The city of Santa Monica, adjacent to Los Angeles, is located on the west side of Los Angeles near the coastline, and most people do not think of Santa Monica as a city in its own right, but as a district under the city of Los Angeles.

In fact, this is a misconception.

Around Los Angeles, there are many small cities, such as Santa Monica, Laguna, Beverly, Komodo Valley, etc., although outsiders seem to be in the Los Angeles area, but these cities are independent of the cities outside Los Angeles.

Even places like Beverly have their own independent city governments and mayors.

It can be said that the cultural environment and political environment here in the United States are very different from those in China, and Kim Hyun-tae only slowly learned about these after living here for more than half a year.

At the beginning, when he came to the United States in this time and space, he was really not used to it.

But after all, he has to survive here, so Kim Hyun Tae can only learn and understand slowly, and finally adapt.

This is a process of slowly getting used to and accepting, even if you immigrate here, you have to go through all this, let alone Kim Hyun-tae, a traverser.

Santa Monica has a population of 6 million, which is basically comparable to the population of a medium-sized city in China in another time and space.

But in this time and space, Santa Monica, with a population of 6 million, is just a small city in the Los Angeles area of Greater California.

Since more than 6 million people live here, the municipal authorities need to consider education, health care, roads and other related livelihood issues.

As a result, Santa Monica has established dozens of public colleges and universities, as well as a larger number of private schools, to solve educational problems for families.

Needless to say, those private colleges are where the children of the rich attend, and there is no doubt about the quality of teaching.

But the tuition fees of private colleges are not affordable for ordinary families.

Most of the time, these private colleges accept either the children of wealthy local people or international students from abroad.

Locals choose public universities.

For example, Kim Hyun-tae is preparing to join this university for the test, even if it is such a public school.

'Santa Monica Public High School', which can also be ranked in the top five in the Los Angeles area, has a very strong faculty, and is considered a very famous public university, and this university has many graduates every year after graduation and are admitted to some famous universities.

Therefore, many ordinary families hope to send their children to this university to study.

From this point of view, Americans treat their children's education problems no different from those of Chinese people, and parents hope that their children can have a good school.

Of course, this is the case with American families in this plane, but it is not clear in the original plane.

After all, Kim Hyun-tae traveled to the United States in this time and space, and lived here for almost a year, and he had never been to the United States in the original time and space.

Santa Monica High School has an elementary school, a middle school and a high school, which is basically equivalent to a comprehensive education school that includes three stages of education: elementary, middle and high school, with more than 30,000 students, and it is indeed a large college in Los Angeles.

When Kim Hyun-tae told Dave that he didn't need to find a private college for himself, the right school that flashed in Dave's mind at that time was Santa Monica High School.

And after Anne instructed her housekeeper Nord to provide Dave with the necessary assistance, the matter about Kim Hyun-tae's enrollment was completed smoothly in a short period of time.

If it is an ordinary person who wants to enroll in school temporarily, this must be very difficult to do, or even impossible at all.

But with Anne's help, it wasn't a big deal.

Early in the morning, Kim Hyun Tae and Dave met at the publishing house, and then Kim Hyun Tae got into Dave's car and went to Monica High School.

Along the way, Dave gave Kim Hyun Tae a detailed introduction to some information about the school, which gave Kim Hyun Tae some understanding in his heart.

According to Dave, although Santa Monica University is a public university, the quality of teaching is no worse than that of private colleges, if not much higher.

Of course, aside from the quality of teaching, there are also many problems in public colleges, such as the uneven quality of students, and even some gang problems, as well as the problem of 'bullying' among students.

Basically, such a problem exists in various universities in the United States, and it is simply impossible to solve it.

But as long as you ignore these issues, Santa Monica University is still very good.

After all, this university is ranked among the top five in the Los Angeles area, which can be seen from the extraordinary.

Therefore, Dave reminded Kim Hyun Tae that if he wants to attend this school, then he should try to keep a low profile and not get together with some troubled teenagers, those guys in the province will cause him trouble.

In this regard, Kim Hyun-tae deeply agreed.

He only chose to continue studying to solve the current troubles and set a good example for his daughter in the future, not to go to school to pick up girls, or to have a party with a bunch of little kids calling him brothers.

Besides, although he has the appearance of a 16-year-old boy, he is the soul of a middle-aged man in his bones.

In Kim Hyun-tae's eyes, those teenagers under the age of 20 are basically classified in the ranks of little children.

Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae's kind reminders to Dave were silently remembered.

He will not be high-profile in the college, nor will he contact some undesirable elements, he will be low-key and cautious to integrate into school life, and then finish high school and college smoothly.

As for the so-called gang problem or other problems, Kim Hyun-tae thinks that he basically has nothing to do with him.

As long as he doesn't look so dazzling, he won't attract bad intentions and eyes, will he?

Kim Hyun-tae, who has the soul of a 36-year-old middle-aged man, how can he not even understand this truth.

Well, there is another point, that is, you can't show your wealth.

Those little bullies in the school like rich children the most, which is their key target.

As long as you don't show your rich side, and at the same time keep a low profile, it shouldn't be difficult to get through your high school study life smoothly.

At least, in Kim Hyun-tae's heart, it shouldn't be difficult.

But Kim Hyun-tae still forgot one point, that is, how can a person like him not attract attention.

To paraphrase a line from a movie he had seen in his last life, that is, 'He is like a firefly under the bright moon, so vivid and outstanding, he can't hide it at all.'" So Kim Hyun-tae's college life must be 'colorful'.

Especially when he shuttled through the space-time tunnel, after coming to this space-time, his appearance also appeared 'optimized', and now he has become handsome and compelling.

So he is such a handsome guy, and the lethality of college girls is simply terrifying.

The idea of attracting girls is also tantamount to attracting trouble in disguise.

It's not for nothing that girls are synonymous with trouble......

------ Dividing Line------

Marty, a chubby black woman, 42 years old, looks like the black aunt next door, but she is actually the president of Santa Monica High School, which is Kim Hyun-tae's first impression after seeing Marty.

After driving to the school with Dave, Dave took Kim Hyun Tae straight to find the black principal and introduced Kim Hyun Tae.

Marty is a person who keeps a smile on her face at all times, and her chubby figure and round face make her smile even more relatable.

Greetings, politeness, and then Dave directly talked about the topic, Principal Marty was not verbose, and immediately took out two sets of test papers, and asked Kim Hyun Tae to start answering on the spot, and at the same time, in order to ensure fairness, he also called several other teachers to invigilate the exam.

Marty took out two sets of test papers, one is the 11th grade (high school sophomore) knowledge test paper, and the other is the 12th grade (high school junior) knowledge test paper, and each paper covers mathematics, culture, chemistry, history, flora and fauna and other subjects.

This is tantamount to saying that it is testing Kim Hyun-tae's knowledge status, and what stage is it in.

After all, according to the 16-year life trajectory of this time and space forged by the unscrupulous alien elementary school student for Kim Hyun-tae's father and daughter, Kim Hyun-tae dropped out of school at the age of 16 (sophomore year of high school), and he has been out of school for a year.

Then the question arises.

Now that Kim Hyun-tae is back in school, should he start in his sophomore year of high school, or should he be in his third year of high school?

If based on the actual situation, Kim Hyun-tae should repeat the second year of high school, that is, the 11th grade.

But Kim Hyun-tae himself wanted to transfer directly to the third year of high school in order not to waste too much time in high school, which made the school a little difficult.

So, in the end, there was such a situation, and he was asked to do two test papers at the same time.

In fact, the school's worries are unnecessary, because with Kim Hyun-tae's current IQ, he has no problem going straight to college.

Therefore, in the face of two high school knowledge test papers, how can it be difficult for him.

In front of the principal Marty and several strange male and female teachers, Kim Hyun-tae immediately began to write after getting the paper without hesitation at all.

In other words, in an hour, Kim Hyun-tae finished answering two test papers and dozens of papers.

This kind of speed really scared the principal, and those teachers were jumped.

Principal Marty asked a few teachers to leave her principal's office with the papers and go to quietly evaluate the scores, and when the teachers left, she began to chat with Kim Hyun Tae, and at the same time get to know Kim Hyun Tae as a 'young man' through chatting.

Dave was quiet the whole time, and didn't mean to interject at all.

Everything depends on Kim Hyun-tae's own.

Obviously, Kim Hyun-tae himself had expected such a situation, so he was not a little panicked.

"What made you choose to go back to school?"

After a moment's thought, Principal Marty asked.

Kim Hyun-tae responded without hesitation: "For myself, for being able to be a good example for others, and also for my daughter." ”

Hearing Kim Hyun-tae's answer, Principal Marty, who was chubby and looked like the black aunt next door, showed a trace of incomprehension in his eyes.

Obviously, she didn't think about some of the meaning for a moment.

For this reason, Kim Hyun-tae explained a little......
