4 I'm too embarrassed to expose you, Clark.

Not getting his parent's permission to try out for the sports team, Clark got out of the house with his schoolbag, downcast, he glanced around.

 On the dirt road in front of the farm, the tire tracks were clearly run over, and the school bus was probably going towards the school at this time.

  "You can't show abnormalities in front of people, but as long as no one sees it."

  Clark raised his schoolbag, and his body disappeared in a flash and rushed into the continuous cornfield farm.

If seen from the sky, the green waves parted as quickly as Moses' stick pointed.

Except for the time the school bus driver stopped on the way to school, and chatted with a person whose car broke down halfway and asked if he needed help, which caused a delay for some time.

The school bus drove smoothly all the way and stopped on time in front of the town's high school.

The students got off the school bus one after another and walked towards the campus in two or more friend groups.

After getting out of the car, David glanced at a signboard with a meteorite pattern in the distance, weathered by the wind and rain, old and faded.

[Welcome to Smallville —The Meteorite Capital of the World]

More than ten years ago, a wave of meteorite rain landed on this town, bringing both disasters and opportunities.

The people in the small town tried in vain to seize the selling point of Meteorite City to become a tourist destination and make the town develop.

However, looking at the road that can be crossed in a few steps as the main road of the town, and the low buildings that can be seen everywhere, it is not difficult to know the result.

David withdrew his gaze and casually walked towards the campus where the cherry blossoms were blooming in spring.

"The capital of meteorites, Look's like Clarks will suffer in the future."

The so-called meteorites are the Kryptonite that came to the earth with the space capsule of the son of Krypton.

"As we all know, kryptonite is the Achilles' heel of Superman. Once touched, it will cause pain and weakness in a short time, and it will be fatal if it's in contact for a longer time."

A small green stone can make a god on Earth who is strong enough to move the continental plate powerless and kneel on the ground.

When he grew up, he noticed a little bit that there was a lot of kryptonite in this small town. To exaggerate, he might have kicked out two pieces of kryptonite while walking on the road. I believe that all kinds of villains who will fight against Superman in the future will never have to worry about where to find kryptonite.

Chloe and Pete got off the bus, the two caught up with him, and the three walked towards the campus together.

"Hi, good morning, Chloe, Pete."

Clad in jeans and a classic padded blue plaid shirt, Clark appeared out of nowhere, with a few books in his arms, trying to pretend that he had arrived early, and greeted his friends.

"Didn't David say you were behind?"

Chloe's 'Strange Radar' activated, with a puzzled look on her face.

How could Clark, who missed the school bus, arrive at school before them?

"I took a shortcut and set off early. David didn't see it."

Clark remembered that David's words in the morning had ruined his plan.

Although even if there was no reminder from David, it was unlikely to get the consent of his parents, he still put his arm over David's shoulders unhappily and scolded his brother who had become expressionless with a smile.

"You know, David has never cared much about me."

"Really?"

The two of them looked at David with no less suspicion.

They remembered that David clearly said that Clark had asked his parents for permission to participate in the rugby team selection in the morning, and had encountered some difficulties, so he was determined to fight for it.

"Whatever."

Slapping Clark's hand away, David took the lead toward the campus.

He began to think about the kryptonite he had collected before, whether he should pick out a small piece and carry it with him.

In order to prevent a certain son of Krypton from lying about him next time.

Clark, who had just made a fool of himself, was slightly relieved.

As a family member who gets along day and night, David knows what makes him different from ordinary people.

Others don't know how he did it, but David certainly does.

Fortunately, David didn't reveal it as expected. After all, his younger brother has always been very mature.

Looking at his younger brother's back, Clark smiled.

Even if he found that his elder brother was extremely powerful and faster than the sound, as a younger brother, he was ordinary, and he never felt unbalanced in his heart.

However, this exception does not do much good.

Thinking of this, his eyebrows drooped again.

"Hiss..."

Suddenly, Clark felt weak and uncomfortable as if his strength had been emptied in an instant. He couldn't stand upright and fell to the ground, with books scattered all over the floor.

Whitney passed by with his girlfriend Lana in his arms, casting contemptuous glances.

Seeing him fall, Lana took the initiative to stop and help him pick up the book, glanced at the book in her hand, and said with a smile.

"Thus spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche?"

"Clark, do you think you are an ordinary person or a superman?"

Hearing the voice, David glanced back.

His eyes swept over Lana's chest, where a green sparkling necklace hung.

"I don't know."

Clark turned his head and didn't want to experience the kryptonite necklace, his expression was a little uncomfortable, and he stumbled.

The Superman in Lana's mouth does not refer to Clark's future hero code.

Philosopher Nietzsche once put forward a philosophy on the definition of a powerful human being, who is not bound by secular rules and morals, surpasses himself, surpasses ordinary people, has strong creativity, and a strong will is called a superman.

"Again, kryptonite."

Touching his chin sympathetically, David temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​carrying kryptonite with him in the future.

The future Superman is miserable enough. Facing his crush, because of the kryptonite necklace, he cannot even talk freely with the other person. Every time the person he has a crush on appears, it is often when he is embarrassed.

"Let's go."

Seeing his girlfriend and Clark take the initiative to talk, Whitney was overwhelmed with jealousy, but because he didn't do anything in front of his girlfriend, he kissed Lana, hugged her waist, and left, leaving an embarrassed figure to pick up the book on the ground.

"David?"

There were footsteps, and Clark looked up to see that it was David walking over.

His eyes lit up, thinking that his younger brother was going to pick up books for him.

"It's so miserable, Clark."

Throwing down a sentence, David shook his head and left.

Facing the ridicule of his younger brother's deliberate return, Clark was furious.

After picking up the books, the four of them walked into the building. Next to the lockers in the corridor, teenagers with restless hormones were chatting eagerly. They dressed up behaved nicely and tried their best to show off their charm, talk with the opposite sex in front of them, and agree to their invitation.

"Spring is here."

Feeling the atmosphere in the school, David sighed.

"You mean the upcoming spring dance? David."

Chloe blinked and asked, "Do you have a dance partner?"

"David has never been interested in this kind of thing."

Peter shrugged and invited: "How about Chloe, how about you being my dance partner, as a pure friend."

With a partner, the two of them won't have to be too awkward at the dance.

"How about you, Clark?"

"..."

The four chatted and entered the classroom.

After studying all morning, school is over at noon.

"David, you should go home alone today."

Clark asked David to go home first as if it was serious.

"I'm going to the playground to accompany Pete to participate in the selection and encourage him."

"Accompany Pete?"

David sneered after glancing at him up and down.

"I'm too embarrassed to expose you, Clark."

After saying this, ignoring Clark who was blushing and wanting to argue, he turned around and left gracefully.

Getting on the school bus. David looked out of the window at the scenery.

What is the excuse for Pete going to participate in the selection, Clark is just full of hormones and uses this as an excuse to watch Lana and her team members practice cheerleading on the playground.

In this regard, he can only comment - asking for discomfort.

There were not only cheerleaders but also a football team on the playground, full of dog food and vinegar, waiting for Clark.

On the school bus, Chloe sat beside him, leaning over her schoolbag and quietly writing a manuscript.

The draft was in her usual style, sharp and sharp. It was an article about the football team - "Football: Sport or Savageness", which was going to be published in the school newspaper.

There were few vehicles on the bridge, and the school bus driver drove fast and smoothly.

The driver didn't notice the place where the car broke down in the morning on the road ahead, and there was a broken steel part lying there.

Chi!

The school bus, which was running smoothly, suddenly had its tires punctured and flattened.

Boom!

The car skidded uncontrollably, and it was too late to slam the steering wheel. The school bus crashed into the bridge guardrail under the driver's terrified expression and rushed off the bridge.

The school bus flew mid-air.

"Ah!"

Suddenly weightless, the body jumped up, and everyone in the car screamed.

David's expression changed.

Before the group of high school students finished screaming, the school bus plunged into the water, causing huge splashes.

The heavy school bus weighing more than ten tons quickly sank to the bottom of the water.

The turbulent and icy river water rushed in through the gaps in the car body, almost submerging the knees in the blink of an eye.

"Help, help!"

The people on the school bus didn't care about falling and getting dizzy, they stood up panicking, yelled in panic, and hit the window.

Chloe turned pale with fright and shouted, to be even more frightened, she couldn't swim.

"I don't want to die, who can save me!"

The atmosphere of despair and terror spread rapidly in the car, and fear swept everyone.

"Unlucky."

The water was up to his waist, and his clothes were wet. David did not seem to be in a life-and-death crisis at all and frowned as he looked around.
