017. Rights and Obligations
Although Cyclops is quite serious-looking, in fact, he is a good talker.
If nothing else, it can be seen from the fact that he is willing to lend cars to students.
In addition to those few treasures, other cars, as long as the student has a reasonable reason and a driver's license.
For example, if you want to go to a nearby town and go on a date with your girlfriend.
He basically wouldn't say no.
This is how the Iceman's last car was borrowed.
However, now, he showed a serious expression that Lorna and the others had never seen before.
In addition to Lorna, who applied on her own, Iceman, Coloss, and Phantom Cat were all carefully selected by Laser Eyes, and they felt that they could train them to be excellent students of the new X-Men.
Although he, Phoenix Girl and the others are not old now, they can still protect students and the school for a long time.
But he still hopes that some students will become the new X-Men.
In this way, even if something happens to them, someone can take up the burden on them and continue to protect the school and students.
But now, after seeing Lorna's performance, he wasn't just disappointed.
In terms of strength, Lorna and the others can easily complete the task and wipe out the enemy.
As a result, not only did they fail to complete the task of holding the block, but they also behaved in a mess.
If it was because of insufficient strength, which led to the failure of the mission, he would not say anything.
However, the three of Lorna were "killed in battle" just now, not because their strength was not enough to protect themselves, but because they were too light on the enemy.
This is where Cyclops is really unacceptable.
Except for Roy, Lorna and the others all treated the training just now as a game, and didn't pay attention to his and Roy's reminders at all.
After seeing Cyclopyo's serious expression that she had never seen before, the three of Lorna fell silent.
LaserEye didn't give Lorna time to adjust and recover, and continued:
"Keep training!"
"If you're still like this, then you won't be using it tomorrow."
With that, Cyclops left the training room.
As soon as he went out, a holographic projection of reality reappeared.
It's still the same neighborhood, it's still the same enemy.
The battle is on again!
……
Time flies.
Soon, night fell.
In the past few hours, Roy and the others have conducted a total of five combat training sessions.
Except for the mess of the first performance, the next four times, they all performed quite well.
Of course, Roy's form is as stable as ever.
He has been experiencing this kind of training for a week, and the enemies he faces have long since upgraded from ordinary troops to all kinds of mutants.
After being harshly criticized by Cyclopax, Lorna and the others finally got serious.
Even in the second and third trainings, they still didn't perform very well, and there will be some scrambling.
But in the next two trainings, their performance has reached a passing level.
The so-called qualification means that they finally begin to know how to use their superpowers to protect themselves and defeat their enemies.
Although the experience and skill are still a little lacking, at least they will not be easily "killed" by the enemy as they did at the beginning.
After the fifth training session, Cyclops and Phoenix Girl respectively commented on the performance of the four Lorna, pointed out what they are not doing well enough, and gave targeted opinions and ways to improve.
"Alright, that's all for today's training."
"You can go back."
Cyclops said to the Roy Five.
"Okay."
Iceman and Lorna nodded to Cyclops and Phoenix Girl and left the training room.
Roy didn't leave with them, but said to Cyclophalo:
"Mr. Scott, the professor told me last night that I can ask you about the X-Men."
"What do you want to know?"
Cyclops asked.
From his personal point of view, Roy is a little too early to join the X-Men.
He admits that Roy now has decent combat power.
But either way, Roy is still too young now.
Letting a little guy who is still a minor join the X-Men is a bit too casual to look at it.
However, since Professor X personally invited Roy to join the X-Men, he would not go against Professor X's decision.
He is indeed the captain of the X-Men now.
But Professor X is the true backbone of the X-Men.
"I wonder what privileges the X-Men have?"
"Of course, rights and obligations are reciprocal, and the obligations of the X-Men, I also want to know about them."
Roy didn't talk nonsense and asked bluntly.
"The X-Men do have some privileges, but not very much."
"I guess you already know that the X-Men are free to roam around the world."
"In addition to that, the X-Men have a certain degree of special law enforcement powers."
Cyclops said quickly.
Special enforcement powers?
What is it?
Roy looked at Cyclops suspiciously.
Without waiting for him to ask, Cyclops continued:
"As a simple example, the X-Men are a bit of a mutant cop and have the right to catch mutant criminals."
"Of course, not all mutant criminals need to be captured by the X-Men, and the mutant criminals we capture still need to be handed over to the authorities in the end, and they cannot be tried or detained in private."
"These special enforcement powers, as long as they are to ensure that we have the authority to participate in mutant cases."
"Mutant criminals are different from ordinary criminals, if they are handed over to the police to solve the problem, it doesn't matter whether they can be successfully arrested, even if they are successfully arrested, the price paid by the police will not be small."
"In addition, this special law enforcement power is actually equivalent to the obligations of the X-Men."
"If the authorities find a mutant criminal who is tricky and can't be caught, they will ask us for assistance."
"When we get their requests for assistance, we need to go over and assist them in their arrest."
After listening to Cyclops' explanation, Roy had only one idea.
That's the so-called privilege, which is actually a transaction.
Officials gave the X-Men certain rights of free movement and law enforcement.
In return, the X-Men will provide corresponding assistance when the authorities need it.
In this sense, the X-Men are a special kind of mercenary.
It's just that the price of hiring them is not money.
"Any other questions?"
Cyclops continued.
"In addition to the privileges granted by the authorities, what are the rights and obligations of the full members of the X-Men at school?"
Roy then asked.
"In terms of rights, you basically have the right to use all the equipment in the school, such as this training room, or the medical room and the laboratory."
"You can also browse the materials in the school database as you like."
"If you have an obligation, you are to guide or protect students."
Cyclops thought for a moment and replied.
"Is that all?"
"Is there anything else, like salaries and benefits?"
Although it is vulgar to talk about money, mutants are also human beings and have to eat.
Roy does have some savings right now, but not much.
Ordinary daily expenses, such as an appointment with Clarice, a shopping session with Lorna, a gift or something, are not a big problem.
But if you want to live a little more luxuriously, it's a little difficult.
"That should be what you're really trying to ask, right?"
After hearing Roy's inquiry, Laser Eye showed such an expression and said with a smile.
