my stealth fighter

Chapter 420
Just like Aurora is a famous figure in Red Leaf Academy, Layla is equal to her cousin no matter where she is. When she first entered junior high school and had not yet awakened her abilities, she studied in a famous European girls' school, which is also the same school. The man of the hour.

It's just that the way Leo became a man of the hour was not like her cousin's combination of talent and beauty. The reason why she became famous in that school was because of her own fists. Overlord.

This school is also a private school, sponsored by chaebols, and the top chaebols are often keen on public welfare, so every year a group of poor children from the third world are admitted to school, one is to promote their ideology, and the other is to hope After learning advanced culture, these children return to serve the motherland.

This kind of investment is actually quite cost-effective. For example, recruiting a group of students from a small, impoverished and war-torn African country opened the eyes of these students. After the concept returns to China, it will immediately stand out among the people of the country, and it will not make the people of the country wary like foreigners. It will easily succeed in business and politics. Will control the country's economic lifeline and even political power, but how can they forget to give back to their alma mater when they are grateful?And the chaebols behind the alma mater can take the opportunity to enter the country to get a share.

The school that Leila is in is like this. Its mission is to cultivate future political and business elites, or to cultivate the wives of future political and business elites. After all, the power of pillow wind is also super powerful.

Every new school year, a cohort of timid Third World students enrolls, receiving years of free education at no cost to themselves.

These third-world students are not selected randomly, whoever wants to come can come, but carefully selected by the school's admissions committee, who will evaluate the candidates' psychology and intelligence-excellent intelligence is a must, recruit one It is not good for the school to approve students with mediocre qualifications or even dullness; the psychological evaluation is more complicated, and one of the basic principles is that the candidate students must be dissatisfied with the status quo of their own country and have a strong belief in changing the country.

Of course, the rules and regulations implicit in these admissions will never be announced to the public, and they will not even be put on paper in the form of words. Those who are selected are of course grateful to God, but those who are not selected still do not understand why they were not selected. Probably not good enough.

Louisa, who was not called Louisa at the time, her father of five wives, when she was born and learned that it was a daughter, didn't even look at her, just pointed to the thatch on the roof and gave her It was named "thatch".

Body like duckweed, life like weeds.

If there is no accident—"accident" means that if she died before she was a few years old, and she was wrapped in grass and thrown to the wild dogs, then when she was eleven or twelve years old, she would be sold to other people in the village. A man from his family becomes his wife, and in exchange for four cows as a bride price... It should be like this in a normal script.

Her life is very bitter, which ordinary people in the civilized world can't even imagine. Compared with her, another South Asian girl named Rafi who is thousands of miles away and does not know each other has a much happier life. .

However, other surprises happened.

Everyday wars swept through the village, one warlord fought another warlord, and corpses were strewn all over the place. A boy aged seven or eight was arrested and exiled. Her father and brothers were also taken away in the same way. Never coming back, she was separated from her mother and flown into neighboring countries with the influx of refugees.

There are international charitable organizations stationed in neighboring countries, who resettle refugee camps for the influx of refugees, and send the refugees back when the political situation in the neighboring countries stabilizes one day.

The refugee camp is overcrowded, with new refugees joining every day, and there are faces everywhere with dull expressions like ashes.

Luisa, who was eleven or twelve years old at the time, was mixed in the refugee camp like this. She was taciturn and never took the initiative to speak unless someone asked her. Three meals a day lined up to get food and clean water, and then stuffed them into her mouth on the spot Eat it, and stuff it down your throat if you can't eat it, because once you get it back to the humble residence, those older women will snatch the food from her, and she has nothing to do when she is alone.

Fortunately, men and women live separately in the refugee camp, at least she will not be bullied by men.

At that time, she couldn't even talk about having any plans for the future. She just wanted to fill her stomach and live every day.

The living conditions in the refugee camps are not particularly good. After all, there are too many people, the houses are crowded, and the sanitation conditions are worrying. Infectious diseases such as cholera take away the lives of several refugees from time to time, and she is really like a tenacious weed. All the same, tortured but never completely destroyed.

About a few months later, the fate of her life ushered in a turning point.

That day, a group of strangers entered the refugee camp, mainly of Caucasian race, they looked very decent and elegant, and the charity organization respected them, and according to their requirements, all the children of the right age in the refugee camp were picked out and concentrated. In the square, Luisa was among them.

These children are mainly girls. After all, many boys of the same age have been arrested and used as cannon fodder.

The charity organization announced to these children through a translator that the guests were the admissions directors of several famous middle schools. They came to select suitable children to receive free education in Europe. Have you signed up voluntarily?

Most of these children don't know where Europe is, or even that the world is round. Before they came to the refugee camp, they had never left the village within ten kilometers. Now that they are told what Europe they are going to, they will inevitably feel Terrified, especially those children who fled to refugee camps with their parents, choose between Europe and their parents, of course they will choose to stay with their parents.

"I...I volunteer."

A thin voice sounded from among the children, and at the same time a thin arm was raised.

It was Louisa.

The members of the charity organization and the person in charge of admissions were very surprised because Louisa actually spoke English. Although the pronunciation was extremely irregular and it took a lot of effort to understand, it was indeed English.

A middle-aged woman in the admissions officer beckoned her to leave the line and come to the front.

Luisa stumbled her way out of the line.

The middle-aged woman squatted in front of her, looked at her carefully, and found that she had an obvious difference from most other refugees, that is, her eyes were not like a pool of stagnant water, but still retained their agility.

"Do you speak English?" The middle-aged woman asked kindly.

Louisa nodded, "A little bit."

"Who did you learn from?"

She shook her head, "Nobody."

"Then you are..."

She pointed to the members of the charity organization, "When distributing food, listen to what they say."

Apart from the weird pronunciation, her English is not grammatical at all. It is almost a blunt combination of different words, but at least she can understand what she means.

Middle-aged women were even more surprised, "You learned it just by listening to them?"

Luisa nodded and repeated, "A little bit."

The middle-aged woman seemed to have gotten a piece of rough jade, with an even more pleasant smile on her face.

"What's your name?"

"Thatch."

When distributing three meals a day, other refugees really just received the food mechanically, and the young Luisa listened carefully to the conversations of the members of the charity organization. She must not understand, but many times the charity organization wants to When asking refugees to do something, I will tell them through the translator, such as stand in line, don’t jump in line, one person, don’t get too much, don’t make noise, keep order, etc. These phrases are concise and clear, as long as the translator speaks the native language Just connect it with the English spoken by charitable organizations, and then memorize it by rote—it’s easy to say, but how many people have the heart when they are in that kind of environment?
When queuing up to receive meals, the members of the charity organization responsible for distributing the meals will also talk to each other, such as the bread is gone, I will bring another truck, the mineral water is finished, I will get a few more boxes, the beef is finished, today's stew It's chicken, etc., and it's all about being careful, but few people pay as much attention as Louisa, taking every opportunity to learn.

In Luisa's heart, these charity organization members are like gods, they bring them free food and drink, and they will not beat them or force them to work as cows and horses. She instinctively had longing, even if she could get closer to them , so she paid attention to learning their language, and she ate it on the spot after receiving food and drink. When she returned to her residence, she had nothing to do, so she replayed the English learned today in her mind.

In addition to Luisa, some other children took the initiative to stand up, but none of them could have a simple conversation in English like Luisa, at most two or three words would be good.

These children are divided into male and female groups, and they are tested by the admissions officer, including IQ tests and psychological tests.

In fact, when Luisa took the initiative to stand up and speak in English, she had already passed by default, and the subsequent tests were just a formality, and she did very well in the test, almost perfectly meeting the selection criteria for students.

Together with other selected children, she was taken out of the refugee camp, put on a truck and taken to the capital of a neighboring country, where she stayed in a hotel for the first time. Although the conditions of the hotel were not high-end in other countries, but It was nothing less than heaven to her.

They were joined by children from other camps.

Luisa enjoyed many "firsts" in the hotel, the first shower, the first soak in the bathtub, the first time to know that good-smelling shampoo is for washing hair and not To drink, to sleep in a soft bed for the first time, to put on clothes for the first time—unless you call clothes the rags she used to wear around her waist and over her shoulders.

She knew that if the children who stayed in the refugee camp saw this scene, they would definitely cry with envy, but why didn't the charity organization make it clear in advance?If the treatment enjoyed by the selected children is shown in advance, more children will definitely abandon their parents and sign up.

This is of course because the person in charge of admissions did it intentionally. When faced with an unknown fate, he actively embraced his fate and was passively chosen by fate under the temptation of material conditions. These are two completely different life attitudes, and the admissions organization does not need the latter. Because the latter has no ideals, but just worships money.

In the hotel, apart from receiving basic etiquette training, she and the other children focused on learning English suddenly. Luisa, who already had the foundation and was willing to work hard, was far ahead of the other children.Not only that, she is still taking every opportunity to observe this strange world, eagerly absorbing new knowledge like a sponge absorbing water.

What she didn't know was that the admissions directors at several schools were secretly watching her and the other kids, and that she was doing so well that everyone was watching, and they were secretly fighting to get her.

These admissions officers have been recruiting for so many years, and they can tell at a glance which child has great potential. The middle-aged woman who talked to her in the refugee camp even said that she believes that this child can change the world in the future. , comparing Louisa with those famous leaders among the blacks.

Putting aside whether the world will change in the future, at least Luisa's fate has changed, completely changed.

After a back-and-forth fight and deal, the school represented by the middle-aged woman won. On the day the English training ended, she walked up to Luisa, squatted down, and smiled happily when she saw her: "Son, wait a minute!" You come with me. By the way, you don't need to be called thatch anymore. You deserve a new and better name. Let me think... How about the name Luisa? There is an African woman with this name who was once selected as the world's most beautiful One hundred women of power, I believe you will do better in the future."

Luisa didn't ask any more questions, nor did she raise any objections or questions about the new name. She nodded and accepted the new name easily, and left the hotel behind the middle-aged woman, while the other children also left with the other admissions officers. Going to different destinies, there is no nostalgia for each other.

Luisa was taken to the airport, where she experienced many firsts. She saw a huge steel bird flying into the sky, with a passport and a ticket stuffed in her hand, and followed a middle-aged woman to Cairo by plane, where After a short break, a few refugee girls joined. They came from refugee camps in other countries and were told that they would become classmates and study in a school.

They took a bigger and more beautiful plane all the way north, crossed the sapphire-like Mediterranean Sea, and continued north.

At the time, Louisa didn't know that in the school she was about to attend, there was a bully named Leila, and their lives would have a wonderful intersection.
