69novels Chapter 15: Chloe Sullivan
Chapter 15: Chloe Sullivan
Summer had just ended in Smallville, and the autumn sun warmed the cornfields on the farm, while the wind carried the sweet scent of hay and earth.
This year,
Lucas is seven years old.
Clark is now over six years old and has become much more skilled at controlling his strength, so he almost never loses control.
The carefree life is about to be gone forever.
At Ms. Martha's suggestion.
The two enrolled in Shiqiang Elementary School and became full-time elementary school students.
This is a branch campus opened in the United States by a British school of the same name.
There are two buildings in total, located at the southernmost part of the town, specifically designed to address the school enrollment issues for the children of farmers in the town.
It is precisely because of its unparalleled public welfare nature that it has inevitably become a model of joyful education in Kansas.
Of course, Shiqiang Primary School is not an isolated case.
Apart from private elite education, almost all primary schools practice joyful learning, except that this place is even more "joyful".
There were no exams, no homework, no punishments, and not even textbooks.
During class, there was only one A4 sheet of printed paper with the English letters A, B, C, and D written on it.
As for textbooks, they are the school's public property, and the whole class shares one set.
They are placed on the bookshelf in the classroom, and students take turns flipping through them during class and leaving them after class. They are not allowed to take them home, thus maximizing their recycling potential.
As a result, more than half of the students lost their textbooks by the time they went to class the next day.
But it doesn't matter, since they hardly talk during class anyway, it's mostly just playing games.
The main message is that it doesn't matter whether you study or not, the most important thing is to be happy.
This aspect satisfied Lucas to a certain extent.
Because he still has enough time to exercise every day, it's just that he's moved from the farm to the school, that's all.
However, to avoid attracting too much attention
While at school, Lucas only did the simplest, most basic exercises.
I'll practice the rest secretly when I get home.
He did the calculations.
Classes start at 9:30 a.m., lunch is at 11:30 a.m., there is a one-hour lunch break, and school ends before 2 p.m.
I spend at school for a maximum of three and a half hours a day.
Other than that,
No classes on Saturdays and Sundays, no classes in windy, rainy, or snowy weather, no classes if the teacher has an emergency...
Absolutely brilliant!
During class, Lucas relentlessly honed his [Divine Insight] and [Super Hearing] skills.
The biggest improvement is in [Super Hearing].
Originally, he could only clearly hear people talking within a mile, but after graduating from elementary school, he could clearly hear any whispers within a ten-mile radius.
They have also made great progress in terms of strength.
He could easily lift Jonathan's somewhat faded, unreliable, and several-ton farm tractor high above his head.
Lucas felt he could throw the farm tractor hundreds of meters away at will, if he wanted to.
His endurance and running speed have also improved significantly.
Lucas can run at full speed for five or six hours without rest.
Within ten minutes, he can make two round trips from his home to the town center.
With a powerful jump, one can leap more than 20 meters and over 10 meters high. The toughness and strength of one's flesh are greatly increased. An ordinary fruit knife can only leave a shallow white mark on the body. However, if there is bleeding, the recovery speed is still the same as that of an ordinary person.
Clark's changes were equally evident.
When he was in K5, he also lifted Jonathan's old tractor, but due to an unstable force, the tractor accidentally tipped over.
Jonathan didn't blame Clark, but he meaningfully advised the future Superman to hide himself well and never reveal his power in front of others. Before people could accept something beyond their comprehension, he had to pretend to be an ordinary person.
She had no idea that her eldest son was the most perverted one!
After all, Lucas always tested his strength secretly.
With his keen insight, he can easily be alerted before others discover it.
The only drawback is the "survival of the fittest" characteristic.
The progress is less than one-tenth.
...
...
2000 years.
This is an unusual year.
The Kent brothers successfully enrolled at Smallwell School as two seventh-grade freshmen.
The first day of class.
Lucas wrote a name on the paper—
Bruce Wayne!
If he remembers correctly, it was on a certain day of that year.
The parents of Bruce Wayne, the future Batman, Avenger, and Gotham Knight, will encounter robbers on Park Street.
This was originally a spur-of-the-moment robbery.
In a place like Gotham, it's completely harmless.
Joe Zier stopped the Waynes and took a liking to the pearl necklace around Martha Wayne's neck. Then, in Thomas Wayne's valiant resistance, the couple were both killed.
Although Lucas really didn't understand,
Why would Thomas Wayne choose to resist such a dangerous act when he had no guns?
They were even more puzzled as to why the Wayne couple, who possessed wealth comparable to that of a nation, didn't even have a bodyguard.
It's important to understand that Gotham City was already extremely chaotic at that time, with rampant crime, overcrowded prisons, corrupt police departments, and collusion between the underworld and law enforcement.
But he understood this kind of behavior.
After all, how can a superhero awaken without sacrificing a few loved ones?
If superheroes don't awaken, where will humanity find a bright future?
He put away his pen and then casually picked up a newspaper.
The top part reads "Torch News".
The editor-in-chief is not Chloe Sullivan now, but a retired journalism teacher.
The top page features the main news.
In order: major school news, local town news, and major social news.
Lucas's attention was mainly focused on the section on major social news.
[New York] New York International Airport descended into extreme panic and chaos this evening.
A Boeing 777 passenger plane carrying more than 200 passengers and crew members, which took off from Berlin, suddenly and silently landed on an abandoned runway at night after losing contact.
Eyewitnesses at the scene said that after the plane landed, all the lights in the cabin went out, plunging the cabin into a deathly silence.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's biochemical threat investigation team has been dispatched to the site immediately.
According to internal sources obtained by this station, Dr. Ephraim Goodwinzer, head of the Canary Team, boarded the plane and confirmed that everyone on board showed no vital signs.
Lucas frowned, and just as he put down the newspaper, a girl with short, curly blonde hair suddenly leaned close to him and said familiarly:
"What a coincidence, you also like to read the Torch News. I especially enjoy reading it too; I think we could run for editor-in-chief of the Torch News when we were in ninth grade."
Lucas looked up at the girl.
The other person has fair skin, short curly blonde hair, an oval face, light brown eyes, a slightly pointed chin, a capable demeanor, and a neat, mature style of dress.
"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself, Chloe Sullivan."
Seeing Lucas looking at her, the girl immediately reached out her hand.
