Chapter 1: Chapter 1
The United States, in a California high school.
A boy sits on a school bench while yawning in boredom.
In front of the class, the teacher explains the basic knowledge of physics to his students.
Yves looked helplessly at the teacher; this whole lesson was boring nonsense.
This class is quite messy; there are a lot of tools on every student's desk; these tools will be used by students to assemble some of the stuff they usually imagine.
Meanwhile, the teacher will only drink coffee while reading a newspaper at the front desk.
This American education is fully reflected in this class. If you're a genius, then this class is the stage where you can grow up. If not, then you can enjoy this 'fun' time...
The physics teacher has completed his teaching, now replaced by an experimental class that frees up every student to assemble something at their convenience. Eventually, boring lessons were replaced by relaxing classes.
Yves tilted his head for a moment; it's been about a month since he got Isekai'ed into this world; in one month, he finally knew where the world he was in.
When it comes to Isekai, I'm afraid everyone will say that this is mere nonsense. But, hey, the proof is that this happened to him...
This year is 1938, the year before the 2nd World War began. In this world, there is Stark Industries that Yves knows very well. Still, on the other hand, there is also Gotham City and Metropolis, which is undoubtedly very confusing and shocking.
Two things from different universes now merge into one world? It's not clear if this world is Marvel or DC.
"Hey, Yves, don't keep daydreaming; our teacher is asking us to test the principle of power generation."
"Hey, don't try to ignore me. Are you sleepy? Don't tell me you've been playing games all night?"
As in every novel and fiction, the protagonist will always be accompanied by some childhood friends on his side. Olly is his name; this guy's an African American, a friend since his childhood.
Yves shook his head with a shrug, "Not really; I did a few little experiments last night. There was no time to play games; I thought I would soon find a great invention!" He said casually, after which Yves took a screw and a few parts of the tool and started assembling.
On Yves' desk was a pretty strange round object; it was made with iron and wrapped around the wire in several parts. The little detail in the middle may not be visible from afar, but how should I say it up close? It seems like this thing is very familiar.
Other students might laugh when they see their classmates making weird stuff like this, but for Yves? He'll laugh at them back; this thing is nothing but the famous Arc Reactor!
Well... Even if this is just a replica, umm... A tiny replica. Indeed Yves still hasn't been able to make an original reactor, so he can only make a replica of it.
Ever since he came into this world, God's gift has been straightforward. No cheats, no superpowers, not at all.
But hey, at least he's got a little villa and many books inherited from his worldly parents.
No less and no more. Is this fate sad? Not really; even if Yves doesn't get the System, there are still many ways to get to the top of this world.
For now, he doesn't have to complain; in the future, there will be a good chance that he can increase his strength.
Seeing his friend busy assembling a strange object made Olly suspicious and afraid. It's not that he doesn't trust his friend; it's just that a month ago, Yves' father conducted an experiment that nearly cost his son his life.
Fortunately, Yves' luck was high; he still survived that terrible event.
'Will this guy imitate his father's footsteps?' Olly murmured in his heart; a slight sweat appeared on his temples.
Yves, who looked at Olly's suspicious eyes and afraidness, could only chuckle slightly. He knows what his friend is thinking right now.
A month ago, the owner of the original body was killed by an agent who blew up an entire science building with a high-intensity bomb. This incident is closely linked to his father, who worked in the building. Most likely also connected with the Military people.
It's a good thing that Yves, who was there, was just hit by the shockwave from the explosion.
Of course, this incident caused a particular surprise at the time. However, Yves' father was a top scientist.
'The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree.' Maybe this classic quote is attached tightly to Yves; his father is a top scientist; of course, his son would not be much different, right?
"Hey man, don't look at me like that; people will think you're gay. Trust me, I'm not building a bomb!" Yves said in a jesting tone, looking very relaxed and natural.
Hearing his friend's reply, Olly sighed in relief as he patted his chest several times, "Thank God, I thought you would make dangerous stuff. If you die, then with whom can I play games in the future?"
"Don't waste your life, my friend. Your father is a top scientist; surely you will achieve the same bright achievement in the future!" Olly said as he nodded a few times.
"By the way, are you going to play in the park after school?"
This year is the 1930s; there is no exciting device such as smartphones, computers, etc. Even the quality of movies this year is so bad, it's hard to find instant entertainment.
The only thing that could please the children might be playing with cards or hide-and-seek. But does Yves want to do this? Of course not; it would be a shame to play with children as adults like him.
Yves' mind is in his twenties, so you want him to play with these little kids?
"Sorry man, maybe I won't be able to keep you company." Yves shook his head.
"Well, I knew you'd say this. I know you'd instead read than going to the park to play." Olly smiled broadly, showing his sharp white teeth towards Yves.
"Not really." Yves waves his hand.
"Sometimes, people need to look to the future, mate. I can't keep playing and relaxing."
"By the way, if you're interested, could you take me to the market tonight? I need some stuff for my next experiment."
Yves invited his best friend warmly. Of course, the intense physicality of his friend will ease his burden when shopping later.
Yves was a little envious looking at his friend's physique; even before he matured, his body had been defined by powerful muscles! People of African American descent indeed have an excellent physical predisposition.
Hearing her friend's request, Olly looked a little frowny and frail. He knows very well the character of his friend; this man is nothing but an asshole.
Every time he says something good, he'll definitely make him a coolie.
"Be sure not to buy too much, I don't want to pick up all the stuff you bought!"
"But if you pay me ten dollars... Hehehe~" And here we go again, Olly's move is finally launched. Of course, if he gets paid, he'll be happy to help his friend.
Ten bucks for help lifting things? This year hasn't even touched the second World War, and this guy's asking for ten dollars?
One dollar of this era can feed three families for one week!
"Greedy bastard, now I regret to make friends with you!" Yves said in jest, "What if I treat you food?"
"Deal!" Olly nodded immediately; of course, the ten dollars were just an expression of his candlelight. He knows his friend's economy very well.
After that brief conversation, Yves again resumed his simple experiment.
In this class, it's probably just Yves who looks really serious; most of the other students have fallen asleep because of the free subject at this time.
In this dangerous world, Yves can't keep relaxing; all he can do now is just keep fighting and honing his knowledge.
This knowledge will turn into a weapon against future enemies!
Now that Gotham City has appeared, Wonder Woman will also appear in World War II, followed by Captain America, Steve Rogers!
