Thomas's elongated limbs shrunk to normal size, the white aura that was surrounding him dispersed. The only thing that remained, was his cat ears and cat's tail, which made a hole in his pants. His eyes also changed color from brown to red.

Johnson was shocked. The thing that he fought was actually a human! What's more, he knows this person!
"Are…. Are you Thomas Walker?" he asked, without dropping his guard.
"What… happened?" Thomas asked in a tired voice. "Where… Are… Those two bastards? Did I kill them? Am I in trouble?" Thomas was unsure.
"No… Those kids will be fine. One of them will have to be hospitalized for a while tho" Johnson explains. "What happened to you? This is the first time that I see a mutation as powerful as yours!
"I don't know… They wanted to beat me up… And then my mind went blank" he explained. However, he wasn't explaining it to Johnson, he explained it to himself because he was still dizzy.
"So, congratulations! You became the first mutant in existence, that had the power to fight a peak gold magician from the very beginning." Fight? More like beating the crap out of one. If he hadn't regained sanity, I would be dead by now. "About you losing your senses, it is quite normal to mutants. Most of them lose their senses if the mutation is too hard. Some even die actually.
" So it's normal?" Thomas asked.
"Yes, how do you feel thou? You're no longer able to use magic… Only your mutation…" Johnson said, however, Thomas had one more surprise for him.
Thomas started conjuring a fireball in his arm. It wasn't mutation's ability. It was magic! What the hell? This should be impossible! Johnson thought that those fireballs Thomas's spit out before were conjured by a mutation, but now he realized it was magic after all.
"Uh, I think I can still use magic." Thomas sarcastically showed him blue fireballs that he conjured.
"So, why do those kids want to beat you up?" Johnson was curious. "Have you done something wrong?"
"Nah, they were just bullies." Now Thomas was a bit more relaxed. "In fact, they were the reason for my previous suicide attempt"
" I see… No wonder you had such killing intent…" Johnson replied. "Are you busy right now? Can you come with me?"
"Where? Did I do anything wrong?" Thomas was a bit irritated, he didn't think that his transformation would be so big, that it would attract MMLO. "It was self-defense you know!"
"Yeah, However, you're the first high-level mutant that can actually use magic. You literally entered future's history books.
Huh? HUUUH????
"Soooo, can you come with me?" Johnson was really excited. In fact, he was shaking with excitement.
"Well, I am hungry. Can we get something to eat first?" Thomas asked.
"Yeah, I know a very good café if you're interested. This one will be on me" Johnson smiled.
However, this was the moment that he saw two helicopters above their heads. One was a news helicopter, and from the other, six people jumped off. They were high-ranking adventurers. The weakest one in the group was a healer, and even she was ranked Legendary two. The strongest one was peak legendary.
"Where is the monster, did you finish it up?" she asked Thomas because she could sense that his mutation was already ranked almost peak legendary.
"There was no monster, it was me. I mutated just now, and due to that I lost my sanity for about a minute" Thomas replied.
"What?!?" the group said in unison. They couldn't believe that this man is a new awakened. It's the first time ever that someone would get to rank legendary this fast. But their doubts vanished after Johnson confirmed it.
"HaHa, I want to see what your faces will look like after I tell you that not only he has the legendary rank mutation, but he can also use magic spells!" Johnson laughed while looking at their shocked expressions.
"WHAT?!?" They screamed in unison.
