Gently touch the handle of the teacup with one finger, and the cold milk tea instantly becomes hot again.

Tang Xuening smiled and thanked the other party, and then continued to chat with the old man in the wheelchair.

This is the ninth cup of milk tea for this oriental girl who entered X College (Note 1) on foot in the name of "visiting". A series of contents such as tea skills dragged this inexplicable conversation into the third hour.

Although neither the old man nor the girl said anything, the other people present finally couldn't bear it anymore.

After a long period of patience, Stormy, who had been standing by the side, finally endured this kind of "good day hahaha" type of non-nutritious talk to the limit, and changed her reminder method from the beginning to a slight cough similar to ordinary throat discomfort It became like the advanced stage of severe bronchitis.

"Ah... Sorry, I haven't communicated with ordinary people for too long, so I am very interested in your thoughts."

The old man—Professor X, the founder of Academy X and a powerful mutant with psychic powers, finally understood Storm's hint after a moment of surprise, so he directly pushed the topic to the main topic:

"Then my guest, what is your business in coming to my academy?

If any of your friends or relatives have troubles about blood, please trust us, we will try our best to give him or her the most suitable help without responding to his or her normal life and confidentiality. "

"Why do you say that?"

Listening to Professor X's subtle hint of empathy (Note 2), the girl smiled and asked:

"Can't it be me who is bothered?"

"Excuse me for being presumptuous..."

Storm Girl joined the conversation. Although she didn't say it directly, her impatient expression and cold tone had already clearly expressed the meaning of "seeing off guests".

"But as far as we know you're not a mutant..."

"Ok?"

Tang Xuening asked with feigned surprise.

"Isn't the famous 'X-Men' not helping ordinary people?"

"No, that's not what I meant!"

The storm girl, who was slightly irritable because of exhaustion of patience, realized at this time that she had said the wrong thing.

She suddenly realized that if what she said just now was published in the newspaper, the image that the X-Men had spent countless efforts to build up over the years might be in vain because of the wrong interpretation of what she just said.

"Don't worry, Miss Tang knows that's not what you mean, and she's not a reporter who came all the way to trouble us."

But Professor X comforted the Storm girl with a smile, and said to the girl opposite with a sincere face:

"Miss Tang, please don't mind Miss Monroe's (note 3) unintentional words, the purpose of my formation of the X-Men back then was to help people in need—not just limited to mutants.

So, please tell us your troubles, and we will try our best to help you if the situation is true and does not violate ethics, laws and our principles. "

"It's a water-tight answer. Did you study business or law before?"

After complaining slightly, Tang Xuening said calmly with Professor X's smile:

"I have formed an organization, and I am here to invite you to participate."

"Then who are the members of this organization?"

Professor X looked at the girl and asked, in the case of similar ideas, he is not opposed to participating in some constructive organizations (Note 4).

"Then what is the purpose of this organization?"

"I'm the only one in this organization right now."

In the slightly surprised eyes of the two mutants on the opposite side, the girl continued:

"My purpose is simple - to bring peace to this planet."

"Uh……"

Without contempt or ridicule, Professor X replied with a very apologetic expression:

"Excuse me, I think..."

Obviously, in his opinion, the girl in front of him was just an unrealistic fantasy—he had seen many such people after mutants, aliens, and aliens appeared in people's sights one after another.

"Of course, as one of the necessary steps to bring peace, I will reconcile the contradictions between mutants and ordinary people."

But before Professor X finished speaking, the ordinary girl interrupted him and continued:

"After all, before this matter is settled, you probably don't have much time to carry out our organizational activities."

"...Professor, your class will start soon in the afternoon."

Storm Girl has always been a very realistic person, so at this time she did not bluntly say that the girl is whimsical, which is already a proof of her good self-cultivation.

"Professor Xavier, what do you think is the source of the conflict between mutants and ordinary people?"

But the girl asked suddenly as if she didn't hear the meaning behind Storm Girl's words.

"difference."

Professor X gave a simple but very serious answer.

"Differences create contradictions between us."

"So where do you think this difference comes from?"

The girl continued with her question.

"Our innate talent."

And this time when answering, Professor X's expression was very complicated

——Perhaps in the past, he could tell the other party very confidently that this talent is a gift from God to mutants, but after witnessing countless tragedies over the years, is this talent good or bad for mutants? He himself began to hesitate.

"The same talent, better body, better memory, sharper perception, these things have always been envied."

The girl's question didn't end there, she asked the next question after getting Professor X's answer:

"Then why do ordinary people reject and fear it when it is applied to mutants?"

"Because we're so different..."

Professor X shook his head, even within Academy X, those mutants who have broken away from normal human appearance due to their abilities will inevitably be alienated to some extent, let alone in a normal society where normal people make up the majority—— They have always been the main force of Magneto.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand if you think about it, except for circuses and film companies, who would hire a "monster"?

But they can't find a job and don't have a good parent. How many choices do they have besides relying on their talents to embark on a criminal path?

And these people who were forced to commit crimes further deepened the contradiction between ordinary people and mutants, and a chain of hatred was born.

But even knowing all this, Professor X expressed powerlessness in the face of this vicious circle.

"But I don't think so!"

But this time, the girl sneered after getting his answer.

"The gap between wolves and humans is greater than the difference between mutants and ordinary people, but after they were domesticated as dogs, they became 'man's best friend'. Why do you think?"

"You bastard!"

After hearing the girl use dogs as a metaphor for mutants, the veins on Storm Girl's forehead showed, and she is now very sure of one thing:

She didn't like the oriental girl in front of her, not at all!

"Ololo! Miss Tang is not malicious!"

Professor X stopped Storm, who was about to leave after rushing forward to teach someone a lesson.

Although some words sound extremely harsh, they also make sense when you think about it carefully-it is what I, Eric and other mutants have never thought of, and what I see from the perspective of "ordinary people" question.

"Can you talk about your thoughts? As I said just now, I haven't talked with ordinary people like you for a long time. I want to know your thoughts. Maybe in this way I can really find a way for us to coexist peacefully. ..."

"Peaceful coexistence? That's your first mistake—or one that pretty much all mutants in 'you' have."

The girl stretched out a finger and shook it, her sneering expression slowly turned into a sneer.

"You are always emphasizing your own differences, and then attribute all contradictions to this difference, and then talk about how you have been persecuted, while turning a blind eye to what some mutants did.

What do you think ordinary people will think when they see the huge difference between what you say and what is happening around them-it can be said that half of the contradictions between you and ordinary people are caused by yourself. "

"..."

After getting this answer, Professor X fell into deep thought.

Perhaps to some extent the girl is right. The crime rate of mutants—especially the young mutants who have just awakened has been high. The first thing that comes to mind when teenagers in the middle and second stages gain power It is violence.

"But what do you know as an ordinary person!"

However, unlike Professor X, Stormy, who is usually mature and stable but was born in a slum, felt that she had to stand up and say a few words for mutants:

"You don't even know how they treat us! They treat us like monsters! Lock our companions in the laboratory for research!"

"When I meet horrible creatures with strange powers, I call them monsters. If I catch such monsters, I will put them in cages and study them carefully."

But Storm Girl's answer was exchanged for the girl's merciless ridicule.

"This is your second mistake-mystery, a person with a gun walking on the street, everyone may be afraid, but they will not think that the other party is different from themselves, let alone think that the other party is a monster, because everyone ——Even people who have never touched a gun can understand how the opponent's 'ability' came about.

But you keep emphasizing that this is a gift, a gift from heaven, but when people want to understand these abilities, you often use various reasons to hinder people from analyzing and understanding the X factor, as if it is something sacred and untouchable - I've always wondered what on earth you guys are thinking, or is this keeping secret part of the X-Factor? "

The girl nodded suspiciously at the coffee table with milk tea in front of her, and explained slowly:

"You need to know that there is a gap that will cause a estrangement, because the two sides of the estrangement lack communication, no communication brings strangeness, strangeness brings unknown, and unknown is..."

"And the unknown is the root of fear, isn't it?"

Professor X spoke the conclusion instead of the girl, and the storm girl was also lost in thought at the moment.

"Yes, if you generously cooperate with the military's research, it is best to make it known to everyone, and it is best to attach an authoritative contract, then do you think the military will dare to try those inhumane terrorist experiments? ?”

The girl nodded to Professor X and said:

"If they still dare to do this in the case, then sue them~

This kind of lawsuit is almost certain to win as long as there is evidence and public opinion. There must be countless lawyers waiting to add a little sparkle to their reputation. They will line up to help you

- Believe me, I have personally experienced this kind of service before. "

After finishing speaking, the girl slapped the coffee table heavily, emphasizing her tone:

"When you accuse three or five generals of disgrace to step down and go to jail, the Minister of Defense bows on the stage, and the President apologizes sincerely on TV, it is best to come after the United Nations condemns.

You can make everyone think you are victims while holding hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation. All your past actions are no longer "monster attacks" but "resistance to tyranny/government". All the media under the banner of political correctness will be your backing

——I would like to know what kind of fool would dare to touch that red line again under such circumstances?

But what is happening now is that you yourself have cut the way, you have turned yourselves into 'monsters'. "

The author has something to say: Any idea why I don't want comics involving Marvel?

Not to mention a bunch of bugs in it, the title of "smartest person on earth" is basically worthless!

Even Ant-Man is one of the smartest people on earth. Someone in the movie saw that the guy had a high IQ! ?

On the other hand, the events involved in the manga are incredibly chaotic, and it feels like some of them should never have happened or could have happened in the "big world" where all the characters exist!

Even if it is limited to movies, I can only downplay the Fantastic Four and some logically unreasonable parts as much as possible. It will be completely messed up, and there is no room for rationalization.

Note 1: X Academy was rebuilt from the castle inherited by Professor X. In several prequels (such as "First War" and "Apocalypse"), it seems that students can drive in and out freely, but it is hard to imagine the US government After experiencing the crisis where the president was directly threatened and the human race was almost extinct, there will still be a lack of control here.So "walking into" is an abnormal situation.

Note 2: For a period of time, mutants were very unpopular because of Magneto's terror/attacks, even some mutants themselves were unwilling to admit that they were mutants, and thought they were "sick".

Note 3: Storm Girl's real name is Orolo Monroe. Professor X's name is Charles Francis Xavier.In addition, it is said that Magneto's real name is Max Eisenhart, and he was once aliased as Eric Lanshel, and Eric Lanshel's statement will be uniformly adopted later.

Note 4: In addition to the X-Men established by himself, he is also a member of the Illuminati (also translated as "New Avengers").
