011 The first battle of young people

With the smell of gunpowder from another world, Eric quietly returned to the place where he now lives.

Not long ago, he returned to the world under the control of the Lord God to get something.

As a reincarnator who successfully passed the level, he had the privilege of not being included in the scope of attention by the main god. Originally, this was just to reward the winner and no longer be played with by the existence in the dark. However, Magneto's bloodline has undergone a wonderful change in him. Now he has become a living bug. With the help of his keen perception of the magnetic field, he can use the uncut watch produced by the main god space to find the time and space coordinates of the plot worlds that he had experienced through secret connections, and then open the channel to the anode.

There have been more than once such actions, and no one can notice them.

He just now slipped back to a certain world, and the place where he came was the place where he had completed his mission and returned to the main god space to report. He had disappeared from here in the plot. The characters' shocked eyes, and now they silently returned to their original place.

But everything has begun again. In the research base hidden deep underground, no one will remember his appearance, nor will the man who was fascinated by his invisible ability sneakily touched his back and attacked him.

What he had to do was to take the research results that scientists had learned in full view of the public.

It was no difficulty, he got what he wanted, and then he got away from his hatred and fearful sight and returned to his bedroom in the college.

The wind gently blew the curtains, and the afternoon sun still shone on my bed. The melodious sound of the music box slowly stretched out. The world seemed to have frozen for a quarter of an hour when it left, and then continued to flow forward.

Eric lay on the bed, playing with the things he retrieved this time in his hand, smiling very comfortably.

***

In the academy, young people scattered in an open area, each training their own abilities.

Mutants have different abilities. Some people only need a small space to display, while others need to be more troublesome. According to their abilities, a long corridor may be needed to allow them to directly release the energy they emit, or they may be a region to exert their vigorous energy. Fortunately, they are not many people and can always accommodate them on the ground.

Starting from the professor, the college’s tutors always want students to control their own strength as much as possible, so self-training is an indispensable course.

But today most young people are absent-minded.

It’s not because they are not focused. It’s because Eric doesn’t have enough professionalism.

He should have guided the students on how to treat their strength correctly and how to perform their abilities well, but in this first class, he was late.

Now the temporary guidance of the storm woman Ororo is for him. In order to fulfill her responsibilities instead of Eric, she had to give up the X-Men activities and stay in the academy for substitutes.

"John, beware of your flame, it is about to fly to Baby's hair." The students were lively and active, and if they were not careful for a while, they would cause some trouble.

"Peter, you're a little smaller. Do you want the little naughty to take away your iron steel bars?"

Ororo kept reminding young people, but today it seemed that their concentration was much lower than usual, and their eyes looked here from time to time.

Ororo looked at his clothes in confusion, and it seemed that there was no problem. Did he make a mistake in makeup? Unfortunately, he didn't wear a mirror on his body.

Just as she was wondering, she found that there was a careless guy standing next to her at some point. The truth was revealed. It turned out that the students were looking at the new tutor.

"Eric, where have you been mysteriously going these two days? The children are waiting for you to attend class." Ororo said to Eric.

Eric threw the glass bottle in his hand, while looking at the young man in practice, and said casually:

"I went to another world and brought back some local specialties."

A small glass bottle containing the potion floated in the air, flying up and down, and the transparent bottle body emitted a golden reflection under the sunlight.

Ororo was a little puzzled, and then attracted by the floating glass bottle.

"What's going on with this bottle? You can only..." She was interrupted by Eric as soon as she was halfway through her question.

"How long have they been receiving such training?" he asked, pointing to the curious young people.

"There are more than five or six years, and the shortest are two or three years, which is much better than when they first came." Ororo answered with his question.

"Indeed, it can't be said to be some inexperienced little hairies." Eric said, his eyes swept over the students present.

Among these young people, there are "iceman" Baby who can make and control ice and convert the body into ice. She has Omega-level potential. There are John who can control flames and is passionate and impulsive. There are Phantom Cat Katie. She can change the microstructure of herself and the objects she touches to penetrate various solids. There are also Lorna Darn, who is actually the daughter of Magneto, and her abilities are very close to her father and Eric.

Of course there is also a little naughty. She smiled at Eric in the crowd. Although her ability is a bit dangerous, the lively and beautiful young girl can attract the attention of the boys. Iceman Baby is standing beside her and talking to her.

As Eric looked at his students, his students were also looking at him.

Unlike other tutors who always wear a scrupulous uniform in class, Eric dressed up very casually. His upper body was an ordinary gray sweatshirt and his jeans underneath, and his expression looked relaxed, just like a morning practitioner who had just finished running and returned home. He was not like a skilled mutant senior at all.

If it weren't for the people present who saw that he turned the tide that night and expelled Stryker and his gang from the academy, it would be really hard to accept such a guy coming to teach them.

Ororo did not expect Eric to appear like this. The main reason why she strictly required herself to wear uniforms to attend classes with other policemen was that she wanted to make herself look serious so as not to be intimidated enough and could not suppress these students who were not very old. If the situation could not be suppressed, the classroom would easily turn into a free party, which would be bad. Now looking at Eric, I hope he would not turn teaching into a game later.

Clapping his hands, Eric stopped training and gathered his students.

The girls were very well-behaved and quickly got closer. The boys were slow and got together in groups of three or three.

"What do you think he will teach us, how to be late for class without punishment?" John the Fire Man pouted behind the crowd.

"Don't say that, you forgot how he defeated the enemy that day." Baby persuaded his friend.

"He is just a trick. If I had been careful at that time, I might have turned defeat into victory. Now it's my turn to be a mentor." John said stubbornly.

"Shh!" The girls in the front row asked them to shut up.

Everyone started to wait for the first speech of the new tutor to take office. To be fair, Eric still made them look forward to it. After all, the new tutor has a unique understanding of the use of abilities, and even the professor is deeply admired. Even a proud and unruly boy like Huo Ren wants to know some tricks to use abilities from him to enhance himself.

But what Eric wants to say today is not this, and it has nothing to do with the course.

"I am the new mentor Eric. Many people present should know that I am from another world. Compared with others, my ability is average but I can do many things that strong people cannot do. Why? Because I have rich imagination and experience. I will help you develop imagination step by step, but experience cannot be obtained by practicing on the training ground alone, so I plan to assign you some special homework."

"I received the message that a giant python appeared in a nearby river, which scared the local residents. The police had no choice but to do it. The National Guard came but it was useless. I want to bring some people to kill it. Who will go with me?"

After Eric said that, the people present were almost petrified.

No one expected that his first speech would be to take someone to kill a big snake, and even the boy who likes to cause trouble was stunned.

"Wait, wait. Eric!" Ororo woke up and hurriedly stopped him.

"It's class time now, what do you want to do? How can there be big snakes nearby? Even if there are, they are all children. Do you want to take a group of children to take risks?"

Eric shrugged and said, "In my opinion, they have almost done their training, and they will not make any progress by training. It is time to carry out practical teaching."

Ororo said angrily: "We don't need to interfere in the outside world, the army will solve it. If it really doesn't work, there are superheroes. They just need to stay on campus."

"Stay on campus?" Eric smiled. "Ororo, look at these young people, they are not young anymore. Do you want them to stay on campus forever?"

"It's dangerous outside. Humans reject us and try every means to capture mutants. I won't agree with you to take them out." Ororo insisted on objecting.

"Because of this, mutants are always curled up in this small circle and are suspected by humans."

Eric pushed Ororo away and walked to the students.

"I often think about what mutants are and what is our relationship with humans."

"Biologically speaking, mutant refers to a mutated species produced by gene mutations, and is also interpreted as a deformity, but we know that we are not deformities, but people with talent and ability."

"The ability makes us different from ordinary people, so we are rejected. We suffer persecution year after year, and this persecution continues to deepen. Because of fear of persecution, mutants stay away from society and gather together to keep warm, but this is by no means a long-term solution. We must integrate into society and become a member of human beings. We should take the initiative to tell human beings that we are not monsters or deformities. We are pioneers of evolution and protectors of human beings. Only in this way can we break through the cage that blocks us."

"Look around you, remember how long you have been here. Stay away from your family, leave society, live in fear and uneasiness, endure other people's suspicion and cold eyes, you can continue this kind of life, be protected by other people's wings, day after day, year after year, or choose to break the rules with me, take risks, and try to embrace the world."

"Today, I will step out of the academy and rescue the humans who are harmed by the giant snake, and then tell them: I am a mutant, no matter what difficulties can stop me, you can stay in a safe academy and study in the classroom, but I hope someone dares to stand up for his fellow countrymen and take risks with me."

After Eric finished speaking, looking at the students' reactions, the young faces were full of longing and confusion. They thought fiercely and chose life in hesitation.

Finally someone stood up, it turned out to be the always steady ice man Baby, not the frivolous and impatient John.

"My home is in Boston. I've been in college for two years. I have mom, dad and a younger brother, Ronnie. My parents always thought I was in preparatory courses. My younger brother hates mutants. I never dared to tell them what I was doing, but I really want to go home. I want to tell them I'm a mutant and then go back to my old life..."

Baby missed the past, and his eyes changed from confusion to firmness.

"Teacher Eric, if you can make me live like the past, I will follow you."

Baby's words touched the students. Whether they were waiting for their families or not, they all yearned for a normal life. The trauma caused people to retreat, but they could not take away their desire for a better life. One after another, the students walked out of the ranks.

"I also want to go home to see if my cruel parents still remember me." A girl smiled with tears.

"I want to buy new clothes and have a big meal. I've had enough of the college cafeteria." Her friend replied with a smile.

"I hate being so sensational and uncomfortable. I'll join too." John the Fire Man couldn't help but walk out.

Not long after, no one stayed there.

Seeing such a scene, Ororo never felt so helpless. She could control the wind and rain to call for thunder and fly high in the air, just like a goddess on earth, but she was unprecedentedly powerless in the face of the students who expressed her desire in her heart.

This is an unstoppable trend. Eric provoked the flames in their hearts. Now who can let them be extinguished?

"Maybe the professor will come back and discuss..." Ororo said weakly.
Chapter completed!
