Chapter 6 Talking and laughing with the principal
The principal's office of Midtown Science and Technology High School
"Gentlemen, can you explain what happened in the cafeteria five minutes ago?"
The headmaster looked at the three teenagers sitting in the office, Slade, Peter, and Ned, with a serious expression.
Peter and Ned were a little sluggish, and they didn't seem to have recovered from the series of action scenes they had just had.
Slade decided to speak, "Headmaster, these two friends sitting next to me are being bullied by that group of rugby players, and I can't tolerate this happening to me, let alone my friends, and I decided to help." ”
Slade explained, elbowing Peter and Ned, who were sitting next to him. The two quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's it." Slade didn't mean to stir up trouble, really......"
The headmaster made a shut-up gesture to Peter and Ned, and they quickly covered their mouths, fearing that one more word would pop out of their mouths. "You two go out for a while, and I'll talk to Mr. Wilson alone."
Peter and Ned slowly walked out of the principal's office, giving Slade a "take care, brother" look as they closed the door.
"Judging from the video, the rugby players just let Peter and Ned have some intimate contact with the food on the table" The headmaster stared into Slade's eyes and said, "You directly knocked four people to the point of fainting, three of them were beaten until they couldn't stand, and the rest were either broken or mentally intimidated." Even if this is justified defense, it is too much. ”
Slade nodded, "I think it's okay." ”
"Do you think it's okay? This is the most serious group assault time since the establishment of Zhongcheng Science and Technology High School! Do you think it's okay? Do you know what this is all about? The main team of rugby varsity teams is not suitable for training for the next month, so what will happen to the season in a few months? Do you want to go up and play rugby with a bunch of substitutes? "The principal could no longer calmly state the consequences of the ensuing." You're only on your first day of school! Your first day of school was like this, did our school simply buy an ambulance and be ready to rescue the wounded? ”
Slade looked at the headmaster's frantic expression, and realized that the matter might be slightly more serious than he thought. "I promise, as long as no one bullies the people around me, I will never use force at will."
The headmaster shook his head and said, "Mr. Wilson doesn't have to give me any guarantees, you won't have to come to school again from tomorrow." ”
Slade was a little unwilling, this was the only way for him to enter Stark Industries. "Principal, if there is bullying in the school, the school management is also responsible, right?" Slade had to find a way to stay at Midtown Tech High School, "My friend is a victim, and I helped to make this unfair and unpositive evil spirit dissipate in the school?" ”
"But in any case, Mr. Wilson, the casualties of this group fight are really unacceptable, and I will find a way to transfer you to another high school based on your situation" The principal was also helpless.
Slade looked at the wall of the principal's office, and saw a very familiar black and white photograph. Isn't this exactly a group photo of Roaring Commando members in the Captain America Memorial? Next to the photo is a single bust of an Asian soldier, as well as a colorful medal in a small glass frame. The photo shows the Demoman in the Roaring Commando Team, Jim Morita.
What a coincidence! Slade pointed to the picture on the wall and asked the principal, "May I ask what is your relationship between Jim Moretta in Roaring Commando and the principal?" ”
The principal was taken aback: "How did you know my grandfather?" ”
Slade thought to himself, "God help me: "The principal didn't know, I was abandoned by my parents because I was born with necrosis of my right eye, and I was bullied in an orphanage. Whether it was in an orphanage or at school, there were many people who bullied me, who was once thin and weak. My only friend was Grandpa Lee, a security guard at the Captain America Memorial in Brooklyn. Every day, I go to the Captain America Memorial to see the brave soldiers of the Roaring Commandos who fought bravely during the difficult war years and did their best to live a safe and happy life for future generations. I grew up surrounded by the wonderful stories of Roaring Commando, and I had a lot of admiration for the members of it, especially your grandfather, Jim Morita. Today, I was fortunate to meet the descendants of the martyrs, and I was grateful. Without your grandfather, we wouldn't have the stable life we have now! ”
This also moved the principal, "Yes, how many people today still remember the bravery and fearlessness of the Roaring Commandos back then?" You're the first person I've ever seen who can tell the story about this photo and the story behind it! ”
Slade hurriedly pursued the victory, "Headmaster, think about the time when your grandfather and his comrades were captured in the Red Skull base, if it wasn't for Captain America's unauthorized action and going to the depths of the enemy camp alone, you would have been able to save your grandfather." In this way, the greatest army of the Second World War era was born, the Roaring Commandos! I am also trying to emulate the heroic deeds of Captain America back then, disobeying the rules and taking the initiative, but also to save those in need! ”
Seeing that the principal was a little hesitant, Slade continued: "Didn't your grandfather also can't bear to see his compatriots killed, and joined the army to save the country? Didn't your grandfather have to fight with his life on the battlefield to protect the innocent people who were bullied by the powerful in order to save the villagers in need along the way? ”
The headmaster waved his hand, "You don't have to say any more, I know what you mean." Okay, you go back and rest first, and I'll keep you at school. However, you still have to stay on probation for a month, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the parents of the wounded. ”
"Thank you, Headmaster." Slade bowed to the headmaster and turned to leave.
As he was closing the door, the headmaster suddenly stopped Slade, "Don't do it next time you encounter something like this, it's really not good, and don't use such a heavy hand." ”
Slade nodded and walked out of the principal's office.
Peter and Ned, who were sitting outside the door, saw Slade coming out of the principal's office and hurried to greet him.
"Were you expelled?" Ned asked. Peter also looked at Slade eagerly.
Slade shook his head, "It's coming, but not yet." ”
Peter and Ned quickly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, but thank you for the fight between the two of us." ”
Slade shook his head, "It's okay, I've bullied a lot like you in the past, but this time I just stood up." Not only for your relationship, but also for myself. ”
Later, the three of them went to the classroom with Ned and Peter talking about it, ready for physics class.
