"Ok."

Lorna shrugged: "I thought you and him were a couple."

She sensed that there was something off about the conversation between Clarice and David.

but……

Lorna had initially thought it was just a love story between a top student and a mediocre student, without considering the possibility of mutants.

"Me, David, in a relationship?"

"Ah."

Clarice couldn't help but laugh when she heard Lorna's words: "How could that be? Who would want him?"

Lorna shrugged and sincerely apologized for her wild guess.

Clarice waved her hand, her smile fading, and looked at Lorna seriously: "You're right not to want others to know you're a mutant. It's best not to let David know."

Upon hearing this, Lorna looked at Clarice with curiosity.

When Clarice mentioned last Friday that there were other mutants at school, she was indeed quite enthusiastic about Clarice's offer to introduce her to other mutant high school students that week.

But after listening to Luke's words and thinking about it for two days over the weekend, Lorna seriously considered that avoiding contact with other mutants was the best way to protect herself.

Because Lu Ke once said something.

Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

Now that Clarice has said that?

Could this David Jones be the "pig-like teammate" that Luke mentioned?

Lorna thought to herself.

Just as she was about to cautiously ask Clarice what she meant by those words, she caught a glimpse of David walking towards them from not far away, and she swallowed the words she was about to say.

Clarice also noticed David approaching.

“David.”

Clarice.

David, who had walked up to Clarice, looked rather grim. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed Lorna standing nearby and said to Clarice, "Can we talk alone?"

He knew Lorna, the new transfer student who arrived last Friday, and didn't suspect that Lorna was also a mutant just because she was close to Clarice.

Since Clarice was a student assistant and Lorna was a new transfer student, it was normal for Clarice to show Lorna around the campus at first.

Clarice listened to David's request, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then led David to a secluded corner.

Lorna sat there, looking at Clarice, who stood not far away with her arms crossed and a calm expression, and David, who stood opposite her with an expression that seemed to be a mix of fear, nervousness, and excitement that she couldn't quite describe. She blinked at herself.

What happened?

As Lorna watched Clarice gradually lower her arm as David spoke, her expression shifting to one of astonishment and surprise, her curiosity pounding in her chest.

after awhile.

Lorna watched as Clarice seemed to say something to David and then turned to walk towards her, and promptly looked away.

Clarice walked up to Lorna and said apologetically, "Lorna, I'm sorry, I may have to leave now."

Lorna got up from the lawn, looked at Clarice's expression, and asked with concern.

"What happened?"

"Ah."

"what happened?"

"complex."

Clarice didn't say much, but simply said this to Lorna, waved to her, and then walked towards the rest corridor.

Lorna turned to look at Clarice walking towards the rest corridor, then at David who was already walking towards the school gate not far away, and frowned.

Although Clarice didn't say anything, for some reason, Lorna vaguely sensed that something big was going to happen.

And this is troublesome...

It's still the mutants' problem.

"hiss!"

"Could it be that David really is that incompetent teammate who exposed us?"

Lorna gasped.

ten minutes later.

Located on the shores of Lake Xavier, in the luxurious penthouse duplex of the Xavier apartment building, renowned throughout San Lodo for its upscale amenities and five-star service.

Bang!

In the luxurious living room, the space seemed to fold up in an instant, and after a flash of light, David Jones appeared out of thin air.

next second.

A singularity bloomed in a corner of the living room at the winding metal staircase leading to the private area on the second floor, and then rapidly expanded into a portal large enough for one person to pass through.

Clarice stepped out of the portal, looked at David, and frowned.

"Where's the stuff?"

"Hold on."

David said something, and then with a whoosh, he disappeared from the spot.

Clarice was puzzled by what she saw.

If God gave her another chance, Clarice said she would absolutely choose to never have met David.

the reason is simple.

Knowing David would bring them danger.

This idea became even stronger when Clarice learned why David, despite being an orphan, could afford such a luxurious apartment and seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of money.

but……

There's no going back in life.

David's variant ability is teleportation.

However, unlike Clarice's teleportation ability, David's mutant ability can only teleport him to places he remembers, and currently it can only be used by one person.

Clarice's portal can accommodate many people, and there is no distance limit.

She felt that if she wanted to, she could open a portal from the little broken planet to the moon.

Of course.

Clarice only thought about it, but never actually did it.

Because whenever she thinks about this, her heart races, as if telling her that if she actually does it, she will die from excessive energy depletion.

But these are not the main points.

The key point is that after Clarice learned that she was a mutant, even though her ability could have more unusual uses, such as making a fortune, she never thought of using it in that way.

Because she knew that once she was targeted by the Sentinels of the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau, her fate would be dire.

In the Union, being a mutant is a crime.

But David, whose abilities are similar to hers in some ways, seems to have no idea what it means to hide.

Especially over the weekend, when Clarice learned that David had gone to Atlanta to pull off another heist, she was furious and wanted David to leave their school as soon as possible, lest the Sentinel Secret Service come knocking on their door and implicate them.

at this time.

David, who had just disappeared, reappeared.

Unlike before he disappeared empty-handed, this time David returned with a file folder marked with three capital S's.

SSS.

Sentinel Secret Service!

Sentinel Special Operations Bureau!

……

Chapter 146 Mutant David (Fifth update, please subscribe to all chapters!!)

Clarice's breathing seemed to quicken as she looked at the three 'SSS' marks on the file folder in David's hand.

The three S's, representing the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau, are to these mutants what hearing the name of the Third Reich is to Jews.

Yes.

In the minds of mutants, the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau is equivalent to the Third Reich.

Normally, they would avoid Sentinel Special Operations like the plague, but now, David has gone straight for them and even stolen their stuff.

"Are you crazy?"

“David.”

Clarice was speechless, looking at David with an expression as if he were an idiot: "And how many times have I told you, stop loitering in the vault. If you want to, fine, but please leave our school. Don't drag the rest of us down with you."

Ever since she learned that David had used his "transmission ability" to enter bank vaults and become rich, she immediately realized that if David didn't stop, sooner or later all the mutants he knew would be caught by the Sentinel Special Operations Department because of him.

So Clarice immediately confronted David.

You may use your mutant abilities as you wish, but please leave our school and do not implicate other law-abiding mutants.

If you want to stay in school, then stop using your superpowers so carelessly.

David agreed at the time, and during that period, David kept sending small snacks and gifts, which gradually softened Clarice's attitude.

Until this weekend.

When Clarice was browsing the internet at home and came across news reports from Atlanta about an unprecedented and bizarre bank robbery that occurred last Wednesday, her first thought was that David was behind it.

David happened to be on leave last Wednesday.
