Chapter 10 The New Era Has Not Yet Arrived

Workout in the room.

The barbell took off his hand and was suspended more than two meters high, Raven was startled and quickly sat up.

"If half of your attention is on hiding that you're different, you won't be able to do what you need to do."

Magneto walked in slowly and said.

What he meant by his words was the appearance of the demon girl who had just lifted the barbell and exercised hard.

"Your power is more than that, why hide it?"

The Demon Girl has blue skin and fine scales, and unlike ordinary people, she has a certain degree of physical strengthening.

A heavy barbell would be a strain for the average person, and it shouldn't have been for her.

But she has been distracted to maintain the appearance of an ordinary person, to disguise her original appearance, and she is unable to use all her strength.

Brush!

Magneto's eyes moved, giving up control of the barbell.

Call!

The heavy 100kg barbell fell from the air with the sound of the wind.

Raven was forced to turn back to her original blue skin and yellow pupils, no longer maintaining her appearance, and caught the barbell steadily, without any difficulty.

Indeed, as Magneto said, she has been distracted to hide her true appearance.

But no one likes to be lectured by people they don't know well, especially Magneto's impolite behavior, which is annoying.

"I guess you can stand here and say this to me.

Because you have never been abandoned as a monster, wandering since childhood, being thrown stones by children, shouting to get out of the way, as an alien can never be accepted by society. ”

She said angrily.

"You want society to accept you, but you don't even accept your true self."

Shaking his head slightly, Magneto spoke in a serious tone, and a very infectious confidence and smile appeared on his face.

"If I were you, I would never hide my appearance, you should be proud, you were born different, you are a miracle, you are a pioneer."

"We mutants, ahead of everyone else in evolution, are now like Copernicus, who was afraid that he would be branded a heretic after discovering the truth, and tried his best to hide himself and blend in with the stupid laity."

Raven, who has experienced a lot of very sensitive things since she was a child, can feel that Magneto is not just talking about it, he really thinks so, if he is like himself, will he really do that?

Are you wrong? Obviously the leader, but want to blend in with the ordinary people who are lagging behind on the road of evolution?

After Magneto finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving behind the Demonic Girl who was lost in thought and confusion.

"I've never thought about covering up, and I've never thought about accepting myself, is it wrong?"

She put down the barbell and struggled.

There was a knock on the door, and Ron leaned against the door with his arms crossed.

"Ron!"

Raven exclaimed, because she was now the same person she was, and she turned her head to change back, back to the beautiful girl with blonde hair and brown eyes.

But thinking of the discrimination when she was a child, she was inexplicably a little sad and angry, stopped moving, and turned to look at Ron.

"You see, in fact, this is what I really am, ugly and weird, like a beast, like a devil."

"I did see it, and I heard what he said just now."

Lowering his arms and walking in slowly, Ron was not comforted, signaling that he had heard what Magneto had said to her.

"Do you think he's right, I've been hiding myself from being wrong?"

But seeing that Ron's expression did not change, and did not show any horror and disgust, Raven seemed to be comforted and asked a little nervously.

Confused, she now needs a recognized person to help her counsel and get out of the fork in the road.

"He's not wrong in a sense."

Ron chuckled.

This time can be described as one of the key nodes in the life of the demon girl.

After listening to Magneto's call today, she rejected Hank's development of a serum for her that claimed to restore her appearance to a normal person, and she has been showing her blue skin ever since.

"Really? You also think I'm doing something wrong. ”

Lowering her head, Raven whispered softly, and she, who was already shaken, began to think about whether to treat people with her true face in the future.

"No, you're not wrong."

He shook his head slightly, thinking that Raven was not wrong, and vetoed.

"Anyone will say that there are very few people who can do it.

People are often not as powerful as they think. ”

There are a few people who can achieve a theoretically saint-like state of mind, with terrifying mental toughness, who don't care about honor and disgrace, don't care about the strange eyes of others, and live a peaceful life by themselves.

Magneto thought he could do it, but he thought he hadn't really faced it.

"Copernicus was indeed a pioneer of science, but after summarizing the heliocentric theory, he was afraid of the consequences of this theory, and did not publish it for thirty years, and survived until he died of old age in bed."

"On the other hand, his student Bruno, who vigorously preached heliocentrism after his death, was denounced as a heresy by the Church and burned alive in the eyes of the crowd."

Referring to the example Magneto had given earlier, Ron spoke earnestly.

"Raven, the new era has not yet come, and people who are too ahead of their time will not be understood and accepted by the people of the old era!"

People cannot be separated from society, and people's choices must take into account the process of the times.

"I ...... I get it. ”

Nodding, Raven's eyes became firm when she heard this, and she hesitantly asked a question of great concern.

"Ron, how do I look to you right now?"

"Do you want to tell the truth?"
