Chapter 34

Hawk looked surprised.

Gwen, however, remained silent as she watched Hawk's expression.

Fake.

Too fake.

Gwen couldn't help but offer a heartfelt assessment.

"Your acting is so fake."

"Sorry."

Hawk shrugged: "I'm not a professional actor."

Yes.

Gwen had been outside for a while.

To be precise, she had arrived just as Peter was about to have a showdown with him, but she stopped when she heard the commotion inside the gymnasium.

Gwen thought Hawk and Peter wouldn't notice.

But...

After awakening his Cosmo and mastering the first five senses, Hawk could hear not just Gwen's footsteps, but even the sound of leaves falling behind the gymnasium, if he wanted to.

Peter, with his Spider-Sense, was the same, not to mention that this version of Peter was a genuine, post-mutation Spider-Man.

It was just that Peter had likely only recently mutated and hadn't fully adapted yet, and Hawk's punch from earlier had left him in shock.

But with a hint from Hawk's eyes, Peter quickly reacted and caught the sound of Gwen's breathing outside the gymnasium.

So, the two tacitly chose to keep quiet.

Look.

This was yet another reason why Hawk liked the original Spider-Man the most.

He wouldn't comment on The Amazing Spider-Man.

But the Tech Spider-Man?

Heh.

Hawk didn't doubt for a second that if it were the Holland-era Tech Spider-Man, that guy probably wouldn't even understand what he meant, and might even keep rambling on and on.

No.

Not might, definitely.

Hawk thought to himself.

Just then.

Peter also walked out from the back, and looking at Gwen outside, a trace of surprise appeared on his face: "Gwen, you haven't left yet?"
