Chapter 81 Our Future (2nd 8,600 words for subscription, for votes~)
Of course, Katie's thoughts grew stronger and stronger, and the vague outline continued to refine in her mind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info She walked to the center of the common room where she stood in front of all the students.
She felt like she needed to say something, she needed to do something. Although she was a little green when she spoke to so many people at the beginning, she stammered a little: "Big ~ everyone, everyone listen to me!"
She patted her cheek so that her somewhat stiff tongue could nimbly say the words she wanted: "Please listen to me!"
The students, who had been in the common room, involuntarily turned their eyes to the place where the sound was coming from. The direction in which Katie is located.
The mutant school does not have many students, with only about 500 students at its peak and only about 300 at its lowest, and the number of students in the upper grades is the smallest. So many of the upperclassmen know each other, even if they're not in the same class.
So Katie is a girl, everyone knows her. Because she is the most smiling girl in school, and she is very beautiful, and she likes to draw. In fact, in addition to Dai Ken, there are many other male classmates who have a crush on her.
Everyone looked at Katie, wondering what she wanted to do. But at least she had broken the gloomy atmosphere she had just had. Everyone at least turned their attention away and was not there to grieve alone.
"Breathe ~ Breathe!" Katie reminded herself inwardly. She needed a deep breath to ease her tension, the first time she had spoken in front of so many people, and at the same time that ridiculous and childish idea in her own heart. She didn't know if she was right, but she felt she needed to try, and even if it didn't work, at least she wouldn't regret it.
"I know what the school is in now!" Katie said to all the students, eager to know what caused the current situation.
Katie suppressed the nervousness and excitement in her heart, and tried to tell the news she had just received from the Nightkin in a calm tone: "It's all because of Magneto......"
Although Katie's narration is in-depth, she tells her classmates exactly what the Nightkin told her. When I heard that the whole thing was a trap of Magneto, someone finally couldn't sit still.
"How could he do that! He framed the professor like this and made us lose our school. Our classmates, our friends!, and I'm going to be homeless!" The little naughty couldn't help himself. She's a mutant with the ability to absorb, and her abilities are dangerous.
Because she is able to absorb and release the life force of others, and recently her abilities have begun to mutate in more bizarre directions under the school's teachings, it seems that she can begin to absorb mutant abilities and release them.
This danger of being naughty makes her almost unrecognized in human society. Even in the mutant school, she wears special gloves to avoid inadvertent skin-to-skin contact with others. But even so, the mutant school was her favorite place. Because the teachers here are not afraid of her and do not discriminate against her.
They tell Naughty that it's not a disease, it's just a mutant ability. All Naughty needs to do is learn how to control it and not let this ability hurt others.
For the love of the school, except for the little naughty, all the students present are no exception. The older the students, the more they understand what this school means to them. Because they're old enough and smart enough. I know how to tell the difference between right and wrong.
The denunciation of Magneto begins among the students, and everyone hates Magneto. Because he ruined everyone's otherwise peaceful life. There was even a student who said not to leave the school, he wanted to stay and fight side by side with the teacher. Fight Magneto to the end.
The idea was quickly recognized by the other students, and in an instant the indignant group of young people seemed to form an alliance. They know how strong they are, and the school has taught them how to use their strengths. They believe they can do great things.
"Quiet! Quiet!" Katie shouted twice as she looked at the frenzy of the scene, "You all sit down for me!"
At this moment, Katie seemed to be possessed by a Valkyrie, and suddenly became very imposing and yelled at all the students. "Your methods are not going to help. Now that things have come to this point, even if you kill Magneto, will the school be restored!"
This sentence instantly poured cold water on everyone. Yes, Magneto is dead, but he has managed to provoke the human government's hatred of mutants. What follows is a never-ending situation. In this way, the school still can't be saved. It is impossible to return to the peaceful life.
After figuring these things out, several of the girls in the students below were already crying.
"So what can we do? Watch Magneto do this, watch all the Professor's hard work be ruined. It was the professor who built a home for us, a home that belongs to us. We have to do something!" Bob the Iceman felt he could do something. He is an alpha-class mutant, especially since the last time he went to the North Pole with the Nightkin and the others, his abilities have grown more and more.
Katie looked at the somewhat excited Iceman and said, "You're right, Bob, the professor has built a home for us, and he has put up an umbrella for us. But until today I didn't realize it, or we didn't realize it. ”
Katie looked around at all the students present, her speech was becoming more and more fluent, and her thoughts were becoming clearer: "This person who holds up the umbrella for us mutants is old!"
"We have been growing and learning under his care. He protects us like a giant pillar that holds up the heavens and the earth, and these things make us forget about it. The professor is already an eighty-year-old man. Katie whispered this, and the whole scene was silent.
Professor X Charles Xavier was born around the time of World War II, and now that the war ended seventy-two years ago, this gentleman who seems to be in good spirits is already an unscrupulous old man.
It's just because of his spirit, his abilities that make him look not as old as his grade.
"My grandfather had been retired for twenty years when he was teaching this senior. Every day, I just go to the park to play chess with others, and occasionally cook for me and my parents to be guests. Katie's words hit the nail on the head.
"But Professor Charles is this age, but he is still busy every day. He has dedicated his life to the cause of mutants, and he has dedicated his life to me and everyone here, thinking of mutant children like us!"
"No matter how long an umbrella is supported, there will always be a day when it will rot. The professor is old. When Katie said that the professor was old, the audience fell silent.
This was something that none of the students present had ever imagined. Maybe it's something they never dared to think about in their hearts. Because of the fusion of the X gene, the higher the degree of fusion of mutants, such as alpha and beta, the life of this type of mutant will be extended to a certain extent.
But that doesn't change the fact that the professor is getting old. Katie looked at the quiet classmates and continued, "The professor has done enough for us, he should rest." Just like my grandfather, who has worked hard all his life, I hope that the professor's days will not be spent in a struggle every day. He should be like a normal person, having time to play chess with others, or to play his favorite games. Maybe you can go to the senior drinking party and find a suitable lifelong partner. ”
Katie's last words caused everyone to burst into laughter. With her unique female perspective, she interprets Professor X in another way. Perhaps in the eyes of this gentle and strong girl, Professor X is not a superhero, just an old and kind elder.
With a smile on her lips, Katie continued, "The professor is old, and so is Magneto. Magneto's philosophy is out of date. He's even older than the professor's grade. To put it rudely, he has one foot in the coffin! Why should a dying man interfere in the lives of those of us who are alive!"
Katie shook her little fist vigorously, "Maybe neither the Professor nor Magneto really realized that their time has passed!"
Katie's idea was a reversal of the minds of many students at this moment, and they exchanged glances with each other, finding that each other's eyes were just as full of incredulity as their own.
"And we're the future of mutants! We're younger, we're longer. Only we can choose what path we should take!The future of mutants should be chosen by young people, not two old men! Because they may not understand what life we want to be like!" Katie became more and more fluent in speech, and she wanted to pour out her thoughts.
"So what exactly do you want? Katie. Bob looked at Katie with disbelief in his eyes. And the little naughty next to him looked at Katie, but his eyes were full of recognition and even adoration.
"An idea that may be a little immature, may be a little absurd. I'm not sure if I can actually implement it, but I'd like to give it a try. Katie hesitated, but she spoke up anyway.
"I think we should build a country! a country of real mutants! It's not the radical idea that mutants rule ordinary people, or ordinary people rule mutants! What we need is a platform for equal dialogue and be able to speak to governments on an equal footing!" Katie's eyes were full of hope.
"Only if we stand on the same level as them will they be willing to listen to what we have to say. We welcome mutants to move to this country, and those who are discriminated against in human society will have a place to go. In my mind, this will be an enlarged version of Xavier's School for the Gifted, and we will enlarge it into a country!"
"We should love peace, but we are not afraid of war. If the Jews can build Israel, then why can't the mutants build their own New Eden!"
"My ideas are so immature that I don't even know how to make a polity. But I'm willing to try, and I want to reach out to those who are out there. Those who are peaceful and neutral among the mutants. I think they might be convinced by my idea. Katie smiled shyly as she said this, she wasn't sure if she really knew that way.
"Of course, there is a good chance that my plan has failed. But I wanted to give it a try, at least I won't regret it later. And now I want to ask all of you who are like-minded with me. Let's use the voice of young mutants to say our own attitude towards the future! This time, the future of mutants should not be decided by a few!"
Katie said this sentence firmly, and at the same time slowly raised her right hand and clenched it into a fist in mid-air.
The students in the audience exchanged glances with each other, and slowly the first fist was raised, followed by the second, and the third, and more and more students began to raise their hands in the air.
Little Naughty raises his fist, and Bob the Iceman raises his fist. Then all the students present raised their fists. This time, all the boxers are companions!
Katie's eyes were welling up with tears in her eyes, and she tried not to let her tears slip down, and her voice trembled: "Our future should be up to us!"
At this moment today, maybe Magneto didn't think of it, Professor X didn't think of it, and Li Jie didn't think of it. Katie interprets the direction of the development of mutants with her own feminine perspective and unique charm.
And this sentence: Our future will be determined by ourselves!
