X College Ontario Branch recruits students from grade 12 to grade 36. Currently, there are 4 students in total, roughly divided into 22 classes. There are [-] students who did not go home during the summer vacation.

There is no homework in the summer vacation, the focus is: play.

Most of the children swim, row boats, draw pictures, play chess, etc. by the lake every day.

Of course, there is also the daily ability training.

Mutants above the beta level have very powerful abilities, and if they are not practiced and controlled, they will often cause irreparable and major damage.Jean Gray is the actual person in charge of the branch school. Some of the teachers are mutants, and some are ordinary people who are friendly to mutants but are attracted by high salaries.

Alicia and Peter came over after 9 am.

The children felt very strange seeing two visitors of the same age, and asked Qin if they were future classmates.Not necessarily, Jyn said, it could be, but it's also possible they'll go to Westchester County proper.

A boy performed a live seed birth technique. Qin introduced that his superpowers also include re-germinating withered plants and resurrecting small animals that have just died. But because he has just mastered the ability, it is not known whether he can also be resurrected. Humans who just died.

"Professor Xavier has always said that the law of energy conservation exists in all things. Reviving a bird may not have any effect, but resurrecting a dead person, you don't know what the consequences will be, so," Qin Xiaoxiao, "I have never let He went to try it out."

"If this ability can resurrect human beings, it will be against the sky."

"Yeah, he has always felt that he is super useless and not capable of fighting. But this is probably equivalent to a mage in the game. Having a resurrection scroll or learning a resurrection spell is much more remarkable than manipulating the earth's magnetic field .”

Alicia thought about it, "The resurrection spell has never been mentioned in the temple, otherwise I think they would try to resurrect the Ancient One mage. So the ability to resurrect must be very rare, and there may be some taboos."

"Even in the magical world, resurrection is almost black magic, and you can't try it lightly. Speaking of which, the professor said that I should have the ability to resurrect myself and others, but I have never used it."

"How did he know?" Alicia couldn't help but wonder, "Unless he saw you use it, how would he know?"

"I've thought about this too, but I don't remember at all when I resurrected anyone. My memory is very complete," Qin hesitated, "Professor can brainwash others, block or clear certain memories of others. do you know?"

"I heard Hank say that Charles brainwashed Poppy's parents into forgetting Poppy."

"Yeah, poor Bobby. My parents were brainwashed too, they don't remember me. So I thought, maybe I did something really bad back then, the professor keeps track of every brainwashing, He was serious about what he did, but he didn't document what happened to me."

It is unbelievable and difficult for an honest person to tell a lie.

The lunch was very lively, with more than 20 children chatting non-stop in the restaurant, and the atmosphere was very good.

The teachers have their own small dining room, and Jean and Scott accompany them to eat in the small dining room.When it came to financial issues, Qin felt a bit of a headache, saying that when she was a student, she didn't have to worry about money, but when she became the de facto principal, she realized that every sip of water cost money.Half of the students enroll for free, and the school will provide living expenses, exempting board and lodging expenses; the other half only pays for board and lodging expenses, and tuition and book fees are all exempted; while the school's major expenses are teachers' salaries, as well as meals Fees, accommodation fees, because the school building was donated by Eric free of charge, the burden is a little smaller, and maintenance fees, water and electricity fees, etc. are also required.

"If you don't have any money, ask Charles and Eric." Alicia took it for granted.

"Charles' estate is all thrown into the school, he has no money, very poor."

"Isn't Stark Industries donating every year? And Worthington Industries."

"Fortunately, there are some donations, otherwise I really can't continue to drive." Qin deeply felt that "money makes people old", "Warren's parents are pretty good parents. You know why they stayed at the school for three months of summer vacation. Aren't you going home from school?" She pointed in the direction of the student cafeteria.

"Probably homeless. Not every parent can accept that their child is a mutant." Alicia looked at Peter.

Peter was relatively silent. In the past, he could talk from dawn to bed and sleep.

She pressed the back of his hand, "Don't worry, Mei loves you very much, I will accompany you when you figure out how to tell her."

Peter nodded casually.

Jean could understand what they were saying without having to read his brain.Outsiders don't need to say much about this kind of thing, and they can't say anything. Some people are very lucky. It doesn't matter whether ordinary people or mutants are in this situation, it's just that mutants are more difficult.

In the afternoon they went swimming in the lake.

Alicia didn't have a bathing suit, but she didn't need a special change, and a girl lent her a pair of denim shorts, and she hit the water in denim shorts and a black lace corset.

Peter had brought swimming trunks, but jumped in the same khaki shorts.

A child's dangerous use of superpowers rolls up a lake and throws it over, sparking a superpower melee.There are Freezes like Poppy, ones who can turn invisible, and ones who can throw barriers, and the kids are playing and practicing control.

Besides, there is Qin watching from the side, so they won't make it really dangerous.

Alicia seldom has the experience of being with many superpowers, so she participated with great interest.With a wide variety of superpowers at her disposal, the students quickly established that she was an Omega-level mutant similar to Jean.

In the evening, after dinner, the children built a bonfire by the lake.

"Do you play like this every day?" Alicia asked.

"Almost." A girl replied.

"Aren't you going to play downtown?"

"Sometimes I go, but there's nothing fun in the city." A boy replied lazily: "Ordinary humans are too afraid of us. Some of us can't control our temper and abilities well, so we'll avoid it."

Another boy said bluntly: "Forget it, it's not because you went to the city last time and got into trouble, Eric cleaned up all of you, and as a result, everyone couldn't go play in town."

The boy giggled, "That's nothing." Dodging the branches thrown by several children.

The boys secretly shared cigarettes, a few boys drank beer, and most of them drank Coke.

A girl gave Peter a blanket and smiled kindly at him, "Peter, are you coming to Academy X next term?"

"probably not."

"What high school did you go to in New York?"

"Midtown Tech High."

The girl nodded, "I've heard of that school. Are you—are you a mutant too?" She wasn't sure, "You don't seem to have used your superpowers this afternoon."

"My—well, my powers don't work in water."

"What ability do you have?" asked curiously.

"Very ordinary, just run a little faster than others, but not as fast as Pietro, and then jump a little higher and a little farther? It's not very special."

The girl smiled, "No, every ability is very special. Maybe you haven't really mastered your abilities yet." She looked at Alicia who was talking to other children not far away, "Alicia really It’s great, we all love her and hope she can come to X Academy to teach. If it’s not Ontario, it’s good to go to New York.”

"Ask her then, Charles—I mean Professor Xavier invited her several times, and she didn't go. She might be more comfortable with you, you're kind."

The girl looked at him strangely, "Aren't you our 'kind'?"

Peter was a little confused. "Probably because I'm not sure about it."

"Did you just discover your abilities?"

"It's been a year."

"Then you should know about the development history of some mutants."

Peter nodded. In fact, the school curriculum also includes the history of the development of mutants and superheroes as the content of politics and history courses.

"You don't have to feel inferior. Mutants are the future of human evolution. Now we are 'heresy'. In the future, there will be a time when everyone wants to be a mutant."

Peter thought she was being too optimistic.

The girl walks away.

Peter spread out the blanket on the grass, lay down, put his hands behind his head, and looked up at the night sky.

The half-curved moon in the night is clear and shallow, the air in the suburbs is fresh, and the field of vision is good. Without a telescope, with his current extraordinary eyesight, he can see the craters on the moon.

"What are you looking at?" Alicia returned, lying softly on the blanket beside him.

"moon."

"Now the moon is too thin to fit the two of us. When the moon is full, I will fly you to the moon."

Peter smiled, "Ellie, you are so cute."

He took out one hand, fumbled to hold her palm, and raised it to his lips to kiss the back of her hand, palm, and fingers.

After a while, Alicia propped up her upper body and kissed his lips sideways.

Her hair fell down and brushed against his face and ears, making it itchy, and even the tip of his heart was trembling, hoping that this moment would last as long as possible, and it would never end.

The week's vacation was over quickly, and they drove back to New York.

Qin and Scott came to see them off, handed over some inspection reports that had been made to Peter, and gave him a USB flash drive.

"Sending emails is not safe, U disk is safer." Qin explained.

Quite logically, there is a risk of prying eyes on the mail.

"The professor said that you have decided to be a guest teacher at X College next semester, and I hope you will have time to take classes at the Lake Ontario campus for a few weeks in the future."

Alicia smiled: "If you have time."
