46 · Chapter 46
Messiah held his schoolbag and stared blankly at the blackboard at the front of the classroom.
In the classroom, a bunch of little kids about the same height as Messiah were chattering about something, and from time to time someone would glance at Messiah.
"He is Wayne's new adopted son?"
"Dad said he came from Crime Alley. How could someone from that place be worthy of being with us?"
"Eh~ lowly people."
These contemptuous and bad words surrounded the Messiah's ears. Even though the owners of these voices were still young, they expressed extremely obvious malice.
Messiah didn't react. He was used to the bad words from others, and compared to the voices he heard in Crime Alley and the previous world, the bad words from these elementary school students were even a little cute.
But Messiah had no intention of appreciating these cute things. He thought a little aggrievedly that Bruce was a big liar, Alfu was a liar, and Jason was also a big liar.
They clearly said that he would go to school with Jason, so he agreed to come to school. But after arriving at the school, they said that he was only 5 years old and not yet of school age, so he could only be in the first grade at most and not in the same grade as Jason.
The 16-year-old who thought he was the Messiah resisted in vain and was packed up with Bruce and Alfred and stuffed into the first grade.
Messiah hugged his schoolbag tightly, his breath becoming weaker and weaker. He couldn't help but open his ears to listen to Jason's voice, and his eyes turned in Jason's direction, taking in everything that happened around Jason.
Jason was stroking the brand new book excitedly, not realizing that all his actions were under the gaze of the Messiah.
Messiah didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, he just wanted to see and hear Jason.
Messiah was so focused on watching Jason that he didn't even notice someone sitting in the empty seat next to him.
Tim Drake's eyes were filled with suppressed excitement. He tried to keep his expression steady and greeted Messiah cautiously, "Hi."
Messiah reluctantly removed his gaze from Jason, but his hearing was still shrouded in Jason.
His eyes fell on Tim Drake's face and he pinched his chin thoughtfully. It looked so familiar. Where had he seen this person before...?
"I'm Timothy Drake, your future deskmate." Tim looked at Messiah with shining eyes and extended his right hand to Messiah. "Nice to meet you, Messiah."
Messiah didn't pay attention to Tim's strange attitude. He recalled Alfred's etiquette teachings, shook Tim's hand, and said politely, "Messiah Todd, nice to meet you, Timothy."
Tim clenched his fist and said yes in his heart.
Messiah suddenly stood up, with suppressed anger in his eyes.
Tim looked at Messiah in confusion. The new teacher who walked into the classroom also called Messiah's name, but Messiah didn't even look at them and rushed out of the classroom with an expressionless face.
"Get out of here, you bastards from Crime Alley!"
"Wayne's ○○."
Messiah heard Jason's rapid breathing, and all the malicious and contemptuous words were directed at Jason. When Jason went to the bathroom, two boys blocked Jason and insulted him unscrupulously.
He felt Jason's anger.
Messiah could accept being scolded, but he could not accept the malice being poured on Jason. His strong desire to protect Jason prompted Messiah to rush to the senior grade.
In front of the bathroom, Jason was suppressing his anger, not wanting to cause any trouble on his first day of school, but when the tall boy mentioned the Messiah, he could no longer suppress his anger.
"I heard you have a younger brother? He's quite good-looking, but who knew..."
Jason suddenly stood up, grabbed the taller boy by the collar, and punched him in the face: "Don't talk about my brother!"
"You dare to hit me?!"
The tall boy's face twisted for a moment, but a cold breath suddenly appeared behind him.
"You're bullying Jason."
The bathroom door was locked. The two boys had locked the door so they could block Jason in the bathroom, so Messiah had to find another way.
Messiah held the upper edge of the window with one hand, hanging outside the half-open window, staring at the two boys expressionlessly, with a strong sense of oppression in his expression.
Jason was surprised and asked, "Messiah, why are you here?"
Messiah used the strength of his grip to swing himself into the toilet, rolled in mid-air, stepped on the shorter boy with one foot, and kicked him down.
Jason saw traces of Dick in Messiah's movements. He didn't have time to think about when Messiah learned acrobatics from Dick. He rushed forward, grabbed Messiah's shoulders, and checked Messiah's body up and down worriedly.
"It's too dangerous. Don't try to climb windows with your bare hands anymore. What if you fall?"
Jason taught Messiah a lesson with a stern face. Even though Messiah had the ability to fly, Jason still couldn't control his worry about Messiah.
This is not doubt, but "love".
Just like "love" separated the Messiah from his divinity and stained him with the colors of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.
Messiah's murderous aura had mostly dissipated. He stood there obediently, allowing Jason to examine him, and whispered, "I'm fine."
"You, you two! I'm going to tell the teacher. Wayne will definitely kick you out if he finds out!"
The two boys looked at Messiah and Jason angrily, "Those bastards from Crime Alley don't deserve to be with us!"
Messiah's gentle gaze turned cold again. He looked at the two boys expressionlessly, a hint of murderous intent on his face: "You deserve to die."
Messiah's unformed values led him to sentence the two boys to death. Messiah didn't know what sentencing according to the crime meant. He only knew one thing - no one could hurt Jason and get away with it.
Jason immediately grabbed Messiah's hand and said hurriedly, "No!"
Messiah paused, thinking of his promise to Jason and Bruce, Messiah barely suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, but his gaze on the two boys was still terrifyingly cold.
I have to do something to punish them. Messiah had several thoughts of doing something to their brains, but then he remembered his promise to Bruce and gave up regretfully.
The Messiah did not realize that he now looked so much like the former Supreme Leader.
"From now on, you must do good." A golden light shone from the Messiah's fingertips, and he tapped the two boys' foreheads. "If you speak evil words or do evil deeds again, swords will surely fall upon you, and you will experience the pain of being cut into pieces."
The two boys looked at the Messiah in horror: "Monster!"
But the moment they shouted "monster", severe pain emerged from their bones. Even though they only cursed with one word and the pain lasted only a moment, the two spoiled boys rolled on the ground.
"Shut up." Messiah looked down at them, "If you don't want to feel any more pain."
Jason looked at Messiah in a trance, Messiah's cold face reflected in his eyes. He had never felt that Messiah was so strange.
It's like... a dictator.
Even when Messiah killed people in the past, he didn't feel this strange.
"Messiah……"
Jason subconsciously called out Messiah's name, and the coldness on Messiah's face disappeared. He showed Jason a well-behaved smile, which was completely different from the dictatorial tyrant he had just been.
"Jason." Messiah raised his head and shook the hand holding Jason's, saying happily, "They will never bully you again, nor will they bully others."
Jason, Jason couldn't rebuke Messiah, Messiah just wanted to protect him.
And the Messiah did not do anything serious to them, so as long as they continued to do good things in the future, they would not suffer.
Jason looked at Messiah's well-behaved appearance and subconsciously made excuses for him in his heart, but a vague feeling of unease still surrounded him.
He knew it was wrong, but he still wanted to cover up for the Messiah.
Jason quickly calmed down. "Will Bruce find out about this? What if they tell others?"
"They can't do it." Messiah said the most terrifying words with the most obedient expression, "I have put some restrictions on them. If they want to speak out, they will lose their voice and there will be a small punishment."
"It's a very small thing. It doesn't violate the promise I made to Dad."
Messiah left a tiny gap between his thumb and index finger: "Just a little bit."
Jason was silent for a moment, watching Messiah blinking his eyes and asking for praise, and reached out to rub Messiah's head: "Well done, Messiah."
"...Just, don't do this again."
Messiah was confused: "Why?"
Before Jason could say anything, there was a knock on the bathroom door.
“Hello, Messiah, are you in there?” Tim called out. “The teacher sent me to find you.”
In fact, it was Tim who volunteered to take on the task of finding the Messiah. He knew that Bruce Wayne and Richard Grayson were Batman and Robin, and that Messiah, as Wayne's newly adopted son, might also become a vigilante. He determined that something might have happened as a result of Messiah's sudden departure.
Tim took the initiative to take on the task of finding Messiah, vowing to cover up Messiah's identity, and then followed the traces left by Messiah and found the senior bathroom.
The bathroom door opened and Tim looked inside curiously, but Jason blocked his view.
"Hi, I'm Timothy Drake, Messiah's deskmate." Tim looked away regretfully. He had thought he might see Messiah and Jason's vigilante uniforms. "You must be Jason, right? Nice to meet you."
Jason nodded coldly without saying anything more to Tim.
Messiah walked out of the bathroom and closed the door behind him naturally: "Let's go back, Timothy."
Tim nodded, glanced at the aloof Jason reluctantly, and left with Messiah.
Jason, who seemed aloof but was actually nervous, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Skipping class on the first day of school!" the teacher angrily scolded Messiah, "Even Wayne himself has never done such a ridiculous thing!"
Messiah stood there with a blank look in his eyes, listening to the lecture.
"I'm going to call your parents over and let Wayne see what his adopted son has done."
The teacher looked at Messiah's stubborn look and remembered that when he was teaching Richard Grayson, Grayson also skipped class in the same way. He couldn't help but take out his cell phone in anger and call Bruce Wayne.
How does Bruce Wayne teach his children?
She once taught Bruce Wayne when he was a child, wondering how the well-behaved Wayne could become like this.
There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone and no one answered.
The teacher took a deep breath and called Wayne Mansion again, but still no one answered.
"...Forget it." The teacher thought of Bruce Wayne's ridiculous behavior and guessed that the playboy was still in some woman's bed. He waved weakly at Messiah and said, "You can go back first."
"Tell Wayne to come see me tomorrow at school. I want to discuss his education issues with him."
Messiah looked at the busy phone and couldn't help but frown. It was understandable that Bruce didn't answer the phone, but even Alfu didn't answer the phone...
As he walked out, he opened his ears and sight, searching all of Gotham for Bruce, Alfred, and Dick.
Soon, he found Alfred with worry written all over his face in the Batcave, found an anxious Dick somewhere in the Gotham sewers, and found an injured Bruce in an underground maze.
Injured Bruce...?!
Messiah ignored the teacher's angry shouts behind him and rushed out of the teaching building and into the school's grove.
Thanks to Bruce's teaching of confidentiality, Messiah knew to find a place where he could hide his figure and teleport.
The next second, Messiah disappeared from the spot and jumped through space to Bruce's side.
In the underground maze, Batman covered his chest which was injured by the claws and continued to move forward with tired steps to search for the exit of the maze.
After Dick's teeth fell out, Batman had been searching for the Court of Owls. He finally found the Court of Owls' base in Gotham by following a clue in the sewer. Then he was attacked by the claws of the Court of Owls and fell into the underground maze.
Batman gasped violently, the pain in his chest becoming even more intense, the attack from the claws making his already five broken ribs, which had not yet healed, even worse.
The pain helps him stay awake, Batman thought calmly.
Batman stumbled, and the next second, a figure suddenly appeared and supported him.
That familiar, small body supported Batman, who was in a trance due to excessive blood loss.
Messiah.
Batman's hazy consciousness suddenly cleared up. Looking at Messiah's face full of worry and anxiety, his brows frowned unconsciously: "You shouldn't have come."
His voice was horribly hoarse, unable to hide the weakness in his tone.
Messiah was not upset by Batman's resistance. He unconsciously pursed his lips and gently touched the wound on Batman's chest. He quickly identified that this was where he broke Batman's ribs.
"Dad..." Messiah looked at Batman as if he were looking at a fragile piece of porcelain, his face full of helplessness and sadness, "I hurt you."
Bruce had a chest injury because he had broken Bruce's ribs.
Batman's breathing stagnated. He wanted to say that now was not the time to talk about this, that it was very dangerous here and that we needed to leave immediately, but after seeing the painful expression on Messiah's face, he just sighed.
…The Messiah’s body may be indestructible, but his heart can be wounded by love.
Batman should have been happy, because he tamed the Messiah and made himself the Messiah's weakness. From then on, the Messiah had "kryptonite".
but……
"It's not your fault." Batman barely raised his arm, trying to avoid the bloody part of his hand, and rubbed Messiah's head. "The claws are very strong and have the ability to heal themselves. Even if they weren't injured, I would be injured."
Messiah shook his head and did not respond to Batman's words. He just conjured up a golden bed and forced Batman to lie on it with irresistible force.
Batman struggled and couldn't.
"I'll take you back first, Dad."
Messiah thought, if only he had the power to heal, then Bruce wouldn't be in pain anymore.
Just as Messiah was about to transfer the space between him and Batman, a cold blade suddenly slashed down from behind.
Batman's pupils shrank: "Watch out behind you!"
Messiah reached back expressionlessly, grabbed the sword that was heading towards his neck, and crushed it.
Metal fragments clattered to the ground.
Messiah slowly turned around and met the eyes of Talon, who was dressed as an owl.
"The Court of Owls...sentences you to death!"
Sharp Claw pulled out several throwing knives and rushed forward.
Messiah smelled Bruce's blood on the claws.
"You hurt Dad." Messiah looked at Claw with a cold gaze, as if he was looking at a dead person. "You deserve to die."
