60 - *No Name*

"Is this the superhero ability you were gifted with?"

Seeing such a miraculous aim, Peter was stunned and was convinced of Derrick's superhero identity.

"Yes, but it was definitely not gifted."

Derrick then continued to say in a righteous tone, "I have such a high aim and some more techniques. They are all something I earned and worked hard for, especially with a box."

Peter's eyes flashed gold, "Then can I also learn such abilities and become a superhero?"

"Ahem."

Derrick almost spit out the red bull from his mouth.

'You are the future Spider-man, why do you want to learn shooting? Moreover, you are just a kid right now— No, he's just a kid.'

Derrick quickly stabilized his emotions and continued to maintain the face of an expert, "As I said, hard work and ability are indispensable but, with all due respect, I don't see the ability to shoot bullets in you…"

Hearing that he didn't have the same ability as Derrick, Peter was a little disappointed but then, Derrick spoke again.

"Although you don't have the shooting ability, I see other abilities in you. And, they all seem very good."

"What abilities are they?"

This was the turning point in their conversation and Peter was suddenly excited.

Derrick didn't answer, but asked, "Have you finished the book I gave you a few days ago?"

Peter almost cried for a moment, "No, there are too many questions. I've only done half of them."

'Half-done?'

Derrick was surprised. He specially bought books according to the difficulty of Peter's age. He just wanted to stimulate Peter's desire to learn, but he didn't expect Peter to already solve half of it.

'It seems like I still underestimated the genius of Peter.'

Peter was young, but after several days of observation, Derrick could see that this child was very smart.

In Peter's eyes, Derrick saw the most innocent yearning for knowledge. Although Peter was only fooled by him, Derrick was deeply moved by this innocence.

He felt he had to do something in exchange for the kid.

Although there are many versions of Spider-man, judging from the performance of each version, being Spider-man in itself means that you are a genius. For such geniuses, age does not become an obstacle to their acquisition of knowledge.

Derrick believes that as long as Peter improves his foresight and knowledge, he will soon become a technological genius.

Derrick wanted Peter to become a true superhero and not be some kid who lived in Tony's shadow and followed him.

'For my tools— ah no, for the future superheroes, I am willing to devote myself to education and become an excellent bloomer for talents.'

"Very good, it seems that you already meet the minimum requirements to become a superhero,"

Derrick nodded in relief, and continued, "Remember what I said before, you have an intelligent brain. You may not have a shooting ability but with knowledge, you can build a suit that can automatically aim, and this is your real power."

All the motivation for people to live comes from desire, and the same is true for learning.

After repeated hints from Derrick, in Peter's heart, becoming a superhero and making a battle suit have become his dreams.

After a long time, Peter finally regained his senses from the fantasy of fighting villains and said, "But, I can't think of how to make a powerful super battle suit."

"Don't worry, as I said, I will find you a blueprint for making a battle suit in a few days."

Derrick narrowed his eyes and patted Peter on the shoulder, "But, first of all, to understand the blueprints, such as its basic physics, you have to learn more, alright? Well then, I have prepared 30 more books for you."

"Three, thirty books?"

Peter was dumbfounded.

Derrick straightened his face, "Little Peter, you have to know that becoming a superhero is definitely not an easy task. You have to learn more from my talents, such as hard work and persistence."

"But... thirty is too much."

"What are you thinking? It's not to learn all at once. These books are all advanced ones. Right now, you just need to start from the basics and then go to the questions."

Seeing Peter's terrified expression, Derrick comforted him, "You have to remember that knowledge is power. Whenever you learn something new, it means that you become stronger. You can imagine this process to be your training arc. After you complete the training, it would mean that you have become a real superhero."

Derrick's words really made Peter feel better.

He swallowed his saliva, his body and voice trembling, "I want to be a superhero!"

"Well, there is one thing I want to remind you of. Only the two of us should know about my superhero identity and the superhero training process must also not be revealed, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Peter nodded.

Derrick grinned, "Peter, you have to quietly become stronger. If those big bad villains see you getting strong so quickly, you and your aunt might get into danger. Work hard in silence, you will definitely be able to make those bitc— um, I mean, you'll amaze everyone!"
