"Did you hear that, Eric's disappearance was a few days after he brought back a beautiful sister from outside, and Auroro's face was crooked." In Xavier's student cafeteria, Burning Man John eats breakfast and tells his friends the gossip he's just gotten.

"You should add 'sir' in front of his name as a sign of respect." Colossus Pitt corrects his friend's impoliteness.

"How could it be Auroro, shouldn't the angry person be Jean, she often stays alone during Eric's absence, I think Scott must be out of play." Glare Alicent has always been interested in gossip.

"Our new Magneto is extraordinary." John spread his hands. "I really envy his ability, I've always wanted to learn a few hands from him, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity, I don't know what lesson he will give us today, if I have time I must run over and ask him how he did it."

His words immediately caused a wave of ridicule among his classmates. The boys are okay, the closed environment of the academy makes them less exposed to the outside world, and their personalities are somewhat shy, and the girls are raised and matured earlier, and some words in private among acquaintances are still very bold, even a shy girl like Katie dares to tease him.

For them, who are almost isolated from the world, the gossip news of the teachers behind their backs is a rare pastime, as if they were new teachers involved in complex emotional issues and mysteries, and their imagination is like wings and flying out of the sky in an instant.

It should be said that Eric's first lesson was a great success, not only to dispel the strangeness and rejection of the students, but also to arouse their enthusiasm for the outside world. During the last snake extermination operation, these young people finally learned that the world had closed its door to them while quietly leaving a small door, and that if they searched hard, they could also find their way to heaven, and Eric was the key they were looking for.

These days, young people have been looking forward to another lesson: thrilling action, hard work, enthusiastic cheering, and most importantly being truly needed---- an experience that is wonderful for mutants with low self-esteem at heart.

They can't wait to get out of school again.

They weren't disappointed, Eric had the exact idea, but before he could convince someone to help him.

"I'm on patrol, Eric, there's been a resurgence of recent activities against mutants, so I can't help you lead the team." Auroro refused. Due to lack of sleep, she has been unable to lift her spirits lately, and finally Eric returns, and she is about to muster up the courage to talk to him, but she learns about Selena, which makes her feel unspeakably distressed. Although Eric claims to be the father of the English Rose, the ghost will believe his nonsense---- Professor has confirmed that this white man who can walk in the sun is a vampire, and it is unknown from which world Eric abducted her.

Father? There is no more unreliable relationship than this.

Master? That's who you are!

Very good!

Auroro felt that he should be impressed by Eric, and he put it. It's like an American in the eighties, and every time she sees Selena affectionately circling around that bastard, she wants to punch him in the face and let him know how powerful Storm Girl is.

But it seems a bit too much to really do this.

It's just unrequited love after all.

I don't seem to complain about him.

My miserable life was bankrupt before even the confession began---- and the simple mutant lady didn't even have the word "competition" in her head, just self-pity, which made her even more listless.

"I'm tired Eric, please forgive me for not being able to help you." That's what she wanted to say in her heart.

"Yes, Selena is my teaching assistant, she is very capable, she is enough." When Eric said this, he even praised his "daughter" to his face, is this still called asking for help? Auroro was even more dissatisfied when she heard this, she secretly gritted her teeth, and made up her mind to reject this ruthless man, and swore in the name of the storm that she would never go back.

But how could Eric, a cunning fellow, let her go, he had sharpened his claws to tease this female colleague.

"But you are irreplaceable, and I want to see you by my side." Eric approached unconsciously, his blue-gray eyes staring at her earnestly, and said softly. The heat of his breath hit Auroro's face like a fire in her chest. Storm Girl's originally firm stance quickly softened.

"Is this true?" The Storm Girl asked weakly, reminding herself that ---- should reject him, Auroro.

"I'm relieved to have you there." Eric nodded.

"Alright then...... "Auroro agreed in a divine way, and then bowed her head in shame, she felt useless.

***

"Uh-huh----" the young man cheered and ran into the flying machine, it wasn't the first time they had set foot here, and it wasn't the first time in their lives that they had stepped into the sky, but getting into the flying machine in Eric's class meant only one thing: they had another chance to go out and let off steam.

"Whether it's fighting monsters or capturing aliens today, Soldier John is willing to serve you, sir." Burning Man is funny as soon as he comes up, and he has endless energy to vent it.

"Relax Soldier, the world is peaceful today, there are no monsters and no aliens, and there is no suffering girl who needs you to help her with artificial respiration, we are going to carry out a peace mission, Operation Codename: Friendly Match, Destination: Lake Al Khali." Eric's words caused a burst of laughter.

"Lake Al Kali?" Auroro, who was piloting the aircraft, asked. "Logan had just returned from there, and it was desolate, with nothing but stones and water."

"Our target is underground, there's an old man in the base below who used to scare the kids of the academy, and we're going to visit him."

"Old man...... Stryker, you say? After pondering for a moment, Auroro reacted, she was so frightened that she almost threw away the steering wheel of the aircraft, and the students were also shocked, they did not expect this lesson to drill into the tiger's den.

"Eric, it's not the time for war, Stryker has the Department of Defense behind him, and it's dangerous there......," she cried out in fear, for fear that Eric would do something stupid with a hot head.

"Don't worry, we're just visiting this gentleman and his agency, and it's a necessary lesson for young people to learn more about the enemy."

"But......" Auroro tried to convince him, but Eric had no fear.

"There is no danger, there is no war, the professor will pay attention to us."

Even with all the assurances, it took a lot of effort for Eric to convince her to move on to Canada.

Now that it's quiet in the plane, the students aren't so excited, they're a little scared.

As a mutant, you can not know who the president is, but you can't not know who Stryker is.

It was a butcher, an executioner, a living Frankenstein. He hated mutants and caged hundreds of of his compatriots like guinea pigs to cramp and scrape the marrow to make bioweapons. He is the satan of the world, and his reputation is widely spread in the mutant world, and his every move is of concern, but it is difficult to find clues. Sometimes he is silent and there is no news, so be careful, do not let up, because he is silently watching you in the dark, looking for your fleeting weakness, and will pounce on you at every opportunity and kill you.

If this kind of horror was only stored in the teachings of their predecessors in the past, then after the night of the attack on the academy, the students really experienced this silent threat.

They hated and feared the threat, and even the double assurances of Eric and the professor could not put them at ease, and the closer they got to their destination, the more nervous and silent they became.

This tension is also present in Auroro, who knows more about Stryker than the students, so the pressure is multiplied.

Eric looked back at Selena, who sat quietly in her seat reading a magazine, and felt her master's gaze as she looked up and smiled.

This is the composure that comes after a hundred battles, and young people still have a long way to go.

But that's exactly what you do, isn't it?

Stroking Selena's supple head, Eric smiled.
