Chapter 997: Chapter 997

Though it's called a primary school, it's actually more like a chapel.

However, unlike Yate's Suffering Church, the main building of Morrison Primary School is wooden, and it looks just like some countryside chapel.

Yet, the area it occupies is not small. With the open space surrounded by fences, it probably covers about a thousand square meters.

Liu Zheng called Luo Ping.

"Got it, I'm coming out right away."

Shortly, Luo Ping opened the chapel door and came to the gate of the fence.

"Please come in, both of you."

As he pulled open the fence gate, Liu Zheng felt a strange fluctuation disappear.

He nodded and strode into the yard.

After Panda also came in, Luo Ping closed the fence gate.

Although there was no change in the scenery inside and outside the fence, Liu Zheng suddenly had a feeling of being isolated from the world.

"Safety Technique, quite the method."

"Just a bit of a protective measure, nothing special, you flatter me."

Luo Ping said modestly.

"Safety Technique, sounds somewhat familiar."

"As long as you draw a circle on the ground with Great Magical Power, no matter what tigers, leopards, wolves, insects, demons, or devils, none dare to approach. It's more effective than any solid wall. As long as you don't step out of this circle, your safety is guaranteed—this is called the Safety Technique."

Panda recited, shaking his head.

"We call it Absolute Shelter, and its effect is somewhat different from what Mr. Xiong mentioned. Not only can't people from the outside come in, but those inside can't get out either."

"I remember now, isn't this the trick Sun Wukong used to protect Tang Seng? Hmm, but your Absolute Shelter is much better than the Safety Technique."

With people inside also unable to get out, it prevents high blood pressure-inducing plots like Tang Seng being tricked out of the circle by a demon.

"Who are Sun Wukong and Tang Seng?"

Panda asked curiously, and Luo Ping was also puzzled.

"Characters from a novel; if you've never read it, never mind."

Seeing that the two "people" didn't know, he didn't explain further.

It seems that people in Metropolis don't know "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Journey to the West," so they probably don't know "Water Margin" and "Dream of the Red Chamber" either.

Is there something special about the four great classics?

The thought flashed in Liu Zheng's mind and then disappeared in an instant.

There are too many unique aspects of Metropolis, and he was too lazy to get to the bottom of it, since he didn't plan on copying books anyway.

"It's just time for recess. Jane, bring the kids out to play."

Luo Ping shouted towards the second floor of the chapel.

"Okay, Principal Luo Ping."

The window on the second floor opened, and a woman stuck out her head and called to Luo Ping.

She had short brown hair and a pair of brown eyes, was petite, and had a plain appearance, but altogether, she had a peculiar charm and vitality.

After seeing Liu Zheng and Panda, Jane seemed startled and retracted her head into the window.

But she quickly realized such behavior was impolite, so she forced herself to bow to them before closing the window.

"Her name is Jane Eyre, and she is the supervisor, teacher, logistics manager, and caretaker of Morrison Primary School."

"You might as well say she's the executive deputy principal, responsible for the overall work at Morrison Primary School."

"You could say that." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel✦fire.net

Soon, the chapel door opened again, and a group of children ran out.

Most of them were humanoid, while a few were animals, half-animals, or something else.

The clothes they wore were also different, seemingly customized according to their body types.

However, on the upper left side of their clothes, each had a top hat-shaped pin.

After the children ran out, they didn't immediately scatter but were restrained by Jane to stand in front of Luo Ping and then lined up in order of height and size.

"Principal Luo Ping, Morrison Primary School's expected attendance is 45, present attendance is 45, awaiting your instructions."

Jane said loudly with her right hand clenched to her left chest.

"All of you, free activities within the yard, dismissed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the children scattered, joyfully playing in groups of three or five.

Some bold children were curious about the two strangers and wanted to join the fun, but were shortly fetched away by Jane.

"Your management tactic is quite effective."

It also felt very familiar.

"The previous supervisor, Mr. Sun Shuren, managed it this way; I'm just following his lead."

Luo Ping said modestly.

"You followed well. For professional matters, one should heed professional opinions; sometimes, sticking to traditions is the more correct choice."

He commented reflectively.

The high school Liu Zheng attended was of mid-high level locally. Although it never produced graduates who got into Tsinghua or Peking University, there were always a few who got into 985, 211, plus a dozen or so into regular elite schools each year.

Until his year, when a new principal was appointed who preached educational innovation and making breakthroughs, then made a chaotic series of reforms.

The results were undeniably "delightful": a bunch of outstanding teachers left, not a single student was admitted to 985 or 211 in that college entrance examination year, and the principal himself was demoted to manage logistics at another school.

"Indeed so. Please follow me."

Luo Ping led the two into the chapel.

The inside of the chapel didn't have a religious atmosphere; it was furnished with desks, bookshelves, storage cabinets, and teaching equipment.

Only the place where a religious statue should be placed had a bust statue, wearing a top hat and sporting a mustache, with facial features that had a seventy percent resemblance to Luo Ping.

"This is my father, LeBron Morrison, the founder of Morrison Primary School."
