029 Visit the legend

Qin's troubles cannot be easily eliminated, and Ororo's troubles must be slowly relieved, but time passes day by day, and with the help of Eric, they will eventually find a way to resolve them, because time is the most effective medicine to treat heart disease.

Days passed day by day, and Eric's training for the students was effective. It was not that they could fly into the sky with their newly learned tricks and they were carefree from now on, but that they gradually learned to flexibly use their abilities. Their talent was no longer a cold pistol, but only as a weapon for offense and defense, but turned into an invisible and flexible hand, or a pair of magical wings. It began to make young people enjoy convenience in life. This convenience was like the new things that had appeared in human society in the past, just like the advent of washing machines, which rescued housewives from heavy physical labor. Now these new discoveries will also make mutants re-know themselves, and they will understand that they are not time bombs, but people favored by God.

During this period, Eric not only trained the students in various ways, but also often took them to learn about external news. People often said that contemporary Americans only need newspapers and television to spend their lives, which shows the importance of information. But young people in the college were separated from the outside world intentionally or unintentionally, and even if a shocking news happened less than five miles from the college, they were indifferent.

They are Robinson who drifts in this cold world, and the college is an isolated island in the heart of the vast sea.

All Eric had to do was grab their ears, throw them into the sea with all their might.

At first, the work was not going well. Although young people were eager to go out for a ride, that doesn't mean they can really handle things related to the outside world well. They were deeply hurt and had been out of society for a long time. Their guardianship was as alert as a hedgehog who broke into a house. Of course, this is a necessary quality for mutants, but being too sensitive may lead them to the abyss. Eric hopes that these young people can grow into superstars in the future, guide trends, and be admired and followed by the world, rather than being like those freaks who are not talented and suddenly become anti-social murderers when they encounter some blows.

Fortunately, it is not too difficult to achieve this goal. No matter what the reality of this country is, mainstream public opinion always tends to be positive and bright. As long as you have enough money in your pocket, you can enjoy the beauty. It is really simple to confuse these young boys. However, under the guidance of Eric, these guys began to have some expectations for their future. They fantasize about how to use their talents to seek benefits for themselves while ensuring safety, and then gain the recognition of their parents, the praise of society and the favor of big-breasted girls. - The first wish comes from Baby, and the last one belongs to John - - Although some expectations are not reliable, they are basically a simple young man.

Eric showed them financial news, giving them a superficial understanding of wealth, and by the way, seeing the luxury and luxury of the rich; taking them to read newspaper clippings, allowing them to analyze the authenticity of the news reports by themselves, so that they can have a deep enough understanding of the media; in addition, there are reports about their peers, from those things, young people can see how ordinary people who are similar to them live, and although their reserve makes them disdainful, they still feel itchy in their hearts.

"Their bodies did not come from me, but I am their spiritual father," said Eric.

Selena smiled at his words, she always accompanied her master, knowing best how much Eric did for the young, and the repeated collisions he had with certain conservative forces in order to stick to his own teaching methods.

In any case, the appearance of young people is changing rapidly and they are becoming more mature.

On this day, Eric's teaching time came again. At this time, young people were no longer resistant to training. They had already adapted to the pressure and became good horses who could run quickly without a whip.

However, there was no training and no information to observe this day.

"We go to visit a great man who once created legends," Eric said, his words immediately aroused the curiosity of the students.

Eric didn't explain anything. He and Selena brought a few yellow and black clothes, just like the retro-style monarch uniform that Hank had prepared for him before, and the young man would set out in them.

This is the first time that Xavier College students have openly interacted with people in the society as college students.

In the car, Eric briefly introduced them to the person who was going to take them to meet.

This respectable person is a legendary player. The first twenty years of his life are mediocre. At the age of 23, he lost one leg in a car accident in a speeding car driven by his companion. After the disaster, he fell into a loss and wanted to end his life. Later, with the encouragement of his family, he worked hard from adversity and bravely pursued his dreams - to become a professional player.

Compared with those big names who determine the fate of the country, he has no outstanding achievements. His best result in life is to help his team become the runner-up of the major league game, but he overcomes difficulties and sensationalized the whole country with his prosthetics on the green field. People are calling his name and falling for his strength and persistence. Whether you like that sport or not, the scene of his waving his wooden legs and scoring the winning goal from 35 yards has become a widely praised scene.

He endured suffering and bravely walked out, and finally wrote his will into this era.

Under the leadership of Eric, the young people walked into a hospital where the respectable person was undergoing rehabilitation training. He was not healthy, but he insisted on meeting visitors from all over the country every day to share his experience with everyone.

"Before that, I was a dock worker, and my daily job was to drive forklifts to carry goods. I was not proficient in sports. At that time, I just often fantasized about being the focus of people's attention and accepting cheers on the green field like a star." Facing the student from Xavier Academy, the respectable man said with a smile.

"Later I lost my legs and thought I could never stand up with my own strength. At that time, I thought that the rest of my life must have been living in hell. I gave up all my fantasies and refused to speak or move. Until one day my mother broke into the room and dragged me out of the bedroom. At that time, I had been lying in the bed for a week, and my body was stinking."

When talking about the events at that time, he still remembers them vividly.

"My parents drove me to a nearby court. The weather was bad at that time, and the wind was blowing at level 10, but there were still athletes training. They were trembling with coldness. The ball was blown back when it was passed. Every time they made a mistake, they had to run far away to pick up the ball. The coach scolded them so hard that no one gave up. My father helped me over in the wind and asked them why they didn't give up. They told my father that they didn't want to be losers."

"That's it, I was attracted by their passion and passion. My family took out all their savings to replace me with a flexible prosthetic leg. I trained with those athletes and became a member of them. After years of hard work, we finally won the runner-up."

When talking about the past, this respectable person is always immersed in his memories of the past. When he talks about the pessimism after the car accident, the young people present can feel his despair and sadness at that time. As he overcomes difficulties, his situation gradually improves, he begins to dance, his whole body is full of vitality, from a darkness to a vivid and vivid life, until the end of this short life, everyone still feels unfulfilled.

"I learned a lot from sports. We have a common goal. In order to achieve it, everyone needs their efforts and cooperation. The team members can feel that they are an inseparable member of the collective. The collective honor is the personal honor, the collective dream is the personal dream, and every progress of the collective comes from every individual surpassing themselves. When we gather into a team, everyone must work towards the goal of scoring and sacrifice themselves to protect their teammates when necessary."

"I think, that's what sports have to tell me: persevere, work hard, surpass, cooperate."

"The hardship of life is not just about perseverance, but about telling us why we should persevere."

The gentleman infected everyone who visited with his enthusiasm, and everyone shook hands with him, treating this as a kind of glory.

I once shook hands with such a strong warrior. Did I get anything from him? - When the students think so, Eric's teaching class succeeded.

In fact, they think so. No one cares about the difference between ordinary people and mutants. The greatness in human nature transcends ethnic groups.

On the way back, the young people were silent and silently pondering their past.

They also had dark years, and because of their mutant identity, they were rejected by their family and friends, and had to wander around the world.

Compared with the lucky ones among ordinary people, they are unfortunate and have to bear the bad luck they should not bear at a young age.

But compared with those unfortunate people, they were so lucky that the college took them in and they were able to rest and recuperate.

In the past, such experiences were the root of their hatred of ordinary people and rejecting ordinary lifestyles, but now they began to think about whether there is a way to change their lives and change their destiny like that respectable person.

They thought a lot on the short journey, and all kinds of thoughts came to their hearts, but most of them were sceptical and confused. Gradually, they turned their attention to their mentors. The man who brought them to visit must have his ideas and he will definitely be able to point out a way for him.

They still remember that when the respectable gentleman was in desperate situation, it was his parents who came to rescue him from the darkness. Mr. Eric, if you can save us who are also in desperate situations like those parents, we will also regard you as our most respected father.
