As if to compensate for the lag in growth, Jason's growth rate is almost visible to the naked eye.

"Why do you need to measure it again?"

Jason expressed his frustration at standing like a specimen wearing only a pair of shorts and repeating the act of being measured from head to toe by Alfred a week ago.

"Hmm... Because now is the time for you to grow your body, and my professionalism will not allow you to appear in public with ill-fitting pants and clothes, please turn around"

Jason obediently turned, and then felt the coolness of the tape measure swipe across his back.

Alfred looked at the numbers on the tape measure and recorded the latest data in his notebook.

Jason couldn't quite understand Alfred's persistence, in his opinion, pants and clothes would not be a little shorter, and the current temperature was not as heavy as in the middle of winter. But he decided not to contradict Alfred's decision.

After measuring Jason from head to toe, Alfred left the room to make new clothes for Jason, including a school uniform. Although Jason's school is a public school, it was formerly a private school, so it has a tradition of uniforms, which are mandatory for three days a week, and are required to be worn to school on major holidays.

Jason picked up the old pants he had thrown on the bed and compared them, and they didn't seem to be much shorter. Tomorrow when the new clothes come, all these old clothes will be donated to charity for those who need it more. Thinking that some kid like him would get these pants....

“... When you get to the new owner, you have to work hard."

Jason walked over to his closet, took out his old clothes one by one, folded them, and said a few goodbyes, and placed them neatly in the box Alfred had prepared.

"Speaking of which, have I ever picked up Dick's clothes before?"

Jason, who was sorting out his clothes, suddenly remembered that Dick had probably donated a lot of money at the speed at which Alfred was making new clothes. And he also went to the relevant welfare institutions under Wayne's name to receive (steal) clothes..........

"My donated clothes? Wow, how can I remember the clothes I wore since I was a child, why do you ask this? ”

"It's nothing, Ah Fu just finished measuring my height and went to order new clothes"

"Just? Didn't you remake your full outfit a week ago? ”

"yes, but Ah Fu said I grew up a little fast"

Jason's words silenced Dick's side, Jason's growth rate was indeed a little too fast. Dick remembers that when he was growing up, he only changed his clothes every two or three months.

"Dick?"

"Oh, you make me think"

Dick can't say that you grow faster than me, maybe Barbara's statement is correct, Jason's mother is probably not a short woman, Jason will grow into a big and tall person, but on the contrary, he seems to have stopped growing, and he has not shown any signs of growing taller recently.

"By the way, I used to have a big red coat with a hooded style that I used to love, and it was donated"

Dick struggled to dig back his memory with his previous styles, and the one that impressed him the most was this coat.

"Red? Lineutic? ”

"Hmm.... Yes, velvet"

"White clouds?"

"Yes, almost brand new"

"Just some cuffs?"

"Right..... Did you get it? ”

Dick said that Jason's memory of this dress is quite deep, hanging in the innermost part of the hanger of the welfare agency, very new except for a little wear on the cuffs, almost no wear, compared to Jason's physique at that time, it is really too big, if you follow the procedure to collect, this dress will only be assigned to older or stronger children, it is not Jason's turn. So he took it with him, and he wore it for a long time.................

“... No, I've only seen it in a welfare facility."

"Oh, it's a pity you didn't get it, that dress is really good, I haven't worn it a few times, the cuffs were hooked by a nail and it was donated by Ah Fu, the clothes are light and warm, I want to buy another large one after Ah Fu donates it, but it's out of stock"

Jason knows what Dick said. He wore it for a long time, until it was so badly worn that he couldn't wear it anymore.

"Is that all you remember?"

Jason interrupted Dick's rambling about his favorite outfit.

"Please, how can I remember how many clothes I worn, anyway, I will replace them all in the new wardrobe"

“... Also to "

Dick hung up Jason's phone and walked to the bathroom, looking at the face in the mirror that he had looked at me I don't know how many times:

"It's ugly"

For Jason's progress, Dick has always been on the look. From the first day Jason stepped into Wayne Manor, Dick had been keeping an eye on the boy.

He and he are from the same bottom of Gotham, and Jason comes from a lower class than he is, those social classes that even Dick once touched.

They were the same age, the only difference being that he came to Bruce earlier than Jason and learned more from Bruce. That has always been the capital he is proud of.

When the red-haired, green-eyed boy stood in the bat cave trying on his former uniform, Dick had to admit that deep down he had been terrified of the boy's appearance, and that he would take his place, from Bruce's side and from Bruce's heart.

When Bruce wants Jason to be Robin, Barbara raises objections, and deep down he disagrees.

He used "you can't let another child get involved in this life" as an excuse to convince him that there was nothing wrong with his idea.

When Jason took the uniform he handed him, the happy expression was also contagious to him, and after feeling the joy from the heart, Dick thought that he could finally let go of the title of Robin.

But after hearing Jason's progress again and again, that feeling came out from the depths of his heart, and more than once made him face the fact that he couldn't let go of the title of Robin.

Although Jason did not learn from Batman's side, Gotham's society became his teacher before Batman.

Dick sometimes unconsciously compares him to what happened when Jason first became Robin, and unfortunately, he lost completely. Dick who just became Robin. Grayson is a drag at all, has been kidnapped more than once, and has even been given the nickname "The Kid Who Specializes in Being Kidnapped" by the Two-Faced Man.

Look at Jason, who started to show his talent when he first became Robin. Those experiences that Gotham's brutal society taught him, after merging with those things that Batman taught him, Jason's progress can be described as flying.

He was jealous, even though he knew that this jealousy was as ridiculous as the jealousy of a child in the face of the unfair distribution of snacks by his parents, but he just couldn't suppress the strangeness that came out of his heart.

He struggles to convince himself that Bruce doesn't favor Jason, it's just that Jason's past makes him need more care. He also tried to ignore Jason's talents, which Jason had bought in exchange for his unbearable childhood.

But that didn't change the growing anger in his heart. Is it Jason? No, to yourself.

Jason is improving every day, and his progress will get faster and faster with time, but what about himself?

He kept saying that he wanted to set up his own door, but now all he did was move out of Wayne Manor and pretend that he no longer relied on Batman.

Jason's height will soon catch up with him, and by that time, Dick. Grayson will be good for nothing in front of Jason Todd.....

"It's ugly!"

Looking at the face in the mirror distorted by jealousy, Dick said disdainfully.

He needs to start working on a plan, a plan to build his own system out of Batman....
