Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 59 The College's Post-Professor Era
Jack and Benjamin chatted late into the night in the Oval Office of the White House, and then Benjamin invited Jack to stay overnight at the White House.

This is one of the characteristics of Benjamin's administration. He likes to stay guests in the White House. However, he was the Prime Minister of England or the President of France before, and Jack was the lowest among them.

But Jack gave too much!

Lying in the guest room of the White House, Jack suddenly remembered the question he asked Mark in the car,
"Is my life boring?"

Thinking about it now, it's a bit ridiculous and hypocritical. How can a life where you can chat and laugh with the President of the United States be boring.

The next day, Jack left the White House under Benjamin's yearning gaze.

Long Island Estate, New York.

Rhodes had been waiting impatiently in the manor.

As the Minister of Air Force Equipment, although Rhodes' military rank is not high, he has a lot of power. Similarly, he has a lot of responsibilities and work. If it wasn't for the holographic simulation combat system, he would not have stayed in New York for such a long time.

Fortunately, Jack finally came back.

Before Jack could catch his breath, Rhodes blocked the door.

"Can I have something to eat? The White House didn't prepare my breakfast. In order not to make you wait any longer, I had to run all the way back to New York. Mark can prove it to me."

Jack said and pointed to Mark.

Although work is very important, it is obviously impossible for Rhodes not to let Jack eat.

So when Jack was eating, there was a black man with puffed cheeks beside him.

After eating something in a hurry, Jack and his party drove to New Jersey.

This is the first time Jack has come to X Academy since the professor was assassinated.

The school, which used to be full of laughter and laughter from teenagers, became quiet. Several little mutants hurried away after seeing the three of Jack.

Jack frowned and looked at the somewhat desolate school. The school has not changed much. The scenery is still so beautiful, and the people are still the same group of people. It's just that everyone knows that this place is different. Their most beloved principal is gone.

The three of Jack walked all the way to the building, only to meet Storm Ororo head-on.

Ororo's expression was relatively calm, but there was a trace of sadness that was not easy to find on the corner of her brow. She first said:

"Mr. Jack, Hank asked you to go directly to him in the laboratory."

In Academy X, the only teachers that Jack can admire are Ororo and Hank. He tries to make his tone more sad,
"Ororo, my condolences."

"Thank you." Storm obviously didn't want to talk too much, she thanked politely and walked out of the building.

Jack was helpless, although he really wanted to get closer to Storm, but the other party didn't have such a mood at the moment.

The professor is the pillar of the college, and now that the pillar has been removed, X College needs time to recover.

Jack took Rhodes to Hank the Beast's laboratory familiarly.

The style of the new laboratory has not changed much, and it still adopts the all-metal style. In Jack’s view, although the X Academy is maintained by the professor, it is invisibly influenced by Magneto, perhaps because Magneto is also X. One of the founders of the college.

Beast Hank is currently busy with a bunch of machines.

Jack stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder,

"Hello, Dr. Hank."

Only then did Hank the Beast discover Jack's arrival. He took off his glasses and said apologetically,
"Welcome, Jack, I'm busy here, so I didn't go to the gate to greet you."

Jack noticed that Hank's eyes were bloodshot, obviously he had been working for a long time,

"We're friends, Hank."

"Of course, you will always be our mutant friend."

Although Hank has a beast-like appearance, he is quite a refined person.If it weren't for his scary appearance, he would have been a good professor at the university.

Jack couldn't see the expression on Hank the Beast's face, after all, he had blue hair all over his face, but Jack could still guess the impact of the professor's death on Hank, so he decided to persuade Hank,
"Hank, the professor is gone, we have to accept this reality."

"I thought that if I put my heart and soul into my work, no one would tell me this cruel reality." Hanke said with self-deprecation.

"Everyone has to look forward."

"Of course, we will uphold the professor's behest." Hank's tone was very low, and he waved his hand, as if wanting to shake off the shadow of the professor's death.

"The holographic simulation combat system has been debugged, and you can see its effect at any time."

Hank brought the topic back to the point.

Having said that, Rhodes, who has been playing the invisible man behind Jack, regained his spirit. He stepped forward and introduced himself, saying,

"Dr. Hank, I am Air Force Colonel Rhodes, and I have been ordered to check the holographic simulation combat system."

Hank glanced at Rhode indifferently, turned around and walked to the other side of the laboratory,
"If you want to see it, go into that room."

Jack knew that Hank the Beast still had resentment against the military. After all, if it wasn't for Stryker, the professor wouldn't have died, and Stryker is a member of the Pentagon, so it is his self-cultivation that Hank can not hate Rhodes. Extraordinary.

Rhodes was embarrassed, but he didn't express anything. After all, he was someone who had been in contact with Tony all year round, and he had seen more embarrassing scenes.

As Rhodes walked into the room where the simulation system was located, Jack walked to Beast Hank,

"Hank, the Pentagon has expelled Stryker from the military. He is now a traitor. I believe the military will catch him soon."

"So what? Can the professor be resurrected?" Hank sneered.

Although Jack was hated, he was very happy in his heart. It is not a good thing to suppress resentment in his heart for a long time. It is a good thing for him and mutants that Hank can say it.

"I have already suggested to the president to establish a Department of Mutant Affairs and recommended Katie to be the minister."

Hank looked at Jack in surprise,
"Katie? She's only sixteen..."

"Hank, mutants need a non-aggressive, friendly external image." Jack explained.

"Of course, who can accept a man with blue hair who looks like an orangutan as a minister," Hank laughed at himself, and then said,
"Can Katie do it?"

Jack nodded affirmatively.

In fact, the so-called Mutant Affairs Department is nothing more than a front-stage image made in accordance with the will of the people. This point is tacitly understood by Jack and the president. If it involves specific matters related to mutants, can it really listen to the opinions of a 16-year-old girl?

And, for Jack, a 16-year-old girl is clearly more likely to be influenced and controlled than an adult.

But these things can only go around in Jack's mind. At X Academy, Jack must firmly tell everyone that Katie is the most suitable candidate.

Hank is an honest man, he believed Jack's words.

"If possible, please protect Katie, she is still a child."

"I will."

Hank nodded his thanks, and then operated the computer to shut down the simulation system.

Not long after, Rhode walked out of the room with a look of disbelief.
"Dr. Hank, this technology is beyond the times. I really thought I was on the battlefield just now, and I even felt pain."

Hank said with a cold face, "I didn't add a pain sensory nerve sensor module to the system, so that's just your illusion."

Rhodes put a cold butt on his hot face, very embarrassed.

Jack has no good way to do this, at least in the future, the people of X Academy will not have any good looks towards the military.

Sure enough, Hank took out a hard drive and handed it to Jack.

"Here is all the design information of the system, you go, I want to work."

Jack took it solemnly,

"Hank, pay attention to rest, I will visit you next time."

Hank nodded as a greeting.

The dull atmosphere made Jack dare not stay longer in the academy. He took Rhodes back to Mark's car and returned to Long Island.
