Chapter Ninety-Four: Xavier School for the Gifted
"Welcome to Xavier School for the Gifted, kid." Professor Charles smiled kindly at Edward.
"Thank you." Edward politely agreed, pretending to look around and quickly activating the Nightmare Memory Daydream's active skill.
Daydreaming's passive ability is to prevent reading memories of previous events, while active is to replace current thoughts with a picture calculated by the beetle to avoid being read minds.
"Mr. Stark, it's good to see you're okay." Charles greeted the other two with a smile, "Mr. Wayne, what you want is ready." ”
"Okay, let's go check it out." Bruce nodded.
Beside her, Grey was in charge of pushing Charles's wheelchair as they talked as they made their way to the principal's office.
Edward looked around curiously, not looking for a specific one, but looking for some.
Xavier School for the Gifted and Talented is supposed to be an exclusive school for mutants, and the school's funding is mainly borne by professors in the early stage.
So Edward was a little confused about the current situation.
Charles earned enough money to spend a lifetime when he was young, and in theory should be enough to cover school expenses, so why would he let Bruce and Stark take a stake? Do these two know that the headmaster is a mutant?
Theoretically, Xavier School for the Gifted and Talented should be in Westchester County, New York, how could it run to downtown New York?
On the other hand, with two shareholders here, will it still exist as a mutant-only school as before, or will mutants coexist with normal students?
There were too many questions, and Edward couldn't sort out clues for a while.
Edward's gaze was looked at, and several people exchanged plans to find a student to take Edward to take a look in the school.
Two young and beautiful girls happened to pass by, one with blonde hair in a black leather coat, and the other with blonde hair in a white suit, young and beautiful, and very conspicuous.
Edward immediately recognized the two of them at the train station that day.
Edward glanced decisively to the other side, trying to pretend to be transparent.
I met the actions of the Troopers at the train station before, and when the professor and Jean Gray entered, he had already run away, so the two sides didn't meet each other, but these two people are different, if they are recognized, they won't be erased, right?
And then
"Hey, remember me?" Emma Frost took the initiative to step forward, with joy in her tone, the last time she was pulled by Edward, dodging the light bulb falling from the sky, she was held by Edward's hand and panicked, forgetting to thank you, and has been remembering it until now.
The vast sea of people meet by fate, although I have looked for it in the past two months, but I haven't found it, so I gave up, I didn't expect to meet at school.
Iljana beside her greeted Charles and Jean Grey, and waited behind, staring at Edward with an unkind face, she, like Emma, had not forgotten Edward, but Emma wanted to say thank you, she wanted to find an opportunity to beat him up.
The two of them have their own thoughts, and the others don't know, Stark saw this scene, and his expression became ambiguous, "Wow, wow, wow, wow"
"Ahem." Bruce next to him coughed, Stark knew too well, this was going to make him open his mouth ironclad yellow, and simply put an elbow on Stark's ribs to shut him up.
Stark was forced to shut up, but was upset, and lifted his elbow to give Bruce an arm.
Bruce gave Jean Grey a look and gave Stark back.
Jean Grey received Charles's notice in her mind, and immediately understood that Edward was the person who was at the train station, but it was not easy to tell her face to face, so she pretended not to know.
"Emma, this is Edward, a transfer student who is coming soon, can you take him on a tour of the school?"
"Okay." Emma smiled like a flower.
Edward was also afraid that Charles and Jean would notice a flaw in his daydream, so he thought about it and left with Emma.
Looking at their distant figures, Stark touched the beard on his chin, "I think this time it's done." ”
Bruce didn't respond calmly, but his eyes were approving.
"I'll just say, knowledge is power, how can such an old-fashioned line be as attractive as the beauties in school." Stark was very emotional, so many words originally prepared were useless, and the two beautiful girls hooked them away.
Young people now.
"Ahem." Charles coughed, although it seemed that it was indeed the case, but he couldn't say it in front of the principal?
Edward saw the environment outside Xavier's gifted school, but he didn't want to appreciate it.
He asked Beetle to search Xavier School for the Gifted, and the feedback he gave was that he moved from Westchester County in 1994 at the end of the last century, and checked the shareholding information, and he only moved here after the Wayne Group became a shareholder.
Edward reminisced about Bruce Wayne.
In 1994, when Bruce Wayne was 8 years old, an incident occurred in what became known as Crime Alley, Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne were in the middle of a shooting.
The Wayne Group originally signed a contract to relocate Xavier Gifted and Talented School to Gotham, but while it was in the middle of the execution, Thomas Wayne, the company's president, died, so he moved to the center of New York.
At this point in time, Edward had to make associations, is there any relationship between the two?
Before moving here, Xavier Genius School was unknown, and now Xavier Genius School is nominally a private secondary school, because of its extremely high teaching quality, the enrollment requirements are relatively high, but it still enrolls normal students and ordinary students.
At least nominally, there is nothing to do with mutants here.
There are no open recruits for mutants, and there are no mutant-related courses on the surface.
Oh, by the way, Stark Industries originally had nothing to do with the school, but later Stark Tony came to power, saw the Wayne Group take a stake, and decisively followed the investment with the company's operating concept of "I can't do without the Wayne Group".
The three of them walked through the castle of the main body of the school, and came to the playground inside the school, where the grass was everywhere, the warm breeze of early spring was blowing, and everything was revived.
Edward spent two months in the desert when he suddenly saw that the vegetation was not very adaptable.
Emma next to her had been comforting Iljana, who wanted to come up and stab Edward, but none of them spoke.
It wasn't until Iryana was appeased that Emma spoke, "You left abruptly last time, and you didn't have time to say thank you yet. ”
"Because some things are in a hurry, I didn't expect you to remember me." Edward was vague, looking at Emma's face, and subconsciously thought about her setting.
has been serialized for decades, and there are many origin settings, but most of the cases are girls' schools, with bad grades and a bad relationship between father and daughter, and then run away from home, and have a very bad experience working outside the house, which leads to blackening, and becomes the white queen of the strong woman who is later vigorous and resolute.
Why did you come to Xavier School for the Gifted at this time?
"It's not too late to say thank you, is it?" Emma asked, with her hands behind her back, her head stretched forward, staring into Edward's eyes.
"It's not necessary." Edward was humble enough that his light bulb wouldn't have fallen at all
Seeing Emma's icy eyes, Edward's mind raced.
The White Queen's painting style before and after blackening is completely different.
Because of family problems before blackening, she was a young girl who wanted to be recognized and lacked love, almost a modern princess.
After blackening, she directly super-evolved to become a strong woman, and she can understand her strength by looking at the title of White Queen.
If you can ensure that Emma is not hit with blackening, it will be more conducive to solving the impasse between mutants and humans in the future
Thinking about the result in his heart, Edward took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "No need to thank you, make a friend, Edward Ed." ”
Emma blinked, remembering her father's request to her "can't find a boyfriend or you'll go back to girls' school", her sister's "no one will take a fancy to you idiot", and her brother's "help me keep an eye on handsome men"
Emma's deep ice pupils suddenly faded, and she just grabbed the tips of Edward's fingers and shook them gently
"Emma Grace Frost."
Edward stretched out his head to look at Ilyana, who was blocked by Emma and had not been angry since he saw Edward, and asked politely with eight points of perfunctory.
"What about you?"
"Not interested." Ilyana was unhappy, she was verbally taken advantage of by this bastard the last time they met, how could she give him a good face now.
"Oh." Edward retreated with a perfunctory touch, and went back to talk to Emma.
This cold and distracted, very confused "oh" made Iljana's forehead jump.
This feeling of being perfunctory is so unpleasant!!
Emma turned around and gave Ilyana a slightly pleading look.
Ilyana jumped in front of Edward and stretched out her hand angrily, "Ilyana, Nikorevna Rasputin, I still remember the last time you talked nonsense, don't let me meet you alone." ”
"Huh." Edward reached out to shake hands, Iljana's face was exactly the same as in hell, how could Edward not recognize it?
With a smile on his face, the last time I met you alone, I was almost stoned to death by near the speed of light, what else do you want? Next time, will you be stoned directly beyond the speed of light?
Principal's Office.
Stark sat down on the couch, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Okay, Professor, you've seen what you want to see, how do you feel?" ”
Charles, still smiling lightly, turned his head to look at Jean Grey.
Jean Grey shook her head with a frown.
"Mr. Stark, your trauma is indeed beyond the limits of the current level of medical care, and I can't guarantee 100% that it won't cause you a loss."
Stark interrupted Charles, "Hey, I didn't ask me about something, I mean what do you think of that Manchurian, that Savic, that magician?" Is it a mutant? ”
Charles didn't mind his words being interrupted, and followed Stark's words, "Mr. Stark, there are not only mutants in the world, but also magic and aliens. ”
"I can understand what you say about aliens, but magic, I'm not a child, Professor Charles, it's just a fairy tale for Alice to fall down the rabbit hole, k?"
