Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
60. Heading to New York

”... When do you get a pet?”

Early the next morning, Barbara knocks on Mathison's door and …

He saw a pure white dog standing with two legs jumping towards him, as the man bowed to him.

The color is pure white, but the nose and tip of the tail are black. What is more interesting is that the dog's left eye is surrounded by dark circles.

It can be seen that the owner of this dog actually treated him as a relative, the reason being that the dog was wearing a small blue suit, and a red ribbon was tied around his neck.

Although it is completely impossible to tell by looking at what breed of dog it is, the dog looks very cute.

A drop of cold sweat ran down the back of Mathison's neck, smiling dryly: “Charlie was my teacher's pet, because, so he put her here.”

"Charlie? Is that the name of this dog?”

Barbara curiously patted Charlie on the head, and then Charlie licked his hand in response.

“Ya, actually, his full name is Charlie IX...”

The reward for Mathison's Black and White Duel achievement was none other than the dog in front of her!

Charlie IX: from the world of "Charlie IX", although a dog, but has an IQ exceeding that of an ordinary human, a fairly long lifespan, a very noble lineage, it is a dog noble unique in the world!

And under the transformation of the system, Charlie IX has all of his original adventure experiences, but weakens the bonds of his original master, only to be directly attached to Mathison.

As for what use this thing has for Mathison …

Well.. It must be useful, right?

Come to think of it, Kaito Kuroba has Konosuke Jii, Batman has Butler Alfred, Iron Man has Jarvis, and Lupin III has two partners…

Mathison's partner is a dog?

Mathison has a book on making small tech props from Conan's world, so Charlie IX's neck is actually Conan's bow tie voice changer. He made many modifications to allow him to calibrate the fang sound waves and then turn them into human sounds.

As for how he designed the basic conversion of barking dogs and human voices, it depended on the help of Charlie IX.

He barked while using his dog's paws to show what he wanted to say in the English dictionary, and then he needed all day to finish designing everyday words.

Trying to organize all the English words will take years.

"However, the fact that Charlie can speak cannot be known to outsiders in any way, even by Barbara."

Mathison thought so and gestured to Charles IX with her eyes.

Charlie IX instantly understood and returned his reassuring gaze.

"It always felt like Charlie's eyes were full of feelings like human eyes, even though it was a dog."

Barbara closed her mouth and laughed lightly.

"Forget Charlie for now, why did you come so early in the morning, is something wrong?"

Mathison takes Charlie IX as quickly as possible and keeps him away from Barbara.

"I knew that when I heard you say that, you must have forgotten the schedule again ..."

Barbara held onto her forehead and shook her head, "Today we have to decide on an exchange student to New York."

Mathison soon realizes that such a thing exists.

"God! I'll just remember as you say now. But what does the student exchange program have to do with me? Not that I want to go to New York.”

Daisy now follows Jane on her New Mexico expedition, and perhaps a hammer will fall from the sky one day. It could even be that Thor's storyline has already begun.

This also means that the battle of New York is imminent!

Student exchange periods are as short as one month and as long as one year. The likelihood that a Chitauri invasion would occur soon is generally not great.

He didn't even think of going to New York this year or even next year. At least before the New York war ended.

Barbara crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows, unhappy with Mathison's words.

“There are only two student exchange slots left, and I can't possibly win one of them.”

Mathison tried to make a last resort.

“How do you know if you don't try? And I heard that exchange students who go to New York this time will also be eligible to participate in the Stark Group internship program for a week. ”

”I'm not interested in new energy or computers or anything, there's no big Stark Group project teasing me. Even if I leave, I will only embarrass the school.”

”I heard Stark Industries has built a new Stark Tower. It not only extends beyond the length of the Empire State Building, but also the tallest building in New York. Don't you want to see it?”

"No."

Barbara's idol is Batman, but she's also after Stark. Even if Tony's early lifestyle was embarrassing, he was highly skilled.

As a computer genius, the only way to master the field of artificial intelligence is to be considered a true hard worker. And the only development of Jarvis, the most advanced artificial intelligence on Earth, Stark duly reached the top of the modern computer science community.

So, as soon as she heard that she could go to a Stark Industries internship, Barbara became very interested.

But Mathison really doesn't want to go to New York.

"If I go to New York with you, then what about Charlie, who's gonna take care of it?"

Mathison said as soon as she pointed to Charlie IX.

"Then take Charlie there, or let my father take care of him."

Barbara insists that Mathison accompany her.

"Why do you want me to go? What's wrong with going alone?”

Mathison subconsciously spoke these words ...

As soon as she finished speaking, Barbara's face turned grim, she slammed the door and walked out.

"Well then, I'll leave you alone!"

———-

In the end, Mathison follows Barbara to school.

Barbara is determined to go to New York, but Mathison isn't sure if the New York battle is going to happen next year or not, so she must follow suit.

He thought about it: Stark is in New York and there are probably a lot of things he deserves to do there.

Certain things are inevitable. The Chitauri army is no big deal, Thanos is a real danger because he is the man behind all these events.

Mathison's current strength wasn't too bad. And it should no longer be a problem for him to target some outstanding items. After all, ordinary gems, even if they were considered valuable, would not be highly rated by the system.

In other words, which secret SHIELD base is hiding the outer space gems now?

It stole the Stone of Eternity which made him excited to think about it!

It shouldn't be hard to steal space gems and the New York battle is basically hard to escape…

Thinking of it like this, nothing beyond expectations could come up in New York.

Definitely not for any superficial reason to worry about Barbara's safety!

”Two annual exchange candidates between Gotham University and New York University have now been selected: Barbara Gordon and Mathison Fang!”

The University of Gotham's rector announces the results of the campaign at an election meeting for a student exchange slot.

”Starting next month, your second semester of study this year will resume at NYU.”

The headmaster gave the exchange students' qualification certificates to Mathison and Barbara, explaining the many precautions with a good face.
