Matthew Atkinson
London
"Student Russell, don't be discouraged. I know you have excellent academic performance. With your grades, you will definitely have no problem getting into a prestigious university. You will still be able to become a useful person to society in the future."
"As for this Kryptonian Bloodline Card in your hand, I personally suggest that you give it up! Maybe my words were a little unpleasant. But if you really merge this bloodline that has no abilities, it might not be a good thing! Supernatural Realm is a dangerous place."
On the stage, the vice principal comforted Natalie Russell.
This was the first time the vice-principal had given such a long speech since she appeared.
And the advice she gave to Natalie was indeed based on Natalie's consideration.
Because, whether it is Devil Fruit or an Extraordinary Bloodline, once you choose to use it, you will be forced to embark on the supernatural path and go into the Supernatural Realm.
The path to the supernatural is not always smooth. On the contrary, this road is full of deadly dangers!
Acquiring a poor Extraordinary Bloodline and embarking on the path of the supernatural is simply the same as committing suicide...
Upon hearing this, Natalie Russell showed a conflicted look on her pretty face.
Although she was a top student, deep down, she yearned to be supernatural.
Because if she wants to fulfill her obsession, she must have strength.
But...
This bloodline was really useless!
She knew that what the vice principal said made sense.
Just when she was at a loss.
Suddenly, a voice was heard from the audience.
"Hey!"
Then, a boy quickly stepped out of the line and ran all the way up to the platform.
The boy seemed a little excited, and he was holding a crystal box in his hands.
Natalie remembered this boy. He was the center of attention for the entire audience and had obtained an extremely rare Logia Devil Fruit.
However, she didn't know what his purpose was in suddenly rushing here.
"Student Matthew, what can I do for you?" The vice principal asked.
If other students dared to make trouble, they would have been scolded away by her.
But she was very polite to Matthew.
Matthew didn't waste any words. He walked straight up to Natalie and said, "Miss Russell, I want to use my Flame-Flame Fruit in exchange for your Kryptonian Bloodline Card!"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Everyone's eyes widened instantly.
As long as both parties were willing to exchange extraordinary opportunities, there was certainly no problem.
However, the problem was that on one side was a highly precious and powerful Logia Devil Fruit, and on the other side was a bloodline card that was generally recognized as useless... Such an exchange was abnormal, regardless of how you look at it.
The vice-principal and Natalie Russell were both stunned, thinking they had misheard.
In the audience, when the students came to their senses, they were even more shocked.
"Did I hear correctly? He actually wants to use the Flame-Flame Fruit to exchange for the bizarre Kryptonian Bloodline?"
"Is there something seriously wrong with this guy's brain? No normal person would do such a thing!"
"It must be a joke, or else it's pure idiocy!"
"Could it be that he has a crush on Natalie Russell and wants to use this trick to win her heart?"
"It's possible! But doing so is still stupid. As long as you eat the Flame-Flame Fruit, there is no girl you can't get."
"I know these kinds of people. They're just simps! They always do unexpected things."
Most people were talking, making the schoolyard noisy.
It was Matthew's behavior that made everyone feel incomprehensible.
Among them, the one who felt the most puzzled and unwilling was undoubtedly Amy Barker.
She had said such obvious things before, but Matthew walked away without hesitation and said that she was sick. This was a massive blow to her, causing her to lose face.
At first, Amy thought that the price she offered was not high enough, so she planned to talk to Matthew alone after the test was over.
In order to obtain the Flame-Flame Fruit, she was even prepared to give herself to Matthew and spend the night with him.
Unexpectedly.
In the blink of an eye, that bastard actually "fell in love with someone else"?
Taking the Flame-Flame Fruit that she had been longing for, he ran to propose to Natalie Russell.
Hearing the discussions around her, Amy was so angry that her face turned purple. In the end, she couldn't help but burst into tears with a "uwa", scaring many of the classmates around her...
…
"Student Matthew, are you serious?"
On the stage, the vice-president frowned and said, "We're filming right now, don't make jokes like that. It's going to have a very bad impact!"
She had already said it very politely and tactfully.
Everyone who knows her knows that she is highly conservative. To put it bluntly, she is stubborn and hates students who break the rules the most.
"Of course I'm serious!"
Matthew kept looking at Natalie Russell and said seriously, "Miss Russell, are you willing to exchange with me?"
To outsiders, his serious demeanor reveals his deep affection.
Even Natalie herself was wondering if the boy in front of her was so infatuated with love that he did such a ridiculous thing.
Natalie Russell looked at the Flame-Flame Fruit in Matthew's hand. She really wanted it.
However, her conscience told her that she should not take away other people's opportunities.
So, Natalie shook her head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Atkinson, but this is your supernatural opportunity. I can't accept it."
Hearing this, Matthew was stunned!
Earlier, when he heard what was said about the Kryptonian Bloodline in the audience, he couldn't contain his desire and rushed out without thinking much.
Others may not know how powerful Kryptonians are, but didn't he know?
That was Superman, known as the "Man of Steel" or "God on Earth."
As to why everyone regarded the Kryptonian Bloodline as useless, Matthew had an idea about that.
Because of this world.
This world has lost its sunlight. Long before the Holy Land appeared in this world.
It doesn't mean that the sun has completely disappeared. If the sun really disappeared, most of the life on this planet would also become extinct.
In fact, the star was still there, but most of its light was blocked by a terrible, mysterious force. When it shone on the blue planet, the light became very weak.
When the sunlight disappeared, human society experienced great panic and chaos.
However, after more than a hundred years, people have long been accustomed to the gloomy sky.
Those who are familiar with DC Comics know that Superman's abilities and growth are inseparable from sunlight.
To be precise, it was the cells in the body of a Kryptonian that could convert stellar radiation into their own energy, rapidly becoming stronger.
In DC Comics, there have been numerous versions of Superman.
The reason these Supermans were different was that they absorbed different stellar radiation.
…
That was Matthew's conclusion.
But… Since there was no sunlight, why did he still want to use the Flame-Flame Fruit to exchange for the Kryptonian Bloodline?
Because he knew where to get sunlight...
For Matthew, this was a big gamble!
Even though there was a possibility of failure, he still went forward without hesitation.
That was not just a Supernatural Bloodline! That was God's Legacy.
If his bet was successful, he would acquire the Kryptonian Bloodline, and through "artificial sunlight," he would become stronger. In the future, he will most likely become an invincible warrior, a god on earth!
More importantly, if his bet were right, he would become stronger very quickly, and the method of improvement would be extremely simple... just lie down and bask in the sunlight.
Matthew was a lazy person. Not totally lazy, but still lazy.
After transmigrating, he didn't want to spend every day in training.
So, was there any talent that suited him better than this?
That was why Matthew definitely didn't want to miss this chance!
But despite all his calculations, he hadn't anticipated that Natalie Russell actually had a conscience. Even in the face of the temptation of the Flame-Flame Fruit, she could resist and refused the exchange.
What era is this? Are there still such naive people?
Faced with Natalie Russell's rejection, Matthew was momentarily at a loss.
Because in his expectation, no one could refuse a Logia Devil Fruit!
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and said immediately:
"Miss Russell, don't you want the Flame-Flame Fruit?"
"I do! But this is your supernatural opportunity, and even more so your future. I can't accept it." She said.
"Really? Don't you want to kill that monster king in the abyss?"
Hearing this, Natalie was shocked and looked at Matthew.
Matthew ignored the girl's complicated look and continued to bewitch her, "If you really want to kill that monster, your only chance is right before you. Only by eating this Flame-Flame Fruit and becoming a king-level warrior in the future can you hope to achieve your dream and let your mother rest in peace!"
Hearing this, Natalie Russell finally wavered.
She was not surprised that Matthew knew her past, as many people were aware of the disaster that had occurred that year.
"What about you?"
She looked at Matthew and asked, "This is your supernatural opportunity. If you give it to me, what will you do?"
