Chapter Seventy-Two: Take Care to Protect Your Brain!

Ignore how Professor McGonagall later managed to get rid of Sirius, the evil man in her heart.

But for now,

Daniel was intrigued by the mutant leader in front of him, Professor Charles Xavier, who was in a wheelchair.

You know, even a strong-willed captain will often have headaches when leading a group of superheroes with different personalities.

And leading mutants, it's only going to be harder than that, not easier.

Because, unlike superheroes, whose reputation among the public is mixed, (recently, PR has done better, and gradually began to receive some high praise);

Since its birth, the mutant group has been ostracized and persecuted by human beings, and even some extremist elements hope to completely exterminate this group.

Therefore, Charles, as the leader of the mutants, is not just as simple as leading students and teaching.

He's not just going to have to deal with some strife within the mutants.

At the same time, they must bear the tremendous pressure exerted by the outside world, unite all their companions, and do their best to protect their fellow citizens.

It is not easy to maintain an optimistic attitude in such a difficult situation.

Daniel only needs to think about the miserable days after the Skovia incident, in order to prevent the group of superheroes from being criticized by public opinion, and he can't help but be in awe of Professor Charles, who has always adhered to his ideas, protected mutants and committed to peace.

Yes, many ordinary human beings are willing to admit the existence of superheroes, and even in times of crisis, hope to be saved by superheroes.

But they usually have a hard time accepting the existence of mutants.

It's subtle.

But when you think about it, it's not surprising.

The existence of superheroes is an example, such as Captain America is the 'super soldier serum', Iron Man relies on technological equipment, Thor is a god, and so on.

So, although these superheroes also form an agency called the 'Avengers', they are sparsely numbered and do not steal the resources of ordinary people.

Mutants are a growing race that also needs resources.

Especially in recent years, there have been more and more mutants, and they have different abilities that are difficult to control......

For another analogy, such as Katie, the phantom cat that the twins met before, she can enter and exit any house as long as she wants, without hindrance, which makes ordinary people not have the slightest sense of security.

At the same time, mutants are indeed superior to humans in terms of genetic evolution.

In the future, if they really let them develop smoothly.

Then, replacing the existence of human beings, it is not a matter of time.

Perhaps, the future existence of mankind in the history books will only appear in a simple narrative, like the extinct Neanderthals: the overwhelming superiority of Homo sapiens (mutants) forced the gradual extinction of Neanderthals (humans).

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Thinking about it this way, you can understand why ordinary humans are so strongly rejected by mutants.

Because, who would want to be a 'eliminated' and 'extinct' deposit?

"But we don't want to weed out and exterminate humanity."

Professor Charles interrupted Daniel's train of thought by suddenly speaking: "I'm sorry......"

He nodded his head lightly with his finger and said apologetically, "I really didn't mean to, I just accidentally did it, uh...... Feel the words in your head...... The ideas are so interesting. ”

He stretched out his hand, childishly compared a very small distance between his index finger and thumb, and emphasized seriously: "I can't help but look at it a little, really, just a little." ”

"It's nothing, I just thought about it from the standpoint of ordinary people."

Daniel laughed dumbly: "And if you don't say it, I won't know." ”

Then, he replied indifferently: "As long as you don't turn over those deep memories in my head, or control me for something, it's nothing." On the contrary, I feel that many times, the power of language often fails to express the full meaning, and even, occasionally, due to the different tone and emotional influence of each person's speech, it is easy for people to misunderstand. If everyone can have such a great telepathy like you, it is difficult to say that there will be a lot less misunderstanding and friction in communication. ”

"It's a novel statement, but I like it." Charles laughed heartily for the first time.

He snapped his fingers happily and joked with a smile, "It's the first time I've met someone who isn't afraid of psychic abilities. In fact, most of the time, the phrase I hear most often is......"

"Get out of my head, Charles!"

He imitates someone's tone, and imitates it beautifully.

The professor looks like a personable aristocratic gentleman, but once you get acquainted with him, you will find that his real personality is very active, cheerful and optimistic.

But because of his ability, when he usually gets along with others, he will always involuntarily follow the keen feeling brought by his ability, and subconsciously make the people around him feel comfortable, considerate of friends, and empathetic.

This has indeed made most of the mutants like him, respect him, and gather around him, willing to follow his guidance and teachings.

But on the other hand, paying too much attention to protecting the hearts and minds of others and taking care of others also makes him neglect himself most of the time.

Therefore, it is rare to meet a person who thinks in his heart and says that he is basically the same as he says, and there are not too many dark and sensitive people in his heart.

Charles was really surprised.

He subconsciously glanced at Daniel again.

These two people, who are also extremely high in terms of affinity, actually have a tacit feeling.

"It's nice to see you all have a good time, though."

Professor McGonagall suddenly interjected, "But, Daniel, I remember Sirius saying that your Occlumency is not bad?" Now, is it a step backwards? ”

Then, she turned her head to look at Charles again, her expression as serious and stern as ever: "No offense, Principal Xavier, but using abilities indiscriminately is not what a division commander should do." ”

"I know it's wrong, Professor."

"I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall."

Charles and Daniel Qiqi apologized under the supervision of this powerful lady with a strict personality.

Then, they couldn't help but smile at each other, their blue eyes almost identical in their clear, and a mischievous look that knew each other.

[Has she always been so stern?] ]

Charles quietly asked in Daniel's head with his ability.

[Yes, but she was fair, just, courageous, dedicated her life to education, she loved all her students, treated them equally, and was a respectable professor.] ]

Daniel didn't shy away from answering him in his head.

“…… I really suspect that you're getting more and more crooked by Sirius......"

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but mutter Daniel.

She had always had high hopes for Black, who was younger than Sirius but brought great change and development to the wizarding world.

Now, probably seeing that real people have become 'unreliable', this old-fashioned lady who has taught all her life has committed occupational diseases for a while.

[uh...... It seems like I'm a problem with you. ]

Charles went on to say in Daniel's mind: [The wizard is for ...... Is there any taboo about being put into the brain by others? Thinks Professor McGonagall cares about this? ]

[No one likes to be put in their brains!] ]

Daniel replied to him very directly: [However, Professor McGonagall takes this very seriously, and for a reason.] Wizards have an evil magic called Soul Extraction, which can read other people's memories and emotions, which is illegal in the wizarding world. Moreover, this kind of magic, unlike your abilities, is more brutal and extremely damaging...... To put it simply, it is to use brute force, rummaging back and forth in people's heads, stirring people's heads into a ball, strict, and may even make people stupid. ]

[It's dangerous.] Still, I hope to learn more about the magic of your wizards in the future. ]

Charles said with a very researching spirit.

When the two of them secretly deserted and chatted.

Professor McGonagall was still seriously speaking, "...... Although it is good to be worthy of your heart, how can you casually let people into your head...... I'm sorry, Headmaster Xavier, but I'm not targeting you......"

"It's okay."

When he was 'named', Charles almost didn't react.

He quickly stopped his 'brain chat' with Daniel, and re-revealed the gentle and polite smile that matched the headmaster of the academy: "You are right, the brain should indeed be well protected. ”

Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction and continued to 'roll call': "Daniel, don't get distracted, I'm really worried about you, first you learned Animagus indiscriminately, and then you didn't have any vigilance at all, how did Alphad educate you back then?" ”

This lady with a serious personality asked like a division commander who 'hates iron but can't make steel'.

"Uh...... I'm weak in magic. ”

Daniel instinctively pretended to be pitiful: "So, I haven't received much orthodox lessons from wizards." ”

Professor McGonagall was amazed, for this was the first time she had heard Daniel raise the issue of 'education'.

"There are no wizarding schools in the United States, professor."

Daniel continued to feign pity, trying to get Professor McGonagall to stop her babbling.

He blinked his innocent blue eyes and said pitifully, "So, I don't know much about this. I'm really sorry, Professor, I already know it's wrong, and I'll change it later. ”

"Merlin, poor boy." Professor McGonagall said sympathetically.

Then, after a moment of deep thought, she said, "It's not in order, but if you want, I can help you and Headmaster Dumbledore apply, and you can repeat it, starting in the third or fourth year." ”

“…… Magic is magical, but if you don't control it properly, you can also hurt yourself...... Although I'm a little older, it's still good to learn a little more and enhance my control......"

What Professor McGonagall was saying, Daniel couldn't even hear.

All he remembered was the phrase, 'You can reread it, starting in third or fourth grade'.

‘Whatthe**!’

In the eyes of the professor, my level is only at the level of the third and fourth grades? Still rereading? ’

Charles was smiling, his expression was still so gentle and friendly, and he had the demeanor of a division commander.

However, Daniel could clearly hear that the guy was in his head, gloating and laughing.

[It's not right to laugh at others.] ]

[What?] Am I laughing? You heard me? Oops, sorry, I forgot to disconnect the link......]

Daniel couldn't help himself, learning the tone of his own aptitude: [Get out of my head, Charles!] ]
