Starting as a Class Five Mutant-Chapter 499 -

Of course, the notion that he hadn't noticed them was nothing more than their own delusion.

Syd had been aware of them from the beginning—he simply didn't care.

Why bother with insignificant beings, when he could instead enjoy the scenery?

However, now that these people had finally lost patience and called out to him, he begrudgingly shifted his gaze toward them.

His expression remained utterly calm as his eyes swept over the encircling officers, taking note of the snipers hidden in the distance.

...

Far away.

The police officers watched the floating figure—unmoved, uninterested, simply observing them with serene indifference.

That calm, superior gaze filled them with anger.

"What the hell is that look?!"

"Does he have a death wish?!"

The way he silently observed them—as if watching clowns perform—was infuriating.

The lead officer, Antar, scowled and shouted again.

"You have ten seconds to comply, or we will open fire!"

Yet, the White-Clad Mutant remained unchanged, showing no intention of surrendering.

Furious, Antar gestured with his hand.

The officers raised their weapons, aiming at him.

At the news station.

Hannah, the female anchor, beamed with excitement as she spoke into the camera.

"Everyone, take a look! The officers are now using specialized tranquilizer rounds—these have been specially designed to neutralize mutants."

"These rounds are so powerful that even a tiger would collapse after one shot!"

"So, there's no need to worry—the officers won't kill this mutant. He still has research value."

Hannah thought to herself, He needs to be captured alive.

She wasn't the only one with this sentiment—Dr. Rice shared the same view.

Back on the streets, the ten-second countdown ended.

Antar's eyes narrowed coldly.

"This fool really wants to die."

Without hesitation, he signaled the attack.

In an instant, the officers pulled their triggers—

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Multiple tranquilizer rounds rushed toward the floating mutant.

Seeing this, the watching crowd lit up with anticipation.

The mutant was about to be captured!

Dr. Rice watched with amusement, already considering his next experiment.

Professor X and Logan, on the other hand, tensed up.

And then—

They all froze.

The moment the tranquilizer rounds got close—

Syd merely lifted his right hand.

A crimson glow flickered.

The bullets halted mid-air.

Suspended. Motionless.

Before anyone could process what had happened, Syd casually waved his hand.

Whoosh!

The tranquilizer rounds reversed direction—

Shooting straight back toward the officers who fired them!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The officers grunted as the darts struck their bodies.

"God...!"

A chorus of agonized screams erupted.

The policemen clutched their wounds, eyes wide in disbelief.

"This mutant... he...!"

"Telekinesis?! He has another ability?!"

But before they could finish their thoughts, the tranquilizers took effect.

One by one, the officers collapsed, slipping into unconsciousness.

The remaining officers, reporters, and onlookers—as well as the millions watching from their screens—all stared in shock.

"How...?"

"He's supposed to have spatial abilities—where did this come from?!"

Even Hannah was left speechless.

...

Inside the laboratory.

Dr. Rice's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"This one... is getting more interesting."

He must be captured.

Rice made his decision: This mutant would become his next experiment.

...

At Logan's hideout.

Professor X watched in awe, murmuring,

"He has telekinetic abilities too?"

"This child's potential is truly remarkable!"

"If only we could train him properly..."

Even Logan and Caliban—who were usually skeptical—had to acknowledge the truth.

The kid was powerful.

But—

Watching the mutant now surrounded by officers with live weapons, Logan muttered,

"But no matter how strong he is, he can't win against sheer numbers."

Eventually, he will be captured—or worse.

Logan sighed.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a mutant this promising..."

"But he won't escape."

The audience, both in the city and watching from home, shared the same sentiment.

He's done for.

However.

Syd was starting to lose patience.

At first, he had let them be.

But now—

Bang!

A policeman named Pablo suddenly drew his firearm and fired a live round at him.

Syd casually flicked his hand.

The bullet reversed direction.

Splat!

The same bullet that had been fired pierced Pablo's forehead.

Blood splattered as his body collapsed, twitching on the ground.

A horrified silence fell over the street.

Before anyone could react, Syd moved again.

Crimson energy rippled outward.

Guns, sniper rifles, grenades, and every weapon on-site—

Ripped free from their owners.

Suspended in midair.

But it wasn't just weapons—

The officers and special agents themselves were suddenly lifted into the air, as though an invisible hand had seized them.

Syd hovered above, gazing down upon them.

His calm voice carried through the silent streets.

"Weak little ants..."

"What gave you the courage to challenge me?"

A deathly silence followed.

The officers—suspended helplessly in the air—wore expressions of sheer terror.

Even Antar, still floating midair, could do nothing but stare in disbelief.
