I revived the Demonic Sect in North America

Chapter 8 Lightspeed Runner #21

The second option is to inform Karen herself or the police department.

But this is also not a good option.

If the information is revealed directly, not to mention whether normal people would believe a prophecy from the future, even if they did, it would attract unnecessary attention and investigation.

If he reports the incident anonymously, firstly, Li Ang will be unable to explain the source of the information, and secondly, even if the police successfully handle the crisis and arrest the two drug dealers, it will not benefit Li Ang at all.

This is equivalent to wasting an intelligence opportunity provided by the system.

So, Li Ang was left with only one last choice.

He wanted to personally orchestrate a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario and stop the crisis on his own.

He had to save Karen's life!

He wanted the rewards from the treasure chest too!

Once the decision was made, Li Ang had no more doubts.

……

At 7:20 a.m., Li Ang jumped off the bus at Kingsbridge Road and stood on the street in the River Valley community.

River Valley is a middle-class community in the Bronx.

The community has a permanent population of about 30,000.

Whites make up 60% of the population, Hispanics 20%, and Blacks and Asians each 10%.

Unlike the rat-nest-like South Bronx neighborhood where Li Ang lived.

The streets of the River Valley community are lined with detached mansions, Tudor-style estates, upscale cooperative apartments, and Victorian townhouses.

Just a short walk away you'll see all sorts of small cafes and family-run delicatessens.

Li Ang walked along Fieldston Road for five minutes, and a rather large campus complex came into view.

This is the River Valley High School he is currently attending.

The school's buildings are in the Gothic Revival style, constructed in the early 20th century, with the main building made of red brick and limestone.

The school motto is engraved above the school gate: The Light of Science and Humanities.

Below the school motto is the year the school was founded: 1917.

This school is a product of New York City’s education choice policy.

Although located in the River Valley community, the school recruits outstanding students from across the Bronx through a lottery and academic selection process.

Therefore, it is more diverse in terms of racial and economic composition than community high schools that are simply divided by school district.

Students' average SAT scores consistently rank among the top in Bronx public high schools.

White students make up about 30% of the student body, and Asian students, who are most interested in academic subjects, also make up about 30% of the student body. The remainder are African American and Latino.

It was thanks to this policy that Li Ang, a stinky rat from the sewers of the South District, had the opportunity to accidentally enter the Tianjia community and attend school in the River Valley community, thanks to his excellent academic performance.

As we approached the school gate, an elderly security guard with a white beard stood there, smiling and nodding at every student who passed by.

This scene made Li Ang feel relaxed.

Li Ang remembers attending a community school in the South District before transferring to River Valley High School.

It was more like a juvenile detention center than a school.

The entire school consists of only one gray brick building with security bars on the windows.

Every day at the school gate, two burly black men with metal detectors would stand and check each student's bag as if facing a formidable enemy.

This isn't just a formality; you can actually find several Glocks every month.

It can only be said that Americans are still far ahead in education; they are truly too free and too advanced.

Li Ang walked into the main building of River Valley High School, where the noise was still there.

The air was filled with the smells of coffee, paper, and floor wax.

The morning announcement came over the loudspeaker:

"Congratulations to our school's Science Olympiad team for qualifying for the interstate competition..."

"A college application essay writing workshop was held at the library today..."

"The River Valley High School Knights football team will be playing Fordham Prep next Friday at home, and they need student volunteers to help with the reception..."

The corridor walls are covered with displays of various artworks, science exhibition posters, and recruitment notices for various clubs:

IT club, debate team, Model United Nations, environmental club...

At the end of the corridor, there is a row of huge glass display cases showcasing honors.

Besides the academic trophies, the most eye-catching items in the display case are the gleaming rugby championship trophy and the faded photos of rugby stars.

American football is the national sport of the United States.

It is no longer a sport in the minds of Americans.

Rather, it is a religion, an identity, and a collective belief.

It is the spiritual totem of the American people.

The Super Bowl, the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL), holds a status in the United States comparable to Independence Day and Christmas.

The Super Bowl broadcast is like Dongda University's Spring Festival Gala.

For many children from ordinary families, playing rugby well is the best way to get into college, change their destiny, and achieve upward social mobility.

This is the American Dream, deeply rooted in the hearts of the American people.

Even on campus, rugby players are always the most eye-catching.

The most important positions on the team—quarterback, running back, and linebacker—are highly regarded in school.

Even if your grades are just average, you'll still have admirers. People will make way for you whether you're going to the restroom or getting food in the cafeteria.

Moreover, joining the school's rugby team grants you priority in choosing a spouse.

No matter the dance or party, she was always the center of attention.

Which boy could resist such temptation?

Li Ang, of course, couldn't either.

Before transferring schools, he was the starting quarterback for the South District junior high school team, known for his amazing speed and tactical understanding.

He was known as "Light Speed ​​Runner 21".

But starting in high school, his teammates began to use Kowloon Power to boost his muscles, causing them to grow rapidly.

Li Ang's physical development lagged behind, making him unable to withstand the impact intensity of high school level rugby matches.

This is a common problem among Asian rugby players.

Li Ang hesitated about whether to follow the coach's instructions and start using technology, but was firmly stopped by Fiona, who was a doctor.

As a result, Li Ang was gradually marginalized in the school team.

The River Valley High School's football team is called the Knights.

The Cavaliers are the pride of River Valley High School and an emotional bond connecting this academically oriented school with the surrounding community.

The team has produced several NFL professional players in its history, the most recent being an offensive linebacker drafted by the Seahawks in 2009.

Despite fluctuations in performance in recent years, they have always maintained competitiveness.

He is a regular in the Public School Football League (PSAL) AA division of New York City.

Walking through the corridor, Li Ang opened his locker.

Like most schools in the United States, River Valley High School uses a flexible class scheduling system.

Students have to change classrooms and see different teachers every class.

The advantage of implementing a flexible class scheduling system is somewhat similar to elective courses in universities, making it easier to divert students.

More intelligent students can leverage their strengths to skip grades and take college preparatory courses, also known as AP courses, or honors courses that are slightly less difficult than AP courses.

Students who are less academically gifted can only attend regular classes.

Li Ang is currently a high school sophomore, and his grades have always been excellent.

A typical high school sophomore can only take a maximum of two AP courses.

Li Ang was specially recommended by his teacher and took three elective courses.

His schedule includes three AP courses: English Literature, Calculus, and Chemistry, as well as several other regular courses such as Spanish.

The classrooms for these courses are spread out and span multiple floors.

The locker allows him to avoid carrying a full set of books and stationery all day, reducing his load and preventing him from being late.

Another function of the lockers is to leave messages and deliver gifts.

Some popular student lockers are often filled with love letters from budding romances and thoughtful surprise gifts.

For example, used lace panties.

Li Ang opened his locker door.

Besides a bunch of textbooks, there was also a Polaroid photo of Fiona holding Leon in her arms and laughing heartily.

Just then, Li Ang suddenly heard a loud voice behind him:

"Hey! Look who's here! Number 21, the speed runner from South District Junior High!"
