Chapter 757
Aisha bared her mouth full of sharp teeth and showed an innocent smile. Schiller vaguely saw some paper scraps in the gaps between the sharp teeth.
Schiller took a deep breath and then sighed it out. Facts proved that it's not that there's no retribution, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.
After Bruce sent Aisha away, he sat down in front of Schiller's desk again. Schiller held a report card in his hand and said with a very serious expression:
"Mr. Bruce Wei En, I must inform you now that your grades have reached a very dangerous level. Truancy, not turning in homework, not participating in any school activities—this has led to you not earning enough credits in two of your three years of college life."
"This year, you will step into your senior year of college life. If you are still at this grade level this year, then I have to regretfully inform you that you will... be delayed in graduation."
When the four words "delayed in graduation" hit Bruce, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Yes, Bruce Wei En doesn't need a college diploma. He is wealthier than a country. His income per minute might be the annual salary of those college students. He doesn't need this diploma to find a job either. No one would look down on him because he doesn't have a college diploma.
However, what others see is Bruce's disguised appearance, that playboy who has nothing to do. But Bruce knows he is not that kind of person. Reading a college degree is simply too simple for him. Therefore, he especially cannot accept the fact that he is delayed in graduation.
If he hadn't taken the college entrance exam or gone to college, that could be said to be his own choice. But he had already read to his junior year and was only one year away from graduation, but he was issued a notice that he might be delayed in graduation. The damage wasn't great, but the insult was extremely strong.
Bruce absolutely couldn't accept being delayed in graduation.
Generally speaking, there is no university in this world that would choose to delay Bruce Wei En's graduation because it makes no sense at all. Everyone knows that this playboy is just here to gild himself, so why bother with him?
His academic level is not good, truancy, not writing homework—so what? He doesn't need this diploma at all, and his mind is not on academics at all. Forcing him will only lead to both sides suffering. With this time, why not pay more attention to students who are really doing academics?
However, Cat Getan is a magical place. Here, even the disguised playboy Bruce Wei En can be called a talent. The only person in the class with better grades than him is Yin Wensi Falcke, the future godfather of Cat Getan.
It's not that Schiller only wants to pluck the wool from this one sheep; the problem is that Bruce can still be counted as a sheep. The others are dogs mixed into the sheep flock. Whether they are willing to learn is one thing, and whether they can learn is another.
Although Bruce is unwilling to learn, at least he can learn. He has a super memory, no concepts or definitions can stump him, and he has rich social practice experience. More importantly, his combat power is relatively high, which is very suitable for being a psychologist in a place like Cat Getan.
As for whether Bruce wants to study psychology? At the beginning, he said he wanted to study it himself, and he also chose Schiller's class himself. Schiller reminded him at the beginning, but he didn't listen. Then who is to blame?
Bruce looked at Schiller silently, and Schiller also looked at him, and then said very seriously, "You'd better take back those thoughts in your brain about bribing the principal to get a graduation certificate."
"Not to mention that Cat Getan University doesn't have a principal now, even if it did, if he were willing to take money to give you a graduation certificate, then change a principal."
Schiller showed a fake smile, looked at Bruce, and said, "Righteous Batman, do you want to bet a human life on whether I have the firm determination to implement academic justice?"
"No need." Bruce answered immediately. He took a deep breath, was silent for a while, and then asked, "What do I need to do to graduate normally?"
"I don't want to pursue the problems of the first three years anymore..." Schiller spoke first. Hearing this, Bruce breathed a sigh of relief. If Schiller really made him make up for all the class hours and homework he owed before, he wouldn't have to do anything else this year.
But soon, he knew he was happy too early.
"First of all, the homework and class hours owed in the junior year must be made up. I have no way to make up the class hours for you alone, but you can take classes with lower-grade students. Simply put, it's repeating the course."
"If you can't finish a paper of tens of thousands of words in one night, then before school starts in September, you must turn in all the owed homework. Not a single word can be missing."
"In addition, I know your true level, so don't think about using things written by desperate illiterates to fool me. I hope you can have an independent topic. In addition, there is an internship in the second half of the semester. You must participate normally, cannot miss classes, and the internship report also needs to be turned in..."
"Also, you haven't taken a single elective course, and the psychology club has always been in charge of Yin Wensi. You must make up for it within a year. If I can't see you earn enough credits this year, then just wait to be delayed in graduation!"
When Bruce walked out of the administration building, he was still a bit dizzy. He felt threatened, but he also felt absurd and ridiculous about the content of the threat.
He never thought that the biggest difficulty in his Batman career wasn't dangerous criminals or tricky cases, but being delayed in graduation due to insufficient credits.
But all of this was real. In the days before, he fully recognized the professor's determination to grasp academics, but he didn't expect that the object being grasped was himself.
Moreover, other universities' professors grasping academics generally means reading more papers, listening to more lectures, and having more group meetings, always ready to receive the most cutting-edge research information.
Schiller's grasping of academics generally means walking more night roads, participating in more investigations, and cooperating more with the police, always ready to create accidental accidents of the principal's death.
But what happened before had already made Bruce realize that Schiller wasn't joking.
Bruce knew that if he really dared to air-drop a principal who could issue him a graduation certificate, the next day, Gordon would have to call him. Cat Getan University had an unprecedented principal murder case.
The murderer was unknown, the murder weapon was unknown, but the motive was very clear. The next day, the news that Bruce Wei En bribed the principal because he was about to be delayed in graduation would appear on the front page of the Cat Getan Daily.
Until he arrived at the library, Bruce cleared his head a bit. He knew that now there was only one choice, and that was to study hard and make progress every day.
The previous events made Bruce realize that he seemed to have taken himself a bit too seriously. Except for himself, no one required him to be so perfect. The earth would still turn without Batman. Since that was the case, he should busy himself with more urgent matters.
Within this week, Bruce studied day and night, making up for all psychology knowledge. In addition, he also learned neuroscience and brain science.
Of course, one week wasn't enough for him to learn these things very deeply, but at least he understood a general idea and also made up for the vast majority of papers.
At the same time, what gave Bruce the biggest headache was that he had to repeat basic psychology with lower-grade students. Even if he already knew it, he had to go to class because his class hour credits weren't enough.
Then the question came: among the lower grades, who did Bruce least want to see?
The answer was Lex Luthor, who had just applied for Cat Getan University before.
Learning that Bruce was going to repeat the course, Lex laughed out a goose call he had never made in his life. At the same time, he also shared this happy news with Clark Kent, who was far away in Metropolis. Presumably, in the future, it would definitely become a beautiful memory among the three of them.
"Lex, what are you laughing at?" Schiller tapped the podium with a teaching pointer and said, "Don't look at the blackboard, why are you looking at Bruce? If you think it's very funny, when you are a junior, I can also let you experience it."
Lex silently restrained his expression, nodded seriously to Schiller, and said, "Okay, Professor, I'm different from this hateful playboy. I have a strong interest in academics and am very happy to listen to your class again..."
Not caring about Bruce's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, Lex felt that his whole person had become better. Even if it was Cat Getan's overcast day, it couldn't dilute his good mood until he encountered a rear-end accident on his way from school to his apartment.
"Oh, I'm really sorry, sir, we didn't mean it! We will compensate according to the price!" A lady dressed very gorgeously walked out of the car. She apologized repeatedly, but Lex frowned the first time he saw her.
Another fat man also crawled out of the driver's seat, also apologized repeatedly, and then looked at Lex's car and said, "I'm really sorry, sir. Your car looks a bit unsightly; I'm afraid it can't be driven. We will call the best towing company now. Please do us the honor; we will send you back..."
"No need, there's nothing unsightly about it, and you don't need to compensate." After Lex finished speaking, he walked directly back to the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and left.
A man and a woman were left in Cat Getan's cold wind just like that. The lady stomped her feet hard, gritted her teeth, and walked back into the car.
Just after the fat man Leon returned to the car, Mrs. Gode complained, "What's wrong with that Bruce Wei En? Why has he been living at school these past few days?"
"It's really hell. A playboy like him can actually not leave school for a whole week, and according to my daughter, he only goes to the library at school and doesn't even participate in parties!"
The fat man Leon snorted coldly and said, "Who knows what those rich people are thinking? He probably broke his head and suddenly wants to study."
Mrs. Gode crossed her arms and sighed, saying, "This Luthor doesn't take the bait either. Is our method really okay?"
"It's rare that two giants are gathered in Cat Getan. We must go all out to pull both of them in, and the great king's cause will proceed more smoothly."
"Then are we waiting for Wei En now, or shifting our focus and putting our attention on Luthor?" Mrs. Gode asked again.
Leon took a deep breath and said, "Wei En has already shown interest. He is easier to take the bait; he's just being held back by some things now. We just need to figure out what it is and then help him solve it. Maybe we can even exchange for a little goodwill..."
Mrs. Gode nodded and said, "My daughter has a friend studying at Cat Getan University. I'll let her go and ask what exactly can make Wei En, this playboy, stay at school for so long."
A day later, Mrs. Gode held the phone and said to the other side of the receiver, "What did you say? Bruce Wei En can't find time to participate in parties because he has to repeat school subjects??"
"It's hell, who dares to fail him??... His psychology professor?" Mrs. Gode changed the receiver to the other side and asked, "What's his name?... Okay, I know."
Mrs. Gode hung up the phone and then said to Leon, "Found the reason why Wei En is so busy. His psychology professor, Schiller Rodriguez, is exceptionally strict with him and failed his subject, so he has to hurry to repeat the course, which is why he stayed at school for so many days."
Leon snorted coldly and said, "Study hard? How is that possible? Bruce Wei En is just a good-for-nothing bastard. He did such a thing, it must just be for disguise. As long as there is a little temptation, he will definitely reveal his true colors!"
Mrs. Gode rolled her eyes and said, "I heard that his love history is very rich, and more than half of the beauties in Cat Getan have had..."
Leon glanced at her, and Mrs. Gode showed a smile and said, "My daughter is also a beauty embryo, and she happens to be going to college this year too. I remember that not long ago, Cat Getan University opened a preparatory class. Let her go there to experience college life in advance and get to know Wei En by the way. Maybe it can divert his attention..."
Leon curled his lips, knowing Mrs. Gode's plan like the back of his hand, but didn't stop her. After all, Miss Gode could indeed be called delicate. If she used a little more means, maybe she could really succeed.
In the office of Cat Getan University, Victor walked in with a list and said to Schiller, "The classrooms and teaching tools for the preparatory class have all been prepared. Currently, it is divided into three classes, teaching three different technologies respectively."
Victor gave Schiller a thumbs up and said:
"You really have a way. As long as the vocational and technical school is hung under the name of Cat Getan University, the Wei En family and the Luthor family can justifiably invest here..."
"And, this is our territory; no one dares to mess around."
