Chapter 509 Emotional Intelligence Is Not Low Enough
In a classroom at Central High School in Queens, New York, an academic decathlon quiz is being practiced.
"Peter, this is a national-level event, can't you just take two days off on the weekend?" Teacher Harrington, who is in charge of guiding students to participate in this competition, is communicating with Peter Parker, a scholar who wants to quit the team.
"I can't go to Washington, because Mr. Stark needs me, and I have to make sure he can find me here." Peter explained very seriously.
Even in order to have more time to do something to prove himself, he also quit the marching band and the robot group... to spend all the time after school fighting evil and doing justice.
"Oh, come on, you haven't even met Tony Stark himself, you're just an intern at Stark Industries," Peter's classmate Eugene Lightning Thompson scoffed as he leaned back in his chair. .
Peter couldn't argue with this at all. He couldn't say that his internship at Stark Industries was just a pretense. The truth was that he was invited by Tony to Berlin, Germany, where he fought the Avengers and tied up the United States. team leader......
God, they must think he's crazy!
Captain Liz Allen glanced at Peter helplessly, then turned his head and said, "Lightning, take Peter's place."
"Oh, I'm not sure, I'll have to check my schedule first because I have an appointment with Black Widow."
Such Hong Guoguo's ridicule and bragging B made many people roll their eyes, and Peter was even more blocked. He wanted to say that he had fought side by side with Black Widow, and Black Widow also praised him for his agility... ...
A boy of 14 or 5 years old is the most immature stage, and it is not easy for him to endure it forcibly.
At this moment, Principal Morita walked in with a stranger.
After greeting, Principal Morita introduced: "Mr. Harrington, this is Mr. Eason who is in charge of academic exchanges in Wakanda."
"Hello, Mr. Ethan." Harrington took the initiative to extend his hand. As a frequent visitor to the news recently, he is no stranger to the name Wakanda, and he knows that this is a powerful and rich country, so there is no Neglect the other party, be very polite, but just don't understand why the other party came to a high school?
"Hello, Mr. Harrington." The visitor shook his hand with the same politeness, and then expressed his intention: "After we choose to conduct real academic exchanges with the outside world in Wakanda, it has attracted people from all over the world. The most renowned and authoritative academics in the field, including..."
Harrington and the others, who were listening on the side, became more and more frightened. The series of names were all big names in various fields. For example, their central high school was considered a famous high school. The teaching staff was very strong, but even the teachers of their school. Most of them are not qualified to talk to these authoritative bigwigs, let alone communicate and study on an equal footing.
So it can be seen how high-level the academic exchange created by Wakanda is, and it has actually attracted so many great people!
Then the Mr. Eason said the main point of this trip, which made Harrington overjoyed!
"After the first stage of academic exchanges, we found a problem, that is, the general public in the outside world still does not know the meaning of this academic exchange, which means that it is too limited to a certain circle... "
Balabala went through a bit of a trick, until after everyone was dizzy, he finally came to the point, "So this time we are going to select some elite students from major colleges and universities to audition, not necessarily to let them understand something. , but to know what the general trend is in the future, what areas can let them show their strengths, and by the way, they should also broaden their horizons and inject vitality into this circle."
"Good! Well said!"
As soon as the words fell, Principal Morita took the lead in applauding excitedly, and Harrington and other students followed suit.
Whether or not this is a bit false,
At least going to an academic exchange meeting of this level to get acquainted is a rare opportunity!
Most of the talents who can be described as "elite" are not willing to degenerate, but want to stand out as much as possible.
And no matter what field needs the injection of fresh blood to maintain vitality, if you know in advance which fields will be popular in the future, then these people will undoubtedly be one step ahead of others on the road of life or even more.
It's like the years when the computer was the most popular, how many people enrolled in this field for professional courses, and then became IT elites, earning money that others can't make in their lifetime.
And now this opportunity to get a head start has just fallen from the sky and hit their heads.
"Mr. Ethan, please rest assured that our school will fully cooperate with your work. I wonder how many places each school can get this time?"
"Currently, it is tentatively set to have 3 to 5 places for each college. If there are some students with special potential in a certain area, they can be appropriately relaxed."
In order to complete the task assigned by King T'Challa, Ethan was also fighting hard, not daring to say anything to death.
Hearing this, Mr. Harrington was both disappointed and pleasantly surprised. He thought that he could get all the students in the academic decathlon team. At most 5 places are not enough. In case the principal has other ideas It would be even more troublesome to plug two related households in.
And just when Mr. Harrington had a headache to choose which students to choose, Liz and the others also discussed with excited laughter.
In their opinion, since everyone has come to them, these places must be given to them. The only difference is who can be selected and who will be eliminated.
Anyone who can participate in the national academic decathlon quiz competition naturally has two brushes. Knowing astronomy and geography is definitely not just talking about it. It can be said that everyone has the pride of being a scholar, even the rich two like Lightning. It is also a top-notch existence to replace the supplementary players in the pile of ordinary students.
So no one would pass up such a good opportunity, except Peter.
"Who do you think will be selected?"
"It's hard to say, but I am optimistic about Liz. She has good learning and strong leadership. The key is that she is beautiful, and it is unreasonable not to be selected."
"Don't talk nonsense, I think Peter has a better chance."
Peter glanced at Liz subconsciously, then quickly averted his eyes, still thinking about the deer in his heart, but he had already blurted out: "I won't go, if I'm selected, I'll give up... out."
In fact, he wanted to give it to Liz, but firstly, people didn't seem to need him, and secondly, it seemed a bit of charity.
Thankfully, his EQ hasn't gone negative.
