"It should be him. Do you know where he is now?"
When Hawking heard "nerd Peter," he generally knew it must be Spider-Man Peter, because he remembered Peter Parker always being at the top of his class.
He casually picked a leaf from a nearby tree, transformed it into a rose with a Deformation Curse, and handed it to the blonde girl in front of him.
"A small gift for our first meeting!"
The blonde girl took the rose with a look of pleasant surprise:
"I didn't expect you to know Magic. I don't know where Peter Parker is, but my best friend definitely knows, because she has a crush on that nerd."
Saying this, the blonde girl called out to a thin, black-haired girl standing at the entrance of the teaching building:
"Jessica, Jessica, come over here!"
"Lily, what's wrong?"
Jessica jogged over, a puzzled expression on her face.
Lily pointed at Hawking and said:
"This guy is looking for the nerd Peter Parker. Do you know where he is now?"
"Lily, don't call Peter a nerd. He's very smart. He just got into a fight with Thompson in the hallway, and he even knocked Thompson to the ground!"
Jessica's tone was very displeased.
But Lily, hearing this, burst out laughing:
"I'm telling you, Jessica, you must be joking. Nerd Peter Parker knocked down Mary Jane's boyfriend, Thompson? Thompson is a head taller than him."
"I'm not joking. Many people saw it. After that, Peter ran out of school, and now I don't know where he went."
Jessica replied testily.
At this moment, Hawking, listening to these words, felt his brain start to spin wildly as he recalled all the different versions of Spider-Man storylines he had seen in his previous life.
"It's not Little Peter, nor is it Super Spider-Man. There's no Mary Jane in Super Spider-Man. This storyline is similar to the Maguire version of Spider-Man.
If that's the case, then Peter was bitten by the spider not long ago."
Thinking of this, Hawking no longer lingered and immediately got back on his motorcycle:
"I have something to do, so I'm leaving. I'll treat you to a meal sometime!"
Waving to Lily and Jessica, Hawking rode his motorcycle out of the school.
"Oh no, I didn't ask for his phone number. I'll ask Peter next time. I didn't expect this nerd to know such an interesting handsome guy."
Lily watched Hawking's disappearing back at the school gate, sighing with a hint of regret.
"Shallow!"
Jessica muttered to herself.
On the street, Hawking rode his motorcycle, observing the rooftops around him, while also muttering to himself:
"I didn't expect Peter Parker to have a secret admirer in high school. But the name Jessica, why does it sound a bit familiar?"
"Found him!"
With his super vision, he quickly spotted a young man leaping and dashing across rooftops.
"Yahoo! Haha, this is great!"
Peter excitedly jumped across rooftops four or five meters apart, stopping only when he reached the dock by the East River.
Yesterday, while touring the Super Spider Project exhibition at Columbia University's science museum with his school, he was bitten by a mutated spider. After a deep sleep last night, his body underwent tremendous changes today.
First, his nearsightedness was gone, and his eyesight was astonishingly good. His scrawny body had become strong, even developing an eight-pack.
Second, his strength had become immense. He could easily lift his Uncle Ben's car, which weighed over a ton. His five senses were also incredibly sharp; many things, if he wanted, seemed to turn into slow motion, and he could sense danger happening far away.
Finally, after knocking down Thompson, who usually bullied him, and running out of school, he discovered that his hands could extend hooks like a spider, allowing him to climb walls.
And now, he was going to try out his ability to shoot webs, which only occasionally appeared.
"Go, web!"
"Fly, web!"
"Shoot, web!"
"Transform!"
"Quick, shoot web!"
After a series of lines and various bizarre poses, he finally mastered the method of consistently shooting webs.
He extended his hand towards the dock ahead, and a White web immediately shot out from his wrist, sticking to the boom of a crane.
Standing on a six-story street-side building, holding onto the web with both hands, a bold idea suddenly surged into his mind.
He wanted to see if he could swing across the street to the opposite rooftop using the web.
"Ah-ooh-ah"
Mimicking Tarzan, he leaped down and, using the web he had shot, easily swung across the street, successfully landing on the opposite rooftop.
However, being unskilled at first, he couldn't brake his feet in time, and with a "bang," he crashed into a huge advertising banner erected on the opposite rooftop.
"Oh, damn it!"
Rubbing his sore nose, Peter prepared to get up.
If a normal person had been hit like that, they would likely be severely injured and in the hospital, but he only felt a slight pain in his nose.
"Are you alright, Peter Parker?"
Just then, a strong hand suddenly reached out to him.
"I'm fine, thank you!"
Looking at the suddenly appearing young man, who seemed to be about his age, Peter instinctively expressed his gratitude first.
But he quickly realized:
"How do you know my name is Peter Parker? I don't think I know you?"
"Nice to meet you. My name is Hawking."
Hawking pulled Peter up and didn't immediately reply, but introduced himself first.
He had witnessed Peter Parker's web-shooting experiments from below the entire time, and he hadn't expected the Spider-Man, who looked sixteen or seventeen at this point, to still have some chuunibyou tendencies.
Indeed, who hasn't been chuunibyou in their youth? He himself had spent half a day playing with a stick.
"Hello, Hawking. Are you also from our school?"
Seeing that Hawking was about the same age as him, Peter began to guess.
"Restore to original!"
He raised his hand and pointed at Peter. His worn-out school uniform, which had been torn from his fall, was instantly repaired and looked as new as when he first put it on.
"No, I'm not your classmate. I just knew that your body mutated after you were bitten by a spider, so I specifically came to talk to you."
Hawking said with a smile.
Peter looked at his brand-new school uniform, his eyes widening instantly:
"This is… this is truly amazing. Are you a Mutant?"
He had seen reports on TV that Mutants were born with various magical abilities, but he knew he wasn't a Mutant because he had only mutated into his current state after being bitten by a spider.
"Hmm, you could say that."
Hawking thought for a moment and nodded, then pointed to a burger joint across the street and said:
"How about we go there, sit down, and talk slowly? My treat."
"Okay, no problem at all."
Peter nodded. His intuition told him that this young man, who was about his age, seemed to have no ill intentions.
