Chapter 755: Speed Batman (Part 2)
Aisha opened her fang-filled mouth and showed an innocent smile. Schiller vaguely saw some scraps of paper between the gaps between her fangs.
Schiller took a deep breath and then sighed. It turned out that it was not that there was no retribution, but that the time had not come yet.
After Bruce sent Aisha away, he sat down in front of Schiller's desk again. Schiller held a transcript in his hand and said with a very serious face:
"Mr. Bruce Wayne, I must inform you now that your grades have reached a very dangerous level. You have been absent from class, not handing in homework, and not participating in any school activities. This has resulted in you not completing full credits for two years out of your three years of college life."
"This year, you will enter the fourth year of college. If you still have this level of grades during this year, then I have to regretfully inform you that you will...delay graduation."
When the four words "delay graduation" hit Bruce's head, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Yes, Bruce Wayne does not need a college degree. He is rich enough to rival a country. His income every minute may be the annual salary of those college students. He does not need this degree to find a job. No one will look down on him because he does not have a college degree.
However, what others see is Bruce's disguised appearance, the idle playboy, but Bruce himself knows that he is not that kind of person. Going to college is simply too easy for him, so he can't accept the fact that he has delayed graduation.
If he did not take the college entrance examination and did not go to college, it can be said that it was his own choice, but he has already studied to the third year, and he is only one year away from graduation. As a result, he was issued a notice that he may have to delay graduation. It is not very hurtful, but it is extremely insulting.
Bruce absolutely cannot accept his delayed graduation.
Generally speaking, there will be no university in the world that chooses to delay Bruce Wayne's graduation, because it is meaningless. Everyone knows that this playboy is just here to gild himself. Why bother with him?
His academic level is not good, he skips classes, and does not do homework, so what? He doesn't need this diploma at all, and his mind is not on academics at all. Forcing him will only hurt both sides. If he has this time, why not pay more attention to some students who are really engaged in academics?
However, Gotham is a magical place. Here, even the disguised playboy Bruce Wayne can be regarded as a plastic talent. The only person in the class who has better grades than him is called Evans Falconer, the future godfather of Gotham.
It's not that Schiller just wants to fleece this sheep. The problem is that Bruce can still be regarded as a sheep. The others are all dogs mixed in the 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, and no concept or definition can stump him. 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 Gotham.
As for whether Bruce wants to study psychology? At the beginning, he said he wanted to learn it, and he also chose Schiller's class. Schiller reminded him at the beginning, but he didn't listen. Who should he blame?
Bruce looked at Schiller silently, and Schiller also looked at him, and then said very seriously: "You'd better take back those ideas in your mind about bribing the principal to get a diploma."
"Not to mention that Gotham University has no principal now. Even if there is one, if he is willing to pay you for a diploma, then change a principal."
Schiller showed a fake smile, looked at Bruce and said: "Justice Batman, do you want to gamble with a life? Do I have the firm determination to implement academic justice?"
"No need." Bruce replied immediately. He took a deep breath, was silent for a while, and then asked: "How can I graduate normally?"
"I don't want to pursue the problems of the first three years..." Schiller spoke first. Hearing this, Bruce breathed a sigh of relief. If Schiller really asked him to make up for the classes and homework he owed before, he wouldn't have to do anything else this year.
But soon, he knew that he was too happy too early.
"First of all, you must make up the homework and classes you owe in your junior year. I can't make up the classes for you individually, but you can take classes with students from lower grades. In short, you have to retake the course."
"If you can't finish writing a paper of tens of thousands of words in one night, then you must hand in all the homework you owe before the start of school in September, not even a single word."
"In addition, I know your true level, so don't try to fool me with the stuff written by desperate illiterates. I hope you can have an independent project. In addition, you have an internship in the second half of the semester. You must participate normally and cannot miss classes. You also need to hand in the internship report..."
"Also, you haven't attended any of your elective courses, and Evans has always been in charge of the psychology club. You must make up within a year. If I can't see you get full credits this year, then you can wait for graduation to be extended!"
Bruce was still a little dizzy when he walked out of the Academic Affairs Building. He felt threatened, but he felt that the content of the threat was ridiculous.
He never thought that the biggest challenge in his Batman career was not dangerous criminals or difficult cases, but delayed graduation due to insufficient credits.
But all of this was true. In the days before, he fully realized the professor's determination to focus on academics, but he didn't expect that the target of the arrest was himself.
Moreover, professors at other universities usually focus on academics by reading more papers, listening to more lectures, holding more group meetings, and being ready to receive the most cutting-edge research information at any time.
Schiller's focus on academics is usually to walk more at night, participate more in investigations, cooperate more with the police, and be ready to create an accident that kills the principal at any time.
But what happened before has made Bruce realize that Schiller is not joking.
Bruce knows that if he really dares to parachute in a principal who can issue him a diploma, Gordon will have to call him the next day. Gotham University has an unprecedented murder of a principal.
The murderer is unknown, the murder weapon is unknown, but the motive is very clear. The next day, the news that Bruce Wayne bribed the principal because of his upcoming delayed graduation will appear on the front page of the Gotham Daily.
Bruce didn't wake up until he came to the library. He knew that he had only one choice now, which was to study hard and make progress every day.
The previous incident made Bruce realize that he seemed to take himself too seriously. No one except himself required him to be so perfect. The earth would still turn without Batman. In this case, he should focus on more important things first.
During this week, Bruce studied day and night to make up for all the psychology knowledge. In addition, he also learned neuroscience and brain science.
Of course, a week was not enough for him to learn these things in depth, but at least he had a general understanding and made up for most of the papers.
At the same time, what bothered Bruce the most was that he had to relearn basic psychology with the lower grades. Even if he already knew it, he had to go to class because he didn't have enough credits.
So the question is, who does Bruce least want to see among the lower grades?
The answer is Lex Luthor, who had just applied for Gotham University.
When Lex learned that Bruce was going to retake the course, he laughed out loud, a goose cry he had never made in his life. At the same time, he shared this happy news with Clark Kent who was far away in Metropolis. It must have become a beautiful memory between the three of them in the future.
"Lex, what are you laughing at?" Schiller knocked on the podium with a pointer and said, "Why are you looking at Bruce instead of the blackboard? If you think it's funny, I can let you experience it when you are a junior."
Lex silently restrained his expression, nodded to Schiller seriously and said, "Okay, professor, I am different from this hateful playboy. I have a strong interest in academics and I am very happy to listen to your class again..."
Ignoring Bruce's dark face, Lex felt that he had gotten better. Even the rainy days in Gotham could not dilute his good mood, until he had a rear-end collision on the way to his apartment from school.
"Oh, I'm really sorry, sir, we didn't mean it! We will compensate you according to the price!" A lady dressed very gorgeously came out of the car, she apologized repeatedly, but Lex frowned the first time she saw her.
Another fat man also got out of the cab, also kept apologizing, then looked at Lex's car and said: "I'm really sorry, sir, your car looks a bit ugly, I'm afraid it can't be driven, we will call the best towing company now, please do us a favor, we will take you back..."
"No need, there is nothing ugly, you don't have to compensate." Lex said, walked directly back to the cab, stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel and left.
A man and a woman were left in the cold wind of Gotham. The lady stomped her feet hard and walked back to the car with gritted teeth.
As soon as Fatty Leon got back into the car, Mrs. Gold complained, "What's up with Bruce Wayne? Why has he been living in school these days?"
"It's really hell, a playboy like him can stay in school for a whole week, and, according to my daughter, he only goes to the library at school and doesn't even attend parties!"
Fat Leon snorted coldly and said, "Who knows what those rich guys think? He probably has a broken brain and suddenly wants to study."
Mrs. Gold hugged her arms and sighed, "This guy named Luther is not fooled either. Will our method really work?"
"It's rare that two wealthy people gather in Gotham. We must make a concerted effort to pull them both in, and the great king's cause will proceed more smoothly."
"So should we wait for Wayne now, or shift our focus and focus on Luther?" Mrs. Gold asked again.
Leon took a deep breath and said, "Wayne has already shown interest. He is more likely to be hooked. Now he is just tripped up by something. We just need to find out what it is and help him solve it. Maybe we can even gain some favor from him..."
Mrs. Gold nodded and said, "My daughter has a friend studying at Gotham University. I'll ask her to ask what can make Wayne, a playboy, stay in school for so long."
A day later, Mrs. Gold took the phone and said to the receiver, "What did you say? Bruce Wayne has to retake school courses, so he can't spare time to attend the party?"
"Damn it, who dares to fail him??... His psychology professor?" Mrs. Gold changed the receiver and asked, "What's his name?... Okay, I know."
Mrs. Gold hung up the phone and said to Leon, "I found out why Wayne is so busy. His psychology professor, Schiller Rodriguez, is very strict with him and failed his course, so he had to hurry up to retake it, which is why he stayed in school for so many days."
Leon snorted and said : "Study hard? How is that possible? Bruce Wayne is an uneducated bastard. He must have done such a thing just to disguise himself. As long as he is seduced, his true colors will be exposed!"
Mrs. Gode rolled her eyes and said, "I heard that he has a rich love history. Most of the beauties in Gotham have had affairs with him..."
Leon glanced at him, and Mrs. Gode smiled and said, "My daughter is also a beauty. She will go to college this year. I remember that Gotham University opened a preparatory class not long ago. Let her go there to experience college life in advance and get to know Wayne. Maybe she can divert his attention..."
Leon curled his lips. He knew Mrs. Gode's plan very well, but he did not stop her. After all, Miss Gode was indeed pretty. If he used some tricks, he might succeed.
In the office of Gotham University, Victor walked in with a list and said to Schiller: "The classrooms and teaching tools for the preparatory class are ready. Currently, there are three classes, each teaching three different technologies."
Victor gave Schiller a thumbs up and said:
"You are really good. As long as the vocational and technical school is registered under the name of Gotham University, the Wayne family and the Luther family can invest here legitimately..."
"Besides, this is our territory, no one dares to mess around."
