ultra -B EP 6

Alex and Michael were ecstatic, and even the robot shared in their joy. However, their happiness was short-lived as Alex sensed someone approaching their room. Quickly, he tapped the badge, reverting to his normal form, and alerted Michael to the incoming presence.Michael swiftly hid the tablet, then lay on the bed, pretending to be asleep. Confused, Alex and the robot wondered where to conceal themselves. Michael instructed Alex to turn off the robot, and once done, Alex placed it on his hand.As the door began to open, Alex leaped onto the bed, covering himself and Michael with a blanket, feigning sleep. Their mother entered, noticing the lights were still on. She inquired about the noise she heard, to which Alex responded that they were just sleeping.Noticing the lights, she questioned Alex, who admitted he forgot to switch them off. Turning to Michael, she asked why he was in Alex's room. After a moment of silence, Michael concocted a story, explaining that Alex wasn't feeling well, so he decided to sleep in his room that night.Alex's mom, concerned, asked if he was alright. Alex assured her that he was fine, urging her to go back to sleep and not worry. Relieved, his mom bid him goodnight and switched off the light.After some time, Michael returned to his room, whispering to Alex that they would discuss everything further the next day, but for now, they needed to get some sleep.Alex acknowledged Michael's departure and closed his eyes, contemplating his newfound powers as he drifted off to sleep. Unfortunately, he forgot to set his alarm, causing him to oversleep. Alex's mom knocked on the door, and he hastily got up to answer it. She was displeased to find him still in bed at this hour, especially with school starting in just an hour. Alex groaned, realizing that he also had a test today, which he had completely forgotten about. He asked his mom about Michael, and she informed him that Michael had already left for college.Alex's mom urged him to get ready for school quickly. Alex responded with a quick "Yes," acknowledging her request.Alex, feeling reluctant to go to school, suddenly remembered he had his robot. He realized that instead of him, the robot could attend school. He activated the robot, which quickly transformed into an exact replica of Alex and greeted him with a "Good morning." Alex instructed the robot that it had to go to school in his place. He asked if it could handle it, and the robot assured him that there would be no issues. Alex smiled and replied that he was just going to explore more about himself. Then, he instructed the robot to get ready quickly as they were already running late.Alex watched as his robot headed off to school, silently wishing it luck as it went on its way.Alex then began searching for a secluded and unfamiliar location on his computer. After some research, he found a remote spot in Russia. Fixing the image of the place in his mind, Alex donned his badge, activating his armor. With a tap, his body was enveloped in its protective layer. Focusing on the image of the Russian location, he teleported himself there.Alex, now in Russia, marveled at the vastly different scenery compared to his hometown. Eager to explore his newfound powers, he began testing them one by one. Soaring high into the sky, he enjoyed the clarity of vision provided by his armor. With ease, he lifted a large rock in one hand, feeling the strength coursing through him. Deciding to venture further, he descended to the ground and set out to explore the city.Alex, back in his normal form, walked along the street until he spotted a middle-aged man struggling to carry several wheat packets. Approaching him, Alex offered his assistance. The man, surprised by Alex's offer, initially declined, citing Alex's young age. However, Alex insisted, effortlessly lifting one of the packets with just two fingers to demonstrate his strength. Convinced, the man agreed to let Alex help and handed over the remaining packets.As they walked, Alex learned that the man's name was Henry Bugman, and he owned a bakery nearby. Curious about Alex's background, Henry asked where he was from. Alex responded, "I'm from Trinovia, but my family moved here due to my dad's job transfer." Henry raised an eyebrow, curious. "What does your dad do?" he inquired. Alex explained, "He's a businessman."Alex then asked Henry, " what about your family are you married?" Henry replied, "Yes, but my wife passed away about 10 years ago." Alex expressed his condolences, saying, "I'm sorry for your loss." Henry nodded and continued, "But I'm living a happy life. I have a daughter, she's around your age. Her name is Marine." Alex remarked, "That's a very beautiful name." Henry smiled sadly, "Yes, it's the name her mother gave her. After my wife passed away, my life has been all about my daughter. She's my everything."Henry continued, "She's very smart, good in her studies too. She helps me a lot with my work." Alex nodded, understanding the situation. Henry explained, "We live alone in our house; it's also our shop." Alex found it interesting and remarked, "That's cool." Henry shared that Marine was on her high school trip and would return after a month, so he had to manage everything alone. Alex sympathized, "You must miss her." Henry nodded, "Of course, I do." He then offered Alex to take some of the packets if he was having trouble holding them, but Alex declined, insisting that he was fine.As they walked and talked, they reached Henry's bakery. Alex thanked him and said, "Nice to meet you. I should go now." However, Henry insisted on giving him something, so he went inside and came back with a pineapple cake, offering it to Alex as a gesture of gratitude. Alex hesitated, saying he didn't have money, but Henry insisted that he didn't need to pay and urged him to accept it. Eventually, Alex thanked him and took the cake.Alex then went back from the bakery and flew to the place he had visited earlier. He ate the cake, enjoying its taste, and felt grateful for helping Henry. After finishing the cake, he looked up at the sky, feeling excited. He hesitated at first but then gathered confidence and flew high into space, marveling at the sights of the moon, sun, asteroids, and meteoroids. He saw Earth from a different perspective, feeling exhilarated. After enjoying his journey, he teleported back to the place he had seen in Russia. As he was about to teleport back home
