Maybe it was because two adult men with very different styles got out of Little Pink, so the boys and girls in the Leipte parking lot looked here twice. Yes, two, one Zach and one Sam.
"I hate teenagers." Sam.
"Then, don't follow me." Zach.
"No." A fruitless conversation.
As soon as Alice and Maya were taken away by Laura, the principal of Reiput came out to welcome them. Of course Zach made an appointment and took the pass, "This is my employee, you don't have to worry about him." This was Zach introducing Sam who couldn't get rid of him.
The headmistress didn't care, but nodded as if she understood -
Do you still remember the first time I brought Alice to Raptor? The headmistress immediately revealed Zach’s identity as the owner of Grande. This was attributed to the newspapers’ fair coverage of Grande at that time—the city government was in the process of privatization. Under the trial, the citizens of Barton still have the option to choose traditional funerals, so it can be considered a positive report.
At that time, the principal, who knew Master Grande because she read the newspaper, will now, for the same reason, refresh her 'knowledge' of Zachary Grande through the newspaper - Grande is absolutely Who have you offended, otherwise you wouldn't be treated like a slanderous person in front of the people of the city, with a strong 'employee' by your side? Not surprising.
But obviously this time, the principal’s lady did not support the description of Mr. Grande in the newspaper. She had at least contacted Zach a few times, and she was very fond of this polite, even charming, gentleman and kept smiling, " Mr. Grande, I have already read the documents of Miss xx (Maya’s last name). There should be no problem with admission, but I still have some questions. Let’s go to the office to discuss it. Haha. At the same time, I believe Laura and the others will take good care of her. She came to visit."
"Of course." Zach nodded and took a casual look around the campus. Maya had been pulled out of sight. Instead, she received an inexplicable eye roll from Sissi the Saint, who was holding Chris Allen on her arm.
Team Semtor is gone. No one cares.
Before class started, Zach followed the principal's lady through the noisy corridors towards the Academic Affairs Office. To be honest, it’s quite shocking. It’s not that people are greeting each other, but—
"Uh, who is that old man in the suit (Zach)?"
"Alice's father?"
"Idiot, brother!"
"Uh, really? I thought Alice's brother was the one with the golden retriever?"
"Uh, golden retriever? The one at the dance? (Matthew)"
"Ah! That golden retriever is really handsome, strong and sexy, a bit like Chris, the rough feeling of a South District boy~ Well, what happened next, Laura and that golden retriever, does anyone know?"
"Uh, close your legs! Chris has been taken down by the 'Thousand Pieces Girl' (Sissy, nicknamed the party at Keith's house). Don't even think about Golden Retriever. You can't compare to the Thousand Pieces Girl." , let alone compare to Barton’s princess (Lola).”
"Maybe. I heard that Laura also has feelings for Golden Retriever's father. He is stronger and wilder than Golden Retriever. You girls like this, right?"
"What?! No, no, the previous sentence, Golden Retriever's father, details, please!"
"Oh! Haven't you heard of it? He seems to be a veteran who participated in the war (Benjamin)..."
…
It wasn't that Zack was eavesdropping, but whispering around vampires was just the wrong thing to do. However, this does prove something - high school is not easy at all; rumors are terrible; teenagers deserve to be hated...
"Principal?" The front desk of the Academic Affairs Office came out. The fat girl spoke when the principal and Zach passed by, "My butt (chin) is old..." She changed her words in time, "Teacher Su just asked for sick leave and asked to change the course immediately."
"Uh..." The principal hesitated for a moment, "Let xx take over as a substitute." Then he returned to the smile and said, "This way."
Zach didn't even need to change his expression, and followed him into the office with the same smile he always had.
"First of all! I want to say that you don't have to worry about Alice being affected at school. We have a 'zero tolerance for rumors' policy! Anything related to a student's family will not affect the student's study at school! You can absolutely rest assured! "
Ho, ho, ho, whatever she says, we know what she's trying to say is that the newspaper coverage of Zach himself won't affect Alice.
"That's great." Zach smiled and nodded, "Thanks."
"This has always been our philosophy at Reiput!" the principal said with a smile, "Let students have the ability to think independently!" This is true, otherwise there would not have been the previous mock election activities.
"Then, I really want to praise Alice. She really made me look at her in a new light." The principal's lady began to show Zach some of Alice's report cards and teacher evaluations. "She has completely kept up with the course, and she is also ahead of the average level." "The extracurricular grade points are also higher than those of students of the same level." Remember that Alice also came to school halfway, so this is really rare.
Of course, these extracurricular performance points are also due to the fact that Laura kept Alice from going home after school every day, hey.
"What's even more gratifying~" The principal seemed really happy, "Because of Alice, I was very pleased to see that Laura and Kepler's grades were also rising. I even received awards from Mr. Barton and Mr. Smith. Thank you letter. Mr. Grande, haha, your little sister is really an outstanding young lady. Your family education is very successful. She has brought good influence to everyone around her."
Just like when Maya repeated Yuehua Baiying's way of educating Alice to Zach, Zach really didn't know what to say - in other words, Zach didn't know what he had handed over to Alice...
"Well, I think I'm just lucky." Zach could only respond, "Grand is lucky to have such a sister."
"Haha, you are too modest~" It seems that the principal lady has a crush on Zach. I have said it long ago that some charming qualities require experienced people to appreciate them. Teenagers, forget it.
"Then, let's talk about Maya." Putting away Alice's documents, the principal's lady started the topic, "I, um, I have a little question..." She looked a little hesitant.
"If it's about the home-based education that Maya also received, I think the principal can rest assured that Alice should have broken your prejudice against home-based education..."
"Oh, no no." He explained hurriedly, "I have no objection to any education method, as long as it can cultivate children's ability to live in this society. I have no prejudice against family education." It must be emphasized that a qualified educator's Consciously, the principal did a good job, but, "It's just about Maya's real guardian..."
Yuehua and Baiying are both female.
Zach raised his eyebrows, guessing what the principal meant, "Well, is there any problem?" Zach didn't want the principal to ask this question, because, with Toledo's foresight, he could see it all The future of this issue is unclear - Zach can identify with the psychology of people like Blake, but even Blake has not made any waves for such a long time, which proves that the course of the times is not clear yet. So, Zach didn't want to take any stance.
Zach adjusted his sitting posture, "I think Maya and Alice are in the same situation. They were both abandoned by their biological parents and had a very difficult childhood. Then they were lucky enough to meet a family who was willing to love them and accept them. If the principal wants to talk As for the composition of the guardian family, I am just Alice's brother, not the father, and the role of mother has never appeared in Alice's life. This is the same as the absence of a father (male) in Maya's life, right? It doesn’t matter how the family is, Alice and Maya both grow up to be good children, that’s the important thing, right?”
The principal blinked, "Well - if Mr. Grande said so... it is indeed..."
Zach was not prepared to give the other party a chance to turn around, "And principal, you just told me about the 'zero tolerance' policy, so family status should not be included in the criteria for evaluating a student, right?"
"Well - indeed..."
"Haha, principal, what's your problem?" Zach asked.
"Uh... No." The principal lady shook her head and actually closed Maya's information directly, "But I still need to test Maya's knowledge and ability. After all, the semester is already halfway through. I can see that she has already communicated with Maya. Alice and Laura are friends and would like to be in the same grade as them, but for her personal consideration, we still need to assign the appropriate grade based on her learning ability."
"Of course." Zach nodded with a smile.
"Okay, then, I should notify Maya to take the test, which will take a few hours. Mr. Grande can wait, or visit as he pleases."
"I know the process." Zach smiled, because he had already experienced it once, "Thanks."
After leaving the principal's office, the class bell had already rang, and there was no one in the corridor that was noisy just now. Just in time, it was convenient for Zach to find Sam, who had left the team before.
If possible, Zach would like to enjoy this rare solo action without a follower. But here is Repter, and Zach has nothing to do. Instead, there is Sissi who makes Zach speechless, paired with Sam who also makes Zach speechless. Zach feels that it is better to find this pairing earlier.
It was not difficult, Zach soon heard the conversation between the two people -
"Wizard, if you touch me again, I will chop off your hand and tear it into a thousand pieces."
"You can try. Don't think of me as the useless undead (Raging Wave) in your family."
Since no one was watching, Zach turned into an afterimage and arrived at an old classroom on the top floor. Zach had been here, and it was in an old classroom filled with cigarette butts in the corner that Kyle confessed his crime.
"What are you doing?" Zach pursed his lips, looking at the somewhat uncomfortable scene. Sam was holding down the twisting Sissi, trying to do something, "Let Sissi go, Sam."
"You don't need to bother me!" Sissi's face was gloomy. She wasn't trying to argue. Sam was holding her down, but the golden light was also hanging over Sam's head.
Sam was obedient. He glanced at the golden color above his head, let go of Sissi and stepped away, "She has traces of Papa Midnight's witchcraft on her body. I want to recreate it to see what Papa Midnight did."
"You can ask directly, with your mouth, not your hands." Zach was teaching his wizard how to behave, and then looked at Sissi, "I'm sorry, and I guess you ignored my sincere advice and asked for trouble again? "
advice? Zach really dared to say that the most he said to Sissi was that he was powerless and didn't want to participate in the matter of locking up Papa Midnight, but he never advised Sissi to leave it alone.
"Hmph, what do you care about? You do nothing!" Sissi rolled her eyes and took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket very smoothly.
Zach grabbed it casually, crumpled it into a ball, and frowned, "Sissi, what's wrong with you?" This is unacceptable in every sense, a degradation of faith, human ethics, and morality.
"Uh, that's not cigarette! Uh!" Sissi looked at the ball in Zach's hand speechlessly, "That's the medicine Rimmer made for me! To focus!"
Zach has nothing to apologize for, and here's the reason - there is another medicine made by Rimmer, called 'Valmina', which is also a concentration medicine that can concentrate you to the point of experiencing dreams. And this thing is still packaged in cigarette packaging. Zach doesn’t want to say anything more. Who knows, it’s not some new product developed by Smith after Riemer joined, eh. Zach threw it to Sam, "Destroy."
"Go back to class, Sissi." Zach didn't want to continue to be entangled with Sissi. Things he couldn't do anything about were things he couldn't do anything about.
"Teacher is sick, no need." The corners of Sissi's eyes twitched.
"There are substitute teachers." Zach curled his lips and repeated the little things he heard in the Academic Affairs Office.
"Well, Caesar will protect me, I'm too lazy to go." Sissi actually pulled up a chair, which was as clean as new after the golden light passed by. She sat down and looked like she was concentrating with her eyes closed.
Only now did Zach notice that Sissi's face was not looking good and she was a little tired.
Glancing at Sam, "Sissi, what happened?" Zach could only ask.
"There's nothing you want to know." Sissi closed her eyes and replied impatiently.
Sam stuffed something into his pocket and stepped forward again, "He asked you a question, answer..." He was preparing to attack the girl again.
Fortunately, Zach stopped the golden light before it was about to cut Sam. "It's up to you. Let's go. We have to wait for the Maya test to end." Pushing Sam away. Without any fanfare, Zach was really ready to leave.
"I met Papa Midnight again last night." Sissi said herself, her face a little twisted, "It's simply humiliating! Camille, Crowley (angel) and I couldn't touch him at all!" Sissi's His cheeks twitched, "Are you happy? You're right! This is something beyond our ability! None of us have the ability to deal with Papa Wu..."
Zach should have said in triumph, 'I told you so. 'But Zach didn't, he stopped and looked at Sissi, "Last night, at Allen Funeral Home?"
"Huh, what else? Am I free to guard your mill?" Sissi shook her head.
"Let me guess." Zach did not go out, but took a few steps closer to Sissi, thinking sideways, "The fuel for the incinerator was stolen again?"
"Yeah." Sissi seemed to have given up, but did not forget to ridicule, "How smart."
Zach frowned, "Did Papa say anything at midnight?"
"Haha, now you want to know the details? Why? Do you want to mock how incompetent the upper echelons of our faith are now?"
"Yeah, I really like to ridicule my own belief system." Zach shook his head, not bothering to explain, "Answer my question."
"Huh." Sissi had a look of complete abandonment and was quiet for a long time. "'You are wasting your energy, targeting me.' He said. Tsk! Humiliation!"
Zach turned around and left, too lazy to care about Sissi.
"What are you thinking about?" Sam has almost mastered some of Zach's patterns, and now, Zach is thinking.
"I was thinking..." Zach raised his eyebrows, "Sissi is a too self-centered girl, so she didn't realize that it was not humiliation..." He inexplicably jumped off the topic, "The two groups of workers disappeared completely, and Barton's The fuel for cremation at the funeral home was stolen twice..." Zach was talking to himself completely, "Should we wait for the third time? Let's see if it's a coincidence or..." (.)
