I Have a Girlfriend in Marvel

Green Goblin's desire for destructive was intense. Last night's attack on the board was a manifestation of that urge.

With the deaths of the board members and the sight of bystanders screaming and fleeing in panic, gave Green Goblin felt a deep sense of accomplishment.

All that talk about growing the company and becoming the military's top weapons supplier—those were Norman Osborn's dreams, not his. Green Goblin had no interest in them.

What he wanted was destruction, destruction, and more destruction.

He wanted to plunge the entire city into fear of the Green Goblin, to become everyone's nightmare, to rob them of their peaceful sleep.

To achieve this, the destabilizing factor that was Spider-Man had to be eliminated.

Killing him was an option, but it would be far better to invite him to join, dragging a hero down into corruption. Not only would no one interfere anymore, but the joy it would bring would also be doubled.

Perfect!

But how to find Spider-Man?

That guy only appeared at night, didn't act often, and seemed to focus on rescuing women.

"A friend of women, huh?"

An idea suddenly formed in Green Goblin's mind.

…..

Su Ye had no idea Green Goblin was scheming against him. That guy was a lunatic, making his thought process far from normal and making it hard to predict his actions.

Right now, he was more focused on figuring out how to "accidentally" bump into Mai Shiranui's... chest.

Ahem!

First, let's clarify—Su Ye wasn't a pervert. Even with Mai Shiranui swaying in front of him in her signature ninja outfit, he could stay composed.

Fighting Mai Shiranui in her ninja attire was undoubtedly a huge test and training for one's willpower.

Earlier, Hanzo Shiranui had explained the techniques and moves of Koppou to Su Ye.

Possibly due to the system, Su Ye's speed of comprehension and learning was astonishing. According to Hanzo Shiranui, he was the fastest learner he had ever seen, as if he was born to master Koppou.

Even so, Su Ye, this cheat-code martial artist born for Koppou, still needed time to learn. He had to familiarize himself with the techniques and apply them skillfully in combat.

For that, he had Mai Shiranui as his sparring partner.

"Attack Mai using your body. Hands, elbows, shoulders—whatever part you can. If you can touch her, you pass today's test."

Letting his student attack his granddaughter, who, let's just say, had a certain "reaction" to being touched, and even allowing any body part? Hanzo Shiranui was truly in line with those notorious elders from certain island nations.

But I like it! Su Ye chuckled inwardly.

"Mai, excuse me!" Su Ye put away his smile and bowed politely.

"Bring it on!" Mai Shiranui straightened up and gave a little shake.

"Hah!"

Su Ye charged forward.

Half an hour later, Su Ye lay on the dojo floor, gasping for air, utterly exhausted.

With his body enhanced by spider genes, for him to end up like a dead dog after just half an hour showed just how skilled Mai Shiranui was.

However, Mai Shiranui wasn't entirely unscathed either.

Although Su Ye hadn't managed to land a hit in those thirty minutes, Mai, as the defender, also had a close call several times, nearly getting caught.

On the side, Hanzo Shiranui watched Su Ye with a wide grin, stroking his beard.

Good, good. As expected of the successor I chose, his talent and potential were terrifying. On the first day of learning Koppou, he was already putting it into practice, pushing Mai to the brink of losing.

It was fortunate his judgment was sharp and decisive, securing such a talented successor even before the dojo officially opened.

And besides…

Watching Su Ye interact with Mai, Hanzo Shiranui's smile grew even wider.

Moreover, he was getting old. Finding a good match for Mai was the most important thing now.

In the evening, after agreeing to return after school tomorrow, Su Ye bid farewell and left the dojo.

"Make sure to come early tomorrow! I'll be waiting for you!"

Mai Shiranui stood at the door, smiling warmly as she saw him off, leaving Su Ye feeling a bit reluctant to go.

In just one afternoon, Mai Shiranui's favorability rating had climbed to 60 (Friendly). The speed of progress was heart-racing—maybe next time, he could even hold her hand?

Back home, Su Ye quickly freshened up, ate a small mountain of dinner, and went straight to bed.

The afternoon's training had drained a lot of his stamina and energy, leaving him with an increased appetite and need for rest.

As for going out at night to play the "women's friend"? He decided against it.

After all, it was a hobby, not a job. Without a paycheck, why keep such a high attendance rate?

Besides, everyone knew how bad the city's security was. If those women insisted on going out alone at night, looking for trouble, what could Su Ye do about it?

It wasn't just that night. For nearly a week, Spider-Man hadn't been seen, as if he had vanished into thin air.

This left Green Goblin, who went out every night hoping to find Spider-Man and recruit him to his cause, feeling quite dejected. The chaos he caused grew bigger, but it brought him no joy.

Gradually, Green Goblin began to lose himself.

Why was he doing this? Bullying a few women walking at night—was this really the happiness he sought?

The police were also growing increasingly frustrated. What was wrong with that lunatic Green Goblin? Instead of committing major crimes like murder or arson, why was he fixated on harassing women walking at night?

Could it be that he had been hurt by a woman before?

If the concept of being "cuckolded" was more prominent in America, this theory might have already been confirmed.

Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had finally called in reinforcements and started planning an ambush for Green Goblin.

At Midtown High, Friday afternoon, in the gymnasium, Su Ye and Gwen were sitting on the bleachers, chatting.

"What have you been busy with lately? You look so tired every day. Plus, my dad said Spider-Man hasn't shown up for days. You wouldn't happen to be…"

What could make a stay-at-home teenager look so drained during the day, pale, and excessively fatigued, almost as if he had… certain deficiencies?

Gwen secretly searched online, but the answers from netizens left her dissatisfied.

Playing games? Or… playing with himself?

Why would he get addicted to those things? Wasn't her charm as his girlfriend enough?

Su Ye looked up and offered an apologetic smile. "After my encounter with Green Goblin, I realized some of my weaknesses, so I've been learning new skills lately."

Hearing this, Gwen sighed in relief. That explanation was far more reassuring than what the netizens had suggested.

"You know, I've actually been pretty busy lately too."
