Chapter 22 The Least Popular Ability
"Only you guys? No one anymore?"
Looking at the empty circular classroom, Professor Charles Xavier asked in disbelief to the few students sitting in the front row.
They wore all kinds of strange metal hats on their heads, and some even made Charles suspect that they had changed it in a stew pot.
"Teach, professor...they..."
The only female student who was not dressed up seemed to want to say something, but she repeatedly tried to speak for a while and just gave Charles a look that you "understand" everything.
After the "X-Men" team successfully saved the passenger plane that crashed into downtown Brooklyn, New York, Charles Xavier, one of the school's most popular professors, received unprecedented high attention and sought after.
Even more eye-catching than Elvis Presley, the most dazzling star of the current era.
But in these two days, some wind started to blow.
More and more students are beginning to doubt their privacy and secrets, and have been spotted by Professor Xavier.
Some people say that the arrested department was reported by Professor Charles in violation of school rules, and some people claim that the failure of genetics was because he had criticized Mr. Xavier in his mind and was hated by him.
What's even exaggerated is that some students even blamed the breakdown of their relationship with their girlfriends on the professor's instilling their cheating behavior into their girlfriends' minds and said that they had never done anything like that.
Soon, even the aisle outside the door was filled with students' genetics classes, and suddenly it became deserted.
These students would rather not score the grades in this course than enter Charles' classroom again. The few students who are willing to come are all bold and unrestrained.
They have a more game-like mentality and try to see if the "shield helmet" they designed can block Professor Charles' mind reading, and keep whispering in class, thinking about offensive things, waiting for the professor to sense it.
Exclusion and isolation by the group you live in is the most painful thing for most people. The ultimate loneliness in the downtown crowd is one of the deepest fears in human nature.
Charles cheered up and finished this class of genetics and chemistry. He left the classroom before these students, and no longer had the usual interest in communicating with them about problems and chatting with them.
Of course, there are no such students anymore.
He also rushed to the teacher's lounge to stuff a pair of sandwiches, and in the afternoon he had to go back to the brainwave room of the Institute of Mutational Power to do more important things.
...........
"Oh! Ze, Professor Xavier, haha... I have something to do, it's a student... it's my wife, it's... you know, let's go first, let's go first..."
The tuna sandwich that Charles had just picked up fell on the plate. When a familiar biology professor saw him, he panicked and made excuses and ran away without expressing his words.
After looking at the warm sandwich, Charles felt very hungry, his stomach was wriggling and twitching, but there was no desire to get his mouth down.
His surroundings gradually became quieter. The teachers who were originally eating in the leisure room and playing chess and chatting all stayed away or walked away.
"I would recommend eating tuna while it's hot, as this thing will be a little fishy when it's cold."
Eric Lancheer patted Charles on the shoulder and picked a portion of mango and blueberries to eat.
He never ate food from the canteen in the school. He always prepared dishes for him in advance in the manor's cabinets.
Eric leaned gently against the table where he picked up his food, threw a few blueberries into his mouth and chewed them in big mouths.
Charles smiled reluctantly, looked at the cheerful and chic Eric Lancheer, and felt a strange envy in his heart.
"To be honest, if you have to choose a 'most unpopular' mutant ability, then telepathy should have the most hope of winning."
Eric smirked and elbowed Charles with his elbow. It was the most incredible if people didn't mind Charles' strength and still treated him as usual.
"You can consider selling that kind of helmet in school, and you will definitely make a lot of money."
Charles finally spoke, his spirit seemed to have improved and he had recovered a little of his former spirit.
"Ho! My dad will break my legs! That kind of helmet is not easy to build, and the truly effective synthetic ratio and casting process are very high."
Eric ate the last slice of mango, took the napkin and wiped his hands, and said:
"The trouble has just begun. Charles, is there anything you need help? Dad doesn't have a bad impression of you."
Charles Xavier suddenly remembered that there was a message that should be told to Eric, but he thought about it and suppressed the idea again and thought:
"I haven't finished something yet. I'll talk to Mr. Howlet after I've settled it."
Charles packed the sandwich and prepared to stay on the way to Mutation Institute before eating. He hurriedly passed by Eric and left.
Today is the only time he squeezed out time to leave the institute. Charles Xavier's classroom has been in the brainwave room for many days since President Kennedy was assassinated.

Greenland, Wolf Nest Base.
The core hall of the underground base was built into an Olympian Palace of the Gods, a simple and magnificent symbol full of power.
James Howlett did not sit on the high-back "throne" made of vibrian gold, but stood aside and looked at the busy people preparing.
Page Rogers finally decided to undergo the evolution of the "Styx" serum today. Although Steve told her many times that after the evolution is successful, he will restore his physiological appearance to a relatively young age due to the self-healing ability he has obtained.
But Miss Peggy still wanted to try to get earlier, and would rather take some risks than practice for a few years and try to break through the threshold of killing and then inject it.
Dr. Erskine understood this step very well when he rescued himself from the Hydra Fortress during World War II and worked together for many years.
The doctor is already in his seventies and is still in charge of Peggy's evolutionary rituals in person today. Compared to the worries of Steve, Bucky and others, he has a very firm confidence in Peggy.
"Okay Peggy, remember, as long as you stay awake, there will be nothing wrong."
Dr. Erskine squinted his eyes kindly and smiled at Peggy who had just lying in. He was now full of silver-white hair and thin body, and only his eyes were still so bright and gentle.
Buzz...
The egg-shaped evolution cabin made by vibrator finally began to supply energy. After a few minutes, it gradually stopped trembling. James had already felt Page's vigorous breath of life. He curled the corners of his mouth and no longer worried. He walked aside and talked to Dr. Erskine:
"Don't you really think about it anymore?"
The old doctor looked at Mr. Howlet, who was always young, smiled heartily, shook his head and said:
"Maybe I am not a person who purely pursues the path of science. Unlike Zola, he is now thinking about how to preserve his brain and continue to do research 'forever'. But for me, this world lacks nostalgia, so let everything go."
Dr. Erskine's relatives were all captured and detained by the Red Skeleton during World War II, and eventually died in the concentration camp. This doctor, who is full of warmth in his heart, is more willing to live warmer than the cold path of truth.
If it weren't for Steve in the old house of Howlet over the years, Page and Bucky, the younger generations he valued, who might have been in love with, perhaps the old doctor would have left this world long ago.
"gentlemen."
Erskine took off her glasses, wiped them habitually and put them on, and smiled and sighed:
"I don't have the courage to continue walking like you. No one knows what the future path will be like. 'The sky falls and there is a tall man holding on'. Although you are not pedantic and do not have the world's mind, it cannot be denied that you are the 'tall' person."
James exhaled and patted the doctor on the shoulder, as if an elder was comforting the younger generation, but the excessive differences in appearance between the two seemed a bit inconsistent.
Peggy had already put on a blanket to cover her agile figure wearing only shorts and breasts. She was much taller, her shoulders became wider, and she had no trace of fat on her body, and she was as strong as a female leopard.
Steve watched his wife go well, and then took out the supplementary potion from "Styx" and pierced it on himself. The couple completed the final evolution and transformation.
Miss Peggy took out the gift from Mr. Howlet when she and Steve were newly married, a pair of special pistols made by secondary Edman. At that time, Peggy's size was not very good at picking up the gun, and now it just happened to be right.
"How does it feel."
James returned to the transformation test room and spoke easily to Page.
"Great! The power of killing skills... has changed very differently. It turns out that this is why Steve's combat power was far superior to the "super soldier" in the United States now..."
"Yes, in essence, this kind of power is supported by the strength of vitality. Even ordinary people, if they can practice to the third or even the second level, they can have extraordinary power, let alone the physical foundation that breaks through the limits of the human body through serum transformation."
In recent years, Page has also reached the threshold of the first level of killing skills, and this standard is also the lowest line for injecting into the "Styx".
Through serum transformation, she, like Bucky, has also broken through this level of limit, but to this point, the first disciple Steve Rogers, has been practicing to the second level so far.
"Have the list been confirmed?"
James finally asked, as Miss Page, who is in charge of the intelligence work of the Howlet family, the work she bears on weekdays is much more important than Steve and Bucky who are now carrying only "wolf cubs".
"It has been confirmed, especially after Professor Xavier's incident, the support and opposition voices have become clearer. The position of the upper level of American rights has been clear. Have you decided the time to act?"
"The president was assassinated very unusual. I originally planned to act immediately when I received this news, but I found that there was another person in the prey they really wanted to capture. Wait a few more days, and it will be almost done."
James smiled. Bucky had long suggested that he should start early and get rid of Director Hoover who was secretly investigating.
But Edgar Hoover seems to be a person, but in fact, it is fundamentally connected with a large number of conservative politicians who are conservative in the Cold War mentality created by this era.
