Chapter 58: The Captain Starts a Team Fight
As expected! A school without a Little Loli has no Soul. When will my Little Loli come back! Lan Xingyu, who couldn't sleep while lying on his desk, turned his head in distress. Troubled, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
So what's the use of being invincible:
What use do I have for this flame!
And what of this frost?
Still uneasy, still helpless.
Problems at hand, wanting to act but hesitating...
This mood ended during the afternoon classes; that's right, the Little Loli Gwen was back.
Gwen went to the hospital for a check-up this morning. The doctor found that Gwen's eyes had fully recovered. However, what puzzled the doctor was that Gwen's vision seemed to be getting better and better. How strange. Could the previous records have been wrong?
But no matter what! Little Loli Gwen was finally able to return to class.
This is great, the Little Loli is back. Now Lan Xingyu's waist doesn't ache, his legs don't hurt, and he wouldn't even die from jumping off a building... Uh... it seems he wouldn't have died from that anyway.
After school, Lan Xingyu said to Peter and Ned, "Tomorrow, Saturday, is my birthday. Are you coming?" Lan Xingyu invited them. This was his first time celebrating his birthday outside of Kamar-Taj, and Lan Xingyu wanted to invite all his friends.
"When Tony came today, he said he'd take us to an amusement park. I wanted to invite you guys along, and your parents can come too. The more the merrier." Lan Xingyu originally didn't want to go to an amusement park—kidding, I'm not a kid, staying home and gaming with Peter and the others would be better. But seeing the expectant look in Tony's eyes, he just couldn't refuse...
Then Lan Xingyu asked if he could bring more people along. Tony agreed without a moment's hesitation.
"Sure, sure! I've never been to an amusement park before. Is it okay if I bring Uncle Ben and the others?" Peter said excitedly.
"Yeah! No problem, the more people the better," Lan Xingyu said.
"Then I'll go back and talk to my parents too. By the way, Peter..." Ned called Peter away and said something.
"Great idea! Xingyu, Ned and I are heading out first. Are you picking us up tomorrow? Or are we meeting at the amusement park?" Peter asked.
"We'll go pick you up, but Ned, where do you live?"
"That's fine, come to my place first, I know where he lives. Bye Xingyu, Gwen, see you tomorrow!" Peter and Ned left in a hurry.
"So tomorrow is your birthday," Gwen said after Peter and the others left.
"Yup, it is. So, what gift is Gwen going to give me?" Lan Xingyu said cheekily.
"I'm not telling you! Hmph!" Gwen pouted cutely and turned her head away. Lan Xingyu was instantly struck by her cuteness.
After walking Gwen to her doorstep, Lan Xingyu stopped.
Seeing this, Gwen asked in confusion, "Xingyu, aren't you coming in?"
"No, I have other things to do these next few days, so I won't disturb you guys," Lan Xingyu said. He had already received a message from Tony. The three people Fury selected were ready. They hoped Lan Xingyu could make a trip to S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters soon.
"Alright then... Goodbye, Xingyu!" Gwen said with a hint of regret.
"Yeah! See you tomorrow. Remember to help me invite your parents," Lan Xingyu said, bidding the Little Loli farewell.
After saying goodbye to the Little Loli, Lan Xingyu found a random corner and turned into a Flash of light, heading towards S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
Arriving at the headquarters entrance, Lan Xingyu used the "Search" magic to find Nick's office.
"Little kid, this isn't a place for you to play. Leave quickly," a guard said, coming over to shoo Lan Xingyu away.
Uh... nothing for it. Lan Xingyu hadn't received his credentials yet. Just as he was feeling frustrated and considering whether to just Flash inside, a voice called out to him.
"Hi! Xingyu, you're here! Thank you for saving me last time." Indeed, the newcomer was our nice guy, Agent Coulson.
"Hello, Uncle Coulson! You came at just the right time. Hurry and take me inside." Seeing Coulson, Lan Xingyu felt relieved. With him there, everything would be fine.
"Sure. Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. Get in the car. Let me introduce you; this is Lola. I mentioned her to you last time," Coulson said with some pride.
"So this is Lola? Not bad, I actually quite like this retro style." To be honest, Lan Xingyu really did like this type of car. Perhaps it was because he saw similar cars in anti-Japanese dramas in his past life, so he had a soft spot for them.
After all, in Lan Xingyu's eyes, whether it was a sports car or any other car, they were all the same. None of them were as fast as him anyway.
Lan Xingyu got into Lola and entered S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters with Coulson. (If you're getting the wrong idea, go stand in the corner)
On the way to Fury's office, Coulson asked, "Lan Xingyu, are you here to be a coach?"
"Yup, that's right! How about it, Uncle Coulson? Do you want to join too? I can add you in," Lan Xingyu said.
Coulson was also one of the people whose fate he wanted to change. He was willing to teach him.
"Oh, sure! I happen to have a vacation after finishing this mission." Coulson was also very happy. Although he wasn't a combatant, who would mind becoming stronger? After all, besides Fury, he was probably the person in S.H.I.E.L.D. who understood best how powerful Lan Xingyu was.
Arriving at Fury's office, Lan Xingyu waited outside for a moment. After all, Coulson had to turn in his mission.
Before long, Coulson came out to call Lan Xingyu. Entering Fury's office, one had to admit that Fury in his office carried quite an Aura.
"So, should I call you Prophet or Flash, little kid?" Nick's single eye looked at Lan Xingyu, trying to put some pressure on him.
"Uh... whatever you want. But if you're going to put it that way, then I'll call you Braised Egg." Lan Xingyu wasn't flustered at all. Kidding, as a person at the level of a single Universe, how could he be threatened by you?
...MMP, who said this kid was cute? He's not cute at all.
Although he was grumbling about Lan Xingyu in his mind, his expression remained unchanged. He took out some items and said, "These are your documents. We've also arranged for the information confidentiality you requested later. Now, unless someone has contact with you, your information is Level 10 classified. How's that?"
"Yeah, very good. Thanks! So, where are my students?" Lan Xingyu said with satisfaction.
"Coulson, take our new coach to Secret Training Ground No. 12. And your vacation is approved," Nick said to Coulson.
"Yes, sir. Let's go, my little instructor. I'll take you to our classroom." With that, Coulson led Meteor Shower out.
"Is your director always like this? He's so righteous about hiring child labor?" Lan Xingyu asked.
Lan Xingyu originally liked Nick. After all, not everyone can set everything aside to think for the Earth. But that's no reason to try and intimidate me the moment we meet.
"Uh... our director is actually a pretty good person. You'll find out later." Coulson didn't know how to whitewash his director. He drove Lan Xingyu away from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Building.
"Aren't we inside S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Lan Xingyu asked.
"No, for the sake of secrecy, our training location is elsewhere," Coulson said.
Soon they arrived at the outskirts. Coulson took Lan Xingyu up a mountain and into a hidden cave.
Entering the cave, they found a whole different world inside. After winding around a bit, they used an ID card to open a door, revealing a vast training base.
It had all kinds of training equipment, and there were already three people inside.
The three of them were gathered together, seemingly chatting about something. A burly man was holding a notebook and recording something.
Coulson clapped his hands as he entered to get everyone's attention.
"Everyone, come over for a second. Our coach is here. Hi Natasha, long time no see. And you, Barton, didn't expect us to meet again so soon, did you?"
Then, seeing the Captain, he became a bit awkward and greeted him, "Hello, Captain. I'm Coulson, your super fan. Oh, by the way, could you help me with an autograph? Thank you." Coulson pulled out a card with Captain America on it from somewhere.
"See, I told you, Coulson would be thrilled to see you," a man with sharp eyes teased.
"Thank you, I'm honored." The Captain was very humble, taking Coulson's card and signing his name.
"And mine. But I just got this from a history book. Mostly because I didn't know you were also going to be my future student, Captain." At this moment, a child's voice rang out. All three of them looked over.
"It's you!" Natasha was surprised. The one Fury said could make them stronger was this kid who had caused her to fail before.
"Wait, you're our coach?" This time it was Hawkeye. He found it hard to believe.
"What does this mean?" The Captain also had questions.
"That's right, for the foreseeable future, you'll be training with me. But since you don't seem to believe it, let's have a friendly match first." Seeing everyone looking at him, Lan Xingyu said.
"Uh... you guys go ahead, I believe it. I'll wait for you." Coulson knew Lan Xingyu's strength and made an excuse to escape the fate of being beaten.
"No can do, you guys are a team now." Saying this, Lan Xingyu took out three bells and continued.
"As long as one of you can get these three bells, you win. If you win, I'll treat you to dinner at the most expensive restaurant. If you lose, you treat me." Then Lan Xingyu took out an alarm clock and appeared in the middle of the training field with a Flash.
"You have one hour. Good luck!"
At this moment, the pupils of the three who were still somewhat dismissive shrank instantly. They hadn't seen Lan Xingyu's movement just now.
"Don't just stand there. Don't worry, I won't use that speed to bully you." Lan Xingyu wanted to provoke them.
The three of them glanced at each other and stopped being negligent. They learned some information about Lan Xingyu from Coulson.
After learning about Lan Xingyu, all three were stunned. A person who could casually release the energy of a nuclear bomb—was he even human?
At this moment, the Captain was even more surprised. What exactly had happened during the seventy years he had been asleep?
This time, the three of them completely put away their contempt. After discussing for about ten minutes, they prepared to start a team fight to raid the boss.
