Peter didn't stay at the school for too long. He accompanied Ébourg around the school for a while, then said goodbye to him and left.
The Quicksilver Pietro Friendship Express sent him home.
Charles didn't have class that afternoon. After Peter left, he took Ébourg for a walk around the school to familiarize him with the environment.
Charles controlled the wheelchair with one hand and held Ébourg's hand with the other. Ébourg lowered his head and looked at his small feet in sneakers stepping on the lawn.
"Ébourg, can you show me your mutant ability?" Charles turned his head to look at him and asked, "I want to understand you."
Ébourg turned his head and looked at him with confusion. "I'm standing here. This is my ability."
Charles was stunned. "Sorry, I don't think I understand what you mean, Ébourg."
Ébourg tilted his head and thought for a while. He let go of the hand he was holding. Then Charles saw Ébourg slowly float up. His body became transparent, like a fog, and finally disappeared completely.
Charles shouted, "Ébourg?"
Charles' voice fell, and Ébourg's outline slowly appeared in the air. He floated in the air, turning from transparent to real, and finally landed on the ground.
Ébourg stood on the ground again and smiled at Charles. "That's it."
Charles touched Ébourg's head and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Ébourg looked at him in confusion. "Anything else?"
"I don't know …" Ébourg lowered his head, his face full of confusion. "I seem to be able to do a lot …"
He's just a child who doesn't know anything, Charles thought.
"It's okay." He said with a smile. "We'll take it slow."
Since he couldn't find anyone to take care of Ébourg, Charles decided to do it himself.
Fortunately, Ébourg was a well-behaved child. He was always very sensible. When Charles took him to class, he would sit in the chair with the students and look up at him eagerly. He was never noisy. Instead, the students in the class often found him cute and often teased him.
Ébourg went to class and had meals with Charles every day. Everyone knew that the professor had a cute little tail, a little cutie named Ébourg.
"My sister was as cute as Ébourg when she was little!" Pietro sat on his desk, swinging his legs and saying proudly, "Even though she's grown up now, she's still super beautiful!"
"I only have one big brother. You know that, Alex." Kot shrugged and said, "He's a bastard. He never gave in to me when we were young. We've been fighting since we were young."
"But you two have a good relationship, don't you?" Jean said longingly, "I'm an only child. I've always wanted an older brother or a younger brother like Ébourg."
"You'll regret it." Kot made a face. "Not all children are as well-behaved as Ébourg. Most of the time, they're demons."
While they were talking, Professor Charles entered the classroom in his wheelchair, followed by Ébourg.
Charles had recently bought a lot of clothes for Ébourg. Today, Ébourg was wearing denim overalls, a white shirt, and a bow tie. His long hair was neatly combed into a ponytail.
As soon as she saw Ébourg, Jean's eyes lit up. She waved at Ébourg slightly, and Ébourg immediately returned her a soft smile.
In just a few days, Ébourg had become the most popular little mutant in the entire X Academy. Almost everyone had candy in their pockets, intending to feed him when they bumped into him, but they were always stopped by the professor next to them.
Charles was always worried that Ébourg would have tooth decay if he ate too much candy.
Charles was a professor of politics and history. Gradually, he found that Ébourg would absorb the knowledge in an instant after listening to his class. Even though he was only six years old, he could still remember more than all the senior students. He had a photographic memory.
This discovery made Charles overjoyed, because he found that Ébourg was a little genius. Later, Charles taught Ébourg mathematics, and after a short period of learning, he quickly surpassed most of the students in the class, even though they were all more than ten years older than him.
"Can you remember today's lesson, Ébourg?" After class, Charles asked as usual. Although he already knew that Ébourg's brain was different from that of ordinary people, Charles was still worried that this child would give him pressure. After all, this knowledge was indeed a little too advanced for him.
Ébourg nodded. "I remember!"
While Charles was proud of Ébourg, he suddenly felt a little worried.
Ébourg was very outstanding, there was no doubt about it. He was well-behaved, sensible, and had a very high IQ. However, there was one thing about Ébourg, that was, he was too well-behaved.
After a few days of observation, Charles found that when someone took the initiative to speak to Ébourg, Ébourg would respond. When someone showed kindness to him, he would also show kindness to others. However, when others did not take the initiative to speak to him, he would not take the initiative to speak. He would quietly stay in the corner, not saying a word, just like a delicate rag doll.
This was not like a six-year-old child. Charles was even a little worried that he would become autistic.
Just as Charles was worried, they had already slowly returned to the principal's office. When they opened the door, they unexpectedly saw someone.
"Rui Wen?" Charles paused and looked at the woman sitting on the sofa in disbelief. His face was full of joy. "You're back?"
Rui Wen stood up. Her eyes fell on the face of the little boy next to Charles. She raised her eyebrows. "Ébourg?"
At that time, it was Erik who contacted Rui Wen and said that he found a little mutant and hoped that Rui Wen could help send him to X Academy.
After looking at Ébourg, Rui Wen turned her gaze to Charles and said seriously, "Charles, we need to talk."
…
Pietro was ordered to take Ébourg to the garden to play.
Ébourg's arrival immediately attracted a large crowd. Pietro carried Ébourg with an arrogant expression and said deliberately, "Make way, make way, our little prince is coming for a walk."
Pietro jumped on the side. "Pietro! Pietro, give me Ébourg! I'll help you! "
"No, no." Pietro moved. When they saw him again, he was already outside the circle of people and was making funny faces at them. "Come and chase us if you can."
Ébourg was amused by him and giggled.
Pietro rubbed Ébourg's face and exclaimed, "With Ébourg in my hands, the world is mine!"
… Pietro really did inadvertently reveal the truth.
Pietro shook off the group of people and carried Ébourg directly up the tree. He put Ébourg on the tree trunk and wrapped his arms around him to prevent him from falling. "The scenery on this tree is the best. We can see the forest outside!"
Ébourg stretched his neck to look at the forest outside. It was full of green and had the freshness of nature. Looking at it made people feel relaxed and happy.
Ébourg took a deep breath and his expression relaxed. Suddenly, he paused.
Ébourg reached out and tugged at Pietro's sleeve. "Pietro, I want to find Charles."
"Of course!" Pietro said. "But we have to wait a while. The professor is busy now."
Ébourg shook his head and tugged at Pietro's sleeve again. He looked up at Pietro with a pair of big emerald green eyes and said, "Let's go now."
"…" Pietro felt that if he said no now, he would be an unforgivable bad guy.
"Okay, okay." Pietro pinched Ébourg's cheek and said, "Maybe the professor is done now?"
Pietro carried Ébourg and entered the castle in a flash.
Pietro carried Ébourg with one hand and covered his neck with the other. He shuttled through the castle looking for the professor and finally found him in the basement corridor.
In the basement corridor, two groups of people were facing each other. The atmosphere was tense and it seemed that a fight would break out at any moment.
Professor Charles, Hank, Alex and Rui Wen stood together. At the other end of the corridor stood Magneto and a tall man with leathery skin. There were also three mutants that Pietro didn't recognize.
"Uh …" Pietro hesitantly stood next to Charles and hugged Ébourg tightly. "Did we come at a bad time?"
"Pietro?!" Hank stared at him. "Didn't I tell you to take Ébourg for a walk outside? Why did you bring him here?! "
Pietro felt wronged. How could he know that there was danger here? He also didn't expect to meet his own father, Magneto, under such circumstances!
Although Magneto didn't know that he was his son, Pietro still felt very awkward.
Magneto didn't know that Pietro was his son, but he recognized Ébourg in Pietro's arms. However, he didn't say anything. No matter what, at least such a small mutant cub couldn't get involved.
But obviously, the leathery man couldn't miss Ébourg. His black eyes turned and looked at Ébourg. The latter smiled innocently, and Pietro quickly covered him so that the man couldn't see.
"Look, such a small mutant. What would happen if the humans found him?" The man's voice was low, and his tone was bewitching. "Didn't you always want to protect our kind? Come with me and awaken My Majesty. Under the leadership of My Majesty, we will overthrow the human rule and rebuild the mutant order. Only mutants are fit to rule this world, and My Majesty is the best leader. "
Charles frowned and looked at him. "No, mutants can coexist peacefully with humans. No one can rule anyone."
"But My Majesty can." The man nodded slightly and showed a sincere expression. "My Majesty will eventually be the ruler of this world."
"Who is your king?" Charles frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"He is the grandmaster of the mutants. As long as you submit to me, you will know My Majesty's honorable name," he said.
"He's not." Suddenly, a young voice sounded. Ébourg said, "He's not the ruler of Earth."
No one could be.
Blue God looked at him, his gaze heavy. "I can feel that you contain a very strong power. You, or he, are suitable to be My Majesty's sacrificial offerings."
Sacrificial offerings didn't sound like a good thing.
Ébourg tilted his head. "No."
His tone was like coaxing a disobedient child. "Everyone can play around, but you can't rule the world. I won't allow it."
"Ébourg?" Charles felt Blue God's gaze on Ébourg and frowned. "Pietro, take Ébourg and leave first."
Pietro nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the man say.
"This child, and you, have to come with me."
As soon as his voice fell, Magneto raised his hand, and Charles' wheelchair was controlled by him and immediately flew towards them.
"Professor!" "Professor!"
However, when the wheelchair flew halfway, it suddenly stopped moving.
Magneto frowned and moved his arm, but there was no reaction.
On the other side, Ébourg was still lying on Pietro's shoulder, looking innocent.
He said to Blue God, "You're not obedient. Charles doesn't want to go with you."
