Aisha's elentary school is fundantally different from the one Betty and Billy attend. Aisha attends the most expensive and best private elentary school in the South District, receiving bilingual education in English and French from a young age. After regular school hours, there are mandatory interest classes, and sotis even parents have to attend classes and participate in parent-child activities with their children.
Such an elentary school is undoubtedly good. In fact, the other two children could also afford it, especially Billy. Victor and Nora's salaries are sufficient to send him to a good school, but Xi Wana still recomnded an ordinary elentary school in the East District to them.
This is not because Xi Wana is holding a grudge, but because elite schools are not for ordinary people. Aisha's schedule is filled from 7:30 AM when she arrives at school until 3:30 PM in the afternoon, and after that, she still has to attend interest classes. Interest classes go on until 7 o'clock in the evening, and if her grades are not good, she might have to stay for tutoring.
Although Aisha looks like a little human girl, she is not actually human. Her intelligence and energy far exceed those of ordinary humans, making it effortless for her to handle such a demanding schedule.
But if Billy or Betty were to go through the sa, they would end up in a psychiatric hospital within a month.
Billy is originally a small-town boy who has never been to school and hasn't even experienced basic common sense education. If he had to start with bilingual courses, he might not understand a single word.
Though Betty is introverted and quiet, seemingly studious, her personality might cause her to struggle socially. Social skills are a crucial part of elite education, and being ostracized by the group could make life very difficult.
Therefore, both families wisely chose the most ordinary elentary school, where keeping up with the curriculum is the most important.
Victor and Ron both greatly approve of each other's educational approaches. Shiller, in fact, does not have a high opinion of Arica's elite education system.
In Arica's elite education system, technical talents are still at the bottom of the social hierarchy. As reflected in Arican TV shows, simply having good grades is not enough; those who are good at socializing and have good interpersonal skills are the most popular.
This has resulted in there being very few high-tech talents cultivated dostically in Arica over the past few decades, with the majority of important technical positions held by immigrants. Then the immigration issue has grown uncontrollably difficult to handle.
Shiller does not really care about Arica's fate. The key issue is that this type of education is exhausting for both children and parents. Aisha has to attend dance classes every day, followed by ice hockey classes, and on weekends there are club gatherings that Selina has to accompany her to.
In the first few months of Aisha starting elentary school, Selina even sought psychological counseling from Shiller.
After her stint in Hollywood, Selina was no longer the clumsy girl from the slums. She had grown a lot and could handle upper-class social etiquette with ease.
The key issue is that there had never been any ntion of Bruce Wayne having a child before. Suddenly, Aisha appeared, already attending elentary school, and her mother was a renowned Hollywood star. What exactly was going on?
Many of Aisha's classmates' parents gossiped that Selina was trying to climb up the social ladder with a child, creating various rumors that troubled Selina greatly.
Not to ntion, Aisha was not even her biological daughter, and she and Wayne had never been married. How could she be climbing the social ladder with a child?
Although Selina had emphasized this point countless tis, people still believed she was trying to climb up the social ladder with a child, just unsuccessfully. This forced Selina to book a session with Shiller for treatnt.
After talking with Selina, Shiller discovered that she did not have any ntal issues; she just wanted soone to vent to.
But Selina's way of venting was not to sit and whine about her problems. Catwoman—Shiller preferred to call her a female leopard—vented by cursing like mad.
Throughout the entire treatnt session, Shiller listened to her curse out all the students' parents in various ways, which led him to realize that English curse words were not as limited as he had imagined. At least Selina's phrasing was quite astounding and creative, often lingering in Shiller's mind for about a week.
According to Selina, she sought out Shiller because she did not want to curse in front of Aisha and set a bad example. Shiller thought this was quite necessary. Besides her impressive cursing, she did offer many insights.
Fortunately, Aisha's excellent performance helped her mother earn respect from a factual standpoint. Aisha's grades were very good, and she excelled in all aspects. The parents' attitude towards Selina gradually changed from disdain to admiration.
Beautiful, wealthy, with a remarkable child, and still single. What kind of divine life is this?
An interesting phenonon is that Helen and Aisha grew up in completely opposite ways.
Helen grew very quickly, soon becoming fluent in language, clear in expression, and capable in everything she did. However, she was very impatient with classes, rarely staying interested in one thing for long. She liked to switch between different activities, going wherever seed fun, playing with whatever amused her, and few people could control her.
In contrast, Aisha matured very slowly; for a long ti, she would just cry a lot and did not understand human society very well. But after the initial developntal phase, she beca more human-like, with high focus, career ambitions, and strong execution skills, even though she liked to play, she never compromised her responsibilities.
Shiller did not know if the differences were due to their races, upbringing, or both. But if this was their natural expression, it was fine with him.
Shiller recalled many things from Aisha's childhood, his thoughts drifting further away. Beside him, Ron handed him an Oreo cookie, which Shiller instinctively took but shook his head after seeing it clearly, putting the cookie back in the box.
"You don't like these, Professor?"
"Of course, he doesn't eat any snacks," Victor said. "Whatever you give him, he thinks it's too sweet."
"This really is very sweet," Shiller said, looking at the Oreo cookie. He was not exaggerating; Arican Oreo cookies could practically be called colored sugar, outrageously sweet and throat-clogging after just one or two pieces. Shiller always kept his distance from them.
But Ron obviously did not think there was anything wrong with the taste of Oreo cookies. He finished one pack and picked up another pack of a different flavor.
Shiller couldn't help but glance at the shopping bag. Inside, there were three or four different flavors of Oreo cookies—besides the original, there were also chocolate, strawberry, and lemon.
"Do you like these a lot?" Shiller asked.
Ron nodded. His human form was exceptionally tall and strong. When he held the small Oreo cookie, it looked like he was holding a piece of candy. Hearing Shiller's question, he grinned and said, "Sweets are the greatest invention of you humans."
"And you industrialized this thing into a snack that's available everywhere and affordable for most people. It's simply wonderful."
"Yeah, you don't have the trouble of controlling your weight. It's indeed the perfect dessert for you," Nora couldn't help but say.
Ron looked very pleased. While eating, he explained the differences between the flavors to the Victor couple. Shiller yawned and continued watching the children throw cookie crumbs to the swans by the lake.
But Ron, who was next to him, suddenly sat up. Shiller and Victor couldn't help but look at him.
"Quick, call the children back," Ron said in their minds, "there's sothing off about a guy in this park..."
Apparently, the mont he sat up, he used his psychic ability to call out to several children, who were now standing by the lake looking this way.
Aisha was the first to respond, pulling the other two and running back. When they got back, Ron quickly hugged Betty.
"What's wrong?" Victor asked while brushing grass off Billy's hair.
"I'm checking," Ron turned his body, not letting Betty see his eyes turning red. He was obviously reading sothing with his psychic ability.
"Zod." Ron spat out a na, then shared so information with everyone about the Martian trap plan and Zod's current plan.
It could be said that in so ways, Mars people can restrain Kryptonians, because the Kryptonians' super hearing can't hear the sounds from inside the mind.
Receiving this brainwave information for the first ti, Victor and Nora took a mont to understand, while Shiller grasped the situation imdiately.
"You take the children and leave here first," Ron said in their minds, "I'll deal with this guy."
"No need, buddy," Victor leisurely took a freeze gun out of his bag and said, "Alright, Billy, you're the oldest among the kids, you need to protect them. Use your superpowers if necessary, got it?"
Billy didn't know what was happening, but he was good at reading the atmosphere, so he imdiately ran in front of the two girls and nodded to Victor.
Aisha also figured out what was happening and gave Shiller a look. Shiller shook his head at her, aning there was no need for her help. So Aisha was left with one task: to watch over the truly ordinary Betty along with Billy.
"You have transformation ability, right?" Shiller suddenly asked Ron in his mind.
"Yes, why?"
"Can you fool him?"
"No problem," Ron said, "I can change my body structure from the inside out, not just my appearance. Even scientific instrunts can't detect it."
"Since he wants to enter the inner world, you can find a way to provide him with so clues, so he won't wander around the city."
"Do you really want him to enter the inner world?"
"Of course," Shiller smiled and said, "If the plan goes well, we might be able to take him down on Earth without needing to go to Mars."
"Are you going to make a move?" Victor asked.
"Even if we defeat him on Mars, it would be hard to control him. It's better to solve it once and for all."
"What are you planning to do?"
"A lady has recently made astounding progress in her research. Perhaps we can invite him to experience the latest results."
Ron stood up. He walked behind a tree in the nearby woods, and when he ca out, he had transford into a completely different person—a slightly plump middle-aged man with reddish skin, wearing a golf shirt, holding fishing gear, and heading in one direction.
Zod, strolling on the lakeside path, saw soone walking towards him. When he saw the fishing rod in his hand, he knew the opportunity had co.
