Chapter 2 Charles's School for Gifted Teens
Staten Island, New York, Xavier School for Gifted Teens, Principal's Office. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Charles, Principal of Xavier School for Gifted Teens. Francis. Xavier, that is, Dr. X in Zhou Yi's memory, warmly received Zhou Yi's family after learning about Zhou Yi's family's intention.
For this mutant spiritual leader who dedicates his life to the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans, Zhou Yi's psychology is admiration and respect.
Professor Charles's psychic power is known to the whole world, and this strength is not only a term of willpower, but also a description of his incomparably powerful psychic ability. The fact that a person can manipulate life and death with just one look and one thought is no joke.
And more simply, reading people's memories and manipulating people's spirits, these miraculous abilities are as simple as eating and drinking for Professor Charles.
Therefore, people like Zhou Yi who have secrets in their hearts generally maintain the idea that Professor Charles will not meet if they can. Although he has a certain confidence in Charles's character and his innate ability, Zhou Yi is unwilling to take this risk unless it is absolutely necessary.
Perhaps seeing Zhou Yi's mental instability, Professor Charles smiled slightly, and a strong affinity suddenly came to his face. He said with a hint of jokingness.
"It seems that Mr. Zhou is very scared of me, but don't worry, I'm not a dean or anything like that."
"You're laughing!" Zhou Yi pulled the corners of his mouth very easily, "I think everyone who knows your name will not be very easy when facing you." ā
"Mr. Zhou, what you said are those who target us mutants, and as a friend who can treat us equally, I think your worries are unnecessary." Professor Charles pushed the wheelchair, slowly moved to the front of Zhou Yi's family, and said to Zhou Lan.
"Ms. Zhou Lan, please rest assured. We at Xavier School for Gifted Teens are committed to the dream of harmony between all mutants and humans, and since your daughter has become one of our mutants, we will naturally do our best to teach her and integrate into this world. ā
Zhou Lan hugged the silent and cowering Xia Ruisi with some sadness, kissed her forehead lightly and said, "Professor, I have confidence in you, my poor Xia Ruisi, don't worry, you will have many new friends here, and your mother and brother will often come to see you." ā
Xia Ruisi still didn't speak, but silently tightened Zhou Yi's clothes.
At this time, Professor Charles, who was waiting on the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Ms. Zhou, I think there are some things I want to talk to you about. This matter has something to do with your son, Mr. Zhou Yi! ā
"Yi, what's wrong with him?" Zhou Lan, who had been a little mentally weakened by a sudden family accident, couldn't help but raise her voice a little. Her heart was scared now, because she seemed to have guessed something.
"About mutants, I don't know if you know anything about Ms. Zhou Lan?" Professor Charles did not respond positively to Zhou Lan's question, but picked up the teacup and explained slowly. "Mutants, in fact, are technically a species that evolved from humans. Mutants don't have any other changes at the genetic level compared to humans, the only change is that all mutants have one more genome than humans, and that genome is named the X gene. ā
"Because of the X gene, mutants were able to break away from the human group. It is also because of the X gene that mutants will be stronger, smarter, and more magical than humans. But it's not that only mutants who show ability will have the X gene, in fact, according to our research, the X gene is present in the genetic sequence of a considerable number of people, but in the genome of these people some of them are dominant, so that these humans already have mature abilities and mutation characteristics, such as your daughter, Miss Ferguson. ā
"And there are some people who show recessive characteristics in their X genes, which leads to their abilities and X gene traits, although they have not yet awakened, but they are also very different from ordinary humans. And your son, Mr. Zhou Yi, is likely to be a potential mutant who has no physical difference from normal people. ā
Speaking of which, the two women present had already focused their attention on Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi was silent for a moment, looked at Dr. Charles, and said, "How did you find out that I have superpowers?" ā
Hearing this, Zhou Lan involuntarily covered her mouth, and her eyes were already flustered. Apparently, what is happening now is completely beyond her imagination.
Zhou Yi, who was about the same height as Zhou Lan, pressed her shoulder and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mom." I've been hiding this from you for so long, but you have to know that I have a hard time. ā
Professor Charles followed suit and said, "Yes." Ms. Zhou, every person with extraordinary abilities who wants to maintain a normal life must tell some white lies. I've seen so many tragedies, and believe me, you're already a lucky man. ā
Hearing these words, Zhou Lan's expression was a little dazed, and then slowly fell asleep on the chair.
In fact, in the persuasion just now, Professor Charles used his ability, but it made Zhou Yi feel invisible mental fluctuations. It's just that in this matter, he felt that Professor Charles had done the right thing at the right time, so he didn't stop him.
He just looked at Professor Charles with a warning look and said, "I don't want this to happen a second time, either to my mother or to Charis!" ā
As he spoke, the invisible ripples spread, as if a 10,000-pound hammer had been slammed down in the void, and the carpet around Professor Charles seemed to have been hit by an invisible force, and it was visibly crushed into gravel-sized particles and piled up on the floor. Obviously, this magical power is precisely manipulated so that it only acts on a specific part. Instead of suffering with the floor.
However, Zhou Yi's movement was still a little bigger, and at the moment when Zhou Yi demonstrated, two people pushed open the door and rushed in. One of the red-haired beauties stretched out her hand directly at Zhou Yi, and suddenly the invisible force acted on Zhou Yi's body, as if a giant hand was holding him up vigorously.
This is a magical telekinetic power, a superpower generated by the physical kinetic energy of the embodiment of a powerful spiritual force. And this kind of power, Zhou Yi also has.
There seemed to be a golden fire burning in his eyes, and a thought poured out of Zhou Yi's mind and suddenly turned into a powerful physical force, like a wall, which forcibly neutralized the red-haired beauty's telekinetic hand, and forcibly pushed the two people who rushed in to the wall, controlling all their movements.
"Please stop, Mr. Zhou Yi, Scott and Qin have no ill intentions." Professor Charles's voice came, not from the ear, but from the heart. His voice was as flat as before, as if he didn't care about everything Zhou Yi did at all. But invisibly already shows his strength and status as one of the most powerful mutants in the world.
Zhou Yi had to admit that this old man in a wheelchair was an awe-inspiring existence.
The power of thought dissipated, and the two of them broke away from Zhou Yi's control. Scott, the man with strange eyes, and Jean the red-haired beauty also seemed to have received Professor Charles's psychic communication, and did not make any superfluous movements, just silently walked behind Professor Charles, guarding his left and right.
However, from the looks of the two of them, it can be completely seen how unhappy the two of them are in their hearts. Of course, Zhou Yi doesn't care about this at all. This is the rule of mutants and even the whole superpower world, my power is greater than yours, I can ignore you.
Professor Charles didn't care about the emotions between the three people, but simply introduced it.
"Scott, and Jean. Grey. They were all former students of mine, and now they are teachers in the academy, and your sister will be taught by them in the future. ā
"Scott, please take Miss Ferguson to familiarize yourself with the academy, Mr. Zhou Yi and I still have some things to discuss."
The strange man with glasses standing behind Professor Charles nodded, first walked up to Zhou Yi and glared at him condescendingly, of course, this glance was very likely that Zhou Yi could not see it. Then he walked up to Chariss and said in a rather gentle tone.
"Please follow me, Miss Ferguson. Starting today, Xavier School for Gifted and Talented Teens will be your second home. ā
Zhou Yi also patted Xia Ruisi's head at this time and said, "Go, Xia Ruisi." It's just a new school and a new environment, and my mom and I will pick you up on the weekends. ā
Since seeing Zhou Yi's superpowers, although Xia Ruisi was still a little cringe, it was obvious that her expression had improved, she just glanced at Zhou Yi a little strangely, and muttered, "Okay, I'll listen to you this time." But well, you're going to pick me up on the weekend, don't be like before, there are always accidents! ā
Zhou Yi rubbed her head amusedly, squinted and said, "Don't worry, little guy." I'll bring you a gift then. ā
Charis stopped saying a word, and followed Scott out of the office. And it wasn't until the office door was closed that Professor Charles smiled and said to Zhou Yi, who turned his head.
"You can see that you have a great family, and you love your family."
Zhou Yi smiled at Professor Charles and the piano behind him. "I think it's a matter of course, don't I?" ā
When Professor Charles heard this, he sighed. Turning to the window, he said as he looked out the window at the groups of mutant students passing by.
"I've seen too many mutant identities that are separated by the feelings of family members, breaking and even destroying families. And too many mutants have gone astray because of all this. ā
Zhou Yi listened to Professor Charles's emotion, but was silent. The topic is too deep, mutants are not just mutations in ability, a large part of them are physical mutations. Turning from a human being into a monster is a huge blow to the family, society, and one's own psychology. With no one to tutor, it's entirely possible that these mutants' distorted worldview will push them to do all sorts of crazy things.
And will the human world allow this kind of thing to happen, the answer is obvious. In this case, the living space of mutants can only be infinitely compressed, and what will happen in the end, Zhou Yi does not dare to assert. The only thing he was sure of was that there were bound to be countless tragedies.
And Professor Charles, this powerful mutant. There is no doubt that he plays the role of a saint here, he is using his life's energy to expand the new living space for mutants, although it is a drop in the bucket, but it is certain that he has been doing it, and leading more people forward on this path. This is a man of great personality and high morals, Zhou Yi has no doubt about this.
