Chapter 113: Let’s Have Dinner
"I talked with my mum about it and figured I might as well finish the final year since I’m only a few months away from graduation. Besides, I already made enough money to last me for a while."
Miss Harold smiled happily. That was a very smart way to look at things. It was the exact same thing that most of the superhumans in the school were doing. They planned to only finish compulsory education to get a good foundation, after which they would ignore college and simply join a guild. The principal gave Jason another respectful smile before her face finally eased into a more serious look. This time she spoke with some hardness behind her voice.
"I’m glad you decided to complete your education, and you should never doubt that I will always root for you in the future. But I would also like to point out that things will be very different now that you are a superhuman. This school is not solely for educating superhumans, so there has been a lot of discussion between the staff and parents about the safety of regular humans who are at a significant disadvantage physically. I promised the parents that they didn’t have to worry about anything since every superhuman understands their limits and signed a binding contract when entering the school to ensure they didn’t step out of bounds.
"As someone who awakened rather late in life, we’ve never had to deal with your ’unique’ situation before, but I want to believe we won’t have any issues even with the suddenness of the situation. Are you willing to sign the contract that the other superhuman students signed? It basically states that you will face dire consequences if you consciously cause harm to any student with your abilities. Nothing too serious."
Jason hummed. That was something new to him. Jason never really paid attention to what was happening in the superhuman world, so he didn’t think it would be this complicated just to go to school. But he understood. He could cause a lot of damage to the students here without even trying, so they needed a way to make sure he was kept in line.
Jason didn’t intend to hurt anyone anyway, so signing a contract was fine. There was nothing a regular human could do to cause him any harm.
"I’ll sign it. Can we do it right now or should I come back some other time?"
Jason spoke up, and Miss Harold smiled thankfully before reaching into her drawer and producing the contract. Jason leaned back and began to read through the document as she watched him. Jason wasn’t a lawyer, but the contract was really just a single piece of paper that had a few paragraphs written down. It basically stated that the superhumans signing it promises not to cause any conscious destruction to the school property or personnel or they will be faced with ’sufficient’ punishment as directed by the law.
It was simple enough that even a middle schooler would be able to understand everything there. And besides, Jason trusted Miss Harold enough not to lead him astray. Jason signed the document, and Miss Harold thanked him before she stood and walked around the table, bending over to give Jason another tight hug.
