Chapter 7 in Charleston
After that night's conversation, Jonny had to accept the arrangement of a normal person to go to the Charleston Ascension Center every day, and his usual unspoken low-key behavior would not attract attention, he was desperate to understand the world he lived in, but there was obviously no good way. He understands that asking questions of his teachers and classmates will inevitably arouse unnecessary suspicion, and he tries to keep himself on the same path as Jonny of the past.
In addition to the normal educational classes, the Charleston Center also arranges a number of free courses for teenagers to pass the time according to their interests.
So after Teacher Xia Xuelian's painting class, Jonny was on the electronic whiteboard at the back of the classroom and Xie Funi was full of freckles. Hepburn worked together to create a homework.
After mastering the principle of the universal drawing pen, he painted the blue sky, the scorching sun, the green grass and the rotating windmill in his own corner.
After Xie Funi finished reading it, he immediately danced to clear and wipe the scroll, completely ruining the scroll.
"A sun, Jonny." The little girl with a freckled face looked at the Reborn with a puzzled expression.
"Do you think we're in Khand's territory?" She said angrily.
But that's not all, after that, the Bambu brothers, who have always been kind to him, come to Jony, who is in a daze, with toys.
This was taken by the elder brother Domingo. Bambu described the hologram game as 'Kill the Cyber' similar to the chess game that Jonny was more familiar with, and after a little familiarization with the rules, Jonny's army of cybermen quickly intimidated Bambu into his human base camp in an unexpected way.
The Bambu brothers were obviously unprepared for this move, and after discussing it together for a long time, and after a few clumsy moves, they were checkmated by Jonny, and the game decision mechanism immediately declared the Cyberman victorious.
The two brothers wept and sobbed, sobbing and choking only because they thought it was impossible, they had been playing this game in Charleston Center for many years, and they had never met an opponent, how could they meet a newcomer who had just followed the wrong rules and lost so badly.
The loud cry attracted the onlookers of her classmates. Ramiris was among them, and the little girl looked at Jonny with disdain, and immediately pronounced the verdict: "Jonny cheated, he is a clumsy liar." ”
So after that, no one talked to Jonny, and the normal Jonny was isolated by the low-intelligence teenagers.
In order to pass the time of free coursework, Jonny had to find some books on the class shelf to read, hoping to learn some elementary knowledge about the world.
But when he couldn't find any reason to read from those puzzle fairy tales of Xiao Fang Xiao Li Xiao William, he had to turn to Teacher Xia Xuelian, hoping that the teacher could give a book that was not only holographic illustrations, but also had real words.
Jonny now has a vague idea of the language spoken by people in this world.
He realized that this familiar yet jerky language was probably a combination of multiple languages from his own world. To put it simply, it is a bit like the language habits of people in multi-linguistic regions, such as Singaporeans, who often put Malay, English and Chinese together, and Hong Kong young people always like to speak in Cantonese, English and Mandarin.
But people in any region do not speak like people in this world, they at most put auxiliary words at the beginning or end of sentences, or a sentence in a language, but here they intersperse various languages in each sentence, and they can't understand the meaning at all if you don't want to think about it.
He knew the words that came out of the boys' mouths, and there were many words that he didn't know well, maybe French or Spanish, and Jonny didn't know anything about it, but he felt more and more sure that it must be inextricably linked to the world he had been in.
Ms. Xia Xuelian was surprised by Jonny's request, most of the teenagers in the center were illiterate or had little to learn, and there was no such language course because most of the children could not accept it. So she picked out a biography of "Alfon the Barrecas" for Jonny, and watched him walk to the corner of the classroom and read it quietly.
The book was written entirely in English, and it seemed to be easy to understand, and Jonny didn't have a hard time looking at it, he was ready to read the mixed text, but he didn't expect it to be written in a language, which made him see something familiar for the first time in many days.
The biography describes Alfon, a Barrecas man, as a captain of the mixed fleet of the Silver Alliance decades ago, and the description in the book seems to be an incredible feat.
The biography chronologically depicts the young Ah Fang as a travel companion, following the Kande suzerain out of the rich galaxy and traveling through the universe, and then when the Kande master died of illness during the journey, Ah Fang gradually lost the meaning of life and once considered death. He signed up for the Barekas ground assault team, and after the war known to humanity as 'Arcuonius Twilight' against the Vokkens to drive out the colonists of the Silver Alliance, he became the Kander's chief military attache to the Silver League. After this, the Albanian side gained the respect of the Military Council of the Silver Alliance, and eventually became the foreign captain of the mixed fleet of the Silver Alliance.
At the end of the book, Ah Fang has been active on the military front, and finally dies of illness on his cruiser "The Dying Kirin", and before his death he mutters the name of his master, and prays to the god of abundance to let his war spirit protect his master forever.
After Johnny finished reading the book, Joanna was already waiting for him outside, and along the way he thought about the records in the book, and couldn't help but have a strong interest in the relationship between the Barekas and the Kande, but he didn't dare to take the liberty of asking his mother, so he had to ask Teacher Xia Xuelian to borrow another book to read after school the next day.
Xia Xuelian was attracted by Jonny's behavior this time, and she felt very strange, obviously not believing that there was a guy in her class who could read the entire biography of A Fang. So she complimented Johnny kindly, and said that in her class, when every child finished reading a book, they had to write an essay explaining what was written in the book.
Jonny had to write his feelings after reading according to the teacher's requirements, the article was in English, so he wrote it in English, fortunately, the universal pen on the writing board also has the function of prompting words, so he quickly completed an article and handed it to Xia Xuelian.
Xia Xuelian was stunned, writing such a clear and smooth article at such a speed, although the article seemed to know nothing about the relationship between the Kander and the Barrecas, and only quoted the expression in the certificate, but the whole article was written with a decent idea, theme, extended thoughts and summary. This is an essay that would give you a high score in an ordinary high school, and it actually comes from my own class, a group of autistic and mentally unintelligent teenagers.
