Chapter 289: Role-playing, implicit words
After about twenty minutes of meeting and chatting, Luke had a deeper understanding of the little Charles in front of him.
His conversation and demeanor are trying his best to imitate adults.
With that stern tone, as well as meticulous hair, bow tie and suit.
Involuntarily, it reminds Luke of "Little Sheldon" - an annoying spirit with a heavy cleanliness fetish and an equally intelligent mind.
The young Charles highly overlaps with each other in terms of image.
"Mr. Headmaster, the main reason why I want to be a part of this academy is that I need to find some companions and respect for you."
Hearing Luke ask why he signed up for school, Charles replied earnestly, "I found myself different when I was eight years old. ”
"It was one night, and I was a little scared because of the stage play 'Zorro' that I saw that night."
"Those dark shadows, bat-like monsters, scared me."
The corners of Luke's mouth twitched, this plot seems familiar.
In the universe next door with a dark painting style, every time I mention "Zorro", watch the performance.
There will be a dark alley, a gunman, a collapsing pearl necklace, and ...... An orphan who lost both of his parents.
This classic drama has to be repeated several times almost every once in a while.
If Erskine influenced Steve Rogers' life, that cave in the Middle East changed Tony Stark.
That, the alley in Gotham is probably Batman's nightmare for the rest of his life.
"I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so I pushed the bedroom door and stood in the hallway."
"Then I heard my parents arguing – it was a strange feeling, and I could hear their conversation very clearly, even though it was through a wall and a thick door."
"It's not just a conversation! And the complaining words that they held in their hearts and did not say. ”
"I'm like an out-of-control radio, receiving everything from the outside world."
"Those chaotic voices, dark or terrible thoughts, filled my head."
"After that, I had a high fever for two days."
Charles's little face showed a bit of memory.
His natural ability awakened and appeared silently.
"You didn't tell anyone else?"
Luke crossed his hands and propped his chin on.
His tone was normal, but sometimes he gasped unconsciously, as if he was enduring something.
Charles, who was a keen observer, discovered this.
But he didn't take it to heart, and continued: "No, Mr. Headmaster. ”
"It's my secret alone. I don't dare say to anyone that I'm afraid I'll be sent to the hospital or undergo some horrible treatment. ”
In Charles's eyes, a trace of fear could not help but appear.
Although he is much more mature than his peers, he is still only a child after all.
In the face of sudden accidents and an unpredictable future, you can still feel scared.
So, he chose to hide it.
"You're doing the right thing, Charles."
Luke nodded in agreement.
The face that was covered with both hands twitched slightly.
His expression also became strange, as if he was suffering from some kind of stimulation.
He underestimated the White Queen a little, and the flexible tongue that the other party could tie the cherry stem into a knot was not something that ordinary people could bear.
's own joystick is like the pottery touched by the heroine in the movie "Ghost Love".
Slippery but not slippery, high-speed friction, fancy rotation......
If it weren't for Luke's great perseverance, he would not have been able to endure such extreme "torture" a long time ago.
"I used to think that I was the only one in the world who was so different, able to listen to other people's voices and read other people's minds."
Charles said with some emotion, not paying attention to Mr. Principal, who was not quite right, and turned his head to look at his sister who was in a daze and wandering in the world.
"Luckily, I met Raven and I realized that I am not unique and have compatriots like me."
"Since then, I've been paying special attention to the news of mutants."
"It wasn't until I heard your speech, Mr. Chancellor, that I was moved by your explanation of freedom, equality, and human rights."
Charles's little face was full of sincerity, and his eyes sparkled with light, an emotion called "worship."
"So you bravely confessed your mutant identity to your parents, and became the first student of the academy...... You're a good boy, Charles. ”
Luke was silent for a few seconds, leaned forward, and smiled, "You are very talented, you are also very capable, and you will have a bright future." ”
"However, before you can tap into your potential, you first have to face yourself and accept yourself."
"Charles, you don't have to be nervous about who you are and worry about being looked at by other people."
"Mutant talent isn't some terrible curse, painful illness — at least not for you."
"It's the wings that let people get out of the ordinary and fly up to the clouds, and it's also the key that opens the door to evolution, allowing you to see the world from a different perspective."
Luke opened his mouth to be steaming chicken soup for the soul, completely substituting into the role of "life coach".
"But, Mr. Headmaster, humans are afraid of things they don't know enough."
Charles was a little hesitant, he had been hiding his natural abilities before, for fear of being discovered by others.
"If we stand in front of the stage and appear in the public eye, will it arouse their vigilance and disgust, and then lead to violent conflicts?"
I have to say that Charles is indeed a precocious child.
At his age, he can think of racial disputes and existential conflicts through the two camps of humans and mutants, and he has surpassed his peers a lot.
"Now it's a conservative, a moderate."
Luke smiled slightly, leaned forward, and leaned back slightly.
The tense face also relaxed slightly.
Hide your ability to live in harmony with humanity and avoid violent conflicts......
These are the guiding principles of the bald professor.
But he doesn't quite agree.
"You can't just see the bad, Charles. We must learn to look at problems dialectically, living space, and racial disputes, which are all internal contradictions. ”
"If you want to resolve it, you have to divert your attention through external contradictions."
"Maybe in a few decades, we'll be more than just land, sea and sky."
Luke said meaningfully, every time a big event happens, it is at least a cosmic crisis.
Earth is a special planet, it is the origin of the ancient gods, and it is also secretly coveted by the dimensional demon gods.
Every cosmic upheaval must start with it, or eventually affect it.
Luke is not a passive person, he likes to be proactive.
Sooner or later, human beings will have to go out, and when the time comes, problems such as living space and racial disputes will gradually disappear and become a footnote to history.
At that time, the countries and people on this planet will need to face the three major empires of the galaxy, the Elders of the Universe, and Thanos......
They will soon understand their own insignificance, and they will know that internal friction is meaningless.
"I see, Mr. Headmaster."
Charles seemed to suddenly realize, and nodded heavily.
All internal contradictions can be transferred through external contradictions.
Compared to the ill-intentioned alien race, mutants are insignificant.
But where are the aliens?
"The future will give you the answer."
Faced with Charles's doubts, Luke smiled mysteriously.
However, immediately after that, his smile froze.
The strong suction force like a water pump almost envelops the soul of a person.
"Nothing else, you can go out."
Luke articulates clearly and speaks slowly.
Charles left the office with his sister, and before closing the door, he glanced at Mr. Headmaster, who was holding his hands on the wide table.
"Raven, do you feel ...... Mr. Principal, his expression seems painful? ”
Looking back on the conversation, Charles felt like Superman was suppressing some emotion.
He is a psychic and has a keen intuition in this regard.
"I'm hungry, Charles."
Ruiwen looked ignorant, clutching her stomach and said.
She didn't pay attention to those details at all, just thinking about being able to eat a dessert earlier.
"Well, maybe I read it wrong."
Charles took his sister's hand and walked towards the restaurant.
And in the principal's office, the White Queen, who was not present, wiped the corners of her mouth and glanced at Luke, slightly proud.
"Is this your first time?"
There was a certain competitive mood in her question.
"I tried it with Marlena, but it was in a fancy restaurant."
Luke replied frankly.
"Hmph. Then next time we'll go to a fancy restaurant! ”
The White Queen held her head high.
Although she doesn't have any jealousy thoughts, she has a strong sense of victory and defeat in this regard.
"Do you know it's going to cheapen me?"
Luke loosened his tie, he had wanted to come to a serious meeting.
But the White Queen was the principal at the beginning, and the excitement of having a career was a little difficult to calm.
"I can also be a little cheaper for you, for the sake of exam results, I have to succumb to the schoolmaster's female students...... What do you think? ”
The White Queen spun around, tousing her blonde hair, making herself more like a poor schoolgirl than a headmistress with a powerful aura.
"Or, the haughty headmistress, and the strong security guard."
Luke cleared his throat, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of water.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he did have some pretentiousness.
Role-playing is a game that everyone loves.
There is no [Begonia Book House] on men and women.
"Isn't it a little too early at this point in time?"
Luke pretended to be a decent person.
The White Queen is pressing forward step by step, and she likes to see Superman's gaffe.
"Principal Cavill, if you can give me an A in the final exam...... I can give a lot! ”
The blonde beauty blinked her eyes and put her hands behind her back with an innocent expression on her face.
Hiss!
It's so fast to get into the play.
Luke sighed.
He decided to go along with the other party's performance.
It's not that you can't hold on and give in to temptation.
I just want to simply play role-playing games and do a good job as a principal.
Luke thinks that his understanding of this profession is superficial and superficial.
The meaning needs to be explored more deeply and thoroughly.
