MARVEL: GAME MAKER SYSTEM
Chapter 68: Attack

"How?" Kitty had a shocked expression as she looked at the target.

Not only was Kitty like this, but all the other kids were the same way!

To make things more fun, they determined that they would play the game in a championship format, where if a person was eliminated they would lose the chance to continue competing, and only the winners of the previous rounds would remain.

Matches were decided at random, so it was pretty fair.

Usually when young mutants played, they used their powers to help, which made it even more fun. But since Alex was among them today and the Professor warned that Alex didn't know they were mutants, they decided that this would be a game without powers, after all, theoretically it would be unfair to compete with Alex who was just an ordinary human while they used powers.

But they didn't imagine that Alex had [Deadshot Weapon Mastery], meaning as long as he was using something that could be used as a projectile and was within his force range, it would be virtually impossible for him to miss without outside interference.

While the youngsters were struggling to hit the bullseye, Alex was hitting at least 30% of the time, with the other 70% being when he hit the ring next to the bullseye.

Of course, this was deliberately done for Alex, as it would be unfair for him to hit the bullseye 100% of the time.

After winning two games, Alex found himself up against Bobby.

"Hey, Bobby is playing really well too. I don't think I've ever seen him hit so hard." A boy said in surprise.

"It doesn't surprise me that much since he has to practice marksmanship all the time." One girl commented, thinking of Bobby's power training. "But today his condition is really good."

Bobby heard the compliments and looked at Alex teasingly.

Did Alex really not understand why Bobby had to be such an asshole? It was simple for him to understand that Bobby's hostility was due to Anna, as he was looking at Anna's reaction the whole time, but did he really think that showing that attitude would make him look better to Anna?

Anna was looking at Alex worriedly, afraid that Bobby wanted to do something to Alex.

But Alex just shook his head and opened the System screen, which only he could see, and made a purchase without anyone noticing.

Alex felt his body changing, as something started to flow through his veins, before the feeling disappeared and he just felt that this was normal, and new knowledge came to his mind.

Fortunately, Occlumency was very helpful in this regard, as it made the process of separating that memory and organizing it much easier so that it didn't overwhelm his mind.

"Bobby, you go first." Kitty said as she looked at the result of the coin she flipped.

Bobby nodded proudly and flashed Kitty a smile.

If it was normal, Kitty would even feel happy with Bobby's smile, since she also thought he was cute, but she didn't like how Bobby was acting today, so she just ignored it.

Bobby took the javelin in his hand and threw it with confidence, hitting the bullseye for 50 points!

Confident, he looked at Alex who didn't show any reaction. And since Alex was wearing sunglasses because of the sun, Bobby didn't even know if Alex was looking at him, which made the temperature around him drop even more.

Snorting, Bobby ignored Alex and threw the next two darts, hitting Bullseye and the center ring, earning him 125 points.

"Damn, Bobby is playing great!" The boys commented excitedly.

"Go Alex, you can do it!" Anna couldn't stand it and said an encouraging phrase to Alex.

Hearing this, Alex looked at her and smiled.

Bobby was even more furious when he saw this, since although it felt good to be praised by others, the one he wanted to praise himself was Anna, making the temperature drop even lower.

Taking the three darts, Alex didn't think too much and threw it, hitting the inner red part of the 20-point zone, that is, the 20 points were tripled to 60 points!

"Woah!" Viewers were excited.

"Damn, how lucky! He managed to hit the spot worth the most points!" A girl said excitedly.

Kitty saw this and was surprised, as she realized that Alex had always targeted Bullseye. "Did he get mad at Bobby and lose control?" she wondered confused.

But to everyone's surprise, not only did Alex hit that spot once, but all three darts hit the same spot, making Alex hit 180 points!

"Damn it, how did he do it?" Evan commented shocked.

"Damn it, at first I thought it was luck, but hitting the same spot three times shows that he did it on purpose!" One girl was shocked.

As they were playing with the rules that whoever scores 301 points first would be the winner, Bobby was furious to learn that he would likely lose in the next round and would just play to act like a clown.

The temperature dropped once more, but this time Bobby glared at Alex so angrily that he ran towards Alex wanting to punch him.

Alex was surprised at Bobby losing his temper, but he thought fast and jumped back, dodging Bobby's punch.

Bobby saw that he missed the punch and gave up using his fists. With his hand pointed forward, a large amount of ice began to come out of his hand, heading towards Alex.

Seeing this, the mutants were shocked. Even the teachers were surprised to see what Bobby was doing. But they were so far away that there was nothing to be done.

"Alex!" Anna screamed in fright as she ran towards Bobby.

Her idea was to use her power to make Bobby pass out before Alex was hurt, but from the distance she was, she knew that Bobby's ice would reach Alex before her.

But out of all the people, only Professor Xavier and Logan were surprised to notice Alex's reaction.

Professor was paying close attention to Alex, wondering how he would react to this situation, while intending to use his power to knock Bobby out before Alex was injured, but when he saw that Alex was completely calm, he was surprised.

Already Logan, who had very refined instincts, could not feel any fear of Alex, as if he had even expected that, which made him just stay beside the barbecue taking care of the meat that Alex gave him, without much concern.

Seeing the ice getting so close, Alex who was already waiting for it opened a small smile and just like Bobby, he also stretched his hand forward.
