"I never even said which way I was going! How can you say it's not the same way?!" Kara Danvers watched Robet leave the classroom without looking back and shouted angrily.
Kara: s(｀ヘ;)ゞ
Ever since Kara started school, even while hiding most of her strength, no one had ever dared to ignore her the way Robet did.
"No matter which way you're going, it's not the same way as mine..." After leaving the classroom, Robet's lips curled slightly as he muttered under his breath. Honestly, this extraordinary person's behavior had exceeded his expectations. Not only had she successfully blended into ordinary life, she seemed to be doing even better than Clark.
"Hmph! Then I'll just have to see which way you're going! Tomorrow, I'll pretend to bump into you and see how you avoid me... Hmm?" Robet hadn't expected Kara to hear what he'd muttered after leaving the classroom. She smirked smugly as she watched him go, but then her expression darkened, and she spoke with displeasure.
"Didn't I already warn them not to bother Robet? Do they think I can't see them once they leave school? Uh... technically, I really shouldn't be able to see them... No, I promised that guy I'd take care of this trouble. I can't let them make a fool of me!"
Kara instinctively rushed forward, but stopped after a couple of steps. She'd seen Robet glance toward a certain spot, and she vaguely guessed that he'd already noticed the classmates hiding there. That left Kara feeling conflicted.
"Forget it. I can stop them once, but I can't stop them every time. Besides, his body is far tougher than an ordinary person's. Maybe it's fine to let him handle things himself. It'll also give me a chance to see what else makes him special!" After thinking it over, Kara decided to watch and see what other surprises Robet might have in store.
Even if something really did go wrong, she could rush over in time to stop it. Kara had plenty of confidence in her speed!
"I knew it wouldn't be that easy to settle this!" Robet sensed someone following him, but instead of getting angry, he felt relieved. At least this proved Kara hadn't used some special ability he didn't know about to resolve the matter. At the same time, Robet began thinking about how he would deal with it.
Hypnosis probably wouldn't work. Without weaving a story, it was hard to influence someone for long, and an outside force could easily break the hypnotic effect. Making up a story would be too much trouble, and these classmates weren't worth going to such lengths for.
"Then I'll just beat them up. There's no rule saying I can't take on five at once. I just need to avoid using superhuman strength or speed!" Robet quickly made up his mind. Just then, he raised an eyebrow as one of his classmates quietly approached.
Robet remembered him. When Kara had said she thought Robet was cute, he'd been the only boy in the class to look at him enviously, without showing any jealousy or resentment.
Robet remembered his name. It was Barry Allen, the class's top student and a bookworm, as well as a teacher's pet. The main reason Robet remembered Barry's name was that the teachers liked him so much they called on him in almost every class...
"Robet, you need to get out of here. Demit and the others won't do anything to you at school out of respect for Kara, but after school, that might change..." Barry pretended to be passing by Robet. He didn't even stop, just quietly delivered his warning before walking straight on.
It was clear that Barry didn't want to get dragged into trouble, but he also didn't want to see a new classmate get bullied. It would be best if Robet ran off after hearing his warning!
"Interesting." Robet watched Barry walk away and give him a little signal. He couldn't help smiling. He liked people like Barry. At least they were much kinder than those who stood by and did nothing, especially since Barry had managed to warn him while keeping himself out of trouble.
Still, liking Barry didn't mean Robet had to do as he'd said and hurry away. Even if he avoided trouble this time, he wouldn't be able to avoid it the next time. Better to settle it once and for all.
With that in mind, Robet headed toward a secluded alley. He had no intention of teaching Demit and the others a lesson in the middle of the street, and they felt the same way. Making a scene would be bad for everyone...
"That kid went into that secluded alley. Hey, he picked a good spot!" Demit exchanged glances with the four around him and grinned. "Come on. Let's teach him a lesson and make him stay away from my Kara!"
"What do you mean, your Kara? She's my Kara!" Kane, Jeffrey, Felipe, and Jimmy all glared at Demit and objected at once. Then they turned to glare at one another, like roosters squaring off, and declared with scornful confidence:
"Kara's mine. Losers like you don't stand a chance of becoming her boyfriend. Kara would never be interested in you!"
Yes, unlike the trio of bullies at Robet's previous school, the people looking for trouble with him now were Kara's admirers. They only wanted to teach Robet a lesson and make him stay away from Kara.
As for the fact that Kara had been the one to approach Robet, take an interest in him, and call him cute, the five of them had conveniently forgotten all about it.
"Enough. Let's not turn on each other. When it comes to pursuing Kara, we'll each have to rely on our own abilities. But she's never shown any of us this much interest. Robet is our biggest threat, and we have to make him stay away from her!" After a long pause, Demit took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.
"Fine! Hurry up. Don't let him get away!" The other four exchanged glances, then quickly headed in the direction Robet had gone.
"Honestly! You think you can pursue me? You're all weaker than ants. I'm afraid I'll get too close and accidentally squash you..." Back at school, Kara listened to Demit and the others and muttered contemptuously.
"Robet is much more interesting. He's different from all of them. Could he be nonhuman, an alien? Or did a genetic mutation turn him into this?"
As she spoke, Kara's eyes lit up as she watched Robet's location, eager to see how he would deal with Demit and the others.
If Demit and the others could hear what Kara said, who knew how they would react... Oh, they were hopeless suck-ups. They'd pretend they hadn't heard her and carry on living in their own little world.
