*Adrian POV*
"Felicia…" My tone was as dry as it could be, as I said her na not showing any of the emotions she wanted to see.
Felicia's eyes narrowed a bit as I could sense a flicker of annoyance from her while she pressed her body harder against until she was practically hanging off of .
" Why the cold shoulder Adrian~, With our relationship you don't have to be so 'stiff'... do you?" Felicia purred while stressing the word stiff as if implying sothing making my eyebrows twitch.
"What relationship? " I asked feigning confusion and I could see the subtle twitch of Felicia's lips showcasing her frustration.
But to her credit she didn't get rage baited and just played it off as she continued to co off on .
" What do you say , why don't we ditch class… for so fun… just the two of us~ " Felicia purred while slightly nipping at my ears , making let out a sigh as I pushed her aside.
I was tempted that was why I needed to stay away from her , she was totally my type but I had this feeling that it wouldn't end well.
And after what happened recently, I really wasn't in the mood to get hurt again….
…..
*3rd Person*
Felicia's eyes widened slightly as she was stunned when Adrian pushed her aside and moved past her.
A hint of vulnerability passed through her green orbs as they misted over slightly.
Her stunned expression morphed into a scowl as she clenched her fists and gazed at Adrian's receding back…..
...
*Adrian POV*
It was pretty hard for to walk away from a hot girl like Felicia who was practically throwing herself at , but I didn't give in since I knew things would only get ssy.
I don't trust myself enough to not like her , and I don't want to be in this ssy situation.
So the smart choice was to stay away from her.
The relationship I had with Felicia was a complicated one to begin with , and calling it an impulsive mistake wasn't too far fetched.
Haah…What's done is done
It was just a purely physical relationship in the end….
...
What the heck is wrong with kids these days?
This was a question I needed an answer to, as my jaw tightened as I gazed at another victim of bullying , but this ti it was personal.
Being nice doesn't really pay off does it ?
Hero…heh..

*Peni Parker POV*

"Peni…"
'Oh no!' I could feel my face burning up in sha when I heard the voice of the person I least wanted to see.
" A-Adrian.." I couldn't look him straight in the eyes , not while being covered by mac and cheese from head to toe.
" Co on let's get you cleaned up.." I heard Adrian's calm voice and by the ti I gazed back at him he was already moving towards the washroom.
My steps beca a little lighter since my concerns were for naught.
Why did I even think Adrian would laugh at ? Or see like a clown.
A fond smile crept up on my face as I jogged over beside Adrian.
Adrian was always like this… Kind and warm….
...
*Adrian POV*
I really wish to give the Flash treatnt to the girls who poured food over Peni , but in the end I held it in since she said it was just an accident.
With her soft and introverted nature it should feel like that to her , slipping and dropping the food content all over her .. sohow by accident, that too this much food!
Who the hell even eats this much Mac and cheese ?
I don't rember 'Gorlock the Destroyer' studying at our school. ( Check on YouTube, you wouldn't be dissapointed)
Haah… leave it , I'll just intervene if things get out of hand.
I can't always be there for Peni , and it was better for her to develop her own confidence.
The bullying towards Peni hadn't been anything too much and this was the first ti anything of this scale happened to her leaving a bit surprised.
But in the end it wasn't anything physical, so I was relieved since I didn't want to make those girls have intimate contact with the toilet sink , since doing that to a dude and a girl was inherently different.
Sigh…double standards… but it was how the world functioned.
…..
I leaned beside the entrance of the washroom and I could hear slight rustling sounds making my body feel a bit warm and tingly.
I gazed at the culprit responsible for my new situation as I tried my best to keep my mind occupied with scientific thoughts.
[ Enhanced Hearing ]
[ Increases with the stats of the host's body. Current limit = slightly above peak human ]
Lending so clothes to Peni and helping her out was also considered heroic and I got lucky with the draw since I got an ability that was useful.
But I need to learn to control since right now it was making feel overwheld especially with Peni changing inside the girls restroom beside .
Hearing her clothes rustle would make visualise her naked making curse myself for thinking of Peni like that especially since she was such a sweet girl.
Although I berated myself it was still hard to not think about it especially when I'm trying my best to not think about it….
...
I wondered if those clothes would fit her , but it shouldn't be too bad since the ones I have were clothes I got before I hit my growth spurt.
The system gifted clothes too , which were very durable maybe due to them being suitable for doing hero work if ever do it.
The look and design may be concise and bland but the quality and durability were the best.
While my mind was preoccupied with the thought about clothes I sensed movent beside and turned to it only to be t with an awkward Peni who was a bit flushed.
" T-Thanks Adrian!... You are always looking out for …" Peni mumbled in a low tone but I was able to hear her clearly as I ruffled her head making her slap my hand away in embarrassnt making chuckle.
"It's what friends do dummy~ " Despite her adorable pout I patted her head once again making Peni huff as she protectively covered her head.
" Friends huh …" Peni muttered.
But I didn't miss her slightly disappointed tone…. And I wasn't dense enough to not know why she was disappointed.
But I could only act the part of the oblivious idiot since I didn't want to hurt her feelings or hurt our relationship because I just couldn't use Peni as a replacent.
So I could only apologise to her, because it wouldn't be fair to her….
…..
Peni walked beside while fidgeting a bit as I couldn't help but nod to myself in appreciation since Peni looked very attractive in the new clothes.
The fabric of the clothes clung to Peni's petite but full curves showcasing her cuteness and feminine attractiveness.
But I didn't stare for too long and moved my gaze since I didn't want Peni to catch staring, not that I think she would mind….
….
" Did you think about my offer , Peni? I had talked about your matter to Susan and she was positive about giving you a chance…" I decided to break the silence to prevent my thoughts from wandering too much.
"Really! B-But do you really think I could do it ? What if I ss up , I don't want to cause trouble for you by recomnding a ss like .." Peni said in a depreciating manner making want to face palm in frustration.
'This girl!' I couldn't help but feel annoyed at her , for putting herself down like this.
" Ashrian?!" Peni exclaid in confusion as I squished her cheeks together as I could feel the confusion and embarrassnt oozing out of her.
" Peni , how many tis have I told you not to sell yourself short like this , if you're trying to be modest then stop it , because it's insulting.." I said seriously as I could see a panicked expression appear on her face.
" N-No I didn't an it like that…" Peni stuttered as her eyes misted over a little and she looked like she was about to cry , I felt bad but it was necessary.
" I know… I know you didn't an it like that, I said all that because I want you to be more confident in your talents… the things you built in your garage with those scraps , do you think any normal high schooler could do that ? " I patted Peni's head gently as I brushed away her, still forming tears.
I wanted the best for Peni and wanted her to start with her self esteem which was a bit too low.
Was it her lack of big curves compared to girls like MJ or Felicia ? I didn't know but if it were the case then she really didn't have much to worry about because she was plenty cute and her sweet personality was a huge bonus in itself. Not to ntion she wasn't lacking any femininity.
" You are bullying again…" Penni pouted, making chuckle as I ruffled her hair , but this ti she didn't show any annoyance.
" It's not bullying , it's just looking out for you…" I shrugged , because in my defence that is exactly what I was doing.
[ Heroic Activity detected , inspired a person to believe in themselves more , nothing more heroic than inspiring soone to be better! ]
[ Soul Swap Card ( C) ] ( C= Consumable)
[ Swap souls with anyone you want , I wonder what use it could be ? ;) ;) ]
My lips twitched at the useless reward as the description was brief but concise and I could perfectly understand what this reward could be used for and it made have the urge to bang my head against the wall.
What's with the winks? What did this 'Heroic' system think I would use this borderline hentai sounding item for ?
One ti use and once my soul is swapped I can't switch back.
But on second thought It isn't that useless since , I could theoretically swap my soul back if my Soul ever gets displaced , if such an ability ever existed in the first place.
Not that it was impossible.
But was my system connected to my body or soul ?
...
*Unknown POV*
' So fragile yet so pure ..' the puppy in question just tilted it's head at while sticking it's tongue out.
The perfect image of innocence and purity.
" If only I could see the world through your eyes little one.." of course the dog just gazed at with confusion before rolling over onto his back and showing his belly with his cute and silly smile.
I smiled… one of happiness and relief.
This was a welco distraction since being able to take my mind off of what I was about to do was a reward in itself.
But I didn't touch the dog, because I was unworthy.
These hands stained with blood and sin do not deserve to taint sothing as pure as it…..
…..
The noise , the chatter , the buzz.
People talking and laughing with zero clue about the event that was about to transpire in a few hours.
I felt guilt, but my guilt was like spitting in their faces since feeling guilty for my actions doesn't make feel better.
On the contrary it only makes feel worse.
But I still have to fulfill my duty, follow my orders , since I'm just a tool and tools don't have emotions.
*Squeal!*
A loud squeak reminiscent of a dying animal ca from behind the door beside as an uncomfortable feeling bubbled up in my chest.
The door swung wide as a bald head and signature bullseye tattoo ca into my view.
Unironically this guy called himself Bullseye, but that wasn't what bothered , the thing that bothered was the dead puppy in his hand , and its head was twisted at an unnatural angle with its eyes still wide in terror.
It was the sa puppy that had made feel a semblance of comfort.
"I thought it was so spy robot disguised as a dog , but it just turned out to be a mutt… what a let down~ " Bullseye toyed with the corpse of the dog while lying through his teeth.
But I didn't give him an answer and just turned my gaze back to the apartnt building. I was in no position to question him about the reason for his actions when I already knew the cause.
Not to ntion that dog was just the first of the casualties of tonight, and one more tally into my sins.
"Tsk!" I heard the bastard click his tongue in disinterest as he hadn't gotten the reaction he wanted out of .
I want nothing more than to stab my Kunai through the center of his forehead but I stayed my hand since he and I were working together and I couldn't defy orders.
"The Big guy doesn't pay you to laze around babe~ " I heard the sleazy bastard's annoying voice as his disgusting gaze was ogling my body.
"My only job is to act as a bodyguard or backup in case things get out of hand…" My words were cold , colder than I had intended as I unsheathed my Katana and pressed it against the clown's neck as his hand was frozen a few inches away from my backside.
*Gulp*
"Try to touch again and you might have to start learning to throw things with your feet.." It wasn't a threat , it was a promise.
I wasn't in the mood to play gas or ss around and being surrounded by cold blooded people didn't help it either.
In this cruel world , either you kill or be killed…..
It's not that I have no kindness to give…but... I just can't afford it….
…..
*Adrian POV*
*Ding!*
My chi of notification rang out as I unlocked my screen to check what it was.
[ Ghost: Do we have a stream today, Chief?Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ ]
My expression beca a bit thoughtful before I typed out my response.
[ I don't think so , I am a bit busy with so things ] I typed back as I really didn't think I could stream today and I wasn't particularly feeling like it.
[ (˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥⋆) You broke our promise Chief!
（＞д＜）] ( Ghost )
[ Sorry man.. I'll try to do a stream soon , but life has just been a bit hectic nowadays ]
