Peter explained his "coma" as a struggle within his soul against the Second-Gen Venom.
Furthermore, he displayed his "trophy" – the Second-Gen Venom Suit.
Mainly because he would inevitably wear this suit to fight at some point.
So, he wanted to give Stark a heads-up beforehand, lest he be mistaken for an enemy.
"Are you sure you won't be controlled by this Symbiote Suit?" Stark gazed intently at Peter.
Peter shook his head, affirming, "I'm sure. It's a part of me now, completely under my control."
With that, Peter extended his hand, and a small mass of Second-Gen Venom symbiote material emerged in his palm.
This jet-black symbiote material indeed seemed like an extension of Peter's own body, at his complete disposal.
Stark watched from a distance at first, but after seeing Peter's actions, he moved closer, his eyes scanning the Second-Gen Venom Symbiote.
The scan results were actually not much different from the previous Venom Symbiote.
Both were the same "biologically active substance."
But after Stark took a look for himself, he found a sensory difference between the two.
Just seeing the Venom Symbiote made one feel its chaotic evil.
The Second-Gen Venom Symbiote, however, was born from Peter's soul and was directly influenced by Peter.
You could say it was Peter's child, or a kind of clone.
It directly inherited Peter's personality.
Peter's original personality was purely kind.
This also gave the Second-Gen Venom Symbiote this innate characteristic.
Of course, as a third party, and an ordinary person, Stark couldn't feel this internal change.
But he could see it with his eyes and feel it with his heart.
The Second-Gen Venom Symbiote really wasn't the same as the first generation!
"I'll find a way to help you get in touch with some reliable biologists, so they can study it carefully," Stark said after thinking for a moment.
Peter nodded, then said excitedly, "Are you talking about Doctor Banner?"
"Bruce?" Stark tilted his head slightly, "Why did you think of him all of a sudden?"
Peter stated the obvious, "Because Dr. Bruce Banner is a genius who holds doctorates in seven fields: robotics, nuclear physics, radiophysics, biochemistry, mechanical engineering, computer science, and mathematics! And the most crucial thing is, he's also the Hulk!"
Peter only knew this after reading the Avengers' internal files, that the famous Hulk was actually the brilliant scientist, Dr. Bruce Banner!
He wasn't the only one.
Before this, the world believed Bruce Banner had died in a lab accident over a decade ago! Even above the blackboard in Peter's classroom hung a black and white photo of Dr. Banner! (PS①, see the author's note) Thinking back, someone must have deliberately concealed Dr. Banner's information.
It makes sense. If ordinary people knew that Bruce Banner and the Hulk were the same person, it wouldn't be a good thing.
Neither for Dr. Banner himself, nor for the people above him.
So, naturally, Bruce Banner was "declared dead."
Come to think of it, after the Sokovia incident, they hadn't seen the Hulk. Could it be that he was locked up for causing destruction in the streets?
Stark looked at Peter, displeased by the admiration he saw in his eyes for Bruce Banner: "Don't count on Bruce. He disappeared after Sokovia, along with a Quinjet. According to the speculation, he's probably wandering in space right now, or maybe..."
Stark fell silent.
He and Dr. Banner actually had quite a bit in common. Pubfuture Ads
Dr. Banner was a true polymath.
He had designed the Hulkbuster Armor with him, and they had created Ultron together. Among the many superheroes, he actually admired Dr. Banner the most.
Thinking that he might have died in the vast universe, Stark couldn't help but feel sad.
Peter opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Could it be that the black and white photo in the classroom was about to become real? "By the way, Mr. Stark, I have a small request," Peter said, scratching his head a little awkwardly, using the respectful form of address he hadn't used in a while.
Stark glanced at him: "Spill it."
Peter said, "I want to advance in my studies."
"Advance?" Stark repeated.
"Yeah," Peter nodded, "I've already mastered the high school curriculum, so I want to start university early."
"You want more free time, don't you?" Stark ruthlessly exposed Peter's facade.
Peter gave a somewhat embarrassed chuckle.
Stark was right.
Mastering the high school curriculum was only one aspect.
The key reason was that he now felt that going to school at a set time every day took up too much of his time.
And that time was being wasted pointlessly.
Because he had already mastered everything taught in class.
Even if there were some things he hadn't known before, he had mastered them perfectly during his several trips through time and space.
To put it bluntly, his knowledge in certain fields was now almost at the doctoral level!
Moreover, both high schools and universities in the US used a credit system.
In four years of high school, students needed to complete 24 credits (16 required, 8 elective) to graduate.
And for Peter now, those credits were a piece of cake; he could get them anytime he wanted.
He hadn't considered this before because he felt he was still young and didn't need to rush into university.
But in the information provided by the future Professor X he met on Earth-120703, he learned that Professor X had also graduated high school at the age of 16 and entered Oxford University.
Thinking about it carefully, this was actually a good option.
After entering university, he could have more free time.
This way, he could have plenty of time to do research, be a superhero, and go to other worlds to help Spider-Man and others.
The only price to pay was: he would no longer enjoy the fun of learning and growing up with his peers.
But to be honest, Peter didn't have much in common with many of his classmates anyway.
So this "price" was reduced to infinitely small.
Now, the only problem was: this wasn't the time of year for university admissions.
Even if he graduated now, he might not be able to contact them.
That's why he asked.
