Chapter #8
I was preparing to attend school for the first time. Batman had procured a renowned academy in Gotham city.
I probably wouldn't be much of a newbie with Robin and Artemis attending the same school but still I was looking forward to make some new friends.
Packing lunch was not an option as the school had a cool cafeteria where I could order any kind of dish which I craved.
I boom tubed to a call booth located at a dark alley in Gotham city and then walked to school. I encountered alot of students but the one I seemed notice arrived in a black Benz with tilted screens as it made it debut at the school entrance.
Two young teenagers then stepped out of the car, it was Grayson and Barbra.
"Hey my man? how does your first day in school feel? Just be you and everything will be okay." It sounded as if Dick was giving me an advice but surely this is not like my first time in school you know.
"Meet my friend Barbra, or you can call her Batgirl." Dick mumbled in my ears with a whisper when he said the word Batgirl.
I extended my arm to greet her,
"Nice to meet you."
After shaking hands Robin then held my shoulder as he lead me inside as pals.
Then a girl with a chisel face and blonde hair interrupted our friendly talk as she greeted with a beaming face of enthusiasm like a light house under a storm.
"My name is Beth, welcome to Gotham academy." She remarked with a kind gesture.
"Thanks nice to meet you too." I replied as her face and cupped cheeks turned red when our eyes intertwined.
"I can show you around the school if you like?" Beth spoke as the tone of her voice got lower with every word and gazed down maybe to avoid me seeing her embarrassed face.
I agreed as I departed from Grayson and accepted her offer by walking me around to give me an impression of the school construction. She didn't mind the crowd of student staring at us, it made me notice some boys looking daggers to me as if wanting to tear me to shreds.
I can't oppose that beth was a hot blonde but I wasn't into her or anything? It's seemed as if I was some kind of a foreign animal marking territory on already set grounds.
I ignored their glances as I peeked around and I bet I noticed Artemis between the en masse crowds of student.
The first period of the class was a arithmetic lesson. The math quizzes looked super easy that I started to question if I was in a five star highschool indeed. I expected a competitive and difficult academic prior but I guess it was due to us being first years so they had to take it on easy on us to power up the morale of studies.
After the last bell rung, I was planning on heading out to a desserted location to continue my training when Beth sneaked up on me from my back making me drop my books as distanced my self to attack.
"Whoa it's just me. Am sorry for surprising you like that," Beth inquired as she bent down to collect my stationaries.
"We are crashing a party tonight with my friends and I was hoping if you would like to join us?"
I thought about it for some time and I cleared my mind as I came to a conclusion.
"Am sorry, I would very much desire to attend but I had plans for today's evening." I answered which caused her to look down with disappointed face.
I mean I wanted to enjoy highschool as a normal teenager but my training course always came first to my catalog.
"We can exchange contacts if you change your mind." The blonde girl proposed which I did not object to give her.
I hurried to a secluded place with no one on site as I teleported to a some kind of a dessert.
I tapped on my system as I looked at my stat attributes.
The system then inquired another task for me to partake.
"Choose your challenger."
I had thought about it and the foe I was gonna face.
"Thor son of Odin." My voice resounded in my head as a figure materialized from thin air and the entire environment shifted to a battle arena like colosseum.
Without further adue Thor lifted his mjolinr and struck me with it on the chest which sent me plummeting to the opposite side of the coliseum which broke me from my stupor state.
The detrimental impact had left me speechless as I groaned to stand up.
The attack came without warning or a start.
The hammer then flew to the palm of the Norse god.
I stood up while holding my chest as blood curled from the corners of my lips.
That was the most potent attack I have ever taken head on. Without a moment of hesitation,the lightning god then flew towards me with sonic speed but I managed to dodge it by backing on side which caused him to crush to the wall.
My karma seal activated as I breathed out a lava spit towards Thor's masculine figure covering his whole body but the lava had no effect on him at all.
I formed black rods to impale him but they all managed to break as they came in contact with his body.
His durability was off the chart and my attacks seemed useless ,but I wasn't gonna give up that easily without putting a good fight.
I dashed forward as I landed a kick on his belly but to my surprise he did not bulge a single inch.
My face was stupified by his sheer strength but I guess not even my strength was to be compared with a god.
He clenched his right fist which he punched me but I reacted to defend with my arms and still I was hurling meters away.
My arms were smouldering and swollen as they went numb from the impact. I was no near level of divinity, I had accredited my abilities but my strength was still that of an amateur kid compared to him.
The Norse god of thunder stared down on me with a malicious intent. My assault had no effect but I guessed stinged a little which left him irritated.
He roared with a spartan rage, the ripples of air pushed me levitating backwards but I dug my feet to the ground to prevent any back pedal which would result in me slumming against the stone wall.
Sand and huge tornados formed from just one roar locking my face with my arms as the blowing sand wind blocked my eyesight making them watery in the amidst of his uncontained anger.
He then raised his hammer and a streak of lightning started shoting from the sky his eyes glowing with a bluish hue. The sight of it was godly making me come to conclusion in the difference in our strength .
I couldn't help it as my whole body started shaking with fear crepting every nerve of my body eerily as it curdled due to the macabre of death staring on me.
The fear made my legs to shake feebly as my senses dulled.
"System has detected danger. It would be wise to quit before the inivitable arise." I hearkened the voice of the lady robot warn me as everything went in a red sign.
"System check my death probability rate?" I asked.
"Death probability is currently at 95%."
As long as I had a 1% chance then I would still emerge the winner.My survival rate was depleting by every move the Norse god made.
Thor switched his sight to the sky as he raised his hammer to bring down the lightning on me.
"Damn am gonna be toast." I said as I looked upwards to meet the incoming heavenly attack.
I raised my right arm to absorb the lightning but the watts were colossus and the power was frying me.
Only a miracle could get me out of this mess. I followed the same suit with my left arm as karma tattoos appeared allover my body.
The attack was quite massive and the Norse god was sure that no mortal would have the strength to survive an attack from him but, when the smoke cleared a shadow of a boy was standing between the miniature crater at the centre of the colosseum.
As the dust cleared, lightning was flashing from his opponents body as it covered him whole.
I could control the lightning now, my eyes were blued but the lightning which I emitted had black particles in it. You could go as far as to say it was black lightning.
I looked at myself and a smirk curled on my face. I had absorbed Thor's lightning and I was dying to give him a taste of his own medicine.
