It was another gloomy day, and Jimmy's coffin was transported to the cemetery for burial. Among the luxuriant yew trees, the impulsive boy would rest in peace.

There were many people present at the ceremony. In addition to the relatives of the Reins family and friends in the mutant circle, there were also people who were rescued in this incident. They wore dark clothes and walked past solemnly. Simply took a few photos on the side and retreated outside.

Now the boy was only surrounded by his parents and uncle. They stood beside the tombstone in a daze, greeting people mechanically, not paying attention to the words of explanation.

A young life passed away. Before he had time to taste the beauty of life, he bid farewell to his relatives.

Eric stood quietly outside the crowd, and there were fewer and fewer people left. He didn't turn his head slightly until the sound of a wheelchair moving came to him.

It was the professor. With the support of Ms. Mora, the bald old man was looking at him with the most severe eyes in his life.

"Activities outside the academy must be terminated, Eric." The old man's voice was low and irrefutable. "I want you to get out of here, out of my academy."

The wheelchair stopped for a few seconds, and then disappeared on the forest path as if it had never appeared before. Eric seemed to have not heard the professor's warning, and just stood alone under the evergreen water pine and stared there. .

Mariano helped his sister to pass in front of him. The young man who used to warmly call "Leader" gave him a complicated look, and passed him by without saying anything. .

Next came Nick, whose chubby face had sunk deeply in a short period of time due to the pain of old age and bereavement.

He stopped in front of Eric.

"In Jimmy's diary, I found out what he hid from us." Nick's hoarse voice sounded. "He was always worried that he would be killed by you, so he tried to expand his power, but it was this that ruined him. I heard what the young man said about the mall. I don't blame you, it was Mariano and I. He told too many heroic stories."

"I'm very sorry." Eric said this after a long silence.

Nick raised his face and let the rain fall on his face, gradually his whole face became wet.

"It's over. It's over." The father stubbornly looked up at the sky.The weakness suddenly took away all his strength, and his steel and iron bones, which were no less than Logan's, became sore and limp. "I thought that our next generation could get rid of the fate of our elders through hard work, but I didn't expect to exchange his life...Are we guilty? Why use blood to win the understanding of the world?"

"Goodbye, Eric."

"Goodbye."

Light rain began to fall, and Nick Reince's figure disappeared from Eric's eyes.

The cemetery is deserted, white lilies and extinguished candles shivering in the rain.A stagnation in Eric's chest continued to swell.Like a raging flame, he always wanted to shout loudly.

Finally he tightened his collar and left the deserted woods.

At the exit of the forest, a girl greeted her.

"Mr. Eric." Christina's face was extremely haggard, and her baby-fat little face had lost weight at some point. She walked over slowly with her hands behind her back.

Eric watched her get closer quietly, and then the girl threw herself into his arms as if seeking comfort.

"I'm sorry." Christina whispered, and then his waist hurt and he was stabbed several times by some sharp object. The hard metalized cells failed to block the sharp spikes.Once the cold liquid is injected, it immediately fuses with the blood.

The girl jumped back violently.

"Strike came out?" Eric asked lightly, feeling the effect of the liquid injected into his body.The only ones who can instruct the girl to do this are her parents. Warren has neither the courage nor the reason to be his enemy for no reason. Then there is only one possibility. After thinking about the meaning of life in prison, Stryker returned to his original position.

"I'm sorry." Christina dropped the micro-syringe in her hand, and walked backward step by step.

"Silly girl, you are going in the wrong direction, the gate is here."

Without catching up, Eric shook his head in pity, stepped on the extremely hard carbon composite needle, and walked away.

There were many suspicious people outside the cemetery. In their flickering eyes, Eric led more and more people following him, and headed all the way to the college.

"Just let him in like this?" Several men in uniform watched nervously as Eric stepped into the closed academy on the mobile monitoring vehicle a mile away.

"His strength hasn't faded yet, isn't he looking for death if he does it now?" Pointing at the crooked and deformed iron gate of the academy behind the target, the leading man yelled at his subordinates in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being discovered by people in the distance.

"Don't worry, there are people from us in the academy, she can ensure that there is no place for our new Magneto." The door of the surveillance car suddenly opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in immediately, and the people in the car were hit at the same time. a shudder.

A blond man walked in, he proudly raised his chiseled jaw that looked like it was cut from granite, and strolled to the monitor screen.

"Mutants are nothing more than that." He proudly pointed to Christina who was being embraced by his father on one of the screens, watching her cry bitterly, the blond man satirized disdainfully.

in the college.

Eric didn't go back to his room, and he had nothing to clean up. He came outside the classroom where he was teaching daily, pushed open the door, and walked in under the surprised eyes of the professor and the students.

"You have been fired." Ms. Mora was sitting gracefully behind the professor, and the young man's hostile eyes could not shake her firm will. Now that Eric came in, she immediately stood up like an offended hedgehog Get up.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you." Eric was drenched by the rain, but he didn't seem to notice it. He neither felt the bone-chilling chill nor paid attention to Mora's vigilance.

"I once told you the story of Prometheus-the gods monopolized the last thing necessary for human life, and the defenders of human beings managed to steal it away, making human beings from then on. Zeus was furious. Bind Prometheus in chains to the rocks of the Caucasus Mountains, and the hungry eagles peck at his liver every day, and when the sun rises in the east again the next day, his liver grows again. The pain will last for 3 Ten thousand years, and he endured this suffering, never bowing to the villain."

"I used to think I was this fire-stealing Prometheus. I'm sorry, but I couldn't give you flames like him."

Eric's low voice echoed quietly in the classroom, and the students all stood up and focused on the instructor.

"I have been thinking that I can save the fate of my compatriots through my own efforts. If this continues, ten or twenty years later, the new generation of mutants will no longer have to survive in the harsh environment like their predecessors , they will enjoy the joys of life and be part of mainstream society like any young man in this land. But the truth tells me that I think too simply. Black people spent 20 years fighting for their rights, and I thought It's naive that you can win without hard work."

Eric laughed lightly at himself. He didn't intend to say more, but Maura became anxious. While urging the professor, she ordered the young man to return to his seat.

"Let him finish, bitch!" A voice yelled loudly, and the echo in the room made the glass buzz and tremble. His chest was bared, and he stared fiercely at the former agent lady.

Mora shivered, she had never seen Hank like this before, she took a step back involuntarily, and tightly grabbed the professor's shoulder.

Eric looked towards the door, and Hank's rough blue face was full of anger and self-blame. He had never regretted his vacillation so much, and let a human agent instigate and destroy the hard-won situation.

Regarding his old friend, there are some things he can't say for the time being, but he can see Mo La's position very clearly now.

Eric smiled in relief, there was no need to say more.

"Remember, you are mutants, never forget this - if you forget, humans will remind you."

He bowed slightly, said his final farewell to the students, and then hugged the emotional Hank, and the tear-stained Ororo.

"You can stay." The professor's deep voice sounded from behind, followed by Mo La's unbelievable fright and anger.

"And then, live forever like a prisoner?" Eric knew what was waiting for him outside, but he was fearless.

"Professor, you are afraid of me." Eric said lightly while hugging the young man. "Your abilities are above mine, but you never accepted it, just like you never really accepted that you are a mutant. You thought it was pain, a fate you had to accept--but I am not, every Feeling gifted once, I'm proud of my existence."

"You can eliminate my abilities, deprive me of my status, and destroy my career, but there is one thing you can never take away, that is, I am the king of mutants."

The faint voice fell, and his figure disappeared.

"Bang", there was a dull closing sound, the thick wooden door locked the free-flowing wind, the dead space was withered and quiet like the world of the undead, people breathed heavily, and could even feel the rancid smell.

John suddenly rushed to the window, he pulled open the curtains, and greedily watched the familiar figure getting further and further away.

"Oh, my king." Pyro shouted loudly, and his classmates also gathered around him. Boys and girls shouted to the back that was getting further and further away, youth and tears filled their young faces.

As if hearing this shout, Eric stopped at the gate of the campus.

Without looking back, he stepped out of the iron gate with a big hole torn out by the magnetic field, and contemptuously greeted the malicious crowd like a real king. (to be continued~^~)
