"I hate this place!"
Pietro tugged at his collar with some annoyance, his face filled with frustration.
Today was the first day of the new semester. After spending two weeks of unrestrained joy, like wild dogs let loose, he and Wanda were sent by Li Qingyuan to the community school to begin 5th Grade.
Pietro had gone on a hunger strike at home for several days in protest. He didn't like going to school. Back in Sokovia, he would always sneak out to play. Now, finally in a new environment, he still had to go to school. This really made him feel the world's ill will.
But his hunger strike had no effect whatsoever, because Li Qingyuan didn't even notice!
He was busy every day practicing coordination and thinking about future plans. If he had any free time, he'd also work on improving Wanda's favorability. Who had the leisure to care whether Pietro was on a hunger strike?
Besides, even if he did find out, he probably wouldn't care!
What to do if a child doesn't eat?
Most likely, they're just bored. A beating will do the trick!
As a staunch Chinese parent (in waiting), Li Qingyuan firmly believed in the saying, "Spare the rod, spoil the child." After all, that's how he was raised.
As for whether there's any reliable scientific basis for this?
Didn't he live to be this old without any major illnesses? That's the most effective scientific basis there is!
"Stop talking nonsense. If you dare skip class, I'll break your legs!" Li Qingyuan said fiercely.
He was in a bad mood right now! Did Pietro dare to whine? Did he think he wouldn't get a beating?
Today, he had brought Wanda to school, which put him in a very bad mood.
According to his original plan, someone as terrifying and dangerous as the Scarlet Witch definitely needed his close supervision, and he must ensure she never left his sight.
After all, according to the original story, Wanda in a berserk state was an extremely dangerous existence, often causing problems that endangered the world when her energy went out of control.
Although the current Wanda was just a cute, soft, ten-year-old...
No, an eleven-year-old lolita. But who knew when the power within her would erupt?
In the movies, Wanda gained superpowers because of the Mind Stone's guidance. However, judging by the Scarlet Witch's later displays of power, it didn't seem like it could be explained simply by the Mind Stone's guidance.
It was like Captain Marvel, who was blasted by the Space Stone and gained the strength to solo Thanos. It was simply too much!
You have to know that Thanos controlled several Infinity Stones, and was even a long-term holder of the Mind Stone.
Yet he was beaten up by two women who had only just become powerful, it was simply looking down on me, Purple Potato Thanos!
It's just that, as they say, Marvel's greatest flaw is its inconsistent settings. No matter how unbelievable things get, it's not surprising. If you get hung up on these little things, you won't get anything done.
Wanda, after a month of rest and recuperation, is now even more radiant, much prettier than when she was in Sokovia.
After all, she's been eating well, sleeping well, and having fun these past few weeks. The material conditions in New York are far superior to those in Sokovia. Not to mention, Li Qingyuan has been replenishing Wanda's nutrition without considering the cost, causing her to develop rapidly during this time.
It made a certain someone have to silently recite the Diamond Sutra every night just to suppress the evil thoughts in his heart.
Now, having to send such a tender little cabbage to school, honestly, he was somewhat reluctant.
Everyone knows that middle and high schools in America are a mess!
Teenagers falling in love at school is commonplace. Although Wanda shouldn't be a cause for concern, it's hard to guarantee that other wild boars won't have any ideas!
But, letting Wanda and Pietro drop out of school is also impossible.
Not to mention the bored Vigilantes in the American neighborhoods who would register and investigate all eligible children in every household, just from Wanda's own perspective, doing so is also undesirable.
He couldn't just keep her locked up at home, could he?
He wasn't some kind of weirdo!
So after much consideration, Li Qingyuan could only suppress the grief in his heart and get Wanda and Pietro enrolled.
"Sir, using violence against children is wrong!" A well-meaning person nearby immediately admonished upon hearing Li Qingyuan threaten to break Pietro's legs.
Today was the first day of school, and many parents were sending their children to study. Li Qingyuan, a Chinese man, bringing two blond-haired, blue-eyed children to register naturally attracted a lot of attention. Many people also started speculating about the relationship between the three of them.
After all, the ages of the three of them looked really strange. Saying they were father and children was absolutely impossible, but siblings?
This family's bloodline was way too mixed!
"Just kidding, how could I hit him!" Li Qingyuan reached out and pressed down on Pietro's head, saying with a smile.
Pietro's eyes lit up at this. He'd heard that the United States had strict rules about domestic violence. Maybe he wouldn't get beaten even if he skipped school?
"You try skipping class, and see what happens, kid!" But before he could even celebrate, a voice echoed in his ear.
Pietro turned his head and saw someone's ferocious face receding from his view.
Feeling the pressure on his neck, Pietro quickly nodded frantically.
"I will study hard!"
"Good!" Seeing that the kid had finally learned his lesson, Li Qingyuan smiled and leaned in close to his ear.
"Keep an eye on Wanda, and report anything suspicious to me immediately!"
Gulp!
Pietro swallowed hard, then looked at someone with a look of disdain.
"So that's why you forced me to come to school, huh?"
But after the crazy attempts to test the waters just now, Pietro knew that if he dared to say that out loud, at most his legs would be broken.
So he could only nod sheepishly, muttering in his heart that he was being oppressed!
By the way, Pietro also made a plan for himself: he must find an opportunity to badmouth this someone in front of Wanda, and make that damn guy's calculations fail.
After lecturing Pietro, Li Qingyuan then gave Wanda a long lecture, looking worried, just like those old fathers sending their daughters to school.
Seeing the two children enter the school, he left the campus.
It has been more than ten days since he last met Ward, and it was time to continue his upgrade mission.
It's already 2008, and Iron Man could appear at any moment. The Earth is about to enter the age of the superhero boom. If Li Qingyuan doesn't level up, he probably won't even be considered cannon fodder later on!
