Chapter 8: Hawking the Eater
......
When Aurore saw the three of Hawking, the expression on his face immediately became gentle, and he smiled and raised his hand to say hello.
"Welcome to Xavier School for the Gifted and Young, I'm sure you'll love it."
After saying hello, she followed Professor X's instructions and went to find the other teachers to gather.
Hawking also identified the female teacher through her name and characteristics.
"Storm Girl, a top-level Level 3 mutant who can control the weather in a small area and summon lightning, storm, and ice attacks."
There are a total of five levels of mutants, with level 1 being the lowest and level 5 being the highest.
Under normal circumstances, the level of mutants is innately determined, but most of them cannot fully control their abilities at first, and the power they show is not as good as their own level, and they need to be developed slowly.
For example, a second-level mutant whose apex is level two, and a third-level mutant may only show the power of level two, but after training and development, he can eventually grow to level three.
However, low-level mutants don't necessarily fail to defeat high-level mutants.
This should be considered from many aspects such as the ability direction of the mutant, mentality, and personal combat experience.
Just like an auxiliary third-level mutant, he may not have beaten an offensive second-level mutant, an ordinary third-level office worker with similar abilities, and he may not have beaten a second-level battlefield veteran.
"Piot, please take the three little ones to find a room to live in, and then take them to familiarize themselves with the school."
Seeing Auroro leaving, Professor X called a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man and handed over the three Hawking to him.
The school building has seven floors, and all but a few rooms that have been converted into classrooms and special uses can be used for people.
Because it's a mutant school, all the young mutants are enrolled, so there aren't many students in the entire school, and there are only thirty-four including all the professors.
Even if it is a luxurious room per person, there are many empty rooms.
Mutants who normally graduate from school can freely choose to enter society, or they can stay in school as a teacher, or join the X-Men.
Professor X has told them all about this on the way.
"Piot, what are your abilities?"
While Piot, who seemed to have a good temper, took them on a tour and selected a room, Hawking also took the opportunity to chat, wanting to know more about the mutant school.
He has seen the mutant series of movies, but it was also a long time ago, and he still remembers the general plot and character characteristics, but many detailed things have long been forgotten.
For example, the female teacher just now, Storm Girl, he knew that she was called Storm Girl, and as for the name Oloro, he didn't remember much.
Of course, Magneto, Professor X, Wolverine, and Phoenix Girl, who are very famous, must know it.
"Well, I can transform my body into a steel-like physique, with a stronger physique, strength, and defense."
Piot laughed and activated his ability, and his entire body immediately turned a color like steel.
"Oh, that's so cool!"
Little Pietro's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but touch it, and little Wanda, who was holding one of Hawking's arms next to him, also poked his head with curiosity.
"Actually, my dream is to become an artist like Picasso, and when I have time I can paint a portrait of you."
Piot didn't mind getting started with little Pietro, and said with a smile.
"It turned out to be Colossus."
Hawking looked Piot up and down, staying in the middle for two seconds.
The hardest man among mutants!
"Just pick these three, just connect them together!"
After determining the room, putting down the luggage and roughly tidying up, the three of them walked around the school under the leadership of Colossus.
Classrooms, laboratories, canteens, gardens, swimming pools, basketball courts, football fields, and even horses and horse farms make Hawking constantly sigh that the school is really rich.
At the same time that Coulix took the three new Hawking students to visit the school, an emergency meeting was held in the school's principal's office.
"Regarding this mutant attack on the president, my thoughts must be that Magneto must have instructed someone to do it!"
Laser-eyed Scott affirmed.
And the red-haired Jean next to him shook his head:
"Scott, I don't think so."
"While Eric has the ability to manipulate all of this in prison, it doesn't make sense.
Because that will only harm his plans for mutant prosperity! ”
Professor X is clearly of the same opinion as Jean.
The Storm Girl over there raised her hand:
"It's good now, the government guys are going to move out of the mutant registration bill from last time."
"To find out what the hell is going on, you still have to find the mutant who attacked the president.
Jean and Oloro, go and bring him back.
Scott and I went to the prison to talk to Erik. ”
After some discussion, Professor X made a decision.
......
In the evening, the school cafeteria.
"Is the food here all-you-can-eat?"
Hawking's eyes began to light up as he looked at the students who were lining up one after another to eat.
Colossus smiled and nodded:
"Of course, all the food, drinks and daily necessities at the school are free, so you can eat as much as you want."
At this point, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Let's go, let's go get in line."
"Don't worry, you take Pietro and Wanda to line up to eat first, and I'll wait until everyone is finished eating."
Hawking waved his hand.
"No, there is enough food in the cafeteria, and our chef, Mr. Yog, has the ability to quickly process all the ingredients into food.
And he will buy enough ingredients for the whole school to eat for three days every time, so there will be no shortage of food. ”
Coulix knew that the three Hawking were from war-torn Sokovia, and thought it was because of the shortage of food there.
The entire mutant school, in addition to professors and students, has quite a few staff.
The staff are all mutants and former graduates of the school.
Because the ability is mostly an auxiliary type, and the upper limit is also the first or second level, there is basically no combat effectiveness, and after graduation, he can't integrate well into ordinary people in the outside society, so he chooses to stay in school and work.
Cooks who cook, gardeners who trim flowers and plants, aunts who clean and tidy up rooms, maintenance workers who repair various equipment, and so on.
Anyway, Professor X is not short of money, and the treatment is very good.
"You don't know, Hawking is a big bad wolf who can eat a lot, he can eat a lot of things in one meal!"
At this time, little Wanda stretched out his hand and gestured.
Seeing this, Hawking began to scratch her little belly:
"If you dare to say that I am the big bad wolf, then you are Little Red Riding Hood, be careful that the big bad wolf eats Little Red Riding Tyro."
Little Wanda suddenly giggled.
The little Pietro next to him also agreed with his sister's point of view, and the little face explained to Colossus seriously:
"I'm telling you, there's a universe in Hawking's belly, I've never seen him fed, maybe that's his mutant ability."
"It's so pathetic, come on, it's okay, just let go and eat."
When the kind-hearted steel force heard that Hawking had never eaten enough, his heart was filled with sympathy again, and he immediately pulled the three of them to line up together.
