I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

But the girl's current state also left him feeling helpless.

"Alright, alright, I'll let you wear the ring and try it out before you leave."

As he spoke, Depp handed the sling ring to Zeszuru's small hand.

Zesruru took the ring and examined it curiously.

duang!

Depp flicked the girl on the forehead and said, "Watch carefully, I'll only teach you once. First, put the ring on your index and middle fingers."

Ruszeze covered his head and repeated, "First, wear the sling ring on your index and middle fingers."

duang!

Depp flicked him on the forehead again and said, "You turned it upside down. Turn the flat side outwards."

"Okay, okay, the flat side faces outwards."

Zesruru muttered to herself, the words reminding her of her own figure.

Seeing that Zesruru had put on the sling ring correctly, Depp began to mimic the action of drawing a portal: "Next, like me, slowly rotate your arm to draw the portal."

The words had barely left his mouth when Depp immediately frowned: "Holy crap, where am I?!"

Depp looked around and found that he had suddenly changed from being in a lost land to being thousands of meters in the sky.

Meanwhile, Ruszeze was looking around with curiosity.

Furthermore, the people of the Lost Kingdom who were drunk to the point of unconsciousness, along with the long clay table, also arrived at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

Right now, everyone is falling rapidly?

When Zeszuru realized she was falling rapidly, the effects of the alcohol immediately wore off, and she cried out in panic, "Depp, I...I don't know! I just followed your movements and was thinking about the sky I saw when Mera and I swam to the surface."

"Then... a huge, sparkling circular portal appeared beneath my feet, and we..."

Depp covered his head and said, "We all fell down!"

"Yes......"

Zesruru's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

But Depp knew this was not the time to be cowardly. He said to Zesruru, “You are absolutely a magical genius, Zesruru. Now draw the portal using the method I just taught you, but keep the banquet hall in mind.”

Upon hearing this, Zesruru shook her head frantically and said, "I...I can't do it! I don't even know how I succeeded just now, it must have been just a coincidence!"

“It can’t be a coincidence. Magic isn’t something you can use by chance!” Depp said. “You have to succeed, or when the falling speed reaches its maximum, everyone here will be smashed into mincemeat, including you and your father.”

"I...I...."

Ruszeze steeled her resolve and said, "No! None of us can die!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and drew a circle in the sky.

Then, a huge portal formed beneath their feet.

The clanging sounds were incessant, followed by cries of pain.

"Ouch, my back!"

"My leg, my leg feels broken!"

"This alcohol is really strong today. How did it make me hallucinate? I felt like I was floating in the sky."

"Come on, we live at the center of the earth, we don't even have an ocean, let alone a sky."

William Zeze got up and rubbed his broken leg, then turned his leg into mud. Once it was reshaped, the broken leg was healed.

The people of the Lost Kingdom are born with the ability to turn mud into clay, so ordinary severed hands and feet are injuries that can be healed in an instant for them.

William Zeze, his face flushed, let out a burp, then raised his glass and said, "Brothers, my daughter's back today, I'm so happy! Come on, let's have a drink!"

"drink!"

"Respect to King Zeze and Princess!"

"I'll do it! Thumbs up!"

The guys drank several glasses in a row, and then one by one they collapsed to the ground.

Depp and Zeszuru exchanged a glance, revealing a smile that only the two of them could understand.

Zesruru took off the ring and said, "I'll give it back to you, Depp. I almost made a big mistake."

Depp pushed the hand holding the sling ring back and said, "No, quite the opposite. You have proven your talent. From now on, you will use your portal to help the Lost Kingdom establish channels for trade and communication with the outside world. This is your duty."

Upon hearing this, Zesruru was deeply moved and seemed to have found her path to the future.

That is to help the lost kingdom establish trade and exchange channels with the other six countries in the sea, and in the future, even with countries on land.

Depp left the Lost Kingdom satisfied, as Ruszeze's talent amazed him.

In the future, this girl is very likely to become a mage even more powerful than Strange.

Of course, this requires a certain amount of time for training and instruction.

An excellent mage not only needs to be proficient in all magic and possess extremely strong magical power, but also needs to have a steadfast and kind heart.

This was a requirement from the Gutts for their students, and Depp didn't mind bringing that approach over as well.

As for other magic, Depp plans to teach Ruszeze little by little later.

Chapter 324 Clark's Choice

After correcting Zesruru's basic spellcasting rules, Depp returned to the town of Smallville.

Selena was still asleep when Depp returned to the bedside and opened the system's communication panel.

There, dozens of missed calls were linked together.

Five of the calls were from Clark, and one was from Bruce.

The remaining thirty-odd calls were all from Lao Guan.

Depp casually waved his hand and first called Clark back.

beep.

After a brief ring, Clark answered the phone.

“Brother Depp, where have you been these past few days?” Clark’s tone gradually relaxed as he said, “You haven’t been to school for the past few days, and everyone is very worried about you.”

Upon hearing this, Depp glanced at Selena, who was fast asleep in bed, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... I had some family matters to take care of, so I haven't been to school these past few days. Has everyone been studying diligently?"

Clark nodded and said, "Of course, Class 13 is the most self-disciplined class in the entire high school!"

“That’s good…” Depp suddenly asked nervously, “Wait, Clark, while I was away from school, you didn’t sneak into my house to climb through the window to look for me, or use your X-ray vision to peek at me, did you?”

It would be so embarrassing if Clark saw what he and Selena were doing at home this week.

After all, this kid has a history of spying on Lana Lan with binoculars!

On the phone, Clark immediately replied, "Of course not! How could I possibly spy on Depp's house!"

After explaining, Clark thought to himself, "Depp, you're not Lana Lan, so why would I steal from you?"

But does Depp have some secret at home that he doesn't want me to see?

Clark couldn't help but have doubts.

"That's good, that's good." Depp breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Judging from the time, the first round of college entrance exams should be held in two months. I will go to the school tomorrow to test everyone's scores."

“Okay, Depp, everyone misses you,” Clark said. “By the way, Principal Guan has been looking for you. He’s almost frantic. If it’s convenient, Depp, could you give him a call?”

“Okay, I’ll call him back right away.” Depp said before hanging up, “See you tomorrow, Clark.”

Depp then bypassed Lao Guan and dialed Bruce's number.

"What does the big boss of Wayne Group want with me?"

Bruce was on his way to Wayne Group. He said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that Dick has been going too far lately. He's even started skipping classes during the day and constantly picking up girls at school."

“Skipping classes is definitely a big problem.” Depp nodded, then changed the subject: “But picking up girls? In that respect, you’re becoming more and more like me.”

“But this kid is only thirteen!” Bruce said angrily. “In just a few months, he’s flirted with almost every girl in the class, even the chubby girls and the ugly ones.”

Depp thought to himself, "Dick really is a born player; he's only a teenager and he's already showing this talent."

"This kid really isn't picky about food," Depp commented. "But then again, he's still in the experimental and learning stage of flirting, so accepting girls regardless of their looks is definitely the fastest way to improve his flirting skills."

"Are you serious, buddy?"

Bruce said, somewhat devastated.

Although he has no children, it is obvious that Depp's point of view is absolutely incorrect!

“I was just kidding, of course,” Depp said with a laugh. “I’ll be moving back to Gotham soon, and then I’ll have a good talk with this kid.”

"What! You're actually moving back to Gotham? When?"

Bruce emphasized.

Depp calculated the time and said, "Probably one or two months. Once things are settled here, Selena and I will move back."

Bruce, who almost missed the intersection, jerked the steering wheel and made a sharp turn before saying, "I think everyone is looking forward to your return, Depp."

"It would be my great honor."

Depp hung up the phone and began to think about his next move.

When he first brought Selena to Smallville, he wanted to live outside of Gotham for a while, to get some fresh air, and also to meet Clark.

Secondly, it was for Selena's safety, since Catwoman, unlike Robin, couldn't stay by Batman's side until she matured.

Now, Smallwell High School is about to enter the final sprint before its college entrance exams.

Clark will then embark on a new chapter in his life.

Depp estimates that Clark will most likely follow the original storyline, choosing to go to the metropolis alone to make a living after graduating from high school.

Furthermore, both his own strength and Selena's strength are now vastly different from what they were before.

The criminals in Gotham are essentially no longer a threat to the two of them.

In conclusion, Depp then had the opportunity after the college entrance exams.
