"Learn, then apply. That's all."
He turned his back to Dr. Silas and walked into the chaotic corridor.
Behind him, Dr. Silas's despairing gaze and the deafening shouts and explosions filled the air.
The rioting mutants surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, overwhelming the hastily reacting guards.
Uchiha Ei mingled among them, his figure like a ghost.
He doesn't participate in combat; he simply moves efficiently.
Encountering an alloy gate that blocks the way?
[Analyzing the access control protocol...simulating guard access bands...] The door opened.
Encountering patrolling soldiers?
[Learn their tactical movement patterns... predict bullet trajectories... use airflow to deflect bullets...]
The figure flashed by.
You encounter a mutant guard who can unleash shockwaves?
[Analyzing the shock wave frequency... Constructing a reverse vibration wave... Disrupting its energy stability...]
The guards' attacks inexplicably failed, swallowed up by the surging tide of mutants.
He was like a sponge, frantically absorbing everything around him—ability usage, combat techniques, base structure, security loopholes.
He was using this riot as a final and most dangerous opportunity for practical learning.
Finally, he saw the emergency evacuation route leading to the outside world.
Several powerful mutants had blasted open the last gate, and the long-awaited night sky and fresh air rushed in.
Behind them came the hurried footsteps and roars of the base's elite pursuit team: "Stop them! Kill them without mercy!"
Without hesitation, Uchiha Sō joined the fleeing crowd and broke free from the hell that had imprisoned him for so long.
……
Cold rain lashed against his face. In a dirty alley in Queens, New York, Uchiha Hajime sat leaning against a wall, breathing heavily.
His clothes were tattered, and he had multiple abrasions on his body, which were left behind when he escaped the base and got rid of the military's elite squad (a pursuit team composed of some low-level mutants and highly trained special forces).
Along the way, he used all the abilities he had learned to the fullest: using a faint airflow to accelerate his run, using a water film to temporarily change his facial contours to avoid cameras, using precise electrical sparks to short-circuit the pursuers' communication equipment, and even using his rudimentary understanding of mental techniques to project simple, misleading hallucinations...
Finally, he temporarily shook off his pursuers and infiltrated the vast, chaotic, and infinitely possible city called New York.
The rain washed away the filth from his body, making him more alert.
He could sense that the city was filled with countless powerful energy reactions, like stars in the night sky.
Heroes? Demons? Wizards? Alien technology? The Brotherhood of Mutants? S.H.I.E.L.D.?
The chaotic laws intertwine and collide here, riddled with loopholes.
Uchiha Sho slowly raised his head, rainwater flowing down his black hair and dripping onto the ground.
Those deep eyes no longer held the indifference of the laboratory, but instead ignited a cold, controlling flame.
The military base is just a beginner's area.
This is his true stage.
His "super learning" ability is thirstily sensing the countless power rules flowing through the city.
"Tony Stark's technology... Steve Rogers' serum... Hulk's gamma radiation... Doctor Strange's magic... and those hidden dimensional energies..."
He muttered to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"So, which one should we start 'learning' from?"
Chapter 294, Uncle Wolf and Little Rascal
The cold rain soaked through his thin clothes. Uchiha Xiang leaned against the damp brick wall of the alley, breathing slightly heavily.
Escaping the pursuit of that elite military squad took a lot of effort. He was far from being proficient in using the few abilities he had just begun to master, and relied more on the precise calculations and predictions brought about by "super learning".
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps and suppressed gasps came from the alley entrance.
"Let me go! Who are you?!"
A girl's terrified voice rang out.
Then came a deep, hoarse, and wild male voice, roaring impatiently: "Get away from her, you piece of trash!"
The ear-piercing sound of metal scraping (Adamantium claws extended) and several dull thuds followed by screams were followed by two men dressed in black combat uniforms, clearly plainclothes agents, flying backward and crashing heavily onto the wet street, lifeless.
A tall figure blocked the alley entrance. He wore a tattered leather jacket, had wild hair, and fierce eyes like a wild beast. Between his fingers, three gleaming claws slowly retracted.
Behind him, a young girl wearing gloves, who looked panicked, was hiding.
Uchiha Eboshi's Rinnegan instinctively activated, analyzing: [Individual 1: Male. Abnormally dense skeletal structure containing ultra-high-strength metal. Extremely high cellular activity, possessing extremely strong self-healing factors. Fighting style: Wild, direct, efficient. Threat level: High.]
[Individual Two: Female. Life energy and even abilities can be absorbed upon skin contact (tentative). Energy manifestation is unstable; currently in a state of fear. Threat level: Low (currently).]
Clearly, they weren't the group that was after him, and they had just dealt with what could have been another group of troublemakers.
The man—Logan, or rather Wolverine—immediately detected the scent of another person in the alley with his keen sense of smell.
He whirled around, his fierce gaze locking onto Uchiha Elephant in the shadows. His claws snapped out again, blocking the girl—Mary (Little Rascal).
"Who's there? Come out!"
He growled, like a fierce beast protecting its cubs.
Uchiha Sho slowly emerged from the shadows, raindrops dripping from the ends of his dark hair.
He raised his hands to indicate that he was unarmed, his expression calm, even carrying a perfectly measured hint of weariness and wariness: "I mean no harm. It seems you're in trouble too."
His gaze swept over the unconscious agent on the ground, then turned to Logan and Mary: "I'm not one of them."
Mary timidly peeked out from behind Logan, looking at the dark-haired boy who was about her age, also soaking wet and looking somewhat disheveled. The fear in her eyes faded slightly, replaced by a sense of shared misery.
"You...you're being hunted by them too?"
She asked in a low voice.
"You could say that."
Uchiha Elephant gave a brief response, while his [Super Learning] functioned at full power, recording Logan's muscle exertion, stance, and the bio-energy fluctuations emanating from the extremely faint yet unusually active self-healing factor in the air.
"The perfect melee template and a sample of resilience," he thought.
Logan remained vigilant, his nose twitching a few times: "You smell of blood, and... the stench of the lab. Who are you?"
"An experimental subject who just escaped."
Uchiha Enoki chose to speak the truth in certain parts, which resonated most with the audience.
"They call me number 1347. I don't have a name."
He glanced at the gloves on Mary's hands. "It seems we're in somewhat similar situations?"
Mary instinctively withdrew her hand, nodded, and her eyes dimmed.
The sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance, indicating that the fighting had attracted attention.
"Tsk, troublesome."
Logan spat in annoyance and withdrew his claws. "This place is no longer safe. Kid, can you walk by yourself?"
Uchiha Ei nodded. His stamina had recovered somewhat, and the simulated "Gale" ability was enough for him to keep up with the running speed of an ordinary person.
"Follow us, no tricks!"
Logan warned, then grabbed Mary's wrist (through her clothes), "Let's go!"
The three quickly navigated through the complex alleyways, shaking off the police who had come after hearing the commotion.
They stopped temporarily in a relatively safe abandoned parking lot.
After a brief exchange (mainly Mary talking, with Logan occasionally throwing in a swear word), Uchiha Sho roughly understood their situation:
Mary ran away from home after hurting her boyfriend because of her out-of-control abilities, and Logan lost his memory, but they had a common destination—Westchester, New York, a place that supposedly helps mutants like them, a school founded by a professor named Charles Xavier.
"Professor X?"
Uchiha Sho timely expressed doubt and a hint of interest, "Is it... really safe there? Can he control... our abilities?"
His gaze seemingly casually swept over Mary's gloves and Logan's arm, which concealed sharp claws.
"I heard he's the most powerful psychic, and he can help us."
Mary's eyes were full of hope. "It's better than being caught by these people outside, right?"
She looked at Uchiha Sho, as if seeking approval.
[A psychic? The most powerful?]
Uchiha Sō's heart sank, but he remained outwardly calm.
This might be a problem... His Grand Luo-level mental state made him immediately begin to deduce how to deal with possible mind detection.
We need to build a mental barrier to simulate the thought processes of ordinary mutants... but this requires samples and data.
"That sounds much better than a military lab."
Uchiha Ei chimed in, his tone carrying a deliberate hint of longing, "At least... it sounds like a place where I can stay in peace."
He perfectly portrayed a confused teenager who had just escaped from a den of iniquity and longed for a sanctuary.
Logan crossed his arms, leaned against the rusty frame, and snorted, "Who knows if it's another lab. But we should still go check it out."
He turned to look at Uchiha Sho and extended an invitation.
"Hey kid, wanna come along?"
This was exactly the opportunity that Uchiha Sō had been waiting for.
The Xavier's Academy, with these two (Wolverine's super healing and fighting instincts, and Rogue's energy absorption), and the many more mutants they mentioned (ice, fire, shock beams, telepathy, etc.)... it's practically a treasure trove of superpowers waiting for him to explore!
Joining as a harmless, needy exile is the perfect cover.
"May I?"
