Chapter 4

Mr. Hall has also started the car and is preparing to close the door, then go to the school gate to pick people up.

Just then.

Peter rushes out from afar, and almost when the school bus door is about to close, he squeezes on from the outside.

Mr. Hall is startled.

"Holy..."

It seems that Mr. Hall, thinking it might not be polite to swear, swallows the words back, then looks at Peter who squeezed on, panting, and then looks at Flash Thompson and the other four who also ran over outside.

Flash Thompson and his followers did not get on the school bus, but stood outside, looking at Peter who got on.

Mr. Hall's gaze sweeps over Peter who got on the bus and Flash Thompson outside the bus, then frowns at Flash Thompson: "Hey, are you guys getting on the bus?"

Flash Thompson looks at Mr. Hall, says nothing, just turns around and leaves dejectedly with his three followers.

Bullying classmates is one thing, bullying in front of school staff is another matter.

He is a bully, not a stupid bully.

Peter is also not stupid, so after waiting for Mr. Hall to close the door, he says thanks to Mr. Hall.

Mr. Hall looks at Peter, says nothing.

He knows what's going on, but as long as there is no bullying on his bus, it's fine.

As for other places?

He is just a school bus driver, he can't manage it, and it's not his job to manage it.

Peter also doesn't speak again, but turns around, preparing to find a place to sit, and then sees Hawk sitting in the very back by the window, thinks for a while, and walks over.

"Thanks."

"..."

Hawk, who was looking out the window in a daze, thinking about the early morning which is also the next day, comes back to his senses, looks at Peter standing in front of him, expressionless: "I didn't help you with anything, you don't need to thank me."

After saying this, he turns his gaze back to the window and ignores Peter.

He doesn't know if Peter has mutated now.

Most likely he hasn't become the Spider-Man in his memory yet.

However...

Even if Peter has mutated, he doesn't want to deal with Peter.

To be precise, he doesn't want to deal with any superheroes.

Superheroes sound good, but in reality, they are closely linked to all kinds of disasters.

Before he had the cheat, he never thought about rushing to deal with these superheroes. He just wanted to live longer. Reborn once, at least live to a natural death.

If possible, study hard, make progress every day, and strive to live more freely.

Now that the cheat is online, Hawk's original intention has not changed.

It's just that...

From living more freely at the beginning, it has become, if possible, living longer and living more freely.

But no matter which one, the premise to achieve this goal is the same.

One sentence.

Don't get involved in the mess of superheroes.

So, even after he entered school, knowing Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, he didn't have any thoughts of taking the initiative to get to know them.

But Gwen is different.

No choice.

Gwen is their student assistant in the eleventh grade, but dating Gwen Stacy, the recognized number one girlfriend in American comics?

Hawk doesn't have this thought, at least not now.

He is not qualified to talk about love yet.

Peter looks at Hawk, who turned his head to look at the scenery again after saying this, opens his mouth, wanting to say something more, but finally thinks about it, chooses to shut up, turns around and sits down on the seat on the right.

Soon.

The school bus drives to the school gate, and after Mr. Hall opens the door, the students waiting outside for the last free school bus also get on the bus one after another.

The originally quiet environment in the bus quickly becomes noisy.

One hour later.

Jackson Heights arrives.

Mr. Hall, who opened the door, looks at Hawk who is already standing at the bus door and says goodbye with a smile.

"See you tomorrow, Hawk."

"See you tomorrow, Mr. Hall."

Hawk also says goodbye politely, walks off the school bus, and then walks towards an old five-story apartment building with mottled orange exterior walls not far away.

The property rights of this old apartment building belong to the New York City Housing Authority.

Hawk's apartment is on the fifth floor. Although it is not large, it has one advantage: he can easily go to the roof of the apartment through the fire escape outside the window.

Soon.

Hawk, who returned home, puts his backpack on the table, then takes out the plastic bag containing the washed clothes from the backpack, finds two clothes hangers, opens the window, and follows the fire escape outside to the roof of the apartment.

After Hawk hangs the clothes on the roof, he walks to the railing of the roof, supports the railing with both hands, and looks up at the planes that occasionally sweep across the sky, preparing to fly to LaGuardia Airport not far away to land, or take off from LaGuardia Airport.

Blowing the wind while counting planes.

This is one of the few hobbies he uses to relax.

However, he has recently added a new hobby.

Watching the stars!

Night falls.

Hawk, who sits on the ground leaning against the apartment ventilation shaft behind him, enjoys the summer night breeze while looking up at the starry sky that appears after night falls.

The starry sky is vast.

Stars are dotted.

Maybe it's an illusion.

Since half a year ago, Hawk always feels that as he continues to persist in throwing ten thousand punches every day, he has a feeling of being connected to the vast starry sky.

This feeling is even stronger today.

Last night, looking with the naked eye, some constellations were still a bit blurry, but today they have become exceptionally clear.

Pegasus!

Draco!

Cygnus!

Andromeda!

Phoenix!

Lacerta!

The forty-eight constellations symbolizing the forty-eight Bronze Saints are now in Hawk's eyes.

It seems.

Tonight.

The entire universe will twinkle for him!!
