26 Somewhat Changed College Life
===========
May and Daisy practiced for two hours, and May gave her a "pass" label for her learning ability. After that, Mei left without mentioning future weekly sessions or giving her any secret books full of training techniques.
Agent May's arrival was abrupt, and her departure was strange as if it were a chance encounter. It seemed as though she just gave a few pointers because she found Daisy pleasing to the eye.
Without a doubt, Daisy was convinced that this was the braised egg's doing. Otherwise, was it because she was of Chinese descent and looked pleasing to the eye? The S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy also had many Chinese students. Do you think a senior agent is full enough to practice martial arts with her?
While the cafeteria was still open, Daisy grabbed two more pizzas before returning to her room.
It was already evening, and if this were a city, eight or nine o'clock would be the time for a carnival. Although the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy didn't enforce military-like management, most people were already in their rooms resting at this time.
After filling herself up, Daisy took a hot shower and went straight to bed.
In the following days, she gradually adapted to life here, and her relationship with Sharon Carter gradually warmed up. They both felt that the other was there to monitor them, so to make the big bosses behind each other comfortable, they deliberately catered to each other and developed a somewhat open communication.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy had no opening ceremony; learning started as soon as one arrived. However, the teachers followed their own schedules and didn't let anyone affect their pace.
Didn't catch what was said earlier? Don't understand? Sorry, figure it out on your own!
Daisy found studying here quite challenging. Most people who came to study already had college degrees, and she, a high school dropout, felt a lot of pressure from them.
Fortunately, she had some foundation from her previous life, and with a slight enhancement of her intelligence by the Terrigen crystal, she could at least grasp some of the knowledge in class.
As she got to know Sharon better, Daisy realized that despite Sharon's proud claims of mastering everything, she was actually quite bragging.
At least for many questions Daisy asked, Sharon seemed clueless.
"I saw you nodding in class all the time; I thought you understood!" Daisy looked at her 'good friend, good sister' with a frustrated expression.
Sharon Carter felt a bit awkward, scratching her blonde hair. "Quantum mechanics...that thing is not very useful. I haven't studied it much, so, sorry..."
She couldn't understand why someone like Daisy, who seemed like a wild beauty, would be studying quantum mechanics. Wasn't that something for old men and old ladies liked to research?
Enhanced intelligence still helped Daisy a bit. Even if she didn't fully understand many theoretical concepts, she could forcefully memorize them and combine them with her own abilities in her room, searching for similarities among them.
The modification of the pistol was also put on the agenda. Daisy directly signed and swiped her card at the logistics department to get a Chiappa Rhino revolver.
She entrusted the modification task to another familiar stranger, Leo Fitz, who was currently a new student, but belonging to the Academy of Sciences.
At this moment, Fitz seemed a bit awkward. When Daisy approached, this curly-haired young man was tinkering with some machinery. Hearing her purpose, Fitz curiously glanced at her.
"This kind of weapon has poor practical effectiveness and is not suitable for women. It has issues with recoil, ammunition capacity, and a higher likelihood of firearm malfunctions. You should consider switching to a smaller caliber weapon?" When it came to weapons and engineering machinery, the young man's eyes sparkled, and his tone was already carrying a hint of authority.
Daisy had long expected this and fabricated a story about being taught by a master since childhood and practicing a set of breathing exercises. The conclusion of the story was that her wrist strength was naturally powerful, and she had no issues with this gun.
"Oh, I see..." Fitz didn't really want to take on this modification task, but he didn't know how to refuse. He could only silently take the pistol from Daisy.
Daisy took out a tablet computer. She had specifically drawn an outline schematic, copying the appearance of the Rhino Revolver from Harley Quinn's "Love and Hate," with a white handle and a black gun body. On the left side of the cylinder was the Latin word "Love," and on the right side was "Hate." However, she didn't need to load two types of bullets and engraved letters, which were mostly for style.
Entrusting the firearm to Fitz, Daisy continued to immerse herself in her heavy studies.
...
One month later.
"Hurry up, let's go to the tactical demonstration classroom. I heard a famous new student arrived today." On this day, Daisy was immersed in studying wave function analysis and applications when Sharon pulled her out of the library.
"Who is more famous than you?" Daisy asked.
Sharon chuckled self-deprecatingly and avoided the question.
Entering the classroom and seeing the woman in the middle of the crowd, Daisy was a bit dumbfounded. Maria Hill, wasn't she Nick Fury's deputy, now are you coming here to train yourself? Why was she attending classes too?
Hill was wearing the same style of combat uniform as them, with a single ponytail, and light blue eyes, and was attentively listening to the teacher's lecture.
Her demeanor wasn't that of an ice queen; on the contrary, she could engage in a polite conversation with anyone. However, there was a faint sense of detachment that was a bit daunting.
Daisy and Sharon whispered to each other in a corner.
"Do you know her?" Sharon asked.
After studying for over a month, it would be inappropriate to pretend to be a newbie. Daisy nodded, "It's Maria Hill, right? Wasn't she the director's deputy?."
Sharon, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes, said, "Maybe she got dismissed."
Daisy didn't think so. In her memory, Hill had been the deputy director for a long time and had been a deputy director and executive director for a long time.
There had been many interactions between the two in a certain space-time. At that time, Daisy was the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it was Hill who took over her leadership position after she had been suspended for the assassination of the chairman of A.I.M..
Even though Fury promoted and valued Hill, she didn't completely follow his orders. In any case, she was a strong, decisive woman with her own opinions.
The entrance of Maria Hill into the academy became a diversion in their daily heavy school work. Personnel changes at the higher levels were irrelevant to the people like them who were just eating melons; they only cared about the present.
Daisy was similarly unaffected; Hill's situation was quickly pushed to the back of her mind. Even if Nick Fury appointed Tony Stark as his deputy, she wouldn't care. She turned her attention back to studying various physics works.
However, on the third day of Hill's arrival at the academy, Daisy completely lost her composure.
Phil Coulson, who looked like a good old man, joined the academy as a teacher. The pretext was to teach combat experience, but Daisy felt he was more like conducting a patriotic education, incessantly chattering about the historical significance of S.H.I.E.L.D. and its glorious deeds...
What 'We are the shield that separates the real world from the unknown.'
What 'Passed on from generation after generation, until today.'
What 'Protecting and preserving the truth, and providing ordinary people with a healthy and peaceful living environment.'
Phil Coulson spoke passionately, and one could see that these were his genuine thoughts.
