Chapter 54

If in the original world, Jin Hyuntae's current experiences were written into a web novel, then his teacher, Linda, would certainly be conceived by the author as a 'great beauty' to allow the 'main character' Jin Hyuntae to open a harem.

Unfortunately, this is not a web novel, but a parallel universe.

Therefore, such a plot is simply impossible.

Teacher Linda, despite having a nice name, is actually a woman over forty-five years old, with a barrel-shaped waist and no sense of beauty.

If someone could have any thoughts about such a teacher, it must be said that such a person has a very heavy taste.

But no matter who likes this type, if they want to start some so-called teacher-student romance, Jin Hyuntae would certainly not be included.

At the teacher's office, Jin Hyuntae met Teacher Linda, introduced himself, and then she led him to the classroom.

Jin Hyuntae, following obediently behind Teacher Linda, watched as her 'swim ring' at her waist jiggled with every step, and with her robust figure, he could only lower his head and follow silently.

Fortunately, Jin Hyuntae did not have any thoughts of starting a teacher-student romance at the academy, so he did not feel disappointed or disheartened.

Teacher Linda was in charge of the 11th grade (Sophomore) A class, which had 22 students. These students included blacks, whites, Asians, and Indians, almost like a mini United Nations.

However, such a situation in the United States is quite normal, as the United States in this parallel universe is also a country with a large number of immigrants.

Therefore, the students in the academy having different skin colors is nothing surprising.

Under Teacher Linda's introduction, Jin Hyuntae gave a brief self-introduction to the entire class, and while doing so, he also glanced at his future classmates.

These guys were sitting crookedly, some with their heads down, some whispering to each other, and some taking out a small mirror from their pockets to admire themselves. Most of them did not pay attention to Jin Hyuntae's self-introduction.

After Jin Hyuntae finished his self-introduction, a sparse applause announced that he was now officially a member of the class.

"Alright! From today, William officially becomes a part of our class. Since he is a transfer student, he is not familiar with many of the school rules, so you all should help him more."

Teacher Linda said some unimportant words at the front of the class, while the students below continued to do their own things, which made Jin Hyuntae sigh.

Back in his school days, who would dare to be so relaxed when the teacher was speaking?

But students in the United States can do this.

Yes, in the American school of this parallel universe.

"William," Teacher Linda, who seemed to be used to such a situation, did not show any dissatisfaction but naturally called out to Jin Hyuntae.

Jin Hyuntae, who was inwardly sighing, quickly responded, "Teacher Linda, you called me?"

Teacher Linda nodded and then gestured with her eyes, indicating that Jin Hyuntae should sit in the last empty single seat, "There's still an empty seat over there, that will be your seat from now on."

Following the direction of Teacher Linda's finger, it was a position in the back corner on the left side of the wall. "Okay," Jin Hyuntae did not find it unacceptable to be seated there, so he responded and walked over directly.

"Hi! I'm Haley, you're very handsome, I like guys like you."

"Dude, I'm Omar, I have a good book, I'll show you when fat Linda leaves."

After sitting down at his seat, a white girl on his right, who was dressed in a mature style and even wore makeup, threw him a flirtatious glance and introduced herself, expressing her personal preference for handsome guys.

At the same time, a black boy sitting in front of Jin Hyuntae turned around and gave him a lecherous wink, telling Jin Hyuntae in a mysterious tone that he had a 'good book.'

Jin Hyuntae could not comment on the white girl's flirtatious glance and her personal preference, so he just smiled shyly in response.

This shy response made the girl named Haley a bit disappointed, "You're a shy boy, although you're handsome, I don't really like your personality. I prefer confident and sunny boys."

Is she a narcissist?

Jin Hyuntae thought to himself, speechless.

We're not that close, are you really going to say that?

So, Jin Hyuntae didn't bother to pay attention to the somewhat narcissistic Haley.

However, for the black boy Omar, who was very friendly, Jin Hyuntae was willing to interact with him, so he pretended to be interested and asked in a low voice, "Is it an adult magazine? How did you get it?"

For the mysterious Omar, Jin Hyuntae could guess what the so-called 'good book' was, even with his knees.

It's just an adult magazine, right?

This thing has no appeal to Jin Hyuntae at all. After all, Jin Hyuntae even has a child, would he treat a book like a treasure like a little kid?

That's what a 'loser' would do, right?

Clearly, the black boy named Omar was already seen by Jin Hyuntae as a 'loser.'

In China, that would be a 'diao si'!

But to be able to make friends with this black boy named Omar, Jin Hyuntae had to pretend to be very interested, even though he felt very uncomfortable inside.

Seeing Jin Hyuntae's expression and tone, Omar immediately thought that he had found a 'fellow enthusiast.' Jin Hyuntae's pretend admiring look greatly satisfied and flattered the 'loser' Omar.

"My brother in college gave me the book, I secretly brought it to school to share with a few good friends," Omar had a 'I'm so cool' look, but the facts he mentioned betrayed his true 'loser' side.

Damn, he actually stole his older brother's adult magazine to show off at school.

What kind of 'diao si' would do such a thing?

"The girls in it are all naked, you know."

The black boy Omar raised his eyebrows, his expression as lecherous as it could be, and emphasized the word 'naked' to Jin Hyuntae.

Ha ha!

Jin Hyuntae could only 'ha ha' in his heart.

Not many students in the class paid attention to Jin Hyuntae, except for the black boy Omar in front of him and the narcissistic girl Haley next to him.

Since Jin Hyuntae was a transfer student, he was not very familiar with everyone, so for now, only the narcissistic girl Haley and the lecherous black boy Omar talked to him, while the other students were secretly observing him and were not willing to interact with him yet.

Jin Hyuntae was happy with this situation, focusing all his attention on dealing with the lecherous Omar.

After chatting with the lecherous Omar for a while, Jin Hyuntae made an excuse that he needed to read a book and stopped talking about those lecherous topics with Omar.

Omar had to temporarily give up the idea of continuing to chat with his 'fellow enthusiast.'

Sitting in his seat, Jin Hyuntae began to carefully observe his classmates.

The class had 22 students, including 7 whites, 3 Indians, 5 Asians, 4 blacks, and 1 Mexican, with 8 boys and 14 girls. Of course, Jin Hyuntae did not count himself in the statistics.

The boys in the class, although not ugly, were not particularly handsome, making Jin Hyuntae stand out like a crane among chickens, being the most handsome in the class.

The girls, although not stunning beauties, exuded a youthful charm, and their vitality could be felt from them.

These girls would occasionally sneak a glance at Jin Hyuntae, the new transfer student, as a new face and a handsome guy in the class naturally piqued their curiosity.

The lecherous 'loser' Omar was an ordinary black boy, with a plain appearance and, like most blacks, a strong 'rap' accent, speaking as if he were rapping.

The bell rang, and a new male teacher walked in. With the teacher entering the classroom, Jin Hyuntae's first American high school class began.

Unlike in China, Jin Hyuntae only understood this after his first class.

In the United States, high school students move to another classroom after each class to attend the next one, which made Jin Hyuntae a bit uncomfortable.

But even if he was uncomfortable, Jin Hyuntae had to adapt, as he was now studying in an American high school, in a parallel universe...

Therefore, after each class, Jin Hyuntae and his new friend Omar would rush to the next classroom like they were in a war, carrying their backpacks, and he also witnessed the crowded hallways of the high school as students rushed to change classrooms.

The teachers, on the other hand, were the most relaxed.

In China, it was the opposite, with students staying in one classroom and teachers moving from class to class.

Jin Hyuntae was learning about this different system for the first time and was adapting to it with a sense of novelty.

And because he had made a new friend, his school life was not so boring and had a bit of color.

In this way, the morning passed quickly. After five classes in the morning, Jin Hyuntae's relationship with Omar had progressed rapidly. Perhaps it was because of the adult magazine or Omar's outgoing personality, but by the end of the five classes, Omar and Jin Hyuntae were already calling each other brothers.

Through Omar's enthusiastic gossip, Jin Hyuntae gradually learned about some of the rules of the high school and information about certain groups of troublemakers.

"Haha! It seems the information I got from American TV shows is quite accurate. Indeed, blacks are well-informed, and making friends with them is a good way to get information."

After successfully obtaining the information he needed from Omar, Jin Hyuntae couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

Yes, befriending Omar was actually part of Jin Hyuntae's plan.

In his previous life, he had watched many American TV shows, which often depicted and portrayed the benefits of having a black friend, whether in school or in society.

These black friends would provide a lot of information and intelligence.

Based on the hints from the TV shows he had watched, Jin Hyuntae decided to give it a try.

And the current results were quite satisfying for Jin Hyuntae.

Indeed, after the five morning classes, Jin Hyuntae could already buy lunch with Omar in the cafeteria and sit at the same table to eat.

Although sitting together for lunch might not seem like a big deal,

In reality, it was full of unspoken rules in American high schools, and the significance was not trivial.

People who were not close, unfamiliar, or not well-acquainted could not sit at the same table to eat.

Those who could sit together for lunch were usually very good friends, buddies, or close companions.

This was a sign of a good relationship.

Although no one would say it out loud, everyone knew this rule.

Omar had already recognized Jin Hyuntae and acknowledged him as a friend, so Jin Hyuntae could enjoy this 'honor.'

Otherwise, Jin Hyuntae would have to find another table to eat lunch alone.

Although this unspoken rule was ridiculous, everyone in the high school knew and followed it, so Jin Hyuntae could not be an exception.

From 11:40 AM to 12:40 PM, there was an hour for lunch break. Most students would come to the cafeteria during this time to solve their lunch problems.

Therefore, the cafeteria was filled with students from the elementary, middle, and high school sections of the academy, and these students would gather at a specific table in a certain area of the cafeteria based on their small groups, with clear distinctions.

The elementary school students sat in the innermost area of the cafeteria, the middle school students in the middle, and the high school students in the most convenient area near the food service and the exit.

It was unclear whether this area division was related to age, but the older high school students occupied the best area, while the elementary school students had to sit in the worst area.

However, Jin Hyuntae did not want to waste his brain cells on this matter.

Jin Hyuntae and the black boy Omar, whom he had mentally nicknamed 'lecherous loser,' came to the cafeteria to have lunch.

Jin Hyuntae bought a vegetable salad, a steak, and a glass of juice.

Omar bought a popular Mexican wrap in this parallel universe, a serving of chickpeas, and a glass of yogurt.

After buying their lunches, the two found an empty table in the high school dining area, put down their food, and sat down.

Sitting down, Omar, who claimed to be from Compton in South Central Los Angeles, a predominantly black neighborhood and the birthplace of two major American black gangs, with an older brother in college and a second brother in a gang, and who wanted to be a star, looked at Jin Hyuntae seriously and issued a very solemn invitation.

"Jin, I think you're a great guy, and your personality really suits me. So I want to invite you to join the fraternity I belong to, and the club 'Human Exploration' that I founded, to become part of the family..."

Jin Hyuntae, who was just about to enjoy his lunch, suddenly lost his appetite upon hearing this.

Mr. Nate from the community had invited him to join the middle-aged and elderly fraternity, which he had refused once. Now, in the school, he was being invited to join a fraternity again.

And this time, it seemed he could not easily refuse.

After all, this was an invitation from his classmate and 'good friend.'

What was the 'Human Exploration' club? Just the name sounded too... Thinking about the name of the club Omar said he founded, Jin Hyuntae suddenly felt his appetite diminish.
