Chapter 24 Community Effects of Zonal Variants
Upstairs in the mansion.
Young Master Cott, who was wearing a nightcap and salivating from the corner of his mouth, sniffled, and vaguely listened to the buzzing and noisy sound and slipped half into the quilt and covered his head.
After a while, there was a muffled pop, and the bulging velvet quilt collapsed.
Kurt flashed into the living room in his pajamas, looked up and yawned and rubbed his eyes, seeing that his parents were arguing heartily, and he didn't get involved in it, and teleported back to the bed.
It stands to reason that children will be very resistant and even afraid of their parents' noise, but I don't know if it's the characteristics of "demonic" mutants, they have a particularly strong resistance and adaptability to chaos and negative emotions, or it can simply be said... Thick nerves?
Young Master Kurt scratched his tail in a daze, remembering that today was the day of school after the winter break, and if it weren't for the quarrel between his parents, he might have fallen asleep.
After changing his clothes, he flashed to the kitchen by himself, and the servants had already prepared food.
"Ahem... Mom and Dad, am I going to school?"
………
「... Do you dare to let Charles search your memories!
「
"Why, why don't you dare..."
………
"Hmm... Go ahead! 「
Tilting his head and glancing at the two, the matter has developed to the stage of whether to go to Uncle Charles to check his memories to prove his innocence.
Kurt looked at the clock hands and there were still a few seconds before it was nine o'clock, and the stuck dots teleported and flashed one after another, and he came directly to the academy classroom nearly a hundred kilometers away.
"Ho-ahh
Laura, who was sitting in the last row across the aisle from Jean, yawned loudly and watched a cloud of blue-black smoke flash from the empty seat in front of her, just in time for class.
"Whew... I'm so sleepy... I really envy that I can go to school like this, and I can sleep a lot more.
Laura, who looks like a fried lion, is in stark contrast to Jean Grey, who is wearing a preppy turtleneck sweater next to her, and her hair is delicately tied up and reading a book silently.
The two of them finished their vacation and returned to school directly from the Wolf's Lair base, Jean saw that the seat next to Kurt was still empty, and asked suspiciously:
"Kurt, where's Warren? By the way, how about his wings. 「
The little blue devil looked at the empty tables and chairs next to him, looked around, there were two more fresh faces in the classroom, he looked at a familiar black long-haired back in front of him, tilted his head with an unkind face and groaned:
"Well, no one even came, so it's not good... Alas... This guy..."
……………
There is no fixed class concept in the Transcendental Academy, only the list of classes is divided according to the level of different courses, so the cultural knowledge and science courses are often shared by children of similar ages.
Evolution, or some ability practice courses, will be taught in different classes according to the specific learning situation of each mutant teenager.
After the first grammar lesson, Laura sat on a bench in the College Square and muttered to Jean and Kurt.
"Hmm... So Warren's wings can't get any better!"
Kurt didn't say anything, stepped on the back of the bench and dangled his tail slowly, nodded and shook his head.
"I don't know... Whether it is the scientific team at home or the examination results of the academy, the results are not optimistic, and the wings... Anyway, the injury is too severe, and it's weird that there is no sign of healing."
He sees a boy wearing strange sunglasses walking over and saying hello to Laura and Jean, except for the Grey Butterfly who injured Warren, Scott is another new transfer student.
Qin also said with a worried face:
"Have a look at the group's scientific team? I've seen a lot of new technologies in the 'Wolf's Lair' these days, and the level of medical and technological technology in the outside world is not comparable at all."
Scott saw that the atmosphere here was not right, and stood quietly on the side without making a sound, he originally wanted to ask if the next evolution course was still with everyone, but the solemn faces of the three of them made him a little confused for a while.
Laura had been sleeping on her stomach for the first lesson, and this would finally have the energy, and she thought hesitantly:
"When I was a child, I heard my dad mention that there was a black giant on the manor who had a strange ability, and anyone who had a breath left could cure a serious injury or disease."
Chief Kurt sighed, easily jumped onto a thick banyan branch directly above the bench, and hung down with the soles of his special fingers grasping the branch, holding his arms and swinging his body by inertia.
"I've thought of a solution... I've already handed over his situation to the family's science team, and they haven't heard from him yet, but as for the person you mentioned, I remember, grandpa told this story with the two of us together."
「... His name was John Coffey, and he left the old house alone before we were born, and he didn't know where he went. If his lifespan was the same as that of ordinary people, he would have died of old age by now... It's all to blame on that spirit butterfly! Hmph, see if I don't trouble her in the future..."
Laura tilted her head, as if she had forgotten that she had heard this story with Kurt as a child, and Scott, who had been clubbing for a long time, scratched the back of her head and said strangely:
"Well, why don't you find a way to find a way with Mr. Howlett? Belch... Of course you know more about him than I do, but he's the most energetic man in the world..."
Scott's voice became smaller and smaller, looking at Laura and Kurt's helpless eyes, thinking about the two of them, one of Mr. Howlett's daughters and the other of their grandsons, who couldn't come up with this idea on their own.
"Actually... Laura, you can really ask your father."
Jean Grey pondered for a moment, and said earnestly with a slight brow:
"Have you forgotten that the 'Basic Introduction to the Variant System' talks about a 'zoomorphic mutant community effect'. It is proposed that mutant humans who are closely related to each other or belong to the same bestial variant gene will have a natural co-population phenomenon originating from the deepest layer..."
Jean looked at Laura and Kurt blinking at the same frequency, as if the three of them had never taken a cultural class together for all these years, she had to sigh helplessly and continued:
"... This is the population instinct on which the beast group preys and survives, and this instinct tempts them to approach each other and depend on each other. I've read a summary of Dr. McCoy's self-mutation in the Wolf's Lair these days, which mentions a special pheromone-like stimulus that Mr. Howlett brought him."
"Laura, your father is a beast mutant at the very top, and Warren... It's part of this system!"
Scott Summers was stunned for a long time, and his heart was inexplicably firm in his belief that he wanted to study hard, but he couldn't be like this young lady and the young master...
Looking down at his class schedule, the courses on evolution and transcendent knowledge are all at the most elementary level, and I want to catch up... There is still a long way to go.
