The next day, early morning.
When Kara Danvers, wearing a pair of old-fashioned black glasses, holding a schoolbag and walking with her head slightly lowered, stepped into the school gate, the sounds of the entire huge middle school opened up to her.
From the loud clapping and slapping of football and basketball players on the school playground to the gentle trembling of a hibernating insect in the woods behind the teaching building, from the loud discussions or whispers of students next to you to the sleepy yawns of the security guard at the back door at the other end of the school.
Even if Kara didn't listen deliberately, a huge amount of sound information still entered her ears clearly and unobstructed.
Kara frowned slightly, feeling slightly uneasy. Fortunately, more than three months had passed since she'd awakened her super hearing. She didn't show any signs of abnormality and walked into the teaching building as usual.
Unlike Kara who instantly saw through their secrets, the students outside and in the corridor just glanced at Kara and quickly looked away.
For them.
Female students like Kara don't know how to dress up, are withdrawn and gloomy, and are invisible in this school with a very low sense of presence.
Kara breathed a sigh of relief. Without attracting the attention of her classmates, she walked briskly from the back door to her seat in the corner against the wall.
She reached out and gently pulled open the sturdy armchair, as if she was afraid she would accidentally destroy it. Only after she sat completely on the chair did Kara breathe a sigh of relief with joy.
Such cautious actions are repeated almost every time I go to school.
"Kara, you can do it. There was no accident this time, and nothing was broken." Kara Danvers secretly cheered herself up, with a bright and sweet smile on her face, a beauty that could not be concealed even by thick black glasses. It was a pity that no one could appreciate this scene.
Yes.
Kara is a Kryptonian hiding in the world of ordinary people. She is also the second Kryptonian left in the entire universe. Her real name is "Kara Zor-El".
The first Kryptonian is, of course, the superhero who has already become famous on Earth - Superman, who is also her cousin: "Kal-El".
As for.
Why does Kara look younger than her cousin, just a fifteen-year-old girl in her prime? It all started when Krypton was destroyed.
When Krypton was destroyed, Kara's parents sent her to Earth, intending for her to protect her infant cousin, Kal. Unexpectedly, Kara encountered a wormhole while traveling through space, and lost more than a decade of time in an instant. By the time the spaceship arrived on Earth, it had already been half a year before the present.
At this time, her cousin had fully grown up as a superman and no longer needed Kara's protection. Instead, he helped her find her current adoptive parents, the Danvers family, so that she could live in an Earth city like an ordinary person.
Kara glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that there were still about five minutes until class started.
She had taken out her textbooks to review them, but she could still hear the sounds of the school. The most frequent sounds were naturally the conversations between students.
Today, unlike the previous discussions about gossip about couples in school, famous superheroes and other topics, almost all students on the ninth floor were talking about today's morning news.
Although it was on the morning news, the incident happened last night.
A giant green monster appeared in an outer suburb of Washington, D.C., prompting an immediate military response, resulting in heavy casualties. News reports, interspersed with blurry, jerky footage from the scene, showed the monster's terrifying power ravaging the city and its troops.
Afterward, Spider-Woman, the Silver-Haired Goddess, and the Armored Knight appeared in the urban battle. A short clip of the Silver-Haired Goddess's confrontation with the Green Monster was shown. The clash of shield and giant fist immediately caused a huge sensation and response worldwide!
Among them, the most talked-about topic is naturally the silver-haired goddess who defeated and beheaded the green monster!
"I unilaterally declare that the silver-haired goddess will be my superhero idol from now on!"
"Bah! Get lost! You just said your idol is Superman."
"Who says idols are superhuman and we can't support silver-haired goddesses?"
"I'm a Batman fan, and I also love the silver-haired goddess. I blame her for being so cool..."
Not only the student group, in just one morning, the silver-haired goddess became the most popular superhero (female) in Washington!
Even many teachers in the middle school, especially the male teachers, were banging their heads on their desks in their offices, excitedly saying, "Does this mean that the silver-haired goddess is a local superhero living in Washington, D.C.?"
"It's hard to say. For superheroes like them who are gifted, the distance between cities is not as far as we understand." One of the teachers analyzed rationally.
The other teachers nodded in agreement. It's like Superman and Iron Man: while everyone knows they live in Metropolis and New York City, respectively, their extraordinary abilities mean they could appear on the other side of the world and hardly raise eyebrows.
"I don't care. She will be my dream goddess from now on. I will definitely buy any hero-related products she releases!" The male teacher looked determined.
However, I wonder what he would think if he knew the identity of the silver-haired goddess.
"Silver-haired goddess, Spider-Man, green monster..."
Kara muttered softly, but she was not impressed at all.
Exactly the opposite of ordinary people.
Kara was only interested in ordinary human matters. As for the so-called extraordinary—her existence as a Kryptonian was the greatest level of extraordinary hidden in the city of Washington. Therefore, there was nothing to worry about.
"Class is about to start." Kara was slightly stunned, but after sifting through the many voices in the school, she did not hear the gentle voice that she wanted to hear the most.
The man did not pass through the wall corridor next to her seat as usual.
bite!
The school bell rang in the teaching building.
Kara quickly glanced up to one side of the teaching building. The walls suddenly vanished, revealing a classroom for the advanced level. In a classroom packed with students, two seats were conspicuously empty.
The male teacher who had just been discussing buying hero merchandise came to the classroom podium with a thermos cup and explained, "Today, Xi Nian Prince and Gwen Stacy have taken a day off due to feeling unwell."
"Not feeling well? Yesterday, he seemed to be in good health."
Kara frowned slightly, and what concerned her even more was that many students in that classroom were whispering to each other.
"How is it such a coincidence that two people asked for leave at the same time?"
"It seems that my guess is correct. They might really be a couple!"
"So, I have no chance?!"
"You never had a chance, my goddess Gwen..."
Hearing the heartfelt cries of many students, Kara's heart couldn't help but tremble.
