Repelled the police. Observing that Eric was almost carried onto the plane by the students, Auroro was a little worried at first, but he was not so sensitive to the joyful appearance of the ordinary people whistling and heckling on the lookers. Anyway, it's not a matter of a day or two for mutants to be hostile, and as long as there is an objective report on today's events, public opinion will not blame Eric one-sidedly.

What's more, with the participation of the Fantastic Four, everyone will suffer together to play the board, so there is also a role in dispersing firepower.

Thinking of this, she also put her mind at ease and followed the students to hug Eric back lively.

Despite another setback today, a few of the youngsters weren't too frustrated, and after their last battle with Stryker's men at Lake Alcali, they had learned that having a good attitude would take them far. Johnny's freak isn't something they can handle right now, but it may not be possible in the future, and they have plenty of confidence.

For this, Eric himself is the best role model, when he first came to the academy, he was only a second-level mutant, who would have thought that he would live such a prosperous life? With this example, the students are all confident, and they will not take the slightest setback to heart.

After returning to the academy, the professor and Hank were also very happy, and the completion of this firefighting operation can be seen as a good start, and there will be more cooperation between mutants and humans in the future, and some small twists and turns during this period are nothing.

After a while, everyone dispersed to rest, and Eric returned to his room.

Selena wasn't there, the room was empty, and the woman who liked to watch soap operas in the afternoon was now in the West, and she wouldn't cling to her body anymore. Without the familiar soft and delicate body in his arms, Eric looked at the deserted room for a moment, then walked to the window and closed the thick curtains, leaving only a thin gap for the warm sunlight to shine through the outside, and the room suddenly darkened.

He took out the teapot and brewed a cup of tea, gently rubbing the pattern on the cool cup wall with the palm of his hand, under the urging of his ability, his palms and fingers gradually turned silver, and the magnetic field swirled around to form a vortex to heat the tea, and then on the rising heat, Eric slowly drank alone.

Not far away, a few fine dusts swam slowly in the sunlight, and Eric quietly watched their ups and downs, silently drinking tea and silently, gradually entering an ethereal realm, and I don't know how long it took to come back to his senses at the knock on the door.

When the door was opened, it was John, who came to visit by himself.

"Boss," John said hello, who didn't look as presumptuous today as he usually would. "Excuse me?"

Eric smiled and let him in.

"I've been waiting for any of you to come and talk to me." Eric took out a cup and poured tea for John. "You're the first."

John took the teacup with both hands, and for some reason, he looked a little restrained at the moment.

Eric showed this, but he didn't say it.

"How do you feel about the morning?" Eric asked.

John knew what the guru meant, and that was what he was here for.

"That guy is strong, I can't beat him." John was a little sad, the last time he lost to an ordinary person, he embarrassed this stubborn young man, and this time he lost to a mutant who had just developed abilities after being irradiated, as a trained senior student at Xavier Academy, the future backbone of the mutant race, he was quite ashamed of his defeat.

Of course, the bigger reason is that Johnny is a flame walker like him, and now he is not unique, and he even has to be in the back row, which makes his heart more and more uncomfortable.

Who would have thought that John, the burning man who has a big grin on the surface and likes to have nothing to do, is actually a sensitive and delicate person?

John didn't want to expose this side of himself to his classmates, and Auroro and the others couldn't help him, so he had to turn to Eric for help.

Eric certainly wasn't going to let him down.

"Actually, you're doing a good job." He reassured. "You've been pretty good with Bobby, and that's clear from the firefighting, and the reason why you lost to Johnny was because he started higher than you, but it's not out of reach."

"How can I defeat him?" John looked at his mentor stunned, and now he only had one thought.

Eric smiled, the young man always thought things were simple.

"The easiest way is to get a bottle of liquid nitrogen, take it with you, and then when you meet Johnny, open the bottle and throw it over, the low temperature of minus 190 degrees Celsius will make him stop for an instant, and then put a stick on his head, and the problem will be solved." Eric teased the student by pointing to his forehead.

"It's not good......", John stammered, first subconsciously objecting, then pondering over the feasibility of the matter.

"Of course not." Eric punctured his fantasies in time. "If you do, you'll never want to live with him again in your life, and you'll not be able to hold your head up in front of your companions."

John bowed his head in shame, ashamed of his depraved thoughts.

"Forget that joke and let's get back to business." Eric reassured the student in time. "Have you noticed any differences in your use of abilities in your interactions?"

John thought for a moment and said, "He can fly, he can throw fireballs, and he is not afraid of my flames." ”

"Yes, that's right." Eric said. "Except that his strength is relatively strong and he can fly, his attack is very simple, whether it is facing you or Babi, or me, his means are always exactly the same. Compared to you, he can't effectively control the high temperature, and his power is just ordinary flames, which can be restrained by Babi's frost, and even the fire brigade's water dragon can extinguish them. ”

John nodded, Johnny's table was indeed so.

"In that case, what else do you have to worry about?" Eric asked. "The training I asked you to complete seriously has made you far surpass him in terms of ability, you have exquisite techniques, unique ideas, and can fully exploit your strengths, and when you gradually grow up, what is there worth mentioning about a mutant like Johnny?"

"You know, they are not mutants, they are not born with the X gene, and the reason why they get their abilities is only due to physical mutations, and if they can't use their powers flexibly, their future achievements will be very limited. When they stand still, your abilities are increasing day by day, and once you make up for the gap in strength, you can also transform into fire, make your nickname worthy of your name, and even directly manipulate his body that turns into fire, which is where the superiority of mutants lies. Eric pointed.

"Can I really?" John's eyes were shining, but he was a little unconfident, and he unconsciously compared himself to Johnny today, fantasizing that he could fly high in the sky like him.

"Just keep training." Eric nodded. "Training has enabled you to evolve and allow you to accomplish tasks that were previously unimaginable."

"Even among ordinary people, even children, idiots, and even animals can acquire many abilities that they would not otherwise have. People of almost every profession have this ability to do something specific within the scope of their profession: the shepherd is as familiar with the habits of every sheep in his flock as we know about acquaintances; The farmer can estimate the weight of a pile of hay or a pile of corn without departing from the observation of his eyes; Even if the ships are far out at sea, a well-trained sailor can tell their tonnage, construction, and distance. All these acquired abilities are acquired through long-term exercise. Others can, and so can you. ”

Eric's words dispelled John's suspicions, and with the assurance of a future, he began to relax and chat casually with Eric.

"Boss, do you sometimes find me annoying?" John asked suddenly, as he drank his tea.

Eric tilted his head and listened.

"I know I have a bad temper, sometimes I get into fights with Bobby, I even have a fight with Pete, and everybody doesn't like me and treats me like a nuisance, I know that." John said, bowing his head.

"So you want to hear me tell the truth?" Eric raised an eyebrow.

"Uh......" John twitched, a little embarrassed. If it really doesn't sound good, forget it. ”

Eric stood up, walked behind the student and pressed his shoulder.

"I don't think of John the Burning Man as such a weak guy, he is enthusiastic, he is very enthusiastic about his friends and classmates, he is a good young man."

John smiled, a little bitterly.

"Actually, I'm not that enthusiastic. My only friend never knew how jealous I was of him. I knew that Bobby was far more talented than me, and Auroro had never said that, but I could feel the difference in Scott's attitude towards us, so I secretly hid and practiced my abilities without telling Sù Bobby. Chief, I'm not like them, they have relatives and friends, and I'm not, John the Burning Man has to be strong to live. ”

"You're going to live, you're going to fight side by side with your friends, you're all going to live well." Eric pulled him up from his chair, and the two of them walked to the window.

"Look around, this is all your little world now, it's quiet but it's small and dark, your future doesn't belong to it, your future is here----" Eric tore open the curtains, and the sun shone brightly, lighting up the whole room.

"Look outward John, your future is there, and no one can stop us from moving into new horizons." Eric stared at the scenery outside and said lightly. His whole being was bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the golden light fell on his body, like wrapping him in a golden cloak.

John looked at the back of this mentor and suddenly felt that he was so tall, like a towering mountain holding up a sky for himself.
