148 Memories of the Academy
He saw John's surprised expression in his eyes. Eric did not explain anything. The most caring student did not ask. He watched the metal little man slowly stretch his body in its owner's hands, from a ball of semi-solidified liquid to look lifelike. Finally, he seemed to be in a deep sleep and closed his eyes before stopping.$().(w)(x).()
Eric was a little tired after losing blood at this moment. Although the mutant has excellent physical fitness, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and lean on the sofa to rest for a while, and then the scenery in his sight returned to normal.
Now that the RV has entered Westchester, it will be in the academy soon. Eric specifically instructed the driving of Baby to take everyone back here.
Although Manhattan is good, I believe that young people who have experienced the pressure will still miss the quietness in the academy, after all, it protects their youth.
Eric hopes that they will calm their emotions in a familiar environment and then return to the office with a full-fill spirit.
By the way, he also wanted to see if there was any change in his biggest backing. He was fearless in the turmoil in the outside world, and only this place was the fundamental importance.
Now they are crossing a river through a stone bridge, which is the branch of the St. Lawrence River. Although the river channel is very wide and the water flows are not turbulent, the waves gently pat the dark reefs by the river, causing snow-white water droplets to splash everywhere. The cool river water flowing from Lake Ontario passes under the bridge with a faint smell of aquatic plants and pours eastward into the Atlantic Ocean. The environment on both sides of the river is beautiful, and the water birds fly lightly or fall on the light brown stone embankment without moving. Many small yachts are moored by the private pier in front of the south bank residence, while the north bank is sparsely populated, and a trail leads to the distance. Some nearby residents are leisurely strolling along the river. Many trees are planted along the river, mainly black pine and North American sequoia. Occasionally, light yellow maple leaves fall from the wind and fall on the green lawn that has not yet withered. At that time, lazy squirrels will slip over and pick them up to see if there is any unexpected harvest.
"Remember this river? John?" Opening his eyes, Eric asked his students.
John looked through the car window for a while, and through the wide river channel, he recognized that this was the place where the strange snakes were raging. The overturned houses had been completely repaired and the scrapped cars had been replaced, but occasionally the corners of the river bank had traces of the destruction.
This is the first battle for young people to leave the academy. From here, they have entered the public's vision with great fanfare.
"Yes, I remember." John said shyly. "We didn't do well at that time."
Eric smiled.
They didn't fight well that time, they were driven away by strange snakes like ducks. The frozen gas and fireballs could not penetrate the slippery and tough snake skin, and the iron bones and steel bars would also retreat continuously under the slap of the thick and weird snake tail. If Eric hadn't taken action, the so-called heroic deeds would be a joke.
But now it’s different. After targeted training, the strength of young people has been greatly developed. Even if John is the only one, he can easily make those arrogant people bow down and surrender.
"Yes, our dream starts here, but it won't end here." Eric looked out the window quietly, unexpectedly opening the window and threw the newly carved villain out.
John restrained his surprise. He watched the window close, the cold wind outside was cut off again, even through the glass. He could vaguely hear a vague sound of falling into the water.
"Surprised?" Eric asked with a smile, his face still pale, his head slightly sweating, but a mysterious smile appeared on his mouth.
"Yes." John answered honestly. "That's a masterpiece. It's a pity to throw it into the water."
He guessed that the instructor must have no intention, so he didn't talk too much. At this point, the Fire Man and the Storm Girl have surprising similarities. That is, they all believe that there is no need to ask too much about the secret, and they will naturally be told when the time comes.
Eric was very satisfied with the student's calmness, and he smiled and tightened his coat.
"That's nothing, John, my most outstanding work is always you."
Hearing such praise, John felt grateful and excited at the same time.
In the past, he was just an ordinary student in the academy. Due to his low potential, he was not valued by his mentors, and his personality was a bit introverted. He almost couldn't get along with everyone. Although everyone lives in the same building and is an equal classmate, he can only play the role of impulsive and ridiculous clowns to get along with people normally. In order to make everyone look at him with admiration, he worked hard every day to practice silently, but never saw hope of making a comeback. All the light was occupied by his best friends, and he could only stand outside the crowd and look up at his back quietly.
Just when he thought life was so destined, the new tutor came to the academy. He had a resistant mind at the beginning and ridiculed the tutor. What he never expected was that the new tutor led him into a new world. The situation of the mutant turned danger into safety, and he also became a hero who attracted the attention of the world. How could he be insincerely grateful for this person like his father?
This simple praise is better than the praise of countless people.
John suddenly couldn't stop the soreness at the tip of his nose, and tears flowed out unconsciously.
"Look at you, why did you suddenly cry? You are already a man." The man opposite chuckled gently, handed over a tissue from the blurry shadow, and the fire man took it in a mess and wiped the water on his cheeks.
"Yes, yes." John agreed, but tears were getting more and more. The most outstanding young man in the new generation of the academy, the superhero of the Thunderbolt Fire among the Fantastic Four, is now like a fragile child. If the girls like Alison or Katie saw him, he would laugh at him, but he just couldn't stop. Who would know his mood? A young man who realized that his future fate was worrying but failed, but suddenly welcomed the savior in his life. The gratitude and respect were self-evident.
"Boss, if you want to leave one day, please take me with you." John wiped his tears and looked at the person opposite him solemnly. He was already feeling the dilemma faced by his mentor.
"I promise." Eric said lightly, without a trace of fluctuation under his calm expression.
The traveling RV drove into the college, as if awakened by some silent reminder. The young people who were hanging their heads opened their eyes one after another. This period of dormancy regained their vitality. Now they returned to this familiar place, they jumped and ran down and started to play with the younger students who were active on campus.
"Look. They are back." On the balcony of the main building, a graceful lady said to the bald old man next to her. In the past, the dean would definitely greet him with a smile on his face, but today he was in a heavy mood.
"Don't hesitate, Charles." His most respected Ms. Mora called his name. "The innocent children are almost becoming his loyal believers. Do you still have to sit down and watch?"
"That might be unintentional. Who would have thought that a power outage would cause casualties to ordinary people?" The professor sighed long, and there was an indescribable hesitation and anxiety in his heart.
"We all know that once things start first, it will be difficult to keep going. He may regret it now. But if it is not stopped, he will gradually regard accidental casualties as a habitual experience and pass them on to the next generation. Those cute children will become new murderers under his influence. Do you want to see that one day the mutants and the outside world will become hostile again? Do you know the power of human beings. Haven't mutants suffered enough, and now they have to pay the next generation for their recklessness and ambition?" Ms. Mora pressed step by step. The professor knew that she had disgusted another Eric from the bottom of her heart when she was young. Now that the other Eric is old, this disgust will be transferred to the young one. But her words directly stabbed the most worried place in his heart. The wound was not bleeding after being uncovered, but that was exactly what Charles Xavier had been worried about for a long time.
"He is very alert." The professor resisted weakly, and then was defeated by Ms. Mora's final effort.
"Then start with the people around him, even if you help him clear the suspicion!" Ms. Mora completely restored her decisive and determined aura during the past Cia Agent. "He is very dangerous. Everyone is afraid of him. We must correct the mistakes. The rules of the future of mutants should not be written by him."
Say hello from afar and leave the students behind. Eric walked into the gate of the main building.
After a while standing in the center of the hall, the huge magnetic reaction had already left the college, and the dark blue slim figure disappeared with him. The atmosphere of the college was so calm that it was almost weird. Students of high and low grades were all staying on the campus, and the buildings seemed deserted.
Walking along the deep corridor, Eric came to his room.
When I opened the door, the thick curtains blocked all the light. The dim interior was colder than the outside. There was no body temperature of a vampire lady, nor the fragrance emitted by the female instructor who came to visit. Everything in the interior seemed to be isolated by time and space, as if no one had ever set foot here since eternity.
After watching quietly for a while, Eric closed the door again. He did not walk in, but continued walking along the corridor, where his memories were found.
At a corner, Eric stopped, and Scott used to sarcastically sarcastic to each other. After the handsome cool man who always wears glasses and speaks sour and strange words on the road, he is still wandering alone in the middle.
His shadow seemed to remain on the corner wall, and he was still chattering and complaining about something.
Eric smiled, and said hello to Mr. Cyclops through the time fault.
Continue forward, passing through the empty dining room and kitchen, and arrive at the secret door access leading to the basement.
At that place, he and Logan had an unpleasant confrontation when they first arrived at the academy. At that time, Qin's personality had not yet merged, and she still had a gentle and kind temper. With her efforts to match the two of them, they stopped and quit.
What Logan has a more headache now is his cute and cute sister Laura. She is a new X-series weapon created by Stryker from the experience learned from the Jingang Wolf experiment. Later, Eric blackmailed her, and perhaps he expected this day when he handed Laura to Logan.
Every time I think of the arrogant and perverse Jin Ganglang turning into a busy nanny, the new Magneto is overjoyed.
His smile became deeper, and his happy mood made him speed up. He quickly walked through the girls' dormitory and came to the female instructor's room.
Looking at the empty red wooden door with nostalgic thoughts, two invisible slender figures hugged each other and looked over charmingly. They were waving to him frequently, calling him softly in a pleasant voice that made people feel distracted.
The past passed by him like a tide, passing quickly with illusory light and shadows. Eric walked around the scenes of the past. When he stopped again, two heavy and thick brown-red wooden doors stood indifferently in front of him. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
