Ch: 51 [No human contact]

[Mutant Academy]

Thanks to the AI auto-drive function, I didn't have to drive with my fuzzy head. I hope they can help me somehow since awakeners and mutants more or less fall under the same category, except for the genetic changes. Other than that, the training procedure is more or less the same.

I would have asked Blade for help if I knew his location or number. I could have called and asked mom about him, but she had enough to worry about. I don't want to add any more burdens on her.

However, why the hell is the gate closed? Don't tell me they went on a vacation. I don't see any students or anyone in the vicinity. There has to be someone. I parked the car in front of the gate and got out.

"Hey! Anyone home? Open up..." I yelled a couple of times, but no one replied. They should have installed a gate bell or something. Well, fuck it. I blow the iron gate away with a single punch. I will fix it later. I drove inside.

I parked the car near the main door and pressed the doorbell. No one... It's dead silence. I used Blood Vision to check for any human lifeforms in the building. Sadly, it's empty. Haaa. Just my luck. There is nothing more to do here.

The dizziness and the nauseating feeling seem to have subsided a little. "My throat isn't parched anymore. My senses are clearing. I can feel it. My strength is slowly growing without enhancement. I can see things more clearly. Everything around me looks so vibrant," I mumbled to myself in amazement.

It seems like- the more I resist the thirst for blood, the stronger I become. If I am somewhat like a vampire, although I know it's not a mutation, but still... if I am somewhat like them, then my body should have withered by now without blood, or I might have already lost my mind and gone on a rampage. But instead of becoming weaker, I am growing stronger every second.

Dracul is having a reverse effect on my body. The weaknesses of the vampires are making me stronger. If I can just learn how to resist my urge to drink blood... it will be awesome. But it's hard on my own.

I can only run away from crowded places and wait it out for now.

I fixed the broken gate. Now, this looks better and stronger than before. Well, time to go, but a familiar smell made me stop in my tracks. Rogue!

"Hello!" said the girl.

I turned back. It's that girl, Rogue. I can never forget her smell. She is standing behind me. When did she get this close? I didn't even sense her presence. Is it because she doesn't pose a threat, or is it related to her power?

I remember the professor saying that she is a special case. Sadly, she can't have human contact due to her abilities. Other than that, I don't have any information about her. And it's freaking boiling hot outside, and she has to wear thick gloves and full-sleeved clothes. I feel sorry for her.

Seesh! Talk about sad life. She can't touch anyone. She can't kiss anyone or make love to anyone. She must feel lonely all the time.

Humm. Now that I think about it, her power didn't work on me back then. Should I touch her? I don't mean it in the wrong way. She is a human, and she must want to have some human contact. Maybe I should lend her a hand.

But before that, let me check something quickly...

I think I have a rough idea of what her abilities are. Well, let's check why my aura didn't detect her presence. I sent a string of red aura toward Rogue to check out my doubt.

Yup. I was right. The string disappeared instantly on coming in contact with Rogue's skin. So, she is an absorbing type. That's rare.

As far as I know... absorbing types are extremely rare, and there are treated like gold egg-laying geese due to their ability to render their opponents powerless like a nullifier. But unlike a nullifier, they can extract an amount of power from their opponents and use that power as their own.

No wonder I didn't sense her presence. She must have absorbed some kind of stealth power.

I remember reading a funny article in the Daily Bugle... They put a bounty on Spiderman and tried to recruit absorbing type ability holders to capture him, stating that the only way to stop that slippery menace is to absorb his bug power and unmask him. But that plan ultimately failed with the Avengers stepping in. That angry look on Jameson's face... It was a sight to see.

Anyway, let's greet her. Maybe she knows where everyone from the academy went.

Rogue picked up her gloves and wore them. I used my Q&Q on my torn shirt to fix it.

"You alright?" I inquired.

"I-I am ok. Haha! Can't believe it. I just touched a person with my naked hands without hurting or killing him. I even kissed him... OMG, this is real," Rogue clenched her fist together and jumped in excitement. She looks just like an innocent girl who just found something precious.

It took Rogue a few minutes to come back to reality and accept it.

...

...

We talked for a while sitting in my car. All hail car AC.

Today is supposed to be a holiday due to some important mission that came up today morning. So, the professor and the others left. And those who live in the dorm went to the water park with Jean. Since Rogue's power has been running wild for a while, she decided to stay at the dorm.

We exchanged our numbers while talking. I told her to let the professor know that I came by and to give me a call upon his arrival.

"Uumm... You are looking at your watch again. You were busy, right? I guess I held you long enough..." said Rogue.

Although she was aggressive earlier, after talking with her, I feel like she is kinda shy and insecure. Now, I can see a tint of sadness on her face. Haaa... I feel bad, but I have to go now. But...

"Are you free tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yes, I am free," Rogue quickly replied with a smile.

"How about I pick you up at 10:00 AM?" I asked.

"Alright. Okay. Yeah. 10 is good..." Rogue replied with a slight stutter. Then, she opened the door and got out of the car.

"I will see you tomorrow," I said.

"Yeah. Tomorrow," replied Rogue.

We said our goodbyes, and then I left.

Things are looking great for me. Today date with Jenny and probably Harley too, then tomorrow with Rogue, and the next day with Miss Emma Frost.

For now... Let's buy some clothes for my girls and head back home.
