What's wrong with Superman's son wanting to be Superman?

Page 25

The aroma of roasted meat and eggs filled the air. Ian poked at the scrambled eggs on his plate with his fork, but his eyes were fixed on Clark in the kitchen, where the Superman was humming a tune as he stuffed bacon into a sandwich.

Would you like more blueberry jam?

Clark turned to look at Ian, who was staring at him. His expression showed no abnormality or illness. As he spoke, he placed the prepared sandwich on Jordan's plate.

"no need."

Ian shook the milk carton in his hand, the plastic box making a hollow sound. "I'm full! I'm going to school! You guys continue to enjoy your wonderful breakfast!"

As he spoke, he stood up and slung his backpack over his shoulder.

"Wait! We're going to take you to school!" Jonathan ate chicken breast one after another. As a key player in the football team, he always had his own plans and schemes when it came to his diet.

“Yeah, what if you run into yesterday’s kidnappers again? It’s too dangerous.” Jordan also wanted to grab Ian, but Ian, whose physical abilities were far superior to his, slipped out the door in a flash.

Clark did not stop it.

He even stopped Jordan from chasing after him.

“Your brother is smart, trust that he will protect himself.” Clark knew there were some things he couldn’t say yet, so he chose to express himself in a more tactful way.

however.

"He's still a child! How can he protect himself?" Jordan rolled his eyes, his stereotype of his father as an irresponsible man deepening.

American family.

Family conflicts have always been a major theme.

"Hey!"

Clark watched Jordan chase after him, sighed, and offered no further explanation. Just then, a somewhat weary Louise came down the stairs.

"Children, I'm sorry, I'm really sleep-deprived. How was the breakfast your father made for you?" Louise asked sleepily, only to find that Jonathan was the only one left in the dining room.

"Good morning, Mom."

Jonathan smiled at Louise and gave her a thumbs-up, praising Clark's cooking. However, he only ate a few of Clark's boiled eggs.

Other ingredients such as chicken breast, creatine, protein powder, arginine, fish oil, curcumin, probiotics, and... mysterious power are all dietary combinations he made himself.

"Where's Ian? And Jordan?"

Louise was a little confused, but she took the coffee her husband offered her.

Clark said nothing.

“They went to school after they finished eating.” Jonathan didn’t choose to talk about the unpleasant incident that had happened before; he was always the most mature eldest brother in the family.

"Ok."

Louise had no doubts.

She walked towards the living room cupboard while munching on a sandwich.

"Clark, about what we talked about yesterday... I think we still need to tell Ian and let him accept taking the medication on his own. We can't let him feel that we've deceived him."

Louise opened the drawer, looking for the prescription medication the doctor had prescribed.

however.

She froze the next moment.

"Did you put Ian's medicine somewhere else?"

Louise turned around.

Clark remained silent, simply burying his head in his bread.

"Or rather, you've already drugged Ian and secretly added it to his breakfast?" Louise frowned, her tone filled with hostility.

Why weren't you discussed with me first?

It is clear.

Louise was very dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Jonathan quietly left the restaurant.

As for Clark.

He gritted his teeth but remained silent, enduring the pressure and output from the most powerful individual in the family, and kept stuffing bread into his mouth to shut it up.

……

Outside the house.

Ian wasn't caught by Jordan; he was incredibly fast, taking shortcuts much faster than a bus. And the reason he could slip away so quickly was, of course, due to a unique factor.

"Hahaha, hahaha, I'm a little expert at taking medicine~" Ian ran while raising the medicine bottle in his hand, and the liquid mixed with a handful of colorful pills rushed into his mouth.

It tastes very bitter.

However, this didn't stop him from chewing and swallowing the pills heartily. Bottle after bottle, he quickly finished all the medicine. It was very effective, and Ian noticed several changes appearing below his field of vision.

[Abnormal Heart Rate]

[Nerve paralysis]

Sensory overload

Metabolic dysregulation

Liver and kidney failure

Good guy!

A total of five negative states!

[Physical decline, experience +2]

have to say.

The medication prescribed by the doctor seemed to Ian to be working incredibly well.

"Dr. Hannibal is a miracle doctor!" Ian exclaimed sincerely, praising the psychiatrist he had been somewhat wary of before, as if he himself were on the verge of death.

but.

Though seemingly dead, he was not truly dead; he was merely as if he were. Yes, this was his ideal way to level up! Ian ran very fast, saving himself a bus fare upon arriving at school.

The morning classes were very simple.

However, Ian was slumped over the table and didn't listen.

[Physical condition continues to deteriorate, experience +3]

The boy is thinking.

He pondered whether his mental illness had worsened, and after thinking for a long time, he felt that he was probably cured—the teacher in class did not pay attention to the behavior of the top student in the grade being distracted.

but.

Madison, who sat next to Ian, seemed a little bothered, though not in the way of infatuation. She would turn to look at Ian from time to time, and after class, she finally couldn't hold back her confusion.

"Ian, why are your eyes rolling around like that... Holy crap! They're practically twinkling in the sunlight! Are you turning into a zombie?!" Madison was genuinely startled by Ian's state.

"Even if you turn into a zombie, don't bite me first! Go bite our principal, okay?!"

She shoved Ian's head, which was leaning in close, away with her hand.

They looked terrified.

And just then.

"Damn it! Madison! What did you do to me?!" Ian, who was immersed in the upgrade experience, suddenly cleared his eyes and after a moment of stunned silence, became somewhat exasperated.

He had already accumulated seven abnormal states.

It's all gone now!

I even felt quite refreshed!

My body feels amazing, just like after using [Self-Healing Frenzy]!

I need everything! I especially need to keep reading! Waaaaah! The data is a little off, waaaaah.

Chapter 30 Ian and His Backup Plan

Ian, furious, spoke loudly.

His questioning of Madison immediately drew the attention of his classmates. The whispers in the classroom ceased abruptly. More than thirty pairs of eyes, filled with astonishment, turned to Ian.

"what?"

Madison's hand was still suspended in mid-air, in the same position she had used to push Ian. She slowly withdrew her hand, her expression puzzled, clearly not understanding why Ian had reacted so strongly.

"Yo~"

Whistling came from the back of the classroom, coming from the most mischievous student in the class. Soon after, several other students joined in the commotion, as if they thought there was some love-hate relationship between Ian and Madison.

Everyone crowded around, eager to see what was going on.

"No, no, no, there's no story between me and this guy that you can laugh about. This guy's just gone crazy. I don't even know why he's reacting so strongly!"

Madison rolled his eyes at everyone.

She's an expert at rolling her eyes.

"A young man's blush is better than any sophistry." Someone spoke in a high-pitched voice from the crowd. It was a classmate who liked to play pranks. The onlookers' eyes began to look more ambiguous.

"Eddie, what kind of shit are you spewing from your mouth?"

Madison pouted, looking confused. She turned to Ian, who was shaking an empty medicine bottle, and was also startled. "Damn it, why are you blushing at a time like this!"

The blonde girl was also getting a little angry.

"I'm so angry! So angry! Do you know how much you've caused me?" Ian immediately retorted, his voice still carrying a hint of indignation.

He was calculating his losses.

The more you calculate.

The more Ian felt his heart bleed, the more he thought about how if he ever encountered a formidable enemy and was just a few points short of experience before dying on the spot, he would haunt his classmate even after he became a ghost.

"?????"
