In front of Superman, you have no choice but to give yourself to a little girl.

To Wayne's surprise, Emma ultimately chose to let those guys go.

This made Wayne feel a little ashamed. He hadn't expected Emma to be so kind. He had been worried that Emma would go berserk. It seemed that he had misunderstood Emma.

After all, if anyone dares to cause him trouble, he'll teach them eighteen ways to pick up the soap. Of course, he'll find a few muscular men to help teach them, and he'll teach them 365 times a year, 24 hours each time. If they can't keep it up, he'll save it for next time.

However, what Wayne didn't know was that Emma didn't retaliate not because she didn't hate them, but because she was worried about how Wayne would view her after she took revenge.

She wanted to, and had to, grasp at this glimmer of light that still shone upon her after she had almost given up hope. If even Wayne had abandoned her, she would probably go insane. Emma couldn't imagine and didn't want to imagine that feeling.

Just as Emma was lost in thought, Wayne's voice pulled her back to reality.

"Where do you live? I'll take you home."

"Home?"

Emma was stunned for a moment. She had run away because her family had forced her to stay at home so much that she couldn't stay there any longer.

Actually, she had no intention of running away from home, but by the time she came to her senses, she had already run to the tennis court.

"Tsk, this is really troublesome."

"I'm sorry! I can..."

"I'm talking about you."

Wayne casually unwrapped two lollipops, popped one into his own mouth, and shoved the other into Emma's. "If you haven't done anything wrong, stop apologizing all the time. Learn to protect yourself a little, okay?"

At this moment, Jean tugged at Wayne's clothes resentfully, "Didn't you say you'd get me a lollipop too?"

"Oh, here you go."

"I don't want this flavor, I want the one you're eating."

"Oh, trying to snatch food from a tiger's mouth? You've got some nerve, kid."

"..."

Qin was completely speechless. How come this development is completely different from the storybook?

Emma breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Seeing Jean's possessive behavior earlier, she thought Wayne was a lolicon. She almost thought she was going to use her powers to control Wayne and force him into marriage—it's fortunate that she hadn't used her mental powers on Wayne yet, otherwise she would have found that it was completely useless.

However, after Emma realized that Wayne wasn't a lolicon and breathed a sigh of relief, she became eager to keep Wayne by her side completely.

She subtly observed the other person's eyebrows, nose, and lips, moving down to their collarbone. Emma, ​​lost in thought, blushed slightly with a sickly rosy hue.

"Since you don't want to go back, I'll find you a place to stay."

Wayne looked at Emma with some confusion, but didn't think much of it. "Are you going or not?"

"Huh? Mm!"

Emma, ​​snapping out of her daze, nodded expectantly. The image of Wayne, whom she had bullied terribly, began to overlap in her mind with the strange-looking Wayne before her—Where to? His house?!

……

Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters.

Knock, knock, knock—Wayne knocked on Charles Xavier's door.

Not long after... click.

A middle-aged man, about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, sitting in a wheelchair, appeared behind the door.

Wayne glanced at Charles's paralyzed legs—paralyzed so early?

Not quite sure which version of Professor X this was, Wayne subconsciously frowned slightly, after all, some versions of Professor X were quite bizarre.

He wanted to know what kind of person Professor X was—and then he learned that Professor X was trustworthy.

Wayne is able to empower himself with all information through his Superman belief, allowing him to know everything he wants to know.

He just doesn't do it often. After all, knowing everything would be boring, and it's the unknown that arouses his curiosity and interest.

While Wayne was observing Professor X, Professor X was also completely bewildered as he stared at this young man who had appeared out of nowhere—he hadn't even noticed the other's arrival!

If he hadn't disbelieved in ghosts and such, he would have thought a ghost was knocking on his door.

"Hello, Professor Xavier."

Wayne reached out and shook hands with Professor X, who was still not fully recovered, then turned to show Professor X the two girls behind him.

"This is Emma Frost, who is also a mutant."

"Hello."

Emma greeted Professor X somewhat awkwardly. Wayne had told her where she was before she arrived, and she hadn't expected there to be a school specifically for mutants.

Professor X and Emma exchanged a glance, their telepathic abilities clashing for a split second. Professor X immediately withdrew his powers, looking at Emma, ​​whose forehead was beaded with sweat, with a mixture of admiration and awe. "This child has incredible talent."

Professor X then looked at Wayne, "You are the hope..."

"I hope Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters won't let me down."

"...Child, I assure you."

Having received Professor X's promise, Wayne turned back and glanced at Jean and Emma one last time.

Wayne didn't say much, but patted them on the shoulder and left them a gift—some high-dimensional energy that could warp reality and protect them at critical moments before it was exhausted.

Although it is far inferior to Wayne's own biofield, it will not pose any problem as long as it is not facing a Celestial-level enemy like the Ancient One or Odin.

Just as Wayne was about to leave, Jean and Emma instinctively grabbed him.

Professor X's expression was complicated upon seeing this scene—ever since he brought the piano back, he had been raising it like a daughter!

Now some brat who appeared out of nowhere has managed to steal my cabbage without my knowledge!

If he hadn't realized that Wayne didn't really have that idea, even if he wasn't sure he could beat him, he would have called a few old friends to have a good talk with Wayne.

What frustrated the father even more was that while Wayne didn't have any ideas, his daughter clearly did.

Unlike Emma, ​​who was clutching Wayne tightly and speechless, Jean, who already knew Wayne would leave, slowly withdrew her hand after realizing what she was doing. "You...you're really leaving?"

"..."

"Actually, I'm a Kryptonian, and my spaceship is parked outside the academy."

"Darkseid invaded Krypton, leaving it in ruins. There was a stupid brat on the planet who was completely clueless about what to do in the face of such danger."

Wayne smiled gently and reached out to ruffle Qin's hair. "I told you, didn't I? If I don't go, that silly brat will cry his eyes out."

With reddened eyes, Qin lowered her head, not wanting the other person to see her tear-streaked face.

Wayne looked away and focused his gaze on Emma.

Emma instinctively looked away, but her grip on Wayne's clothes tightened even more.

Wayne reached out and touched Emma's cheek. He could clearly feel her slight trembling. He cupped her cheek and guided her to look him in the eye. "If you get bullied like this again next time we meet, I'll laugh at you."

Emma's eyes widened unconsciously, and tears blurred her trembling, contracting pupils.

Sensing that the other party loosened his grip, Wayne no longer hesitated, turned around, and his clothes twisted into battle armor!

Flying back to an altitude of 10,000 meters, Wayne glanced back one last time at Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters before accelerating once more to break through the time barrier.
