Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 241 Not Simple

Colt opened the door and walked into the room.

He leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

After a while, there was a knock at the door, and Valeria walked in.

"How is your side?" Valeria asked casually.

"What else? It's nothing more than taking you around the school, looking at the school's teaching buildings, and not even going to see the laboratory." Colt replied, "I don't understand, what is the significance of these freshman activities? What, it’s not that some people can’t understand the map.”

"Who knows? Maybe there is?" Valeria laughed.

"But it's finally over." Colt sat up, "Speaking of which, there is another very interesting thing."

"whats the matter?"

"Did you know we didn't meet with the course advisor today and choose courses for the new semester?" Colt said.

"Yeah." Valeria nodded, "We did it too, is there any problem?"

"Here's the thing," Colter said, "and he recommended courses for me at the time, you know, some required math and physics classes. "

Valeria nodded.

"I just asked casually, what will be included in these courses, after all, I can't clearly judge what it is just by seeing the course code."

Valeria continued to nod.

"Then he thought about it, maybe he suspected that I couldn't understand or understand the nouns directly, so he wrote an example on the compulsory curriculum schedule he gave me."

Valeria probably understood, her expression became very subtle.

"Then he wrote a basic differential..." Colt said, "I probably didn't realize it all at once, so I picked up the pen and wrote the result subconsciously..."

"..."

"How to say it at the time, the scene was very embarrassing...We didn't know what to say at once." Colt said, "Then he reacted first and said, 'Ah, you already understand a little bit', So I was like, 'Yeah, I taught myself a little bit'."

"This is really a bad joke." Valeria rolled her eyes.

"How should I put it, it was really embarrassing at the time." Colt shook his head.

"Fortunately, I didn't encounter such an embarrassing thing." Valeria said, "I didn't ask what those courses were at all. After all, since it is compulsory, you have to take it sooner or later, and you will know what to do when you go to the class. "

"Okay, let's not talk about those things." Colt's tone became serious, "What do you think of the person who lives next door?"

"We've talked about it before, and it must not be a coincidence that the Avengers and the Fantastic Four could have put us in the same room as theirs, so, obviously, it's one of those things that Papa made sure to bring us over. The main reason." Valeria said, "It's just that I don't think this is the same thing as the old friend he mentioned for us to visit."

"Yes, it must be so." Colt nodded, "He mentioned an old friend, even if it was a lie, and even if it was not a lie, it was more like a hidden part of the truth, Kamala obviously It won't be the so-called, old, friend."

"There are many explanations for the word friend." Valeria thought, "You know, they sometimes refer to their opponents as old friends."

"I don't think so. If Reed wants us to deal with someone, he may indeed hide it like this. However, if Kamala, the Avengers, is also involved, there is no need for the Avengers to ask Kamala hides things, after all we all know what kind of person Kamala is, she won't suspect anything like us, the Avengers can tell her our identity, and then invite us to join logically." Cole Special analysis said.

"That's true." Valeria agreed, "If we are dealing with someone together, Dad may hide something from us, but the Avengers have no point in hiding Kamala."

She thought for a moment: "In other words, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers have a person they want to visit together, and this person is an old person who has many intersections with them."

"So, how many people in California do you think fit the bill?" Colt laughed.

Valeria took out the laptop from her schoolbag, put it on the coffee table, and quickly entered the database of the Fantastic Four.

The two begin a quick scan of California superheroes.

"Although, on the west coast, there are not as many superheroes as in New York, but many heroes also carry out activities on the west coast from time to time, plus some people who are resident in California, it seems that it is not easy to screen out suitable candidates. Isn't it that easy?" Colt raised his head and rubbed his neck.

"It seems that this is a dead end." Valeria turned off the computer, "However, we have another option."

"Isn't that good?" Colt raised an eyebrow.

……

"Huh?" Kamala opened the door in confusion.

"Hello." Valeria looked at her at the door with a smile.

Kamala blinked: "Oh, hello, what's the matter?"

"My boyfriend and I went to the supermarket just now," Valeria said. "It is said that good neighbor relations are important, so we bought some chocolates."

Valeria smiled and handed the chocolates to Kamala.

"Ah, thank you so much." Kamala quickly thanked, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

……

Valeria looked at Kamala's very simply furnished room: "How is your course selection?"

"Ah, it's so troublesome. I actually don't quite understand what those courses are for. I can choose whatever the advisor tells me. I hope it won't be so difficult that I can't understand it at all..." As soon as I mentioned this , Kamala felt a little guilty.

"How could it be?" Valeria comforted, "The courses for first-year freshmen are not so difficult that they are completely incomprehensible."

"I hope so," Kamala said.

"After all, I don't have much time to study." She added in her heart.

"Speaking of which, why did you choose this school?" Valeria seemed to inadvertently ask.

"I..." Kamala thought for a while, and she suddenly felt that it was difficult for her to answer this question. After all, she came here to participate in the Avengers training camp, and Stanford... To be honest, she didn't know how she was accepted. Admitted, finally, she made up an excuse that she thought was very powerful, "Because this is the best school that admitted me!"

Valeria's facial muscles twitched unnaturally, but she found that Kamala's improvised excuse seemed really convincing.

"But speaking of it, I have crossed the entire country to study." Kamala said to herself, "It took a long time to come from the east coast."

Valeria felt that for the first time in her life, she felt that the person she was talking to was a naive talker so beautiful, and she said with a little surprise: "You are also from the east coast?"

"Yeah." Kamala was also a little surprised, "I originally lived in New Jersey, but moved to New York after high school, what about you?"

"I've always lived in New York." Valeria answered naturally.

In this way, the two began to chat for a long time about what happened in their high school years in New York.

"Okay, it's time for me to go back." Valeria unobtrusively took out her phone and checked the time, "We can talk again when you have time?"

"Okay." Kamala nodded. "Let's find a time to check the class schedule. If there are classes at the same time, we can make an appointment to go to school together."

……

Back in her own room, Valeria let out a long sigh and leaned on the sofa.

"The next time you have to talk about information like this, you go." Valeria said.

"I thought you liked her very much." Colt smiled and took off the earphones, "What's more, it's impossible for me to gain trust as easily as you. After all, at this time, gender differences still have some influence. Moreover, I think you seem to be enjoying it, although you did hide your character in the conversation just now, but I don't think you have any dislike for Kamala."

"I admit that our Ms. Marvel is a completely unobtrusive, even hospitable, friendly neighbor, but that means chatting with her can be tiring, and she can ramble out a bunch of random shit. Unrelated chores." Valeria glanced at Colt dissatisfied, "I admit that if she rambles aimlessly, there will be a greater possibility of revealing a lot of things, but it also means that I need to Find the key points of value from a lot of worthless words, and then find a way to guide her to tell the follow-up information."

She scratched her blond hair: "Actually, I'd rather interrogate people like the big boss, after all, they don't have so much nonsense."

"Actually, we can still get a lot of things." Colt laughed, "Okay, I admit that chattering can make people uncomfortable, but..."

"Yes, I understand. What you want to say is that if the matter is urgent, even if Kamala talks as much as Peter Parker used to on the battlefield, at least she won't have the heart to chat with me, an ordinary person, for so long .”

"So no matter what, at least we can be sure that what Reid wants us to participate in does not seem to be an urgent and dangerous matter. Judging from Kamala's state, she seems to be really Like a student coming to school?"

"Maybe Tony Stark recently felt that he had too much money, so he decided to follow the example of Professor Charles Xavier to start a new superhero training school." Valeria joked.

"Who knows?" Colt answered, "If that's the case, I suggest he use the mechanical owl to send the admission letter."

……

Kamala lay on the bed.

She is very happy.

My new neighbor seems to be a very nice person to get along with.

"They would be surprised if they knew who I was." Kamala laughed.

From gaining the ability after the Terrigen bomb exploded, to meeting the idol Captain Marvel and being allowed to use her past name Ms. Marvel, she has long been used to living a double life as a masked hero.

She understands the significance of wearing a mask, and her mask protects those around her, but even after several years, she still inevitably feels an inexplicable excitement in this hidden life.

It was precisely because she couldn't tell, that she would secretly fantasize about the surprised and envious expressions her friends would show if they knew her identity.

She looked from the door to the chocolates on the table outside.

"Buy something for them if you have a chance." Kamala thought, "Or, go to Tony to help them get something that can give them an early warning?"

……

"Anyway, it's still a little unnerving, I always feel like if Dad puts us on something, it can't be easy, well, I mean, it can't really be a superhero school ?” Valeria looked at Colt who was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

Colt put down the book and spread his hands: "Although I am a student of Reed, you are still his biological daughter. If you can't even figure out who claims to be the smartest person in the world, do you think I can compare you to you?" How much do you understand?"

"I'm the smartest, remove the self-proclaimed one." Valeria reached for the nature journal that Colt had put down, "Any interesting new papers?"

Just as Colt was about to speak, he was interrupted by a cell phone ringing.

"Who will call me?" He looked puzzled at the strange number displayed on the phone.

"Maybe it's a scam call?" Valeria browsed through the directory.

"I don't know, but if it's a scam call, maybe we can have some fun." After he finished speaking, he connected the phone.

Just after hearing a word, Colt's face changed drastically.

Valeria keenly noticed the change in his expression, frowning and put down the journal in her hand.

"Is the matter so serious?" Colt's face was serious.

"Ok, I see."

"I can help you, but I have one condition."

"I need to know the ins and outs of the whole thing."

"Don't try to hide it from me. I know very well that if it is worth taking such a big risk for you, even at the price of almost sacrificing the Black Widow, then this is absolutely impossible."

"By the way, also, I need the full list, yes, all the participants, all of them."

"Okay, then, good cooperation, Dr. Banner."

After speaking, Colt hung up the phone.

He turned his head and looked at Valeria who was sitting on the sofa, her face had become serious.

"Well, now, we have to admit that Reed really won't arrange any simple things for us." He recounted the conversation between himself and Banner to Valeria.

After speaking, he suddenly laughed.

"What's wrong?" Valeria was puzzled.

"Look, this is indeed a superhero kindergarten." Colt said with a smile, "But Tony didn't get a mechanical owl..."

　Regarding the plot with the course consultant, I don’t know if anyone will say that the author wants to write pretentious and rubbish writing, but I will say it first, this part is my personal experience (I just want to reduce the number of words, heh , justified!)... At that time, he wrote a differential of x squared, and then I subconsciously said 2x, and then... I have to say, some old Americans' mathematics foundation is really poor, you have to know what our school said It's a famous school in the 50s, and the school's mathematics department still has a class, which talks about solving equations and the plane Cartesian coordinate system... Moreover, this is not the kind of course aimed at foreign schools, but a serious professional course, so You will be very confused about what these Americans were doing before they went to college... Can get full marks in the test, like a monster...)
　　Secondly, in the future, I don’t really want to divide the 4000-word content. I’ll try to see if I can evolve it into a daily update of 8000 words. Orz...
