Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Everyone in Zhenglian knew how much Vera valued little Jason, and Clark, who had been with the mother and son day and night, knew exactly how much Vera had spent on this child.

But they really didn't expect that the effect of Vera's free-range family education would be so terrible.

This boy who is under seven years old still has the lingering gangster spirit on the streets of Gotham. He is precise and ruthless when making decisions, and he is decisive when he does it. His performance is extremely realistic and violent;

On the other hand, because of Vera's education and nurturing this year, he has broadened his horizons. He can see the essential contradictions hidden in crime and darkness in Gotham City. Fields have their own opinions.

He really understands, and can really think for himself.

When an ordinary seven-year-old child was still crying and didn't want to go to school, Jason was already able to plan his study and life with strong self-control. He was able to complete the tasks assigned by Vera on time every day, and the rest of the time Play games like The Abyss or Civilization VI as you go.

Then he cleared the first level in "The Abyss", which made Gao Wan cry bitterly.

And using the same method as Batman himself.

When facing Batman, the child was not afraid at all. Of course he didn't know the true identity of the man in front of him, but because of this, he inadvertently punctured the plan Bruce was executing.

On the one hand, fight criminals as Batman, suppress gangsters' actions, secretly help the police station solve some complicated cases, and maintain law and order in Gotham.

On the other hand, as Bruce Wayne, support emerging industries to increase employment, transform by developing new energy sources and rectifying traditional industries, constantly introducing foreign investment, establishing charitable organizations internally, and promoting education reform and urban infrastructure construction as much as possible. Then there are every field of transportation, medical care, entertainment, and finance.

In order to save Gotham, in order to resolve those fundamental contradictions, the man really did this.

Not only as a vigilante, every branch of Wayne Enterprises has Bruce's own considerations.

He was exhausted, exhausted, and tried his best, from a millionaire to a billionaire... Everyone thought that Bruce Wayne just wanted to monopolize the entire Gotham, but the little kid in front of him said softly and crisply :

"If you want to save Gotham, the Wayne Group is the best choice."

Standing in front of the tall man with black hair and blue eyes, the handsome boy who also has black hair and blue eyes raised his chin.

He said: "I can do it if I go, just wait and see."

He escaped from the worst mud in Gotham, was brought to light and glory, saw the whole world with tenderness and respect, but in going round and round, he was still willing to look back at the mud and crash into his brother. Tan this south wall.

Some kind of unknown emotion surged up and filled his chest in an instant, and the long-suffering bitterness and pain were instantly dispersed. He lowered his eyes and looked down at the bright-eyed and arrogant child in front of him condescendingly.

...like seeing a future.

After the meeting, Vera took time out as usual to explain the lessons to the children. Seeing that Jason was a little sleepy, she simply let the children sleep in her exclusive office.

The heating in the room was fully turned on, and Jason, who had simply washed up, still had a warm blush on his face. He got under the quilt and asked Vera beside the bed:

"When are you going to bed?"

The child's blue-green eyeballs rolled around, hesitated for a moment, and then pretended to be disgusted and said:

"For the sake of giving me the bed, I can barely give you half of the quilt."

"Don't force it."

Vera looked understanding, "For the sake of your embarrassment, I won't sleep tonight."

Jason: "..."

Vera smiled softly: "Hey, I'm teaching you not to lie to others with duplicity."

Jason: ...Crap the bullshit!

Before Jason could come up with another explanation with a stiff face, Vera seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and gave an example:

"For example, it's very easy to go wrong when you argue that you want to take his job because of your prejudice against Batman-so why do you hate Batman anyway?"

Speaking of the latter question, even Vera felt a little curious:

Since Christmas, the relationship between Jason and Clark, Hal, Shazam and others has improved visibly to the naked eye, but they are still unfazed by the earliest and familiar Batman, obviously not dealing with it.

When Batman was mentioned, Jason's already upset face became even uglier. He gave Vera a blank look, and replied angrily:

"Just pretend that I had a grudge against that guy in my previous life."

Vera didn't change her face, she continued to maintain a gentle smile, poked Jason's tender face with a finger, and said softly:

"Huh? I didn't catch what you just said?"

Jason: "..."

"……All right."

The unhappiness in his heart suddenly disappeared, Jason turned his head and said in a fit of anger, as if he was discouraged:

"I don't like Batman, and I don't have any prejudice against him... Tsk, just pretend that I can't understand his bad aesthetics and black uniform."

He really doesn't like Batman, but this kind of dislike is simply because he can't understand his behavior (forcibly pressing him to do homework) rather than because of any other contradictions.

To be honest, most of Jason's prejudice against Batman came from his unceremonious interrogation of Vera when he first appeared.

Even after a year has passed, Jason can still recall the scene of being hung on the steel beam and watching Vera almost being insulted by a group of bastards. This indelible memory has been recalled repeatedly by him, every time. Each time will cause intense anger and painful powerlessness.

This kind of complicated negative emotion can't be vented on Vera, let alone tell her that amidst the incomparable self-blame and discomfort, the child inevitably raised a trace of anger towards Batman.

If it was 'me' who came to the rescue as a masked vigilante.

If only 'I' could be as strong as Batman.

'I' wouldn't let Vera get that slap, and I wouldn't let that bastard like Bob touch her!

'I' could have done better than him, just give me a little time.

This kind of vague thought is actually just a normal reaction derived from a state of powerlessness and guilt - because even if Jason feels uncomfortable and blames himself, he has to admit that it was indeed the appearance of Batman that saved Vera and himself.

Comparing the two, it's not so much that Jason doesn't like Batman, it's better to say that he hates his own weakness and incompetence.

"Also, I'm not threatening to take Batman's job just because I have a prejudice against Batman."

Concentrating some complicated emotions and memories, Jason turned over again, and he looked at Vera with his eyes open:

"I was serious."

Vera's hand, which was still fiddling with the bedside lamp, stopped suddenly, and she turned her head with a calm expression.

"……what?"

"The script in the game is based on a real case, right? When I was in Gotham, I met him once—forget it."

Jason's words were authentic, he hesitated for a moment, as if he had thought of something bad, as if he was afraid of scaring Vera, he shut up again.

"Anyway, just take me seriously."

The child muttered, turned over, buried his head in the pillow, his voice gradually weakened, "...I have my own plan, don't worry about it."

The warm light from the bedside lamp reflected Jason's reddish pinnae. Vera looked at the child on the bed quietly for a long time before getting up and leaving silently.

She has always given Jason enough respect and autonomy. Since the child has said so, she will never ask more dangerous and weird questions.

However, when she walked out of the office and closed the door behind her, Vera seemed to have lost all her strength, standing stiffly by the door, without moving for a long time.

In the quiet corridor, she lowered her head, took a deep breath, and let the scattered hair block her slightly narrowed eyes.

Before that, Vera could work continuously for several days for this game and still be full of energy, working like a robot that would not get tired at all.

But at this moment, the expression that appeared on her face was a real, overwhelming exhaustion and fragility.

Looking at the dark figure slowly approaching not far away, she leaned against the wooden door and clasped the wooden doorknob with one hand. Finally, she couldn't help closing her eyes and showing a bitter but gentle smile.

"It's wise for a radio director to refuse to let you read bedtime stories to children."

Facing the oncoming Batman, Vera repeatedly returned to her original casual and lazy look. She tilted her head and said jokingly,

"Otherwise, would you consider learning from Richard and changing the uniform to red, yellow and green parrot colors?"

Batman stood in front of Vera silently, without expressing his opinion.

In other words, he clearly understood... Vera at this moment didn't need his response, she was just venting.

The distance is so close, through the heavy armor, he easily noticed her exhaustion and haggardness that could not be concealed, he paused, and said hoarsely:

"That kid is very talented."

Jason Todd was originally a child born with a genius.

According to Bruce's investigation data, when he was wandering on the street, he was far more sophisticated than the average kid. He knew how to cooperate with gangs, he knew how to submit to police officers like Kona when his ability was temporarily insufficient, and he knew how to use his strength Fighting hard, pretending to be powerful... The most important thing is that he understands the importance of resistance.

He does have unprecedented potential and future.

And from the way he plays the game, Jason is dangerous.

Because of his past experience, he is used to all kinds of dirty methods and all kinds of villains. Unknowingly, his own behavior will be biased towards those villains, beating NPCs violently, and using all means to achieve his goals... …These are extremely deviant behaviors, and it is easy to go astray if you are not careful.

He recognized the child's talent, but he had to warn and guard against it.

After him, Vera naturally continued:

"And that's why he needs guidance."

She smiled lightly, narrowed her eyes, and asked coldly, "Talk?"

The lake-green eyes slammed into the opponent's deep blue eyes brightly and coldly. Vera put her arms around her chest and pressed her forward without any timidity, aggressive and indomitable.

But with such a fearless and fearless gaze, Bruce felt that she was like a wounded animal, constantly blowing at him bluffing.

She knew what he was thinking.

He knew she knew what he was thinking.

Looking at each other in silence, they reached an agreement.

……

After waking up the next day, the bleary-eyed Jason received great news.

——After a year of countless interviews, Vera finally gave up on the idea of ​​hiring Jason a tutor.

"The teachers interviewed last week were the last candidates Mary could find. Unfortunately, they did not meet my expectations."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jason, who was still rolling on the bed, twitched the corners of his mouth, obviously showing a happy smile, and then quickly restrained himself, twitching the corners of his mouth and lamenting:

"It's a pity that this can't be helped."

Very good, without a tutor who doesn't know what is called, there is one less threat!

Obviously, kid Jason, who was already resistant to outsiders, almost doubled his resistance when facing a role like a tutor who would stay in front of him every day and get along with Vera day and night.

"Actually, I don't need a tutor. I can take online classes by myself."

With this kind of resistance and rejection, Jason said naturally, "Didn't you do a good job in the past year?"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Vera smiled, "But online classes can't replace some practical classes—Jason, I can't take you horseback riding or football."

What family education requires is of course comprehensive education. In addition to cultural and social classes, sports are also essential.

If she could teach Jason these courses completely, she wouldn't have to spend a whole year looking for professional tutors everywhere.

Jason curled his lips disapprovingly: "Why? Don't you still want to hire teachers in other states?"

"Ah, I've given up."

Vera shook her head, seeming regretful and said:

"You can't find a suitable teacher, and your physical education practice class can't be delayed-fortunately, the Justice League is relatively free recently. Would you like to take classes at the base?"

As if a huge candy cake fell from the sky, Jason jumped out of bed all at once:

"……what?"

The child dressed at an astonishing speed, and rushed to Vera, his eyes sparkling:

"You mean—you mean Superman, Green Lantern, they taught me how to play football?"

"This is also an impossible solution."

Vera smiled, gently touched Jason's little furry head, and acquiesced to the child's guess: "Would you like it?"

What else is there to be willing or not!

Jason's eyes widened suddenly, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily overflowed with a sincere smile. Recalling the surprise and excitement of being led by Superman and Green Lantern across the universe on Christmas Eve, his heart suddenly jumped .

He was lying when he said that he didn’t like the Milky Way train before. Like Dick, he was going crazy on the train, and because of this, he liked Superman and Green Lantern the most, but because of Vera’s presence, I don't want to trouble her so I don't say anything.

And now, Vera actually speaks in person, saying that she invites Superman and Green Lantern to play with him (teach him physical education)!

The corners of Jason's mouth were almost turned up to his ears, but even so, recalling the painful experience of being deceived by Vera when he first met Zhenglian, the child still doubted very cautiously:

"...There won't be any guy I don't like there, right?"

That bastard Batman shouldn't get mixed up in it and force me to do my homework, right?

"how come?"

Vera looked puzzled, "Not everyone has time."

When she said this, Jason immediately realized: Batman is very busy, so naturally he doesn't have time to take care of the physical education class of such a child.

After thinking about this, Jason nodded quickly and hurriedly agreed.

After washing up at an astonishing speed, the child followed Vera from the studio to the living room with expectations full of expectations:

Will Superman play football with me?Will Green Lantern Make New Basketball Courts?Will I ride the green pony?Will I run in the sky? ——No, God must be inevitable, maybe there are other surprises...

Held by Vera, Jason, whose mind was full of flying in the sky, came to the living room of Zhenglian. When he heard Vera say, "Okay, you have to teach him well", he subconsciously raised his head and pointed at the teachers. He smiled so much that he showed eight small teeth.

He saw a familiar black mountain with two cat ears standing on the top of the mountain.

There is no Superman, no Green Lantern, no other superheroes, just Batman.

Only... Batman.

batman.

Vera raised her hand with a smile, and introduced to the child:

"Hey, call me teacher."

……

……

It took less than a second for the face full of joy and anticipation to turn into a ferocious twist. The only two adults in the hall heard the heart-piercing cry of a normal six-year-old child:

"Vera Senna, you fucking lied to me again!!"

"Where did I lie to you?"

Vera looks so innocent:

"You said it yourself last night that the only thing you don't like is Batman's dark uniform, so you see—"

As she spoke, she took out a lipstick from her purse, and before the man could react, she drew a small heart with two strokes on his armor, and said confidently (brazenly):

"Look! This is not pitch black! The name of this new set of armor is 'Love You Love You Jason Loves You'. Do you feel your teacher's heart?"

Jason: "..." Trembling with anger.

I can't stay here anymore! !
