Chapter 148: Chapter 146: The End of the Vacation
HeLa watched as Damian was surrounded by a group of mothers, all showing concern and care for him. There was a complicated emotion in her eyes.
She couldn't help but recall the scenes of her own training when she was young.
Back then, there was no such warm care.
She had to apply medicine to her own wounds, enduring the pain alone; she had to find someone to repair her weapons, rushing around for the next battle.
No one cared whether she was tired or badly hurt, only how many people she had killed, whether she was strong enough, and whether she was ready for the next brutal fight—her life seemed to be consumed only by weapons and combat.
"HeLa, HeLa, HeLa!"
A loud call broke her out of her thoughts.
HeLa turned her head, looking at the worried faces in front of her. Without thinking, she threw a punch.
Ouch—
"What are you doing? Spacing out one moment, then punching someone the next?"
Chino looked at HeLa, who was hiding her hand behind her back in embarrassment.
"This is a question I should ask you! Why did you suddenly come so close?!"
HeLa winced as her hand hurt. His face was harder than iron—no, iron wasn't as hard as his face.
Chino frowned, rubbing his cheek where HeLa had hit him. "I saw you spacing out for a while and called your name several times, but you didn't respond. I just wanted to see if you were okay."
HeLa snorted, "Who told you to approach without saying a word? Can you blame me?"
"You're the one who hit me. How can you blame yourself?"
Chino glanced at HeLa's hand still hidden behind her back.
"Fine, it's my fault. But what were you thinking so deeply about?"
"Nothing, just some annoying memories."
HeLa didn't want to say much more, so she turned her head away.
Chino didn't push her and reached to pull her hand out from behind her back.
"What are you doing?!"
HeLa struggled, trying to pull her hand back.
"Stop moving, let me see your hand."
Chino looked at her hand, which was swollen like a steamed bun.
"You used full force to punch me, didn't you?"
"None of your business. This little injury will be fine in no time."
HeLa stubbornly replied.
"Just let me heal it. You're acting like you're about to fight a giant."
Chino helplessly let go of her hand.
"Hmph, mind your own business."
"Yeah, it's all my fault."
"...Why did you have me train that little girl? With your position, you could have just given her some power, and it would have been easier than training her yourself."
After a brief silence, HeLa asked.
"Damian is still too young. Even though she's mentally mature, gaining immense power too early wouldn't be good for her.
And as for extraordinary powers, I haven't chosen one for her yet. Or, once she grows up, she can choose on her own, and you, as her teacher, can also give her advice."
Chino fell into deep thought—magic rings, Shazam, demon contracts, mutant abilities, magic, and power-enhancing items... sometimes having too many choices isn't necessarily a good thing.
HeLa watched Chino in deep thought and sneered slightly. "What do you mean by 'haven't chosen yet'? If the Demon King is considering her, her strength must be pretty high."
She then thought about Odin.
"This is so annoying. Who cares if it's not chosen yet?"
HeLa shouted irritably, turning and walking toward the bathroom.
"If you haven't chosen, then fine, why scream so loud?"
Chino looked at her in confusion.
Venom walked over and wrapped his arms around Chino's.
"Chino, this is the first time you've been defeated by a woman."
"She's still just a girl, and I'm not Dao Le. How could I be liked by everyone?"
Chino shrugged.
"Chino, I'm also injured. Help me heal it."
Dark Phoenix also brought her swollen hand to Chino.
"Stop deliberately hurting yourself. I will get angry."
HeLa sat in the bathroom, looking at her now-healed hand.
"Mind your own business..."
She quickly washed her face and sat down at the dining table.
Pamela also brought three little ones down. Seeing HeLa, they immediately gathered around her.
"HeLa, I had a dream last night where I was making a snowman, then hugged it. It was so cold, but so comfortable," said Xiao Yu.
"Oh..."
"Damian, let's go ride sharks in the sea later. I sensed a group of sharks nearby," said Nina.
"Sure..."
"But I heard from dad that sharks will eat people. Will they bite us?" Penny asked.
"Don't worry, I can control them. Plus, with you and HeLa being so powerful, if they bite, we'll turn them into grilled fish," Nina said.
"HeLa and Damian are so strong," Penny added.
Damian and HeLa exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly.
The joyful vacation had to come to an end.
The little ones, downhearted, returned to school, even Nina was sent in.
Originally, they had wanted to send HeLa as well, but after seeing her murderous gaze, they realized she would kill anyone who dared to send her.
So, they reluctantly placed her in the magic item team, where on her first day, she beat everyone except Frank.
She then became the coach of the magic item team.
HeLa was also quite interested in their weapons. The strange and powerful magic items fascinated her, and she thought they would come in handy when attacking Asgard.
Gwen returned to her home and solemnly told her parents she would be moving to the manor.
George had known this day would come, but still felt a sense of melancholy. He impulsively thought of taking a gun and shooting Chino.
Maria, on the other hand, was happy to help pack, muttering, "It's a good thing, our daughter has grown up."
Interestingly, the next day, George got promoted, which lifted his spirits. He thought maybe Chino wasn't so bad after all.
Quinn and Dark Phoenix went to help Professor X. Of course, only Quinn helped, while Dark Phoenix went for revenge; she still hadn't forgotten their previous grudges.
Xi returned to hell, where things had been getting busy with all the tasks piling up.
Pamela continued to cultivate various plants, enjoying herself immensely.
Among them, the busiest was Tom.
There wasn't much going on in the main world, so he was assigned to open branches in other worlds.
The time flow in those worlds wasn't adjusted by Chino, or else Tom might not have been able to keep up.
Chino felt a little guilty and gave him a rejuvenating potion.
Tom, however, said, "I will not disappoint the boss's trust!"
Chino's conscience was slightly pricked.
He marveled again at how useful the demon contract was. Without it, Tom wouldn't be so devoted to working so hard.
Although Tom wasn't around, someone still needed to manage the company. Therefore, Chino had to step in and experience the joy of being the boss.
During this time, he met Lorna a few times and exchanged some words.
Lorna only nodded coldly in response, making Chino wonder if Tony had been lying to him—was that what "liking" someone looked like?
However, each time Lorna appeared in front of him, she was dressed in various styles and had perfume on.
Oh, right.
Lorna also met Jenna and Nina, and the three got along well, with Nina sweetly calling Lorna "sister."
Only Erik was kept in the dark.
Meanwhile, Captain America, in order to earn contribution points, went to be a test subject for Banner's enhanced serum.
Of course, Banner didn't go too far—just took some bone marrow and tissue samples, and paid him a generous reward.
During this time, Chino also found Killian. Instead of killing him, he made him sign a demon contract.
Such a brilliant mind shouldn't be wasted.
After a month, Banner, Connors, Hank, and Killian worked together and completed the 2.0 and 3.0 versions of the enhancement serum.
