American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 216 Starlight's First Lesson (Part )
Anne swallowed hard, then looked around carefully.

Facing Anne's gaze, Queen Maeve leaned lazily in her seat and nodded to her, while the invisible man glanced at her with a sneer.

As for Shen Hai, somehow, Annie always felt that Shen Hai's mind seemed not to be here...

Or in other words, although he is here, his mind is somewhere else.

All in all, the appearance of the three future teammates did not bring any comfort to Annie, and just as Annie was terrified, Xuanse walked into the office silently.

"Hello, I'm Xingguang, I..."

The moment Xuanse walked in, Xingguang stood up habitually to introduce herself, but as she was speaking, she stopped herself.

Xuanse acted as if he didn't see her. He walked to his seat silently and sat down like a machine.

He sat up straight, even with his hands on his knees. Just looking at his sitting posture, Anne's knees felt a little weak.

While sitting in her seat, Annie wanted to struggle one last time, so she sat up straight like Xuanse and asked at the same time.

"Everyone... uh, Homelander is our captain, right? So he should appear last.

So the next person to appear is the new person who joined with me, that is, first..."

"Shut up!"

Before Annie could finish her words, Deep Sea and the Invisible Man yelled at her in unison.

After being scolded fiercely, Annie shuddered, then she couldn't help but shrink her head, and dared not say anything more.

Just as Anne was completely quiet, the door to the conference room was pushed open.

Annie quickly raised her head and looked at the person who came expectantly. At this moment, she desperately wanted to find someone like her to seek a little comfort.

In her opinion, although the ancestors came late, they would not come later than the people in her motherland, right?

But as Anne looked in disbelief, Homelander gently pushed open the door of the conference room, then stood silently at the door, looking silently at everyone in the conference room.

No one reacted to the arrival of the motherland, only Anne stood up again in surprise and bowed solemnly to the motherland.

"Homelander! Hello, I'm Xingguang, I just joined... I think I joined the Super Seven, I..."

"Haha, it looks like you're all here. That's right, we must seriously welcome our new colleagues!"

Before Xingguang could finish her words, Downton's frivolous voice appeared behind Homelander.

As Donton spoke, he enthusiastically put his arm around Homelander's shoulders, and then he pushed Homelander into the conference room.

As Starlight looked extremely surprised, Downton casually pushed Homelander to the original position of the locomotive, and he himself came to the only main seat in the conference room.

As he sat down, Donton waved to Xingguang.

"Hello, Starlight, welcome to join the Super Seven.

By the way, you don’t know me yet, right? I’m the ancestor. You can also call me Tang. We will become good friends.

Our group of seven is not as strict as people outside think. We don't have any rules here. You can be more casual and there's no need to sit so rigidly.

Then, can you please introduce yourself seriously?"

"Ah this... me... your... ancestor???"

Xingguang looked at the careless ancestor with a confused face, and then looked at the fellow countryman beside him with even more disbelief.

Facing Xingguang's gaze, Homelander was about to cry. He took a hard breath, then pointed at Downton and reminded Xingguang to listen carefully to what Downton said.

During this process, Homelander didn't even say a word. He was really afraid that he would say something wrong again and then be tortured by Downton again.

And Starlight...

Feeling the strange atmosphere in the conference room, she swallowed hard, then stood up mechanically and nervously introduced herself to everyone.

“Uh… I’m from New Jersey, and I’m twenty-one years old.

I… uh, I really wanted to join the Super Seven, and my mom took me to various superhero auditions in New Jersey since I was very young, and I… uh.

Since I was a kid, I...uh..."

As he spoke, he looked at the people who were becoming increasingly silent, and Xingguang could no longer utter the introduction he had prepared.

She was stuck there awkwardly and lowered her head involuntarily.

Compared with the embarrassing situation she was facing now, she really wanted to know what was going on in front of her. Why did the ancestor, who was obviously a newcomer like herself, sit in the main seat and give orders to everyone, including the people of her motherland?

Why are we all newcomers, but everyone is treated completely differently?
Just as Xingguang thought of this, Donton was slightly stunned, and then clapped his hands silently.

“Haha, Starlight’s introduction… is quite unique.

Anyway, everyone, please join me in welcoming our second new member!"

After the words fell, Donton clapped his hands enthusiastically.

The moment his applause sounded, Homelander and Deep Sea immediately followed suit and clapped their hands quickly.

While applauding, the motherland looked at Shenhai with dissatisfaction.

This kid clapped so fast, almost faster than me. If he got there first, wouldn't I have to eat one of my own teeth?

Just thinking about that scene made the people of the motherland feel a tingling sensation in their spine, and their gradually rising applause also made the stars gradually relax.

Facing the applause, Xingguang smiled, then folded her hands in front of her chest and said excitedly.

"Thank you, everyone. Thank you. I never thought this place would be like this.

Everybody has been so nice to me, I never expected I would be so popular.

You see, one minute I was just a normal little girl from New Jersey, and now I'm suddenly one of you!
You guys are household heroes, I mean, you guys are my heroes too, I even watch your videos before I go to sleep.

I am your fan, really, and I am a fanatic. I dreamed of coming here, but I never thought I would have such an opportunity! "

After the words fell, Xingguang felt that she had finally found her true self again.

She clenched her hands and looked at everyone around her excitedly and nervously.

But as she looked excited, Donton suddenly turned the chair under his butt.

The moment Downton made a small move, the applause around him stopped abruptly, and everyone else looked at Downton.

Facing everyone's gaze, Downton turned his chair towards the amazing starlight.

Then, he spread his legs ostentatiously towards the starlight.

Sitting there carefree with his legs apart, Donton smiled and waved to Xingguang.

"You are our fan, haha, isn't this a coincidence?

So what are you waiting for? Come here quickly!"

"what???"

Listening to what Donton said, Xingguang was stunned, and then asked in disbelief.

"I...I don't understand what you are saying, I..."

"Stop talking nonsense, sister, are you sure you really don't understand?
Even if you don't understand what I'm saying, you should understand my actions. I've fucking spread my legs towards you, don't you know what you should do?

So, you are playing dumb! "

"I……?!!"

Xingguang's face changed instantly with fear, and she fled from her seat as if running away. Then, while backing away towards the door of the conference room, she couldn't help but look at Queen Maeve, Homelander and the others.

"I...I know what you mean, but I can't believe it. You are...you are superheroes!

Queen Maeve and Homelander, I grew up watching your cartoons and movies, and I didn't know there were such steps to becoming a hero. You are simply...shameful!"

As she spoke, Starlight fled to the edge of the door.

At the same time, Maeve reached out her hand with a little reluctance and grabbed Donton's hand across the table.

"Ancestors..."

She spoke pleadingly, then looked carefully into Donton's eyes.

But Downton just shook his head and then scolded Maeve.

"Shut up!"
