"By the way, what are we going to do about the surroundings? There are craters everywhere, scorch marks, and deep footprints from your Great Ape Transformation. If someone else sees this..." After sending Robet off with a meal, Clark looked around and hesitantly spoke.
"That's easy. You still have the strength, so you can clean everything up. Use your Laser Eyes to erase a layer of soil from the surrounding ground, then blow in some wind to bring dust over and bury everything. I know this will be a major test of your control over your Laser Eyes and Ki, but it also counts as training, doesn't it?" Robet looked at Clark with a beaming smile and coaxed him patiently.
"When you can control the power of your Laser Eyes with absolute precision, you should be able to develop an entirely new way to use the energy within your body!"
"Really?" Clark narrowed his eyes at Robet. He had a feeling Robet was tricking him, but Clark had no proof.
"Of course it's true! After all the help I've given you recently, haven't you noticed that your control over your own strength has improved?" Robet nodded earnestly, looking straight into Clark's eyes without the slightest evasion.
"Besides, my hand is injured. Though it's healing quickly, I can't do anything right now. Would you really have the heart to make me work while I'm injured?"
Robet: hugs
"I would!" Clark glared at Robet irritably. By now, he was certain Robet was trying to trick him. However, seeing that Robet's arm truly had not recovered, Clark could only shake his head helplessly. He released his Heat Vision and began physically smoothing out the uneven ground.
Still, Robet was not deliberately deceiving Clark. Clark had rarely used his Heat Vision, and he had never had many opportunities to develop new applications for it. This was indeed a rare opportunity for Clark, especially with such a large amount of work to do...
After Clark had flattened the ground and blown dust over it all, the two brothers quietly returned home. Clark even made sure outside the door that the Kents were already asleep before going inside.
Otherwise, if the Kents saw their two sons returning covered in dust and practically naked, they had no idea what kind of reaction their parents might have.
Those who knew the truth would understand that Superman and a Saiyan Great Ape had fought a battle. Those who didn't would probably think that Superman and a Saiyan had gone ragged and taken to begging in the street!
The next day, Robet still rose early to train before heading toward Midtown School. Although his arm had not fully recovered, it would basically be fine as long as he avoided collisions and fighting.
What Robet did not know was that Kara had also gotten up early that morning. She had begun watching the direction of Kansas from early on, determined to find Robet, force a chance encounter, get closer to him, uncover the secrets surrounding him, and see whether she could touch his tail...
"How can he eat so much so early in the morning? I never saw him eat this much at school... Wait, if he ate this much at school, he'd probably scare everyone to death." Kara soon spotted Robet eating voraciously. Her mind rapidly analyzed the route he would take to school, and she set up an ambush in advance.
After a while, Robet entered Midtown's urban district and slowed down as he headed toward school. Suddenly, he sensed a powerful Ki along his route. The owner of that Ki was none other than Kara!
"Is that Kara? A coincidence? Or..." Robet's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not stop. Instead, he inconspicuously changed routes to see whether Kara would move as well.
If it was a coincidence, then missing each other was no big deal. But if it wasn't...
"Hm? He noticed me?" Kara watched as Robet mysteriously turned onto another road. A trace of confusion flashed through her eyes, and she could not help muttering, "Can he see me too? Does he have the same vision as me? If so, wouldn't that mean he's seen me completely naked?"
Kara: (*////▽////*)
"No movement? Am I overthinking this?" After changing routes, Robet noticed that Kara's Ki showed no sign of moving. He breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to ignore her and continue toward school. But at that moment, Kara's Ki began moving at high speed, appearing at the corner of a street ahead of him.
"..." The corner of Robet's mouth twitched. He realized that he had not been overthinking things. Kara really had come for him—and her movement speed had exceeded his expectations!
"As expected, Ki can't be the only standard for judging someone's strength!" By the time the thought flashed through Robet's mind, Kara had already appeared in front of him.
"What a coincidence!" Kara greeted him energetically, a blush spread across her face. "Do you live around here? Then we're headed the same way. We can walk together from now on... Hm? You're injured? What happened?"
As Kara spoke, her gaze suddenly focused on Robet's arm. Through her vision, she could see several cracks in the bones of his right arm. Although they were healing at a superhuman speed, it would still take some time before they completely recovered.
This left Kara deeply puzzled. She could tell that Robet's physical strength far surpassed that of an ordinary person. Combined with the exquisite skill he had displayed yesterday, Kara could not understand how someone like him had ended up injured...
Moreover, judging from how quickly the injury was healing, Robet must have been seriously hurt when it happened!
"Hm? You can see my injury?" Robet's gaze sharpened. He looked at Kara suspiciously. The wounds on the surface of his right arm had already healed completely; only the bones had yet to mend. If Kara could see his injury, that meant she could see his bones!
Robet could not help thinking of Clark. In particular, when he had encountered Kara yesterday, he had already felt that her aura was somewhat similar to Clark's!
"Uh..." Kara's expression stiffened slightly when she heard Robet's question. Her eyes darted around as she prepared to come up with an explanation. Then her ears suddenly twitched. Her expression abruptly changed, and a red light flashed through her eyes as a beam of Heat Vision shot uncontrollably toward the ground.
Robet: ┌(.Д.)┐ What the hell? Was she trying to silence me?
"Call in sick for me!" A thought had only just flashed through Robet's mind when Kara vanished. The next moment, her voice reached his ears. At the same time, Robet sensed her Ki speeding away, gradually disappearing at a speed far beyond his current capabilities.
