Chapter 34

"Peter Parker, although I am overjoyed to meet the top student of my school again, I think it would have been better if we had met in better circumstances."

Currently, I was at the principal's office at Midtown High, discussing with the Principal Bill about my application for the distance learning.

"Is it really necessary for you to take the distance learning course? Is there no other choice?" Principal Bill asked me seriously.

"It is, sir. I can already ace the final exams. As such, I believe that I should give my time to more important things." I explained my reasoning to the principal.

"It is not because of bullying in the school that you are leaving it, right Peter. If it is, I sincerely apologize for the trouble you have went through because of our negligence.

It was only when you disappeared and an investigation took place that we knew that you went through such excessive bullying. I can't believe that we were so negligent that our top student went through such bullying. It is too much humiliating for our school."

Principal Bill further went on saying how my bullies had been punished and that if I was afraid of bullying, there was nothing to worry about and I could return without any fear in my heart.

Honestly, it was sickening for me how the teachers often dismissed my pleas about bullying. They always said that it was tough love and I should fight against it myself.

The bullies targeted me because despite looking like a weak guy, my future was secure.

I was the top student and even an intern at Oscorp. So, they bullied me because they were simply jealous of me.

"You know, Peter. It is rather humiliating for us to have a top student taking the distance learning course especially after an investigation revealed how much he was bullied. It gives the message that we can't teach properly.

Well, given the letter I have received from Professor Xavier along with the emails he had sent me with a few other reputable professors, I have no choice but to accept your application."

Principal Bill finished his words with a sigh.

The letter and emails were support Professor Xavier had given me so that my application would be approved without any complications.

After Principal Bill realised that he could not prevent me, he reluctantly went through all the procedures and transferred me to the distance learning course.

As everything was completed successfully, I stood up and was about to step out when the principal's voice rang from behind me.

"For all that is worth, Peter; I am truly sorry for all the bullying you went through during your time in the school." He sounded genuinely remorseful.

"It is all in the past now, Principal Bill." That is all I said before leaving the office.

Gwen had indeed said the truth when she had told me that I had changed too much. I had truly changed during these few months.

Without even including my powers, I was now a sorcerer of Kamar Taj and a mystic martial artist of Ta Lo. I was no longer the old Peter Parker.

As I left the school's gate, I didn't have leave immediately but instead waited at the gate because I wanted to meet someone.

Soon, the school bell rang and students started coming out of the school. I immediately started searching for my best friend, Harry Osborn as I had heard from Gwen that he constantly pestered her everyday to find about me.

"Puny Parker, is that you?" What was this bastard doing here?

In front of me was my main bully of my school days, Flash Thompson along with his girlfriend, Liz Allen.

"Come now, Flash. It is now where to talk to Peter after he has returned after so much time." Liz tried to calm Flash down.

"Do you know how much I suffered because of him, Liz? The police took me from my house deep in night and interrogated me for hours.

When the school found how much I had bullied Peter, they decided to deduct my marks in the final exam. I was this close to being thrown out of the school. My whole future can go downhill because of this bastard."

Flash was truly furious ranting out how much he was unfairly treated. I would only say that he got what he deserved.

But still, I would have to thank Captain Stacy next time I meet him for grilling Flash. And it seems that Principal Bill was not lying when he said that they were punishing the bullies.

"You should at least be happy that he returned safely after his sudden disappearance." Liz continued to attempt to calm Flash despite her words having no effect.

"By the way, Peter, you look quite good with these new muscles. Have you been hitting gym lately?"

Was I hallucinating? Did Liz Allen just flirt with me? Well, she was always the flighty kind of girl.

My illusion spell could only change my face and not my overall appearance. As such, she must have been attracted by my new body.

"Damn it, Peter. You have only arrived and are already trying to steal my girlfriend."

Flash, angry upon seeing me and somehow thinking that I was trying to steal his girlfriend tried to punch me.

Of course, with my martial arts training, I easily dodged his punch. However, he continued trying to punch me while I only evaded in order to not cause an accident at the school.

"Stay still, Loser!" Flash said in anger while trying to hit me.

"You are truly a muscle brain, Flash. Why would I stay still so that you could hit me?" I taunted Flash. Unfortunately, the taunt was too successful.

"You bastard! I am going to fuck you up right here and then go and fuck your Aunt May." Flash insulted Aunt May in anger knowing how close I was with her.

As soon as I heard it, it seemed like something snapped inside me. Without thinking of any consequences, I struck at his abdomen with a palm strike.

"Ah!!" Flash actually flew backwards some distance before crashing into the ground as he was hit by my palm strike.

Fortunately, I had manage to control my strength at the last moment. Otherwise, Flash would have died from that single strike.

"Ah! Pu… Puny Pa… Parker!" Flash moaned in pain as he laid on the ground and could not even say anything properly.

Well, it seems my strength may have slipped a little. Flash will probably have a few cracked ribs.

"Peter! Is that really you?" I looked in the direction of the voice to see Harry running towards me.

*******************************

So, Peter had gone to his school for some work and also to meet Harry but in the end, met Flash first. And since Flash had crossed the line this time, he got the beating he should have gotten a long time ago.
