Who Gave You the Pressure?
"From now on, you are responsible for taking care of him. If he dies, I will turn your souls into candles."
After saying that, Kino turned and left.
Deadpool quickly followed.
"Boss, you're so handsome, can I touch you?"
"No."
"Please, boss, I'll let you touch me too."
"... If you say another word, I'll deduct 100,000 from your bonus."
"..."
Watching the Demon King disappear into the shadows, the Arkham graduates exchanged bewildered glances.
"What to do?"
"What can we do? Of course, we have to take care of the Joker. Do you want to become a candle?"
"The Joker must have done too many bad things to have caught the Demon King's eye."
"I want to be a good person in the future."
Where did the Joker go?
"Find it quickly!"
A group of people got up and began searching.
"Found him! He was in the toilet, I couldn't stop him, this time it's the dog's spirit! Ugh~"
A series of retching sounds came from the toilet.
DC has come to a temporary halt.
Back in the Marvel universe, Kino arrives at the company and finds Banner, Otto, Connors, Hank, and Killian.
"Young Master, what are your instructions?"
Banner asked, "There must be something important that you've gathered so many people here."
"Here are some things for you; figure out how to use them."
Kino threw out the Amber Gold, Dionysus Factor, promethium, and Eternal Stone he had collected this time.
"Such powerful radiation!"
Two mechanical tentacles extended from Otto's back; one scanned the metal objects, while the other displayed various data.
The omnipotent tentacles, improved by Doctor Octopus's technology, can be equipped with various small devices, making one person a mobile laboratory.
Others also gathered around to look at the data; everyone had been injected with Enhancement Potion 3.0, so a little radiation wouldn't be a problem.
"It's amazing that the ore contains energy."
Hank took out an Eternal Stone ore.
"These metals possess magical powers. Be careful when you're studying them, and don't blow them up."
Kino then introduced the characteristics of each metal, and the group of doctors, Banner, listened with increasing interest, eagerly moving the metals into the laboratory warehouse.
Kino didn't disturb them and flew towards Tony's seaside villa.
As soon as he landed, he heard the electronic surveillance camera at the entrance scanning him.
"Hello, Mr. Kino."
"Jarvis, I'm looking for Tony."
Kino greeted them.
"The professor is giving a lesson to Miss Lorna in the laboratory."
Jarvis opened the door.
"OK, I'll go find them myself."
When Kino arrived at the lab, he saw Tony explaining something to a projection screen.
Lorna across from her listened attentively, occasionally glancing down to take notes.
Her gaze was focused and determined, and her long green hair was casually tied back, making her look very capable.
Tony glanced at Kino by the door and said.
"Alright, review what I explained today. If you still have questions, summarize them next month and I'll answer them one by one."
"Yes, Mr. Tony."
Lorna packed her things and prepared to leave.
He turned around and saw Kino. He froze for a moment, then regained his composure and gave Kino a cold nod.
"Hello, boss."
"Lorna, long time no see. How have you been?"
"Great, every day is fulfilling, I'm learning new things."
Thinking about her life during this time, a smile unconsciously appeared on Lorna's face.
"Yes, don't study too hard. Sometimes it's important to balance work and rest."
Kino asked with concern.
"Okay, I understand, boss. I have something else to do, could you let me have a turn?"
After Lorna finished speaking, she lowered her head to organize the documents in her arms.
"Oh? I'm sorry."
Kino then realized he was blocking the door.
Lorna hurried out until she reached a corner, where she leaned against the wall and slowly squatted down.
"What am I doing? My hair is oily from not washing it for two days, and my clothes are this old style, will I smell?"
Lorna's mind was in turmoil, and she covered her face with her hands.
Her heart was pounding, and recalling her performance when facing Kino, she felt utterly terrible.
Normally, she dresses however is convenient, but only in front of Kino does she dress up in a youthful and glamorous way, trying out different styles to see which one he likes.
Lorna bit her lip, inwardly blaming herself. "Why am I so unlucky today? Why did I have to run into him, and in this state at that?"
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became, as if all her previous efforts to attract Kino had vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Lorna, what's wrong?"
Lorna looked up.
Miss Pepper.
Pepper, holding a stack of documents awaiting Tony's signature, looked at Lorna's pitiful appearance, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes as if she had thought of something.
"Did Tony bully you? Come on, I'll take you to beat him up."
Putting down the documents in her hand, Pepper rolled up her sleeves, ready to settle things.
"Wait, Miss Pepper, the teacher didn't bully me."
Lorna quickly grabbed Pepper's arm, but was still dragged along.
"Mrs. Peggy, Mr. Kino just came to see you."
Pepper is now living with Tony, and Jarvis has changed his address to Mrs.
Peggy paused, knowing Tony had told her about Lorna and Kino. She turned to look at Lorna, her smile full of mockery.
"Lorna ~"
Lorna let go of her hand and stood still.
Her cheeks flushed instantly, her eyes darting away, avoiding Peggy's gaze, her hands fidgeting nervously with her clothes.
Seeing Lorna's hurried manner, Kino said to Tony.
"Tony, not everyone is as gifted as you. She's only an adult; don't put too much pressure on her studies."
Tony gave him a look as if he were an idiot.
"Do you think I put pressure on her?"
"Or is it still me? I didn't do anything, uh... what's with that look?"
Kino was puzzled.
It's because you didn't do anything.
Tony shook his head helplessly. His student still had a long way to go. He'd tell her about his dating experiences in the next class.
"Speak up, what do you want? You wouldn't come looking for me if there wasn't something wrong."
"Look at what you're saying! I brought you a lot of good stuff this time. Do you have anywhere to put your things here? Maybe I should look for something that can protect against radiation."
Kino looked around at his surroundings; all he saw were sophisticated instruments and desks, with hardly any space to put anything.
"Nice one?"
Tony became interested; anyone Kino called that couldn't be too bad.
Tony led Kino to the basement, where the armor was made and the Arc Reactor was stored.
Kino tossed out four boxes of Promethium and the Eternal Stone, explaining their characteristics.
Tony used the robotic arm to retrieve a piece of the Eternal Stone and begin examining it.
"You got this in DC, right? The energy in it is very interesting. I wonder if it can be synthesized artificially."
Tony stared intently at the screen in front of him.
"The energy inside is magic; the chances of synthesizing it artificially are slim, but you can give it a try."
Kino didn't dare to make any absolute statements. Tony could create a time travel machine, then artificially synthesizing magic wasn't impossible.
Tony tested Promethium again.
