061 Hearing
Finding a new mutant is undoubtedly a worthy thing for Eric. Xavier Academy has always been more concerned about those desperate mutants, and maintaining a strategy of not contacting or interfering with the numerous and decent similarities. This conservative management method makes the college lack some students. Whenever Eric comes to the playground and sees only a few senior students and a group of little kids training in the empty academy, he is a little worried. The college's background is not as what outsiders think
Such a profound and very limited power college is carrying the future of most mutants. He cannot change the college's strategy, and he is not as capable as a professor who can use his powerful mental ability to actively explore on a large scale through a brain wave search machine. He can only try his luck in the vision range through his own magnetic field vision. It is conceivable how efficient this way of search is. Now a very talented girl is automatically packaged by her parents and he simply wants to sing a song to express his inner joy.
Rejected the Warren family's dinner, and it was late at night when Eric returned to the college. This time the students all went back to rest, and only the professors were waiting for him in the hall.
"What happened?" As soon as he entered the hall, Eric found a strange atmosphere. From the professor, Hank, Scott, Qin, Ororo and others were all there, and Ms. Mora McTagot also came. The professor's ex-girlfriend and the college tutors sat around the sofa, whispering something, each of them looked solemn. They stopped when they saw Eric entering the door.
The professor greeted him and sat down, and then Ms. Mora spoke for him.
The thing is this: As Eric and his students appeared in front of the public one after another, they attracted public attention, Congress finally woke up from their sluggishness, broke its usual silence, and decided to hold a hearing to discuss how to deal with the mutant problem.
As a party, one party should be invited to attend. Considering the radical strategies of the brotherhood in the two major organizations of Mutants and the current situation where their leaders are serving sentences in top-secret prisons for crimes, Xavier Academy, another powerful mutant organization, has become a representative of this group. This is also natural. Regarding the degree of widespread praise among the mutant groups, the college deserves its reputation as a representative.
But there is a technical problem here.
This question is the security of the MPs. As we all know, the birth of a noble MP was fought on the backbone of many losers, and there were countless dangers in it. Once people reached a high position, the difficulties they had experienced in the past became a fear of fate. They were less willing to take risks than those who were still fighting at the bottom. Since the MPs knew that the professor was a powerful spiritual controller, who would be willing to get close to this dangerous alien who could influence people's hearts?
The answer is no one.
Even if they know that the professor can do this outside of sight, they are unwilling to take risks in person.
So in the report received by Congress, Eric, who was relatively weak, received attention, and he was very honored to be able to represent the mutant in place of the professor.
"I thought they would choose Hank, after all, he has been dealing with some departments for many years." Eric did not object, but was just a little curious.
Hank spread his hands and expressed helplessness. Ms. Mora said for him: "Most of the members of the parliamentarians do not know him. Some people thought Hank was more aggressive after seeing his photos, so they refused to attend as a representative. We had to choose someone else. You appeared on TV many times and accepted an exclusive interview with Christine. The outside world knows you. They asked you to attend the hearing. The hearing notice has been entrusted to me."
Eric took the notice sent by Ms. Mora and glanced at it, which stated some related matters. The hearing was chaired by the committee chairman and Republican Senator Bill Stone. Some witnesses will be present at that time. In order to ensure disclosure, the meeting will make the public informed through newspapers, websites, television, radio, community bulletin boards and other means. There are at least three large newspapers and more than two TV channels publicly reported.
"The only trouble now is that they ask you to be subject to some restraints to reduce risks." Ms. Mora carefully spoke and said the other party's request. "They ask you to wear a specially made cloak and secure it in your position when you attend the testimony, otherwise the committee will refuse to hold a hearing for the sake of the safety of the attendees."
After she said carefully, everyone present nervously paid attention to Eric, fearing that he would be angry and rejected because of this insulting request, which would make all his efforts was wasted and the opponents' wishes were fulfilled. But Eric did not do that. He pondered for a while, nodded and agreed.
Everyone felt relieved and finally took a breath.
"I will attend on time, and do what they ask." Eric said with a smile as if nothing had happened. "Some people probably thought I would be irritated, but compared with the sufferings my compatriots suffered, what is this insignificant humiliation? Is it false that what we usually say is willing to sacrifice for our compatriots? I will never retreat because of their rude requests. I will argue with them honestly, publish our evidence, and convey our demands to the public through hearings."
Eric's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his attitude was righteous. After hearing his words, the professor nodded frequently. He could see that Eric did not tell lies, and Hank also came over and gave him a hug, feeling that he had not seen the wrong person.
"Are you really going to obey their arrangement?" Ororo approached him and asked in a low voice as everyone praised.
Eric did not answer, patted her on the shoulder, gave her a smile, and then returned to his room.
As soon as he entered the door, he almost wanted to laugh out loud.
It's amazing how these politicians come up with such a brilliant idea.

Humans are all pity to the weak. No matter what they think in their hearts, they will at least cry at the tragedy that happened to others on the surface.
Human beings admire the strong again, and they will admire the warriors who conquer difficulties and smile at life.
When these two emotions are mixed together, Eric's career will reduce a lot of resistance. Perhaps many people will not help him for a while, but they will not take the initiative to send him to cause trouble.
"I really deserve to thank them." In the dark bedroom, Eric's eyes shone brightly. He said to himself, unable to suppress the joy in his heart.
He knew that from the moment he officially attended the hearing, no one could deny that he was a genuine mutant rights fighter.
He finally had an identity that could exist alone from the academy.
The next morning, Mr. Fighter received an unexpected help.
"Medical Group?" He looked at Hank suspiciously. The Beaster was entrusted by someone to bring a man to meet him and discuss the hearing in a few days.
"Yes." Hank nodded. "An old friend who helped us a lot has sent an envoy, and he wants to meet you alone."
Eric agreed to him and agreed to meet with the representative of the hospital group.
Not long after, the representative gentleman came to Eric's room.
This is a gentleman in a camel-yellow workwear. He is about fifty years old, with a strong figure, big and vivid eyes, and half of his golden beard covered with golden beards. He looks like a fierce lion, but his smile is sunny, and there is a strong infectious force that makes you feel good about him. He walked very quickly, and under Hank's guidance, he walked into the room with a gust of wind. When he saw Eric, he took the initiative to extend his hand to express his kindness.
His hands were warm and powerful, making people feel that his inner self was much younger than his appearance.
When the two of them held hands, Eric looked at the visitor, and the visitor was also looking at Eric, silently outlining Eric's image in his heart. Unless confused by the gentleness of his appearance, the visitor with rich negotiations sensitively realized the toughness under Eric's gentle appearance through his firm eyes and the dry and powerful hand, and at the same time, he adjusted his strategy subtly in his heart.
"Lynch Moglani." The visitor reported his name. "I am honored to be a director of the American Medical Association and the American Medical Research and Production Association."
The National Medical Association and the American Medical Research and Production Association are the two lobby groups that medical interest groups invest the most each year. They communicate with lawmakers to express their demands through lobbying and petitioning, or use various means to convince lawmakers or regulators that the lobbyists are correct, thereby protecting their interests in the legislative process. There are more than 2,000 lobbyists serving the health system every year, and on average, four lobbyists are taken care of by each member of Congress. These groups spent $200 million in the first half of last year, including expenses paid to lobby companies, of which pharmaceutical manufacturers paid half.
It is easy to imagine how broad the relationship and strength of the ability to be a member of two lobby groups at the same time.
Such a character appears at Xavier Academy, which is an intriguing thing in itself.
Why did he come? Who did he come on behalf of? Why did he come at this time?
With a series of questions, Eric smiled and asked the gentleman to sit down, and then they got to the point.
Chapter completed!
