Chapter 49

[1st POV]

I spent another two days on sick leave, serving as my weekend.

The day after my "rest," they lifted the surveillance on me as my predictions about the petty criminals turned out to be accurate, and cops were already dealing with the small-time criminal.

During these two days, Batman did not try to contact me, and I wasn't planning on reaching out either because it wasn't something I needed.

I trained.

I maxed out the Water Bullet Jutsu to level ten and the Water Cannon Ball to level five.

I also earned five points and bought the Earth Release: Rock Armour Jutsu that enhanced my body's durability and strengthened my strikes.

By the evening of the third day, I decided to relax and went to the casino.

There, I seriously make money myself thanks to my Cheating skill.

After gaining an extra fifty grand, I stopped and went home because I didn't want to test my luck too much.

But as I was leaving, I got a call from an unknown number. I picked up the phone, and a deep voice spoke:

"One hour, abandoned construction site at Rose-Street 10!"

Afterwards, Batman hung up.

It looks like he's gotten even more arrogant these days.

"Hello! Pam? I'll be late. A bit delayed with some business. Don't worry, nothing criminal or dangerous. Neither Batman nor his "family" would dare hurt or kill me, so no need to worry. I need to prepare a little surprise for my friend. Go to bed without me. If anything, I'll wake you up! Kisses!"

Then, I run through the action plan again for all possible scenarios and check my inventory.

It's going to be a tough night...

...

An hour later, I was already on site.

I created seven clones with different amounts of chakra for different purposes.

I applied the Earth Release: Rock Armor Jutsu and scanned the surroundings carefully for "living" beings, and all I found were Batman, Nightwing, Robin, and Batgirl.

In addition, my clones and I thoroughly checked the building, the ground, and the entire space for cameras, bugs, or any other surveillance devices.

It seemed I caught everything there was to notice.

It was time to head to the top floor... why does he have such a thing for heights? He clearly has some strange fetishes.

I won't even mention the black, tight-fitting suits and young boys around him, I've accepted it and try not to notice.

I wonder what their opinion of me is now.

[Bruce Wayne/Batman 3000 (Respect)

Richard "Dick" Grayson/Nightwing 2400 (Strong Interest, Admiration)

Jason Todd/Robin II 700 (Interest)

Barbara Gordon/Batgirl – 200 (Slight Dislike)]

Well, this is something I expected.

Although I was a bit surprised by Dick, his attitude toward me has actually increased and strengthened.

He seems to be looking at things more realistically.

This is bad news for Batman and the others, but praise and respect for him. He is, after all, Bruce Wayne's first and best student.

Batman was dramatically standing with his face toward me.

Nightwing was sitting on stone blocks in the corner.

Batgirl was standing to the left of Batman, and Robin was positioned across the wall from me.

It looks like an "ambush" is planned if I start "causing trouble."

This annoys me even more.

"You showed up? We thought you wouldn't come."

Batgirl tried to make a snarky remark.

It's strange, she seems like an adult girl, yet she's trying to tease me with such nonsense.

Anyway, I didn't fall for it. I simply raised one eyebrow in a gesture of "confusion" and shifted my gaze to Batman.

"What, how could I miss such an event? I thought I'd talk to your whole Bat-family, but Robin and Nightwing are in the corner. Aren't they coming? Oh, I get it. Robin's being punished for bad behavior and sent to the corner. Then the older brother decided to shield the younger one from "problems" and didn't mention he was coming here. You're harsh, Batman, with your youngest."

"R-r-r! He's not Nightwing's brother!"

Batgirl was burning me with her gaze.

"I don't know. He speaks about it so confidently that I can't help but believe it. You also didn't rush to deny it."

Batman remained silent.

"I didn't come for empty talk; I'm waiting for you to tell me what you're hiding?!"

Batman said with a commanding tone again.

"And that tone again!"

I couldn't hide my displeasure behind the mask anymore, "It's driving me crazy! I don't deserve this attitude, Batman..."

"What are you talking to him for?!"

Robin suddenly pops out from behind the wall, judging by the expression on Batgirl's face.

However, he's a quick and impatient kid. I can already see the future Red Hood.

"He needs to..."

"Stop, Robin!"

Batman tried to stop him with his voice, but he didn't make it in time.

I was faster.

In a matter of seconds, I had already channeled my chakra through my body and coated myself with it.

I hit him to the chest... stomach... jaw... and the finishing blow with my foot, knocking him out.

However, I had to quickly draw throwing knives and knock Batman's batarangs off their trajectory.

He reacts quickly.

I had already had two of my clones on nearby buildings and shot Dick and Batman with tranquilizers, but both of them missed.

Since my clones weren't visible to them under the "concealment technique."

It was just their luck.

Meanwhile, they rushed toward me, and Barbara was the closest. I pull out smoke grenades and throw them on the ground.

After throwing the smoke, I can still find my way around in a fight.

One clone dissipated and passed on the knowledge that when Dick charged at me, he took out his electric batons, and my clone, rising from the lower floor, hit him from behind with a Water Sphere, almost knocking Grayson out, but the finishing blow to the back of his head took him down.

One of my clones dissipated, and I saw Dick charging at me with his electric batons.

The other clone surprised him from behind by hitting him with a Water Release: Water Shield Jutsu.

This almost knocked him out, but a final hit to the back of his head brought him down completely.

I created two more clones and sent them after Batman to buy more time.

As for me, I turned my attention to Barbara.

She tried to strike me in a vulnerable spot with her staff but missed a bit.

I "stuck" the staff to me and then knocked her out with a solid punch to the stomach and didn't hesitate to land one to her jaw as well.

She couldn't do anything against my quick attack.

However, the memories of the dissipated clones made me think that Batman "caught" my clones with batarangs and a net.

It became necessary to go in for close combat, but I didn't want to kill him...

Well, who am I kidding? I want to, but I can't!

Suddenly, explosions sounded from the side, and a wall collapsed onto me.

To be continued...
