MTL - As Superman’s Younger Brother, I Became a Native of the Motherland-Chapter 3
It's Eric!
This bastard!
Even as an older brother who has always been good-natured, anger rose in Clark's heart at this time.
Get into trouble, but don't care about what happens next.
It seems that the life and death of the whole car has nothing to do with him!
Although I knew that Eric's personality was extreme, I didn't expect the other party to be so indifferent!
What he wants to do most now is to go back and fix the other party!
Holding back his anger, Clark grabbed the back of the school bus and dragged the school bus upwards.
The "son of Kryptonian" who just awakened his powers has no problem lifting the school bus.
But at this time, the school bus sank under the river and was filled with tons of water. In addition, the resistance at the bottom of the water was far greater than that in the air, which made him extremely difficult!
"what......!"
Roaring, the muscles on his arms protruded explosively.
The strength of the whole body is mobilized, and the steel-like cells are screaming!
Muscle bursts like "click, click, click" burst under the water.
The school bus is slowly lifted up
"No! It's still too slow!"
Clark's eyes flashed anxiously.
At this speed, the flooded students would never be able to hold the school bus up by themselves.
"Eric!"
Anxious Clark shouted towards Eric on the bridge.
He knew his younger brother's strength. If his younger brother made a move, he would definitely easily drag the school bus out of the river.
And Eric's hearing is far better than himself, he can definitely hear what he is saying.
"If you continue to stand idly by, I will tell father and mother!"
Clark, who had just entered high school at this time, resorted to the "sue parents" method that had been very useful before.
But the "Sue Parents" Dafa, which has been very useful before, is now invalid.
Eric stood on the bridge, still motionless.
Clark's strength was gradually exhausted, and the speed of lifting the school bus to the surface was getting slower and slower.
Just when he was in despair, the water burst open.
It's as if the launched missile splashes into the water!
The next second, Eric came to him, grabbed the school bus with one hand, and yanked it up.
The school bus quickly departed from the bottom of the water and went straight to the surface.
boom!
The orange school bus broke through the water with a loud popping sound.
The water splashes raised around them fell from the sky one after another.
It was like a sudden rainstorm.
The students who are drowning and struggling are breathing fresh air for the rest of their lives.
The dazzling dim sunlight shone, and everyone had a sense of unreality.
.....
The school bus was parked in the river near the bank, and the students who survived the disaster were either shivering under blankets, or crying in the arms of their parents.
Police cars and ambulances are parked on the bridge, and the police and medical staff are always busy.
Clark, draped in a blanket handed to him by the nurse, stared blankly at the pebbles beneath his feet.
His chest heaved slightly, showing that he was not at peace in his heart at this time.
Eric stood aside, staring blankly at a few female classmates not far away.
Several female classmates were rescued by Clark in the carriage just now.
But also saw Clark holding up the school bus in the back.
Of course, because Eric was too fast, the girls didn't see Eric, they just thought Clark dragged the school bus out of the river.
That's why the girls kept staring at Clark with weird and complicated eyes.
"Hey! Eric, Clark!"
A familiar voice sounded from behind Eric.
Looking back, it was Jonathan who came running out of breath.
Jonathan, who was wearing overalls, had not changed his clothes. He must have been working on the farm and ran over when he heard the news.
With a worried look on his face, Jonathan, whose hair was slightly gray, grabbed Eric's shoulder and stretched out his hand to stroke his face nervously, "Son, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"That's good... Clark."
After confirming that the younger son was all right, Jonathan walked to Clark who was sitting on the ground, squatted down, and stroked the eldest son's face.
"Clark, are you not hurt?"
"No, Dad."
Clark smiled reluctantly at his father.
"Let's go back first."
Jonathan looked at the school bus near the river bank, frowned, and patted Eric and Clark on the shoulders.
And take off the coat and put it on Eric.
Chapter 4 Rebel Clark
Kent Farm.
The atmosphere of today's dinner was a little dignified.
"Miss Dejardan called. No student was unfortunate. However, a few students choked on a lot of water when they were in a coma and needed to be hospitalized for observation."
Jonathan said while stirring the mashed potatoes.
When talking, he looked at Eric and Clark intentionally or unintentionally.
"It should be the luck of the misfortune."
Martha poured Clark a glass of milk affectionately and patted his hand on the table, "The two brothers shouldn't blame themselves for this."
Jonathan's serious eyes didn't take his eyes off the two of them.
"Clark, you dragged the school bus out of the river?"
"Yes, I wanted to do that, but it didn't work."
Clark told the truth, "So I asked Eric to help me."
"Eric?"
Jonathan turned his attention to Eric, who had been tasting beef stew in silence.
Compared to hot dogs, mac and cheese, and pizza, he prefers this kind of celestial goulash.
This is more in line with his eating habits.
"Sorry, Dad, I didn't want to. But Clark convinced me his way."
Eric put down his knife and fork and replied in a calm tone.
Yes, he had no intention of helping in the first place.
After all... I didn't aspire to be a superhero, what's the matter of other people's life and death?
Since his template is "Motherlander", it means that the system also believes that he is a complete asshole.
Isn't it normal for "bad guys" to stand by and watch?
If the high school students who insulted Jonathan and Martha hadn't been hospitalized, he would have looked for another opportunity to repair each other.
It's just that because he was an orphan in his previous life, he felt the long-lost affection in this family, and thus developed feelings for Jonathan and Martha.
Otherwise, no matter what way Clark uses, there is no way to threaten him.
"Ugh......!"
Hearing Eric's answer, Jonathan sighed heavily, holding his hands together to support his aching forehead.
He didn't know how to speak.
The two sons in front of them have extreme contrasts in character.
Clark is simple and kind, helpful, eager to use his power, and believes that he can help others and realize his own value.
He knew that Clark didn't fit in at school, and he wasn't as presentable as his younger brother at home, so he was eager to be recognized by others, and eager to display his extraordinary power without hesitation.
Eric is the opposite of Clark.
Calm, smart, low-key, forbearance and restraint, he has a clear understanding of the rules of social operation, but lacks sympathy and empathy for others, and never shows his strength in front of outsiders.
Sometimes even to the point of indifference or even indifference.
Like this school bus incident.
He did not agree with Clark exposing himself for saving people, because he wanted his two sons to be ordinary people.
But he doesn't agree with Eric's bystander behavior, because he doesn't want his son to be a person without sympathy and empathy.
So now he is full of contradictions.
It would be nice if the personalities of the two could be balanced.
At this moment, as a father, Jonathan suddenly had such an idea in his heart.
Lift your head and shake ridiculous thoughts out of your head.
He felt that Eric would understand his intentions, so he did not plan to explain anything to Eric.
He turned his head and said directly to Clark: "There are always accidents in life, and we can't stop them. But Clark, sometimes, you have to know how to hide yourself."
Clark, who had been silent for a long time, had a rebellious mentality at this time, and asked his father: "Like Eric as indifferent? Dad, I am saving people!"
He didn't say that Eric was the culprit behind the out-of-control school bus, so Jonathan didn't know that Eric was the one who started it all.
"Of course, Clark, we know you're saving people, but like we said, you have to hide your secrets."
Jonathan tried not to sound offensive in any way.
"Then what do I do? Watch them drown?"
Clark's tone gradually intensified.
He didn't understand why his father gradually became like Eric.
"Clark, there are things in this world that are more important than your own life, and there are things that are more important than your relatives and friends."
Jonathan's tone was full of heaviness, "If people find out about your and Eric's superpowers, the world will be turned upside down. Our beliefs, our..."
After a pause, Jonathan said: "People's ideas, everything will be subverted."
He looked at his wife, smiled and patted Martha's hand to indicate that he was all right, and asked Clark, "Clark, do you remember the first time Eric showed his abilities? Terrified! People are not ready for this world changer."
"So, God made me and Eric become like this?"
Clark didn't understand what his father said, pursed his lips and looked at his father stubbornly.
Then he glanced at Eric, who was sitting silently on the side, and stood up disappointed.
"I'm fed up with what you've said, I can't act rashly and hide my abilities..."
Clark's tone intensified.
