There were no major events on this day, no sensational news, and Jameson, the owner of Clarion Daily, who was accustomed to discrediting others, hesitated after pulling Eddy's report, and finally gave him a piece of space, which unexpectedly caused a lot of repercussions. ＝＝＝＝

This time, Fantastic Four was unfortunate enough to be the one to be the foil.

Because of Reed and Ben's selfishness, the director Zì Doom managed to escape, so the media, which was still hyping up the day before, suddenly took a sharp turn and turned to criticize them, except for Susan, who was not wrong, the remaining three were all pulled under a magnifying glass for careful scrutiny, and then their past deeds were criticized one by one. What a rough and irascible person, Johnny spends his days in bars and race tracks, even Reed has not escaped being called a hypocrite, who asked him to promise the police that he would return Doom after being incapacitated, and now everyone has confirmed their suspicions, he must have let his classmates go.

When the media said these words, they would not remember who had brought Doom into custody, nor would they remember their efforts and sacrifices, but despite the reporter's unreasonableness, the heroes had no choice but to swallow this bitter fruit themselves.

The popularity of the Fantastic Four has subsided, and the press has not been able to find a new object of hype for a while, so the value of mutants has been re-emerged, and compared to those who have mistaken things, people suddenly feel that this branch of humanity has become intimate, they are not the same as those legendary cold and noble guys, but they are no different from the girl next door or the boy next door, they are also afraid of schoolwork, like to live lightly, and are caring, and can play with orphans.

Now that Erick's words are recalled, many sociologists have expressed their opinions, and they generally agree that their actions have positive implications.

"Mr. Eric is right." Christina, a scholar who once defended mutants. The Medici very much agreed with him. "Of course crime is bad, and no normal person would like it, and usually you can only pray that you don't encounter it, but you can't make the world crime-free. But with crime rates on the rise, it's possible for each of us to encounter something we don't want to do. This is illustrated by the current prison tolerance phenomenon, which can only make our cities friendlier by weakening the criminals at the source, and that visiting orphans is more meaningful than showing strength. ”

Another person who echoed her, I'm sure everyone is familiar with it, is the radical banker Allen. Rothschild, who had now changed his position, turned his tune and lashed out at the others: "Show off! Those crime-fighting behaviors are really show-offs, they think they are above us, so they just want to say that they are different from us. I would like to point out Stone Man and Spider-Man, the two people who are the cancer of the city, who think they have fought crime. In fact, it is to drive the villains from one place to another, where crime decreases, where crime increases, and there is a habit of destroying private property, where their savings have no value, and the police should find a way to arrest them. ”

Although the public opinion has always been known for its characteristics of wall-to-wall grass, there are still some internal reasons for this. Ordinary people don't see the role of financiers behind the scenes. I don't know what the heroes are thinking, they just follow the guidance of those who have a heart, and focus on Reed's mistakes, so after some publicity. He became a historical sinner, and mutants returned to the public eye, and more in line with mainstream values.

These expressions fell into Eric's eyes, and he took the opportunity to educate the students. After this vivid performance, I believe they will no longer suffer for the sake of media coverage.

In these denunciations, Susan defended her friends. But he only left himself a good name, but he failed to restore the prestige of the group.

Spider-Man was also unfortunately shot, and was often dragged to compare himself with those guys who fell into the frieze, and he was so disheartened that he even went out to do less.

As for Harry, he was not idle, he continued to build momentum for Osborne Industries, sometimes throwing out some acquisition plans, sometimes breaking a few financing news, but as people regained their senses, his immature methods became more and more rusty, and the stock price began to fall again in the last two days, and among the top 50 arms companies in the industry, Osborne became the only stock that went against the market, and he was pushed to the forefront again for a while.

These things are all related to Eric, but he doesn't care, and now he only focuses on John, who he values the most.

John has been practicing hard for many days in a row, and even the last time his tutor allowed his classmates to rest, he never relaxed himself, and worked harder than when he wanted to catch Babi in the past.

Eric didn't know what had stimulated him, but he couldn't go on like this, and he was determined to talk to John.

Walking into the dimly lit training room, the students all went back to rest. The small space that stood was emitting a faint red light in the darkness, and the boy was still struggling to find a better way to control it, completely ignoring whether his body could bear it. Sweat flowed out and dried, and soon after, and in this repetition the salt settled on his training coat, forming a thin layer of crystals that reflected in the light of the fire.

"A month ago, you were five feet seven inches tall and weighed one hundred and forty-one pounds, but now your height has not changed, and your weight is only one hundred and thirty-two pounds." Eric's voice rang out in the doorway, interrupting John's attention. "Can you tell me why I'm so desperate all of a sudden, I don't think we've yet encountered a mountain higher than Mount McKinley."

John gasped for breath, scattered the violent orb of fire elementals, and then sat on the ground, unable to stand up again.

Eric bent down and pinched his shoulders, which had muscle and fat layers, but now felt dry to the touch, a bit of a bony frame.

"You're a fire man, that's not bad John, but keep in mind that until now you are not out of the human category, and when you lose 6% of your water you will be thirsty, burn, and any more you will hallucinate, faint and even die. Who are you trying so hard to deal with, Logan and Johnny? Still trying to beat me. Eric's tone was more harsh than ever, he had never been the same with John, a sensitive boy at heart, and too much criticism and harsh criticism would not improve him, but would make him rebellious.

That's the case with Logan and Scott, who can never fathom the hearts of their students.

But now that John hung his head, he didn't explain to his most beloved mentor, he just looked at the floor silently. After a long period of baking, the heat there has not yet dissipated, and beads of sweat fall on it, and the heat rises again and again.

"I can go on." It was a few more moments before he replied, some hoarse voices echoing through the small space.

"Rome wasn't built in a day, what you need now is rest." Eric beckoned the door open, and the light from the hallway outside streamed through the cracks, causing John's eyes to shrink sharply. "Even if you give you nine women, you don't want to give birth to a child in a month. Things have their own rules, and when I need to face pressure, that's my responsibility. ”

"Like Magneto?" John asked hummingly, and Eric suddenly understood.

That time the professor called to tell him the news that another Eric had been released from prison, and in order to avoid affecting the students when the two of them fought each other, he found an excuse to send the young man back to the academy, and it seems that this excuse still failed to hide John, and was seen through.

It's right to think about it, since then. John started training and never stopped.

Was he ashamed that he couldn't help his mentor?

Eric didn't pull him anymore, he sat down and chatted with the young man on the blazing floor.

"Remember what I told you about the outside world?" Eric asked.

John nodded. That time, the tutor suddenly opened the curtain in front of him, told him that the world was there, and looked in the direction that the tutor pointed out to him, and his gaze crossed the woods on campus. Beyond the high walls and clear blue skies, all the way to the edge of the universe that he himself could not comprehend.

At that moment, he felt like he really saw the whole world.

But after he came out, he appeared, and it turned out that he was still small. There are still stronger people and forces in the world, and even the teachers who think they are omnipotent have to use all means to get around.

Eric's voice slowly sounded: "I was asked, I was just an outsider, why did I have to fight for the survival of mutants, it shouldn't have been my choice at all, I could have lived better, I could have hidden, I had time to work hard for my fellow citizens I could have spent enjoying life - you know, I like to enjoy, and I like to be with beautiful and interesting women, I never hide that." ”

"And how did you answer?" John nodded, he knew the character of the mentor, which would not make him look down on Eric like Mary Jane, but would admire his truth even more.

I didn't answer. I'm not Logan, and I can't survive for long. I'm going to die, John. So I have an ambition to do something before death comes, and not wait until I'm old to regret it. Eric lifted his head, straightened his legs, and propped himself up with his hands behind his back, as if he were watching the sunset on the academy's lawn. I hope that through my efforts, the next generation will no longer live in fear, and those fears, anger and insecurities should not be left to the next generation, they should only be stored in our memories, and give future generations a peaceful world. ”

"I can help you." John said without thinking.

"I believe it." Eric laughed. "I never doubted that, but I'm going to sue you kid." He looked into John's eyes: "The time that belongs to the Fire Man has not yet come, and now is the time of the new Magneto." ”

John took a few long breaths, and his body finally relaxed.

They talked about the night, from the teachers and students in the academy to the fraternity, from the professor to Magneto, and occasionally to other heroes, and Eric would tell him little secrets, and John would smile and hide them deep in his heart.

It wasn't until the clock rang that they ended their heart-to-heart conversation. Eric patted the floor, the metal material dissipated heat quickly, and now it was cold.

"Go back, if Babi can't find you, he should be in a hurry." Eric teased, and John stood up, but he was overstrained and his legs didn't listen.

Eric carried him on his back.

"I can do it myself." John hurriedly argued.

"What should I do if I fall, don't expect me to hold you, I have no problem with changing to a lady, now you will stay honest with me." Eric lifted John up one more time, then walked out through the dimly lit training room. "Don't forget, I'm your mentor, if you want, you can call me father, what's so embarrassing about dad carrying his son?"

John didn't say anything and put his arms around his shoulders hard. (To be continued!)
