Marvel: I Awake the Little Cosmos-Chapter 51: Dr. Lizard Strikes Again!
"Itβs Peter, isnβt it!"
"..."
During the physics class. π³ππππππππ πππ.π°π π¦
Hawk glanced at the text on the little note pushed in front of him, raised his eyebrows involuntarily, and gave a quick look at Gwen sitting next to him.
Gwen gestured toward the little note in front of Hawk.
Hawk smiled noncommittally and returned the note to Gwen.
He made no comments.
Itβs one thing that Gwen guessed on her own, but itβs another if he nodded in agreement.
The same old saying.
The Spider Spirit didnβt betray him, so naturally, he wouldnβt betray Peter.
Soon.
After class.
Gwen, holding her books, walked together with Hawk toward the locker corridor, pondering whether Spider-Man could be Peter.
She felt it should be Peter.
After all, Hawkβs network was too simple, and considering Peter was previously a weak presence at school, suddenly having a rise out of nowhere.
Most classmates believed it might be because Peter was training behind Hawk.
This rumor led to the belief that Peter might be Hawkβs only friend.
Others might not know, but Gwen knew very well.
But precisely because Gwen knew Peter didnβt become strong through training with Hawk, she was hesitant to be sure.
Because itβs all too simple.
Itβs like a weak student and a top student tackling the same problem.
The weak student looks at it, "Wow, I got it, choose A," and fills in the answer without a thought.
But the top student looks at the answer almost clearly written out and ponders.
"Could this question have a trap?"
Gwen is just like that.
Sheβs fairly certain Spider-Man must be Peter, but since she hasnβt seen it with her own eyes, sheβs unwilling to assertively claim.
After a while.
Hawk opened his locker, placed his physics book inside, and then took out his shoulder bag.
"Iβm heading to Lady Snowβs office."
"Alright."
Gwen also took out her backpack from her locker, nodded: "Then Iβll wait for you in the library."
Hawk nodded, shouldered his bag, and walked toward counselor Lady Snowβs office.
The day after tomorrow is the weekend.
But the tenth is Monday, if he wants to take leave that day, he must apply today; otherwise, applying next Monday is no different from telling after acting.
Gwen was heading toward the library.
Tomorrow is the weekend and also the first-grade dance day for the twelfth grade; she needs to confirm the details with the dance organizing committee before the end of school today.
After all, sheβs the type not to attend dances.
But Gwen is the kind who values studying over dances and thus doesnβt participate, but because she is a grade assistant, even if she doesnβt attend, she is responsible for the dance affairs.
But now sheβs with Hawk, though unspoken, she still wants to attend the graduation dance with Hawk if possible.
Just not sure if Hawk will agree.
Should, maybe, possibly?
Gwen thinks somewhat uncertainly.
Just as Hawk and Gwen temporarily parted ways, one heading to the office building, and the other to the library.
Underneath the ground.
In the filthy, putrid, sewage-ridden underground sewer, accompanied by the gradually clear sounds of something like a lizardβs hissing from afar, a huge lizard monster, like a swimming champion, cut through the sewage, and then, with a swoosh, burst out of the sewage, landing at the crossroads of the interconnected underground pipes.
"Midtown High School!"
"Gwen Stacy."
"Capture her, threaten Hawk!"
"Psst, psst!"
At this moment, the completely Lizard-man-formed Dr. Lizard rolled his compound eyes, flicking his crimson tongue, and the words whispered like a demon seemed branded like a stamp in his brain.
Soon.
Standing at the crossroads of the underground pipes, Dr. Lizard seemed to smell something.
The next second.
With another hiss, Dr. Lizard, like a streak of light, burst again into an underground pipe, touching the ground with his limbs, like a true reptile, quickly heading toward Midtown High Schoolβs... student restroom.
A ninth-grade student, just enrolled this year, was squatting on a toilet, playing on his phone.
Suddenly.
Entering puberty, the ninth-grade student, whose face had developed many spots, sensed something amiss.
The ground seemed to tremble.
And...
Some unknown chill, at this moment, was whisking towards his buttocks.
The ninth-grade student was a bit perplexed.
"Whatβs going on?"
"Earthquake..."
"Boom!"
Just as the ninth-grade student wondered if it might be an earthquake, a sudden surge of force from below unexpectedly sent him flying along with the toilet.
With a thud.
Along with the toilet, the teammate, unexpectedly thrown out of the cubicle, was shocked.
The other students also in the restroom watched as the student shot out like a cannon from the cubicle and were stunned.
But they quickly reacted.
In sight.
With the cubicle door removed, the ground was tearing, followed by a green claw embedded in the floor tiles, spewing a few sparks.
The next second.
Hiss!
Dr. Lizard, emerging from the restroom floor, steadied and spread open his arms, hissing as if announcing his arrival.
"Ssss!"
"Hmm?"
Just after finishing chemistry class, Peter returned to the resting corridor, preparing to retrieve his backpack, his gaze fell on the hairs standing erect on his arm one after another.
Before he had time to react, several screams instantly shattered the original leisure atmosphere of the resting corridor.
"Ah!"
"God, Lizard People."
"Run!"
"Waa, Mom, I donβt want to go to school anymore."
The restroom door was suddenly pushed open, and the students who were just in the restroom escaped in panic in Peterβs direction, simultaneously shouting warnings to the other students.
Behind them followed a student whose pants were seemingly frightened worn-up.
He didnβt seem to notice that his pants werenβt properly worn.
Clearly.
He was frightened terribly, probably would be a long time before he dared to go to the bathroom alone.
And just as the rest of the studentsβ gaze fell on those few who ran out of the restroom.
With a loud crash.
The restroom wall shattered.
Dr. Lizardβs figure instantly appeared in the other studentsβ view.
"Holy shit!"
"Lizard People!"
"..."
