Norma's eyes widened in surprise at Charles' refusal. She never expected to get such an answer. Perhaps this is probably because the usual Charles is too talkative, and he has almost never rejected the students' requests that are not excessive. .

And Norma didn't think her request was too much!

"what why?"

Seeing Norma's surprised face, Charles was a little bit amused in his helplessness. Since that time, he has rarely seen Norma's mood swings too much. This time...is an exception!

"Listen Norma, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but I can't lend it to you." Charles explained, and before Norma could continue asking, he said, "I'm in Brooklyn, New York City. There is a property where I lived with my parents when I was a child, and a lot of things happened there, but someone found out that I was a mutant a long time ago, and it has been monitored by the military, although I haven't been back for a long time But you know those people won't stop so easily... I haven't been back for a long time, so I don't think you are suitable to live there."

After all, the people in the military represent the entire ZF. Charles doesn’t want to get too ugly with them unless it’s a last resort. What’s more, the military doesn’t know how many people they will send if they notice the presence of mutants. The relationship between the two sides has eased a lot, but there will always be radicals, right?

So Norma is not suitable to live in that place. After all, she has only become a mutant for a few months. If the military finds out, it will be very dangerous.

What else could Norma say!Charles has already told her all the reasons, and she probably knows what she will face if she insists on going there. She doesn't want to cause trouble for herself or others, so she can only give up the idea : "...Well, it seems that I still think too simple."

There may be many things that are easy to solve in this world, but a house is not included. What is even more difficult to solve is the conflict between mutants and the US government.

Seeing Norma's disappointed face, Charles asked back: "Can I ask, why do you want to live there?" Norma came back in a hurry and asked him to talk about the house. Now he doesn't even know why. !

It was only then that Norma realized that she hadn't said anything to Charles, so she explained: "Since you want to work in the city, it's more convenient to live in the city, right? At least it's closer to the place of work."

A few blocks are better than hours of driving.

"Where do you go to work?" Charles smiled: "So you found a new job so quickly?"

Norma shrugged: "It's not a big deal, it's just a part-time job in a convenience store. As for a better job, let's look for it while working!"

"I said, instead of working for others in a convenience store, why not find a better job?" After all, working in a convenience store doesn't make much money, right?

Norma sighed: "It's not that I haven't thought about what you said, but the reality is...a big company will not accept a job application from a person who doesn't even have a college graduation certificate."

Charles smiled: "I have a good proposal."

Seeing his smile, Norma frowned: "If you want me to be a teacher in school again, forget it!" Not only is it because she feels that she will be smart, but she also doesn't think she can teach those students. students what.

Charles shook his head: "No, no, no, I have another idea. You can help me with other things, so that I can stay in school without any burden."

Norma raised her eyebrows: "Other? What does that mean?"

"You can help me with other tasks."

However, such words made Norma even more confused: "Tasks? What tasks do you have to do?" Isn't it all right for him to be responsible for educating students in school and helping them practice their abilities?

Seeming to see what Norma was thinking, Charles said with a smile: "Although I spend most of my time at school with the students, it doesn't mean I have nothing else to do, you know the world There are many mutants discovered on the Internet, and many of them suddenly discovered their abilities just like you, because they don’t know how to use their abilities, they caused a lot of trouble, and were hunted down by the police or the army.”

"Sometimes I will receive distress signals from them unconsciously. You know it's not convenient for me to help them. I can only leave this matter to the students who have already mastered their abilities, so I think... You can try it too."

Norma noticed that Charles' hand was unconsciously placed on his lap as he said these words, and it seemed that Charles still occasionally fretted over the fact that he was in a wheelchair.

"So you're saying...you want me to help you save the other mutants?"

Charles nodded: "You can ask for their wishes and ask them if they would like to come to the school. You know, many students here come like this."

"But didn't you say that these tasks are all given to students who can use themselves proficiently? Are you sure you want to give such tasks to me?"

Such a task does not sound easy!

Charles smiled: "After this period of practice, I have seen it, Norma, you are very talented, but occasionally you need real practice, don't you? You can't make any progress if you keep training yourself, so I think, Norma, this is not just a mission, but also an exercise for you."

Norma sighed: "It doesn't sound easy, I really hope that I won't screw up this mission."

Charles smiled: "No, Norma, what you should think is that you will succeed in this mission." After all, her ability is imagination, isn't it?So you should think more about good things and less about bad things.

Norma laughed: "Yes, I will definitely succeed, but... are you going to let me act alone?" Relying on her alone, I always feel a little...

No, no, she has to think of something good!Although it is necessary to prepare for the worst in everything, it is obviously not suitable for her. As Charles said, her ability is imagination, isn't it?

"Although I don't think this mission is too dangerous. After all, what you have to face is just a group of ordinary policemen, but I will still arrange a partner for you. After all, this is your first mission. However, no He won't show up as a last resort, and I hope you don't rely on other people's strength."

Norma shrugged: "Well, it seems that I have to face it alone, so where should I go?"

"Looks like you'd rather be doing assignments than being a teacher," Charles joked, and then he said, "Not far, in England."

"What? The UK is not far away???" Norma was taken aback, and then realized that this is simply a cross-border mission!

Charles smiled: "It's not bad to travel for free, right?"

Norma was helpless: "But this is not just tourism! And... I remember you just said the police? Could it be..."

"Yes, you're not mistaken, the mutant was caught at the Scotland Yard police station, so you have to get him out."

"...Is it really okay to have such a difficult mission for the first time?" Norma was helpless, and it was fine to go to the UK, but the target was Scotland Yard, which is the capital of the UK!Is that place really that easy to get in?

Charles smiled: "You will find a way, use your imagination."

Norma sighed helplessly: "Okay, I will find a way." Imagination is a good thing, but it is not so easy when it becomes a kind of ability.

"In this way, you shouldn't have any psychological burden to stay in school, right?" Charles mentioned this topic.

Norma shrugged: "That's true. After all, our identities have changed somewhat. Now you are the boss, and I'm working for you."

As for the reward, she can stay in school without any mental burden, right?

Charles smiled: "Although you say you are a boss and a worker, I won't pay you anything."

Norma also smiled: "I know, I know, the reward is that you can live in the school, right! I have no objection to this at all." As long as you don't pay nothing, just stay here.

"So you agreed to help me with the task?" Charles confirmed again.

Norma nodded: "Of course, didn't we agree just now?" Why is he still asking this question?

"Then what if you work in a convenience store in the city?" Charles asked slowly.

"Uh...why didn't you remind me earlier!!!" Norma was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that this guy Charles definitely did it on purpose.

They were all discussing this task before, and she had completely forgotten about the convenience store!

"Didn't I remind you now?" Charles spread his hands, he thought she had already figured out what to do!After all, she had promised him to do the mission to save other mutants.

Norma sighed silently, she really wanted to...

Forget it, don't think about some weird things, what if it comes true?

"...It seems that I can only call to apologize and say that I won't go to work." Norma sighed helplessly, and it was foreseeable that she would definitely be scolded by the owner of the convenience store.

But... Compared to working in a convenience store or something, going out to do missions is more attractive to her!As Charles said, she also has to test her abilities in actual combat!

After all, training and actual combat are completely different!
