American comics: The Savior Who Started with Vampires

Chapter 93 A School with Simple and Honest Folk Customs

"Unexpected! Yes, yes, our Highland high schools have always been known for their simple and honest people, completely unrelated to the things that happen in Gotham society, umm..."

After slowly hanging up the phone, the somewhat overweight instructor looked at Lin Jue and Emily sitting in front of him with a smile.

"What happened today was completely accidental. We're so glad you two could come to our highland to study!"

Emily's worried expression vanished instantly. Unsure of what was going on, she walked out of the office under the instructor's kind gaze.

"Phew! I thought our first day of school was going to be a disaster!"

Emily couldn't help but pat her chest, looking at Lin Jue with lingering fear. She didn't blame Lin Jue for his behavior just now; in fact, she felt a little excited.

"Given Gotham's state of mind, how good can the education in its schools be?" Lin Jue said.

"Ha, I knew you guys would be alright. Don't worry, as long as no one dies, the school usually won't interfere!"

Dam, who had been waiting nearby, quickly came to the two of them and looked at Lin Jue with excitement. He didn't expect that Lin Jue would defeat the guy who had bullied him on his first day of school. He could only admire how thoroughly evil Sam was.

The three of them arrived at the classroom, and Dam moved two empty desks from another classroom and placed them behind him.

The arrival of the new student, aside from Emily's beauty, caused a stir before quickly returning to calm.

Jingle Bell!

The school bell did not stop the students' laughter and chatter. Listening to the noisy classroom, Lin Jue fell into deep thought.

dong dong!

A hand gently tapped on his desk, startling Lin Jue from his reverie about the future. He looked at the man in a suit who had just walked up to his desk with some surprise.

"Lin Jue? Seeing how seriously you're thinking, you must have a unique understanding of fear?"

"fear?"

"That's right, fear is a wonderful emotion, and everyone has a different understanding of it! Could you share your thoughts on it?"

"Fear can subconsciously make people obey your commands..."

Lin Jue's brain was working at lightning speed. Thanks to the nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, his thinking was extremely fast, and he quickly reacted.

"……oh?"

Jonathan narrowed his eyes slightly; this was the first time he had gained such insight into fear from this perspective.

"You have a remarkable talent for psychology... Lin Jue!"

Looking at Lin Jue, who was expressionless at the moment, with a hint of appreciation, he slowly walked up to the podium. The students around him laughed and joked, as if they were not in class.

"No wonder Emily isn't worried at all about whether she can keep up with the lessons."

Lin Jue sighed helplessly. In his previous life, such disrespect from students to teachers would have been a very serious matter.

As if oblivious to the students' laughter, Jonathan smiled and slowly turned around, leisurely pulling a pistol from his side. He aimed it at the now completely silent classroom and slowly pointed it at the boy who had been speaking the loudest.

The boy, pale-faced, slowly raised his hand, looking at the pistol in Jonathan's hand with some fear.

"Ha! Classmates, Lin Jue's answer is completely correct!"

With an excited expression, Jonathan slowly lowered his pistol and looked at the classroom, which was now unusually quiet.

"Teacher, you've gone too far!"

A white girl couldn't help but shout, and the once quiet classroom erupted into a huge commotion again.

But in the blink of an eye, the atmosphere shifted to one of laughter and joy, with some even praising Jonathan's unique teaching style.

Even after Jonathan, with a smile on his face, left the classroom with his bag, the students were still reeling from the shock of his actions.

"Hey, Mr. Jonathan is a little different today!" Dam, sitting in the front row, exclaimed excitedly.

"Jonathan?"

Lin Jue was taken aback; the name was both familiar and unfamiliar...

"This is the first time I've ever seen Mr. Jonathan praise a student. Lin, you're amazing! You got praised by the teacher on your very first day of school!"

"Lin Jue, haha, I didn't expect our new students to be so interesting... Fear can make people obey your commands... Goodness, Teacher Jonathan is putting it into practice right here!"

In just one class, the students, who had previously only noticed Emily, suddenly noticed Lin Jue, who had an Asian face.

Amidst the curious murmurs of the crowd, Lin Jue led Emily toward the school cafeteria.

Looking at the students who were a bit too enthusiastic, Lin Jue still couldn't quite get used to their overly flamboyant personalities.

Unlike before, after a day of classes, Lin Jue looked at Emily, who seemed to have gained a lot, with a slight bitterness on his face.

He barely listened to anything, and the day seemed to fly by. Sometimes he couldn't even tell the difference between class and break time, and had to check if the teacher was in the classroom to tell...

The school atmosphere in Gotham was even more outrageous than the American high school life he had seen in his previous life!

In just one day, Lin Jue and Emily became known to most people in the classroom.

After learning that Lin Jue had beaten Sam, who was known as a bully, into the hospital, he gained the admiration of many boys. Even the previously unknown Dam became the center of attention, with most of the conversation revolving around Lin Jue's Chinese kung fu and Emily's beauty.

Lin Jue walked at the front of the cobblestone path, steeped in history, with Emily and Dam behind him.

A figure ahead made Lin Jue's eyes narrow slightly. A large group of students were surrounding a girl, seemingly discussing where to go for fun.

He could sense a strange fluctuation, which became more and more obvious as he got closer to the group of people.

Noticing a girl who resembled one he had previously helped, Lin Jue remained expressionless and led Emily and the others past.

"Ha, the young lady of the Grayson family, ever since she was saved by the Judge, she's been advertising at school every day that whoever finds the Judge will receive a $10,000 cash reward from her!"

Danm, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something and said something meaningful.

"Ten thousand US dollars?"

His words made Emily's eyes widen. She seemed surprised that simply finding information about the judge could earn her ten thousand dollars. As a little money-grubber, she couldn't help but marvel at the generosity of the Highland School students.

"While the Grayson family may not be as powerful as the Wayne family, they still possess considerable wealth in the East End. One branch of their family recently arrived in Gotham, and many in Gotham even call them the 'Flying Graysons.' In short, they are a family with a truly legendary history!"

Dam spoke eloquently, seemingly possessing an exceptional sensitivity to certain events, histories, or news in Gotham.

"Grayson, the Flying Man?"

Lin Jue's eyes flickered slightly as he thought of the woman he had met in the tavern.
