Chapter 137: The Scarlet Witch
"Running really fast, his power isn't bad either..." Lorna watched Pietro disappear, shaking her head while starting to experiment with levitating other objects in the room. She was already fantasizing about her next duel with Kara.
Of course, Lorna wasn't foolish enough to directly use the talisman's power against Kara. She decided to secretly enhance herself with the talisman in their next duel, catching Kara off guard! Since it was hard to compete with Kara academically, Lorna couldn't be blamed for "cheating"! Unaware that Kara was essentially a cheat code, Lorna thought to herself.
"Don't mess around, okay?" Pietro reappeared in front of Lorna, then quickly vanished again, worried that if he stopped, Lorna would control him again, but he couldn't help warning her again, "It's better if others don't know about superpowers, or what if we get caught and researched?"
"Don't worry, even someone as dumb as you knows this, how could I not?" Lorna scoffed, pretending to disdain.
"Lorna!" Pietro got a bit angry and stopped, glaring at Lorna.
"Buzz!" Then, Pietro fell for it again, the power of levitation making him fly up.
"See, you deny being dumb!" Lorna's lips slightly curved, teasing her foolish brother.
"Hmph! That's because I know I can break free from your power!" Pietro huffed discontentedly, activating the Rabbit Talisman's power again, vanishing from the spot.
From Pietro's performance, it was evident that the Rooster Talisman's power of levitation wasn't enough to stop the Rabbit Talisman's power of speed.
While Lorna and Pietro acquired the talisman's power, somewhere on Earth, within a crimson-colored formation, a woman named Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, shook her head, sighing, "Even like this, they still came into contact with supernatural powers. It seems unavoidable, wanting them to be ordinary people is too difficult!"
"And Pietro, really hopeless, even with a different sister, still can't show any brotherly authority, still suppressed by Lorna in terms of aura... Fortunately, the powers of these two talismans are basically equal, at least Pietro won't be overwhelmed in terms of abilities."
Wanda gradually withdrew her gaze, focusing on the formation outside, which connected to Earth's dimensional defensive formation. Outside the Earth's dimension, greedy eyes were watching from afar.
At this moment, Wanda's expression also seemed excited, as if seeing prey, murmuring softly, "Dimensional demons? Take your time..."
...
The next morning, Robert and Kara went to school as usual, taking Peter Parker with them for training. Before the trio could enter the classroom, Lorna charged over, her gaze intensely fixed on Kara, issuing another challenge, "Kara, do you dare to compete with me again?"
"Haven't you already lost last time? Why another challenge?" Kara looked at Lorna with slightly raised eyebrows, somewhat impatiently asking.
"Last time was an academic challenge. This time, I want a real strength contest!" Lorna hurriedly explained upon hearing this.
"But didn't you also lose the strength contest when you first transferred here?" Kara spread her hands, her words making Lorna's expression stiffen, her aura weakening considerably.
"That was the old me. I'm different now! I can definitely defeat you!" Lorna took a moment to gather her spirit again, declaring war on Kara.
"I can't see any difference in you... Huh?" Kara instinctively looked at Lorna, trying to spot any changes, but soon saw through Lorna's clothes to the Rooster Talisman on her chest.
"Huh?" Robert also looked at Lorna curiously, not because he had x-ray vision, but because he sensed the power of the talisman on Lorna.
After all, Robert had come into contact with many talismans and even researched some thoroughly, transforming their power into his own qi, making him familiar with talismans.
"Why... why are you looking at me like that?" Lorna noticed Kara and Robert suddenly staring at her and instinctively stepped back, looking at them warily.
"Lorna." At that moment, Pietro approached Lorna, pulling her aside, "Why are you so eager? It's just morning, and you're challenging Kara? Couldn't you wait for a less crowded time after school?"
Pietro felt somewhat helpless inside, understanding it was because Lorna had been suppressed by Kara for too long. From childhood, Lorna had always been the undisputed top student and beauty at every school, but ever since transferring to Midtown High, she had never enjoyed such treatment. Thus, her eagerness to challenge Kara again was understandable.
But choosing this time for the challenge could easily attract attention. If too many people witnessed Lorna and Kara's contest, someone might discover Lorna's anomaly. Exposing their newfound superpowers would be troublesome.
At this moment, Pietro finally showed some brotherly steadiness and responsibility, but unfortunately, appearing in front of Robert drew Robert's attention because Robert sensed the power of the talisman on Pietro.
"How coincidental?" Robert raised an eyebrow, smiling at Pietro and Lorna.
"What... what's so coincidental?" Pietro looked at Robert, confused about what he was saying.
"Let's go somewhere less crowded to avoid attracting too much attention..." Robert and Kara exchanged looks, then nodded at Pietro and Lorna, softly suggesting.
"You..." Lorna hesitated, suddenly not wanting to follow Robert and Kara to a secluded place.
"What? Scared?" Kara's lips curled slightly, provocatively saying, "If you're scared, then forget it! After all, you've lost to me so many times, being afraid is normal..."
"Who's scared? Let's go!" Lorna, though knowing Kara was goading her, still took the bait.
Lorna refused to show weakness in front of her rival, Kara. Even if Kara and Robert seemed off, Lorna, with the talisman's power alongside Pietro's, believed they wouldn't be at a disadvantage. She saw no reason to fear!
