Chapter 25: The Shield of Hope

Playground.

Taking advantage of Jessica's leave, Ivan felt that the most important thing was to relax Jessica's mood.

After all, something like that happened yesterday happened, although Ivan didn't witness the battle between Jessica and the monster.

But just from Jessica's description, he could imagine how thrilling it was.

So while riding the merry-go-round, Ivan asked Jessica if she had dismissed the idea of superheroes.

Jessica smiled, "Well, I'm not a superhero anymore." ”

"That's right, haha." Ivan laughed.

Being a superhero is dangerous, and if you are not right, there is no danger, but compared with the two, the former is definitely more dangerous.

So listening to Jessica say that he dispelled the idea of becoming a hero, Ivan felt that it was still a good thing.

"How about being a detective?" Jessica asked.

"Hmm... How do you think a play is a play? ”

"Because it's cool!"

Isn't it cool... She said that she wanted to be a hero, but it was all of a sudden.

said that I read some hero comics in the bookstore, and then I thought it was cool, so I wanted to be...

Why is it still cool?

Ivan jokingly asked: "What's so cool about detectives, investigating other people's privacy?" ”

"I've been watching Sherlock Holmes lately, and he's super cool! Smoking a pipe, spewing out thick smoke ~ thinking about the problem. ”

Jessica said, her eyes flashing with yearning.

Ivan was dumbfounded, thinking about Jessica's stupid... Are you sure it's detective material?

"Then you can wear something else, like blue." Ivan smiled.

"Huh? Why? ”

"Because you're not a black iron rider, you're a detective! It's time for a different color! ”

Ivan just casually made up a cool title for Jessica to coax her to play, but she didn't expect that because of this title, she wore black clothes every day.

"Wow~Wow~No! I still am! Jessica smiled and said, "When I grow up, I will be a detective on the surface, and I will be a black iron rider in secret!" How cool is that! ”

Meow's... Isn't that still a hero?

"Well... But I have to say, you'd better take a shield! ”

"Huh... Isn't it okay to have an umbrella? ”

"If you have an umbrella, ahem, you can do it later."

"Later?"

"Hmm... Now the technology is not very developed, I can't make the umbrella I imagined, or the shield is practical! Ivan said.

"(=゚ω゚) Hmph, if you always talk about shields, then I'll ... Obediently~! ”

After the two played the merry-go-round, they went on a roller coaster and a rowing boat.

It was an easy day.

...

A few days later, at noon, Ivan received a phone call from Jessica, who happily said that she had won a very important prize!

Ivan thinks that there is a prize for moving workers?

Well... Yes, the furniture is too light for Jessica to be effortless, she works a lot, maybe she was given a bonus by the company...

But that's not the case at all, she says her full name is 'Brave Hero', a medal with tangible benefits that is said to have saved her from some trouble.

The authorities awarded her a special award in recognition of her bravery in the face of monsters.

She said she was resting in the company's staff break room when a black man claiming to be from the military wanted to see her.

The black man, James Rhodes, called her brave and awarded her the Medal of Hero, which itself has certain privileges, such as that some actions will not be hindered by local law enforcement, and only need to be presented.

"And after that?" Ivan asked on the phone.

"He also asked me how my ability came about, and I said that I used to exercise regularly, and my strength has increased."

"Well, then what did he say?"

"Let me take care of myself, and said that I would contact him if I need help, and gave me contact information... And then it's time to go! ”

After listening to Jessica's narration, Ivan felt that the military still attached great importance to talents.

Although there is a meaning of co-optation, there is no mention of co-optation in half a sentence.

...

Orchards, open spaces.

In the past few days, Ivan has finished purchasing the shield materials.

Silicon, manganese, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, titanium, niobium, zirconium, cobalt, aluminum, copper, boron.

Ivan looked at the various alloying elements in front of him and knew it was time to make a move.

He was confident that he could blend these materials into a strong enough shield.

Admittedly, none of these materials are as good as the rare metal 'vibranium'.

But they are owned by themselves, they are not stolen, they are not robbed, they are bought openly with dollars.

It is undoubtedly a pleasure to process these low-grade materials into high-grade shields by yourself.

With his arms raised, a blue light flashed, and Ivan carefully controlled the psionic energy floating in the air...

All the elements come together! They are unbelievably psionically glued!

Ivan knows that if the cohesion is good, the toughness and hardness will be improved, and if the cohesion is poor, it will be weak.

He had to distribute the elements evenly and not overdo it.

The light grew stronger and stronger, and as time passed, the materials floated in the air... Gradually merge into a shield.

It's not a round shield, it's a tower shield!

With a 'bang', as the psionic energy dissipated, the tower shield fell heavily to the ground, and Ivan had another thought to float it up and make it spin in the air, and he observed every corner of the shield.

"Good, synthetic."

This tower shield is black in color, and was named by Ivan: the shield of hope.

But that's not the end of it, and Ivan decided to inject it with spirits!

If this shield is still an alloy steel shield refined from various elements, it is still in the normal category...

Then the shield after being instilled by Ivan can be said to be absolutely rare...

No... It is the absolute only shield.

Moreover, the effect of blunt objects after infusion is different from sharp objects, and the collision effect is a shock, not an explosion.

Before instilling the spirit, Ivan took out a pencil from the room, attached spiritual power to the tip of the pen, and then drew a pattern on the shield, to be precise, carved.

With the tip of the pen, a cute rabbit head is engraved on the front of the shield.

Then he began to inject, placing five fingers on the shield.

Blue light burst out from his fingertips, and the light was rapidly injected, gradually flowing throughout the shield.

Eventually, the pitch-black back of the tower shield was converted to azure blue, and the front was transformed into dark blue.

At this point, Ivan immediately stopped, and if he didn't stop again, he was afraid that there would be a crack like a bullseye's throwing knife.

The Shield of Hope carries about five times more psionic energy than the original throwing knife, which makes it more durable.

"Awesome!"

Angel's voice came from behind, and he clapped his hands as he shouted.

"What an eye-opener! Where did the shield come from? ”

He had just turned around from the front room, and he only saw the infusion part in the back.

Didn't see the fusion part in front.

"It's the metal fusion." Ivan said.

Angel nodded, at the age of 16, he has reached a height of 1.95 meters, strong like a cow.

But he still claims to himself: "I'm a superpower, not a martial artist." ”

However, in the past two years, he has continued to work hard, and his ability has indeed improved.

"This... For Jessica? Angel asked.

"Well, yes."

"Oh my God, it's very heavy to look at, you made Jessica such a big dick?"

"You know it's small for her, it's bigger, it's safer." Ivan said.

Angel nodded, rolled up her sleeves and asked eagerly, "Can I take it and try it?" ”

"Okay."
