Hawke was stunned.
Gwen, observing Hawke's expression, remained silent.
Fake.
So fake.
Gwen couldn't help but offer a heartfelt comment.
"Your acting is fake."
"Sorry,"
Hawke shrugged. "I'm not a professional actor."
Indeed.
Gwen had already been outside.
To be precise, she'd arrived just as Peter was about to confront him, but stopped when she heard the commotion inside the gym.
Gwen had assumed Hawke and Peter wouldn't notice.
But after awakening his inner universe, Hawke, now in control of his five senses, could hear not only Gwen's footsteps but even the falling leaves behind the gym if he wanted to.
The same was true for Peter, who possessed Spider-Sense. Furthermore, this Peter was a fully mutated Spider-Spirit.
However, Peter's current mutation had likely only just begun, and he hadn't fully adapted yet.
Furthermore, Hawke's punch had left him in shock.
But Hawke's glance alerted Peter, and he quickly reacted, detecting Gwen's breathing outside the gym.
So the two of them tacitly chose to keep quiet.
See.
This was another reason why Hawke loved the original Spider-Girl the most.
He had no comment on the Amazing Spider-Man.
But Tech Spider-Man?
Haha.
Hawke had no doubt that if it were Holland's Tech Spider-Man, he wouldn't understand what he meant and would probably continue to ramble on and on.
No.
Not maybe, but definitely.
Hawke thought to himself.
Just then,Peter also came out from the back and looked at Gwen outside, a hint of surprise on his face.
"Gwen, you haven't left yet?"
Gwen looked at the frozen surprise on Peter's face and couldn't help herself.
"Peter, your acting is not as good as Hawke's."
"Ah, haha, hahaha..."
Peter's expression froze, and he scratched his head and smiled subconsciously.
He said goodbye to Hawke and then walked towards the school gate.
Seeing this, Hawke also prepared to leave.
He had to go to Osborn Bioindustry for his summer job early tomorrow morning, and he planned to go to bed early tonight.
Gwen blocked his path.
"There's something wrong with you, Hawke."
"Ah!"
Hawke was slightly taken aback.
Gwen frowned, looking at Hawke curiously. "When did you become so familiar with Peter? I've never seen you talk to Peter before."
More accurately, she had never seen Hawke chat with anyone.
Even when other students approached Hawke, he dismissed them with a few words and continued on with his own business.
And then there was the dance, like at the beginning, when some girls approached Hawke and asked if he could be their date.
The result as the girls said.
"Hawk?"
"He's a fucking iceberg.
A fucking iceberg that's been there for ten thousand years."
The other girls said the same thing.
Gwen was no exception.
Gwen thought back to other times when she approached Hawke. Although Hawke didn't show it, Gwen could sense that he seemed to resist talking to her.
But today?
Her intuition told her that when Hawke spoke to her, that invisible resistance seemed to disappear.
Gwen was very curious about this.
Hawke listened to Gwen's complaints and explained with a relaxed expression: "Peter and I are not familiar with each other.
He came to me because I happened to be there when the lightning trapped him in the bathroom last time.
He came to thank me for this."
Gwen listened to Hawke's explanation and fell silent again.
After a while,she looked into Hawke's eyes and smiled: "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. There is no need to lie."
Hawke thought about it after hearing this, and also looked at Gwen's beautiful eyes and nodded.
"Okay, I don't want to say it."
"I'll find out myself."
"Okay."
Hawke nodded and prepared to leave, but before leaving, he thought about it and said to Gwen: "Investigate it, but don't get involved.
I heard that when a woman is curious about a man, it's the beginning of her fall."

Gwen finally acknowledged that Hawke's previous subtle resistance had dissipated, but she scoffed.
"I don't think I'd fall for a guy who's so reluctant to even consider us friends."
She thought again of the time she'd walked Hawke home a few days ago, and the forced look on his face after she'd said they were friends.
No, not really.
Hawke's resistance to her had already diminished by then.
Gwen thought again of that day, and something clicked in her mind.
Hawke didn't argue, but simply shrugged and headed down the stairs.
"Goodbye, Gwen,"
Gwen called out as Hawke retreated. "I'll find out your secret."
"Go for it!"
Hawke waved without even turning back.
He didn't take the incident to heart.
What he'd just said to Gwen, about a woman falling for a man when she's curious about him, was just a casual remark.
But before he'd awakened his inner universe, he probably wouldn't have said such a thing.
Sitting in the back row of the school bus heading back to his new apartment, Hawke watched the scenery pass by outside the window, his mind racing.
After all, before his inner universe awakened, love was a luxury.
It was a luxury he could only dream of.
But after awakening?
As the saying goes,money is a man's courage.
Hawke might not have money yet, but he has fists!
Power is fists.
Power is money.
Similarly,
fists equal money.
So the past was the past.
The present is the present.
Now that he has awakened his inner universe, he should have the qualifications, based on his position of strength, to say he can have love,
Hawke thought .
At that moment, the image of Gwen and him staring at each other flashed through his mind, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Hiss!"
Hawke reacted, gasping, and subconsciously shook his head, pushing the sudden thought out of his mind.
It was nothing else.
The warning about the three great illusions of life has been activated again.
He is not Peter.
Peter would mistakenly think that Mary Jane likes him just because she smiled at him.
Hawke would not have such an illusion.
So...
forget it.
Business is more important.
He will go to Osborn Bio-Industry for summer vacation tomorrow.
Then he will know whether the thing in Dr. Connors' laboratory is the Garment he wants.
If it is, that would be great.
Hawke has already thought about it.
Once the key to forging the holy clothes, "Gammanion", is confirmed, his next target will be Wakanda, which is rich in vibranium.
Again.
If Wakanda is willing to hand over the vibranium he wants, everyone will be happy.
But what if Wakanda not only refuses to give it, but even dares to fight back?
Haha.
That would be embarrassing.
He.
Hawke.
Not good at speaking.
But he knows a little bit about fighting!
