American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 43 Hero Types

Starlight wasn't lying; her eyes did indeed sometimes sparkle.

However, Xiao Xian felt that confirming it after only one look might be a fluke, so he checked it several more times.

The good news is that multiple experiments have proven that the results were not due to chance.

The bad news was that because of the multiple confirmations, they were a bit rushed, and on the way back, a female driver, engrossed in watching Xiao Xian, crashed into an oncoming car, causing a traffic accident and ultimately making Xiao Xian late for the afternoon.

The afternoon training course was the Chevrolet acting class that Xingguang mentioned the teacher was particularly fierce about.

"I don't care what level of superhero he is, or what his excuse is for being late. I won't teach someone who doesn't respect my class!"

Chevrolet is an acting teacher who is under thirty years old. What is most striking about her is her snow-white hair, whether it is dyed or natural is unknown. Although she is young, her acting skills and connections are highly recognized by Hollywood.

"I'm so sorry, Xiao Xian will be here soon," Jack said humbly.

"It's no use him coming now! Find a new acting coach! I'm not teaching him!"

Outside the door, Xiao Xian, who had rushed over, overheard the conversation inside and asked Ike at the door, "The teacher is here?"

"She just arrived, she's 5 minutes late, and you're 7 minutes late. This is troublesome," Ike said, his scalp tingling.

"I was in a traffic accident and happened to save someone," Xiao Xian said, listening to Chevrolet cursing Jack inside. "Who is this teacher? Did he sign a contract? Can he just stop teaching whenever he wants?"

"Don't offend her. It would have been fine before, but you heard about the boss's son confessing his feelings to a girl last weekend, right? That girl is determined to develop her career in the entertainment industry, and her acting teacher is Chevrolet."

Ike said helplessly

"Otherwise, if she were this arrogant, I would have stopped her long ago. You should also be careful. If you offend her, and she says something to the boss's son's girlfriend, and then the girlfriend says something to the boss's son, and then the son says something to the boss, then it will be troublesome."

"Isn't this getting a bit off-topic?" Xiao Xian's lips twitched. Why did he have this feeling of being the cousin of his third aunt's second uncle's cousin?

"Hey, don't be so careless. We're just working for others, and we don't have many connections. If we just bury ourselves in our work and don't learn how to manage relationships, we'll be in big trouble if we offend people without even realizing it."

Ike sighed and said that if his boss hadn't put him in charge of Xiao Xian's debut, he wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this mess at all.

Although Chevrolet's position wasn't high, the boss's son's girlfriend went to her place for over ten hours of lessons every week, and Ike didn't want to offend her.

"It's okay, I'm quite popular with women."

Xiao Xian smiled and said relaxedly that he wasn't worried at all. Since he acquired Super Charm, Xiao Xian's meals were served faster than others, and kind people often helped him pay the bill. He didn't even have to pay for the room when playing friendly matches.

"No, no, no, you absolutely mustn't have such a plan. Chevrolet is a lesbian, and she hates being approached by men the most. She never has any physical contact with male students when teaching actors." Ike quickly stopped her. "She won't even shake hands. She refuses any physical contact with men."

"Ah, this..." Xiao Xian had no doubt about the power of Super Charm, but he didn't know if Super Charm would still be useful if the other party's sexual orientation was different.

Just as Xiao Xian was struggling with his decision, Jack could no longer stop the angry Chevrolet. The door opened, and the furious Chevrolet pushed it open. He paused for a moment upon seeing Xiao Xian, then adjusted his glasses and asked in an elegant tone and posture...

"Manager Ike, who is this?"

He said he was asking Ike, but Chevrolet's eyes were on Xiao Xian the whole time.

"This is Xiao Xian, the student you are going to teach. Actually, there is a reason why he is late this time. There was a car accident on the way, and Xiao Xian was delayed in order to save people."

There was no other way, so Ike explained, forcing himself to be polite: if anything went wrong with Xiao Xian's training, the boss would definitely blame him.

"Ah, well, there's nothing I can do about that. You're such a kind person. Sometimes being a little late is unavoidable. Just relax and be comfortable in my class. Hello~ Nice to meet you. I'm your acting teacher, Chevrolet."

Chevrolet introduced himself with a charming smile, while extending his hand to Xiao Xiandao.

Wasn't it said that handshakes were forbidden? Now that the other party has extended their hand, could this be a sting operation? Xiao Xian turned to look at Ike, wondering whether he should shake hands or not.

"." Ike looked at Chevrolet, who was speaking softly, with a shocked expression. This guy was not like this in front of other students. He had scolded Xingguang badly this morning, not to mention the other male students.

Among the Osborn Group's superheroes, there are quite a few handsome ones, but I've never seen Chevrolet so proactive and easy to talk to.

Of course, Ike also had to admit that although Xiao Xian was just an ordinary handsome guy when he first saw him, when he saw Xiao Xian again after the news of Peter killing Xiao Xian, Xiao Xian's appearance was something he had never seen in his life.

Does being handsome really mean you can do whatever you want? You can even be late for class? You say you're popular with girls, but this isn't just ordinary liking, is it? Are you using some kind of charm?

"Forget it, this supervisor is unreliable." Seeing Supervisor Ike's bewildered expression, Xiao Xian extended his hand and shook hands with Chevrolet.

"Hello, I am Xiao Xian. Please take care of me from now on."

Chevrolet sized up Xiao Xian, and Xiao Xian also sized up Chevrolet. She had delicate features and snow-white hair. It was a bit of a pity that such a beautiful girl was a lace model.

"Come in. To be honest, someone as handsome as you doesn't actually need acting skills."

Chevrolet pulled Xiao Xian inside.

"What kind of superhero style do you want? I'll design action and expression templates for you, and you can just imitate them."

"Um, the kind that's all-powerful and righteous? Like Superman, that kind attracts the most fans," Xiao Xian thought for a moment and said.

"That kind of thing requires strong public relations skills and an exceptionally good temper. Otherwise, if a scandal arises, or a video of you getting angry is recorded, it will leave the public with the impression that you're hypocritical and that this person is definitely faking it," Chevrolet explained.

"There are also requirements for appearance. You can't look fierce or sleazy. Of course, you definitely meet the appearance requirements."

"Um," Xiao Xian weighed his actions and felt that he might not be a good fit for this image. "What about a tough guy, like Wolverine? His healing ability is about the same as mine."

"When you're doing company promotions or appearing on variety shows, you'll probably face all sorts of challenges. And if you're filming a movie, there will be many scenes where you get shot by bullets and don't make a sound, which must be really painful," Chevrolet replied. "Besides, that would be a bit of a waste of your stunning good looks."
