642. The President's Phone Call (5000 words)

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

In the newly built academy, the atmosphere became a little tense. After all, a mortal enemy is right in front of you. This is not an enemy that can be dealt with casually. So there is inevitably a heavy pressure on my heart.

And Li Kai, who had just finished training in the underground training room, came to the outside of the manor during the break, and then sat quietly by the lake and watched the busy crowd in the distance.

Mutants' abilities aren't all combat-type, either. For example, in the current academy, there are only a few people who can fight. The others are either young or have little to do with ability and combat.

Jean Grey came out of the manor and saw a large tree leaning against the lake. Holding the two cups of coffee in his hand, he walked in the direction of Li Kai.

"What's wrong with you? I have a feeling that you're in a slightly bad mood. Is something happening? ”

Handing the coffee in his hand to Li Kai, Jean Grey sat casually beside Li Kai. looked at Li Kai with a little worry in his eyes.

Raising his head and glancing at the other party, Li Kai stretched out his hand and took the coffee handed over by the other party.

After taking a sip, he looked at the other party with a smile on his face: "There is less sugar." It's a bit bitter. ”

"Is it missing?" Jean Grey asked, stunned.

"Isn't it a little bitter for you to taste?" Li Kai handed it over, and Jean Grey lowered her head and took a sip. Then he felt it carefully, tilting his head and looking at Li Kai.

"No, I don't feel bitter. The sweetness is moderate, just right. ”

Li Kai smiled and took the coffee back. Then he took another sip, and then the smile on his face became a little thicker: "En~ a little sweet." ”

Jean Grey looked at Li Kai incomprehensibly, the other party said bitter at first, and now it is sweet. Is it a bad sense of taste?

But then she looked at Li Kai staring at her lips, and she seemed to suddenly understand, and a blush instantly rose on her face.

"Scott, you ......"

Seeing that the other party was a little shy and had some sweetness, Li Kai stretched out his hand and hugged the other party, and the relationship between Jean Grey and Li Kai during this time has grown by leaps and bounds. It's normal to be close to each other like this.

"Scott, what the hell is wrong with you?" did not change the topic because of one or two of Li Kai's small means of pulling in the relationship between them. Jean Grey is still a little worried about Li Kai's state. So I asked with a little worry.

Looking at the sparkling lake, Li Kai pondered for a while and then said, "Qin, I want to think about whether to stay in the academy again." ”

"You're leaving?" As if there was a spring on Li Kai's shoulder, Jean Grey's head was instantly raised, and she looked at Li Kai with an unbelievable look in her eyes. He didn't know why Li Kai had such thoughts.

After all, life in the academy is still very good, isn't it? And the most important thing is that the relationship between the two people is about to be determined, at this time, Li Kai is leaving, is he going to terminate the relationship between the two people?

For a while, she couldn't help but start thinking crankily.

Turning his head sideways, Li Kai hugged the other party a little tighter, and then Li Kai said: "The reason why I came to the academy in the first place is because I plan to control my mutant ability so that I can live a normal life.

I don't have any big aspirations or ideals. I don't care what X-Men I am. I'm just a normal mutant. I wanted to live an ordinary life.

But now all of this is a bit of a counter-my choice. I became an X-Men. What I learn every day is not what I should be learning at this time.

What I need is the ability to exercise. What I need is to improve. I need to train hard for the future of mutants, the pressure that comes with the person who came here from the future world.

None of this was what I had imagined. So I'm a little tired. So I'm thinking about what are we doing all this for? Is it for the sake of peaceful coexistence with humans? Or is it for honor and something else?

The professor's ideal is great, the peaceful coexistence of humans and mutants who love each other. But as Magneto said, there can only be one race on Earth that has the final say, and it is impossible for mutants and humans to coexist with Magneto.

So is all this we are doing now in vain? I'm a little lost. ”

Hearing Li Kai's words, to be honest, Jean Grey was also a little confused.

She was brought here by the professor at a very young age. Then grow here, learn here.

But to be honest, she didn't really feel at home here. Everyone here isolates themselves and is terrified of themselves.

They always stare at themselves with strange eyes, as if they were a monster, as if they weren't supposed to be here.

She also had thoughts of leaving. But where can you go if you leave? She had nowhere to go, and it was just a bigger academy outside.

So she never left. So she lived very obediently under the guidance of Professor X. If you don't think about it, you won't have all kinds of troubles. Even if it's escapism. But you can still live after all, can't you?

"Whatever choice you make, don't abandon me. Would you like to take me with you? ”

Jean Grey suddenly leaned into Li Kai's arms and whispered. And Li Kai also nodded: "Of course, I will take you with me." ”

……

"Hello, may I ask yes

Xavier Gifted Junior Academy? ”

The phone in Professor X's office rang. Professor X, who had rushed over in a wheelchair, had just picked it up when he heard a woman's voice coming from inside.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

"Hello, you should be the professor of the academy."

"Yes."

"Hello, I'm the president's secretary. The president has something to discuss with you, when will you be able to come to the White House and talk to the president? ”

The voice on the phone was a gesture of kindness. Hearing that the president was planning to meet him, Professor X was slightly stunned. I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After all, this is likely to be the first step for him to have a peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans.

"I always have time."

"What do you think of nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow? ”

"Yes. It would be nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow. I'll get to the White House on time. ”

"Okay, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Professor X shouted excitedly, "Hank! Hank! Where are you? ”

Hank, who was working on the textbook, suddenly raised his head, and after hearing the voice of Professor X, he immediately put down the work he was busy with and ran out in the direction where the other party's voice came from.

He thought that Professor X had been attacked in some way or that he had been hurt by the rest. So for a while, they almost transformed.

But then he came to Professor X's office. He realized that he was overthinking. There were no surprises at all.

On the contrary, the other party's face was flushed, which was obviously in a state of excitement.

"I'm going~ It's spring coming? Is it a marriage talk with that CIA guy from Mora Maktagart? It's rare for such an expression to appear on the other person's face. It looks like a monkey's butt. ”

But immediately Hank threw such thoughts out of his mind. Professor X in front of him has the ability to telepathize. It's okay to read minds, and if you hear yourself burying the other party like this in your mind, then you'll be miserable.

"Professor, what's the matter? What's going on that you're so excited about? ”

This is enough time for Professor X to calm down. But even so, there was still excitement in his eyes.

"You can't imagine who just called."

"Who is it? Mora? Could it be that she is planning to marry you? Hank didn't think much about it and blurted it out.

As soon as this sentence was uttered, he and Professor X were stunned.

Hank was stunned because he didn't expect to actually say it. And Professor X was stunned because if this thing in Hank's mouth could be realized, he would probably be more excited than the president's phone call.

The idea that it wasn't enough was immediately thrown out of his mind. Because he knows it's impossible. Although the other party's memory was restored to her. But casually sealing the other party's memory is something that a strong woman like the other party can't forgive. The relationship between two people can be confidants, but don't think about it much if it's more intimate.

And it was he who caused all this, so because of Hank's words, the good mood just now was destroyed in an instant.

Staring at Hank with uncertain eyes, Professor X spoke, "It's the President, and His Excellency the President wants to see me." Presumably to discuss the matter of mutants. ”

"What?"

Hank's heart moved when he heard this. After all, although the state no longer deliberately targets mutants because of the incident of secret research on weapons in the first place.

But privately, the action never stopped. Think of everything in that secret base of the military. He was able to understand that the authorities had not given up on the idea of getting rid of the mutants.

So at this time, the president didn't come to Professor X to make an example. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Hank, what's that look on your face?"

Professor X will not read the thoughts in other people's minds without permission. Especially their own people. The psychological barrier brought about by such an approach cannot be eliminated for a while.

So at this time, Professor X really didn't know what Hank was thinking. And Hank also knows some of the rules that Professor X has customized for himself. So he frowned and said his worries.

And hearing Hank say this, the mood that had calmed down because of Mora's incident became even colder.

Even looking at Hank with a look in his eyes couldn't help but become a little strange. When did the other party learn to pour cold water? And it's poured so well. A basin of cold water with ice ballast came down, let alone calmed down. Even my brain is going to freeze.

But what Hank said is not unreasonable, once he successfully dealt with himself. Then Xavier's Academy for Gifted Teenagers is really finished. With the help of the Shapeshifter and the other X-Men who had just trained, it was impossible to protect her.

"Don't be careful, Hank, go down and get some preparations. But remember, be secretive. Otherwise, if this is not the case, it will cause misunderstanding. ”

Hank nodded, he understood the priorities, so he turned around and went out to prepare. And Professor X also calmly began to think about what to do if such a thing happened.

The next day, Li Kai and others, who were planning to train, received a notice saying that the training in the past few days would be suspended first.

I didn't tell him why

A few of us. This is also normal, after all, they are not qualified X-Men at this time. It's just students. So it's normal not to say something.

Now that the training is gone, everyone is free to move.

Li Kai and Jean Grey went to a corner of the manor in full view of everyone.

And Quicksilver and Kurt also went to the basketball court to play a game of superpower basketball. The only thing left to be Storm thought about it for a while, and felt that it was still necessary to enrich his knowledge, so he took a snack and prepared to read a book.

For a while, there was really no one to spare.

Quicksilver and Kurt, who had just arrived at the basketball court, had not had time to gather their friends to start the game when they saw the basketball court split into two halves from the gap in the middle, and then the fighter jet flew into the sky and disappeared from sight in a blink of an eye.

"Hmm~ Professor, they aren't planning to travel, are they?" Quicksilver couldn't help but pout when he saw this scene.

"What is tourism?" Although Kurt has made up a lot of common sense during this time, he still does not have enough understanding of the meaning of some words.

Of course, you can't blame the other party. After all, when he grows so big, the other party never dares to contact the society he recognizes, so it's not his fault that he doesn't understand human society very well.

Quicksilver glanced at Kurt and didn't laugh at the other party because he didn't have common sense. So after looking at the other party, he said: "If you can win me in today's basketball game, then I can give you half a day to answer all your doubts during this time, how about it?" Agreed? ”

"Words count."

"It's a deal."

Then the blue mist and invisible figures of the entire basketball court kept rising.

It's really superpower basketball. The competition between space movement and fast movement is really difficult to solve, and it is impossible to tell who is born and who is defeated for a while.

And the friends who watched the basketball game on the basketball court from a distance were stunned at this time, not so much. It's just a basketball game. It doesn't have to be like that.

And the friends who watched the basketball game on the basketball court from a distance were stunned at this time, not so much. It's just a basketball game. It doesn't have to be like that.
