Chapter 23: The First Day of School...

A few days later, New York Midtown High School.

With the end of the vacation, the originally quiet campus started to become lively this morning.

"Hi, Peter."

"Wow, I haven't seen you for a whole vacation, how did you grow so tall?"

"I guess I'm just hitting a growth spurt..."

Walking on the familiar campus, only a few familiar classmates greeted him, but they were quickly surprised that after just one vacation, Peter had grown a lot taller.

After circumventing the crowded people and a few couples who had just met after a vacation and couldn't wait to make out with each other.

Peter finally arrived at his locker.

"Huh, just another boring prank."

Upon opening the locker and seeing two dead mice inside, Peter was completely unfazed internally.

The next moment, he used the locker door to hide his eyes which were glowing red.

"Eh? Why isn't that coward reacting?"

Not far away, the two pranksters who started this were observing Peter's reaction.

However, the situation they expected where Peter would scream in fright and stumble backwards repeatedly did not happen.

And from his very calm appearance, it seemed that he had not discovered their masterpiece at all.

"Hey, did you really put that stuff in there?"

"I did boss."

"Then why isn't he reacting?"

"Who knows, maybe after being scared so many times before, he got more guts."

"Let's go take a look."

Seeing Peter leave calmly, the two didn't believe it and walked over.

"F*ck, you just said you put it in there? Take a look, where's the stuff?"

After sneakily opening Peter's locker, there was no trace of their masterpiece inside, only some personal items.

"But I clearly put it on the bottom shelf, how did it disappear?"

The scolded student now also felt very puzzled and wronged.

In order to prove his own innocence, he couldn't help but reach into the locker to feel around.

"Ahhh...so hot!"

But the next moment, the sudden scream instantly attracted the attention of all the students.

They saw that the hand he had stuck in the locker was like he had touched an electric fence, and was instantly pulled back. But even so, it was still burnt with blisters.

"Serves himself right."

Hearing the screams behind him and the ridicule of his classmates, Peter sighed silently and walked into the classroom.

...

Upon entering the classroom, Peter went to his seat according to memory and sat down.

"Too bad this spot doesn't get any sunlight."

However, Peter stood up again right after sitting down.

His position was in the furthest corner next to the wall in the classroom. Staying here meant he would be completely unable to enjoy the sunlight.

How could Peter possibly accept this, he still had bonus buffs on him!

"Hmm, that spot looks good, right in front of the window."

His gaze swept around the classroom and Peter quickly found a good spot.

Right in the center of the window, no matter whether it was morning or afternoon, he could enjoy the sunlight.

Then, Peter went over without any hesitation, even though there was already someone sitting there.

"Hi Flash, we need to talk."

Looking at Flash Thompson who was sitting there talking to other classmates about a football game, Peter said slowly.

Hearing his name, Peter couldn't help but think of a certain man who claimed to be the fastest man alive on Earth.

"Oh, Peter Parker, eager to get sent home on the first day back huh?"

As the school bully, Flash turned back and saw that the one disturbing his chat was the previously extremely cowardly Peter.

The anger in his heart instantly ignited, and he stood up from his seat with a "whoosh".

"I see, turns out you got taller over vacation so now you have the confidence to come bother me."

However, by the time he stood up, he discovered that after just one vacation, the originally skinny and cowardly Peter was actually taller than him now.

And he did not seem to fear himself at all in momentum.

"Sorry, I just came to switch seats with you."

"Hmph, don't think that just because you grew a little bit taller you dare to provoke me. I'm the absolute main force on the school football team."

Seeing that he had not scared away the cowardly Peter, and his friends were watching everything around him.

Feeling his status being challenged, Flash did not hesitate and threw a fierce punch at Peter's chest.

Thud! Crack!

"Ah..! It's broken..."

Along with a muffled impact sound and a crisp bone-cracking sound.

Flash instantly covered his fist and cried out in pain.

"Send him to the nurse's office."

Seeing Flash in so much pain he was almost crying, Peter slowly said to his minions around him who had been stunned.

"Alright, we'll take him to the nurse's office now."

At this moment, those his friends were dumbfounded. Since when did Peter Parker, who was often bullied, become so fierce?

To this, Peter could only say in his heart, bullets can't even pierce my steel body, how could your fist possibly hurt me?

With several minions taking the pained Flash to the nurse's office, Peter sat down without hesitation in Flash's former spot.

Enjoying the sunlight, he instantly felt extremely comfortable in body and mind.

"Parker, you seem to have changed a lot this vacation."

A female classmate with black-framed glasses and Asian features behind Peter looked at him with incredulity in her eyes.

...

Ding Ding Ding...

With the bell ringing for class, most of the students in the classroom also sat in their seats.

"Students, it looks like you all had a happy vacation!"

The teacher for the first period walked into the classroom, looking at the students who almost all had smiles, and said slowly.

"However, the new semester has already started, and this semester is very important for you all."

"Those students without enough credits, remember to earn enough credits this last semester, otherwise you may not be able to smoothly apply for college."

"Alright, enough talk, let's start class now..."

"Wait a moment, teacher!"

Just as the teacher was about to start lecturing, a female student's voice came from the door.

"Being late on the first day back is not good performance, Miss Stacy."

"I'm sorry teacher, I won't do it again next time."

"Just this once, go back to your seat."

Walking quickly into the classroom toward her seat, Gwen internally frantically complained: "If it wasn't for a bus driver on my way to school spacing out early in the morning, how could I possibly be late?"

"Hmm? Peter Parker? Why is he sitting there?"

Seeing a familiar person sitting in the spot that belonged to that classmate Flash she hated, Gwen couldn't help but feel very surprised.

"Morning, Miss Stacy."

"Good morning, Parker..."

Feeling somewhat doubtful, Gwen greeted Peter and sat down in the spot in front of him, with a strange feeling in her heart.

And at this time, Peter who had finished greeting had already closed his eyes again, enjoying the feeling of sunlight filling his whole body.

Listen during class? No freaking way! Nothing was more important than sunbathing.

"General, the air force and ground forces have finished assembling, shall we attack immediately?"

"Good, prepare to attack, this time we must completely eliminate that green monster!"

And halfway through class, while Peter was enjoying the sunlight with eyes closed, his ears that had super hearing enhancement countless times over suddenly heard a sound that greatly interested him...
