SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL

"Leo, don't be discouraged. I know your grades are excellent. With your scores, getting into a prestigious university is definitely not a problem. You can still become a valuable asset to society in the future."

"As for the Kryptonian bloodline card in your hand, my personal suggestion is that you give it up!"

"Perhaps what I'm saying sounds a bit harsh."

"But!!"

"Fusing with a bloodline that doesn't have any abilities might not be a good thing!"

On the stage, the vice-principal was comforting Leo. This was the first time she had spoken at such length since appearing. Her advice to Leo was truly for his own good.

Because whether it's a Devil Fruit or a supernatural bloodline, once you choose to use it, you are forced onto the path of the extraordinary.

And that path is not smooth.

On the contrary, it is full of deadly dangers!

Obtaining such a weak supernatural bloodline and embarking on the extraordinary path was no different from courting death…

Upon hearing this, a look of struggle appeared on Leo's face.

Although he was a top student, he secretly yearned for the extraordinary!

Because, to fulfill the obsession in his heart, he had to become strong.

But…

This bloodline was indeed very weak!

He knew the vice-principal was right.

Just as he was at a loss, a voice suddenly rang out from below the stage.

"Wait!!"

A male student quickly stepped forward and ran onto the high platform.

Leo recognized him.

It was Ben.

Earlier, he had been the center of attention for obtaining an extremely rare Logia-type Devil Fruit.

But what was he planning to do now by suddenly running up here?

"Student Ben, is there something you need?"

The vice-principal asked.

If any other student had caused a disturbance, she would have scolded them immediately.

But she seemed very polite to Ben.

Ben didn't waste any words. He stepped directly to Leo and said,

"Leo, I want to use the Flare-Flare Fruit in my hand to exchange for your Kryptonian bloodline card!"

The entire audience was shocked!!

Everyone's eyes widened instantly.

As long as both parties agreed, there was no problem in exchanging extraordinary opportunities.

But the issue was that one side had an extremely precious and powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit, while the other side had a bloodline card recognized as trash…

No matter how you looked at it, such an exchange seemed ridiculous!

The vice-principal and Leo both showed stunned expressions, thinking they had misheard.

Below the stage, students regained their senses and started whispering.

"? ? ? I didn't hear wrong, did I? He actually wants to use the Flare-Flare Fruit to exchange for the Kryptonian bloodline?"

"Is there something seriously wrong with this guy's brain? No normal person would do this!"

"He must be joking, or he's just a complete idiot!"

"Could it be that he secretly has a crush on Leo and wants to use this trick to win his heart?"

"It's possible! But doing this is still foolish. With the Flare-Flare Fruit, he could have anything he wanted!"

"I can understand it though—he's a simp! Simps always do unexpected things."

Most people were discussing the situation, making the playground noisy.

Ben's behavior was simply incomprehensible to everyone.

Among them, the most puzzled and unwilling person was undoubtedly Clara.

She had already given him obvious signals before, but Ben walked away without hesitation and even called her sick.

That was a huge blow to her pride, and it made her unable to save face.

At first, Clara thought she hadn't offered enough.

So, she planned to talk to Ben privately after the test.

For the Flare-Flare Fruit, she was even prepared to offer herself and spend a night with Ben.

Unexpectedly…

In the blink of an eye, that bastard actually "changed his affections"?

Taking the Flare-Flare Fruit she had been longing for and running to woo Leo instead?

Hearing the discussions around her, Clara's face turned pale with anger, and finally, she couldn't help but cry out, scaring many students nearby…

...

"Student Ben, are you serious?"

On the stage, the vice-principal frowned.

"We are filming now. Don't make such jokes. It's a very bad influence!"

She had spoken very politely.

Those who knew her knew she was particularly strict and couldn't stand students who broke the rules.

"Of course, I'm serious!"

Ben's eyes were locked onto Leo as he said,

"Leo, are you willing to exchange with me?"

His serious expression seemed affectionate!

Even Leo himself was wondering—

Had this guy been overwhelmed by love? Was that why he was making such a shocking move?

Looking at the Flare-Flare Fruit in Ben's hand, Leo really wanted it.

However, his conscience told him that he couldn't take someone else's opportunity.

So, he shook his head.

"Student Ben, thank you, but this is your extraordinary opportunity. I can't take it."

Hearing these words, Ben was dumbfounded!

Before, when he heard it was the Kryptonian bloodline, he couldn't suppress the desire in his heart and rushed up without thinking.

Others didn't understand the power of Kryptonians, but he did.

That's the Great Superman!

The "God of Humanity"!

As for why the Superman bloodline was considered garbage, Ben already had a guess.

This world had forever lost the sunlight.

It wasn't that the sun had disappeared entirely—if that happened, most life would go extinct.

The star still existed.

But a terrible mysterious force blocked most of its light.

The sunlight that reached Blue Star was very weak.

When the sun disappeared, human society experienced panic and riots.

However, after more than a hundred years, people had grown accustomed to the gloomy sky.

And those familiar with DC comics knew—

Superman's abilities came from sunlight.

Specifically, Kryptonian cells convert stellar radiation into energy, making them stronger.

In DC comics, many versions of Superman exist.

They differ based on the type of stellar radiation they absorb.

...

That was Ben's judgment.

Since there was no sunlight anymore, why would he still exchange the Flare-Flare Fruit for the Kryptonian bloodline?

Because he knew where to get sunlight...

For Ben, this was a gamble!

There was a chance of failure.

But if he succeeded—

He would become an invincible powerhouse!

The God of Humanity!

More importantly, his training method would be simple.

Just lie down and bask in the sun.

Ben was lazy.

Since transmigrating, he didn't want to spend every day training.

Tell him, was there any talent more suitable than this?

So, Ben definitely didn't want to miss this chance!

He had calculated everything—

Except for one thing.

Leo had an inexplicable conscience!

He actually refused the exchange?

Faced with Leo's rejection, Ben was really confused.

Because in his expectation, no one could refuse a Logia-type Devil Fruit!

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

"Leo, you don't want the Flare-Flare Fruit?"

"I want it! But this is your extraordinary opportunity. I can't take it."

"Really? Don't you want to kill the Monster King in the Abyss?"

Hearing this, Leo's body shook.

His eyes met Ben's.

Ben ignored the complicated look in his eyes and continued to persuade him.

"If you really want to kill that monster, the only chance is right in front of you. Only by eating this Flare-Flare Fruit and becoming a King-level powerhouse can you hope to achieve your goal and let your mother rest in peace!"

Hearing this, Leo finally wavered.

He wasn't surprised Ben knew his past.

Many people knew about the Henry family's tragedy.

"Then what about you?"

Leo asked.

"This is your extraordinary opportunity. If you give it to me, what will you do?"
