Chapter 80: Checks and Balances
The cold weather still can't stop the youthful enthusiasm of the students, and the campus is still full of hormones.
Peter sighed again and threw the locker full of love letters into the trash to make room for his backpack.
"Wow, Peter, don't you look at it too? Wouldn't it be very sad if that group of little girls knew about this? Fat man Ned looked at the pile of love letters thrown into the trash with envious and jealous eyes, wishing that they were all written for himself.
"They like Thor, and it has nothing to do with me." Peter said with a cold expression.
"You're Thor!" Ned didn't understand.
"Before I became Thor, they wouldn't look at me, and after I became Thor, they suddenly became interested in me, and love letters one after another. They don't like me at all, it's just the title of Thor. Peter put his things away and walked to the classroom with his textbook.
"You're not right, Peter. Before you, there was nothing that attracted them at all, you were a nerd, why did they like you? But after becoming Thor, your charm increases dramatically, and it's normal to attract them. Ned was ahead of Peter, walking backwards, trying to enlighten Peter.
"So if I'm no longer Thor, they won't bother with me anymore?"
"Uh...... It's not a good thing to say, but it's true. You can't make girls like a guy who is good for nothing. ”
"Was I that bad before?" Peter asked with a frown.
"Well, it's not very bad, it's just that some of them lack self-confidence and don't have any bright spots other than their results. You're not fit enough, you don't exercise well, and you like to stay at home and don't participate in school activities often. ”
"......," Peter was speechless.
"Of course, most ordinary people do. But you're different now, after you practiced martial arts, you've become a muscular man. Even if you don't have superpowers, this muscle alone can cause a large number of girls to scream. Most importantly, you are now very confident. Confident men are the most attractive. ”
Ned enviously reached out and pinched the muscle mass on Peter's arm, "Peter, you are not an ordinary person now, it is normal for girls to like you." ”
"No, I'm just a normal person." Peter was now very sensitive, a little frightened, and a little overwhelmed by the idea that he was not an ordinary person.
He was now very scared to become the kind of person his master said he was.
Pushing Ned away, Peter walked forward with a gloomy face.
"Hey, Peter, I feel like you've been feeling a little lost these days, and you and Gwen haven't even spoken to each other. Did you quarrel? Ned asked gossipingly.
Peter did not speak, but walked forward, and when he reached the classroom, he listened absentmindedly to the teacher's lecture on the stage. Then he inadvertently discovered that even if he was absent-minded, he could still memorize everything the teacher said, and even draw inferences from others and digest it easily.
"Peter, admit it, when you embark on the path of the Martial God, you will eventually be insulated from the word 'ordinary people' and drift away." Master Zhan Liu's voice rang in Peter's ears again, making his face even paler.
Peter's mind was full of cranky thoughts, and he finally managed to stay up until the end of class, when the teacher came to Peter and said to him, "Peter, the headmaster has asked you to come to his office." ”
After thanking the teacher, Peter went to the principal's office and knocked on the door to enter.
"Principal Coulson, are you looking for me?"
Coulson affectionately invited Peter to sit down and poured him tea himself.
"Peter, Sharon successfully entered the school two days ago, and now she has become an official disciple of the Ultimate Immeasurable Sect, and she will be your third senior sister in the future."
Peter was stunned, he was like an ostrich these days, he shrunk himself at home, he never went to the martial arts hall, and he didn't care about the affairs of the martial arts hall, and he really didn't know the news.
"Is that so? That's a big deal. He forced a smile.
Coulson pretended not to see his expression, but still thanked him warmly, and in his words, he had great hopes that Sharon Carter would be able to get started and practice superpowers.
The more Peter listened, the more frowning he became, and finally couldn't help but interrupt him and asked, "Headmaster, do you think Sharon is still an ordinary person after practicing superpowers?" Will she still obey the laws of ordinary people? ”
Coulson looked at Peter in surprise and asked suspiciously, "Of course, why do you have such doubts?" ”
"Her martial arts are so high now, she can't do anything with guns, and she doesn't need to act according to the law anymore. If she broke the law, who would sanction her? ”
"Oh, so you're worried about this, so you don't have to." Coulson said with a smile, "This world needs checks and balances, there is light and darkness, and there are supercriminals and superheroes." If Sharon becomes a supercriminal, there will naturally be other superheroes to sanction her, such as Thor. ”
"Me?" Peter was stunned, but he didn't expect the topic to be led to himself, "It's up to me to sanction Sharon?" ”
"That's right!" Coulson smiled, "Wouldn't you want to contribute to the peace of this world?" ”
"That's not true, but in the door rules, it is clearly stated that it is forbidden to kill each other. Also, I don't have the power to enforce the law. If I go to stop Sharon, it's also a violation of the law, right? ”
"The rules can't be bigger than the federal laws, right?" Coulson is unequivocal.
That is, Nick didn't hear Coulson's words, otherwise he would have to come up and beat him hard.
"As for the issue of law enforcement powers, wouldn't it be nice to join a law enforcement agency? As long as you have the authorization of law enforcement, everything you do is legal. ”
Peter suddenly realized that he remembered S.H.I.E.L.D., which had never existed, and perhaps he should have more contact with S.H.I.E.L.D.
Coulson smiled and continued: "Of course, in fact, the most important thing that restricts the behavior of superheroes is the superhero's own sense of morality. Self-disciplined superpowers are superheroes, and superpowers who can't self-discipline will sooner or later degenerate into supercriminals. ”
"Superpowers themselves don't matter whether they are good or evil, just like guns, some people hold guns to protect others, and some people hold guns to rob and kill. The root cause lies in the person's morality, and a good person will not kill others. ”
"Just like you, Peter, I am very confident that a good boy like you will not degenerate into a supercriminal. Of course, even if you fall, there are other superheroes who will sanction you, such as your master Zhan Liu. Coulson stared at Peter with burning eyes.
Hearing Coulson mention his master, Peter frowned slightly and asked hesitantly, "Then what if my master becomes a super criminal?" ”
Coulson frowned and groaned for a long time before sighing:
"Then there may be no way, because there is no one who can sanction him at this stage. Maybe Tony, you, and Sharon together may have a certain counterbalance to him. With checks and balances, perhaps he will be more self-disciplined and will not degenerate into a supercriminal. ”
"Checks and balances...... Peter played thoughtfully with the teacup in his hand, and was speechless for a long time.
