"You're outdated, Babi." With a word from John, the tactical simulation class ended.

Nick and Mariano, who were eye-opened, applauded the young people, and the younger children cheered for their older siblings, unaware that the enemies who had been present had beaten John's boys to the ground a few days earlier, and were only happy for the students' excellent performance. Seeing that the young people are so capable of doing so, everyone is full of confidence in the future of the college.

"How did you do that?" Auroro looked at Eric incredulously, as a mentor, she knew exactly what John's level was, she didn't expect that Burning Man would be able to turn defeat into victory, it was Thunderbolt Johnny and Stone Man, the two strongest fighters in the Fantastic Four, even if they weakened their abilities, they could be defeated with John's little ability? It's ridiculous! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Auroro wouldn't have believed it.

"What did you do to John, and he was suddenly unrecognizable?" She couldn't help but ask again.

"Just a little reminder." Eric replied calmly, and before he could finish his words, he was hugged by John, who pounced on him. At this moment, the master demeanor of the burning man was all gone, and his face was full of ecstasy after the victory, and he shouted excitedly: "I did it, chief, I did it." ”

John's excitement had been brewing for a while, and it was hard for him to be so calm today.

"Yes boy, I'm proud of you!" Eric whispered in his ear, and he had to raise his voice as the whole danger room vibrated with the echo of people's praise and clapping. Then he lifted John's hand and led him to greet everyone.

"Guys, this is our hero---- John the Burning Man." He held John's hand high in the air like a referee crowning a king in the ring.

As soon as the words ended, thunderous cheers and applause rang out again.

Babi clapped his hands mechanically not far away, watching his old friend stand in front of everyone and accept the praise, his mood was a little complicated, John's change was so violent that he felt that familiar face became unfamiliar.

John...... Babi read the name of his sworn friend, a little stunned.

At the end of the lesson, Eric sent the guests and students away, leaving him alone in the danger room to ponder the artificial intelligence, and he studied it carefully, and at some point the professor came to his side.

"John's growth has been amazing, Eric." The professor smiled and said that he already knew what was going on today, and that the growth of that troublesome boy surprised everyone.

"He who works hard should be rewarded, and that is what he deserves." Eric said casually. I don't plan to mention John's affairs too much, he has more important things, some of the expressions of the artificial intelligence in this danger room in the simulation class made him a little suspicious, because there were too many people here just now, he didn't have time to check, he only had some appearance after the people left, and now he was about to talk to the professor. "That's what surprised me." He pointed to the AI and asked, "Is it alive?" ”

In Eric's eyes, this intelligent device is very different from other machines, it has a magnetic field similar to that of a human, constantly expanding and contracting at an extremely slow degree, like a cold-blooded animal in hibernation, the only difference is that its fluctuations are extremely small, and it is almost impossible to observe if you are not careful.

This is confirmed by the professor's answer.

"Yes, like an animal or a fish, it has some self-awareness that makes it better at its task." The professor nodded. "This is what I got in an adventure, it's from another civilization, it's very clever, isn't it?"

"It's smart, but it's also dangerous." Eric looked deeply at the AI and commented. "I don't know much about such machines, but in my knowledge of human beings, you can only have such a thing when you meet people you hate. So I have a question, who is it for? Is it all of us, or just us? ”

"I think it's a misunderstanding. Its goal is to simulate human behavior patterns against mutants, and it is likely that after John entered the arena and met the conditions required to start the program, such fluctuations were generated---- it was just a training machine, Eric. The professor squinted for a moment, then explained to Eric. I'm more worried that what I said last night would be bothering you, and I shouldn't have said that. The professor shook his head and laughed at himself. Maybe I'm getting old and becoming weak before you. ”

When Eric sent the professor back last night, he talked about the contradictions within the mutant race, and the professor was a little depressed, and showed this depression in front of Eric without concealment, and then he reacted with some regrets, worried that it would have a negative impact on the people he liked, so he came here on purpose.

He was obviously overly concerned, Eric was never the kind of person who would be lightly hit, on the contrary, the more he was frustrated, the more courage he mustered, and the more courageous he fought until he took down the enemy.

Listening to the professor's words, Eric smiled slightly: "Don't take it to heart, everyone has a low ebb, sometimes I will do some strange things, people are like this." ”

Seeing that the professor's expression was still a little depressed, he walked over and pressed his hand on the back of the professor's hand. "Don't worry about me, Professor. I can fully understand your pressure, and the occasional weakness will not shake my will, but will make me respect you more. Those who do not know fear are reckless, and those who insist on their ideas even though they know that the future is difficult are the truly brave people. Eric comforted him gently, his body temperature was transmitted through the palm of his hand to the back of the professor's somewhat loose skin, like a warm spring breeze blowing, and the old man felt a little better.

"For the past few decades, you have carried the academy and your compatriots on your shoulders, and we rely on you to not be hurt too much. Now that we have grown up, you are not alone, you still have us, we will help you win living space for your fellow citizens, and we will have a bright future. Eric said gently, patting the professor on the shoulder.

The professor nodded and smiled comfortingly.

Returning from the underground base, Eric was about to rest for a while, and by the way, he looked at the newspapers of the past few days, and before he could pick up the newspapers, there was a knock on the door, this time it was Auroro. When she is not on business, she rarely comes to the door alone, always with Jean or in the name of visiting Selena, but this time Eric guessed her intention, John's growth not only shocked his classmates, even the tutor was a little unable to sit still---- it was shameless to fall behind the students, Auroro is not a lazy guy like Logan, or a prejudice like Scott, she is a very responsible person.

"Something?" Pulling out a chair for the female colleague, Eric asked.

"Have some of your magic, and let me enjoy John's treatment too." Auroro replied, somewhat resentful in her words, and uncomfortable that their relationship had not been helped by John, especially since she had already expressed her desire for Eric's help. Eric understood her feelings, but didn't say anything, and poured her a cup of tea.

"I'm not a magician, I just showed John a path that suited him, and he got the courage to run wild on it, and that's it." Eric said as he sat down as he handed the tea to his female colleague.

"Are you deliberately cultivating him?" Auroro sensitively felt that Eric treated John differently than the others. "You don't like Bobby?" She then asked, among the boys in the upper grades, Pete was too gentle, John was too frivolous, and only Bobby's composure was what she valued the most.

"I just trust John more." Auroro was slightly taken aback by Eric's words, she had some guesses, but never thought of this reason, and she hurriedly explained it for Babi.

"There's no way Babi betrayed us, he's one of us."

"I'm not saying I don't trust Babi, in fact, I like his steadiness very much, but he's a bit reserved, and what I need is someone who is passionate enough to follow me without hesitation at a critical moment, and that person is John." Eric spoke slowly, and seeing that Auroro was still a little puzzled, he explained to her.

"Babi is such a person, his heart is divided into two halves, half is on the side of ordinary people because of his family, and the other half is the position of a mutant, and he is worried about losing either side. I wasn't worried that he would abandon us when we were in trouble, but I don't think he would tolerate this flaw when he needs to make some small changes for the good of the mutants---- I don't say this because I want him to do anything, but I have to be prepared to avoid accidentally capsizing. ”

Auroro understood what he was talking about, but she was a little unimpressed, she had lived in the academy for a long time, she would worry about ordinary people, but she would rarely be suspicious of her kind, and Eric was not, under the clutches of the main god, the kind of people were often the worst enemies. In this matter, personal experience determines their perception.

"Too much suspicion." She criticized.

"Maybe it's my experience that creates this character." Eric raised his glass and slowly savored the taste of the tea. "Maybe I have a pessimistic view of life, wanting to trust people and always be wary of everyone who might be a threat to me. This is the lesson that life has taught me, and in the hard struggle I have evolved into such a creature. It can be seen that evolution does not make people perfect, it only makes people more suitable for the environment and more suitable for survival. Even if it turns me into a monster, I'll have to rely on this mutation to survive. ”
