C54 (1/2)

Sure enough, the rain stopped soon after. Dick slept on the car, Darwin and I followed M and walked north from the school for about ten minutes before arriving at the edge of the town.

There were a few dilapidated huts scattered about, some trailers parked in the woods, and a black woman with a baby in her arms watching us warily from outside a shabby wooden house on the side of the road.

If I had to use a word to describe this place, I would say that there was no hope here.

There was no running water or gas. Wal-Mart's cheap cans and cardboard boxes were scattered on the ground. Clothes were hanging in the bushes, and occasionally, abandoned locomotives could be seen in the weeds.

I was a little scared, so I followed closely behind Darwin and easily drove across the desolate alley before stopping in front of a trailer.

Perhaps it was M's mother who was sitting in the doorway, a cigarette in her hand, neither greeting nor saying anything. He only glanced at us once before he looked lifelessly into the distance.

”...” See you tomorrow. ” M waved to us.

When Darwin and I walked out of the main road, he made a phone call and it didn't take long for Dick to appear in front of us in his Dodge.

When Dick heard I was living alone on the way home, his eyes lit up.

”Then from now on, we can go to your house for a gathering!”

”Give me your car, and I'll think about it.” I rolled my eyes.

I learned that Dick's father, a colonel and senior U.S. Army official, had moved to Georgia a few years ago:

”My dad was a hero who fought in the Vietnam War! My idol is my dad, so I want to be a hero too, just like the American captain! ” I really can't see that he's a twelfth grader, and his IQ doesn't match his build at all.

His father was usually on duty in the army, so it was just him and his mother at home.

Because the treatment for the troops was good, not only did his father donate a sum of money to the school, he also bought a large villa that was a double body. The main family lived in the front courtyard, so the empty room in the back courtyard was given to Darwin.

Darwin could be considered as a third-generation immigrant. His parents owned a Chinese restaurant in Atlanta and did not pay much attention to him. He was Dick's only friend since seventh grade.

”Can I be a good friend to you? I also want to live in a luxurious villa. ”

”I'll think about it if you take your fee back in your panties.” DickPound revealed a lecherous smile.

I ate it, my English was not good, so I could only secretly curse the DickPound people to live up to their names.

Other people say good things are hard to come by, but I didn't expect the Special Function Society to have one more problem ahead of them.

The next day, when I returned to school, I was summoned to the dean's office.

When they entered the door, they saw DickPound, Darwin and M hiding in the corner like quail.

Sayaka stood next to the Dean of Education with bloodshot eyes. Together with her was a middle-aged Japanese couple.

It was her parents.

”I don't understand why the school would allow such a community to exist. Didn't the society help the children improve their grades? Can special abilities help my daughter go to college? Will Stamford hire her for her Wall Piercing skills? ”

Sayaka's father spoke without end.

”... ”It's not impossible for me to get that special ability...” Dick didn't finish his sentence before he gave the Dean of Education a supercilious look.

”We sent the child to your school so that she could study properly, not to do meaningless things!”

The dean was a middle-aged woman named Ms. Daisy. She pretended to listen attentively to the complaints of the Japanese couple, but her legs were shaking impatiently under the table.

As a 50-year-old woman, she had to deal with the conflict between the school director's son and the weird parents every day.

Having traversed the battlefield for so many years, Daisy had long understood the moves of this kind of parents. She silently infused her true qi into her mouth and activated her ultimate technique — —

”Darling, calm down, Calmdown — I understand you very well (classic American routine 1), and I sympathize with you very much (routine 2). As a parent, you always want your child to have a good education (routine 3), which is our school's idea of teaching for many years (routine 4) —”

”— Well, but I feel that Sayaka is already 17 years old. As an adult, she can decide her own interests and interests, and not let her parents choose for her …”

After more than 40 years of hard work, Daisy's expertise in the classic American citizen system of ”human rights freedom” has reached the point of being one with the world. This move was fast and ruthless, it was extremely effective, it should have forced Sayaka's mother to take a step back.

However, it was obvious that his opponent was not someone easy to deal with. Sayaka's mother had activated her Dantian and in the next moment, her second move had already arrived in front of Dai Xi.

”My daughter said that it's this kid,” he pointed to the back of his hand. ”He tricked her into joining a society, but she didn't want to join at all!”

The DickPound laid on his spear.

”Darling, you were forcefully dragged into the society, right?” His mother switched from attacking to defending, rebounding the damage she received to others. This move was extremely insidious.

Sayaka looked at us, who were standing in the corner, with tears in her eyes. She endured the wave of attacks without making a sound.

”Sayaka, speak!” Father helped him.

Sayaka's body trembled, under the pincer attack from her parents, she quickly lost her IQ, after a while, she could only nod her head.

”F * ck, they'll probably be wiped out.” I said to myself.

”Did you see that? My daughter didn't want to, ”Mom snapped.

”I now have reason to suspect that my daughter was coerced at school, and I even suspect that you have repeatedly pushed our request because you wanted to protect the son of the school director! This is already a form of racial discrimination! ”

Before we could react, the enemy actually unleashed another wave of powerful attacks!

Furthermore, he released two life robbing combo at once — bullying from the school and racial discrimination!

In this magical land of the United States, these two moves were like a deadly strike to all the parents, and even to any other colored people, capable of counterattacking and winning with one move. The other side did not even have the ability to retaliate!

[Racial Discrimination] was a word that could be used to kill people in the United States.

This sir, I think we must have misunderstood something, ”These two moves shook Dai Xi so much that she spat out a mouthful of blood.” Sir, I think we must have misunderstood something, ”These two moves shook Dai Xi so much that she vomited a mouthful of blood.

”You don't know how much effort we've put in to nurture this girl,” her mother said in a tearful voice. ”She has been outstanding since she was young, and she even jumped a level in the fifth grade. She scored a full marks in SAT, was fluent in three foreign languages, was not only a student officer, and could also play a good piano, I dare say that even if she applied for Ivy League studies now, she would still have the chance to be accepted as a student … ”

”...” She should join a society that would help her in the future, instead of being surrounded by an unpopular society and a group of … This will ruin our future! ”

Sayaka's mother firmly said.

Silence.

I think other than me, everyone else can understand why Sayaka's mother didn't say anything about this group of people.

”OKOK, I'll help her check out now.” Daisy obviously did not want to continue this topic, so she skipped the point of debate, ”What kind of society would Sayaka want to join that would be of help to her future development?”

Traditional white aunts are like this. They don't talk too much, but I vow to defend your right to be blind.

When she said this, she did not look at Sayaka at all, but looked at her parents instead.

She implicitly placed the emphasis on the words ”to help in the future”.

The old lady had not lived all these years in vain. She had seen many of these kinds of parents, and her heart was as clear as a mirror.

”Sayaka should at least join one of the popular societies in Ivy Academy, such as the Finance or Drama Society...” Sayaka's mother did not care about Daisy's sarcasm at all.

”Of course, the members of the society should have excellent results just like her. The mentors of the society should have come from famous schools, so it would be better if they were famous people …”

The old lady took a large stack of society documents from the filing cabinet and rummaged through them with shaking feet.

I secretly pulled at DickPound, even if I was not willing to, the right way for us to go out was by sneaking out.
