123. Unexpected development, the joke of the Creator
"I guess so."
Roy replied somewhat uncertainly.
Although Magneto is now quite spoiled by Lorna, he can't wait to make up for all the debts he owed to Lorna at once.
But even if Magneto did do that, Lorna shouldn't never come back.
Either way, Lorna isn't that heartless.
"And when will she be back?"
Clarice continued.
"Uh...... I don't know about that. ”
Roy replied quickly.
When will Lorna get tired of staying on Magneto's side, this question, it is estimated that even Lorna herself does not know the answer.
"Okay."
Although Lorna's sudden departure was a bit regrettable, Clarice was very understanding and did not continue to ask.
"By the way, I'm going to New York tomorrow with Professor and Teacher Jean."
"If nothing else, I'm going to be in New York for a while."
Now that he had come to tell Clarice about Lorna's departure, Roy told him about leaving the school tomorrow.
Compared to Lorna, Clarice usually doesn't seem to be as proactive.
But Roy knew that this little girl had always cared about his every move.
Even if Clarice didn't like him, even if it was just from the perspective of classmates and friends, Roy felt that it would be better to talk to Clarice.
It's not a good habit to say goodbye without saying goodbye.
Clarice looked at Roy suspiciously, curiosity written on her delicate fair little face.
Although curious about what Roy was going to do in New York tomorrow, Clarice kept her curiosity under control.
In her opinion, Roy did not explicitly say what he was going to New York tomorrow to do, which meant that Roy thought that now was not the time to tell her the truth.
If it was Lorna, at such a time, she would definitely continue to ask questions without saying a word until the truth of the matter was clarified.
But Clarice is not Lona.
She's not as proactive as Lorna, and she's not as flamboyant as Lorna, but she's more empathetic than Lorna and knows when to do and what not to do.
To put it simply, there is no pressure when you get along with Clarice.
In this respect, Clarice coincides perfectly with Roy's image of a gentle and virtuous traditional flower grower.
A few minutes later.
Roy leaves Clarice's dormitory.
When he was still in Clarice's dormitory, he sensed a large group of girls gathered in the corridor outside the dormitory.
Although he had already sensed it, after coming out of Clarice's dormitory, he still complained silently in his heart when he saw these girls aged from eleven or twelve to seventeen or eighteen throwing "attention salutes" at him at the same time.
Are they all so idle?
Is the homework done, or have the superpowers been practiced to the point of being like an arm?
Although he is not a formal teacher at the school, he is only a teaching assistant.
But at this time, he was still like a real teacher, and he had the idea that hatred of iron could not become steel.
He ignored the stares of the girls and planned to go straight back to the dormitory.
However, he still underestimated the girls in the beautiful country.
He had barely taken a few steps when two blonde girls came up to him at the same time and handed him pink envelopes that had been prepared for an unknown time.
Not again!
Because he never confirmed his relationship with Clarice and Lorna, and he never replied to any of the girls.
And so, things started to go in a direction he didn't expect.
He thought that if he didn't reply, it would be equivalent to a tacit refusal.
But he overlooked one very important thing.
That is, the culture of the flower grower is completely different from that of the beautiful country.
Those girls who had sent him love letters but didn't receive a reply didn't regard his non-reply as a tacit rejection, but as he couldn't bear to make other girls sad, so he didn't reply to any of the girls.
Roy didn't know what kind of brain circuitry they had to come to such a conclusion.
But he soon experienced even more frantic delivery behavior than before.
looked at the two in front of him who looked good, and their figures were okay, and they even deliberately spent some careful thought on dressing, revealing the small waist, long legs, and blonde girl with the "abyss" on her chest.
Roy hesitated for a moment.
In the end, he accepted the pink envelope they handed him.
Alas!
He still can't bear to let the girl who is just starting to fall in love lose face in public!
After accepting the pink envelope from the two blonde girls, he hastened his pace back to the dormitory.
Even so, when he returned to his dorm, the number of envelopes in his hand had gone from two to five.
After closing the door to the dormitory, he threw all five envelopes in his hand into the system space.
I thought you were students, but you coveted my body!
That's not good!
Very bad!
……
The next morning.
Roy and Professor X take the Phoenix Girl and the leech to New York.
In the beginning, Professor X just asked Storm Girl to fly them in a Blackbird fighter.
But Wolverine, the faithful licking dog of the Phoenix Girl, followed in vain.
Although he was helpless, after seeing the expression on Wolverine's face that the phoenix girl would go wherever I went, Professor X still took Wolverine with him.
It's better to take Wolverine with you than to sneak out of school and catch up.
The headquarters of the Fantastic Four.
Baxter Building.
Because they had already contacted Mr. Fantastic Reid in advance, Roy and his party easily arrived at the most important upper floor of Baxter Building.
The upper floors of the Baxter Building are both the living quarters of the Fantastic Four and others, as well as the location of Mr. Fantastic's Reed Laboratory.
Living room on the top floor.
Mr. Fantastic Reed sat on one side, while Roy sat on the other.
Although he had already known Professor X's intention in advance, after seeing the living leeches appear in front of him, Mr. Fantastic Reed couldn't help but sigh at the Creator's magic.
A mutant who can suppress the superpowers of other mutants!
It looks like the Creator deliberately played a joke on mutants.
After looking at the leeches that were a little reserved, Mr. Fantastic Reed spoke:
"Since Charles, you trust me so much, then I can't help with this favor."
"However, the field of genes and biology is not my particular expertise, if you fail to meet Charles's requirements by then, I hope you will forgive me in advance."
"Reed, I'm already grateful for your willingness to help."
"Whatever the final result, I will thank you for your dedication and help."
Professor X said quickly.
Although the conversation between the two of them sounded fine, it was just ordinary greetings and politeness.
But Roy heard something different.
He didn't know that there was a Illuminati in this world, so when he first met Mr. Fantastic Reed, he didn't think much of it.
But now, knowing that the Illuminati existed, and that Mr. Fantastic Reed was most likely a member of the Illuminati, he had reason to suspect that Mr. Fantastic and Professor X had secretly reached some kind of agreement.
