Ch: 111 [Wanda’s weird confession]
[Peter's first person POV]
I'm sitting on my bed and I've finally managed to separate my soul out of my body without any help. The thing is, I thought that my soul's face would be different considering I'm another soul in Peter's body, but why the fuck do I look like Peter Parker in my soul or astral form? This is kinda weird. I thought I took over this body... But, now, I'm having some doubts.
Did I really reincarnate as Peter Parker and awaken my memories later? Or, is it something else?
Shit, it's better not to think too much about this kind of thing. Maybe I just want to know what really happened to Peter Parker. But now that I have the possibility of me being Peter from the beginning only to awaken my memories later... Shit! Well, let's not go into the past anymore and forget everything bad things I said about myself at the beginning after waking up, yeah?
Anyway, I'm satisfied with this progress.
Although I can't enter the Astral Plane, I can still practice magic in my astral form. Well, time to get back into my body. It's getting late and tomorrow we are going for combat practice. I'm gonna have a hard time. Yeah, I know how to fight, but without my Spider Senses, it will be hard. Better get some rest...
Just then the door opened, and Wanda entered the room.
She entered the room in silence. I saw her hesitating a few times.
"If you are here to blast me up again, I'll let you know that it was just an accident..." I prepped myself to open a portal, in case she throws in another bolt of magic. I have to time it perfectly and...
"I'm sorry. It was my fault. I overreacted and blasted you for no reason. You too are at fault for not closing your eyes, but I can't blame you either. After all, I did change right in front of your face," Wanda sighed and apologized.
"Nah, it's fine, really. I forgive you," I stood up and moved toward her.
"And I got something to confess..." She said with an awkward expression.
"Which is...?" I encouraged her to go ahead.
"About your injuries... I bathed you and saw you naked. I bathed you every day for eight months since magic wasn't working on you and I've cleaned you thoroughly... You know..." She babbled out as her head tilted downward while her toes rotated and a faint blush crept up on her face. She glanced at my face now and then. "I mean, I've washed your penis and all your intimate parts..."
Eehhh! She was taking care of me all this time? No, that's not the point. Why the heck is she talking about my cock? What kind of confession is this? Is she sane up there? I... I'm lost for words. I don't even know how to react. She washed me every day like a nurse or maybe... Could it be? No way! Why the heck did she go that far? Don't tell me I released my pheromone in my comatose state. But I doubt that would work on someone of her caliber. Besides, that ancient old woman would have noticed it.
Wanda waited for a moment as if allowing me to process everything she said.
"You are angry, right? For seeing you naked and touching things I shouldn't have. So... Do you hate me or disgusted with me? Are you perhaps angry and want to hit me? Go ahead then. I'll take a couple of blasts from you. After that, forget my panty incident, yeah? Go on, do it," She said quickly, her hands spread wide, daring me. "Please don't kick me out of the team." She mumbled softly.
Huh? What the heck is she talking about? Why the heck am I gonna hit her?
I walked over to her as she closed her eyes, ready to receive some blasts. I hugged her tightly. God! She feels so small in my arms. I have no idea what a teenage Wanda was like in the comics, but considering the future has changed drastically, so have our present. She is just a 19-year-old teenager who never had much human interaction, other than with her brother.
"Woah!" She squealed and went silent for a moment. She was rigid, perhaps out of shock.
"Don't you dare think that low of me," I whispered in her ears. "You saved me, nursed me, so, how did you even for a moment think that I'd get angry with you and go as far as to hit you? Seriously, what was going on in that little head of yours? Also, stop acting like that... Stop thinking all those stupid things... I know this is new to you, but trust me, I'm not angry with you and I'm not going to kick you out of the team. Okay? Promise. So please drop these stupid thoughts. Trust me," I assured.
After hearing my words, she hugged me back and we stood there for a moment. She isn't stiff anymore. Well, more than a couple of minutes.
"Thank you," She mumbled softly.
"I should be the one thanking you for taking care of me," I patted her head and she stepped back, blushing slightly.
"Well, I... I better go back. I'll let you sleep," She said pointing a finger toward the door.
"See you tomorrow then," I smiled and gave her a thumbs-up, which she didn't seem to know what to make of it but she did give me a smile and a nod.
I stood there like a stump for a few seconds after she left.
Ok, that went well, right?

[Next morning] [Training ground]
Today, Wong will be supervising our combat training. There were other students as usual, so full of energy and discipline. I mean, come on, guys, chill out a little. Stiffness is bad for your spine, man.
We did our stretching as instructed before we started.
Then, Wong divided us. There were ten platforms and we were supposed to fight one vs one.
Oh yeah, and... There was a protecting spell on my clothes to prevent any critical injuries.
"Choose your weapons or you can choose to fight barehand," Wong said, gesturing toward the piles of weapons at the back of the platforms.
I chose nothing. I'm not much of a sword or spear guy. I'll fight bare-handed. Although I can't use my spidey power, I'm still somewhat experienced. And I secretly learned how to create weapons from magic, thanks to all those books from the library. You see, Wong said we can use any weapons to spar, but he never forbade using magic. And, I got some nice new spells, I'm itching to use in a fight.
I walked up to my platform. My opponent is a freaking huge guy. His name is Jin. I don't know his last name. He's around what... Like 7'1"? Too tall, and he is using a long pole as his weapon. I know that this pole can stretch and even work like a freaking chain. Gotta be careful to not get caught up or he's gonna beat my ass. And with Wanda watching from the balcony, I can't lose to this giant human. Ahem! I'm definitely not trying to impress her or anything like that. Trust me.
"Where's your weapon, Peter?" Jin asked with a wicked grin on his face.
You see, this guy is like one of those overconfident and way too smart for his own good type of guy, you usually see in school.
"It's already here," I grinned, pointing my finger toward myself. "Don't look down on me just because of my size, okay?"
"Awe, a cocky one. Do go crapping your pants after I beat your ass," He taunted while spinning his pole around his neck like one of those guys from a martial art or kungfu movie.
Woohoo, how cliche, dude! But still... Very effective! I gotta stay focused.
"Begin!" Wong shouted loudly with his voice magically amplified, echoing in the area.
With just two leaps, that guy is on top of me with his pole held over his head as he slammed down like a freaking meteor.
I quickly jumped back and performed the hand signs then slammed my palm on the ground.
The impact was tremendous but fortunately, I used the rubber spell to make the ground a bit rubbery. It's a lowest-tier spell, but super effective and handy.
The way he slammed down on the rubbery ground and the way the ground returned his attack back at him, made him fall back with a loud thud.
I quickly kicked his pole away and saddled on his chest with a large grin, "Jin. Try not to crap your pants." I unleashed a flurry of punches on his face. A couple of them landed hard, but he raised his arms trying to protect his face. "All bark and no bite?"
"Enough, Parker," Wong pulled my back with magic threads, "He's already out."
Huh?! I looked at Jin. Fucker is unconscious. His nose is kinda pointing in a bad direction along with his jaws. Two front teeth are missing... Wait! Didn't he put a protection spell to avoid unnecessary injuries?
"Haaa... That annoying ability of yours..." Wong sighed, "You win. Go back, you are free to do whatever you want today. I'll allow you to go to the second section in the library."
