Kapitel 16: Chapter 16

I would also need to learn everything could, mechanics, chemistry and physics would be my core subject to focus on. Maybe...maybe I should also focus on other things as well, like languages?

With mind made up I began feel sleepy. With a smile I went to bed, strangely enough that night I had a dream of bats and spiders, needless to say I woke up screaming for my mommy.

The next day at school I tackled classes a bit differently. I had gone to the library before class and took out a guide to learning french. While the teacher taught us history, I snuck in bits of french.

It was difficult at first, but after I began to actually think upon what I learnt...well, things got a lot easier. Thank you God for giving me the mind of a genius.

With Peter's advanced neural network I was able to learn a few phrases in french in a day. I won't be impressing any french super model passing by, but it was a start.

I also began to pay more attention in class, I even bombarded the teachers with questions asking detailed questions. They smiled in appreciation at first, but I think they came to loath me by the end of the class.

I ended up filling up several pages with notes, good, no reason to remember all this in my head now and waste storage space.

I didn't go home with MJ on the bus instead I took the train to Manhattan to visit that dojo I found last night. I told Aunt May and Uncle Ben what I was going to go before I left for school that day. Needless to say they were surprised.

"Peter, why do you want to take such classes?" May asked worried.

"I want to be able to protect myself Aunt May," I replied, "if I get into a tough situation I want to able to handle it."

"But Peter-"

"-May let the boy do what wants," Ben spoke out with a reassuring smile, "he wants to protect himself, and that's fine. Besides, it's a good thing that he's finally got himself a hobby."

'Not really a hobby, more like an agenda,' I told myself but nodded externally, "yeah. Besides, life's getting kind of dull, I need something interesting to do."

"Surely you and MJ can figure out something," May suggested.

"No, MJ's...she's busy with other stuff," I shrugged, "no biggie. But I do want to do this Aunt May, please."

The woman meet my gaze for the longest time before sighed relented. She warned me not push myself, I kind of lied and told her I wouldn't. I also told her classes were from 5 to 9, and it consisted of only one class not three separate one. No need to worry hen more.

I arrived at the dojo in Chinatown, people were already going in, I saw so many kids being dropped off by parents, it was honestly worrisome. Would this place even teach me anything? Or was this just a giant dump for money?

I sighed, I was about leave in frustration when I noticed a sign down the road hidden behind a neon sign for a chinese restaurant. I paused blinking at it, it sounded so familiar.

'Chikara Dojo'

And I realised why. Colleen Wing, she owned that dojo. She was Iron Fist love interest and she...she was currently a member of the Hand that brainwashed kids into becoming killing machines.

And like that I was at an impasse. One, I could try my luck in another dojo and pray it wasn't a money dump as well. Or two, go to the Chikara dojo, learn what I could from Colleen, and make sure the Hand doesn't become aware of me mooching off their techniques.

It was a dangerous gamble for sure, the Hand were a league of assassin in this universe, ninjas that had no equal. It was crazy to think I could learn from them, but at the same time...Bruce Wayne in one universe learnt from Ra's-al Ghul himself.

Fuck it, I want to be a ninja. But if they even think I'm joining their little clan then they have another thing coming.

I walked into the building and found a staircase leading to the first floor with a sign for the dojo. The place looked exactly like it did in the Netflix series, yellow hallways and all. I found the dojo easily and stopped, peeping in to see students already in a uniform standing before Colleen, who I have to admit, looks so fucking amazing!

She looked up and noticed me, nodding to enter and with a gulp I did. I took off my shoes and walked into the dojo.

The students turned to look at me, I meet their gaze, I turned to Colleen, "I wish to learn. Please."

The female ninja smiled, "you came to the right place. Though ah, you don't really have to sound like you're in a kung-fu movie you know."

I chuckled rubbing my hair, "sorry, nervous."

"It's fine, my name is Colleen Wing, and you are?"

"Peter, Peter Parker," I put down my bag and took off my shirt revealing the exercise clothes I had on underneath, "can I start now?"

Colleen looked impressed, "no, not today. For today I want you to stand to the side and watch. Think you can do that Peter?"

I nodded, "sure," I sat down to the side, watched them closely.

"Right, now then let's begin," Colleen turned to her students. They went into basic movements of the blade, it seems she taught them kendo for now.

Maybe more advanced classes learnt ninjutsus and stuff liek that? Maybe only the really advanced recruits were even considered for such a training? I needed to learn that as well, I need them to want me, and maybe I can leave them blinking how it all went so wrong.

But for now I sat down and watched. I used Peter's amazing mind to break down the swings and the foot positions, understanding how it moves and why. I learnt the various strikes by watching them move, and I even noticed their mistakes.
