Chapter 115 'Wizard'
Bruce's original plan was to hide his tracks and hide in the dark.
Then he deliberately released clues to attract those superhumans who had ill intentions towards him, and then fought back and killed them.
According to Katum, this is called fishing enforcement.
However, the appearance of pursuers and dagger disrupted Bruce's plan, and the method of hiding in the wild was no longer effective.
With the power of Nth Metal, pursuers will always find him.
In that case, why not just show yourself completely to the public!
"We are lucky. This world happens to have such unspoken rules."
Katum said, "As long as they are under the spotlight and cameras, even the most bastard superhumans have to pretend to be saints."
"So joining the Seven is actually the safest option, right?"
Bruce understood what Katoom meant.
He inherited a legacy of 10 billion. Even if he kept it secret, it would still attract the covetousness of countless people.
If it is made public directly, it will make others afraid to act rashly.
"But the Seven have to be superheroes. What heroic image can I use?"
Bruce thought about it and ruled out Batman first.
In his opinion, the so-called seven-member group is actually an idol group that relies on marketing and performances to gain attention.
The name Batman means a lot to Bruce, and it must not be used for people's entertainment.
This is blasphemy.
He had to think of a new identity to use only in this world.
"Isn't this simple?" Katum said, "Just use the way you are now."
"What do I look like now?"
Bruce pointed at himself, looking confused.
Is the owl crazy?
How can a thirteen-year-old child be a hero?
Will public opinion acknowledge it?
"You don't understand this!"
Katum laughed and said, “I admit that the selection criteria of the Seven Group in the past mainly favored handsome men and beautiful women, or showed diversity, but in essence, they still only looked at benefits.
“You have a lot of competitors now, if you want to stand out, you have to take a different track from others.
"Bruce, I call this track of yours--
"Development-based hero!"
Bruce's brows suddenly frowned.
Cultivation system? Why does it sound so strange?
Katum further explained: “Don’t show this expression, believe me, this character must be very popular!
"First of all, you are worth tens of billions, which makes you undoubtedly a strong man in the capitalist society and you have the qualifications to be a hero.
"And you have a good appearance and are young, so it's very easy for you to attract female fans. Bruce, don't forget that you learned from Lockhart!"
Half Lockhart at least, Owl thought.
Bruce still felt strange when he heard what Katum said, but he couldn't find any reason to refute it.
"Finally, there is one more thing! You are a strong person, but you are also a weak person!"
The owl reminded, "Bruce, you are an orphan."
Bruce asked, "So what if he's an orphan? Can someone worth tens of billions be considered a weakling?"
"Of course!"
Owl said casually, "After all, no matter where you are, only if you are strong enough, you have the right to tell others that you are weak. As for the real weak, no one will care."
The image that Katum designed for Bruce is an orphan with a heroic dream and a net worth of tens of billions.
"Will this work?" Bruce was unsure.
"Don't worry!"
Katum patted Bruce on the shoulder and said, "With this kind of personality, you will definitely attract a lot of mom fans!"
Now that the character issue has been resolved, the next thing to determine is what kind of hero Bruce will be.
He has the magic of Hogwarts and can customize his abilities at will.
After thinking for a moment, Katum came up with an idea.
"Although we have no problem with female fans, we definitely cannot give up on male fans."
If nothing unexpected happens, Bruce's competitor this time will be Starlight.
A superhero with a sweet appearance who has participated in various performance competitions since childhood and speaks up for women.
Such an opponent should not be underestimated.
"If you want to attract male fans, you have to use some special means."
Katoom asked Bruce, "What do you think about transforming? Into another form, or into a mecha?"
Is there any use for magic and mecha? Owl doesn't know.
But when you watch Kamen Rider or Super Sentai before, there were also magic themes, so there should still be a certain degree of acceptance.
“Your idea is really creative.”
Bruce asked back, "But where do I get the mecha?"
"Isn't this a coincidence?" Katum flapped his wings, "I just happened to pick up a mecha before!"
After that, the owl really took out a red and gold mecha suit from its feathers in front of Bruce.
Iron Man Armor.
Picked up from Red Skull's showroom.
"Dang-dang-dang!"
Owl placed the mecha on the ground and solemnly introduced it to Bruce.
"It's made by Stark Group and is in mint condition. We just need to use a Transfiguration spell to change the details and it will be a brand new set of armor!"
At this moment, seeing Owl pull out an armored suit bigger than Bruce from his feathers, Batboy had only one thought.
He really wanted to pick up the owl upside down, shake it, and see what good things were inside.
"Don't just stand there, start working!"
The owl said, "Reshape this armor into a knight style, and you will be the new generation of wizard knight!"...
After making all the decisions, Bruce bought a villa as a place to stay.
An owl was flying across the ceiling, holding a cell phone in its claws.
"Have you memorized the script? I'm ready to start recording!"
If you want to compete for a position in the seven-member team, you must send the relevant information to Water Company.
That's what Xingguang did. She sent all her training records and award certificates from childhood to adulthood to Water Company.
Bruce had none of these things, so he had to start from scratch.
"I've already written it down!"
Bruce held the script and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the lines? The first sentence you wrote is: 'Hello, all the producers'..."
Where did the national producer come from in Water Group?
"Don't worry about it. It's normal for a thirteen-year-old to make mistakes."
Owl held up his phone, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's start filming!"
Bruce sighed, put the manuscript aside, and walked in front of the camera.
No matter whether it works or not, just give it a try.
Bruce then walked to the designated position and prepared to shoot.
"Begin!" Katum shouted.
Hearing the sound, Bruce began to perform according to the previous rehearsal.
The first step is to bow.
……
The Super Seven actually consisted of seven people.
But not long ago, the original member, the Lamplighter, retired, leaving a vacant position.
Fans have always been concerned about who will be the next seventh person.
There are many different opinions on this topic, and all kinds of rumors are rampant, but there has been no definite answer.
Until this day, a vote was suddenly issued on the official website of Water Company.
《Who is the seventh person? You decide! 》
After clicking, many photos appeared in front of people.
Although there seem to be many contestants, there are two photos that are placed in the most conspicuous positions, and they are obviously the main heroes promoted by Water Company this time.
The first photo shows a blonde girl with a sweet smile, and a white uniform that makes her look even more youthful.
The following is a related introduction -
"Hero code name: Starlight, real name Annie January, hero abilities: absorbing energy, releasing electric light, super endurance."
After clicking on the photo, you will see the promotional video and personal interview of Starlight.
In the interview, Xingguang's sweet image and neighborly temperament left a deep impression on people.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be her.
With such feelings, people looked at the next photo and then fell into shock.
Is Vought Corporation serious about this?
Isn't this a child?!
"Hero code name: Wizard, real name Bruce Wayne, hero ability: mysterious magical power, and the ability to summon magic armor to fight at critical moments!"
Later, people clicked on the promotional video and saw Bruce with a young face.
He had a shy smile, just like every ordinary little boy.
No one knows how long Bruce spent planning this seemingly ordinary smile.
The prototype of the smile comes from Gilderoy Lockhart, the dream lover of countless female witches.
With just one glance, countless female fans were captivated by Bruce's smile.
This boy looks so clean!
There is not a trace of impurities in his smile, it is so pure!
Soon after, more information about Bruce Wayne was revealed in documentary films and interviews.
Thirteen years old, grew up in an orphanage, inherited a legacy of tens of billions, had a dream of being a hero since childhood, and is willing to contribute everything he has to serve the people.
What a wonderful boy!
In just a moment, countless people felt sympathy for Bruce. He was so pitiful!
He lost everything at a young age, but grew up strong and had a dream of becoming a hero.
Later, as fate would have it, he got everything that others dreamed of, but he did not lose his original intention and still wanted to serve the world.
Are there any better kids in the world?
They must help Bruce realize his dream!
Not long after Water Company’s announcement was issued, the entire Internet exploded.
Compared to Starlight's disorganized male fans, Bruce's female fans instantly united together and had a unified rhetoric.
"We want to help Bubao realize his dream!"
"He has unlimited potential in the future and is definitely the best seventh man!"
"Bubao is a perfect fit for the Seven. His values are still unsettled. With the guidance of heroes like Homelander, he will surely become an even greater hero!"
Soon, there was only overwhelming support for Bruce on the Internet.
But soon after, a video appeared on the Internet, which showed Xingguang crying silently alone.
“I just want to prove that little girls like me can have the chance to achieve their dreams.”
She cried and said, "I have nothing left. I didn't get selected this time. I can only find someone to marry and live a mediocre life from now on."
This video is like a shot in the arm.
This allowed Xingguang, who was almost sentenced to death, to regain support.
"Bruce, you bullshit! Brothers, follow me for the goddess of stars!"
