Next, Gwen and Brucey bid farewell to kindergarten, looking forward to new school life (only Brucey), and welcomed the first day of elementary school.
From a young age, Gwen taught Brucey that if she ever felt uncomfortable about anything, she should tell her directly.
No one likes to actively guess what others are thinking; if you want to express something, you should say it.
So, although Brucey felt a bit sorry for her sister, she still initiative said what was on her mind: she felt her sister's strong aura made it difficult for her to make friends.
After hearing this, Gwen felt her sister had a point.
After some discussion, the sisters decided to separate and go to different classes to create opportunities for Brucey to make new friends.
After the Wayne Couple drove away, Gwen and Brucey were about to enter the school when a cheerful female voice came from behind them: "Gwen! Brucey!"
The two turned at the sound and saw a girl with long, straight black hair walking quickly towards them.
Brucey's eyes lit up, and she excitedly called out, "Zatanna!"
That's right, the person who came was Zatanna.
Previously, she had been traveling with her magician father for performances, having left Gotham for a long time. Now, seeing her again, Zatanna wasn't wearing a fancy performance outfit; she was in a simple dress, paired with a sweet smile, looking like a quiet, well-behaved girl next door.
Brucey suddenly turned her head and saw Zatanna running towards them with a beaming smile, her eyes instantly lighting up, her face full of surprise: "Zatanna! Is it really you? I never expected us to be at the same elementary school!"
She hopped excitedly, going forward to take Zatanna's hand. Although they hadn't seen each other for a few years, their relationship was still very good.
Zatanna had been moving around a lot in recent years, constantly transferring kindergartens, and hadn't made many good friends.
As for Brucey's situation with making friends... it has already been mentioned, so there's no need to elaborate further here.
For both of them, the other was one of their few good friends.
In stark contrast to their excitement, Gwen remained calm, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Not only did she know Zatanna would return to Gotham for elementary school, but she had actively encouraged it.
Before her kindergarten life was about to end, Gwen proactively called Giovanni.
The moment the call connected, Giovanni's voice held a hint of confusion: "Hello? Gwen?"
"Teacher Giovanni, it's me." Giovanni paused slightly upon hearing Gwen's voice. Before he could speak, Gwen went straight to the point, "Uncle, I want to talk to you about Zatanna's elementary school."
On the other end of the phone, Giovanni was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.
He had actually been worrying about this recently.
As a famous magician, Giovanni performed all year round, which led to Zatanna's kindergarten life being extremely unstable, always requiring transfers.
Although Zatanna never complained, Giovanni knew it wasn't good for his child.
After hearing this, Gwen seriously suggested that Zatanna could return to Gotham for elementary school.
On one hand, Brucey and she got along well with Zatanna and could look out for each other.
On the other hand, with the Wayne Family as a strong backing, Giovanni could take a good rest for a few years.
Giovanni hesitated for a moment after hearing Gwen's suggestion.
Meanwhile, Gwen added, "Also, Teacher, I want to learn a specific type of magic, but the magic books you gave me don't describe it. I hope you can come back to Gotham to help me."
Giovanni pondered for a long time, weighing the pros and cons, and finally nodded in agreement: "Alright, Gwen, we'll do as you say."
Time returned to the present.
Giovanni rushed and hurried, finally bringing Zatanna back to Gotham City just before elementary school started.
With the Wayne Family as a solid backing, Zatanna could naturally attend any school she wished.
During class assignments at the beginning of the school year, the three girls were divided into two classes.
Gwen and Zatanna went to Class A, while Brucey went to Class B alone.
Initially, Zatanna was very curious. The two sisters of the Wayne Family clearly hadn't had any conflict, and she couldn't understand why they had to be in two different classes.
However, not long after starting school, Zatanna understood.
In class, when she was concentrating on listening, Gwen was reading an extracurricular book.
During breaks, she was busy finishing homework, while Gwen was reading an extracurricular book.
No matter the circumstances, Gwen was never studying the main subjects.
She just felt that even though Gwen was slacking off, she couldn't keep up with Gwen's progress no matter how hard she tried.
But in comparison, the subject teachers found it even harder to tolerate.
Finally, during a math class, the math teacher could no longer hold back.
Seeing Gwen reading an extracurricular book again, the teacher, though mindful of Gwen's status as the eldest Miss Wayne, couldn't help but speak: "Since Miss Wayne is reading an extracurricular book, I presume you've mastered everything I've taught, right? Why don't you come up to the front and explain it?"
Gwen, suddenly called upon, paused slightly, then nodded. She gently closed the extracurricular book in her hand and, under the teacher's astonished gaze, calmly took her textbook and walked to the podium.
Once she stood still, Gwen's gaze swept across the notes on the blackboard, confirmed the teaching progress, and then, picking up from where the teacher left off, began to explain in an orderly manner.
As Gwen articulated with clear logic, the murmurs in the classroom, which had initially been about the spectacle, gradually quieted down, replaced by the rustling sounds of students diligently taking notes.
The math teacher stood to the side, his face alternating between pale and red, feeling incredibly awkward.
If he went up to stop Gwen, there was nothing wrong with what she was saying.
If he forcibly interrupted, after all, he was the one who asked her to speak at the front. If he stopped Gwen, whether she stopped or not, he would still be quite embarrassed.
After much deliberation, the teacher could only grit his teeth and stand in place, listening to Gwen teach for the entire class.
After class, the math teacher, in the teachers' office, exaggeratedly recounted the scene from the classroom.
Soon, this news spread to the other subject teachers.
From then on, the teachers reached a tacit understanding and no longer interfered with Gwen's behavior in class.
After all, everyone could see that Miss Wayne's level of learning already far surpassed ordinary people, and coupled with her identity... it was better not to take their role as teachers too seriously.
And as expected, Gwen's grades did not disappoint the teachers.
After all, a person who dares to read extracurricular books in class is either unafraid of scoring zero, or overflowing with confidence about scoring full marks.
And Gwen, without a doubt, was the latter.
In her studies, Zatanna always considered herself to have an exceptional memory, but during exams, there would inevitably be some errors, preventing her from always getting full marks.
But Gwen was different; except for subjective questions like essays, she almost always achieved full marks in other subjects.
Initially, Zatanna comforted herself: "I also have to practice Backwards Magic, so my energy is inevitably divided..."
But as soon as she said this, she immediately remembered that Gwen was also practicing Backwards Magic, and the magic's effect was even better than hers.
Thinking of this, Zatanna felt a wave of disappointment.
When Brucey learned of Zatanna's worries, she just smiled and gently patted her shoulder, comforting her not to take it too much to heart, saying that her sister was just like that.
If you can't compare, then you can't compare; don't feel pressured.
And this became the main theme for the first half of their elementary school years.
