DC: Starting with Superman's Powers - Chapter 6
The school bus quickly pulled up to the campus entrance.
Students began to disembark one after another.
Many students’ eyes were immediately drawn to the silver-white Bugatti sports car.
After all, among a sea of old pickup trucks, Jino’s Bugatti sports car stood out like a crane among chickens, captivating the high schoolers’ attention.
What drove many girls even wilder was the figure standing beside the sports car.
Golden long hair, a tall physique, and handsome features.
Jino’s slender fingers rested on a shy Clark’s shoulder, his playful, irreverent smile, his unrestrained, flamboyant gestures, and the faint outline of his perfect abs visible beneath his white shirt, all made many restless teenage girls’ hearts flutter, feeling their heart rates quicken and blood pressure rise.
Years of sunshine and the nurturing of wealth had cultivated Jino’s perfect temperament and handsome looks, along with his flamboyant confidence. He was undoubtedly a walking “girl magnet.”
Seeing many students casting glances their way, Clark, who had never received such immense attention, was a little flustered for a moment. He was led by Jino, like a puppet on strings, with Jino’s arm around his neck, walking towards the campus.
“This feeling isn’t so bad, is it?” Clark and Jino walked into the campus, arms around each other’s shoulders, heads bowed, while Clark’s peripheral vision secretly snuck a glance at the goddess Lana Lang, who was also looking their way.
Although this new student was a bit flamboyant, in an American school, a boy who hangs out with cool kids is also considered cool. This feeling of being in the spotlight greatly satisfied young Clark’s restless self-esteem.
He felt great right now!
On the other side, the “unlucky duo,” Pete glanced at his best friend Chloe, saying with some regret, “Looks like I guessed the worst-case scenario. This sports car kid is impossibly handsome.”
Chloe sighed, pulled five dollars from her pocket, and handed it to Pete: “You won the bet.”
She could already see many girls who considered themselves pretty grouping together, deliberately passing by Jino and Clark, and intentionally giggling to attract the attention of the handsome blond.
“Looks like I don’t have a chance,” Chloe sighed, but quickly composed herself and excitedly asked her companion Pete, “Do you think if we invite him to join the school newspaper club, it will attract more talented people?”
Pete glanced at Chloe: “Why would you ask such a foolish question?”
“This new student has clearly become the school’s hot ‘star.’ Those girls are practically drooling over him!”
“What you need to think about is how to get this blond boy to join your newspaper.”
Chloe nodded in agreement, looking at the somewhat shy Clark, who was talking with Jino, and said, “Perhaps we can ask Clark for help?”
“That blond boy seems to have a good attitude towards Clark.”
So, Chloe immediately took action.
“Hey, Clark.”
The girl ran up to the two boys, blocking their path, and glanced at Jino, saying, “I can’t believe you made a good friend so quickly?”
Clark awkwardly rubbed his nose: “Hey, Chloe, this is…”
“Jino, Jino Luthor.” Jino interrupted Clark’s introduction, smiling at the girl. With that, the two were acquainted.
“Oh, it’s the Luthor Family.” Chloe wore an “of course” expression. If it was the Luthor Family, then being able to afford a sports car wasn’t surprising.
“Oh, sh*t, man, you actually have a Bugatti sports car.”
Pete also ran over to greet Jino: “You’re the new student, right?”
Jino smiled and nodded: “That’s right, my brother and I came to this small town from Metropolis.”
“I have to say, your town is much better than Metropolis. The air quality in that godforsaken place is terrible.”
With just a few words, Jino praised their hometown, instantly closing the distance between himself and the three of them. All three wore proud expressions.
While they were talking, Lana Lang, not far away, was also watching the commotion.
The girl’s gaze fell on Jino’s face. She felt as though she had seen this guy somewhere when she was a child.
“Lana, dear, what are you looking at?” Lana’s boyfriend, Whitney, the tall, burly blond captain of the football team, noticed his girlfriend’s gaze.
He followed her gaze and saw Jino, with a mischievous smile, chatting and laughing with the school’s “three oddballs.”
Immediately, Whitney’s heart churned with jealousy. It seemed his girlfriend was attracted to Jino.
“Ha, that guy is the sports car kid from this morning. He’s already become a big deal at school.” Whitney said sarcastically into his girlfriend’s ear, “That lunatic almost crashed into our school bus.”
Whitney frantically fanned the flames in his girlfriend’s ear, trying to lower her good impression of Jino.
“Huh? Oh, right, he was a bit crazy.”
Lana came back to her senses and smiled gently at her boyfriend: “I just thought that transfer student looked a bit like a boy I knew when I was little, but maybe I’m mistaken.”
“Let’s go, it’s time for class.” Lana picked up her backpack and walked towards the classroom.
Whitney’s face darkened as he glanced at his girlfriend walking away, then looked at Jino, who had a defiant expression. Jino was currently staring at Lana’s retreating back, and that irritating posture immediately made Whitney think of many internet scenarios.
Before entering the campus, he had heard many students discussing this boy, saying that he had the potential to become the new school heartthrob.
As the former school heartthrob, Whitney was naturally annoyed by these words, and combined with the previous misunderstanding, Whitney felt a fire burning in his chest.
Suddenly, he thought of the candidate list the football team had finalized earlier. Whitney’s mouth curved into a cold smile: “Just you wait, blond boy.”
“That list should be changed!”
Jino didn’t know he had landed on the former school heartthrob’s blacklist. His gaze was fixed on Lana as she entered the classroom.
Ever since he first stepped onto campus, he had felt an uncomfortable sensation from that girl, like a fish out of water or a traveler with a cold, making Jino’s body feel uneasy.
There’s something strange about this girl, I have to figure it out, Jino secretly noted.
Jino glanced down at the time on his watch, then bid the trio farewell. “Alright, guys, I’m heading to the principal’s office to check in. See you after class.”
Jino said goodbye to the three and turned, walking towards the school building.
Jino arrived at the principal’s office. The vice principal of the small-town high school was a middle-aged Asian man. On his desk stood a small golden nameplate that read “Mr. Guan.”
“Hello, Mr. Jino Luthor.” The middle-aged Asian man rose with a smile to greet Jino. “Welcome to our high school!”
Jino smiled and nodded. “I’m really looking forward to my time here.”
Regarding Kryptonite, I can give you, esteemed readers, a hint. Let’s see if you can guess how the protagonist will easily resolve the effects of Kryptonite.
1. Lex and Jino have been collecting the bodies of those mutated by Kryptonite. 2. Lex has witnessed Clark’s immense power and is aware of Jino’s assessment of Clark. 3. Lex is a genius scientist. 4. In the comics, Lex once created… to fight the Crime Syndicate.
This author has many ways to have the protagonist easily resolve the effects of Kryptonite using his Talent System. Those who have carefully read my introduction should realize that the protagonist will later replicate talents like [Superman Template] + [xxx Template] = [xxx Superman]. So, what the hell is Kryptonite compared to that?
