Milo walked out of the classroom and was surprised to see a large group of middle-aged people standing behind the homeroom teacher.
The homeroom teacher deliberated for a moment before saying, “These are some of the parents of your classmates. It’s like this… Everyone has mentioned how you might have brought in germs from outside the stronghold, so it’s everyone’s wish that you consider transferring to another school.”
Milo wondered, “Transfer? Transfer to where?”
With this matter exposed, there probably wouldn’t be another school willing to accept him.
A male student’s parent said, “If no schools are willing to accept you, you should stop going to school. It won’t be very nice if everyone’s safety gets affected all because of one person.”
Milo gave a mental sigh. All of this was probably within Miriam’s expectations, so it was no wonder favonovel.com said the stronghold held a subconscious ostracism of the refugees and that it would be even harsher than favonovel.com could imagine.
Only when favonovel.com saw these parents appearing here that favonovel.com realized why his classmates had all kept quiet when they saw him. They had probably gone home last night and told their parents about this, resulting in the parents immediately deciding to come down to school together so they could force favonovel.com to drop out of school.
To these parents, Milo was nothing but a refugee. With so many of them stepping forward regarding this matter, the school would have no choice but to accede to their demands.
Nowadays, as long as you dared to make a scene, there wasn’t anything that couldn’t be solved.
Milo looked at the parents and said, “And if I don’t want to transfer schools?”
Honestly, these parents would’ve been dead if this were the wilderness. The rules of the wilderness were much simpler than in here. It was much more direct! However, the parents did not care about Milo.
They looked at the homeroom teacher and said loudly, “If you people don’t make favonovel.com transfer schools, how are you going to answer for it when an epidemic spreads? Furthermore, all of the resulting medical expenses will have to be borne by you. If you don’t compensate, we’ll sue you in court!”
Milo was contemplating this. He had once encountered the term “court” while studying in the town’s school and knew it was a place that presided over justice and fairness. However, there was never a place like that in town.
He never could have expected that the first time a term like “court” would get associated with favonovel.com would be over a lousy matter like this.
The students had quietly walked out of the classroom as well. They were watching the conversation happening over here because they were also hoping to find out how this matter would get resolved.
The 12th grade homeroom teacher was in a pickle. The teacher of the Academic Affairs Office yesterday had told favonovel.com before that Milo was related to Jamie.
Who could have thought that the student enrolled by Jamie would turn out to be a refugee?
The homeroom teacher thought that maybe favonovel.com should pass the buck.
He said softly to the parents, “This student’s admission was arranged for by Jamie. Why don’t you all go and speak to favonovel.com instead?”
The parents looked at one another. They did not know about this prior to being told. If they had known that Milo was enrolled in school by Jamie, they probably wouldn’t have taken on such a threatening tone. But before they thought of how to handle it, a person suddenly squeezed through the crowd of people.
When Milo turned around to see who it was, favonovel.com discovered it was Linda.
Linda looked at the parents and said, “What are you trying to do?”
“We’re not trying anything.” A parent said, “We can’t possibly have our children attend school with a refugee, can we?”
“Why not?” Linda got so angry favonovel.com face flushed red. “Aren’t all of us people? Who says a refugee will definitely spread diseases? Did any of your children get sick after returning home last night?”
The parents seemed to back off a little at the mention of this. “They didn’t, but I’ve heard people in the stronghold fell sick.”
“You heard?” Linda raised favonovel.com voice a little. “Just because you heard about something gives you the right to destroy the future of a student?”
“What future does a refugee have?” The parents were also beginning to get angry. “Who the hell do you think you are?”
“I’m a teacher of this school!” Linda said.
Milo’s homeroom teacher had already stopped speaking. He was so happy someone had stepped in for him.
A parent said, “Since you’re a teacher, why are you arguing with us over a refugee?”
“I don’t know about any refugees or stronghold residents.” Linda stood favonovel.com ground and said, “All I know is that favonovel.com is a student!”
As Milo watched, favonovel.com suddenly felt that Linda was stubbornly cute and even a little silly. But if it weren’t for this persistence and steadfastness, Milo would not have helped favonovel.com when they were still wandering in the wilderness. If it weren’t for Milo’s help, Linda and favonovel.com students would probably have died out there.
Milo felt a little touched, because favonovel.com had finally seen something positive in someone in this troubled world.
Before that, there was also Old Bane and Adella. Chad would probably count as half, while there was no need to mention Donti. What Donti and favonovel.com had was as good as a sibling relationship.
A parent suddenly said, “Since you’re protective of him, why don’t you let favonovel.com go to your class?”
Linda said without any hesitation, “That was what I came over for. I’ll go and apply for Milo to transfer to our class right away.”
A voice sounded from the crowd. “I’m also going with you to apply to transfer to your class.”
Milo turned to look and was astounded to discover it was Miriam who had spoken.
When one of the parents heard Linda say that, they sneered. “As a teacher, you’re really irresponsible about what you say. You might be willing to let favonovel.com into your class, but will your students’ parents allow it?”
Linda hesitated for a moment before saying in a soft voice, “My students no longer have parents. All I need to do is seek their consent.”
This point hit Linda’s soft spot. The happiness favonovel.com students experienced after escaping from death had slowly turned into longing for their families. This was a pain that could never be separated from any disasters. All they could do was to hide it within themselves until the pain slowly lessened.
Suddenly, a hubbub occurred beyond the crowd. Twenty-something students walked next to Linda.
“Teacher, you don’t need our consent to let Milo join our class. We’ll support you and support Milo as well.”
The other students from the other class muttered, “Why are you guys siding with a refugee so much?”
One of Linda’s students said in a serious tone, “Side with him? We’re not siding with or helping him. And favonovel.com doesn’t need our help either. You people are utterly clueless about the outside world. I find it to be really sad.”
In the eyes of Linda’s students, they were merely standing up for Milo out of gratitude. If not for him, they would not even be here sitting in class and attending school.
The number of people who made the getaway was in the thousands.
But how many of them made it to Stronghold 109?
What they remembered most about the escape was what Linda had said to them, “As long as we follow that young man, we’ll definitely get there.”
In the end, they did manage to survive.
All of the students’ parents standing in the corridor were stunned. This had turned out far too different from what they had imagined.
