Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 100
"Brother Merck, please go back first. Dear friends in the escort team, please be careful and disrespectful."

"Okay, Lai, then you should come back early."

Knowing that the overall situation was settled and nothing would go wrong, Merck returned to school with the escort members who were so happy that each of them got a box of high-quality energy cubes just after going out.

"You guys, don't follow me. Go back to your homes. Principal Lai and I will have a chat. Tomorrow morning, you will find someone to repair the glass that needs to be repaired and the ground will be repaired. The money will be credited to my account."

On the other side, Yusaku also arranged the aftermath and dismissed all members.

The two walked side by side on the deserted street at night, but around ten o'clock, there were almost no traces of pedestrians on the road.

Yuzuo was the first to speak: "Principal Lai, I admire you very much."

Lai's expression was a bit playful, and Yuzuo's statement when shaking hands earlier still impressed him deeply: "What do you admire, run a school, or win you?"

Yuzuo said with a serious look: "Both of them are. I admire powerful people, and even more admire those who dare to do things and can do things."

"Oh? Such a high evaluation?" Lai crossed his arms, "In my opinion, in your eyes, before I came, this person was you, right?"

"Haha, you're right. Before you came here, this is how I saw myself!" Without any humility, Yuzuo touched his nose and said with a laugh, "However, I am not as brave as you to do things. I’m not as capable as you, and I’m not as strong as you.”

Patting Yuzu's shoulder, Rai said: "That's not what you are saying. I have heard from the mayor that you, the Thorny Dragon Society, have not done anything bad, but have done a lot of good things. This is what you want to do." Of?"

This question penetrated Yuzuo's heart, and he said with a proud face: "Yes, protecting the turbulent Tianshui Island, and then protecting the entire South China Sea Islands, isn't it cool?"

As he spoke, his eyebrows were raised, obviously waiting for Lai's approval.

However, all that was waiting was a resounding brain crash.

"Snapped!"

"Just talk, why are you hitting me?!"

"Sorry, it's easy." Recalling the feeling on his forehead that was similar to Huayue's, Lai subconsciously apologized, "However, there are some things I really don't want to say."

"I have a stupid friend who also looks like a gangster. You and he look the same, so you two must have something in common."

As he spoke, a familiar red mohawk appeared in front of him.

Shaking his head to get rid of the image of that idiot, Rai continued:

"From what you're saying, you think someone will do it anyway, so why don't you do it, which will not hurt the neighbors on the island, but also deter forces in other places. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. The backbone of our Thorny Dragon Society are basically people from the island. In the past two years, there were really not many people left in the guard team when I guarded it. There were countless forces of various sizes, so I took a few classmates and friends and started Form the Thorny Dragon Society."

As he spoke, Yuzu pointed to the distance: "Those streets in the west and those in the south were all there before, and we wiped them out. Now, except for some small places, there are still some sneaky guys hiding there. We are the only ones on the island.”

"This is a way, but Boss Youzuo, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future? With your abilities, you can build a gym and train a group of disciples, can you do this well? But you are fooled, Forget it now, as time goes by, I'm afraid." For this kind of thing, Yusaku is very open-minded: "We will talk about the future later, and the gym requires money, and the island can't even build a guard team. , how can we have the money to support us in setting up a gym?

To be honest, my friends didn’t live a good life by following me. They said they were collecting protection money, but in fact they were just business neighbors who took care of me and helped each other live.

Compared with the straw bales on the island next to us, our life is far inferior. This time I recruited them with the idea of ​​killing them and then eating them to supplement my income. "

It can be seen that although he has his own youthful spirit, he also includes realistic considerations. Although he is a middle-aged boy, he should be not much different from Huayue, and his nature is good.

Patting Yusaku's shoulder, Rai sighed: "On this island, or in this archipelago, everyone has their own difficulties. In this case, I won't advise you. After all, it's Conditions force us to do so. However, we can work together and you can let it go. If you encounter difficulties, you can ask me for help."

Regarding Lai's proposal, Yuzuo applauded: "This is great, Principal Lai. Although I think I am quite strong, I am always worried that it is not safe. With a master like you, it will be much easier!"

Immediately afterwards, he thought of something again and asked: "But, I am very curious. Principal Lai, are you not from Tianshui Island or from our Nanhai Island?"

"I'm not from here. My home is in the southeast of Wudou Town, called Pal Island."

"So, Principal Lai, what are you doing here, contributing money and efforts, and taking risks? In the past few years, the Alliance has only levied excessive taxes on us. I see batches of people unable to survive. Either become a pirate, go out to make a living, or simply join the world. Why do you come here at this time?"

This is the same question as the mayor, and it is also a question that is not easy to answer, especially for Lai, who is a "direct descendant of the alliance". Although he did not apply for this status, he has not gained any real benefits from it.

He thought for a moment, stopped, and stood opposite Yuzuo: "You may not believe me when I say this. What I hope is that everyone can get equal education, live in a fair society, and pursue what they want. something, and it is within a legal, reasonable and reasonable context.”

"No, I believe it, please continue."

"But now we don't have these, the society is unfair, many people live without dignity, and don't even know what it means to live with dignity. Big cities on the coast, such as Kaina across the sea, have developed economies and advanced technologies. Education and science, something they are born with, have been gained and lost here, and in some places they have never had it.”

"If they are the center, you are the periphery. No matter what you want to say or do, you cannot convey the center. This is structural aphasia."

"To change all this, we need to provide a higher ladder for all of you, even if it is still not as good as those in the big cities, at least there should be one."

"That's what I want to do."

Hearing Lai's words, Yusaku was very touched. After seeing the current situation, Yusaku became more aware of the value of education. However, he found it difficult to understand the dilemma Lai described and asked:
"I know we are on the edge, so what can we do? Or, with us, can we do it?"

Lai couldn't give a specific answer to this question. He just said:

"What to do, how to do it, can we really change this place, and change other places that are the same as here or even worse than here, I don't know. I can only take this step first. As for whether it can be done, I think it is difficult, But it has to be done, so I’m willing to give it a try.”

"After all, you have done some things before, so this at least proves that you can do that. What happens in the future depends on people. This does not just depend on what I do, but also on you and this island. Everyone, what do you want to do together?"

"You said you admired me just now, but that's not necessary, because I hope that everyone is the same as me."

"Are you willing to work with me to do more for your hometown? Let's start by protecting the security of Tianshui Island."
