"Mr. Richter, I hope you have a correct attitude. Your current behavior is not conducive to good communication between us." Magic? Warlock? What a joke. Colson and Melinda's statement to Evanson is from the bottom of their hearts. After all, it is no longer the ignorant medieval age, but the twenty-first century, and science is the king. Now magic only appears in fairy tales, novels and movies. "For us, magic is unscientific, and all special abilities beyond the norm are mutated."

"Don't rush to define it first." Evanson shook his head. "Why do you think there is no such power as magic in this world?"

"In our world and the civilizations are based on science, science creates everything and science explains everything. The achievements of mankind today depend on the power of science, not the mysterious magic, which will only restrict human progress." Colson calmly explained the view of the supremacy of science and his disdain for magic.

Papapapapapapapapapapa, after listening to Colson's words, Evanson clapped his applause very slowly. "Good speech, but I think you have some deviation in your understanding of magic."

Colson was a little impatient. The senior agent of SHIELD was here to discuss whether magic existed. This kind of thing was ridiculous. "Mr. Richter, I think I don't have to do anything to spend my time on these..."

"Is magic conflicting with science?" Evanson suddenly interrupted Colson's words loudly. "Centuries ago, helping mothers with hot water would be used as witchcraft, and midwives would be tied to a stolen rack to burn to death. Now bloody things like caesarean section are generally accepted because this is science. Weapons that can destroy a city at one time are weapons that only gods have. Now there are many such weapons that can explode the earth hundreds of times, which is also because of science. Only gods can climb to the moon, but now humans have done it, all because of science. However, these sciences were called magic or even myths without exception. Therefore, magic is a science that cannot be explained." Evanson said this passage very quickly and did not give anyone a chance to interrupt.

Colson rubbed his temple helplessly, "Magic is science that cannot be explained yet? Arthur Clark's famous saying. He is a science fiction novel."

"I think he is the pioneer of science, or the pioneer of magic." Evanson firmly opposed Colson's behavior and looked down on the novel's author. "Accept, magic is not a superstition of worshipping idols, nor is it a fool to refine ore into medicine. Like science, it is a pursuit and exploration of truth, but the angle is different." In the end, Evanson said as if he was solemn.

The agent duo sighed together, feeling that they were almost brainwashed. Now they just want to end the topic as soon as possible, so Melinda said, "Okay, magic is an alternative science, so we say that magic is a superpower, and there is nothing wrong with you, a magician, a superpower."

"Wrong, first, I am not a magician but a warlock, the second, the psychics have achieved superpowers through mutation, with suddenness, uncertainty and unreplicability. And I have achieved strength through learning and training." Evanson corrected it with no eyesight.

I'll go, you said you're addicted, and there's still nothing left. The two agents Evanson's seriousness could only look at each other and smile bitterly. But their expressions suddenly froze. Although this look was funny, they didn't care. Because they realized that Evanson's words just now had a very subtle word. If what he said was true, would it mean that S.H.E.L.D. can also master this power?

"Learn? Are you saying that your strength is through learning?" Colson asked with some uncertainty.

"Of course." Evanson knew what the other party meant when he heard this, but he still answered with certainty.

"Then, you can learn...magic in addition to you?" Colson asked even more carefully, afraid that this would be another bad joke from the other party.

The answer "of course" is still very certain.

"Can everyone learn?" Colson was a little uneasy now and his tone was raised.

"Of course... not. Agent skills are also learned. Can everyone become agents? This depends on talent, okay." Evanson's tone seemed to be stupid about this question.

In fact, Colson regretted it as soon as he asked. If everyone could learn this kind of power, then he would not have walked all over the ground. "What kind of person can learn, or what kind of talent do you need?" Colson looked eager. Need talent? No problem, S.H.I.E.L.D. is full of talents, and top agents can even challenge the limits of human beings. Can't you find a talented person? Even if you don't have one, it doesn't matter. As long as you know the standards, with S.H.E.D.'s ability, that person can be dug out even if he hides in the cracks.

"Talent?" Evanson thought about it for a moment, "strong mental power, firm will, broad thinking, etc."

"Some... general." Colson thought about these conditions. Strong mental power? First of all, what is mental power? Let's count it as a magic term, but how strong it is to be strong? A firm will is understandable, but how firm it is to be firm, is it to be firm, is it to be firm? Is this a big deal? Is there a broad idea, how broad it is to be? Do the neurological patient count?

"Magic, after all, it is somewhat different from science, and some places are not so... rigorous." Evanson said, "This is pretty good. This is just the condition of becoming an apprentice. He can only learn some simple magic. If you want to learn advanced magic, the talent you need is more mysterious. There is no standard at all. It is completely judged by experience and feelings."

Evanson said this is not a matter of misfortune. When he was in an orphanage, he had already started to study the book "The Complete Collection of Warlocks and Spells". After all, he studied hard and was improving every day. But the orphanage was a collective environment, even if he was carefully knocked down. But at that time, he found that no one had ever noticed him reading another book. Yes, people could see him, but they would not pay attention to what he was doing. The book was not invisible, but was just ignored by people subconsciously. Only one person could see the entire monastery, that is, the dean.

An old nun who was extremely devout to God and the Virgin Mary. But she just saw it. Don’t talk about the contents of the book. As long as you say something to her and distract her attention a little, she will immediately forget about the book and completely forget what happened just now. Evanson understood that this book would distort the perception of those people with insufficient mental power. You turned a blind eye to the book in front of you. Even if you see it, you will forget it when you look back. This is also the reason why Evanson left the orphanage so quickly. It is not a good thing to feel that it is too distorted.

So, this thing really depends on talent. If you don’t have talent, you don’t even have the chance to be enlightened as an apprentice, let alone a hundred volumes of rafting in the sea of ​​questions.

ps, about the issue of actively exposing magic. There will be explanations in the following chapters.

ps2, I was drunk today and my mind was drowsy, so I updated late, so I apologized.
