Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 5
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the boy and the girl sat on both sides of the table, each reading and calculating with their heads down.

"Don't you think it's meaningless?" Valeria suddenly put down the pencil in her hand.

"Huh?" Colt raised his head, not quite understanding what the girl meant, he considered his tone, "I think the information you helped me find can bring me a lot of help."

"That's not what I meant." The girl frowned, "Don't you think it's meaningless for us to stay in high school?"

"It doesn't make sense to stay in high school?" Colt didn't quite understand what the other party meant.

"Yeah, if you think about it carefully, what else can we learn in high school?" The girl's face is not very good, "This is a waste of time. The knowledge we have has far exceeded the needs of high school. Why? Do you want to stay here?"

"Uh... what you said makes sense. From this point of view, you really don't need to study in high school anymore. Maybe you can try to apply for college in advance?" Colt considered his tone and gave made a suggestion.

"University is like that..." Valeria murmured in a low voice without letting others hear, and then she asked, "What about you? Don't you feel bored?"

"Me?" Colt didn't expect the other party to ask himself, "I haven't thought about this question?"

Seeing Valeria's surprised expression, Colt thought about it and replied: "If it's just about learning knowledge, it's really hard for me to learn anything in high school, but... how should I put it, I It's just that I never thought about what I would do if I wasn't in high school. You know, our current grade should be a high school student, although in a way, I have more things than ordinary high school students, But I still just think of myself as a high school student, so I don't think about it too much."

"I don't quite understand." Valeria shook her head, "If you have completed your high school goal, that is to say, you have learned all the knowledge that high school can teach you, then you should end this stage instead of staying it's here."

"Maybe that's the problem?" Colt replied, "In your understanding, high school is just a place for learning knowledge, but for me, I think high school is more like a process, no matter how quickly it is over. High school textbooks, high school is an experience."

"An experience?" Valeria continued to ask.

"Wake up every morning, come to school, sit in the classroom to attend class, then chat with classmates casually, come to the library to work in the afternoon, and finally sit here and study something with you." Colt recalled his day, " This is life in high school for me, it doesn’t matter how much you learn, life is life, not everything has such a strong purpose.”

"Don't you think this is a waste of time?" Valeria understood Colt's thoughts, "For us, if we can have better conditions and environment, we can understand things far more than staying together There are far more ordinary high schools."

"Well, you are right." Colt agreed, "As you said, maybe I have reached the level of many college students now, but it is only a few years away from college, and I still feel that there is no It is necessary to catch up with such a short time, or rather, I enjoy my life in high school. A lot of things will always be learned, and I don’t think there is a need to rush. In fact, in general, it is because I live this life every day , so I never thought about making any changes in the past.”

"I think you are wasting your talent." Valeria was obviously dissatisfied with Colt's attitude, "If you have the ability, you should do what you can."

"You are right, but I may really be a lazy person." Colt was silent for a moment, and replied, "This is a question of life attitude, there is no right or wrong, I think what you said is quite right, if You really hope to be able to enter the university early, I think you can seriously consider applying early, after all, with your ability, there should be no possibility of being rejected, right?"

Valeria didn't reply, but lowered her head again and began to study the paper.

……

"Xiaofu." Valeria looked at her brother who was holding a controller and was about to play the game in front of her and asked, "You have been limiting your abilities all the time, what do you think?"

"What do you think?" Franklin looked puzzled, "Haven't I been limiting my abilities all the time? Just like my dad said, if I interfere with time, space and the real universe at will, there may be many bad effects, leading to catastrophic s consequence."

"Well, that's true." Valeria nodded, "But, for you, there is no way to fix any consequences, right?"

"What do you want to do?" Franklin suddenly became alert, "You don't want to teach me to do something I shouldn't do?"

"How is it possible?" Valeria gave her brother a blank look, "I just want to ask you."

"I don't have any ideas." Franklin thought about it carefully, "Because I have been controlling my abilities all the time. I have been like this since I was a child. Unless something really big happens, I seldom fully use my abilities. So, slowly I just got used to it, if there is any special idea, um, I really don’t have any idea.”

Valeria pursed her lips and remained silent.

"I see, you must still be brooding over the fact that your mother sent you to high school." Franklin laughed, "Now I think this may be a very important reason."

"Why?" Valeria asked.

"You can't figure it out with your smart head?" Franklin joked, and then seeing his sister's face getting darker and darker, he continued, "Because you never had an ordinary life."

"You are too smart. So in your eyes, all things, the most important thing is to find a reasonable and correct result. For you, life is just a problem, just find the solution and solve the answer. But in fact, many things There's no answer at all, like why should I limit my abilities. I'm really just used to it, of course I still use them if I have to, but for the most part they're clearly nothing Use. You should try not to think about life with your over-smart head, I think if you can 'live' a day normally, maybe you can better understand the meaning of so-called life."

"How about a normal day?" Valeria frowned.

"It's very simple." Franklin raised his eyebrows, and then a handle floated in front of Valeria, and at the same time, all the papers that Valeria was holding in his hand disappeared, "Come and play games with me first. "
