“Hmph, how am I fierce? Did Pietro badmouth me to you again?
Next time, I’ll use a snot curse to embarrass him in front of Kitty!”
Wanda immediately huffed in frustration.
Every time she tried to maintain a good image in front of Hawking, it was undermined by her brother Pietro’s backstabbing.
“Oh, Pietro likes Kitty?”
Hawking’s face immediately took on a gossipy expression.
Kitty, also known as Shadowcat, was four years older than Pietro.
Wanda crossed her arms and mercilessly revealed:
“Yes, he even confessed to her, but unfortunately, Kitty thinks he’s too young and rejected him.”
After saying this, she grabbed Hawking’s arm and started shaking it:
“Hawking, you must help me; otherwise, I’ll embarrass myself tonight, and Pietro will laugh at me again.”
“Alright, but don’t expect me to be good at dancing. I’m not naturally talented at it.”
Unable to resist Wanda’s coquettish tactics, Hawking finally agreed.
“By the way, how is your power developing?”
“I can make a hundred pounds float now!”
Wanda proudly raised her chin.
Hawking had an idea and then instructed Wanda:
“Try using your power on me, evenly distributed, but instead of lifting, press down hard.”
Wanda didn’t know what Hawking was up to, but obediently raised her hands and unleashed her power on Hawking.
A wave of red chaotic energy evenly covered Hawking, making his body feel heavier.
“Hey, this effect seems pretty good!”
Feeling the pressure from the chaos magic on his body, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Unlike his usual weight training, which only targeted the body, Wanda’s chaos magic was all-encompassing, even putting pressure on his internal organs.
Thus, Wanda’s chaos magic effect is similar to his envisioned gravity room effect.
“It’s still a bit weak, though. If it were stronger, it would be even better.”
The hundred-pound pressure had a training effect on his current physique but didn’t push it to the limit.
If there’s a chance in the future, I need to get the Mind Stone to enhance Wanda’s chaos magic. Even if we can’t make a gravity room, mimicking it with Wanda’s chaos magic wouldn’t be wrong.”
At this moment, Hawking had some plans in mind.
Bringing Jean Grey might have similar effects, but she’s a professor with her responsibilities, and she wouldn’t likely want to spend her days assisting his training.
“Wanda, since I helped you tonight, could you also do me a small favor?”
With a plan in mind, Hawking placed his hands on Wanda’s shoulders, displaying what he believed to be a hot smile.
Seeing a slightly different Hawking, Wanda felt uneasy and asked:
“Hawking, what favor do you need?”
“Just spend some time each night coming over here, and we’ll…”
Hawking was cut off mid-sentence by a flustered, blushing Wanda:
“No… no, that’s too fast. I didn’t think it would happen so soon, and we should start from…”
Similarly, Wanda was cut off by a gentle knock on her forehead:
“What are you thinking? Please use your powers like you just did to assist my training. It’ll make my training more efficient and take up a little of your time. Just an hour each night would also be like training your powers.”
“Ah… oh, I see.”
Realizing what Hawking meant, Wanda breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a hint of disappointment.
She thought Hawking had finally gotten a clue, but he was still focused on training.
She nodded in agreement to Hawking’s request, and as she prepared to leave, she suddenly asked:
“That… since you’ve agreed to be my dance partner, if someone else invites you…”
“Don’t worry. I probably won’t go out until the dance starts, and except for you, I won’t waste time dancing with anyone else.”
Hawking waved his hand dismissively.
“That’s good. If any other girls invite you, I’ll reject them on your behalf.”
Wanda nodded in satisfaction and left Hawking’s room with a light step.
But just after she left the room, a petite girl stopped her:
“How did it go, Wanda? Does your brother Hawking have a dance partner? Did he agree to invite me?”
This was one of Wanda’s classmates, fascinated with the daily charming view outside the school and knowing Wanda was Hawking’s sister.
She hoped to use Wanda’s introduction to secure a sweet romance everyone would envy.
Wanda feigned regret and replied:
“I asked him for you, but my brother said he’s focused on developing his powers and
She isn’t interested in dating anyone before graduation.
So, he’s not planning to find anyone else as a dance partner tonight; he’s just letting his sister fill in. You might as well accept other boys’ invitations early.”
“Okay, thanks, Wanda. Here’s the latest lipstick I promised you.”
The girl looked somewhat disappointed and handed Wanda a brand-new lipstick.
This was her way of thanking Wanda for trying to help.
Soon after that girl left, a second girl stopped Wanda:
“How’s it going with the library search, Wanda? Your brother Hawking…”
After making a round at the school, she encountered eight girls blocking her way, using the same speech to collect various rewards.
“Hmph, as if you guys could compete with me for Hawking!”
Carrying a pile of stuff back to her door, her face was triumphant.
“Wanda, may I have the honor of inviting you to dance tonight?”
Just as she was unlocking her door, preparing to go into her room to get ready for the evening’s bonfire dance, a somewhat handsome young man mustered the courage to ask her to the dance.
“Scram!”
Wanda raised her hands, and her red chaos magic lit up, frightening the young man into running away immediately.
Naturally, many boys invited her to dance, but in her eyes, these boys were just as immature as her brother Pietro, nowhere near Hawking.
Because of this vast difference, at this age of budding emotions, she gradually developed feelings for Hawking, her adopted brother.
After all, there was no blood relation; it was better to keep things in the family than to let classmates benefit.
However, it seemed that Hawking had little interest in romance, which was a bit frustrating for her. However, at least before that, she intended to eliminate any potential rivals.
At ten o’clock in the evening, Hawking stopped practicing magic, changed into slightly more formal clothes, and left his room.
Thinking about the sizzling, oily grilled meat and various delicious desserts from the last bonfire dance, he was in a good mood and couldn’t help humming a tune:
“The dance is a great place… Ah, yah hey…”
