Can You Fly?

Li Ang hung up the phone and marveled—was this the Money Power?

The principal of Louis Memorial Middle School had not only personally called to let Kara attend but had practically been 'deferential,' afraid she might refuse.

This was a prestigious school in Gotham, one ordinary people couldn't get into.

And now?

Not only were they begging Kara to enroll, but they were also offering a full scholarship, waiving all tuition fees...

All of this, naturally, was funded by Wayne Enterprises.

Clearly, it all came down to one name.

Bruce Wayne!

If Li Ang hadn't known Batman's true identity, he'd probably be feeling the same as Kara right now—like happiness had come knocking.

Such good fortune, landing on his head?

Still, Li Ang didn't say it out loud.

Kara laughed at that moment. "Godfather, don't worry about me. I'll be really careful this time."

Li Ang nodded.

This time, even if Kara exposed her abilities, the principal probably wouldn't expel her—he'd just set up a whole new class for her...

"Wayne Enterprises really contributes to society."

Kara's goodwill toward Wayne Enterprises was maxed out.

They immediately looked it up online and sure enough, found the news about this 'charity event.'

Besides Kara, plenty of others had received help too.

The Gotham Daily was heaping praise on Wayne Enterprises' decision.

Li Ang sighed at Bruce Wayne's bold move.

Making the dumplings just for the vinegar.

But that was how favors worked.

For Li Ang, at least it was better than going to the Penguin or Sofia Falcone.

At least Wayne Enterprises was a legitimate, legal corporation, not a gang.

No longer burdened by worry, Li Ang said, "Let's go out and have some fun today."

"Fun doing what?"

Kara was instantly thrilled.

After all, she was still just a little girl in her teens—playing was in her nature.

"Let's test your abilities."

Li Ang gave Kara a head pat.

"Huh? Godfather, weren't you always telling me to hide my powers?"

"Yes, but you also need to know your limits first. That way, when you do need to use them, you'll have full control."

Kara felt her godfather had changed a bit.

He wasn't just telling her to play it safe anymore.

For Kara, who dreamed of being a superhero, this was naturally a good thing.

Even ordinary kids dream of becoming superheroes one day, let alone someone as extraordinary as Kara.

Li Ang figured that if he didn't let Kara master her abilities, she'd end up becoming the 'Shame of Krypton' again someday.

After all, he'd just told Batman that Kara would become their god.

The God of Man!

So the two left Gotham and headed to a remote area in New Jersey.

Gotham was actually part of New Jersey, and one of its few big cities.

Much of America was sparsely populated.

As long as Kara didn't cause too big a commotion, it'd be fine.

"Godfather, what should I do?"

In the unmanned area, Kara asked eagerly.

To that, Li Ang simply said, "Can you fly?"

Kara's eyes went wide. She hadn't even thought of that, and now she was even more excited.

For them right now, without any instruments, there was no way to measure the limits of strength, speed, or anything else.

And Li Ang remembered one thing.

In response to readers' requests, we are now launching a VIP member ad-free feature.

Click to view.

The sky is the limit for humanity!

Of course, that definitely wasn't Kara.

Inspired by Li Ang, Kara crouched down.

As her body tensed, an invisible force field seemed to envelop her, with surrounding sand swirling around her.

'Bio-force Field.'

It could help Kara fly and also be extended to cover objects she wanted, like catching a person or object falling at high speed.

Of course, the main thing was that it protected her clothes from being torn apart by the high speed.

"Boom!"

Then, Kara released her tensed body, and her entire figure shot into the sky like a cannonball.

A deep crater was left on the ground.

Even with Li Ang's eyesight, he could only watch Kara disappear into the sky.

Kara's first attempt at flight was just an instinctive jump, but it took her at least several hundred to a thousand meters high.

For Kara, she only felt Earth's gravity gradually fade away, the world shrinking in her eyes, yet she could still clearly see every corner.

At that moment, she felt a sense of breaking limits and soaring freely, like a fledgling eagle wanting to see just how high the sky could go.

But soon, Kara felt gravity again.

She plummeted down, leaving a huge crater in the ground with a 'boom.' Seeing that she had startled people, she immediately stuck out her tongue, then leaped again.

Caught up in the fun, Kara didn't go back right away. On her second leap, she jumped higher than before, but still hadn't learned to fly.

The bio-force field enveloped her, keeping her from harm.

The third time...

She shot straight through the clouds and saw a passenger plane cruising.

"Mom, there's someone on the clouds!"

A bored child on the plane saw the scene outside the window and immediately called out to his mother beside him.

The mother turned to look, but there was nothing outside, only a pure white layer of clouds.

"You're seeing things. How could anyone be up that high?"

The mother smiled, stroked the child's hair, and began to explain.

"No way, I saw a person, a pretty girl, about my age."

The child insisted.

"Oh, maybe you're hitting puberty. Is there a girl you like?"

Hearing this from his mother, the child immediately blushed.

Mom was spot on; he did have a secret crush.

Could it really be his imagination?

Soon, he started to doubt whether he had seen wrong.

"Was it a bird? Or a plane?"

The child fell into deep confusion.

Kara had no idea she'd been spotted. She was already plummeting again.

And unfortunately, New Jersey was on the East Coast, with the entire eastern side being ocean.

So this leap, without the bio-force field supporting her flight, sent her straight crashing into the sea.

"Boom!"

The massive splash was like a nuclear bomb had been dropped into the ocean.

If there were professional judges, they'd definitely give this dive a zero.

"Pfft!"

Kara surfaced from the water, surrounded by fish scattering in all directions, frantically swimming away from her.

"Ha!"

"Hahaha!"

Kara burst out laughing, feeling incredibly exhilarated. She hadn't been this happy since arriving on Earth.

Freedom was in her nature. Using her superpowers without restraint felt this good.

Too bad she still hadn't learned to fly.

Just then, Kara saw a fishing boat heading her way in the distance, snapping her back to reality. She quickly swam toward the shore.

She still had to drag herself to school tomorrow!
