Eunuch Flash: No--!!!

Flash lay on the ground, rolling around in pain, not even knowing which part of his body he should cover first.

The fingers of his left hand were twisted into a mangled mess, while a piercing agony radiated from his groin.

He could not understand it. He had clearly thrown a punch at Peter, so why was he the one who had gone down?

What a joke!

With the enhanced reflexes granted by the Lizard Serum and Makoto Kyogoku's karate expertise protecting him, how could Peter possibly have been hit by Flash?

The instant Flash threw his punch, Peter had already dodged sideways with speed far beyond that of an ordinary person.

That dodge sent Flash's fist smashing heavily into the plastic backrest of a school bus seat, fracturing the bones in his hand on the spot.

Then, with lightning speed, before anyone else could see what had happened, Peter drove a knee straight into Flash's vital area.

He had deliberately held back with that blow, using less than one percent of his strength.

Otherwise, it would not have been just Flash's vital area that exploded...

Dead silence.

The bus was deathly quiet. Everyone first looked at Peter, then at Flash, who lay on the floor curled up like a shrimp.

For a moment, they all wondered if they were still dreaming.

What had just happened?

Why was Flash the one lying on the floor?

Just as everyone was filled with uncertainty, Peter suddenly raised both hands and spoke with an innocent expression.

"Hey, you all saw that, right? I never even touched him. He just suddenly fell over on his own!"

Seeing Peter proclaim his innocence, everyone nodded at first, but then they could not help whispering among themselves.

"Peter never even touched Flash, so why does Flash look like that?"

"Yeah, with Peter's skinny arms and legs, even if he fought back, he couldn't hurt Flash. What kind of act is this guy putting on?"

Amid the crowd's murmurs, Peter looked at Flash. Then, suddenly wearing an expression of realization mixed with lingering fear, he spoke.

"Flash, I could put up with you bullying me before, but are you trying to frame me with such a despicable method now? Do you want to get me expelled from school, or even thrown in jail?"

"We're classmates. I have no grudge against you. Why are you doing this to me?"

Huh?

So Flash was... faking an injury?!

As soon as that thought occurred to them, quite a few people immediately showed looks of realization.

"So that's it! That explains everything!"

"Did this guy miss his punch just now, lose face, and decide to frame Peter this way?"

That guess won the agreement of many people around them.

After all, aside from Flash deliberately faking an injury to frame Peter, there did not seem to be a better explanation.

What else could it be?

Were they supposed to believe that Peter, the universally acknowledged nerd, had knocked out Flash, who was built like a bull, in one move at a speed nobody had even seen?

What a joke!

If Peter had that kind of ability, would he have spent the past three years being bullied by Flash?

Thus, based on the principle that "once all impossibilities are eliminated, whatever remains, however unbelievable, must be the truth," everyone believed Peter's explanation.

Flash was using a self-inflicted injury to completely ruin Peter's future!

Once they thought of it that way, everyone could not help sucking in a breath of cold air, and the looks they gave Flash changed.

Right, his parents were both rich. Framing an ordinary person like Peter would be ridiculously easy for them.

His parents would only need to pull a few strings, and Peter would probably be expelled on the spot. His life would be over!

Fuck, how could there be someone this awful in the world?

Bullying Peter for three whole years was not enough, and now he even wanted to use a self-inflicted injury to destroy Peter's future!

This was no longer just campus bullying. How was this any different from outright murder?!

Sympathizing with the weak was human nature.

Peter had been bullied at school before, but at least it had not endangered his future or his life. Everyone had turned a blind eye because of Flash's build and family background.

But now it had escalated to the point of ruining someone's future. Those students with a sense of justice truly could not stand by and watch any longer.

Feeling the change in everyone's gazes and hearing the whispers around him, Flash, lying on the ground, was completely dumbfounded.

No...

That wasn't how it was!

I was obviously the victim!

Yet he could not reveal the truth.

How was he supposed to explain it?

Was he supposed to tell everyone that Peter had viciously struck him, and that he was going to become Eunuch Flash from now on?

That would hurt worse than killing him!

Even more terrifyingly, nobody would believe him even if he said it!

At that thought, Flash felt the pain in his lower body grow even more intense, as though his whole body were about to split apart on the spot.

Normally known for being tough, he was now so aggrieved that tears streamed down his face.

This was not fair!

He sucked in cold breaths again and again, his head drenched in sweat as he tried to explain.

"No! I didn't frame him!"

But nothing he said mattered now. The more he explained, the louder the contempt around him grew.

"Pah! Listen to him, he's still trying to deny it!"

"Oh my God! How could someone be this disgusting? Is he actually trying to win sympathy?"

Just as Flash was tasting the bitterness of being abandoned by everyone, a red-haired girl spoke up and drove another knife into his heart.

"Flash, I never thought you were this kind of person. I must have been blind to fall for you and believe that you were only joking with Peter.

You've disappointed me too much. We're breaking up!"

After saying that, the red-haired girl did not even spare Flash a glance. She stepped over his body and walked over to Peter in just a few strides.

She first anxiously checked whether Peter was hurt, then gently comforted him and said that she would definitely testify for him.

This girl was none other than Flash's current girlfriend—Mary Jane!

In some parallel universes, she was Peter Parker's dream girl.

But in this world, Peter had no interest in her.

What kind of decent woman could someone be if she let a school bully pursue her, then immediately cut ties with him the moment he lost face?

In the original story, after having a conflict with Peter, she had even turned around and gotten together with Peter's best friend Harry. She was simply awful beyond words.

How could she compare to his sweet, soft, adorable little Gwen Stacy?

Peter might have had no feelings for Mary Jane, but that did not mean Flash felt the same way.

Seeing the girlfriend he had pursued for three years ignore him and go care for Peter instead, Flash's heart nearly shattered!

At that moment, he really wanted to shout: No--!!!

And then: Snowflakes drift, the north wind howls~

However, he ultimately did not do it.

On one hand, he had already embarrassed himself enough and only wanted to hide away in a hospital.

On the other hand, he was truly afraid.

Others might not know he had been wronged, but how could he himself not know?

Peter Parker had not only suddenly gained tremendous power, but had also plotted to frame him.

He was simply too despicable—and too dangerous!

The Great Devil King was not someone a school bully like him, who preyed on the weak and feared the strong, could afford to fake an injury against!
