Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Newster, Give Your Child a Bright Future_1

When the armored floating car landed on the parking platform of Newster branch school, everyone in the school tensed up.

Whether students or teachers, anyone who had ever been in trouble tensed their nerves and broke into a cold sweat. Even without paying particular attention, they could learn about the recent actions of the Law Enforcers from the overwhelming news in District Seventeen.

They were indeed arresting people, and after arresting someone, they would send them directly to the suburban prison from which not even money could ransom them.

The suburban prison was for the most violent and evil criminals of District Seventeen. Once incarcerated there, their fates were even more tragic than those of ordinary prisoners; the recidivists saw them as class enemies. In a "free" prison, many things more terrible than losing one’s life could happen.

The principal of Newster branch school personally met Lu Xiang who had descended from the armored floating car, his hands trembling as they shook.

Lu Xiang was dressed very formally today, in the standard uniform for conducting official business, which was a result of Song Lan’s strong insistence. Based on the way the teachers and students looked at her, this proved to be very effective.

After stating her purpose, the principal had a teacher take Anfiya to class, while Lu Xiang and Song Lan stayed in the principal’s office.

"Anfiya’s parents died in a car accident a few years ago, which made her somewhat introverted. I hope you can pay more attention to this child to prevent her from being bullied by her classmates," Lu Xiang said with the solemnity appropriate for official business. Since the school was a boarding institution where students lived and could only go home on Sundays, they couldn’t constantly monitor Anfia’s mental health.

"Don’t worry, our homeroom and psychological counselors will always pay attention to the mental health of every student," the principal assured after knowing that the Law Enforcers were not there to arrest anyone.

"That’s good."

...

The transfer ceremony went unexpectedly smoothly.

"It seems that some of the information online isn’t reliable,"

Back in the armored floating car, Lu Xiang said, "Some people claim that during the transfer, the school charges various additional fees beyond tuition."

For instance, learning materials fee, prosthesis maintenance fee, social activity funding...

When all these items were added up, the cost was nearly twice as high as the tuition fee, which to some middle-class families who were not very rich was a heavy blow.

But during the transfer, the principal did not mention these fees, and if Lu Xiang had not brought up the issue of tuition fees herself, the principal might have even forgotten to collect them.

"Online, people say the principal of the Newster branch school is a greedy, sinister scoundrel,"

Lu Xiang scrolled through the comments, but all they saw was a timid, shaky, and even somewhat forgetful middle-aged man.

"This is all thanks to your reputation and this uniform,"

Song Lan felt that although many comments online were indeed unreliable, the description of the Newster branch school’s principal was probably not far off. All the symptoms he showed after seeing Lu Xiang could be described as having a guilty conscience; throughout the conversation, he had subtly hoped that the two would leave soon.

He had also researched Newster branch school online; it was not a private school, or more precisely, within the United Government’s territory, all education resources were basically in the hands of great families like Newster, who had established branch schools in every city. Besides collecting large sums of money each year under the guise of education, they also screened real talent for the core areas.

If a student showed talent in Psychic Abilities, the Newster family was often the first to know.

They would send these gifted students to the core areas as deemed appropriate or directly to the departments involved in Psychic Abilities research.

The armored floating car slowly drove away from the opulent-looking school, and the brilliant "Come to Newster, give your child a bright future" gradually faded from Song Lan’s line of sight.

On this matter, Song Lan was calm, as he had long been accustomed to it.

In the year 2166, it would be a rarity to find a conscientious family or business.

When they sent Anfiya and Elmon to school, aside from strengthening their theoretical foundations and giving them an understanding of the rescuers of this world, they also hoped that the two children could experience some semblance of childhood.

Spending every day with devourers from the junkyard and the research madmen was not conducive to their growth.

"Don’t make me sound like the Great Demon King."

Lu Xiang glared at Song Lan, "Have you forgotten the pain after your wound healed? Don’t you remember how you were begging for mercy a few days ago?"

After spending a lot of time together, she had roughly grasped Song Lan’s weaknesses.

Perhaps because of his nearly invincible Spiritual Energy strength and abilities, he neglected physical training, resulting in his physical strength being only slightly better than that of a normal person, which naturally couldn’t compare to hers as she had undergone physical training in school.

So, when Song Lan couldn’t use his Psychic Abilities for some reason, he was very easy to subdue by her.

On hearing this, Song Lan’s face stiffened, and he said, "The weather sure is nice today."

"It’s overcast today."

Lu Xiang raised her lips in the manner of a victor, finally putting an end to a significant matter.

She looked back out of the window, where the outline of the Newster branch school was no longer visible.

The school was located in the downtown area, the bustling heart of District Seventeen, where most children of senior executives from the biggest companies were concentrated.

Having left not long ago, she was already worried about Anfiya and Elmon’s school life. Since she had decided to take on the role of their guardian, she had to consider all aspects of their welfare.

"Do you think Anfiya might get bullied at school?"

Lu Xiang couldn’t help asking, as such phenomena were common even in the core areas, and were quite prevalent when she was in school.

It was a common practice among students to pledge allegiance to a ’mountain head,’ often dictating one’s status by the local standing of their family, with those from the big families naturally at the top of the food chain.

And someone like her, with no significant background, naturally became a target for bullying in her first school year.

However, Lu Xiang hadn’t dared to share her experience with Anfiya. It was only after the children settled into school that she talked to Song Lan about what went on there, "Back then, our school had a practical combat training class. I was particularly ruthless during that class. The ones who provoked me often had to lie in the infirmary for several days before they could come out. After a few classes, not many people dared to bully me anymore."

But if Anfiya, implanted with military-grade prosthetic bodies, were to handle interpersonal relationships the way she did, her classmates would probably end up lying in the morgue for several days.

"I can tell."

As someone who had the misfortune of witnessing Lu Xiang fight on several occasions, Song Lan had long realized that Lu Xiang was extremely proficient in joint locks and weakness strikes, often able to knock criminals to the ground with just a confrontation, unable to get up, "I think your transfer to District Seventeen after graduation had a lot to do with this."

"Now, I actually think that coming to District Seventeen isn’t such a bad thing," she said.

"But you don’t have to worry about those two kids," Song Lan said, "Don’t let their young age fool you, they’re both mature, aspiring young people who have outgrown trivial interests."
