Bruce still thought everything was too simple.
I thought the two students who were best at psychoanalysis chose to compromise and stop causing trouble in class. The classroom atmosphere would become quiet and he would be able to take control of the initiative again.
But in fact, collective conflicts are not so easy to resolve, especially when conflicts have already arisen and have deteriorated to the point where personal attacks appear. We only now think of solving the root problem, but the subsequent problems have become new root problems and cannot be easily resolved.
Controlling emotions is a very advanced skill that not everyone has, and it is even rarer among young people. This world ultimately comes down to pride and prejudice.
Some people were just disgusted by what Jenna said. They were advocates of behavioral analysis and were quite talented in this area. They could easily see that Jenna was talking nonsense.
But later, the aversion to the theory escalated into aversion to individuals.
When he was in class the next day, Bruce felt that the atmosphere in the classroom was a little strange. Before the class started, some people were whispering in the class. After the class started, Bruce found that no one was sitting next to Jenna.
This group of top students were all vying to sit in the front row. Jenna's seat was in the second row. Logically, the seat should be full, and it has been like this for the past few days. However, today Jenna sat on the left side of the second row, and there was no other person on the left side of the entire second row.
Bruce frowned deeply, and at this moment he realized that he had been thinking too simply, and the situation had gotten worse than he had imagined.
Fortunately, he followed Batman's habit and installed a bug between the seats. The bug had a recording function. Bruce heard what they were talking about a few seconds before the class officially started.
Some people are questioning whether Jenner cheated.
What's more terrifying is that Bruce really has to take a big responsibility for this.
Before, Bruce was optimistic about Jenna's talent, so he called her to his office, and later called her twice.
If it was just this one thing, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the key point is that Bruce had done another thing before, which was to only give homework to two classes and ignore the remaining two classes.
Putting these two things together, isn't this Bruce giving Jenna special treatment?
They have such a close relationship, so maybe Jenna went into Bruce's office and saw Bruce's lesson plan, and thus knew the answer in advance. Out of vanity, she used the answer to reverse the process in class to show how good she is.
To be honest, this inference makes sense. There are always many such people in this world. In addition, what Bruce did was indeed wrong. The students already had some opinions about him. Combined with Jenna's bizarre behavior, it is hard not to think in this direction.
Essentially, it is because some people really cannot imagine how miraculous psychoanalysis can be. Bruce cannot blame them because he was like that in the past and he just refused to believe it no matter how much he suffered.
Now, if Bruce announces now that he wants Jenna to be his assistant, it will undoubtedly further intensify the conflict.
He fully believed that if these teenagers dared to confront him in class and demand the truth from him, things would become even more difficult.
Because he really couldn't explain why he wanted Jenna to be his assistant, because it was actually a deal, in order to prevent Jenna from brainwashing others with her erroneous reverse reasoning theory.
So why couldn't Bruce crack this theory?
Because Jenner is really talented and her results are always right, her statements are particularly convincing.
Then why are her results always right?
At this point, Bruce was speechless, because Jenna was gifted in psychoanalysis, a skill she was born with, and worth many years of hard study for countless people.
Bruce thought that he could put an end to the problem by dealing with Jenna, but in fact, he had missed the only time to solve the problem.
Bruce knew that there must be a reason why Schiller targeted him as soon as he reported for duty, but he didn't expect that this critical time point was really the only time point, and he would miss it if he missed it.
Once this point in time is missed, everything will slide into the inevitable abyss.
Bruce should have attracted all of Jenna's attention to himself when he met her for the first time. This way, he could have established emotional control and separated their relationship from a simple teacher-student relationship, so that the sharp blade of behavioral analysis in Bruce's hand would not cause harm to those ordinary students.
Bruce now understands that Schiller did that not only for him, but also for other students of Gotham University. Otherwise, things would have turned into the situation they are today sooner or later.
Because his talent in behavioral analysis is far greater than Jenna's talent in psychoanalysis, and his reputation is even greater than that of this little girl, and he can cause greater waves. If Schiller cannot find a way to control him, the situation in Gotham University's classroom will probably be worse than it is today.
However, this moment in time is so fleeting and too hard to grasp, like a wave that disappears in a moment or a flash of light that passes by in an instant.
Bruce still doesn't know how Schiller was able to grab the butterfly that was about to fly within a few seconds of meeting him for the first time.
This is also his most profound understanding of the power of psychoanalysis.
But once missed, it's missed. Batman is not the kind of person who would dwell on the past. He now needs to find a way to solve the difficult problem before him.
But when things have developed to this point, explanations are basically useless. People's inner prejudices are like a mountain, and even Batman's steel body will be crushed by it.
Precisely because Bruce is smart enough, he knows that he has no right to ask this group of students to remain as objective and calm as gods. This is inhumane and impossible to do.
So, if you want to move this mountain, you can't do it by force. Authority is not a fist, but a nuclear weapon. Once it is thrown out, the deterrent effect will be greatly reduced. If you throw it away randomly without convincing evidence, not only will you not be able to save Jenna, you may also end up turning yourself into a clown.
There must be solid evidence and solid reasoning.
At this time, Jenna also became aware of the situation around her.
Normally, she is a very calm girl. Facing such terrible pressure among the vampire group, she can execute her plan accurately and force Green Lantern to reveal his flaws. If it weren't for the Flash's ability being too amazing, she would have won.
But she can also be said to have defeated the gods with her mortal body.
But perhaps because the Jenna in this universe is younger, when she realized what situation she was in, she was still panicked for a moment and instinctively looked at Bruce.
What made Bruce even more sad was that Jenna also realized that Bruce could not announce the fact that he wanted her to be his assistant at this time. She knew that doing so was the most sensible thing to do.
However, when people are vulnerable and helpless, what they need is not rational analysis, but emotional support. Sometimes they know that something is wrong and unhelpful, but they still hope that someone can stand up bravely and speak for them in this situation. Only in this way can practical comfort make them feel safe when they are suddenly stuck in a quagmire.
Humans would give anything for a sense of security at such moments.
But Jenna gave Bruce a look that said "it's okay".
Bruce felt like his neck was being strangled and his breath was stuck in his throat.
After a while, he exhaled slowly and lowered his eyes, as if he had made an important decision.
The mysterious patterns of the sun outside the window continued to bloom, and the soft light filtered through the glass windows shone on half of Bruce's face. He had the same calm and peaceful expression, one side looked like he was praying devoutly, and the other side looked like he was mourning sadly.
As soon as the bell rang, Bruce picked up the lesson plan he had written and said, "Students, I told you yesterday in the group that today's class will be about criminal psychology. There are three new cases waiting for us to explore..."
Only his voice echoed in the classroom, while the audience was completely silent, as if everyone was waiting for the fuse of the bomb to burn out.
"But unfortunately..." Bruce changed the subject and said, "I don't have as good a physique as the rest of you professors. I have been teaching too much recently. I feel a little tired and my immunity has dropped seriously. The school doctor said I need to rest."
The whispers in the audience finally broke out, but when Bruce spoke again, they returned to silence.
"Please study on your own first. In about ten minutes, a new substitute teacher will be here to give you a lecture."
It wasn't until Bruce walked out of the classroom that a heated discussion broke out, and Jenna looked confused.
It was because of her excellent talent for psychoanalysis that she knew Bruce was not the kind of person who would make such a decision. There was no such word as escape in the dictionary of someone like Batman, and a temporary concession was only to do better later.
In her opinion, Bruce would decide not to mention the previous transaction at all, to teach the class first, and then to find a way to proceed slowly after class.
So what are you doing now?
Ten minutes later, a figure appeared at the door on time. The tall and thin figure walked up to the podium and someone called out his name - "Professor Rodriguez".
Why him?
Jenna used her talent on Schiller for the first time - the next second, Schiller looked over, his golden vertical pupils staring straight at her.
Jenna's heart began to beat violently.
She began to gasp for air like crazy, like an asthma patient about to pass out.
In her mental picture, the image sketched out with just a few strokes was not a person, but more like a... monster.
A horrible monster.
