Mutants' Daily Life [Comprehensive British and American]

The No.2 Freshman of X Academy

Charles couldn't help laughing at being teased over there, but Carlos almost rushed up here and fought this 'blind man'.

Fortunately, the professor was smart enough to keep back, so he avoided the dangerous situation of "blood spattering on the spot" when the enrollment turned into a fight this time.

He first used his psychic powers to shout in Carlos' head: "Stop, Carlos, come back."

Then, let Alex, who had been separated from his brother in his youth for decades, rush over to stop him.

The cold man code-named Shockwave held a child's shoulder with one hand expressionlessly, and patiently comforted both parties one by one: "Scott, I'm Alex, your own brother, do you still remember me?" ? Carlos, you go to the professor's side, he is not in good health, I don't trust him to stay alone."

Carlos had no choice but to walk away angrily.

Charles kept holding back his laughter, but seeing his angry expression, he still reached out his hand, gently held that little hand, and said affectionately as if coaxing a child: "Why are you unhappy? You did a good job Ah, Carlos."

"Liar, I didn't do a good job at all." Carlos said quite simply.

He looked a little aggrieved: "That guy named Scott said that I have no logic, bad brain, and stupid. If you didn't tell me that I can't use my ability outside casually, I would know my ability... Well, it's not that popular, at that time, I really wanted to be there, let him experience...experience...the hard-won life!"

"Come on. Carlos, you're already great."

Charles patiently and persuasively said: "You can control yourself, instead of abusing your abilities indiscriminately and doing some bad things, this is worthy of praise, you are a good boy."

"This is not something to be praised, and I don't want to be a good boy." Carlos curled his lips, and said a little frustrated: "I actually know that Apollo and the others always laughed at me in private before, laughing at me for not being like a child." God, God should be more unrestrained, instead of being scrupulous and restricting myself like me. They all laughed at my ability as useless, and they laughed at me. When I encounter problems, I will only hide behind my mother and brother..."

"No matter what the reason is, it's wrong to laugh at others. It's because they are bad, not you. People are different from beasts because they control themselves. Being able to control themselves is not something to laugh at. On the contrary, you should be proud."

Charles comforted him gently, and at the same time automatically filtered the names of the gods in Greek mythology from Carlos' mouth, although what he said was lifelike, as if there really was such a world...

He subconsciously thought about it for a few seconds, but for a while, he really couldn't think of any more appropriate explanation, so he had to put the matter on hold again.

So, he changed the topic intimately: "Actually, Carlos, it wasn't all your fault that you didn't succeed just now. There is something wrong with me."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Before I ask you to do something, I should have told you the relevant information in advance. But, I didn't."

"why?"

"Because I want you to experience it for yourself. Life is often the best teacher."

"What do you feel?"

"Think about it for yourself, and then tell me."

Carlos folded his arms around his chest, thinking like a little adult: "I understand...you are...telling me to do things, should I collect information in advance?"

"No." Charles shook his head.

"Then you are... teaching me to learn, to ask more, to learn more, to ask questions from elders?"

"No." Charles continued shaking his head.

"That's... you want to say... tell me not to..." Carlos blushed a little as he thought about it.

A good student who used to talk five times and four beauties, still vaguely knows that in the human world, the bad habits he learned on Mount Olympus are wrong, but admitting mistakes or something...

After struggling for a long time, he said embarrassedly: "You mean... tell me not...don't be so proud and look down on people?"

However, Charles was surprised for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to say that, but he still shook his head with a smile.

"What is that? I can't think of it." Carlos asked dejectedly.

Charles touched his head tenderly, took out a lollipop from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, held him in his arms, let him sit on his lap, and said with a smile: "Actually, I I just want to tell you that as a child, you should obediently talk less and eat more sweets in the future... Hey, not bad! Over there, Alex has already done it!"

Carlos: ...

----------------

With the full recommendation of his own brother, Scott, who was already flustered because of his out-of-control abilities, but had nowhere to go, quickly agreed to enroll in X Academy, which he thought was "unreliable and out of tune" before. .

But if only things were that simple.

Perhaps Charles deliberately wanted to let Carlos see more of the world. During Scott's admission process this time, he always took Carlos by his side.

Including taking Carlos to the school before Scott, going through the transfer procedures, erasing the memory of some insiders and so on.

Therefore, Carlos didn't realize until this time that 'mutants are not very popular with ordinary people', and it turns out that 'mutants still need to erase the memory of ordinary people to hide their tracks'.

The school that Scott attended before, the uninformed people are okay, they simply think that the collapse of the roof that day was due to the aging of the school building, or some other natural disaster.

But many students who knew about it secretly called Scott, who had been missing for a long time, a 'monster' in private.

Of course, before the mutants became well-known, the police did not believe what these children said about Scott. They believed that those children were spreading rumors to make trouble.And Scott, who played truant, was also understood as being out of gregarious, withdrawn, eccentric, and unpopular with everyone, so he ran away from home and played truant.

It's better to be misunderstood than to be found out to be the culprit, which is much better than Scott's 'frightening his own imagination'.

Because he couldn't see it now, Carlos was assigned by the professor to help Scott pack his personal items.

Although Carlos was a little unhappy, Professor Charles' tone was too gentle, his blue eyes were so pretty, and... the candy in his mouth was quite sweet.

He bewilderedly agreed.

While packing up, some people were still whispering secretly behind their backs.They think that Scott is either a 'monster', or a 'crazy, psychotic'. This transfer may be 'juvenile delinquents going to prison'.

In short, in their mouths, they have completely demonized each other.

Strange gazes, repulsive and fearful names, gloating and fabricated tone, the atmosphere is particularly depressing.

But Scott was blindfolded from beginning to end, looking expressionless and fearless, but Carlos clearly felt that he seemed to be alone.

Next, is the home of Scott's adoptive parents.

This time, even Carlos, who was watching, wanted to forgive the poor guy for his previous offense to the gods.

No matter how unfriendly or annoying those people in the school are, they are after all outsiders and strangers who have nothing to do with him.

But the adoptive parents, although they didn't care much about Scott because of their busy work, they were indeed family members.

The couple who were willing to adopt orphans were actually kind-hearted, but when they learned about Scott's ability, the involuntary and unconscious panic that they showed was very hurtful.

This doesn't mean how bad they are (if they are bad, it's probably better, because everyone doesn't expect too much from bad people, so there will be less sadness), but, they belong to That kind of heartfelt, unacceptable existence of such a weird existence... It's as if the person standing in front of them is no longer their familiar adopted son, but a stranger wearing a monster's skin.

Therefore, when Alex, in the name of his long-lost brother, suggested that Scott go to x college to study, and that x college would cover all the tuition and living expenses, the adoptive parents immediately nodded with relief.

Carlos was really a little angry at the kind of sending the plague god, nodding too late for fear that the 'monster' would stay again, and maybe eat their expressions, which made Carlos really angry.

You know, when we were on Mount Olympus, the group of old bad gods headed by Apollo always laughed at him as a new god who was not like a god at all, but like a well-behaved mortal. Brother is very protective of him.

Especially the elder brother Eros (Cupid), who used his bow and arrow to teach Apollo a good lesson, and helped Carlos out of anger.Using his own bow and arrow, he made Apollo the hero of a love tragedy.

This kind of performance is considered a real family.

It's worth saying, though: Scott remained unflappable during such a painful process.

His excellent performance of emotional control made Professor Charles admire him.

But the vengeful Carlos, with a little jealousy, privately slandered him because his eyes were blind and his senses were dull.

But later, when the four of them got into the car, Professor Charles Xavier...

This gentle professor with 'insight into people's heart' and 'understanding' suddenly said: "Scott, from now on, X College will be your home, and we will all be your family."

The boy named Scott was silent, silent, and then, a small piece of the blindfolded white cloth fell silently...

So, Carlos bit the lollipop that had no syrup and only a plastic stick, and reluctantly forgave this ignorant human being who offended the gods.

But no matter what the process was, he was finally no longer the only student in the school.

To celebrate the event, Carlos knocked on Scott's bedroom window that night.

By the way, Scott temporarily lives on the third floor.
