Charles and Selina drove an old black car. It was the kind that could only be seen in a car museum. It was retro and classic, and it was well maintained. It looked expensive.
Peter and Ébourg sat in the back seat. Professor Charles sat in the front passenger seat, and Hank drove.
Along the way, Charles and Hank enthusiastically introduced the X Academy to the two of them. They tried their best to reassure Peter, who couldn't hide his worry.
The old black car slowly drove out of the city. It drove on the mountain road, and finally drove into the forest.
The trees on the side of the road were tall and straight. The dense greenery made people feel refreshed. After leaving the noisy city, they gradually returned to the peaceful nature. Ébourg seemed to have become more active after entering the forest. He leaned against the window and looked at the forest with his little mouth open. His eyes were full of smiles.
Peter stroked Ébourg's fluffy hair and asked him, "Are you happy?"
Ébourg nodded heavily and said in a childish voice, "I like this!"
He pointed at the dense trees outside the window with his chubby little finger and said word by word, "I like it the most!"
Professor Charles turned around and looked at Ébourg with his blue eyes full of smiles. He said, "The school is right in front, in the center of the forest. It's surrounded by trees on all sides. There are also many trees and plants in the school. You'll definitely like it."
Ébourg turned around and looked at him, giving him a soft smile.
Ébourg had always known that the creatures on his planet were far weaker than those on other planets in certain aspects. Therefore, as early as Ébourg had a clear consciousness, he began to consciously release a small portion of his energy, urging some of the creatures on Earth to evolve in advance.
Therefore, there were examples of animals transforming into humans and people transforming into gods all over the world.
However, Ébourg later discovered that a planet could not only evolve a high-grade civilization and a low-grade civilization. The gap between the two grades of the same species was too large, resulting in a gap between civilizations. Such a structure was unstable.
Therefore, Ébourg stopped creating divine objects and gods. He continued to release his own energy, but this energy began to consciously choose those humans who had the talent to survive the cruel evolution, and began to evolve for them in advance.
Then, some strange races appeared.
Mutants were one of the races that made up the majority of the population.
Ébourg leaned his head against the window and looked at the two mutated humans in front of him with joy.
He had put in so much effort, and he believed that this beautiful race would not disappear like the dinosaurs in the slow flow of time.
The other three people in the car had no idea what Ébourg was thinking. After the car turned a corner, a huge castle finally appeared in their vision.
As Hank drove the car into the castle, he smiled at the two of them and said, "Welcome to X Academy."
… …
The news of the youngest mutated human in history coming to the school spread throughout the school in less than three minutes after Ébourg and Peter walked through the school gate.
This credit was due to Pietro.
Jean and Kot leaned against the corridor window upstairs, squinting at a group of people walking in the garden. Behind them, Quicksilver leaned over their shoulders and said, "That's the one. He looks six years old at most."
"Is the one holding his hand his brother?" Jean frowned and asked, "Is he also a mutated human?"
Most of the mutated human students who can be found by the professor have suffered unfair treatment in the world of ordinary people. Although Jean's own situation is a little better, she was found because she was tortured by her own ability. However, Jean still knows that most mutated humans don't live well in the world of ordinary people.
If the child who was still so young suffered bad things, it would be too worrying.
"I don't know." Pietro shrugged, "I didn't hear them say this, but I can go and listen now."
Under the castle, Professor Charles was introducing the two of them along the way.
"This is our school. All the teachers and students in it are mutated humans. It's very safe here. No one will hurt Ébourg. Of course, even if there is danger, we have X-Men to protect everyone's safety, and everyone will be very friendly to Ébourg and take care of him."
Peter took Ébourg's hand and walked beside him. Professor Charles couldn't help but touch Ébourg's head and said with a smile, "But most of the people here have no experience in taking care of children. Maybe I can hire a nanny for Ébourg."
"Me me me! I can take care of him! " A gust of wind blew fiercely, and Peter was dazzled. A silver-haired man stood in front of him and said excitedly, "I used to take care of my sister. I have experience!"
Peter quickly protected Ébourg and asked warily, "Who are you?"
"Don't worry, Peter, this is Pietro." Professor Charles quickly said, "People in the school have various abilities. Pietro's ability is his high-speed movement."
"Hello, I am Pietro Maksimov, code name Quicksilver." Quicksilver held his goggles and gestured to Peter, "You can call me Pietro."
Peter nodded hesitantly, "Hello, I am Peter Parker. You can call me Peter."
Ébourg was still protected by Peter. He poked his head out from behind Peter and looked at Pietro curiously with big eyes.
"No, Pietro, we can't let you take care of Ébourg." Charles said, "You are a day student. Do you remember?"
Pietro froze for a moment, "Okay, but I can help take care of him when I am at school."
He bent down and held out his hand to Ébourg. "Hello, what's your name?"
Ébourg looked at his palm, reached out his small hand, shook it, smiled, and two shallow dimples appeared on his white and tender cheeks. "I am Ébourg."
"… So cute!" Pietro covered his heart and asked, "So, are you two my new classmates?"
Peter shook his head, "I am not a mutant. I am just here to send Ébourg off."
Although he could help Ébourg find a suitable mutant school for him, Peter looked worried and didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Charles moved the wheelchair forward and said, "Let's go take a look at Ébourg's room."
Ébourg's room was on the fourth floor of the castle. When they opened the door, they saw a spacious room with a separate bathroom. There were some children's books on the table and a few stuffed animals on the bed.
Charles said, "Because we were in a hurry, we only made some simple decorations. My room is next door. You can look for me if you need anything."
"The student dormitory is on the third floor," Pietro said, "The professor specially gave the room next to his to Ébourg."
Peter froze for a moment and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, the preparation is really great."
Then he gently pushed Ébourg forward and said, "Ébourg, go take a look at your room from now on."
Unexpectedly, Ébourg's attention wasn't attracted by the new room. He turned around, tilted his head and asked doubtfully, "Am I going to live here from now on?"
Charles nodded and said gently, "Yes, child."
Ébourg asked again, "Isn't Peter coming with me?"
Peter's throat suddenly became dry.
This was the reason why he had been so worried all the way here.
Although Peter understood that sending Ébourg to the mutant school was the right choice, Ébourg had already been abandoned once. Peter was afraid that Ébourg would feel that he was being abandoned a second time. This would be too cruel for a six-year-old child.
Looking into Ébourg's innocent and clear eyes, Peter suddenly felt that he really couldn't bear to part with Ébourg.
Peter squatted down, put his hand on Ébourg's shoulder, looked into Ébourg's eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Ébourg, I'm not a mutant, so I can't be here with you." Then he quickly said, "But I'll come to see you often. I'll come every weekend, and I'll call you occasionally."
Ébourg laughed, "Okay, Peter, I understand."
Charles looked at Ébourg. This child was just as Peter said, so obedient that it made one's heart ache.
Peter gently kissed Ébourg's head and said, "I'll miss you, Ébourg."
Earth · 4.5 billion years old · Ébourg said in a childish voice, "I'll miss you too."
…
Three believers wore linen cloaks that covered their faces. They quietly found the location on the map in their hands and took out shovels to dig.
They didn't know how long they dug, but they finally dug through the ground and exposed the underground tunnel.
The three were ecstatic and climbed in with shovels.
Sunlight poured in through the tunnel they dug, reflected by the smooth stone wall underground and shone on a 'corpse.'
Only then did the three of them notice that there was a body lying not far from them. They cried out in alarm and scrambled away from that place. Then, they saw the 'corpse' suddenly open its eyes.
"I'm … awake?"
