[Zhongyingmei] My students are not right

Since Charles stopped indulging in alcohol, he picked up his textbooks again and began to teach students politics, world history, and physics. If he didn't have his class that day, he would stay in the school, look at the fountain, and enjoy the yellowing of the campus More often, he still stays in his office, reading books, listening to music, waiting for the adolescents who will open the office door at any time and ask him about life problems.

Claire went to the office to look for him several times, and she could see him hugging Sparrow, frowning slightly, and seriously reading the weather forecast in the newspaper. If he put a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, then It's very much like the daily life of an empty nester.

But this time, just as Claire raised her hand to knock on the door, she first heard the sound of conversation coming from inside the door. She thought that it should be a student who lost her way on the road of life who was seeking help from Professor Xavier, so she went to Withdrawing his hand, he was about to wait at the door for a while, and then he heard Charles' voice coming from the door: "Is Claire outside the door? Please come in."

Claire pushed the door open as she said, and saw an afterimage quickly emerge from the gap of the door she pushed open, and ran to the corridor outside the house. When Claire turned her head, she could only see a long flicking tail and the plump buttocks of the sanhua cat .

"It's probably tired of eating canned cat food and wants to eat something else." Charles said in the house.

Claire nodded. When she was at Hogwarts, Elena occasionally got tired of eating the shrimp cooked for her by the house elves, and would go out to hunt wild food, such as those acromantia that Hagrid secretly raised in the Forbidden Forest. .

Claire walked into the room and closed the door behind her. Turning around, she saw a slender blonde standing opposite Charles' desk. She was wearing a casual denim jacket and black leggings that showed off her long legs. Looking fashionable and handsome, she was also turning her head, looking at Claire with a bit of inquiry in her eyes.

Claire stared at her for a moment, then moved his gaze to Charles who was sitting behind the desk.

Charles smiled: "She's Raven, Eric should have mentioned her to you."

Claire was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I've seen it on TV too, but the Miss Ruiwen at that time should be..."

The blond girl smiled lightly. From her face, dark blue scales emerged, quickly covering her whole body. In an instant, those dark blue scales covered her whole body. Her curly blond hair, It also turned into short red hair sticking to the back of her head. She looked at Claire with those animal-like golden eyes: "It should be like this?"

Claire: "Um... yes."

"Claire, there's something wrong with your eyes, there seems to be another story." Charles smiled in his eyes.

Claire was in a hurry to prove her innocence: "No, no, I didn't have any strange inspirations this time, but it suddenly occurred to me that there are so many blues in mutants, Kurt, Hank, Raven, um, and just yesterday The apocalypse that appeared."

Charles: "..."

Ruiwen: "..."

Raven changed back to her blonde look and said, "Is it still this good looking?"

"It's pretty." Claire smiled, "But the blue one is more handsome. I've liked it since I saw it on the TV news."

Ruiwen stared into her eyes for a while, then suddenly laughed: "You said the same thing as Eric."

"He is a person who is good at discovering the beauty of others." Claire said, smiling again, "Actually, I haven't spent much time with him, so I don't know him well."

"No, Claire." Raven shook her head, "You have to believe, you are the person who knows him best now." She paused, and added, "Except for Charles."

Claire nodded approvingly.

Charles opened his eyes slightly: "I'm not, I didn't... wait, Claire, your eyes are wrong again, stop, please, I have already promised not to read your thoughts anymore, don't force me... "

The three of them finally sat on the terrace in the garden. The view of the garden in late autumn was not very good. The flowers had withered and the grass had lost its vitality. It was a bit bleak, and when the wind blew, it could make people feel that the northern hemisphere was indeed developing. Gradually lose temperature.

Hank brought everyone a steaming cup of coffee. Ruiwen only looked at the froth on the coffee surface, then looked up at him and said, "It seems that your coffee making skills have improved."

Charles took a sip from his cup and said slowly, "That's right, he heard you were here, so he ran to me and borrowed my coffee machine."

Hank adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, as if to hide his bewilderment.

Seeing that honest Hank's face was getting redder and redder, Claire probably understood what was going on. Hank had liked Ruiwen a long time ago, but Ruiwen left with Eric. After taking Ruiwen away, not only Charles but also Hank were left behind.

Hank sat down on the wicker chair beside Charles, and silently took a sip of the coffee he made.

Charles glanced at Hank who was drinking coffee with his head down, and then looked at Raven: "So, are you here for Eric this time?"

Hank put down his glass and looked at Raven.

"Arguably so," Raven said. "I saw Eric on TV."

Charles nodded: "Me too." After he finished speaking, he looked at Claire, who was about to take his first sip from the coffee cup, when suddenly the eyes of the three people focused on her, and she froze for a moment, then said : "It's been a while since I've seen him...well...the last time I saw him was on TV."

"..."

"That man..." Charles pondered for a moment, then said, "I've never heard of such a mutant."

Claire finally drank the coffee, she put down the cup, and said, "This is exactly the purpose of my coming to you this time. Jean Gray told me that she made one about this man."

When Charles heard that it was Jean who made it, his expression immediately became serious, and then he said to Raven, who was still a little puzzled, "Jin is the daughter of my friend Professor Gray. Her ability...is very powerful, but she can't fully control it yet. Sometimes she sees the future in it."

"Yes, she foresaw this man in the book and brought four accomplices to destroy the world together." Claire said, looking at Charles, "Do you know the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?"

Charles has taught theology and is very familiar with biblical allusions. He nodded: "The four horsemen of the apocalypse in the last chapter of the New Testament, the Apocalypse of John."

"The lamb undoes the seven seals of the book and summons knights riding white, red, black, and blue horses. They represent divine rebellion, war and destruction, famine and injustice, death and endless suffering. They have authority. Give it to them, and they can kill a quarter of the world's people with swords, famine, plague, and wild animals." Claire said, "The four people in the piano are the four doomsday four horsemen who will eventually destroy the world. And the man who claims to be a god is the ancestor of the mutants, leading the four knights to spread the apocalypse of suffering in the world."

"You mean..." Raven frowned.

"Eric has reached a cooperation with Apocalypse." Hank added two more cubes of sugar to his coffee, and then stirred with a spoon, "Probably became one of the knights."

Claire rested her chin on one hand and looked at the withered grass outside the terrace swaying in the wind: "I think it's not just that."

Charles nodded.

"So does Eric have any other goals?" Hank was a little puzzled, "If it is true, as you said, that Apocalypse is the ancestor of mutants, then all goals beyond his will will not be realized."

"But..." Claire paused, remembering Eric's smile reflecting the hazy moonlight in Jordan's Moon Valley, she shook her head and said, "He doesn't want to destroy the world."

"But Eric hates humans." Hank said, "If Apocalypse can really help him realize his ideals..."

Claire froze for a moment, then said, "Eric's ideal...isn't like that."

She seemed to, indeed, knew him a little bit.

The four were silent for a while, and then Raven spoke first: "Charles, we need to find Eric, no matter what his real purpose is."

Charles nodded, and then said, "Use the mastermind." He turned his head, looked at Claire, and said, "Come along, Claire."

Claire shook her head and said, "I have to go back. Aunt Carly made delicious food tonight. If I don't go back in time to fix it, tomorrow you will find that your theology teacher has skipped class."

Charles smiled: "The consequences are really serious." He paused, raised his eyebrows playfully, "Don't you want to see Eric again?"

Claire smiled and shook her head: "I don't want to."

The corner of Charles' mouth was raised higher: "Don't you really want to?"

"I really don't want to see him on TV again," Claire said honestly.

Charles laughed: "Believe me, I am the same."

When Claire left the garden terrace, she drank the whole cup of hot coffee, and finally felt warmer. She tightened her coat and walked out of Xavier School along the cobblestone path. It was dark early in late autumn, There were only two solitary street lamps left at the gate of the school. Under the dim light, there were no moths hitting the lamp tubes, and it seemed much deserted.

She raised her wrist to check the time when she walked to the school gate. It was already 10:[-] in the evening, and the last bus back to the town had left the station [-] minutes ago.

She walked under a ginkgo tree at the school gate, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one in the wilderness, she prepared to use apparition to go home.Before she finished chanting the spell, she felt a gust of cool wind blowing from the back of her neck. The next second, a hand was placed on her shoulder. She was startled by the sudden slap and turned her head immediately Come, through the dim street lights, I saw Pietro with a serious face.

"You..." Claire's eyes widened in surprise, "Obviously no one just now..."

"I have been waiting for the teacher to come back in the classroom, and I ran over when I saw the teacher walking towards the school gate." Pietro said.

Claire blinked: "You've been waiting for me."

Pietro nodded.

It seems that this adolescent boy who lost his way on the road of life did not choose to knock on the principal's door, but chose to pat her on the shoulder.

Claire suddenly felt a sense of responsibility to save the lost adolescent.

She coughed twice, and then her eyes became more serious: "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Come on, whether it's a secret love, family ethics, or even an angel who fell in love with you against ethics, I can guide you in the direction and let you find the dawn of life.

"I..." Pietro just spoke, then paused, he lowered his head, then raised his head again, "Mr. Lagerfeld, you... have a boyfriend, right?"

Claire blinked, remembering that the day before she answered Aunt Carly's phone, pressed the hands-free button, and then Aunt Carly's roar, which was comparable to a snarling letter, rang through the detention room.

"Just... let's do it." Claire said hesitantly.

She didn't know how to define the relationship between her and Eric. In the past, she could say with certainty that they were friends with sex without any emotional entanglement, but now, she seemed to have no confidence.

Pietro's eyes dimmed slightly, he lowered his head again, and said in a low voice, "It's...is it him?"

"Huh?" His voice was a little low, and Claire couldn't hear it clearly.

Pietro let out a breath, raised his head, and looked at Claire. He was taller than Claire, and his head was still slightly lowered when he looked into her eyes. Blue gave Claire an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"I said..." Pietro just opened his mouth, but his expression suddenly changed. He took a step forward and blocked Claire behind him, and Claire's wand had already been pulled out of his cuff, but Pietro's movement was too fast, she Before casting the spell, Pietro was already standing in front of her.

She retracted her wand silently, then raised her head, looked over Pietro's shoulder, and saw the man standing quietly in the light of the opposite street lamp.

He seemed to appear suddenly, but there was no sense of embarrassment all over his body, as if he had been standing there for a long time, waiting for the two people opposite him to find out.

Claire squinted her eyes, and saw the other party's blue bald head which was unusually obvious under the light.

Apocalypse?

The man opposite suddenly took a step towards Claire, and said in a low voice, "You know me."

Claire frowned. In just a few days, she had already met three mutants who could use Legilimency without saying hello!

And Tianqi raised his chin slightly, as if he was feeling something. After a few seconds passed, he usually looked at the other person and said, "Mysterious race, do you want to follow me? I will give you more power."

Claire frowned and was about to speak out when Pietro, who stood in front of her, asked, "You are the one who appeared on TV yesterday, what exactly are you and that man going to do!"

"That man?" Tianqi shifted his gaze to Pietro, and then said as if he had discovered something, "So that's it."

Claire: "???"

What does this apocalypse mean? You only speak half of it. Don’t you know that it’s more appetizing?

And Pietro did protect Claire behind him, and whispered: "Teacher, don't worry, I will protect you, you...don't trust that man."

Claire: "????"

What's the matter, one or two, is it common for mutants to speak only half?Do I have to force her to use Legilimency?

And Pietro is still saying: "He's not worth it, sir, he's not worth it..."

Claire: "..."

She felt that her Legilimency was starving.
