Hercules Walk

Chapter 60 The Race and Mystique
"Wow, so cool!"

"It's Spider-Man! Awesome!"

Looking at Peter squatting upstairs, several mutant children who were watching by the side exclaimed.It made the Pyro next to him quite upset.

"What, I can do this too!"

He took out the lighter in his pocket and ignited a flame with a snap.Pyro took the flame into his hands, imbuing it with his power.

Pong!
The flame, which was originally only the size of a thumb, burned blazingly after being activated by John, causing a wave of air.With his palms down, he flew to the same height as Peter with the thrust of the flames, and raised his eyebrows at him provocatively.

This made the corners of Peter's mouth curl up a bit.

"Let's play."

Leaning against the building in a suspended position, Peter said to John.For his proposal, John readily agreed.

"Okay! How do you compare?"

Stretching out a finger to circle around, Peter said: "Start from here, go around this academy and go back and forth. The one who comes back first wins."

"Very well, I accept your challenge."

John nodded.He has been in Xavier Youth Academy for so long, and he is obviously more familiar with the environment here than Peter.

Seeing that John agreed, Peter took out the mask that represented Spider-Man from his pocket and put it on, covering the slightly excited smile on his face.

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

As soon as Peter finished speaking, John suddenly touched a large group of crimson flames behind him.Under the acceleration of the flames, John pulled out a red line of fire behind him, and rushed forward quickly.

"Wow, this speed is really not slow, it seems that I have to work harder!"

Silently, Peter raised his right hand.A strand of spider silk flew out instantly, and attached to a branch of a big tree with strong adhesiveness.

Letting go of his left hand that was gripping the glass of the building, Peter fell rapidly along with gravity.With force in his hands, he pulled himself up along the spider's thread, and accelerated 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 from it, and stuck to another big tree.

With this kind of movement similar to Tarzan, Peter's speed can even catch up with the speed of ordinary cars, and he is actually on par with Burning John.

About 2 minutes later, John, who found that he couldn't get rid of Peter, turned his eyes, and a small ball of flame flew out of his hand, just landing on the spider thread that Peter had just shot, connecting himself with a big tree.

"Ah oh."

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

John looked back at the fallen Peter, smiled slightly and moved on.

The strong wind blows towards the face, blowing away the voice of Peter talking to himself.

"You started it first, don't say I broke the rules afterwards."

He raised his right hand, glued another big tree with spider silk, and quickly stopped his falling figure.After a few times of acceleration, Peter quickly caught up with John.

"Hey buddy, your spider silk order has arrived!"

Swoosh, three groups of tangled spider silks flew towards John following Peter's voice.John, anticipating this, dodged two of them, and the other was burned with the flame in his hand.

"Reciprocity, come and taste my barbecue!"

Just like some magicians who comprehend the fireball technique by themselves after the age of 30, three groups of head-sized flames were controlled by John and shot at Peter.Peter, who was severely restrained by the flames, could only adjust his body shape, dodging them in mid-air with his inhuman physical ability.

"It's not over yet!"

Since the simple spider silk didn't work, Peter used his own spider silk to stick to several big rocks, and threw them towards John like a large locust rock.

Sure enough, facing the incombustible stone, John had to stop his progress and swayed from side to side to avoid it.

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

When they returned to the original place almost indiscriminately, they found that Wang Dali and the others had long since disappeared.

……

"Sorry, that's just the way John is."

A few minutes ahead of time, Ororo had to apologize to Wang Dali because of his student's reckless behavior.

"It's okay, let them play by themselves, it's still early anyway."

Several people waited for a few more minutes, only to find that they hadn't returned yet.Wang Dali simply continued to visit the academy with Ororo, and asked Peter to find them by himself.

The abilities of mutants are all kinds of strange, or similar.

Some mutants can use mind power, some mutants can use Ci Li, some mutants can regenerate at super speed, and some mutants can move at high speed.

But there are also mutants who can take on the appearance of others.

Mystique Raven, one of Magneto's most powerful men, is also an old friend of Professor Charles.After Saber-toothed Tiger failed to capture Rascal, Mystique, who learned that she was being taken to the Xavier Youth Academy, infiltrated the place in the guise of someone else.

Her transformation is not just a physical one.It is a unified transformation including the body and clothes.If she stands with the person she has become, it will be completely impossible to tell who is real and who is fake from the outside.

At this time, she transformed into a girl in the academy, watched Ororo and Wang Dali and others visiting the academy from a distance, and thought about how to use their presence to facilitate her actions.

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

Even if it feels a little wrong, it may be caused by the other party's mutant ability.

Most of the mutant children living in the academy didn't come happily and voluntarily.Because of their status as mutants, they either suffered bullying from others, strange looks from their parents, or they were not recognized by their families at all.

In this case, it is very impolite to rashly ask about the ability of the other party, and it is even suspected of molesting a little girl.

After visiting the college, the sun has set.Wang Dali, Johnny, Thomas and Peter, who had returned to the team, followed Ororo into the cafeteria.

The Mutant Academy is not short of money, and the meals for the students are plentiful.Now that they have been hurt mentally, it is also a way to make up for it materially.

At the very least, Peter, whose pockets are often empty and whose life has been struggling up and down the level, is still very satisfied.

Soon, Jean Gray appeared in the cafeteria pushing Professor Charles in a wheelchair.Behind the two were Scott and Logan, who had a very strange atmosphere. Although they were walking very close, they seemed to be very different from each other.
