The heavy brown wooden door closed, and as the bell rang, senior students led by Bobby and John gathered outside the study room. As teachers, Storm and Cyclops shook their heads helplessly. These children were too curious. , and the school does not have strict regulations, so they inevitably have to skip a lot sometimes.
The silver-haired Storm Ororo stood outside the door with her companion Scott. In fact, like the students, they were quite curious about what the professor was talking about with the young man.
As students of the bald old man, these young X-Men actually sensed the recent subtle changes within the school. Although the professor did not directly express his attitude, they were vaguely aware that the low-key principle that had been repeatedly emphasized in the past seemed to be beginning to loosen. .
Indistinct sounds came out through the thick wooden door. Senior students clung to the side and eavesdropped on the conversation in the study. The originally chattering discussion gradually stopped as the conversation deepened. Those clear or innocent eyes Turning, they may not understand the specific content of the discussion between the two parties, but they can probably understand that this is a discussion about the future of mutants.
Sean’s raised voice clearly reached the ears of everyone outside the door. Those powerful words could not help but silence everyone. Among them, the ones who were most touched were actually the senior students. Before they discovered the identity of the mutants, they all lived a miserable life. It was just a sudden change in the life of normal people that caused these children to lose their parents and family.
The introverted Iceman Bobby has tears in his eyes. It is precisely because of his status as a mutant that he cannot enjoy the warmth of his family and loses the care and tenderness of his parents. He had to leave his hometown in Boston and come to New York.
The parents still don’t know their son’s true identity, thinking that he is studying in a college preparatory class. They occasionally asked to come to the college to visit him a few times, but the panicked and frightened Bobby made excuses to politely refuse.
Other young mutants were also deeply touched. The reason why they came to this special school was not because of their status as mutants. They were rejected and discriminated against by normal society. This was especially true for Xiao Tao, who had been subjected to the community’s Driven away by her neighbors and even called to the police to arrest her, this poor girl fled from Mississippi to Canada. On the way, she met Wolverine Logan and found this peaceful haven after wandering all the way.
Almost every mutant has experienced something similar to the above. The hostility and rejection of this society towards them is everywhere, so they can only live a miserable life of hiding. Even their closest family members or friends can rarely accept it. A mutant – due to public opinion or lack of information, most people believe this is a disease or curse.
“He said it so well.” Little Naughty whispered, with a trace of longing and longing in his eyes.
Everyone had been looking forward to the bright future described by Sean, but reality completely crushed their hopes. They could only rely on the professor’s protection and live in this small world.
About twenty minutes later, when Sean opened the door, a wall of senior students blocked him outside. He was stunned for a moment. Not far away, Storm and Cyclops were thoughtful. The usually hostile Si Kurt’s eyes softened slightly.
The kind old man was sitting in a wheelchair. He looked at these innocent and lovely children, and his heart could not help but echo Sean’s words again. The school he had run all his life was a haven for fellow mutants, but he could not confine them here for the rest of his life. , the world outside is vast. If there is a chance to get rid of the worries of identity, who would be willing to hide in a small corner that is not noticed.
Maybe it’s time to take the first step?
The professor sighed slightly. If he could change the difficult situation of his compatriots, then it wouldn’t matter if he cooperated with the government. He just hoped that the result this time would not let his enthusiasm turn into a dream again.
“I hope you can have more contact with these children.” The bald old man showed his usual kind smile and pushed the wheelchair. “I will show you around.”
Sean glanced at the female secretary who was as silent as a statue. Yuriko nodded, indicating that there was nothing urgent to deal with today.
He took over Ms. Jean Grey’s work, pushed the wheelchair out of the main building, and strolled through this ancient manor with a long history. The professor explained every place in detail.
The sun slowly sank into the horizon, and the afterglow reflected on the lawn. The young and old figures overlapped each other and merged into a beautiful silhouette under the sunset.
After enjoying dinner, Sean stood alone on the balcony and quietly looked down at the earth. Deep in his heart, he felt peaceful. After an in-depth discussion with the professor, at least he had gained the power of the academy. After waiting for a period of time, he could bring Magneto to the throne. and his brothers were sent to the vast and fertile African continent, and the basic layout was completed.
As he said, temporary kindness is often unsustainable. Only the exchange of benefits between each other is truly permanent. If you want to firmly tie the mutants to the chariot, you must first let the professor see your own Sincerity.
Sean is not a pacifist, nor is he suddenly benevolent and wants to help mutants out of trouble. It’s just that in the future territory, this special ethnic group occupies an important position, and naturally it must be completely held in the palm of his hand.
Stepping out of the rest room, there was no one in the deep corridor. Only the dim lights on both sides of the wall were flashing. Sean walked casually and found that there was light in the storage room, and a girl wrapped tightly in her body sat there. On the table, I dug into a box of ice cream with a spoon and ate it with gusto. I didn’t even notice that someone was leaning against the door frame, watching everything.
“If you eat so much at night, won’t you gain weight?” The young man’s voice frightened the girl. She quickly wiped the remaining ice cream from the corner of her mouth, pretending to be innocent.
This move must have been practiced many times, and it was extremely skillful. Sean looked at that pitiful little face with no fluctuation in his heart. The little loli at home had used this trick too many times.
“Besides chocolate and milk, is there any whiskey or Budweiser beer here?” Sean opened the refrigerator and didn’t find what he was looking for.
“There is soda in the cabinet.” reminded the girl who was enjoying her ice cream.
With strangers present, she seemed a little embarrassed to continue her unrestrained style. She glanced at Sean secretly and finally asked uncontrollably: “Is what you said true? It’s possible for mutants to behave like normal people.” People are the same, go to school, work, get married?”
“We have to have a goal. It may be difficult to achieve it, but as long as there is still hope, we should work hard.”
Sean took a sip of his soda. He smiled and said, “I remember you, Anna-Marie. They called you Naughty.”
In his inner world, the girl wearing a pair of long black gloves is filled with a void of darkness, like a terrifying black hole that swallows everything.
The girl lowered her head, with a few strands of hair hanging down from her smooth forehead. She seemed a little afraid of the approach of strangers, like a very wary cub.
“Scott, he said you are not a good person.” The girl licked the ice cream on the spoon and whispered.
The corner of Sean’s mouth twitched. Although he was indeed not a good person, and he had no intention of becoming a superhero to save the world, it was not pleasant to hear such words from a beautiful girl.
“But you don’t look like a bad person either.” The innocent girl added.
“Why are you hiding alone? You don’t seem to be playing with them.” Sean noticed that the girl was always outside the group of students.
“I will hurt others.” The girl lowered her head. She almost caused Logan to lose his life once, and she has always been worried about this.
Sean suddenly remembered that the other party had the special ability to take away other people’s power and even life through skin contact, so she wrapped herself tightly for fear of accidentally injuring others.
In the previous timeline, in order to get rid of this trouble, the little naughty boy would rather be injected with Watsonton’s inhibitory serum to give up his identity as a mutant.
“It’s not your fault. God has given you this ability. Why should you be afraid of it?” Sean slowly approached and stretched out his hand to fiddle with the girl’s hair. “Umbrella has special tools to suppress mutations.” Potion of human ability, but I don’t think you need that kind of thing.”
