CH 3

After a day of classes, it quickly became late at night.

Yu tossed and turned in the dormitory, unable to fall asleep. The other mutant children in the dormitory were sleeping soundly, and there was even a chubby black boy snoring.

“Ah…”

Yu sighed and decided to give up trying to sleep. He got up and went to his desk.

His inability to sleep wasn’t because of the snoring black boy. It was because he realized he couldn’t manifest his mutant ability—the “Elementalization” ability mentioned by Hank.

Yu had asked carefully, and the reason he came to the mutant school was that a few days ago Professor X had found him lying in a patch of grass, his entire body in a glowing state of elementalization. Professor X thought he was a lost or abandoned mutant child and brought him to school.

It was now the year 1975.

The mutant school had been rebuilt only two years after the incident where Magneto wreaked havoc in Washington.

In this era of discrimination against mutants, there were often cases of mutant children being abandoned, so Professor X temporarily classified Yu as one of the “abandoned” mutants.

As for why Professor X and Hank knew his name, Yu had told them himself.

This puzzled Yu.

“So who was in control of this body before I came here? If there was a previous owner with the same name, I should have fused with their memories during the transfer. Why is there nothing now?”

“And how should I use this damned elementalization ability?”

Yu was frustrated and felt like hitting someone.

The Marvel world was a high-risk world, everyone knew that. If he was an ordinary child from a regular family, it would be fine, but he was a member of the mutant school.

The school seemed safe with Professor X’s protection, but Yu knew that many people coveted the mutant school. It often became the focal point of various battles!

Moreover, the incident of Magneto wreaking havoc in Washington two years ago proved that this was a timeline after the reversal.

What would happen in the future after the reversal?

Yu didn’t know the specific events in between, but he knew the beginning and the end.

Apocalypse would appear in the future.

Mutants would still disappear in the future, and the X-Men would disintegrate. Some key members of the X-Men would even die due to Charles’ mental paralysis after suffering from senility, and eventually, even Wolverine would die, buried in the dust due to power regression and severe injuries.

It was a tragedy.

And Yu didn’t know if this was a purely X-Men mutant world or if the Avengers and others would exist.

If the Avengers and others existed, then this world would be even more dangerous…

Hydra, Loki, Chitauri, Ultron, Thanos…

The more Yu thought about it, the more agitated he became.

He didn’t want to come to the Marvel world only to live an ordinary life for a few decades and die, or be captured for human experimentation, or die in various dangerous battles without knowing why. To survive in this dangerous world, he had to plan ahead and make himself stronger and stronger!

Which Transmigrator doesn’t have dreams of becoming stronger?

“But now I don’t even know how to use my own ability, so what’s the point of becoming stronger?”

“Perhaps tomorrow I can find Professor X and ask for his help in using my abilities.”

Yu rested his cheek on his hand, lost in thought.

At that moment, his gaze inadvertently fell upon a faint golden glow in the corner of his desk, illuminated by the moonlight.

“Hmm?”

“What’s this?”

Yu’s face showed a hint of curiosity.

The golden flash just now seemed to resemble an apple. What kind of fruit could emit a golden light?

With curiosity, Yu moved aside some books on his desk to allow more moonlight to shine in. Finally, he was able to clearly see the appearance of that thing. But his expression froze in that instant.

He blinked his eyes and took a deep breath, his face filled with disbelief.

“This… this is…”

Yu swallowed hard, reached out and touched it, then swallowed again.

Still in disbelief.

Finally, he carefully picked up that thing and held it in front of his eyes.

It was indeed a fruit, but its appearance was extremely peculiar—it was entirely golden. Even if the collector from the Marvel world saw it, he probably wouldn’t recognize what it was. However, Yu recognized it at a glance because it was something from an anime he had watched in his previous life, “One Piece.”

A Devil Fruit!

And judging from its golden exterior, it was likely a logia-type fruit that granted the power of light—The Glint-Glint Fruit!

But why would a Devil Fruit from the One Piece world end up in the Marvel world?

Or perhaps, this wasn’t really a Devil Fruit, but some kind of bizarre mutated fruit or even a toy?

Yu squeezed it forcefully, sniffed it, and confirmed that it wasn’t a toy but a genuine fruit.

As for whether it was a real Devil Fruit… Yu ultimately decided to eat it.

There was no other reason—this shouldn’t be a poisonous fruit.

How could a poisonous fruit end up on his desk? Besides, since he could inexplicably travel to the Marvel world, why couldn’t a Devil Fruit from the One Piece world come along?

With this in mind, Yu took a deep breath, cautiously left the dormitory, and arrived at a deserted garden within the school.

Under the moonlight, he looked at the peculiar golden fruit in his hand. Finally, he made up his mind, opened his mouth, and took three or four bites, swallowing it all.
