17. Suggestions and Invitations

Cyber wasn't surprised by the news that Catherine was a more powerful alpha-class mutant.

He was experienced enough in combat, and as early as when Catherine first showed her abilities, he knew that this child must have a great future, even at her current age, there is not much in the world that can stop her.

And going through all the obstacles doesn't sound so windy, but what if the little girl is crossing someone's body?

Or more directly, can she use her ability to take something out of someone else's body... She can do this, of course, Catherine would not do such a cruel thing, otherwise let alone the fat Jon, even if the whole Narrow Island bastards are together, they will not hurt this girl in the slightest.

But if she had grown up with Cyber, no one knew what would have become of Catherine in the future.

A hearty lunch was served in the cafeteria, and Cyber noticed that most of the children in the college, ranging from 5 or 6 years old to teens, except for a few adult teachers, looked like a noisy summer camp, and Catherine had a good time with a few of the girls who were the same age, and Seber felt a little out of place when he sat in it.

May had already left, she needed to return to the Delta Wing to report to her work, and after Seber met Professor Charles, her guiding duties were completed, and before leaving, she said a friendly goodbye to Cyber and unexpectedly gave Cyber a hug.

This is probably the last time the two of them will see each other in the near future, as a level 7 agent, May can't have too much leisure time, and Cyber will leave New York soon, the next time they meet, I don't know when it will be, but it feels very good to have a good friend in New York, after sharing hardship, he believes that he and May have become friends.

"Cyber, what do you think of the environment in this academy?"

Sitting in Professor Charles's office, Cyber leaned back in his chair, feeling the sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling window next to him, not warm, but always feeling comfortable in it, this is probably the instinctive pursuit of light by man, the well-fed Cyber is like a lazy big cat, he puts his hands on the armrests, squints, and looks as if he has fallen asleep.

But in the face of Professor X's question, who was also staying in the sun while reading a book, and asked questions, Cyber pondered for a moment and replied lazily,

"It's good, it's like a paradise, and while I haven't seen too many mutants, I think the kids who live here will probably be happy, but frankly, it's not for me, Professor... I've seen someone who calls herself Raven the Shapeshifter, who took the form of Mei and led me into their trap, and I wonder what kind of status she holds in the Mutant Brotherhood?"

When he heard this familiar name, Professor Charles stopped flipping through the book, he reached out and took off the glasses on his face, and placed them on the table with the book, he closed his eyes, leaned back in his wheelchair, like an ordinary old man, deep in memory, and his whole body exuded a smell of the past.

After a long time, he replied in a low voice,

"Raven... It was someone from the same era as me and Eric, this castle, this was also her home, we used to tidy up here, we lived here, we spent our teenage years together, it was a good memory, but in the end, she was on Eric's side, I don't know if it was love, but at least I know that Raven is not bad in nature, she just went down a different path than me. ”

Cyber opened his mouth to say something, but eventually shut up, and from Professor Charles's words, he could sense that there should be some untold story between the professor and Raven, and the strengthened instinct told him that it was best not to ask about it.

After a few seconds, the professor seemed to be out of that precipitation, and he sighed and answered Seber's question head-on.

"The Mutant Brotherhood is an organization founded by Eric and his original followers, I won't judge whether his code of conduct is good or bad, I can only say that Eric is the same as me, the purpose is to find a new future for mutants, and Raven is his right-hand man, Raven is very smart, she is good at fighting and using firearms, of course, her strongest thing is her disguise ability, as long as she has come into contact with someone, she can perfectly disguise him or her. ”

"Raven is a natural spy, she's not good at frontal combat, but she's definitely the most important member of the mutant brotherhood, and Eric's brains, Cyber... Forget about the unpleasantness between you, even for my sake. ”

When the professor said this, Cyber's eyes immediately opened, but he finally sighed,

"Okay, okay, who made you my savior, but there's one thing I've always been puzzled about, Professor, and I want you to help me. ”

Professor Charles's wheelchair turned automatically, the professor put his hands on his lap, he waved, a cup of coffee floated up from the table, and then fell steadily into his hands, this old man with great strength, but like an ordinary person, took a sip of hot coffee contentedly,

"Say, if I could tell you, I would tell you. ”

Cyber straightened up, he sat in his chair, looking at Professor Charles, this professor had an old-fashioned atmosphere, as if it was like this old building, melted into time, he may have been tired of such an unchanging world, but now, he is still persistently moving forward for a great goal.

This is a man to be admired, and the smell of true penance in him alone is enough to be admired.

"Professor, I don't understand, I'm such a person... How could it be worth the Brotherhood's fight, I mean, before I awakened my true power, I was just an insignificant Epsilon mutant, why did the Demon, the head of the Brotherhood, personally lead me into a trap, and she also said that it was a test, and it seemed that a lot of people were paying attention to me, why is that?"

Cyber's eyes shone with an inexplicable brilliance, "After seeing the fighting power of the saber-toothed tiger Victor, I don't think the Brotherhood will lack someone like me. ”

"Haha"

When the professor heard this, he immediately laughed, as if Cyber had said something stupid, and he put down the glass of water in his hand.

"It seems that you really don't know enough about mutant society, so I'll tell you about it, Cyber. ”

"Listen up. ”

As he sat upright, he heard Professor Charles's voice ringing in his ears,

"You might think that mutants are some very powerful guys, but no, Cyber, we divide mutants into five levels, namely Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Ipsilon, which represent the first to fifth letters of the Greek language, which is the rating of strength, of course, there are many other factors that affect the rating, but only combat power can explain your doubts. ”

The professor's brow moved, and he asked Cyber a question,

"Eric, I, and the Auroro and Jean you've seen are all alpha-class mutants, and that little girl next to you, but do you know how many powerful mutants are marked as alpha-class?"

He stretched out a palm and shook it in front of Cyber's eyes,

"5%, less than 5% of mutants are qualified to become alpha-level, even if you add beta-level, only 15%, at least one-third of them can't grow smoothly, maybe you think this number is a lot, but Cyber, I can tell you for sure that in this world, there are still alpha-level mutants, there will be no more than 2,000! And most of them are hidden and carefully living in the human world. ”

"And then there's the second question, do you know how many of the weakest mutants are marked as Epsilon? More than 60%, the vast majority of mutants in this world are not as strong as you think, they are not much different from ordinary people, and most of them become unacceptable to ordinary people because of their inability to control their abilities, resulting in their lives being very difficult. ”

The professor breathed a sigh of relief, his face shining with compassion,

"Victor the Saber-Toothed Tiger is part of the highest echelons of mutant society, how many Victors are there in this world? And your question is a little wrong, as far as I know, Victor is not a diehard of the Brotherhood, he may have come to New York for something else, and Eric's reason for following you is simple, because of the destructive power... Although you were only Ipsilon-level at the beginning, your destructive power is even comparable to that of a beta-class mutant... You can't hide what you do in Gotham. ”

"What's more, your mutant status, Eric is a racist, your bloodline is destined for him to believe in you, in the case that most of the Ipsilon-level mutants are weak, you naturally stand out from the crowd, so it's normal for him to woo you, who would dislike the weak combat power under his command? As for that trap, it might just be a trick on Raven's side. ”

No one broke the silence in the quiet office, and after a few minutes, Cyber nodded, and he accepted it.

With a smile in the Professor's eyes, he looked at Cyber,

"You're done with your questions, so allow me to ask a few questions, Cyber, and I hope you'll answer me seriously. ”

"Hmm"

Cyber shrugged his shoulders with a sincere smile, "If that's all you can know, then I'll tell you all." ”

The exact same words made the professor laugh a little, he felt that the Cyber in front of him was like a child, there was not much pressure to stay with him, this was a guy who was very good at adjusting the atmosphere, so he coughed lightly and asked,

"Tell me, then, Seber, who do you prefer for Eric and my philosophy, would you rather fight for everything you have with weapons and radical means, or even replace them, or would you rather live in peace with ordinary people?"

Cyber thought for a moment, and after a few seconds, he stood up and straightened his clothes,

"I'm neutral... Professor, I'm not trying to fool you or joking, if you're familiar with my story, you know that I don't hate anyone when there's no conflict of interest, but if someone wants to take my bread and cheese, I'll cut off their hands mercilessly. ”

Professor Charles didn't seem surprised by this answer, and he spread his hands regretfully,

"I'm sorry, I was trying to persuade you to join the Academy. ”

Cyber also laughed, and he bowed solemnly to Professor Charles,

"Thank you for saving your life, Professor, but unfortunately, I really don't belong here, and I don't really mind teaching here if you can put up with your disciples all turning into old smokers and violent people, but right now, I have other things to do, and although I don't know what I'm going to do, I know that my future is not here. ”

"Still, if you need to..."

Cyber placed a note with his phone number in front of Professor Charles with both hands, his eyes serious and stubborn, "I'm here to help if you need it!" ”

Charles looked at the clear-eyed yellow man in front of him, he sighed, reached out and put the note in his page, he looked up and looked at Cyber,

"I've got a piece of advice for you, Cyber, since your abilities have never been seen before, so if I were you, I wouldn't be trying to advance it lightly, you know... Sometimes, strength comes at a price. ”

The old gentleman reached out and patted his leg, then looked at Cyber, the meaning was self-evident, Cyber was stunned for a moment, and then nodded cautiously.

"I know, thank you. ”

"Alright, you're out of business, now let's talk about Catherine. ”
