Chapter 8 Non-contact spontaneous combustion
"Thinking about what? Didn't he just bring a child? Is that kid still..."
The pink-haired man, known as Baker, said nothing further than this, as the white man raised his hand and gestured for him to stop speaking first.
"You've probably heard of the Kids, Townsend Harris High School." The white man said lightly.
"Oh, I've heard that." The other white man's subordinate nodded his head to indicate that he had heard of it.
"That super kid is a freshman, that is, about fourteen years old, and the kid who just followed Cullen looks like that age, combined with the fact that he dares to quit in front of me, what do you think of?" The white man stared coldly at Baker with his intact left eye.
"As the boss, that kid found that freak called the super boy as a helper!" It suddenly dawned on him that the name of the Super Boy was very loud in the neighborhood, and even people who were not from Townsend Harris High School had heard it more or less.
"My choice circumvented the possibility of our suffering, and now you still question my choice? I have been mixed for more than ten years, and I can be appreciated by the above as the head of your class, not because of anything else, but because this place is more enlightened than you. ”
The white man pointed to his head and said, "If you don't know how to judge the situation, you're going to suffer sooner or later, Baker." ”
"Head, you're just cowardly." Baker Road.
"Be ruthless when you should be ruthless, and you have to be cowardly when you should be cowardly!" The white man slammed the armrest of the wooden chair.
Baker raised his head and looked at the white man: "That super boy, not so godly, I heard someone in their school say, that is, he can float the match and bend the wire slowly with his mind, if you are afraid, I will find someone to beat him." ”
...
A week later.
Over the past week, Ivan has become friends with Karen, who is very happy, saying that it feels good to be free, and sending a bunch of snacks to Ivan's dorm room.
When Ivan asks what Cullen plans to do in the future, Cullen is a little dazed, and now he is living at home every day after leaving the gang, barely surviving on the little assets he has saved in the past.
So Ivan gave Karen an idea to plant something, and he said that he wanted to partner with Karen to start a farm, and he planted it in the yard of Karen's house.
It's not a whim, Ivan has tested, and his psionic abilities can make plants grow at superspeed.
On this day, after school, Ivan walked on his way to the gym.
As he walked, he thought back to the painting he had drawn in visual arts class today, painting was a way to improve his imagination, and Ivan believed that the volatilization of psionic energy was supported by his powerful imagination.
He chose Visual Arts in his curriculum because he wanted to exercise his imagination as much as possible.
As Ivan was walking and meditating, there was a cheer around him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Angel showing off his superpowers not far ahead, causing the girls to worship him.
"I'm not the best, Ellie." Angel asked a yellow-haired girl.
"Of course!"
"I dare say that if the school held a water rafting competition, I would be the water rafting champion." Angel said cheerfully that he had just made a nice splash in the roadside pond with pebbles.
Of course, it was assisted by superpowers.
"Sanny, I'm going to show you a new trick today." Angel took out a match, "Spontaneous combustion without contact, I can make this match burn without touching the matchbox!" ”
"Oh! Be sure to show me, dear! ”
The girls stopped, and Angel stood there, his expression solemn.
"Next, it will be the moment when a miracle is born, I will inject this match with my energy, you see, don't blink." Angel's hand trembled, and five seconds later, a puff of black smoke came out of the match...
Failed.
"Well, it's not my problem, you know, it's a problem with this match, it's damp." Angel finished speaking, and changed to another match.
This time, in about four seconds, the match was successfully lit.
"Ladies! I'm amazing! ”
"Of course, Angel is the best!"
"Hey! The short guy over there, you see, right? Am I amazing? Angel asked aloud to Ivan, who was not far away.
Ivan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Angel was talking to him.
Angel is more than a head taller than her peers in height and is typically fast-growing.
"Oh, awesome...", a perfunctory reply.
"Thanks for the compliment."
After Angel finished speaking, he turned around and chatted with the girls as they walked.
Can I do it? Contactless spontaneous combustion...
Ivan, who was walking behind, thought so, and subconsciously set his eyes on a big tree on the side of the road.
The tree started smoking... Worst!
The fire burst out, the whole tree burned in an instant, Ivan quickly stretched out a hand to try to stop it, the next second the wind was lifted, the flames were extinguished instantly, and only the somewhat bald trunk remained.
I only heard an exclamation, it turned out that the girls' skirts had just been lifted, and at the same time, the wind also made Angel, who was walking in front, excited.
"Did you do it, Angel?" asked one girl.
"Uh, I'm sorry, it's like... Yes, that's me, I just thought about blowing a gust of wind to cool everyone down, haha, I'm amazing. Angel scratched her head, confused as to how the wind came from.
"yes, it's amazing, it's just a little mean, I mean the skirt lifting."
"What? Flip skirts? Oh! No, you know that I just walked ahead of you, and I didn't look back at all! I didn't mean to. Angel hurriedly explained.
Just as Angel was explaining, three big men turned around the corner in front of him and blocked Angel's group, two of whom were black and one was yellow.
"Brown Fur, you're a super boy, aren't you?"
Two black men were armed with thick wooden rods tied to wire, and the yellow man at the head was holding a dagger.
Angel was stunned for a moment, realizing that the comer was not good.
"Yes, I am, do I know you?"
"You met our head a week ago, and I heard that you were very showy at that time, and you scared our head out of place when you stood there."
"Wait, I don't have any impression of you." Angel Road.
"That's nature, we were watching in another neighborhood, you haven't seen us before."
"I don't mean this, I mean..."
Before Angel could finish speaking, a wooden stick swung at him and slammed into Angel's cheekbone, causing Angel to take a few steps backwards and almost fall to the ground.
The girls exclaimed, all backing away, but they didn't run away immediately, because they knew Angel was a superpower, so they expected him to fight back.
"Ruth, did you keep your hand? How can you go down with a stick and even a little hairy child can't be defeated. The yellow man asked.
"If I kill him, his skull will crack if this stick goes down." Ruth, a black man.
"That's right." The yellow man said lightly, "It's better to keep some hands." ”
Angel stared at the three men in front of him viciously: "You know that, right? I'm a superpower. ”
"yes, aren't you a super boy?"
"So what? Sanction us with your superpowers? ”
The girl named Sanny yelled, "Angel! Come on! Use levitation to float them into the air and stun them! ”
Angel's fingertips trembled slightly, and only he understood the difference between man and match as a floating object.
