America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

“Liqun, you’re right.” Peter looked up at Liqun.

Peter himself was also studying his spider silk protein, but he lacked the resources to conduct in-depth research. Now, the materials sent by Dr. Banner have completely filled the gap in Peter's inability to conduct in-depth research.

“With this spider silk protein formula, my spider bodysuit can be renamed the Spider Combat Suit,” Peter said.

"The bodysuit I enhanced for you with magic can also be called a combat suit," Dr. Banner said.

Last night, Dr. Banner used magic to adjust the color scheme of Peter's spider bodysuit, enhanced its material, and even attached magical markings to it.

When Peter is active as Spider-Man in the Spider-Suit, the magic on the suit records his actions, much like a body camera. When Peter is in danger, the magical markings on the suit warn Dr. Banner, allowing Peter to receive timely support.

"You've all chosen your courses, right? Classes start next Tuesday. Is there anything more important to do in the meantime?" Dr. Banner asked.

"Nothing."

“Very good, Peter. Wade and Lillian will assist you and train you on how to be a good superhero,” Dr. Banner said.

“Uncle Ben is already teaching me,” Peter said.

"Your Uncle Ben can teach you theory, but Li Qun and Wade can teach you how to fight."

“Where?” Peter asked.

“We’d also like to see Peter train,” Gwen said, pulling Stephanie’s arm.

“We don’t train in reality, we train in another dimension.”

Cracks appeared in the glass of the space, and Dr. Banner took everyone in the apartment into a mirror dimension.

“To put it simply, we are in a world of mirrors,” Dr. Banner said, holding a pizza box in one hand.

“We’re still missing Wade,” Li Qun said.

“He’s already here, let’s go outside,” Dr. Banner said.

Wade, dressed in his Deadpool suit, stood on the street, fiddling with a knife in his hand. He threw the knife, nailing it to a wooden signboard of a shop, then pulled it out, repeating this over and over again.

"coming!"

"Where's my pizza?" Wade rushed over.

“Here it is.” Dr. Banner handed the pizza box to Wade.

“No wonder there are two portions.” Peter glanced at Li Qun again.

"We started planning this combat training a long time ago."

“When a criminal is shooting at you, you need to be aware of what’s behind you. We don’t like situations where you have nothing to protect.”

"Do I need to use my body to block bullets?" Peter asked.

“Peter, your body can take bullets without getting hurt. You’re just afraid your Spider-Man suit will get ripped.”

“Once the bodysuit is damaged, you’ll soon be running around naked, which is why I’m using magic to reinforce it,” Dr. Banner said.

“I have an idea. Peter, have you read the Wonder Woman comics? Wonder Woman has a pair of wristbands that she uses to stop bullets. Let’s add a protective plate to the back of her hands on the Spider-Man suit and use the back of her hands to stop bullets.”

“Don’t worry, blocking bullets is only a small part of combat training. You also need to learn to dodge all sorts of strange long-range weapons. Peter, you’ll need to learn to deal with as many attack methods as Wade knows,” Dr. Banner said.

"What about Li Qun?" Peter hadn't heard from Dr. Banner about the role Li Qun played in the training.

"Both Li Qun and Wade will play your enemy, but not forever."

“Developing teamwork skills is a very important part of this training,” Dr. Banner said.

“I understand, let’s begin,” Peter said solemnly.

Peter and Wade walked into the alley, and Li Qun played the role of a passerby who was robbed by Wade.

……

……

On the first night of training, Peter, Wade, and Li Qun were very engaged in "role-playing" games.

Surrounded by Dr. Banner, Gwen, and Stephanie, Peter was pointed out and criticized for many things.

Peter felt the weight of his responsibilities as a "superhero" more and more.

While stopping criminals, he also needs to be careful not to let property damage escalate, as cars and shops on the roadside are important property for other people.

There's also the issue of rescuing people.

For the latter part of the training session, Wade stood on the edge of a rooftop more than 30 meters high and elbowed the hardened ground of New York City downwards, while Peter had to save Wade from falling rapidly time and time again.

Wade used his immortality to repeatedly give Peter a chance to learn from his mistakes.

Wade made Peter realize that spider silk is extremely risky and that it cannot always be used to safely rescue someone.

Chapter 366 Heroic Spirit Reaches the Heavens

"Humanities and Literature, 3 credits."

"General Chemistry I and Experiments, 4 credits".

"University Physics II (Electromagnetism)," 3 credits.

"Introduction to Computer Science and Programming, 3 credits".

"Physical Education I (Swimming), 2 credits".

"Introduction to Philosophy, 3 credits."

"Linear Algebra, 4 credits."

“That’s a lot of credits,” Gwen said, looking at the form that Li Qun had written on the draft.

"The normal maximum number of credits per semester is 18, and I have already exceeded that."

"To qualify for a double degree, one must maintain an average GPA of 3.0 or higher each semester."

"I need to complete 142 credits to meet the requirements for a double degree, which means I can complete my undergraduate degree in just three years."

"High school AP scores exempt students from College Writing, earning three credits; Calculus I and II are worth six credits; and College Physics I is worth three credits. Passing the foreign language proficiency test also exempts students from four semesters of foreign language courses, adding another sixteen credits."

Li Qun was making notes on the draft paper.

Some of the knowledge taught in the courses was already familiar to everyone, including Peter. However, choosing university courses is like climbing stairs. The school requires students to complete the basic courses before they can choose the subsequent advanced courses. They have to climb up one step at a time.

After a passionate course selection yesterday afternoon, Liqun and Peter received a call from their academic advisor this morning, and the two went to the advisor's office again.

If they are only graduating with a single degree, Li Qun and Peter will need to modify their course selections from yesterday. However, if they choose the double degree program, they will only need to adjust their course selections, without having to delete any courses.

After talking with their academic advisors for nearly an hour, their names were added to the school's dual-degree program list.

Columbia University has nurtured many geniuses, and there are quite a few alumni who are passionate about learning, such as Li Qun and Peter.

After the academic advisor checked the two students' high school "historical achievements", it was not difficult to get them into the school's training list. The only concerns were tuition fees and maintaining a consistently high GPA.

If the requirements are not met, it is very easy to have your dual degree qualification revoked.

In front of her academic advisor, Li Qun pulled out a table that fully presented her academic plan for graduating with a double degree in three years.

The AP courses at Liqun High School can be converted into 25 credits, and the three regular semesters can yield 92 credits. The summer semesters in the two years can supplement 18 credits, and the graduation thesis and independent research can add another 15 credits, for a total of 150 credits, which exceeds the graduation requirement of 142 credits.

"Don't you two feel a lot of pressure?" Gwen asked.

At that moment, they were in the Butler Library, the four of them whispering to each other in a corner.

Mencius said, “When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body, leave him destitute, and thwart his actions, so as to strengthen his resolve and increase his abilities.”

"When Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon a person, it will first cause him inner suffering, physical exhaustion, hunger, poverty, and setbacks in his endeavors. This is to encourage his will, strengthen his character, and develop talents he did not previously possess."

Li Qun spoke fluently, leaving Gwen, who was learning Chinese on her own, completely bewildered.

"Mencius was a philosopher from China 2,300 years ago, do you understand what I mean?" Li Qun asked.

“It seems you’ll have a very easy time with your Introduction to Philosophy course,” Gwen said.

“Western philosophy is very different from Eastern philosophy,” Li Qun said.

"What is the relationship between Mencius and Confucius?" Peter asked, while he was also holding a form.

“Mencius inherited and continued the ideas of Confucius; he lived a hundred years after Confucius’s death,” Li Qun replied.

……

……

"Ding dong~!"

The doorbell rang.

"Who?"

“It’s me, Blake.”

John Wick opened the door, and Chief Black stood in the doorway, this time wearing a white turtleneck sweater.

"Come in."

Director Black went inside and sat down in the living room.

Every time Chief Black visited, he came with work to do.

Helen served Director Black hot tea, while Stuart tilted his head and observed Director Black.

Chief Black opened his briefcase and handed John Wick the documents he had prepared in advance.

“What do you mean?” John Wick frowned.

The document records Bruce Banner's most recent whereabouts.

“I’d like you to help me find out about these kids’ relationship with Bruce Banner, how they met him, and what Betty Ross talked to them about,” Chief Black said.

“Can I call and ask?” John Wick asked.

"I'm afraid that won't work; there's a risk of information leaks over the phone," Director Blake said.

“How long will it take me to get back to you?” John Wick asked.

"Before the start of the school term, that is, before September 3rd," Director Black said.

"no problem."

Chief Black finished his tea, got up, and left John's house.
