American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Principal Tom gestured for Grandma Connie to be quiet, then asked Gretel again if she had anything to add. Only then did he turn to Grandma Connie and Mike: "What do you two say?"

Just as Connie's grandmother was about to continue speaking, Mike took out the injury assessment report, placed it on the table, and said, "I am very sorry for the conflict on the court, but I can assure you that Sam provoked me first, and he also laid a hand on me first."

At this point, Mike looked at Gretel and continued, "If you don't want to settle, we can call the police right now. Believe me, with the medical report, your best outcome is to prove that Sam and I fought and both of us are sent to jail."

Upon hearing Mike's words, Gretel didn't react much, but Sam was startled first.

Coach George then spoke up, stating that there were players on the field who could testify that Sam initiated the attack. He also pointed out that Sam's act of hitting someone with his helmet was highly unethical.

Chapter 19 Status

As the person involved, Sam clearly knew that he was the one who provoked the other on the court.

All signs now indicate that the fault lies with him, especially since he never expected that Mike would bring a medical report on his injuries.

Sam, who was a bully who preyed on the weak, was fooled by the false impression deliberately created by Mike, and stammered in a panic, "I...I agree to settle, please don't call the police."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent. Principal Tom, representing the school, also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's important to understand that it's not a good thing for serious incidents on campus to be exposed.

On the other hand, Gretel didn't really think the school could expel Mike. He just wanted to use his son's injury to gain sympathy and get more money from the school.

Seeing his son's lack of ambition, he cursed in frustration, "Useless!"

Then, disregarding Sam's feelings, she slammed the door and left the principal's office alone.

Sam, the child without a father's love, was left alone to face the menacing gazes of Mike and his gang, and he felt as if he had shrunk in size.

He looked at Principal Tom and asked cautiously, "Principal, given my condition, could I ask for a few more days of sick leave?"

Seeing the boy's pitiful appearance, Principal Tom felt some sympathy and said, "Go on, child, I've granted you special sick leave. Come back when you've recovered."

With things having come to this point, the conflict between Mike and Sam has come to a satisfactory conclusion.

After Sam and his son left, Mike beckoned and took the few orbs of light they had left behind.

[Constitution Attribute +1]

Strength attribute +5

[Injury and Illness Resistance +3]...

The main attribute of strength was left behind by Gretel when he left, which means he was quite angry today.

Then, Mike, feeling relaxed, accompanied Connie's grandmother out of the office.

Facing the expectant eyes of the students in the hallway, Grandma Connie said happily, "Thank you for your concern, Mike is alright now. We've won!"

"Long live!" xN

The students who remained there had been waiting for this good news. They cheered immediately, as if justice had triumphed over evil.

Hearing the cheers outside, Principal Tom shook his head helplessly, then pushed open the door and called out, "Don't you all have class? What grade are you in...?"

As the principal roared, the students in the corridor quickly fled.

The school returned to its usual tranquility.

Grandma Connie smiled and waved to Mike before leaving the school with a flourish.

After seeing Connie's grandmother off, Mike turned around and found Lina, a classmate, and several other girls hiding nearby, still there.

Surrounded by the girls in his support group, Mike returned to the classroom.

As a top student, Mike was naturally ostracized by his classmates. However, after this fight, the boys in the class looked at him with a bit more kindness.

Only Sheldon seemed a little unhappy because Mike was interfering with his studies during class.

However, Mike became famous overnight and officially rose to become a prominent figure at the school.

During lunchtime, Lina, along with several girls from her fan club, approached Mike again and invited him to have lunch together.

At school, popularity is a measure of status.

Mike accepted Lina's invitation, and the group of them roared past, becoming the most beautiful sight on campus.

While hiding in the library and enjoying his packed lunch with Sheldon, Dan, seeing Mike's glamorous appearance, said enviously, "I wish I could have so many girls liking me."

Young Sheldon glanced at Mike's departing figure and said disdainfully, "Being with those simple-minded people won't make Mike's lunch any more delicious."

Dan looked at Sheldon in surprise, thinking to himself: Can Sheldon only see lunch and not all the girls fawning over Mike?

In the school cafeteria, Katie saw that Mike was surrounded by so many people, but she didn't go over to join in the fun.

She knew about Mike's troubles these past few days, but since she couldn't help him, she could only watch from the sidelines and offer her support.

Of course, because Katie is becoming more and more confident, she has also made two new friends in her class in the past two days.

One is Janice, a punk girl who doesn't like men, and the other is Damian, a sissy who doesn't like women.

Both of them were also excluded from other groups in the class because of their respective quirks.

Seeing Katie's fixed gaze on the dazzling Mike in the crowd, the effeminate Damian said, "If you like someone, you should seize the opportunity. If you don't take action..."

At this point, Damian put on a shy expression: "I don't know, whether he likes men or not."

“NO!” Katie shuddered, warning, “Mike likes girls.”

After giving Damian a disdainful look, punk girl Janice said to the emotional Katie, "Damian may be disgusting, but he's right. If you like someone, you should make your move quickly..."

Then, Janice gestured to a spot and continued, "I heard that Queen Bee Regina is very interested in that Mike."

Katie glanced in the direction Janice was pointing and, sure enough, saw the three members of the "Devilish Figures" group. Regina, in particular, was staring intently at Mike in the crowd.

On the other side, Regina wore her usual smile, but muttered under her breath, "Those damn bitches, how dare they get close to Mike, they're like flies..."

Then, she said to Karen with the big waves next to her, "Have you found out everything? Which girl is Mike closest to at school?"

Karen replied in a low voice, "Mike is very disciplined at school, but he's quite close to Katie, the transfer student in our class."

"Katie? Who's that?" the beautiful Regina asked in confusion.

So, Karen had no choice but to give Regina a direction, even with a headache.

Regina turned her head and her eyes met Katie's. Both girls kept smiling, then simultaneously looked away.

Regina, unconcerned, said, "So it's that little bitch from the countryside. You guys keep a close eye on her from now on, and report to me immediately if anything happens."

Seeing this, Karen and Gretchen could only nod in agreement.

On the other side, Katie felt the pressure after she looked away.

However, the thought of Mike coming to visit over the weekend brought a smile to her face.

And she decided in her heart that she must make a good impression on Mike over the weekend.

Mike, on the other hand, was unaware of the two twelfth-grade girls, because he had already had a conflict with them.

After having lunch with Lina, he chatted with her casually about everyday things during the afternoon self-study period.

Lina is now not only the leader of Mike's fan club, but also, thanks to her outstanding beauty, she has been voted one of the most popular girls in eleventh grade.

Of course, Mike's willingness to get to know her wasn't solely based on her looks.

During their conversation, Mike also picked up a few thought attributes from her.

As it turns out, Mike is also a gentleman who values ​​inner beauty.

During the afternoon outdoor training session, Mike removed the bandage from his neck and rejoined rugby training.

Chapter 20 Daily life

The bandage around Mike's neck was just a disguise; now that the fight has been resolved, he no longer needs to pretend.

Because of the previous conflict on the field, Coach George personally taught Mike some basic football knowledge today.

[Rugby Experience +10]

[Rugby Experience +8]

[Rugby Experience +5]...

Coach George is like a treasure trove of experience; as he diligently teaches football, he seems to radiate a constant glow.

Before long, Mike's football skill level reached lv2, which meant he was ready to play in matches.

And that's not all. As the players on the court began to do competitive training, Mike also picked up quite a few balls of light from them.

Strength +3, Speed ​​+1, Rugby Experience +2...

Exercise of a certain intensity can produce endorphins, which can make people feel happy without them even realizing it.

This sense of pleasure would make the team members continuously contribute small orbs of light to Mike.

Coach George gave Mike a one-hour theory lesson, and then called over the mild-mannered Aaron.

After giving Captain Aaron a few more instructions, Coach George had Mike follow the other team to the court for competitive training.

Compared to Sam's arrogance, Captain Aaron was much more mild-mannered.

He first introduced Mike to the key points and tips of collisions, and then had Mike as the attacker and himself as the defender to begin training.

Another hour passed, and Coach George announced the end of training.

Today is Friday, and upon hearing the order to dismiss, the team members cheered and ran off the field.

Aaron patted Mike on the arm and said, "You have a lot of potential in football. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to come to me anytime. Of course, if you want to practice extra on the weekend, you can also give me a call."

With a smile, he waved to Mike before Captain Aaron slung his tool bag over his shoulder and left the field.

It's clear that after an hour of practice, the football captain has given Mike his approval.

Not long after Aaron left, little George came over and asked familiarly, "What were you talking about just now?"

"It's nothing, just training stuff," Mike replied.

Upon hearing that it wasn't anything interesting, little George first shook his head, then suddenly said happily, "Come to my house tonight, we can sneak some of Grandma Connie's wine."

Every weekend, George and Mary would leave the children behind and go out for some time alone.

At this time, George and his children would ask their grandmother Connie to take care of them.

Given Connie's generous personality, during this period, George and his two children were allowed to do many things that their parents wouldn't normally allow.

Mike's appointment with Katie wasn't until tomorrow, and since he had nothing to do tonight, he decided to accept George's invitation.

At that moment, Lina appeared at the sidelines of the court. When she saw Mike, her eyes lit up and she ran over.

"Mike, are you free in a bit? I have two movie tickets here..." Lina was still a little out of breath from running so fast, but a bright smile still appeared on her face.

George glared at Mike with envy at Lina's beautiful appearance, then wisely took two steps back.

"Okay, let me change my clothes first." Mike hesitated for only a second before accepting Lina's invitation.

After Mike quickly showered in the changing room, he came out and little George was nowhere to be seen, while Lina was waiting prettily at the door.

Seeing the thin fabric clinging to Mike's body because he hadn't wiped the water droplets off, Lina couldn't help but swallow hard.

The two of them have movie tickets for the 6 PM to 8 PM showing, and it's only 5:30 PM now, so there's plenty of time.

So the two of them finally decided to walk to the movie theater.

Along the way, Lina chattered like a happy little bird.

The two chatted as they walked and finally arrived at the movie theater just before six o'clock.

Because it's the weekend, the movie theater was packed today.

Mike went ahead and bought a large box of popcorn and two cups of Coke before entering the screening room.

"August Rush" is a popcorn movie, but it can also be considered a romance film.

Mike and Lina were seated on the side, and it was unclear whether the girl had done it intentionally. The people sitting next to them were almost all young couples.

As the theater darkened and soft, seductive music began to play, Mike felt the girl beside him breathing heavily.

Mike was a gentleman, but after Jennifer's experience, he was quite adept at handling the current situation.

Two hours later, Mike had no idea what the movie was about.

Stepping out of the movie theater, the sun was still high in the sky. Lina's face was still slightly flushed, but compared to the romantic atmosphere inside the theater, she had regained her cheerful demeanor.

Mike tacitly drove Lina home; the girl lived in a rather remote area. However, the detached apartment in front of them looked much more luxurious than Connie's grandmother's house.
