American Comics: The Law of Strength

Chapter 122: A Friend

In June, the campus was mostly quiet, after all, the weather was hot, and it was the summer vacation, and few people except for students who participated in activities and tutoring for nearly three months would stay in school at this time, but today the silence of the school has been completely broken.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! Bang! "

With the sound of drums, a stormy performance began, obviously a clear female voice, but at this time it was roaring loudly like a vent of anger.

"Rush! Tiger! "

The sound waves stirred in the small practice room, but no matter how thorough the soundproofing was, such a small room could not shut down the thunderous rhythm.

The heavy bass that can be conveyed even through the square makes the remaining pedestrians on campus stop and watch, and some of them are even familiar with the instrument.

The deep sounds and vibrations of the bass and drum kit seem to sneak from the ground, and even if you cover your ears, the note will follow the soles of your feet all the way up, conveying your rhythm to anyone who steps on the ground.

The swaying vibration, and the echo that reaches the depths of the heart.

However, most students just smiled heartily, and had no intention of looking for the source of the sound and spying on the identity of the performer.

After all, they all knew that music like this, such a rhythm, only one band in the entire school could play.

Mary Janes.

However, no one planned to go to the practice room to listen to the performances, because they knew that the band was preparing for the concert at the beginning of the school year, and they did not want to disturb the band's practice, but they were looking forward to the day when they would hold the concert.

However, there is one person who is an exception, Miles Warren is holding a few textbooks at this time to stop and look in the direction of the recital room, a few tutoring students greeted the professor with some surprise, after all, the professor has a gray beard and hair, and usually he is not smiling seriously, it is really difficult to imagine that he would be interested in such an intense and "rebellious" music.

However, the students' greetings did not get the slightest response, the professor was staring at the practice room as if intoxicated, and several students were not dissatisfied at all, but showed a little smile, after all, it was very exciting to find that the professor who was originally thought to be very old-fashioned actually had the same hobbies as his own students, and they did not bother the professor anymore, and left the school on their own after finishing tutoring.

But Miles Warren did not intend to stop there, he looked around, found that no one paid attention to him, and carefully went to the practice room, his body has an agility that people his age do not have, and he even jumped directly to the roof more than two meters high.

His heart beat at the thought of his beloved playing Miles Warren less than five meters below his feet, and he carefully opened the corner of the skylight, trying to get closer to her.

The moment the skylight is opened, the sound and light rush outward.

The trail of the dancing searchlight leaps around, and the glass ball hanging above reflects countless lights messily and scatters everywhere.

In the middle of this eddy of light, they stood.

A bass that is as hungry as a thirst for and engraved notes.

A drum kit that jumps and falls to claim its existence.

As if restraining a random and self-motivated rhythmic group, the correct strings dominate the entire guitar of the piece.

The appearance of a few girls focusing on playing is heartwarming, and the rhythmic performance makes people want to dance to the beat, but all this is not important in the eyes of Miles Warren, who always sees only the blonde girl dancing violently at the end of the band.

At this time, the band's performance suddenly appeared discordant, Gwen's drum kit accelerated like a defiant, and Mary Jane's guitar then plucked the strings as if receiving a challenge.

But just before the performance collapsed, the slap bass would scold them fiercely.

In this rather chaotic stage they finally finished playing, Mary Jane turned back angrily almost at the end of the performance, wanting to rebuke Gwen for the sudden trouble, but...

"Knock knock! Knock knock! Bang! "

The drumsticks flew, and Gwen seemed to vent her anger and kept beating and striking with a Ling Ran momentum, as if what she was hitting was not the drum kit in front of her, but something intangible.

It took a while for Gwen to realize that something was wrong, and she cautiously looked up, and sure enough, the rest of the band was looking at her in a circle speechlessly.

"OK, I won, I said she would definitely last five minutes this time."

The black girl Glorie triumphantly stretched out her hand and patted the head of the black-haired girl Betty wearing black-framed glasses, and the latter helplessly slapped off Glorie's palm on her head, and then said with a little helplessness:

"Gwen, you really should talk to us."

"Talk?! Of course we have to talk about it! How many times has this already been done? You managed to recover for a while before, but now how did you change back? "

And Mary Jane is not as gentle as the other two, her hands are crossed at the waist, her eyebrows are dancing, like a policeman who has finally found the prisoner's flaw, she makes a "ha" sound, her upper body leans forward sharply, approaching Gwen, and the strong sense of oppression makes Gwen can't help but quietly move her body back a little.

"Ahhh... Haha,"

Gwen, who knew that she was at a loss, smiled dryly, trying to find a reasonable reason to escape Mary Jane's questioning, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't find a reasonable explanation, and finally had to say carefully:

"You know, that is, sometimes you get immersed in music, and when it feels like it's coming, I can't stop at all."

Mary Jane raised an eyebrow.

"Can't stop moving again and again? Okay, Glorie, Betty, grab her, I'll give this young lady's ass a 'punch' right now!" "

After speaking, without waiting for the other two to react, she moved her hands first, but Gwen was obviously very resistant to the fact that her butt was "moved and beaten", probably evoking some memories, and she subconsciously used her extraordinary athletic ability to dodge Mary Jane's "attack".

The other two girls looked like they were all the same, and this time they didn't even need to bet to know how things would turn out.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, Mary Jane was panting and defeated, she pointed at Gwen, but she couldn't say a word, just gasped, while Gwen waved her little hand apologetically, and her mouth kept expressing apologies.

"I'll get over it! I will definitely fix this this time! I swear! "

"You... You'd better ... For the better! "

Mary Jane issued an ultimatum with an undeterrent expression.

"If you don't hurry up and solve the relationship problem between you with your boyfriend, then Mary Jane will make a move!"

"That's right! We'll teach this annoying brat a good lesson! "

"He snatched our best drummer!"

And Glorie and Betty, who were watching the play, also echoed Mary Jane's remarks, but Gwen was shocked, and she denied it again and again:

"Hey! What are you talking about? Boyfriend? Did you guys misunderstand something?! "

In the face of Gwen's denial, Mary Jane let out a sneer.

"Betty, she said we misunderstood."

And Betty pushed the black-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose and said with a bit of playfulness:

"You've been absent from band training since March this year, and of course you've been absent and late in the past, but your face when you took time off was not so expectant, and I heard your voice on the phone like you were singing."

Glorie continued with Betty's words:

"In the past, every time we wanted to talk to you, you would rudely refuse, either that it was just your own business, or simply leave silently, we all thought that you would leave the band if you went on like this, but since April, after the bombing of that fate, you will actually apologize!"

And Mary Jane delivered the fatal blow.

"Since then, whether you've been in class or training, you've suddenly 'giggled' silly, and Betty has taken photos and videos of you, do you want to watch them?"

"Sisters, I'm just... Just..."

Seeing that Gwen still wanted to quibble, Glorie said simply:

"No matter what the reason is, you have to solve it quickly, we are going to attend the concert at the beginning of school in just over a month, this is the first event held by the school after the terrible explosion, the school is running this event at all costs, this event wants to eliminate the impact of the previous bombing, maybe there will be many journalists visiting by then, this is a good opportunity for us to become famous!"

Betty patted Glorie, frowned and said:

"Don't be so utilitarian Glorie, we should pay more attention to the trouble of our friends than the concert."

After speaking, Betty pushed her glasses, and the lens reflected a white light, covering Betty's eyes.

"So... Gwen, tell me about your sour love story, we, as good friends, will definitely criticize that bastard for you and help you solve the problem. "

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off, Mary Jane finally waved her hand as if she couldn't bear it, and glared angrily at everyone on the stage.

"Sisters, this is not a luncheon! This is the practice room, and we're still on stage! "

But probably also realizing that everyone must have no intention of continuing to practice in this situation, Mary Jane also had to give up the idea of continuing to play, she sighed and directly pressed her hand on Gwen's shoulder, and this time Gwen did not dodge again.

"Gwen, I don't know what you think, but all the sisters in this band are my best friends..."

Before Mary Jane finished speaking, Glorie took the lead in covering her heart with her hands and a weird smile.

"Oh~~ This is so heartwarming, MJ please come more~ It's almost that I'm about to fall~"

Mary Jane rolled her eyes, shook her head, and continued:

"I don't expect you to be unreserved for us, but when you encounter troubles or troubles, I also want you to give us the right to help you, at least let us know what trouble you have, if you are very happy and happy then it doesn't matter, no matter the reason, we will be happy for you, but if you are very disappointed, we at least hope that we will not know anything about the reason for your loss."

Glorie blinked her eyes after listening, and then looked at Gwen, and found that Gwen, who was still trying to maintain a dry smile, quickly disappeared after hearing Mary Jane's words, and the corners of her mouth that were originally trying to upturn were also pulled down at this time, which is probably in line with Gwen's state of mind, Glory secretly gave a thumbs up to Mary Jane in admiration, and then pulled her glasses to flash white light again, surrounded Gwen, waiting for a "sweet and sour love story".

And Gwen hesitated for two seconds and then raised her head and looked at Mary Jane for a long time, and then whispered:

"Actually, it's about my friend."

Seeing the three of them rolling their eyes in unison, Gwen scratched his head sharply.

"It's really about my friend! It's not what you think! "

Although Gwen does want to confess the knots that have troubled her recently, there are still too many secrets in her that cannot be revealed, such as her identity as Ghost Spider-Man, Peter's resurrection, and the identity of "Batman" that has been popular recently.

In the end, Gwen had to compromise and say:

"My troubles are actually the same as yours, my one... Friend, he always has his own things, I originally thought that our relationship ... Well, it has to be good, but he always has something to hide from me, and when I found out something, I found out that he had more secrets, and I could understand that he had many secrets, but... But I just couldn't stand his sudden appearance and then sudden disappearance, as if my presence was not important to him. "

"Did he cheat?"

Glorie's eyes widened.

"Did he split his legs?"

Betty covered her mouth.

"He's in the underworld business?"

Mary Jane's expression became excited.

"I knew it was a bad idea to share it with you! I said he's just my friend! "

Gwen slapped the door of the head.

The other three shook their heads helplessly after exchanging glances at each other, probably because of the authorities, anyone could guess, if it weren't for special feelings, who would care so much about someone? Who cares how many secrets there are in someone who doesn't care?

In the end, it was Mary Jane, the eldest sister, who stepped forward, although Mary Jane usually looked domineering and always showed people as a big sister, but her heart was actually much more delicate than others.

She didn't break Gwen's feelings, she knew her state of mind far better than Gwen herself.

The reason for refusing to admit her feelings for this so-called "friend" is probably not entirely because she did not realize it, perhaps it was just that she was also not ready to face this relationship and chose to turn a blind eye.

Therefore, rather than forcibly pulling out the seedlings to help, she is more inclined to let Gwen choose to face her feelings squarely.

"Gwen, if your troubles really are the same as ours, haven't we already shown you how to solve them?"

"Huh? Belch? Ahhh..."

Gwen froze for a moment before reacting, she blinked, wanted to say something, but Mary Jane didn't give her another chance, she slapped Gwen on the butt, and while shouting "move and beat" with a strange laugh, she hugged everyone in her arms and announced loudly:

"Okay, problem solved! It's worth celebrating! Let's head towards the burger shop! Gwen, is your 'Charlie's Chocolate Factory Gold Roll' redeemable for unlimited burgers still there? We're going to eat burgers today! "

A few girls laughed and left the practice room, which should have been just an ordinary day for a few beautiful girls, just ignore the words of the professor who was kneeling on the roof of the practice room, overlooking the departing people.

Miles Warren stared at the girl who reflected the golden light, and kept repeating a word.

"Friends? Friend?! Friend!! "
