Gwen looked at Hannah's cute and quiet face under her red-framed glasses, quietly moved closer to Merlin, touched him with her shoulder, and asked teasingly, "So you like quiet girls. I thought your brain was full of gasoline gears."
"If you didn't stand me up so often, I would still like you." Merlin patted her back heavily, and then smiled at Hannah as if nothing had happened.
Gwen bared her teeth and stretched out her hand, wanting to retaliate, but after thinking about her current unfamiliar strength, she decided not to.
Just as she was about to retaliate verbally, there was a sudden commotion at the Science and Technology Exhibition Center.
"Looks like some amazing exhibits have appeared." Merlin moved towards the source of the commotion along with the crowd.
However, when they got closer, they found that a sturdy student with a crew cut was bullying a thin student with a backpack. There were also two black and white men with crew cuts standing nearby, watching the scene with mockery on their faces.
"That guy Fleischer is bullying people again." Gwen frowned when she saw the scene of the commotion.
"Okay, it's not an exhibit...it looks like Peter?" Merlin suddenly said as he looked at his classmate who was struggling on the ground.
Gwen looked over immediately after hearing that. Seeing that it was really her friend, she was immediately shocked and was about to take action.
But Merlin spoke before her.
"Fleischer, let Peter go. This is the science and technology exhibition center, not your football field!" As he said that, he took out a strange pistol from his waist and pointed it at them.
The action of pulling out a gun startled the students around, but when they saw the pistol that the other party pulled out looked like a toy model, they immediately showed expressions of old people, subways, and mobile phones.
Fleischer also subconsciously stretched out his hand and stepped back a few steps, but when he saw Merlin holding a toy pistol wrapped with spring coils, he couldn't help but sneer.
Gwen, who was standing next to him, was also stunned when she saw the pistol in the other person's hand. The pistol was blue all over and seemed to be made of plastic. The front part was not a traditional boring hole, but a circle of yellow spring coils, which looked more like a radio wave emitter.
The combination of blue and yellow, coupled with its weird appearance, makes it look like an ordinary toy gun.
But soon, she, who often stayed at home, recognized the pistol in front of her. It seemed to be the weapon in the game that was recently popular all over the country. She remembered it very clearly, and it was in online mode.
Well, this time it really is a toy gun.
Gwen was poised, ready to strike at any moment.
"You want to try it?" Merlin's face was calm, as if he didn't feel the strange looks around him.
Looking at the other person's confident expression, Fleischer became a little undecided.
Merlin had a low presence in school and had always been the target of bullying. However, in a fight before the holiday, the other party suddenly took out a wrench and taught the bully a lesson. Since then, not many people are willing to mess with him.
Later, some students found out that the other party worked in a car modification shop and carried some wrenches, hammers and other things with him.
"Shit! You freak, you think a toy gun can scare us? Do you think we are idiots?" A violent voice suddenly came to Fleischer's ears, and then his black companion with a buzz cut rushed out with an angry face.
He subconsciously wanted to stop it, but he thought it would be helpful to have someone to help test it out.
"This gun is still under development. I hope you are okay." Looking at the black man getting closer and closer, Merlin pulled the trigger.
The black man, Tenard, stretched out his hand with a ferocious look on his face to grab the gun in the other person's hand, wanting to snatch it away, throw it to the ground and smash it, and then teach him a lesson.
But just as his palm was about to touch the toy gun, a strange wave suddenly popped out, followed by an unparalleled force that hit him.
"boom!"
"Zizi..." The atomic wave bounced out, exploding an arc of electricity in the void. Tenad, who had just walked over, was thrown out in an instant like a rag bag, and hit Fleisher and the other person behind him.
Under the huge impact force, the three of them fell out of the encirclement.
"Bang!" A series of sounds of people falling to the ground rang out in the silent exhibition hall. The students watching around all seemed to be frozen, their mouths wide open in shock, as if they had not yet recovered from what had just happened.
"What happened? What happened?" At this time, the exhibition teacher walked in through the crowd. When he saw Fleisher and the other two lying on the ground groaning in pain, he couldn't help but frowned.
Soon, his eyes were on Merlin.
"Did you do it?" He really couldn't imagine how the other party threw the three strong men away.
Merlin nodded and was about to explain when a middle-aged man in a suit suddenly came to him excitedly.
"Hey, kid, can you let me see the...gun in your hand?" Looking at the atomic gun that had almost nothing to do with a gun except the handle, he hesitated.
"Who are you?" Merlin looked at him in confusion.
"Oh, I'm Myrren Otero, a technical agent from the R&D department of Stark Industries. This is my business card." Myrren realized that he was a bit abrupt, and quickly took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.
Merlin took the business card and looked at it. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded, "Okay, but this is still a semi-finished product. Try not to touch the coil and trigger."
He handed over the atomic gun in his hand.
Since they are participating in the college science and technology exhibition this time, they definitely want to attract the attention of many military technology companies, so they are not hiding anything.
"Thank you!" Mirren thanked politely, and then excitedly took the atomic gun.
The teacher, who originally wanted to ask about the cause of the incident, slowed down and asked the students at the scene about the situation.
"Are you okay?" While Mirren was observing the atomic gun, Merlin pulled Peter up from the ground.
Because Merlin and Gwen were neighbors with Stacy's family, they had been friends since childhood. At school, it was through Gwen that he met Peter.
However, in recent times, Peter often chases Spider-Man with a camera, and Merlin has been working on games and technology since he crossed over.
As for Gwen, if nothing unexpected happens, she is the Spider-Man who has been making a lot of noise in the Big Apple recently.
Peter stood up and nervously opened his backpack to check. After making sure there was nothing wrong, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you! I'm fine."
"Peter, next time you encounter this kind of thing, fight back, otherwise they will just keep bullying you." Gwen said, but she felt helpless when she saw her weak friend in front of her.
"Find some time to learn some fighting skills. If you need, I can send my coach to you."
Before taking revenge, Merlin found a retired military coach and learned both fighting and firearms from him for a while.
