038 Young people's imagination
Perhaps he was too stimulating. After that day, Ororo was as cold as if he wanted to draw a clear line with Eric. Qin's original personality had recovered her control over her body, and her eyes looked a little strange. The three of them seemed to be separated by a layer of yarn. It looked thinner, but it was so foggy that it couldn't see clearly. So Eric stopped provoking them and devoted all his energy to training young people.
On this day, after the training, they were given massage and regained their energy, and then everyone sat on the lawn to rest.
"Baby, what did your dad say to you on the phone?" John asked with interest.
After Baby confessed to his family through Miss Christine's interview, he had been trying to find an opportunity to contact his family, hoping to get the understanding of his parents. It seemed that he got what he wanted.
The friends began to congratulate him, but at the same time they couldn't help but feel sad. They didn't know whether this honest and reliable friend would leave the college and return to his home. Mary was particularly concerned about this.
Fortunately, Baby's words made them feel like they were in their stomachs.
"The situation is good, but it's different from what you think." Baby said with a smile. "My dad said he suddenly heard the news, but he was a little aware of it before, so it was not unacceptable. Except for Ronnie's place, they all hoped that I could go back."
"Then will you go back?" Katie asked, Mary next to her staring at Baby.
"No, I told them I'm going to stay here." Baby answered without hesitation, and Mary breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at Mary and said to his friends: "There are my friends here and the people who care about me. I feel like I'm at home. I think I will grow up, and I hope my parents will be proud of me one day."
Baby's tone was very firm, her young face was still childish, but she had a bit of mature temperament.
"Well said! Baby. I don't have to worry about you being a deserter." John jumped up from the ground and pointed at Eric who was cleaning up training equipment with Selena on the playground. "Look there, we have a wise captain who will lead us to ride the wind and waves, break through ordinary people's castles, and write our names into history books. Perhaps in a few decades, the history textbooks of primary school students will record the heroic deeds of John the Fire Man and his friends to save the people in a certain year, month and day."
Although Mr. John was exaggerating, his classmates didn't laugh at him. They watched Eric push himself, such a mutant whom he hates, to his current status. Now thousands of newspapers across the country report their stories every day, calling them new superheroes. Even if they don't go out, they can see themselves fighting against thugs and fighting against strange snakes on TV on TV.
Ordinary people think everything is a coincidence, but as the group closest to Eric, they still guessed something. From the appearance of the strange snake, everything was arranged by Eric. In addition to the shooting, its effect proves how correct the mentor's opinion is.
"He is right, our career is here." Pete nodded in agreement. He still remembered the thanks from the children after the shooting. This excitement was like a spark that activated the soul of the Steelerson. He decided to follow Eric and obtain his own honor.
"Boss, I can't wait to see when we will set off again." John's eyes were sharp-eyed, and when he saw Eric coming towards them, he immediately asked the instructor.
"Where do you go?" Eric asked.
"Of course, we are going into the vast world. Anyway, there are crimes everywhere in the city. We can rescue the victims like the last time we saved the children, and then the rescued will respect us like worshipping the gods. Isn't the problem of mutants solved?" The lively John always thinks things very simply.
Eric sat down and joined the young people's circle and asked casually: "What after that?"
"What after?"
"Then the police will complain that you have broken the original order. They cannot control the situation. The situation may be more chaotic than before, and they may be laid off. The perpetrator may have other reasons. Maybe it is a misunderstanding that happened to be encountered by you, but it was hurt by it. Even the rescued person may not be grateful. He may blame you. Why not come earlier so that he can lose less. And you didn't expect that you saved someone today, do you want to save tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? The crime is endless, and your energy is limited, and you will soon lose all your passion. Start dealing with the business, and finally end up in vain. You are still trapped in the academy and the crime outside continues."
Eric drew a circle in the air, returning from the beginning to the end: "Look, you have been busy for a long time and paid a lot, but finally returned to the beginning. What's the point?"
When the young people heard this, they felt like a bucket of cold water was poured down on their heads and immediately became wet.
"What should we do?" Baby asked cautiously. They were afraid of returning to their past lives. Such a living was meaningless.
"Good deeds should not be a burden. You must remember that not every effort will be rewarded. You should have a choice to appear when you really need you, and you will not be jealous of gratitude. To achieve this, we can work with ordinary people and become indispensable key figures in the right field, rather than exhausting time in trivial matters."
"for example?"
"For example, firefighting. Several firetrucks received a 911 report to a fire alarm. When they were rushing to the scene at lightning, they heard that you had done the matter in vain. What do you think they would think? Will they still go there? If they receive notifications in the future, they may encounter the same thing. If they don't go, they are afraid that the disaster will expand. At this time, dissatisfaction arises. They will think that you are doing this. At this time, we may create a group of mutant opponents with their own hands. So this method is not feasible. If we change our thinking, the firefighters came to the scene and found that the fire was too large, or some trapped people could not rescue according to the conventional methods. The situation was very critical. At this time, they asked for assistance, and you went over to get things done, so that the victims, firefighters and three parties could benefit from it. The victims were successfully rescued and the firefighters completed the task. We did not have to run around, but also gained the gratitude of the society, and no one would be dissatisfied with it."
The students suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.
Eric has something that he didn't say, that is, such things do not have complex interpersonal relationships, and rarely involve conflicts between other forces. They are just simple dangers. With the strength of students, they can be easily dealt with, and the public will not cause any concerns because of their abilities.
People often worry about whether the small-caliber pistols in the hands of policemen will be fired randomly and swept to them, but few people are afraid of the high-pressure water cannons in the hands of firefighters. When disasters occur, they even pray that the latter will be as powerful as possible, so as not to spread the disaster and burn their houses.
Of course, this is just a method to treat the symptoms. The mutant's ability is too outstanding, and there are always some forces who will take their ideas, so their plans cannot be stopped. They must continue to continue and persevere will get enough rewards.
When Erick was thinking about the future, his students had already spontaneously studied it according to his ideas. What should he do if he encountered a fire alarm?
"John, you can manipulate the flames, you suck out the fire outside, and Baby controls the power of ice and snow to offset the high temperature, so it will be solved quickly." Alison felt that putting out the fire was simple.
"Where are me?" Katie and Lorna were eager to try.
"You can rescue the trapped people and take them through the walls; Mary uses everyone's strength to treat people who are seriously burned; Pete has great strength to break obstacles; if he encounters someone stabbed by steel bars or something, Lorna will do it. I'm going to make a plan outside----that's not difficult." Alison said, feeling that he is really talented in this industry.
"Why do you do nothing, but you are like our boss?" John said dissatisfied.
"High temperatures are harmful to skin, I will become a big star in the future." Alison became intoxicated by himself, and immediately fell into the siege of his friends.
They were just a bunch of kids, and Eric looked at them and laughed.
"Boss, what else can we do, let's think about it for us." John said excitedly, wanting to find another way out, but Eric did not support him.
"That's enough." Eric didn't intend to get them involved too much in the outside affairs.
There are about one million buildings in New York, and 3,000 of them will catch fire every year. After living here for a while, many tourists have an impression of New York that is the police cars and fire trucks running around the streets with sirens. They are very impressed by the sound of sirens here at any time. They almost sound at any time and place. Sometimes they even sound a team of fire trucks together. Firefighters are also the most likely group to die. With such a large city nearby, young mutants already have enough space to show their skills. I should be worried whether they still have time to improve their abilities at that time.
Eric doesn't want his students to become free fire workers. They should be the high-end power of mutants, and there are many things they need to learn. He has to cool down the students' hot heads.
"You think too simple. Fires are not just high-temperature baking. Deficiency of oxygen, toxic gases and smoke will cause harm to the human body. Even the first cause of death for most people is not high-temperature baking or fire, but inhaling smoke and poisoning when running in panic. John's control is limited, the power of the firefighter's high-pressure water gun is no less than that of Baby, and Katie and Pete cannot break into the burning scene to save people, which will burn them. You also need to strengthen your strength, otherwise when facing disaster, your performance may not be as good as you imagined. Think about it, when people are waiting for you to play a decisive role with hope, you can only do some trivial work on the verge of disaster, then you will become jokes for the whole country and shame all mutants."
Eric's criticism made the young people lower their heads. They woke up as if they were dreaming. They still had a long way to go for a good life in the future.
