"Thank God, I'm free now! No more living in fear that those bastards who kidnapped me will suddenly barge in and shoot me dead!"
Tony Stark said fiercely, then took a big bite of his hamburger!
He ate while cursing incessantly:
"You have no idea, during the time I was kidnapped, I was fed pig swill! Those guys weren't feeding me any decent food at all!"
"Praise be to Aunt Mary, her burgers are still so delicious!"
Tony expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
Aunt Mary is the cafeteria lady; her cooking skills aren't top-notch, but they're above average.
The best thing about Aunt Mary's food is that the portions are generous!
The large hamburger in Tony's hand was enough to fill him up.
The security guards nearby strongly agreed:
"Aunt Mary's cooking is indeed excellent."
The security guard agreed as he handed over the bottled water.
Recently, news of Tony Stark's disappearance has spread far and wide.
But the gatekeeper wasn't interested in these gossips.
He didn't care why Tony had left the school.
His idea was simple: take good care of Tony Stark, this troublesome guy, and get rid of him when the Stark Industries people arrived!
Assistant Jean had personally told him that Tony Stark was not allowed to set foot in St. Kent Academy without her or the principal's permission!
That's what it means...
However, this time Tony Stark didn't enter the campus from the outside; he came out from inside the school...
This left the gatekeeper somewhat at a loss.
Fortunately, when the gatekeeper turned around, he saw a long convoy belonging to the Stark Group.
The security guard breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Tony with a smile:
Now that you've eaten and drunk your fill, get out of here! If you stay any longer, and Assistant Jean sees you, I'll be in big trouble!
...
...
"Tony! Thank goodness you're alright!"
As soon as the convoy stopped, the car door was flung open, and a blonde woman rushed over, her face a mixture of relief, joy, and tears.
Behind Little Chili, a fat man saw this scene from afar.
He thought for a moment and decided not to come over and disturb them, but instead opened the car door and waited quietly to the side.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, look at me, I'm perfectly alright, okay, all those things from before are in the past!"
Tony comforted Pepper for a while, then stuffed the last bite of his burger into his mouth.
After Little Chili calmed down, he asked:
"Is the press conference ready? I'm going to announce something big up there."
He plans to announce at a press conference that Stark Industries will change course and will no longer be an arms dealer!
Little Chili nodded, indicating that she was ready.
Tony was satisfied and was preparing to leave.
Just then, a voice came from inside the school, making Tony stop in his tracks.
"Tony, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Tony and the others turned around and saw Clark walking over in a black suit, looking like a successful man.
Behind him followed Jean Grey, whose face was cold and resolute.
The security guard awkwardly took a few steps back.
Tony also felt extremely uncomfortable in an instant!
...
...
"Commander Nick! I've found something else! I finally saw the headmaster of St. Kent Academy! His full name is Clark Kent, and he just turned eighteen this year..."
Agent Hill quickly picked up the communicator and began to report in a low voice.
Nick Fury asked:
"Use your intuition to observe, Agent Hill. What do you think of that headmaster?"
Agent Hill hesitated for a moment:
"I'm not so sure... He had a nonchalant smile on his face, as if he didn't care about anything. As for more... judging people isn't my forte; that's Coulson's forte!"
Nick Fury paused for a moment before speaking:
"Continue to observe! Get as close as possible to observe his personality, way of handling things, code of conduct, and a series of other factors."
"I see."
Agent Hill glanced at Jean following behind Clark out of the corner of her eye, realizing it was a difficult task, but she accepted it nonetheless.
Jean is not an easy girl to deal with, but Agent Hill believes he has a way to handle her.
Age is the biggest difference between the two.
Jean and Clark are the same age, and although they are of extraordinary status, they are still young people.
...
...
"What? You want me to go back to school and be a student again? Clark, are you kidding me?"
Tony had originally intended to ask Ethan about his current situation.
But after Clark spoke up and shared his thoughts, Tony froze in place.
Let him go back to school? What kind of operation is this?
He's been out of school for years, but he's still thinking about changing careers at Stark Industries.
As a result, Clark came up to him and thought that his abilities seemed insufficient, so he suggested that he take some further training... Is that really okay?
"No, no, no, Tony, you've misunderstood me."
"My decision is that after you finish what you're doing now, you can go back to the academy for a short course in a couple of days… I think you've already realized that there are some areas where you still lack knowledge."
Clark spoke with absolute certainty:
"If you want to continue exploring that world filled with all sorts of magical powers, then come back to school. You'll gain some insights from professionals."
Who are the professionals?
Antonio is a professional.
Upon hearing this, Tony fell into deep thought.
He remembered the Mark prototype, and he wanted to further improve that steel can based on the Mark prototype.
This would inevitably lead to contact with that world filled with mysterious power.
After a long silence, Tony agreed:
"Clark, I'll listen to you. But let me make it clear beforehand, I'm only taking some advanced courses... I don't have time to stay at school all day."
Clark smiled:
"certainly!"
System: [Congratulations, Master! The school has officially gained a hero student. Although this hero student is a bit old, has a lot of bad habits, is extremely narcissistic, and has the principal's permission to skip class anytime, he is indeed a hero student!]
System: [If this hero student graduates successfully without being expelled for skipping classes, you, Master, will receive a hero-exclusive gift pack!]
Clark remained calm, but his smile became even brighter.
Tony Stark has reached the level of a hero.
It's not that he became a hero simply by creating the Mark prototype, but rather that after this period of transformation, he has begun to evolve into one.
When the Mark armor is officially unveiled, he will be Iron Man!
...

PS: I've revised the settings for Tony's heart.
Based on current information, Tony's heart was damaged after the bombardment, and the remaining shrapnel is trying to kill him every moment.
The energy ring embedded in the heart not only replaces part of the heart's function, but also serves as the body's last line of defense.
