Chapter 1696: Bruce Wayne and the Philosopher's Stone (11)

"Bruce Wayne!"

The students at the long table called his name one after another, like the sound of a sparrow on the windowsill in early winter, which was particularly annoying in the morning, but it seemed that the man was accustomed to receiving attention, and was not affected by the attention of others in the slightest.

"Did I bump into you? I'm sorry. Bruce nodded lightly at little Bruce, and almost instantly looked away to meet Constantine, who was striding over.

"You're back, Bruce, the substitute teacher has changed for you, and if you don't come back, I'm afraid I'll have to go to that horrible math class."

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he won't die and won't go." Zatanna walked up from behind Konstantin, pulled the sleeves of her magic robe back, and hugged Bruce.

"How are the students lately? I'm afraid you'll have to remind them that the math class they least want to take is coming back. ”

"God, I have more headaches than they do." Zatana rolled her eyes and said, "Math and physics are the pain of my life, and you happen to be very good at them, which is even more impressive than the time we used to be...... Don't talk about that, have you had breakfast? ”

"Not yet, but I don't have the time right now, I'm here to see Professor Strange, is he there?"

"He's at Strange House, right there." Konstantin pointed back with his hand, pointing at the group of students in golden robes at the end of the long table, where Strange loomed.

"Thanks, I'll go first." After saying that, Bruce was about to walk quickly over there, but at this time, Zatanna turned her head to look at little Bruce, quickly caught up with Bruce and said, "Wait, he ......"

"Alright, little bastard, looks like your backer is back." Konstantin shrugged his shoulders at little Bruce and said, "Your good days are coming." ”

And little Bruce was looking at Bruce's back stunned, he was greatly shocked, mainly because he didn't understand, why is this future self completely different from what he imagined?

Isn't he a little too trendy???

Yes, this Bruce looked young, energetic, and very up-to-date, and the robes he wore looked very expensive, not the usual heavy fabrics, but slightly light silk, and the dark lines on it seemed to be the slightly oriental-style Rococo patterns that had recently become popular in the wizarding world, and they were very close-fitting, looking capable and elegant, and judging from the effect, ten tailors had to circle around him.

At the same time, it seems that he has a good relationship among the professors, and Bruce himself has spent time with Constantine, and he doesn't think he can have anything in common with this decadent puddle of mud, and it sounds like he has a past with the dean of Zatara Academy.

What's more, he's also very popular with the students, and as soon as he walks to Strange House, a group of people surround him, who look like the third-year prefect and his good friends, who have apparently dealt with Bruce before.

No one who is close to anyone can get so much attention in an instant, no matter how special his identity is, people will always whisper that he is a weirdo, but Bruce is faced with the complete opposite, most of them blatantly discuss him, surround him, and even express their affection for him.

"He's so handsome, isn't he?" Miss Spencer propped her head on one hand and said, "I heard my aunt say when I was at home that Bruce Wayne is a super handsome guy, more handsome than the male protagonist in the pictorial, and his blue eyes are a love elixir." ”

"Guess what he brought us compared to that?" Kane smiled and said, "I guess it may be a souvenir from the Wayne family, I heard that his butler had a birthday some time ago." ”

"Come on, I've seen it all." Lawrence, who was next to him, leaned over, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Before I came, a carriage full of bat dolls drove up to the warehouse, and it won't be long before we can have one by one." ”

"Is it the kind of doll I saw in the dean's office that day?" Miss Spencer grinned and said, "That pillow that's ten times bigger than the bat doll that came with our offer letter?" ”

"Looks like yes, that's Gotham's hot doll merch right now, and the gift shop at the docks sells for twenty dollars a piece."

"Oh my God! Why is it so expensive? ”

"Because I heard that the new blank process is adopted, the filling is also different, and I heard that it is very soft, and the fluffy ones will not shed hair."

"Hurry up, let's get back to the common room, I can't wait to hand out the gifts."

The news that Wayne had brought new gifts to the students quickly spread among the several houses, and the dining hall had never been so quiet, and everyone was burying their heads in the hard work, hurriedly filling their stomachs, and then running back to the common room in excitement.

As soon as she returned to the common room, she was greeted by several large boxes of bat dolls, and the girls were the first to scream, and Miss Spencer rushed into the boxes with unprecedented speed, and hugged four or five large dolls.

"God, they're so soft, what the hell am I doing?! How could I love this black doll?! Shouldn't it be something like a bunny that's more popular? ”

"Don't be stupid, then you don't know how popular this thing is on the Internet right now! Bunny dolls are rotten on the streets, and it's the age of bats! ”

"I heard that this is made of artificial animal hair, and the stitches are almost invisible, which is too suitable for use as a pillow, can I take one now?"

"Don't move! Don't move! Kane shouted, stretched out his legs and stepped over the box to the middle of the room, waved his arms to drive the others away, and said, "One person can only take one, line up to get it!" ”

The freshmen didn't know what was going on, and they were squeezed into the line like a bunch of chicks, and Harley, a Barry in her left hand and a little Bruce in her right, dragged them all into the line.

"What is this doing?" Barry asked, a little dazed.

"The Dean of Wayne College brings us gifts every time he comes back to the Academy, and you know, he has a lot of money, but more importantly, he brings us Gotham City travel gifts that haven't been released on the market every time, and it may be the first batch of samples he made."

"You guys know how popular Gotham tours are right now, right? Every time a batch of peripherals is released, it will soon be sold out.,When the time comes, these will be out of print.,You can collect it if you're not short of money.,After all, the quality of Wayne's manufacturing is still trustworthy.,It's really short of money to sell it online.,It's also a lot of income.。 ”

Hallie explained to the two, and Barry nodded and accepted the statement, but Bruce Jr. was still immersed in shock, in fact, his biggest shock was summed up in one sentence - where did this sunny and cheerful big boy come from?!

Bruce Jr. never felt that he was a cheerful person, whether it was before or after the death of his parents, even if he had a very happy childhood when his parents were alive, he really couldn't be called a very lively and cheerful child, in short, Batman was born a dark man, and he never surrendered.

But the Bruce he had just seen looked like a creature from another dimension, and he was genuinely happy, and he looked a little overjoyed.

Little Bruce was so stunned by the fact that he would become such a person in the future, so before he knew it, he was stuffed with a bat doll that was huge for his size, very soft and fluffy.

As Bruce struggled to move the doll down, exposing his head and neck, he saw Barry and Hallie beating each other with the doll, and the others were no better.

He must have cast some kind of seductive magic on this doll, Bruce thought to himself, otherwise why would he make everyone like his gift so much? Is there any other plausible explanation for this?

How can Bruce Wayne be likable?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

I don't know whether to say that Bruce Jr. has too much of a clear understanding of himself, or whether to say that he is too pessimistic about his character, in short, he never feels that he can fit in with the public, and prefers to use sharp and hurtful words to kick the group of fools he doesn't look down on at all.

But is it actually an option to blend in with the crowd? But what's the need for that? What can this group of headless and brainless fools who only care about being happy bring him?

Bruce was still thinking about this as he lay on the bed, the bat doll was too big to fit under the bed, and Bruce had to put it on the bed.

Then in the morning, he found that the existence in his dream that he would kick the doll to the ground in the middle of the night while sleeping may not have happened, instead, he woke up to find the doll in his arms.

Terrible little Bruce sat up, shook his head, a little heavy from deep sleep, banished the sleepiness that had not been in his mind for a long time, and staggered to his feet.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on his door.

After opening the door, a strange girl appeared outside the door, she looked a little panicked, but still said in a slightly nervous tone.

"Well, you've got to get up quickly and you're going to be late for class, the first class was Professor Pamela's, and she doesn't have a good temper."

"Do you know me?"

"I know you're Wayne, probably a relative of Dean Wayne, and the two dolls he gave me have helped our family ease some of the financial tensions for a while, if you can, help me say thank you...... Hurry up and go to the classroom, I'll go first! ”

After saying that, the girl ran away in a hurry, and little Bruce stood there and thought, is this the benefit of blending in with the crowd? Accompany smiling faces every day, courteous and courteous, pretend to understand this group of fools, and meet their various needs, just for these interests and concerns?

Little Bruce didn't say anything, but went back to his room, and after washing up, he almost stepped on the bell and entered the classroom.

Pamela lifted her hat and opened her textbook and said, "What I'm teaching now is the most basic part of magical botany, which is what are the common magical plants in magic, and how you can tell their characteristics. ”

"Next, please look at this." Pamela pulled out a pot of plants from under the podium, the kind of spiral-bearing plant that Bruce and the others had seen in the small garden behind the greenhouse.

"Spiral grass, the most typical magical plant that grows in areas with strong magical energy, you can find them on the grass on the east side of the Malt Swamp of the Wizarding World......"

The magical botany class was unexpectedly fun, as Pamela introduced them to the three most common plants in the wizarding world, as well as the hilarious accidents that many hapless wizards have had when they used the wrong three materials.

At the end of the lesson, when everyone else was gone, Bruce grabbed Barry and Harley and said, "We'll have to ask the professor about the dryad." ”

At this point, Pamela walked past them, apparently intending to leave down the hallway, while Bruce explained to the other two, "Whatever the professors have set it all up for, we're going to have to go over and see what we guessed, and let them know that there's not just fools in this school." ”

By this time, Pamela had reached the corner at the end of the hallway, and then she seemed to have met someone, and she paused.

The three children immediately rushed into the nearest classroom in unison, then poked their heads out to listen carefully to the conversation coming from the end of the hallway.
