Mutants' Daily Life [Comprehensive British and American]

Simple speaking skills

"The Dursleys at number four, Privet Drive, always proudly claim to be perfectly normal people..."

"Today's broadcast sounds a bit interesting."

Qin Gray sat on the big window sill of the library, gently pushed open the window, slightly tilted her head to listen to the voice outside the window, the afternoon sun shone warmly on her face, and a faint soft halo made her The whole person seems to have a kind of hazy beauty.

The gentle and peaceful appearance of this red-haired girl is completely different from the gloomy and self-closing appearance when she first entered school.

Scott sat next to him with a book open on the table.

However, most of the time his eyes were on Qin, and the book hadn't been turned for a long time.

"I heard that it was a fairy tale that Carlos heard before. Then, the professor helped organize and made the character script, and Mrs. Maria made the soundtrack. Actually..."

He thought for a while, and said with a fair evaluation: "When Carlos really wants to do something, he is still very firm and persistent. Of course, the premise is that someone will watch over him, supervise him, and don't make another... Well, with normal people A whimsy with a slightly different mindset. Now the story, not bad."

"Yes, a very nice story."

While listening to the radio, Qin said softly: "You said that boy with mysterious power, is he just like us mutants?"

"This may be a bit similar, I haven't thought about it carefully."

Scott smiled and replied: "You know, before the broadcast came out, I had already read the first script script they submitted. The stories about wizards and magic are indeed very exciting. However, at present It’s only about two chapters out. Of course I’d love to tell you the story, but if I say too much it’s going to be a bit of a spoiler, are you sure you want to hear it?”

"No, then there's no need." Qin replied slowly: "It's not bad to have expectations every day."

"Jean, you look a little tired."

Scott heard the tiredness in her words, so he stopped pretending to read. He stood up directly, walked over, and asked with concern: "Is it still a matter of ability? If you are really tired, don't hold on Come on, go back and sleep well."

"No way, Scott."

Qin rubbed her temples, sighed and said, "I'm much better than before, especially now when it's serious, the professor can help me do a short-term shield. In the past, every moment and every second, there are various All kinds of voices keep ringing in my ears and in my mind, and there is no way to turn them off, and I can’t fall asleep peacefully. Now, as long as I take the initiative to use my abilities, it’s only when other people are particularly emotional. It's going to feel. That's really good enough for me."

"When you are particularly emotional, can you feel it? Then..." A faint smile appeared on Scott's face.

He suddenly bent down, stared intently at Qin with his eyes behind the red quartz lens, and asked in a low voice: "Qin, can you feel what I'm thinking right now?"

"Hi Scott!"

Qin put her hand on his shoulder subconsciously, showing a smiley but embarrassed expression: "Don't be like this..."

Scott held her hand and said seriously, "Jin, I've always wanted to tell you..."

"I've always wanted to tell you that it's forbidden to talk about love in the library."

Wolverine Logan came out from behind the bookshelf with an unlit cigar in his mouth, ignoring Scott's murderous gaze and Heqin's embarrassed expression, and grasped a book thicker than an Oxford dictionary with one hand as light as nothing.

He pointed to a corner of a bookshelf not far away: "I declare in advance that I didn't eavesdrop. Before you two came, I was basking in the sun and sleeping on the other side. I was quarreled by you two."

Scott stared at him with a bad face.

Qin looked at the ground in embarrassment.

Logan didn't continue to say some embarrassing words. He just looked at Scott with the kind of eyes that look like a child, and turned and left casually.

But before he left, he came out with a cheap mouth: "Qin, according to the advice of adults, don't think about these things too early, and be careful. This kind of boy with no hair grows, the promise is usually only 3 minutes heat."

Jean had no idea what to say.

She pushed Scott away embarrassedly, and ran out at once.

"I said, what on earth do you want to do?" Scott asked through gritted teeth.

"Tell me casually, really." Logan replied with a very normal expression, as if it was really just a casual warning from the teacher.

Scott was pissed off.

Because he has always belonged to the kind of good student who is more worry-free and sensible, considers the overall situation, and obeys the rules.

But during a training session in the afternoon, Logan happened to pass by the side corridor.

Scott suddenly used laser light to directly shoot a hole out of Logan's 'cat ear hairstyle', but the reason given was very absurd 'blinked accidentally and got it in the wrong direction'.

Not injured, in fact, it doesn't matter if you are injured, there is a self-healing factor anyway.

Therefore, Logan shook his head, rubbed his hair carelessly, and ignored it.

But afterwards, Professor Charles still said to Scott in a non-essential way: "Abilities cannot be abused, Scott. In case you really lose control, it happens that the person opposite is not Logan who has a self-healing factor. You have Didn't think about the consequences?"

A good student, Scott, rarely retorted to his respected professor: "If it wasn't for Logan, I wouldn't do it."

He sued angrily: "Mr. Logan has ruined my confession to Qin more than ten times..."

Professor Charles was silent for a while, feeling that the self-healing factor was really important to Logan (otherwise, he would have died a hundred or eighty times earlier).

Ignore Scott's unsatisfactory and bumpy love path, and Logan's inexplicable "can't understand Scott, and wants to make trouble for good students" boring behavior.

Carlos' radio agency is finally on the right track.

At least the first broadcast after three days, everyone's response is still good.

Because there are only two chapters at the moment, I can’t hear the context of the story for the time being, but it’s faster than before to listen to the hymn to Jesus while sleeping, and the inexplicable Greek mythology of the Three Views. This time the radio drama is already a very good work. up.

It can only be said that contrast produces beauty.

At the same time, the students of X College, on the one hand, took good care of the mood of the president Carlos, and were not too picky about the content of the broadcast; on the other hand, many of them signed up to dub the characters in the story , which made most of the students have a sense of participation in this program; thirdly, after the torment a while ago, it really made everyone's acceptance much higher.

Therefore, the broadcasting agency was finally approved by the student union and could be retained.

In Scott's words, it is 'to observe the aftereffect'.

But when choosing a role before, it was actually a mess.

Kurt is responsible for reading the character dialogue in Harry Potter.

When Carlos thought of 'battered children', the first thing that came to his mind was Nightcrawler.

When Little Night Walker heard the news and realized that he was actually the protagonist, he flicked his tail happily.

He thinks: 'Carlos is really a good man'; 'Carlos is my best friend'; 'I like Carlos the most'.

Then, even if Carlos ate all his afternoon tea snacks in the name of celebration, he was still elated and loyal to Carlos to the point of death.

Moreover, he was very serious, studying back and forth every day on how to pronounce those few sentences well.

Carlos seriously doubted that Kurt probably hadn't realized his precarious situation, otherwise, he wouldn't be so foolish as to just play and not learn.

The stack of exam papers with red crosses on the table in his dormitory is almost as thick as three or four books, and his grades are deducted every day. up.

Later, Carlos's guess was confirmed.

However, he was still too naive.

Kurt didn't react badly at all when he was told to repeat a grade after all the courses were popular.

He cheered, and happily teleported three or four times in a row: "Study another year? Oh, that's great! The school is super good, I want to stay here for the rest of my life..."

Carlos: Huh?It's still possible to do this... Well, you win!

At the same time, Professor Charles really wanted to join in the fun and wanted to be a guest principal.

His reason was: "I was originally the principal, isn't it appropriate to play the principal?"

But Carlos rejected it with righteous words and principles: "The principal is a grandfather! Not like you."

In the end, he gave the role to the already gray-haired Howard...

Howard said: I am very busy, I have no interest at all.

But under Mrs. Maria's persuasion, he still reluctantly agreed, but in fact, he might as well let Charles go, because Howard couldn't show the adjective 'kind' at all.

However, Charles has a new goal. He recently recommended himself as the final boss Voldemort...

As for some other roles, they were gradually assigned to the students who came to join in the fun.

In short, everyone had a great time, but the level of professionalism can only be said to be average!

Of course, this kind of activity of the broadcasting club can only be regarded as a small episode in the campus.

The truly large-scale "extracurricular activities" - Howard and the Winter Soldier's "Finding Captain America" ​​journey, at this time, has gradually begun to take shape.

The two of them have already designated several very possible locations, and the Winter Soldier has even used his fastest speed to run around the area.Originally, I was a little worried about the detailed investigation, but with some mutant students with special abilities from X Academy, these problems became no longer a problem.

In addition to the fish-like student who walked and breathed freely underwater, they also recruited a few students who had no attack power but had different specialties in other aspects.

Then, in order not to be discovered by some organizations like Hydra, Howard and the Winter Soldier, after discussing, decided to hang up at a certain university, under the name of a research team that detects the ocean, or observes underwater creatures. lead the team over.

Because sometimes, the more undisguised, the easier it is to be ignored.

When everything was ready and just waiting to go, Howard discovered a strange thing.

He found that, recently, Carlos seemed to be paying special attention to this 'finding Captain America' activity.

Although Howard often shows his dislike for Carlos, a brat who likes to be coquettish, likes to die, and is also a waste of science in his studies.

But in fact, deep down in his heart, he still likes his little savior, and his wife Maria takes care of him and gets along with him for a long time... Regarding Carlos' character and preferences, he thinks he can be called I know something about it.

Based on these understandings, he is very sure and sure: Carlos has no admiration for Captain America.

In fact, in other words, Carlos' narcissism made it impossible for him to worship others unless that person was himself.

Moreover, Howard has seen what a real fan of Captain America looks like.

More representatively, for example, a student named Coulson from SHIELD Academy, he is a die-hard fan of Captain America, and he collected all the out-of-print cards of Captain America with all his heart...

To give a specific example, in the early years, SHIELD Academy once organized students to visit museums.

When I visited the exhibition hall of Captain America, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Because in that exhibition hall, there was a statue of the US team that was so well done... He himself wrote in the inspection later, 'At that moment, I was inspired by the sun-like light of the idol, and I couldn't restrain my body from surging enthusiasm and excitement...'.

Therefore, he used the quality of "secret infiltration" that an agent should have. While everyone was not paying attention, he broke away from the large group of visitors, resolutely and silently turned over the hurdle, climbed up the stone steps, and quickly He hugged the statue of Captain America tightly and didn't let go.

Then, I held up the 'advanced camera that comes standard with Agents of SHIELD (used to shoot confidential documents when performing tasks)', and took a 'group photo' for half an hour.

Later, because the selfie was too large, and he wanted to take a better one, he turned on the flash and was finally discovered unfortunately.

In the end, he was dragged out by the museum's administrators holding his arms.

It's a shame.

The person in charge of the museum said seriously: Next time it happens again, people from SHIELD Academy will be banned from entering the museum.

Nick Fury, the S.H.I.E.L.D. director who just took office, was so angry that he wanted to beat Coulson to death: "Sneak in as soon as you sneak in, shoot as soon as you shoot!"But tm was actually discovered! ! !

The deputy director, Alexander Pierce, who is still relatively good-tempered, stopped him and advised him, "Young people, you should always be a little bit energetic."

What's the use of vigor, the key point is the professionalism of an agent, brother! ! !

Nick Fury's face was dark, if the other party was not his old friend for many years, he would be lazy to talk about it.

I really have nothing to say to this kind of layman who can't even grasp the key points and insists on pretending to be a good person.

After Peggy found out about this, she laughed happily on the hospital bed for a long time...

However, few people knew about it.

Because it was recorded in the top-secret archives of the SHIELD Academy, only employees with level [-] special agent authority and above were allowed to call and view it.

After Howard briefly recalled the "Code of Conduct for True Fans of the US Team", he compared Carlos' obviously purposeful insinuating behavior, which always felt very wrong.

Although it's not a big deal, Howard always feels that he can't figure it out and feels uncomfortable.

So he told the story to his wife.

Mrs. Maria was very surprised, and gave him a very simple sentence: "If you don't understand, you can ask him directly, Carlos has always been very good."

Howard froze for a moment.

He does not admit the judgment of 'very good' in the second half of the sentence, but the first half of the sentence has to be said to be a good idea.

Maybe it's because there's a lot of hypocrisy outside.I don't know when it started, but he even forgot that when dealing with family and friends, you can ask directly!

Fortunately, it is not too late to know now...

So on the second day, he pulled Carlos and asked patiently: "Carlos, do you like Captain America very much?"

"No, I didn't know him before." Carlos answered very honestly.

Unsurprisingly.

Howard nodded secretly, thinking that his wife's idea of ​​'asking directly' was really good.

So, his tone became more friendly, and he asked more directly: "Then why have you paid so much attention to the matter of 'Finding Captain America' recently?"

[Because Tony is worried that you will make a mistake in a place where he can't see, and do some unseemly things, which will hurt Mrs. Maria's heart.Therefore, he asked me to monitor the activities of "Finding Captain America" ​​and your every move. As long as the activities progress, or you have any bad intentions or behaviors, you should notify him immediately and in time. 】

[For this reason, he promised that he can provide me with a year of delicious desserts for free, regardless of the brand, type and price. 】

Will Carlos say the above truth so stupidly?

of course not.

But Carlos really rarely lied when it wasn't necessary.

He decided to adopt a simple speaking technique.

So, his answer to Howard's words became: "Tony asked me to pay attention, and asked me to report to him in time."

"Tony?" Howard was really shocked.

A few days ago, Tony said that he admired Captain America, but in fact, he didn't believe it.

At that time, he only thought that his son finally stopped rebelling and wanted to reconcile with himself, so he found a ready-made step down.

After all, in the early years, Tony was very opposed to his insistence on looking for Captain America, but now...he began to wonder if his opinion of Tony was correct...

Howard thought for a long time, and had to admit that he didn't pay enough attention to Tony.

In my impression, Tony is a genius (yes, he knew that his son is a genius, but he often hit him in order not to make him proud), a little bastard who will never pass the rebellious period, a proud and arrogant troublemaker, and , the bad boy who has been against him since he was born...

If Tony hated Captain America, he would be understandable.

But to say that Tony admires Captain America very much, he really can't understand!

Isn't the captain, the kind of authoritative figure who looks tall and upright, is the type that Tony, a rebellious kid in the rebellious period, hates and wants to resist the most?

(As it turns out, he was right about his son's analysis.)

But at this moment, the misguided Howard was completely troubled.

He really couldn't imagine his son, like Coulson from SHIELD Academy, frantically collecting Captain America cards and fanatically adoring Captain America behind his invisible back.

If you don't understand something, go home and ask your wife.

Howard ran to ask Mrs. Maria again.

After finishing the matter, he stated his troubles again, and asked with a sigh, "I usually... am I really being too negligent to Tony?"

Mrs. Maria had been worrying about the relationship between father and son for a long time. At this time, she hurriedly seized the opportunity to speak well for her son.

She first glanced at Howard condemningly and said, "Did you just find out?"

But she was smart enough not to go over old accounts, and she didn't intend to continue to criticize, but took the opportunity to solve the problem.

"It's not surprising. Tony has always been duplicity. In this, you father and son are the most similar."

Mrs. Maria explained rationally: "He actually loves you very much. You respect the captain so much. Tony must have been influenced by you. However, out of self-esteem, he may not want you to know, so he deliberately pretended to hate you. Maybe he just wants to get your attention, but you always scold him when you see him."

Howard was rarely made guilty by Maria's euphemistic complaint.

He was determined to treat Tony better, for example, to satisfy his wish for the idol of the US team...

He called Carlos into the office again, and asked again specifically: "In addition to asking you to pay attention to the progress of finding Captain America, did Tony explain anything, such as wanting a card, or poster, video, audio, etc. ..."

After finishing speaking, he also generously promised Carlos: "Think about it carefully and explain it in detail. I will buy the game console you want tomorrow for you."

When Howard did this, he was really fatherly.

He was worried that Tony would be embarrassed to show his "star chasing" side to himself, and he took care of the other party's self-esteem, so he asked Carlos indirectly.

At the same time, he has already planned to find a way to find the things he collected in the past, sort out a set of Captain America's big gift bag, and give it to Tony as a gift...

This time, Tony won't be complaining that he doesn't care about him and only knows how to give money, right?

Howard himself was almost moved by himself.

Carlos thought about it, and the general way of thinking is very simple: [I want dessert, I want game consoles too! ] So, he continued to delete the complicated and honest answer: "Yes, Tony said, if there is progress, but he can't keep up, let me hurry up and take more high-definition, naked, and bare-butt photos of Captain America (use Threat him in the future, don’t destroy other people’s families).”

Howard held onto the table tremblingly: Wait, what's going on... My heart seems to be unbearable...
