In the afternoon, Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.

Under Mark's hospitality, Peter and Rebecca returned to Xavier after having a delicious dessert meal.As soon as the two got out of the taxi, a man in overalls walked straight towards them.

Peter said with a smile, "Hi, Larry, are you here to do the gardening today?"

Larry looked at Peter, then at Rebecca, and then he looked at Peter and said, "You two better come to my office."

Peter was taken aback.

Larry smiled, turned and walked away.

Rebecca asked suspiciously, "His office?"

Peter turned his head sadly, looked at Rebecca, and said, "Actually, you didn't ask for leave at all, did you?"

Rebecca twitched her lips, smiled, and asked, "How do you know?"

Peter covered his face, moaned, and moaned: "Oh my God, I should have thought, we have been together, you have no time to ask for leave, how can I be so stupid! It's over! We both skipped the professor's class, it's over !!"

Rebecca reached out and patted his arm, and said calmly: "Okay, let me tell the truth, when we were going out just now, the professor talked to me in my head, and I told him that I was going shopping .”

Peter looked at Rebecca speechlessly, that's it? "So, are you taking this conversation as a leave of absence?"

"He knew where we were going and didn't stop us. Isn't that considered a leave?" Rebecca asked back.

Peter shook his head, sighed, and said, "Of course not! Hey, forget it, let's go to the professor's office first!"

"That man was a professor just now? Can he transform?" Rebecca grabbed Peter's clothes to prevent him from leaving, "Hey! Peter!"

"No, he's not!" Peter pulled the hem of his shirt back from Rebecca's hand, "Let's go, he already knows we're back, we'd better hurry over to see him."

Rebecca looked at Peter's "I'm screwed, you screwed" expression noncommittally, and followed him into Xavier.

Charles' office.

"They're back!" Charles smiled and picked up a chess piece and dropped it between the black and white grids. Eric was sitting on the opposite side of the chessboard.

Eric heard his words, raised his eyes to look out the window, frowned slightly and said, "Why did that kid follow her?"

Charles folded his hands on the tie and said, "Bodyguard? Rebecca told me so."

"He's not qualified to be a bodyguard!" Eric said in a cold tone, reached out to pick up one of his chess pieces, landed in front of Charles' chess piece, and said, "Reckless, naive, ignorant!"

"It seems that you are very dissatisfied with him?" Charles smiled faintly, staring at Eric's expressionless face, "Does your dissatisfaction come from him himself or because of Rebecca?"

"Is it important?" Eric looked back at him, "It's your turn!"

Charles smiled, turned to look at the door, and said, "Come in!"

The door opens automatically.

Peter and Rebecca stood side by side outside the door. When they saw Charles and Eric playing chess, they both showed surprise on their faces.Peter was surprised that Eric was playing chess with Charles, and Rebecca was surprised that his father hadn't left Xavier yet. He didn't seem like someone who would stay quietly in Xavier.

"Why are you standing there?" Charles looked at the two children with a smile, "Come in!"

Peter oh oh, walked in slowly, and said: "Professor, um, sorry, I didn't ask for leave... I didn't mean to skip class, really, I just, I thought, well, count it Yes, it's true that I skipped class, so I'm sorry!"

Charles glanced at him and said, "Take it easy, Peter."

Peter nodded, stood in front of the chessboard, scratching his head.

Rebecca walked up to Peter and met Eric's silent gaze. She smiled at him, turned to look at the professor, and said, "I asked Peter to go out with me, so it shouldn't be counted as him skipping class." ,Right?"

Charles pondered holding a chess piece, and said, "Oh, that's right!" He paused, and said, "Actually, I didn't ask you two to come here because of the class!"

Peter was relieved when he heard this, hehehe, it turned out that the professor didn't call them to come to the office for this, that's great!In the next few days, he has to study hard, and he must not skip class. If Mr. Stark knows that he is "again" skipping class, the spider suit that Mr. Stark has temporarily forgotten will probably be confiscated.

Charles glanced at Peter with a half-smile, and said, "Tony will be very busy these days, so he probably won't have time to pay attention to your situation at school, but that doesn't mean you can skip classes at will!"

Peter nodded, and said obediently: "I know, I won't." He raised his left hand, "I swear I will really study hard from today! Really!"

"Did you ask me and Peter to watch you play chess?" Rebecca asked.

Charles looked at Eric. The old father hadn't spoken since Rebecca came into the office. He said, "Eric."

Eric and Charles looked at each other, why are you calling my name?I have nothing to say to them!

No you have!Charles laughed.

Eric frowned, are you meddling too much?

Charles's smile deepened, and he looked at Eric. I know that it is really difficult to speak up about some things, but as long as you say it, you will find that it is not difficult!

Oh, something?what you mean?Eric raised his eyebrows, I said I have nothing to say to them, don't be self-righteous!

Charles stared at Eric with a smile, you really don't think about it?Now is a very good opportunity!

I found that since you were made young by Rebecca, your brain has become childish!Eric frowned at him.

Peter and Rebecca looked at Charles and Eric suspiciously, it seemed strange that they were staring at each other so deeply, one grinning and the other smiling.

Rebecca tilted her head, looked at Charles and said, "Oh, I see, you two are talking telepathically! Isn't that right?" She suddenly moved closer to Charles, squatting down beside him, her hands resting on the legs of his wheelchair. Armrest, looked up at Charles, and said with a smile: "I want to join too, it looks very fun!"

Eric looked at the smiling faces of Rebecca and Charles, dropped the chess piece in his hand, stood up suddenly, snorted coldly at Charles, and said, "Rebecca!"

Rebecca turned her head when she heard the sound, blinked her big eyes a few times, looked at Eric with a sullen face, and said, "Huh? What's wrong?"

"He should have something to tell you!" Charles said slowly.

"Childish!" Eric said coldly to Charles, turned around and strode away from Charles' office.

Rebecca looked at Eric's angry look, and murmured: "Real people and legends are really different."

"Oh? What about the legendary Eric?" Charles asked with interest.

Rebecca thought for a while and said, "A powerful and wise mutant leader."

"Wow, are you sure that's a legend you heard and not a compliment you gave your dad?" Peter asked.

Rebecca glanced at Peter and said, "Haven't you heard of it?"

Peter shrugged and said, "I've heard about Qiangqiang, but the others... well, I don't know much about it. To be honest, it seems that those comics about the X-Men haven't mentioned it either!"

Rebecca ignored him, looked up at Charles, and said, "That's what I heard about Magneto!"

Charles listened to the conversation between the two of them with a smile, and asked, "So, now?"

Rebecca said without hesitation: "Based on my contact yesterday and today, his temper is really not very good, so what kind of wisdom and calmness are probably eaten by dogs?"

"Pfft!" Peter laughed, "Eat by a dog? Hahaha, Rebecca, what do you say about your father? I think he will be very angry, but fortunately he is not here now!"

Charles showed a look of approval on his face, and said teasingly: "You are right, the description of being eaten by a dog is very accurate!"

Peter showed a surprised look, did he hear correctly?The professor who has always been gentle is actually talking "bad things" about Magneto with Rebecca!He scratched his chin and said, "That..."

Charles and Rebecca looked at Peter.

"Is it really okay for you to say that?" Peter showed a worried look on his face, "If he knew..."

Charles laughed, looked out of the office door meaningfully, and said calmly: "Oh, so what if he knows that? What Rebecca said is the truth, isn't it?"

Rebecca nodded agreeingly, and said, "That's right! Also, I think he seems a little strange! Professor, do you think he has something to say to me?"

Charles nodded and said, "Maybe he's not ready yet!"

Rebecca showed a curious look, and said, "I don't know what he wants to tell me, but since you said so, then I'll just wait!"

Peter looked at Rebecca, then at Charles, and finally spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Well, you can say so if you like! By the way, Professor, why did you ask us to see you?"

There was a sly smile on the corner of Charles' mouth, and he said slowly: "Oh, I've said all I have to say!"

Peter and Rebecca looked at each other puzzled.

At this moment, they didn't know that not far from Charles' office, Eric, who Rebecca said was calm and eaten by a dog, stood there silently, staring at the direction of the office with a livid face.

Xavier student accommodation.

After playing chess with Charles in his office for a while, Rebecca went back to the dormitory with the sleepy Peter. She stood at the door of her room, glanced at Peter who was yawning wide open, and asked, "What did you do yesterday?" Didn't sleep well at night?"

Peter wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said bitterly: "Hey, did you forget? You turned my battle suit into a butterfly last night, which made me catch, butterfly, butterfly all night!"

"Oh! That's right!" Rebecca glanced at Peter, turned her head and pushed open the door of her own room, "Then go to sleep! I will call you if something happens!"

"Hey, Rebecca!"

Rebecca turned to look at Peter: "What?"

Peter yawned again, looked at her sleepily and said, "Well...I just want to ask...you want me to be your bodyguard..."

Rebecca raised her eyebrows and said, "What? Are you planning to break the contract?"

"No, that's not what I meant!" Peter waved his hand, "I just suddenly thought, didn't you say that you ran away from home? Your mother sent someone to look for you in that shopping mall just now, so you let me be your personal Is the bodyguard... uh, is it because of your mother?"
