Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 16:



While watching, they were amazed.

"So many abilities this person has!"

"Teleportation combined with that black energy attack, and the police couldn't handle him?"

"He does seem quite capable..."

As mutants around the world watched the video in astonishment, inside the Xavier Institute, Scott walked into the room where Professor X was staying and showed him the video.

Watching the young mutant's abilities on the screen, Professor X complimented, "This child's abilities have great potential."

Cyclops Scott nodded in agreement beside him.

Although the young man's abilities did not seem particularly outrageous, they included both support and attack, and with some training, he could potentially become much stronger, indeed showing potential.

And in some special places, he could rely on his teleportation. If the accuracy of the black energy was better, its offensive capabilities could take down some enemies they couldn't handle.

In his mind, he already began to imagine the boy joining the academy and assisting them in battle.

Professor X, sharing his thoughts, said, "Scott, we could try to contact this child, see if we can recruit him into the school..."

Scott nodded, then he brought up another matter.

"Professor, I still haven't found the person with the suspected Omega-level mutant abilities you asked me to locate."

Professor X frowned upon hearing this, sighing, "Find him as soon as possible. Eric has been making some moves lately, and I suspect he's received some information. We must find that child before he does."

Cyclops furrowed his brows at this, immediately suspecting Mystique.

He suspected that Mystique had transformed into someone else and infiltrated the Xavier Institute, which is how the information could have leaked.

They had no choice but to try to find him before Magneto's people did.

He dared not think about the damage it would cause if a real Omega-level mutant joined the Brotherhood of Mutants.

While he was preparing to act, someone in the Brotherhood of Mutants also noticed the video and showed it to Magneto.

Watching the battle scenes in the video, Magneto became interested in the young man.

Like Professor X, he too found the young man worth recruiting into the Brotherhood of Mutants.

"Raven..."

He turned to look at Raven, preparing to send her to find this young man and also try to locate the Omega-level mutant Professor X mentioned.

Thinking of the Omega-level mutant Charles had mentioned, even Magneto couldn't help showing surprise and interest.

He wondered, what kind of Omega-level mutant was Charles talking about?

Even he and Charles were at most considered Level 4 mutants.

A Level 5 mutant, especially an Omega-level mutant, intrigued him even more.

His interest intensified.

While both mutant factions were preparing to find people, Syd was frowning at a room.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After leaving that dark alley, he had shifted locations, looking for a place to stay, which was where he was now.

But the room looked dirtier and more disorderly than Chris's place, and there was a musty smell in the room.

"Hey, man, this room is already pretty good. You can look elsewhere, but if you can find better than this..."

The white man next to him noticed his expression and hurriedly explained.

Before he could finish, Syd nodded, agreeing to stay.

Although he didn't want to live in such a rundown place, being wanted, he had to settle for these illegal accommodations.

After confirming the price, Syd took out all the U.S. dollars he had, asking the man to help buy some self-heating food and clothing. The man was initially reluctant, but hearing about the thirty dollars in tips, he quickly smiled and agreed.

After the man left, Syd sat on the hard bed, feeling his extremely tired body, and sighed.

"Panel."

He opened the panel to look, focusing on the lifespan column.

It starkly stated he had only twenty-nine days left!

"My estimated lifespan has indeed increased!"

Syd's spirit lifted.

Previously, when he gained an ability, his lifespan increased by a day, and now with two abilities upgraded to level two, his lifespan had indeed increased again!

Or perhaps, it was because the photonic energy in his body had changed, suppressing some of the diseases, which increased his lifespan.

Even so, it meant that as long as he continued to improve, he might be able to live much

longer!

While Syd harbored hope in his heart, he also felt a bit greedy.

"If only I had self-healing abilities, then even if there were cancer cells, the healing factor

could suppress them."

Syd thought of Deadpool, who had originally been diagnosed with cancer but survived unscathed because of his healing factor.

Of course, his cancer cells were not cured, and if the abilities were lost, his body would revert and continue to suffer from the disease.

It could be said that Deadpool wasn't the original owner of that ability; if he had possessed it from the beginning, perhaps he wouldn't have developed cancer at all.

Syd thought of Wolverine, who had lived for nearly two hundred years, a true survivor.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about the healing abilities and focused on the

unlocking progress.

"Tomorrow, I should gain a new ability." Syd looked forward to the dawn.

Some time later, the landlord Gary returned.

After handing him the thirty-dollar tip, Syd began unpacking the self-heating food.

After eating, he carefully locked the doors and windows, making sure no one could open them

without making noise, and then settled down to sleep.

Time passed...

The moon set, and the sun rose.

The blinding sunlight shone through the window, awakening the sleeping Syd.

Feeling the energy refilling his body, Syd's sense of security greatly increased.

Unfortunately, he couldn't indulge in the feeling for long; he had to get up and leave quickly.

He wasn't sure if the authorities could have located him overnight. Only by continuously changing locations could he avoid detection.

After quickly eating, he didn't greet the landlord; instead, he silently left the place.

Syd, wearing a new set of clothes, a black hat, and a white mask, quickly navigated through

the secluded streets.

Along the way, he chose paths where the sunlight could reach him.

[Photon Energy +1][Photon Energy +1]...

After walking for nearly an hour, he finally slowed down.
