Chapter 80 Checks and Balances
The cold weather still cannot stop the youthful enthusiasm of the students, and the campus is still full of hormonal atmosphere.
Peter sighed again and threw the locker full of love letters into the trash can to make room for his backpack.
"Wow, Peter, don't you take a look? If those little girls knew this, wouldn't they be very sad?" Fat Ned looked at the pile of things thrown into the trash can with envy and jealousy.
Love letters, I wish I could write them all to myself.
"They like Thor, and it has nothing to do with me." Peter said with a cold expression.
"You are the God of Thunder!" Ned didn't understand.
"Before I became the God of Thunder, they refused to even look at me. After I became the God of Thunder, they suddenly became interested in me. Love letters came one after another. What they liked was not me at all, but the God of Thunder.
It's just a title." Peter put away his things, took the textbook and walked to the classroom.
"You're wrong to say that, Peter. Before, there was nothing about you that attracted them. You were just a nerd. Why should they like you? But after becoming Thor, your charm has greatly increased, and it is normal for you to attract them." Ned said.
In front of Peter, walking backwards, trying to enlighten Peter.
"In other words, if I am no longer the God of Thunder, they will no longer pay attention to me?"
"Uh... Although it's not a nice thing to say, it's true. You can't let girls like a good-for-nothing boy."
"Have I been that bad before?" Peter asked with a frown.
"Well, it's not very bad. It's just that you lack self-confidence, and besides your grades, you don't have any bright spots. Your body is not strong enough, and your sports are average. You also like to stay at home and don't often participate in on-campus activities.
"
"..." Peter was speechless for a while.
"Of course, most ordinary people are like this. But you are different now. After practicing martial arts, you have become a muscular man. Even if you don't have superpowers, these muscles alone can make a lot of girls scream. The most important thing is
The thing is, you are very confident now. Confident men are the most attractive.”
Ned stretched out his hand and squeezed the muscles on Peter's arm enviously, "Peter, you are no longer an ordinary person. It is normal for girls to like you."
"No, I'm just an ordinary person." Peter was now very sensitive to the suggestion that he was not an ordinary person. He was a little scared and a little at a loss.
He is now very afraid of becoming the kind of person his master said he was.
Pushing Ned aside, Peter walked forward with a sullen face.
"Hey, Peter, I feel like you've been feeling down these past few days, and you and Gwen haven't even spoken to each other. Did you have a fight?" Ned asked gossiping.
Peter said nothing and walked forward with his head buried in the classroom. When he arrived in the classroom, he absentmindedly listened to the teacher teaching on the stage. Then he accidentally discovered that even if he was absent-minded, he could still remember everything the teacher said and even draw inferences from one instance to another with ease.
Digestion.
"Peter, admit it, when you embark on the road of the Martial God, you will eventually be insulated from the word 'ordinary people' and drift away." Master Zhan Liu's voice sounded in Peter's ears again, making his face darken.
Turned pale.
Peter's mind was full of random thoughts, and he finally stayed up until the end of get out of class. The teacher came to Peter and said to him: "Peter, the principal invites you to go to his office."
After thanking the teacher, Peter went to the principal's office with a heavy heart, knocked on the door and entered.
"Principal Colson, are you looking for me?"
Colson cordially invited Peter to sit down and poured him tea himself.
"Peter, Sharon successfully got started two days ago and has now become an official disciple of the Ultimate Infinite Sect. From now on, she will be your third junior sister."
Peter was stunned. He had been hiding at home like an ostrich these past few days. He had never been to the martial arts gym and was indifferent to what was going on there. He really didn't know the news.
"Is that so? Congratulations." He forced a smile.
Coulson pretended not to see his expression, but still warmly thanked him, and in his words, he had great hopes for Sharon Carter to get started and develop super powers.
Peter frowned more and more as he listened, and finally couldn't help but interrupt him and asked: "Principal, do you think Sharon will still be an ordinary person after she develops super powers? Will she still abide by the laws of ordinary people?"
Colson looked at Peter in surprise and asked doubtfully: "Of course, why do you have such a question?"
"Her martial arts skills are so high now that even guns and guns can't do anything to her. There is absolutely no need for her to act in accordance with the law. If she violates the law, who will punish her?"
"Oh, so you're worried about this, so there's no need to." Colson said with a smile, "This world needs checks and balances. Where there is light, there is darkness, and where there are super criminals, there are superheroes. If Sharon becomes a super
Criminals will naturally have other superheroes to punish her, such as Thor."
"Me?" Peter was stunned, but he didn't expect the topic to be brought to him, "I will punish Sharon?"
"That's right!" Colson smiled, "Aren't you willing to contribute to the peace of this world?"
"That's not true. However, the sect rules clearly stipulate that killing fellow sect members is prohibited. Moreover, I don't have the power to enforce the law. If I stop Sharon, would that be an illegal act, right?"
"Sect rules can't be greater than federal laws, right?" Colson said categorically.
That is to say, Nick didn't hear what Colson said, otherwise he would have come up and whipped him hard.
"As for the issue of law enforcement power, wouldn't it be good to join a law enforcement department? As long as you have the authorization of the law enforcement department, all your actions will be legal."
Peter suddenly realized that he thought of SHIELD, which had always had no sense of existence. Maybe he should contact SHIELD more.
Coulson continued with a smile: "Of course, in fact, the most important thing that limits the behavior of superheroes is the superhero's own sense of morality. Self-disciplined superpowers are superheroes, and those who cannot discipline themselves will sooner or later degenerate into superpowers."
criminal."
"Superpowers themselves are neither good nor evil, just like guns. Some people hold guns to protect others, while some people hold guns to rob and kill. The fundamental reason lies in the person's moral values. Good people will not kill.
other's."
"Just like you, Peter, I firmly believe that a good boy like you will not degenerate into a super criminal. Of course, even if you degenerate, there will be other superheroes to punish you, such as your master Zhan Liu."
Colson stared at Peter with burning eyes.
Hearing Coulson mention his master, Peter frowned slightly and asked hesitantly: "What if my master becomes a super criminal?"
Colson frowned and pondered for a long time before sighing:
"Then there may be no way, because we can't find anyone who can punish him at this stage. Maybe Tony, you, and Sharon together can play a certain role in checking and balancing him. With checks and balances, maybe he
You will be more self-disciplined and will not degenerate into super criminals."
"Checks and balances..." Peter played with the teacup in his hand thoughtfully and was speechless for a long time.
