"Ian, Remy, Vera, this is Peter. You will all be teammates for a while, so take care of each other."
Lockhart led Peter to his three students and introduced them.
"Okay, mentor," the three of them agreed in unison. After eating, they curiously looked at Peter in front of their teacher.
He looked handsome, tall, and thin, but had no magic power in his body, as if he were a Muggle.
But none of the three had any negative thoughts. To be brought over by their mentor, Peter must be special, just like the captain.
"Okay, Peter, have a brief chat with Ian and the others."
"I'm going to talk to Steve about something."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Steve.
When Peter saw the three, his previous restraint suddenly dissipated.
Facing Ian and Remy a little more comfortably, Peter greeted, "Hello, my name is Peter Parker. You can just call me Peter."
However, when he walked up to Vera, face-to-face, and looked at her delicate face and long, silky black hair, Peter's heart jumped slightly.
He didn't dare to look directly into her bright, gem-like eyes.
He introduced himself with some stuttering: "Hello, you... can call me Peter. What should I call you?"
Vera looked at Peter, who had been speaking fluently with Remy and Ian just now, but was now stuttering when communicating with her.
Suddenly, she smiled, stretched out her hand, and said, "Hello, Peter. My name is Vera, a student of Master Lockhart and a wizard. You can just call me Vera."
Peter subconsciously stretched out his hand, shook her hand lightly, then retracted it, and said somewhat cautiously: "Hello, Vera."
After saying that, Peter thought about his performance just now and felt a little embarrassed. He wished that there would be a crack in the ground for him to disappear into.
Seeing this, Vera had a faint smile on her face and resolved Peter's embarrassment with one sentence.
"Peter, Instructor Steve is usually very gentle, but he is very strict during training, and fighting is inevitable. I hope we can cooperate together in the upcoming training."
After hearing this, Peter felt slightly reassured, nodded heavily, and then asked curiously: "Vera, what do you and Captain America usually train for?"
Remy, who was watching from the side, jumped in and said: "Peter, Instructor Steve is training us in close combat, developing practical experience, and..."
As they communicated, Peter, Remy, Ian, and Vera began to chat slowly.
At this moment, Lockhart stood in front of the captain, looking at the four people chatting together, the corners of his mouth raised.
Then, he reminded Steve next to him: "Steve, Peter is very strong. Whether in strength, agility, or combat intuition, he is far beyond ordinary people. His abilities can complement the three. Let them train together to make up for the weaknesses of both parties."
Hearing this, Steve nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Seeing this, Lockhart glanced at Sunny beside him and the small treadmill on the ground.
He stretched out his wand and swiped it slightly. In an instant, Sunny was pulled onto the treadmill to start today's exercise.
Gu! Gu!
Sunny, who realized he was in trouble, screamed in dissatisfaction.
But he found that his keeper didn't care at all, so he had no choice but to keep running and start today's exercise.
Lockhart, on the other hand, opened a portal and turned around to leave.
Upgrading Vientiane Book Cafe couldn't be done by Bruno alone; he also had to keep an eye on it.
"Peter, be careful of the next attack."
Steve stood next to the sandbag projection machine, looked at Peter who was 10 meters away, and reminded him while lightly touching the button with his palm.
"Okay, instructor, I'm ready."
At this moment, Peter had mixed feelings. Just now, he felt he was being trained by the captain, but after a while, he found that he seemed to be reduced to a training tool.
Is it because he's too good?
While Peter was thinking, suddenly—
Whoosh!
With a sharp whistling sound, a fist-sized sandbag was fired at Peter, as powerful as a bullet.
At the same time, Peter seemed to sense something and took a step to the left. The sandbag flew past where he had just been standing.
In the next moment—
Nine sandbags rushed towards Peter from different directions, like arrows, as if to surround him.
After Peter noticed them, he saw the nine sandbags speeding toward him and activated his spider senses.
To his naked eye, the flying sandbags appeared very slow, including their flight trajectories.
He even had time to glance at Vera, who was watching him from not far away.
His brain calculated rapidly. He took one step to the left, paused slightly, took two steps forward, and then took another step sideways.
The whole process seemed very leisurely, relaxed, and comfortable.
Well, it's unclear how much of that was due to wanting to show off in front of a girl.
At the same time, the nine fast sandbags passed directly through Peter's original location as if there had been no obstacle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With the sound of the nine sandbags hitting the wall behind him, Peter was unscathed.
Clap! Clap!
Seeing this, Steve clapped his hands gently and said in praise: "Peter's reaction is very good."
Immediately afterward, he said to the three on the side: "You three should aim to mimic Peter's performance and practice your instinct and reaction time."
"Whether it's bullets, magic, or other weapons, you have to know how to dodge them quickly. You can't just think about a head-on confrontation."
After the three heard this, they glanced at Peter, who walked over, and nodded quickly.
"Instructor, what else do you need me to do next?" Peter replied, with some resentment.
Peter had originally thought that he would receive personal combat training from Captain America, but was shocked to find that the captain was teaching everyone how to improve their reaction time and avoid attacks.
And what about him?
In this regard, relying on his intuition and senses that were different from ordinary people, he could be said to be overflowing with ability.
As a result, Steve was quite happy when he saw Peter's performance.
Professor Lockhart was right—such a good demonstration tool should be used whenever necessary.
Peter would be the perfect model to teach everyone how to avoid attacks.
But when faced with Peter's question, Steve thought for a moment and said to the three of them: "You will first conduct simple training with the machine to see how good your evasion level is."
Then, he looked at Peter next to him and asked in a deep voice: "Peter, in terms of combat, because of your special physique, ordinary training will not be effective for you. I think actual combat training might be more suitable."
"Tonight, we have an operation dedicated to training combat experience. Do you want to participate?"
Having said this, Steve reminded: "During the operation, there will be blood. You can tell me your decision after you think it over."
