Oh, why do you have time to come to our small place?"

At the gate of Xavier Talented Youth Academy, Ororo, who came to greet Merlin, put his waist on his face and said to Merlin in a long black windbreaker with a playful look on his face:

"Your new clothes are good."

"certainly."

Merlin reached out and touched her sleeve, and he said:

"This is a custom-made product, and most people can't buy it even if they have money... As for why I come here, the reason is very simple."

Merlin said while following Ororo into the academy:

"I have to pick up my two sisters home for the weekend and visit Professor Charles. He has been very busy recently, giving speeches around the country and calling on mutant people to join the moderates...that scene is almost the same as the presidential election."

"yes."

Ororo nodded, she said:

"The professor is busy, but he is in a good mood. With the help of the official, the power of the moderates is increasing every day, and extreme ideas are being driven out of the mainstream of mutant society. Perhaps soon, we can start to solve those problems that actually exist."

"Those things have nothing to do with me."

Merlin waved his hand and looked at the children playing on the grass in front of him, and said:

"You have to talk to the official about those things. Speaking of which, are Riven and Lorna still obedient? Have they caused any trouble?"

"Riwen is very well-behaved."

Ororo said to Merlin:

"The child is very mature. She can handle the relationship between her and other children very well, but she is a little indifferent and doesn't like to talk to others. As for Lorna..."

Ororo said to Merlin with some headache:

"She was very obedient, but... the last time John and Riven had some small conflicts, this girl began to target John everywhere. Three days ago, she brought a few children who had a good relationship with her and blocked John in the castle utility room. She didn't know where to learn how to use those metal strips to trap John until midnight. If Qin hadn't heard John's call for help at night, the child would have been in the utility room for a day."

Speaking of this, Ororo turned his head and looked at Merlin with a calm face, and she said:

"Lorna is very vengeful. Did you learn from you?"

"I'm even more curious about how that John survived after a conflict with Riven."

Merlin shrugged and said to Ororo:

"It seems that you taught my sister very well. In the past, if someone dares to provoke her, you probably will find his buried body in the back garden."

Ororo stared at Merlin, and after a moment, she shook her head:

"I know you're kidding, but I still feel chills all over my body. Maybe, I should pay more attention to Riven."

"You'd better pay attention to her."

Merlin said:

"Lorna is just a childish temper and likes to make pranks, but Riven... There is a giant's soul living in her body. She doesn't care about the provocation of the ant because the ant is not threatened. Once she realizes the threat, her speed of movement will catch you off guard."

"And that John, let him stay away from my sisters!"

After saying that, Merlin took out a few exquisite chocolate candies from her pocket and gave them to the chattering children. Then, amid the children's laughter, he followed Ororo into Xavier Castle.

There are still a few hours before school is over Friday, and both Lorna and Riven are in class, so Merlin first visited Professor Charles who was preparing for the speech in the castle.

"Oh, Merlin, you're here."

As Merlin walked into the office, the professor was frowning and revising a manuscript full of words. He raised his head and smiled at Merlin with a gentle smile. He said:

"Sit down, I just happen to have something to ask for your advice."

"What a coincidence, professor."

Merlin sat on the sofa in the professor's office and said to the professor:

"I just happened to ask you for help with some things, but let me see what problems you are facing."

“It’s about the Utopian Islands.”

Professor Charles put down his speech. The old man in his mental state has been leaning on his wheelchair recently. He said to Merlin:

"I have gathered a group of compatriots who are good at building to build a town to the archipelago to serve as the home of the first occupants of the utopia. But now, what I am hesitant about is how I should promote the concept of utopia to my compatriots without arousing the official vigilance... Although we are now in a cooperative situation, you also know that in the government, there are still a group of people who are hostile to mutants."

“Didn’t we discuss this issue before?”

Merlin said:

"The reserved area for moderate mutants, a new home for mutants who cannot live in the world of ordinary people, is a neutral area that does not involve any political factors."

"Well, this statement is really good, but there is a problem, Merlin."

The professor put his hands together and placed them on the table, and he said to Merlin:

"Recently, some rumor has been circulating among my fellow countrymen. It says that the Utopian Islands are actually an exile area and the last resort for the official to solve the problem of mutants. Some people with bad intentions are exaggerating this horror. They spread rumors and make trouble, claiming that once the mutants arrive at the utopia, once the number of mutants in the utopia reaches a certain level, the official will launch a clearance plan and wipe out all mutants on the islands at one time."

The professor's expression became serious, and he said to Merlin:

"Sumers has been looking for the source of such nonsense rumors recently, but according to the information he found, behind these rumors... official forces intervene."

"Um?"

Merlin also frowned, and he said:

"You mean, someone is secretly stopping the unity of mutants?"

“Those people have always existed.”

The professor said:

"I've seen many madmen who long to see the world burning. I mean, the emergence of these rumors is definitely just the first step, and they may then launch more rapid and vicious attacks. So, I plan to change the way we promote utopia."

Professor Charles said in a gentle tone:

"During this period, I learned a lot of things I hadn't paid attention to before. With your suggestion, I also talked to Mr. Gordon, and I got a lot of inspiration from the social form of the Inhuman."

“Utopia should not be just a reservation for mutant people, it should also be a place for learning and choosing.”

The professor said:

"Just like this academy, those mutants who have awakened their abilities but cannot control them well should be sent to utopia to learn their abilities. After they can skillfully control their own power, they can choose to stay there or return to the world of ordinary people... no one will stop them and give them all the choices to them or their parents."

He looked back at the children playing on the grass outside the window, he said:

“As far as I know, many parents are trapped in the difficulty of children being mutants, and this is not uncommon.”

The professor stopped, he took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Merlin, he said:

"I also plan to produce some books that are not for mutants, but for ordinary people. Some of our previous publicity behaviors are too stiff and we can no longer adapt to the current situation."

"I intend to use these books to tell ordinary people about the origins of mutants, explanations of our abilities, and the prospects and roles of utopia. People fear and hate something because they don't understand, and once they understand what seems strange, once they understand mutants are not natural villains, maybe... the integration between us in the future will be smoother."

"And this requires your help."

The professor said to Merlin:

"Many publishers are concerned about social factors and they are unwilling to publish these books... I hope SHIELD can use some power to help us solve this..."

"boom"

Before the professor could finish his words, a loud bang rang outside the wall of Xavier Talented Youth Academy. Merlin's figure disappeared the next moment and when he appeared again, he had already arrived above the academy.

He looked down, and the children playing on the grass were frightened, and they witnessed the scene of the wall exploding like a shell, and the giant who could not see clearly in the flying smoke and dust.

The real giant.

He is at least 3 meters tall and is as terrifying as a walking mountain of meat.

Merlin saw it clearly.

It was a guy wearing a strange red leather armor and a stone-like red helmet on his head. He walked in the ruins of the walls, like an ancient giant beast, and stepped into the ground of Xavier Academy carelessly.

On Icarus' lens, the figure in the dust was locked quickly, and rows of information appeared in front of Merlin. In the column of personal combat effectiveness assessment, there was a big, blood-red skeleton.

This means that Icarus believes that this guy is powerful and will cause great trouble to Merlin.

"Red Tank..."

Merlin silently recited the name.

This guy in front of him is famous on the wanted list of s..l.d. He is not a member of the Mutant Brotherhood, but he has indeed created many violent attacks around the world. Many countries are wanting this guy, but he can survive so many wanted and continue to act, which proves that this guy is extraordinary.

In fact, it is indeed the case.

In the evaluation of s..l.d., the threat level of the red tank is even comparable to that of Magneto.

As for the information Merlin has collected so far, the mutant ability of the Red Tank is very single, which is pure physical strengthening and the enhancement of strength and defense. Among the strange mutant abilities, this belongs to the type that will not be noticed at all.

But these three simple enhancements of the Red Tank are not simple.

It is not easy to do anything to the extreme. Just like the Red Tank, his body strengthening has been pushed to the real extreme. In the previous pursuit of the Red Tank by the Ministry of Defense, the soldiers even used tanks and bombers, but still failed to leave this terrifying attacker.

He almost forced himself to bombard the artillery shells and bombs, and blasted a way through the defense circle of the Ministry of National Defense, and left the battlefield carelessly under the gaze of hundreds of people.

Bullets, shells, explosions, bombings, these modern technologies cannot affect the charge of the Red Tank.

There are also sentences that are widely circulated in the mutant circle.

Never stand in the way of the Red Tank Charge.

Some mutants who fear the brute force of the red tank are even more fearful and respectful, calling the red tank the "God of Impact Destruction".

but...

There are also some rumors that the Red Tank is not actually a mutant. His terrifying ability comes from other things that are more terrifying than the X gene.

Merlin didn't do it immediately.

Because the Red Tank does not seem to be planning to demolish the castle in front of him.

The rash man with a red stone helmet stood on the lawn, slapping the dust on his body while allowing the children to escape. He didn't care about the X-Men who rushed out of the castle.

He stood on the grass like a statue, shouting to the castle in front of him in a low voice like thunder:

"Charles!"

"I heard you are not very good lately...so I'm going home to help you, won't you come out to see me?"

The moment the shouts of the Red Tank fell, Professor Charles' feedback sounded in the Red Tank's heart. The professor seemed unwilling to let others hear the communication between him and the Red Tank.

This also made Merlin interested.

He keenly realized that there should be some strange and unimaginable connection between the dangerous thug of Red Tank and Professor Charles.

"You are still like this, exactly the same as you did decades ago, and you are extremely cowardly!"

The Red Tank did not seem to intend to accept the professor's silent proposal. Although he was surrounded by Ororo, Summers and the Iceman Baby, the Red Tank still shouted indifferently:

"Come out, face me, Charles, face your inner demon... I will smash it into meat sauce like you to relieve your pain!"

"They are all blind people."

The Red Tank looked at the X-Men around him sarcastically, and he said:

"They can't see your changes, but I can! You are not the one you used to... Come out, Charles, let me see, my dear..."

"Enough!"

The professor's voice rang out at this moment, and as the window opened, the wheelchair floating in the air carried the professor into the lawn below. He stared at the provocative red tank, he said:

"Kain, enough, don't mention those old things!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The Red Tank laughed loudly, and his arrogant posture looked like a guy who did everything he wanted. He said to the professor:

"You are scared... Hahaha, you are afraid that you have done something you have done in the past will be known by others, and those of your students who regard you as the leader will know. You are afraid that they know that you and the bitch Riven have buried me in the ruins of the battlefield, you are afraid that they know the evil things you have done in the past, you coward!"

"Swish"

Just as the red tank's scolding fell, a black shadow appeared strangely on the battlefield. Meilin, who was in the sky, couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Things got worse and worse.

Beside the professor, Little Ruiwen was hovering in the air, her cold face was full of disgust, she stared at the red tank in front of her, and she questioned:
Chapter completed!
