Chapter 60: The Race and the Witch

"Wow, that's cool!"

"It's Spider-Man! Awesome! ”

Looking at Peter, who was crouching upstairs, several mutant children who were watching next to him exclaimed in surprise. made the fire man next to him quite unhappy.

"What, I can do that too!"

He pulled out the lighter in his pocket and lit a flame with a click. The Burning Man summoned this flame into his own hands and injected his powers.

Disheveled!

The flame, which was originally only the size of a thumb, burned violently after being urged by John, setting off a wave of qi. With his palms down, he flew to the same height as Peter with the thrust of the flames, and raised an eyebrow at him defiantly.

This curled the corners of Peter's mouth.

"Let's play."

Leaning against the building in a levitating position, Peter said to John. John readily agreed.

"Good! How to compare? ”

Holding out a finger and circling around, Peter said, "Start here and go back and forth around this academy." The one who comes back first wins. ”

"Very well, I accept your challenge."

John nodded. Having been at Xavier's Youth Academy for so long, he was noticeably more familiar with the environment than Peter.

Seeing that John agreed, Peter took out the mask strap representing Spider-Man from his pocket and hid the slightly excited smile on his face.

"Then I'll start counting - three, two, one, start!"

No sooner had Peter finished his words than a large cloud of crimson flames slammed behind John. Accelerated by the flames, John burst out of a crimson line of fire behind him and rushed forward.

"Wow, this speed is really not slow, it looks like I'm going to have to work hard!"

Silently, Peter raised his right hand. A spider silk flew out in an instant, attaching itself to the branch of a large tree with extremely strong adhesion.

Releasing his left hand grip on the building's glass, Peter descended with gravity. With the force of his hands, he pulled himself up along the spider silk, accelerating forward with the help of gravity and centrifugal force.

In mid-air, Peter stretched out his left hand again, and another spider silk flew out of it and stuck to another tree.

With this kind of movement similar to Tarzan of the Apes, Peter's speed can even catch up with a car with average speed, and it is actually on a par with John the Burning Man.

After about two minutes, John, who found that he could not get rid of Peter, rolled his eyes, and a small ball of flame flew out of his hand, landing right on the spider silk that Peter had just shot out and connected him to a large tree.

"Ahh

When encountering the flames, the flammable material such as spider silk was burned out in an instant, and Peter, who had lost his focus, fell like a bird.

John looked back at the fallen Peter, smiled softly and continued on.

A strong wind blew in his face, blowing away the sound of Peter's own muttering.

"You started first, and then don't say I broke the rules."

He raised his right hand and glued a large tree with spider silk again, quickly halting his falling form. After several times of acceleration, Peter quickly caught up with John.

"Hey man, the spider silk takeout you ordered has arrived!"

With a bang, three tangled clumps of spider silk flew towards John as Peter spoke. Anticipating this, John escaped two of them, and the other was burned by the flames in his own hands.

"Gift exchanges, come and try my barbecue!"

Like some magicians who learned the art of fireballs on their own after the age of thirty, three balls of flame the size of a human head were manipulated by John to shoot at Peter. Severely restrained by the flames, Peter could only adjust his body and dodge them in mid-air with inhuman physical ability.

"It's not over yet!"

Since simple spider silk didn't work, Peter stuck his spider silk to several large rocks in succession, and threw them at John like large locust stones.

Sure enough, faced with a stone that couldn't burn, John had to stop his progress and sway from side to side to dodge.

In this way, the two of them advanced while interfering with each other, and it took more than ten minutes to walk around the academy.

When they returned to the same place almost without distinction, they found that Wang Dali and the others were long gone.

……

"I'm sorry, that's how John was born."

A few minutes earlier, Auroro had to apologize to Wang for his student's reckless behavior.

"It's okay, just let them play on their own, it's still early anyway."

Several people waited for a few more minutes and found that they had not returned. Wang Dali simply continued to visit the academy with Auroro, and let Peter come to them himself.

Mutants have a variety of abilities, or have similarities.

Some mutants are able to use telekinesis, some are able to use Cili, some mutants can regenerate at high speed, and some mutants can move at high speeds.

But there are also mutants who can become someone else's appearance.

Raven, one of Magneto's most powerful men, is also an old friend of Professor Charles. After the Sabertooth Tiger failed to capture the little mischievous, the Demonic Girl, who learned that she had been taken to Xavier's Youth Academy, took the form of someone else and infiltrated here.

Her metamorphosis is not just physical. Rather, it is a uniform transformation that includes the body and clothes. If she stands with the person she has become, she will not be able to tell who is real and who is fake from the outside.

At this time, she transformed into a girl in the academy, watching from afar as Auroro took Wang Dali and a few others to visit the academy, thinking about how to use their arrival to facilitate her own actions.

Although he noticed the other party's gaze, Wang Dali only thought that she was an ordinary girl in the academy, and was curious about their arrival and ignored it.

Even if it feels wrong, it may be caused by the mutant ability of the other party.

Most of the mutant children who live in the academy don't come here happily and voluntarily. Because of their mutant status or because they have been bullied by others, their parents look at them strangely; Or to the point of not being recognized by the family at all.

In this case, it is very impolite to ask the other party about their abilities, and there is even a suspicion of molesting the little girl.

After visiting the college, the sun was already setting. Wang Dali, Johnny, Thomas and Peter, who returned halfway through the team, followed Auroro into the cafeteria.

The mutant academy is not short of money, and the students are well fed. Since they have been hurt mentally, it is also a good idea to make amends materially.

At the very least, his pockets are often empty, and Peter, who has been struggling with his life above and below the level, is still very satisfied.

Soon, Jean-Grey appeared in the cafeteria pushing Professor Charles in a wheelchair. Behind the two of them was the atmosphere was very wrong, and Scott and Logan, who were obviously very close, but looked distinct.
