New Gods of North America.

Chapter 284 Arrangement
After listening to the American History course with great interest, Wayne took his things and planned to go back to the dormitory to put them away.
Then go to the restaurant to eat.

As soon as he walked outside the dormitory, Wayne saw a carriage parked on the lawn beside the road.
Doug was standing beside the carriage with his hands clasped in front of him, waiting respectfully.

"Doug, why are you here?"

Wayne greeted Doug and a coachman who looked unfamiliar, and motioned for Doug to follow him upstairs.

"Miss Lina asked Parker to make a lot of Kankes scones that you, Mr. Wayne, had instructed us to deliver to the academy to distribute to her friends. This one is specially sent to you, Mr. Wayne. Willy has already gone there, so I will stay here and wait for you."

Doug did not join the team directly, but signaled the coachman to open the carriage door first, and took out two large trays from inside.

One of the trays contained some knives, forks and plates, and the other had a metal cover with a handle, and then the two men followed.

Kankers scones…?
Wayne opened the metal cover and took a peek inside. He saw a large American pizza that was at least 14 inches in size. It was filled with a sufficient amount of cheese, bacon, ham, and diced beef, which was considered luxurious compared to the configuration of the cheap restaurant in the college.

Even this kind of "stringy cheese" cannot be found in various stores in America these days. It was all Wayne's instructions based on his memory, and Chef Parker figured it out on his own.

Of course it's delicious.

But a 14-inch pizza... in this age without refrigerators and microwaves, no one could finish it.

Wayne asked Doug to carry the things to the public lounge area on the first floor of the dormitory.
Several seniors or classmates who were considered “roommates” saw it and came over to ask curiously, “What is this?”

"Free pizza! It's a specialty of Kankers, everyone can try it."

Wayne responded to them.

At the same time, he grabbed the "building manager" Macon Reeve, who happened to be passing by and seemed to be trying to avoid Wayne, and said, "The quantity is limited. Everyone can take one. Macon, please help to watch it."

Then Wayne asked Doug and his companions if they had eaten dinner. The three of them followed suit and put a piece of food on their plates and walked towards the dormitory.

As for the knife and fork...

The pizza has been cut by Chef Parker with a knife, so why bother using a knife and fork? Just use your hands.

Everyone was curious about this baked pie with cheese that could even be drawn into strings, and they quickly gathered around.
One of the guys who was quicker had already picked up a piece by pulling it with his hands, imitating Wayne. He didn't even use a plate and took a bite directly from the top of the pizza:
"Wow, this is awesome. Wayne, you are the boss of our dorm today."

Such an outgoing personality is relatively rare in the college. Most of the students are actually more or less "serious" and "dignified" in the college, regardless of whether they are rich or poor.
Wayne felt that this guy was more in line with his stereotype of an "American student".

So Wayne didn't hesitate to turn around and tease him on the stairs, "Call me 'Daddy'."

"Vaccinium oil."

The guy raised his middle finger to Wayne, and before Doug, whose face changed slightly, could react, the guy finished chewing the pizza in his mouth and added, "But I love you too, Daddy Wayne."

After saying that, he immediately took a big bite of the sagging pizza slice.

So amid the mocking laughter of the crowd over there, Wayne signaled Doug not to pay any attention and continue going upstairs.

...The three of them were eating pizza in the dormitory, and Wayne even sprinkled holy water on it.

It wasn't surprising that Doug was respectful to him, but the burly coachman was also respectful to the point of being stiff, which made Wayne feel a little curious:
"What should I call this gentleman?"

"Just call me Sanders, Mr. Wayne."

Upon hearing this, the coachman almost put down the pizza in his hand and stood up to answer, but Wayne waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.

"Sanders is one of the companions I recruited on the way back. He's an excellent hunter who is good at close combat and can even fight black bears." Doug added.

A powerful Beyonder?
After this period of "experience growth" and personal experience, Wayne discovered that although the physical fitness of extraordinary people in this world is usually better than that of ordinary people, it is actually not much better than that of ordinary people.

The Hunter Association regards "significant enhancement" of the physical body as a category of extraordinary ability, and can also be divided into different sub-items such as "strength", "speed" and "recovery", with different enhancement focuses.

Those who excel in a single item, such as the "King Kong with sulfuric acid" or "Wendigo" that Wayne has seen, either demolish houses on the ground or are so fast that they are almost impossible to aim at.
The average values are said to be relatively high, but Inissa and Lina think they are "werewolf" or something like that.

That's like Freddy the "Grey Wolf" who's worth $250.

Wayne was a little curious, "Sanders, how much is your fighting power in US dollars... No, Sanders, have you ever participated in the 'Arena' in the detective agency? How was your record?"

Doug smiled slightly beside him:

"If he didn't use weapons, Sanders' previous record in indiscriminate combat with agents was 'undefeated'. Even 'vines' could only fight him in a stalemate in the bushes. But in the battles with partners, Sanders currently has 0 wins and 4 losses. His best record is to last 120 seconds without falling."

Sanders also looked like an honest man. Upon hearing this, he defended himself in a serious manner, "Mr. Peter is indeed very strong. I am no match for him. And Miss Lina also said that she is the weakest partner in the detective agency. This really makes me realize the strength of the detective agency."

Mr. Peter?
Wayne thought about it for a while and roughly figured out what was going on.

Inissa is not suitable for fighting without weapons at all now. Lina must have released the big spider to bite people again, and then said "If you want to deal with other partners, you have to get past me first" or something like that.

It is not difficult to understand Sanders' respect for himself. It seems that he has imagined his own fighting power.

Not to mention that Lina seems to be able to call the "wise sage" for help, just Peter and her "steel wool", Wayne himself doesn't dare to fight her in close combat without a gun...

After finishing the meal, Sanders helped collect the plates for several people and then left the dormitory.
Doug then began to report to Wayne on his work during this period and the members he had recruited so far.

It seems that Doug really wants to be the head of the office.

This means that even if the steam train company's security commission has not come in yet, he can take a few agents and a bunch of peripheral members to "sweep" along the steam train line. As for the bounty earned from the suspects, it will be divided according to the rules of the detective agency.

Wayne didn't object to his idea.
Anyway, I have to stay in the academy for the time being, so it's always a good thing if the members of the detective agency are motivated to take on work on their own.

So Wayne told Doug about the current situation. The members of the detective agency who were previously "at home" were assigned to Seth Grayson to conduct "special investigation commissions".
As for the other members and the peripheral members recruited by Doug, Doug can take them to various places to fight in the wild.

Doug was visibly shocked:
"Mr. Wayne, you mean that the partners have assigned the daily command and mobilization of detective agents to a new guy?!"
