trembling in the balance beacuse of the girl. But she didn't have a clue what to

do with a girl with instant popularity not only among students but also among her co-workers. More

laughters in a classroom, more cheeky smiles on faces, more interactions between teachers and students, more discussions, more accidents, more problems, more protests. In other words, full of life, messy but

exciting one was back to school. Things become out of control in her view.

 

Our mind works strangely. When you constantly pay attention on a subject, an answer pops out

unexpectedly.

That's what happend on Miss White: Aha moment finally hit her. That was when Nico's team won the first

prise in a competition for a play that the English department organized as the core attraction of their

project in English education. Nico's group performed revised version of The Sound Of Music, having Nico

playing Maria quite comically yet eloquently. That gave the play a bit of reality, fresh appearance and

sense of entertainment. Also the effort and enthusiasm of all the cast of characters in her group were

undoubtedly evident. Consequently, they got the first prize unanimously.

 

Miss White didn't miss a chance to get rid of that trouble factor from her realm artfully. She congratuated

Nico as she planted a wild seed of dream into her mind. Which was the possibility to explore somewhere

she had never been, somewhere the whole new world of freedom awaited, somewhere called the united

states of America, the land of liberty! How can a girl like Nico ignore such a wild idea? Miss White

recommended her to apply for the exchange student program. It would give her one year of total freedom

and a chance to get back to her classmates if she wants to. It was the exact bottom she needed to push

to send Nico away.

Fun-loving adventuous girl's heart started dancing around with so much expectations and infinite

possibilities. Nico worked harder than ever in her entire life to be entitled to the incredible opportunity and

got the ticket to freedom.
