　"So, next, I will begin to highlight the key points for this final exam, please open your textbook to page 1, let's start with the table of contents and work our way down, from the first subsection of chapter 1 all the way to the last subsection of chapter 10, all of them are key points ..."

　　"Turning down the page, the first 50 pages of the book will have to be memorised except for the pictures, all conceptual statements will be in the form of fill in the blank questions on the paper and after the third sub-section of chapter 2 on page 60, the section after that will have expository and short answer questions ..."

　　"In addition, for the relevant content after chapter 7, I will select an important part of it for your final paper, which will still be 3000 words, with a 7:3 ratio of marks assigned to the paper and a 6:4 ratio of marks assigned to the paper and the usual marks."

　　"That means that if you cannot get a good grade on the paper, then you are bound to fail the course."

"In addition, in accordance with the usual tradition of Gotham University, starting from the next academic year, I will prepare and form an additional psychology major course, if you want to participate in this course, you must achieve an overall score of 85 or above in this final exam, the relevant clubs and societies are also being prepared, those who are interested in being the director and club leader can drop by my office after class."

　　"Okay, class is over."

Schiller closed his book and walked out of the classroom before the students at the bottom relaxed and then began to whine.

　　"Oh my God! This book is thicker than my fist, and I have to actually memorize it all!"

"Do you guys think he'd give me a bullet if I flunked a test?"

　　"I haven't seen him with any pistols or revolvers, I'm guessing he probably uses cold weapons, like spikes and knives."

　　"Who remembers what was just said in chapter 3? Where does the exposition question start?"

　　"Help! Evans! Evans! Are you there? Do you have your notes? Lend them to me, damn it, I've been coming in after I've been high for a good part of the semester and I haven't listened to anything!"

　　"My dad would cry if he knew I was studying so hard at uni!"

Bruce was also sitting in the crowd, but he wasn't as flustered as the others; it wasn't a problem for him to memorize a book.

　　There was something he wanted to discuss with Schiller, something about building a private prison, but he could see that Schiller was in a very bad mood, so Bruce hesitated and didn't follow Schiller out.

　　After a while, Evans approached him and asked Bruce, "Did you hear what the professor just said about clubs and societies? I'd love to be in charge, you know, I've been in charge of class discipline and homework for this course, but about clubs I wanted to come and ask your opinion, are you going to be part of it?"

Bruce understood what Evans meant, at Gotham University there were not only hobby clubs but also study circles, some popular courses would form their own study circles, which was the equivalent of professors giving extra tuition to students, but of course any society had to deal with funding, and many of them wanted to rope Bruce in because he was a rich man.

But Bruce hadn't been involved in any serious societies, he was not impatient with the work of those societies, just that he didn't want to be hounded for money.

But the psychology club was different and he felt he could use some extra help here, so he said to Evans, "I'll go to the professor and ask him if he can give me a position as head of the club, and as for the other clubs, I'm not really interested, you're perfectly capable of taking on the role of classroom and club director."

Bruce knew of course that Evans was the son of Falcone, but Evans' kind of family background was all too common in Gotham, there were at least half a dozen gangster's sons in this classroom alone, it was just that Evans' father was stronger.

The gang that Bruce usually hangs out with are also basically the sons and nephews of the major gang leaders in day, while Batman his alter ego, are deep enemies at night.

And the reason why Schiller is in such a bad mood starts with this morning.

Over at Marvel, Obadiah had been resuscitated, but he was still very weak, his heart was working well, but like Strange said, he was just too old, his body was functioning too poorly, and he was still in intensive care, where Stark was always with him, and that person was the only one he had left, and even Pepper couldn't interrupt their daddy-son bond.

Rhodes has left the military for the time being, he says he hasn't been out on holiday for years, so he is away from New York for a while, just before Schiller leaves, with Dr. Ethan, on a scientific research project in Antarctica.

　　Although there are still many unanswered questions about the events of Iron Man, things have calmed down for the time being.

　　And so Schiller returned to Gotham.

　　When he woke up this morning, he found that the weather in Gotham was surprisingly good. Although there was still a layer of mist, he could actually see faint sunlight spilling onto the ground, which was so rare.

　　So he planned to take advantage of such a great opportunity to use a random chat, he had been given another one after the Iron Man incident, but he had one left from the last incident, so he now had two.

But as it turned out, Gotham lived up to its reputation of being a shithole. Schiller clicked on the chat panel a little and used the random chat.

The avatar that emerged was someone with black hair and a green eyepatch.

　　Schiller shut down the system almost in a panic.

　　Green Lantern!

Yes, it was the same actor as the Deadpool again, Green Lantern!

　　Deadpool wasn't in the scene, but he was everywhere. Schiller hadn't met Deadpool yet, but he was surrounded by him.

　　"I have to ask you, have you ever seen any outlandish flying objects? I mean, just one of those flying saucers in the traditional sense ..."

　　A message soon followed from Green Lantern.

Schiller judged from the line of text that Hal the Green Lantern was probably running into a crashed alien ship right now, and it was through this incident that he had gotten his hands on the Green Lantern ring that the aliens had entrusted to him.

　　Schiller clicked on the opening image, and sure enough, Hal's powers could not be duplicated yet, as he had not yet become a Green Lantern.

　　So Schiller replied, "I vaguely remember seeing it a few times, what? You've seen a UFO? I can recommend a website full of such records, you can look through them."

　　"I've searched them all, including sites all over the world that record UFOs, but all they see are things flying in the sky."

　　"And what do you see? If the UFO won't fly in the sky, where would they fly?"

　　"Oh, it ... certainly is! Of course it used to fly in the sky, no no no ... nothing, forget it ..."

It seemed Hal had also realized that he shouldn't reveal so much information to a stranger he had just met on the forum, after all, if the opposite side found out that he had found a falling UFO, there was a good chance he would be approached by the military.

Instead, Schiller sighed, regardless of what powers the Green Lantern ring would give him, the mere fact that Green Lantern was another Deadpool was a little too much for him to handle, hopefully Green Lantern was a comic book persona and could stop being a talking head.

　　By the afternoon, Schiller was in a better mood, when Gordon came over to him and he asked Schiller, "You've seen Falcone recently?"

　　"That's right, why?"

In Gotham, dealing with the mob was not something to be ashamed of, as well as the fact that there was no way for anyone to avoid dealing with mob figures.

　　In Gotham, if you can say a word or two to the Godfather, instead, it's something to be proud of.

　　Gordon said, "Our new police commissioner seems to be one of the Godfather's men, which is nothing strange, of course, except that I wonder what he plans to do about this mess?"

"While I know that in earlier years Falcone was a radical and hawkish man, in recent years he seems to have made a shift towards conservatism, and I just wanted to come and get an early indication of which way the Gotham Police Department intends to turn."

It may sound absurd that the police commissioner is the guy of the godfather, but it couldn't be more normal in Gotham, and while Gordon is a good, righteous cop, he knows the ecology of Gotham better than anyone, so he's not going to be one of those reckless flunkies who plans to overthrow all order by himself.

　　On the contrary, he wanted to find a unique way out of the complex game, so he had to deal with all the forces.

"I became the Godfather's tutor, responsible for teaching his son, and you're right, in recent years the Godfather has become more and more conservative, probably because he's getting older."

　　"I don't think you have to worry about him resorting to some drastic measures, on the contrary, in a sense he might help you to combat the pricks."

　　Sitting down, Schiller poured Gordon a cup of coffee as well and said, "The last time I went to his house, a few of their family heads were meeting and I heard that the eastern docks have been unsettled lately ..."

　　Gordon sighed and said, "I only just found out that the Edward family, who had been holding the five docks in the east, had had an internal change of heart, Edward Jr. had killed his father and had fallen out with his uncle."

　　"You know how important those docks are, 60% of Gotham's smuggled goods come up from there."

　　"I've heard that the Edwards are old enough to be the original family born and bred in Gotham, much older even than Falcone."

　　"That's hard for me to say, I just finished dealing with a firefight there yesterday and the new chief has been invited by Edward Jr. I came to inquire of you today to find out if Falcone is going to intervene in the matter or not, and if he is, will he side with Edward Jr?"

"If it's true that Edward Jr. has taken over the Edward family ..." Gordon said with a sigh, "he's a complete madman and won't be able to sanction as many dangerous goods as Edward Sr. did, and Gotham will be in chaos again. "

　　"Is there ever a day when Gotham isn't in this shit, don't worry about it, it's out of the hands of the police right now, big deal, you guys make two more trips to the cleaners."

　　"As for the Godfather ...," said Schiller, shaking his head, "all I can say is that Falcone is more of a friend and ally to you now than an enemy."

　　"He doesn't want Gotham to be in chaos any more than you guys do."
