The main building meeting room.

Storm, Iceman, and the others sat across from Roy, trying to persuade him to discourage him from quitting the X-Men.

They found reason after reason and tried to instill in him the benefits of staying in the X-Men.

Not only that, but they even started painting cakes for him.

For example, if he stays with the X-Men, he has a good chance of becoming the new captain of the X-Men, and even takes over the responsibilities of Professor X and becomes the new principal of the mutant school.

Although their attitude was sincere and fully expressed their reluctance to him, Roy was unmoved.

He doesn't change his mind easily when it comes to deciding something good.

What's more, he's really getting a little tired of it now.

The mutant school did provide him with a certain amount of shelter in the early stage, giving him a development time that was not disturbed by the outside world, and allowing him to pass through the "novice period" safely.

But he also gave the mutant school enough in return.

If nothing else, let's take the last time the Phoenix girl ran out at school.

If it weren't for him, the Phoenix Girl would have killed at least half of the students that time.

If it's more serious, not only the students, but even Professor X, Storm Girl and others have a high chance of being wiped out and dying on the spot.

In addition, in the past few months, he has also used his X-Men as an X-Men to carry out missions outside, rescue imprisoned mutants, and fight various underground organizations.

Not only does he owe nothing to the Mutant School, but the Mutant School and the X-Men also owe him a lot of favors.

"Teacher Oloro, you don't need to say it, I've already decided."

"Even if I didn't have today, I should have graduated from school in a while."

"If you quit now, you can also avoid the school and the X-Men getting involved in a storm of public opinion."

Roy said to Stormtrode.

Although his tone was calm, Storm Girl could tell that he was really leaving the X-Men.

Looking at Roy, who was unmoved, the Storm Girl sighed helplessly.

Then, he said slowly:

"Professor and Logan, they're returning to school now, and we'll talk about your exit from the X-Men when they come back."

After realizing that she and the others couldn't make Roy change her mind, Stormgirl didn't waste any more words, and decisively threw the question to Professor X, who had not yet returned to school.

"I'll talk to them when they come back."

Roy said slowly.

"Uh-huh!"

Stormgirl nodded.

Then, he left the living room with Iceman and Colossus and others.

Clarice didn't leave with Stormgirl.

When only herself and Roy were left in the living room, Clarice said slowly:

"Are you really leaving?"

"Yes."

Roy replied.

"Where are you going next?"

"Go to Lorna?"

Clarice continued.

"I don't think it will be anytime soon, but I haven't figured out where I'm going to go next."

"It doesn't matter, let's take it one step at a time."

Roy replied with a casual expression.

With his current strength, he can go wherever he wants.

Even if you go to the White House in Washington, there is no problem.

"That...... Can I leave with you? ”

"I'm almost graduating, and if you leave school, I want to leave with you."

Clarice looked at Roy with a serious face and said a little shyly.

"Are you sure you want to come with me?"

"Life after leaving school is not as easy as you think."

"What's more, after quitting the X-Men, no matter what happens, you can only find a way to solve it yourself, and there will be no help from others, have you really thought about it?"

Clarice wants to leave school with her, and Roy is not surprised.

But he felt the need to make it clear to Clarice.

Leaving a mutant school isn't just about living in a different place.

"I've thought about it, and I definitely won't regret it."

Clarice said quickly.

Looking at Clarice with a determined face, Roy sighed slightly.

Then, he said slowly:

"Now that you've decided, let's leave together."

"Uh-huh!"

Clarice nodded happily.

An hour later.

Professor X and Wolverine and the others return to school.

The first thing Professor X did when he returned to school was to call Roy to the principal's office.

On the way back to school, he had already figured out how to convince Roy to stay.

However, things turned out completely differently than he expected.

Roy listened to his words with a serious face.

Then, without even thinking about it, I refused.

Professor X thought that his persuasion would make Roy change his mind a little.

But Roy proved to be harder to fool than his peers.

Not only that, but because Roy is immune to psychic powers, Professor X has not been able to "convince" him with his superpowers.

After a not-so-lengthy conversation, Roy's departure from the mutant school was set for three days later.

According to Professor X, even if he leaves the mutant school, he needs to say goodbye to the others.

In addition, before he officially leaves the school, Professor X will help him deal with a series of problems caused by the killing of "feminist" members in the street.

Although Roy doesn't care much about the next storm of public opinion, since Professor X is willing to take the initiative to help solve this problem, he will not refuse.

What he didn't expect, though, was that not long after he came out of the principal's office, he received a bunch of invitations from other organizations.

He was invited by official organizations such as S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Department of Homeland Security, as well as civil organizations such as the Brotherhood of Mutants.

The biggest surprise to him was that he received an invitation from the Hellfire Club.

Although he didn't know where the Hellfire Club got his contact information.

However, the Hellfire Club gave him a condition that would appeal to the vast majority of mutants.

$500 million per year, plus membership in the core group.

According to the Hellfire Club, as long as he joins, he is the new White King of the Hellfire Club.

Of course, if he doesn't like the position of White King, Bishop White can do it.

In addition, after joining the Hellfire Club, as a core member, he can get the maximum support of the Hellfire Club.

On the face of it, the Hellfire Club is indeed sincere.

But Roy declined the invitation to the Hellfire Club without even thinking about it.

Even if he were to join another organization, he would join a more promising organization.

For the average mutant, the Hellfire Club is no less powerful organization than the X-Men.

But for Roy, the Hellfire Club is just that.

The Hellfire Club does have some abilities, but the Hellfire Club also has a significant drawback.

That is, the Hellfire Club lacks high-level combat power in the true sense of the word.

In the comics, Dark Phoenix, Magneto, Mephisto's son Blackheart, and Satan's son Hellstorm all joined the Hellfire Club for a while.

But that's in the comics.

In this universe now, the Hellfire Club has been going downhill since the death of Black King Shaw.

Although they have recruited quite a few mutants to join, the mutants they have recruited are very ordinary.

Otherwise, the positions of the White King and the White Bishop would not have been vacant forever.

Not only that, Roy now has reason to suspect that not only are the positions of the White King and the White Bishop vacant, but also the positions of the Black King, the Black Queen, and the Black Bishop are now very likely to be vacant.
