023. The first task
"Let's say the mastermind behind the attack really intends to induce the president to give some orders, but what does that have to do with the school?"
"Why do you think the real target of the masterminds behind the scenes is the school?"
Laser looked at Roy and continued to ask.
Although Roy's speculation did sound plausible, he still didn't think that the mastermind behind the scenes was coming for the school.
"Why?"
"The reason is simple, because the school is strong."
Roy replied quickly.
"Because the school is strong?"
After hearing his answer, not only did Laser Eye show a puzzled expression, but the Phoenix Girl and the Storm Girl also looked at him in confusion.
Only Professor X frowned thoughtfully.
"If this is just an ordinary school, the masterminds behind it really won't be interested in the school."
"But the problem is, the school is not ordinary at all."
"Not to mention the brainwave enhancement machine that can connect all mankind underground, just the supersonic Blackbird fighter that can take off from the basketball court is already very threatening to some people and institutions."
"What's more, Mr. Scott, you are all powerful humanoid self-propelled weapons from a certain point of view."
"And it's the kind that can launch a wide range of attacks."
"Whether it's out of the idea of eliminating a potential crisis in advance, or taking the power of the school or others for yourself, the school is a valuable target."
Roy said unhurriedly.
Although he did not explicitly say that the president would order the army to attack the school, if they still can't react to Cyclops at this level, then they are too slow.
After Roy finished speaking, the office became extremely quiet, and the oppressive silence suddenly enveloped the entire office.
Although they didn't know why Roy thought that, they had to admit that what Roy said made a lot of sense.
After a few tens of seconds, Professor X spoke:
"What Roy said could happen, but it could not happen."
"If we want to know the truth, we have to find the mutant who attacked the president."
"His whereabouts are so erratic that even if I use a brainwave booster, it will be difficult to lock on to him immediately."
"When I lock on to each other, Oloro and Jean, you go and bring him back."
Professor X still makes the same decision as in the movie, intending to have Stormgirl and Phoenix Girl bring the Nightkin back.
"Okay, Professor."
Stormgirl and Phoenix Girl replied at the same time.
"Alright, you guys go out first, I have something to talk to Roy alone."
Professor X continued.
Although it was not known what Professor X was going to talk to Roy about alone, the three Cyclops quickly left the office.
When only himself and Roy were left in the office, Professor X said slowly:
"Roy, don't you hate the official?"
Forehead......
Roy didn't expect Professor X to ask this out of the blue.
After thinking for a few seconds, he said calmly:
"It's not annoying."
"I just don't trust them very much."
Just don't believe it?
Although there was no way to use telepathy to read Roy's true thoughts, Professor X knew that Roy was speaking too tactfully.
They may not be able to hear the laser eyes.
But to Professor X, Roy's words just now almost didn't directly say that the president would send troops to attack the school.
"It's true that the authorities are not doing very well in matters related to mutants."
"But they do it because they're on the side of humanity."
"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!"
"Roy, you are a flower grower, this sentence should not be unfamiliar."
"So even if the authorities can't treat mutants fairly right now, I hope you can understand them."
"I'm not asking you to give up your right to fight completely, I just want you to give them a little more patience."
Professor X said to Roy with a kind face.
Professor X's remarks cannot be said to be unreasonable.
But Roy didn't approve of it.
He can understand why the authorities can't be completely impartial when dealing with the mutant problem.
He can also understand why ordinary people are hostile to mutants.
But that doesn't mean he thinks it's reasonable for mutants to face injustice.
These are two different things.
"Professor, just because I have that kind of patience doesn't mean they will."
"I admire and respect your contributions to mutants, Professor."
"However, I still think that the professor sometimes trusts the officials too much."
"It is true that mutants and ordinary people can coexist peacefully, but this peace is not achieved by compromise and concession."
Roy looked at Professor X with a serious face and said slowly.
Of course, he knew that Professor X had a hard time and had a lot to worry about.
But no matter how you look at it, he feels that Professor X lacks some toughness.
Let's take a simple example.
If Professor X could be a little tougher and domineering, even if he gave William Stryker ten more dares, he wouldn't dare to attack the school's idea.
Nuclear weapons or something, in front of the combination of Professor X and the brainwave enhancement machine, is not much different from the wooden stick of a primitive man.
Professor X and the brainwave intensifier are not just weapons of mass destruction.
Weapons of Extermination!
A weapon of extermination that can completely disappear a race in a short period of time!
If Professor X and Magneto's superpowers were exchanged, it would not be mutants who are facing discrimination and injustice now, but ordinary humans.
"Compromise and concession do not lead to real peace."
"But being tough and domineering will also lead to true peace."
"You're still young, and you might think that an old man like me is too weak."
"But I really don't want you to be the second Eric."
The Eric in Professor X's mouth is none other than Magneto.
Although Roy's current strength is far less harmful than Magneto's.
But Professor X knew that if he left it alone and allowed Roy to be hostile to officials and ordinary people, he would sooner or later become a second Magneto.
"Don't worry, Professor."
"Just because I don't like the officials of the beautiful country doesn't mean that I'm hostile to ordinary people."
Roy said calmly.
"It's for the best."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do, you can go back first."
Professor X continued.
"Okay, Professor."
With that, Roy left the office and headed towards the dormitory.
As soon as he returned to his dormitory, the voice of the system sounded in his head.
"Main Quest: School Defense!"
"Mission content: Repel the armed forces attacking the school tonight and successfully defend the school!"
"Reward: Domineering!"
……
Looking at the task panel in front of him, a satisfied smile appeared on Roy's face.
It's finally here!
The system has finally released its first main quest!
