Chapter 54: Growing Pains

The end of the Penguin Man's affairs does not mean that Gotham has returned to peace and quiet, and the starry crime is the daily ecology of Gotham, and Jason and Bruce have also seen a variety of reasons for committing crimes, and those bizarre reasons make Jason question his identity from the bottom of Gotham for the first time in his life. He felt like he didn't know the city he grew up in.

Jason's daily life is spent learning how to fight criminals, and learning how to track down criminals, as well as learning. Oh yes, he's starting school.

At Bruce's insistence, Jason lived the life that a normal child should live, and therefore had many troubles that a normal child should have, such as being a transfer student to another school, and still holding Bruce on top of him. Wayne is its patron title, and Jason's admission is quite remarkable. Rumors about him had been spreading since he had not yet arrived at school.

"Jason, Mr. Todd, this is your homeroom teacher, Jonathan. Pete"

A chubby woman introduced Jason to a tall, slightly emaciated man.

Bruce had an important meeting today, so Alfred had to drop Jason off at the school gate and let him report himself. Jason was hosted by one of the school's current vice principals, who oversees logistics and student mental health. Maybe it's a doctor of psychology, and although this chubby woman also showed a strong interest in Jason, she didn't ask anything too out of line, and she didn't hate Jason.

The moment his homeroom teacher, Mr. Jonathan, brought him into the classroom, the originally somewhat noisy classroom immediately fell silent. Jason stood on the podium, taking in the gazes of the other students, some curious, some ill-intentioned, most of them curious.

"Jason, please take a seat, we'll start class right away."

Jonathan is a man of few words, and he doesn't seem to have any interest in Jason, just doing the job assigned to him by the principal. That's a good thing for Jason, he doesn't like to be too conspicuous.

An ordinary day begins like this, ordinary teachers, ordinary classmates, ordinary classes... To be honest, if he hadn't come to school, Jason wouldn't have noticed that he had learned a lot more than the average person, and every week a private tutor came to Wayne Manor to teach, plus the knowledge he learned from Bruce, intentionally or unintentionally, was a bit out of the way, and before he knew it, Jason's knowledge had surpassed his peers a lot, and he could now communicate in five languages with basic simplicity, which was intentionally guided by Bruce in daily life.

Jason knew that Bruce had sent him to school only to keep him from getting too out of the crowd, but unlike Dick, he had no interest in socializing at all.

"Jason-san"

At the end of a lesson, a girl with short blond hair came up to Jason and tried to strike up a conversation with him:

"Are you free after class today?"

Jason looked at the girl, her short blonde hair didn't seem to be natural, her slightly chubby cheeks with a shallow dimple looked very cute under perfect makeup, her plump body was packed in that sexy leaky skirt that didn't match her age, and the smell of perfume on her body made Jason want to sneeze a little.

“.. Sorry, I'm having something."

Jason didn't quite understand why this kind of girl with an empty head at first glance would be very popular with men, and he preferred a girl with a very brain like Barbara, well, that couldn't be heard by Dick.

"Oh . . . That's a pity, this is my phone, you can call me if you change your mind at the last minute"

The girl handed Jason a note with a long written phone number.

"Hey! Cool brother, it's too cool, but you won't be able to get a girlfriend. ”

After the girl turned to leave, a black boy approached and expressed his dissatisfaction with Jason's refusal, which was the flower of their class.

Jason didn't say anything, just glanced at the boy coldly, it was obvious that this boy and the kind of piercing eyes that fell on him from other corners of the classroom should be the guys who had a good impression of the girl just now, by the way, what was the name of the girl just now? It seems to be Rachel...........

The boring day passed slowly, and out of politeness, Jason had to recall the details of various previous cases in his head to make sure he didn't fall asleep. Jason had never felt like time was running so slowly.

When he returned to the manor, Jason felt that he had finally come to life, and Alfred only asked him "how is school life like today", and after Jason replied "average", the trained old butler did not say a word about the school.

Back in the room, there was still some time before dinner, how do the average child spend this time? Today is the first day of the new semester, many clubs are recruiting new members, Jason's skinny physique seems to have nothing to be noticed in the physical education department, and those super popular sports club propagandists have no one to force him into any flyers.

Jason felt that he probably didn't have much time to attend such an event, and he wondered if Dick was there.

A slip of paper from his pocket was the phone number given to him by the girl named Rachel, which he had forgotten to throw away.

"Wow! Our popular boy receives his phone number on the first day of school, which girl gave it to you? Great Love"

Before Jason could react, the note in his hand was taken away by a hand.

Dick didn't know when he came, so he sat down on the edge of Jason's bed and looked at the note he had snatched from Jason.

There was a lip print on the note other than the phone number, and there was no reason to think about it anywhere else.

"Give it back!"

Jason pounced to retrieve the note.

"You haven't told me what kind of girl she is."

Dick made a light flash, dodging Jason's movements.

"It's not about you!"

Jason, who almost fell out of bed, was even more angry.

"Don't be like that, what kind of girl is it, blonde? Brunette? Fat? Thin? Isn't it pretty? ”

"It's not about you! What are you here for? ”

"Today is your first day of school, I think I have an obligation as an older brother to care about your school life"

"Who's your brother?"

Jason finally snatched the note back from Dick's hand, shredded it and threw it into the trash.

Dick looked at Jason's angry look, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Could it be a man who called you?"

"I'm sick of it! You 'Dick' Grayson"

Jason kicked Dick in the face and ended the unnutritious conversation.
