Other than Erik, who was familiar with the place, who went to find the room he used to live in, the rest of the students, Blue God, Storm, Spirit Butterfly, and Angel, were taken away by Hank to make arrangements.
Charles extended his hand to Ébourg and said with a smile, "Ébourg, can we talk alone for a while?"
Peter, who had just arrived at X Academy after seeing Ébourg, was stunned when he heard the word 'alone'. He asked, "Is there something you need?"
Charles looked up and gave him a deep look.
When Charles was in the interrogation room, he was worried that there might be other people in the school when he was probing the brains of Blue God and the others. So, he enlarged the range of his senses to cover the entire school. Coincidentally, Peter entered the school at this time, so Charles inadvertently discovered some of Peter's little secrets.
Charles thought for a moment and said, "I can let Pietro tell you about this."
As he said that, he reached out and took Ébourg's little hand and smiled at him. "Let's go, Ébourg."
Ébourg nodded and followed him obediently.
Rui Wen and Alex had already left with Hank. Now that Professor Charles and Ébourg had left, only Peter and Pietro were left. Peter looked at Pietro in confusion. "What happened?"
In fact, Pietro did not expect the professor to let him tell Peter about this matter, but the naive Pietro thought that the professor probably felt that as Ébourg's guardian, Peter should have the right to know, so he was relieved.
Pietro led Peter slowly into the castle and said, "Among the people who just left, five of them are not from our school. They suddenly broke in today and wanted to snatch the professor away and start a war."
"However, they were rather unlucky. Abel's ability happened to be able to be sealed. Hmm … it's probably to seal their mutated ability, so their evil plan didn't succeed. Professor probably wants to ask about Abel's ability."
"..." Peter's eyes widened. "Start a war?! But why? "
Pietro shrugged. "There are also radicals among the mutants. They just want to rule the world."
Rule the world?!
Only?!
How could it be so simple?!
Peter's face was full of disbelief. Then he paused, as if suddenly thinking of something, and suddenly said, "... So, that Blue God is your father who wants to rule the world?!"
Peter's eyes widened even more. He looked Pietro up and down. "You don't look alike. You're much better looking than him!"
"He's not!" Pietro immediately retorted. Then he paused, patted Peter's shoulder, and said with a smile, "But I am much more handsome than him."
Peter thought about what Pietro said about his father before and asked carefully, "Then your father is someone else among them?"
Pietro's expression immediately stiffened, and he slowly nodded.
Peter tried hard to recall the people just now. Among the men, Professor Hank was someone he knew, and Alex was someone he had just met. Other than the ugly monster called Blue God, there was also a man with wings and Mr. Rancher. But the man with wings looked about the same age as him...
Wait a minute.
Peter turned his head sharply and exclaimed, "You are Mr. Rancher's son?!"
Pietro immediately covered Peter's mouth and looked around in a panic. Then he lowered his voice and said to Peter, "Don't tell anyone!"
Peter, whose mouth was covered, nodded. Pietro then let go of his hand.
Peter took a deep breath, and then his eyes widened. He lowered his voice and exclaimed, "Wait, you said before that your father wants to rule the world?"
Pietro frowned and nodded, "Yes..."
Peter said, "If he can't rule the world, then he wants to destroy it?"
Pietro nodded again, as if he had nothing to live for. "Yes..."
"That's impossible!" Peter immediately retorted, "Mr. Rancher is a good person. There must be some misunderstanding!"
Pietro didn't know where Peter got such a firm belief from. He looked at Peter with a confused expression, and then he was shocked to find that the other party seemed to be quite serious.
Pietro was silent for a few seconds, and then he said in a pained tone, "... I also hope that he is a good person, but he has done a lot of things that are not worth advocating. Even if I am his son, I can't cover up for him."
"He saved Ébourg, my friend Ned, and many ordinary people." Peter said with a serious face, "At that time, we were attacked in the museum. Mr. Rancher, Spider-man, and 'Captain America' defeated the terrorists together and saved everyone present. So, I am willing to believe that he is a good person."
Pietro blinked, and his eyes gradually lit up. "You really think he is a good person?"
Peter nodded seriously.
Pietro immediately gave Peter a hug, and then quickly let go of him. He said, "Thank you, Peter. You are right. I am his only remaining family member, and I have to believe in him. "
He was such a great person, and it didn't make sense that his biological father was a big villain who couldn't be saved. Besides, Wanda had always wanted her father to be a big hero since she was young. He couldn't disappoint Wanda. There had to be a way to save him!
Peter patted him on the shoulder and smiled. His smile was full of sunshine. "Let's find out what is going on together."
"Okay!"
...
In the principal's office, Charles took out a strawberry-flavored lollipop from his desk drawer and fed it to Ébourg.
Charles smiled as he watched Ébourg eat the lollipop with puffed up cheeks. He had just taken Ébourg to change out of his dirty clothes. Now, Ébourg was wearing a white shirt with a ruffled collar, a pair of brown trousers, and a pair of black Oxford shoes. He was as beautiful and delicate as a little prince.
Charles watched Ébourg eat happily. After a while, he asked, "Ébourg, today you made Blue God unable to use his mutated ability. Is this your new mutated ability?"
Ébourg, who was eating the lollipop, looked up blankly.
"Blue God can no longer use his ability. You did it, right?" Charles asked again patiently.
Ébourg nodded with the lollipop in his mouth.
"Then, did you temporarily suppress his ability, or did you make him lose it completely?" Charles asked again.
Ébourg thought for a moment, took out the lollipop from his mouth, and answered, "It's temporary."
Charles was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You mean, you can make him use his ability again?"
Ébourg nodded.
He had confiscated the ability he had given him, but if he knew his mistake and changed, he would still reward him again.
However, Charles didn't understand what Ébourg meant. He only thought that Ébourg's ability was to suppress, but he was young and didn't know how to say it, so he said that.
Charles patted his head. "Is this your new ability?"
After all, Ébourg didn't mention this ability when he asked him before.
However, Ébourg really didn't think of this as an ability. He thought that it was a right.
Ébourg was the symbiotic energy of the Earth. He was like a womb, always protecting the Earth, giving it energy to grow, and giving him the power to 'live'. He existed from the day the Earth was born, and then he helped the Earth grow plants and creatures, making the planet full of vitality. Perhaps Ébourg would one day run out of energy and die, but the Earth would continue to exist, but it would just not be 'born' anymore.
However, it was also possible that as time passed, a new 'Ébourg' would appear on the Earth, a new 'birth' would appear, and a new cycle would begin. However, that was no longer something Ébourg could care about. He only knew that the reason he was born was to make the Earth beautiful.
However, while Ébourg selflessly contributed to the Earth, he also had the right to do something to the Earth, and even more so to do something to everything on the Earth.
Ébourg gave Blue God the ability 3,000 years ago, so today, when he found that Blue God was no longer worthy of this ability, he also had the right to take it back.
This was a right, not an ability.
Your father will always be your father, and he will always have the right to confiscate your game console, pocket money, and spank your little butt, but you can't resist.
Hahaha.
...
On the other side, Pietro and Peter found Hank.
At that time, Hank had just arranged for Blue God and the others and was about to go to the office to get the teaching materials for the next class when he was blocked by the two in the office.
"Teacher Hank, I just want to ask why Magneto is in cahoots with those people." Pietro asked hesitantly, "After all, I heard that he used to be good friends with the principal's office, right? He is also the first generation of X-Men. "
Hank didn't think much about it. In fact, many children in the school were very interested in Magneto. There was a group photo of the first generation of X-Men in the school, and Erik was still wearing the X-Men uniform, but now he had become a wanted villain. This was not the first time someone had asked him this question.
"Because Erik's ideas are different from Charles's, his ideas are more radical, he thinks that Mutants should rule ordinary people, and Charles thinks that Mutants can coexist peacefully with ordinary people, so he left," Hank said calmly, "And Blue God found him, and they have the same goal, so they formed an alliance."
"But Mr. Rancher also saved ordinary people." Peter said, "I saw it with my own eyes, Ébourg, my friend Ned, and many innocent ordinary people, I saw him save them with my own eyes."
Hank was stunned, he pushed his glasses and said, "Erik, he... is actually very different from Blue God. If there are no special circumstances, he will not take the initiative to hurt others, he is just... blinded by hatred."
Pietro and Peter were both stunned, they looked at each other, and then looked at Hank questioningly.
"Eric didn't have a good childhood because of his identity. In fact, it was very bad, so I can understand why he is hostile to ordinary people." Hank hesitated, he did not explain Erik's childhood in detail, he sighed and said, "But he tried to let go of his hatred and try to get along with ordinary people. He migrated abroad, married an ordinary woman, and had a cute daughter. But some time ago, after he used his ability to save someone, his identity was discovered. The person he saved did not thank him, everyone saw him as the devil, and the police there even killed his wife and child." Hank's eyes flashed with pain, "So he joined Blue God's camp."
Peter frowned, this development was really beyond his imagination. He turned to look at Pietro, the latter's eyes were wide open, and his lips were trembling.
Hank looked at the time, "Class is about to start, I'll be leaving first."
Then he raised his head and saw that Pietro's expression was not right. He frowned and asked with concern, "Pietro? What's wrong with you? "
Pietro was in a daze, his eyes unfocused as he looked at Hank. His lips trembled a few times, and then he said, "... I... I am actually also Magneto's son."
Hank: "..."
Hank: "!!!"
...
It was not until dinner time that Ébourg came out of the principal's office.
Under normal circumstances, Ébourg would have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Charles in the principal's office, or in the small living room in Charles's room. But today Peter was here, so of course Ébourg had to stay with Peter, so Ébourg walked with his short legs to the cafeteria downstairs to look for Peter. Charles told him that Peter was there.
Along the way, he encountered countless students who tried to feed Ébourg, infinitely prolonging the time it took for him to find Peter.
...
Pietro, who was not in a good mood, was taken away by Hank, and Peter went to the cafeteria to wait for Ébourg. Just now, Professor Charles told him that Ébourg would come here to look for him.
However, before Ébourg arrived, he saw Erik Rancier, who had changed into casual clothes, walking slowly into the cafeteria with a tray to get food.
In fact, it was not dinner time yet, but because each student in the school had different abilities, some people's abilities consumed a lot of energy, such as Pietro. He had to eat double digits of hamburgers almost every day to be full, so in order to understand the hunger of these students, the cafeteria actually served food from 7: 00 AM to 10: 00 PM every day at 15: 00 PM.
Obviously, Erik also knew about this, so he deliberately picked a time when there should not be many students to get food.
Erik did not notice Peter's existence, or maybe he did not take it seriously. After getting food, he planned to go straight to his room.
But just as Erik was about to go out with the tray, Peter jumped up and ran to his side.
"Mr. Rancher." Peter greeted, "Are you in a better mood now?"
Erik: "... Not good, when I see you, I remember that I personally handed Ébourg to Charles."
Peter carefully observed Erik's expression.
To be honest, after listening to Professor Hank's story, Peter's feelings were really complicated. He knew that many people in the world did not welcome mutants, but he never knew that mutants could go through such a thing. He thought that Ébourg being abandoned was the cruelest thing, but he did not imagine that Mr. Rancher had experienced something even crueler.
However, even though Mr. Rancher had been hurt so many times, he still chose to save innocent people, the people in the museum, Ned, and the person who was saved by Mr. Rancher but did not remember the kindness.
If Mr. Rancher had not experienced these cruel things, he would definitely be a good person who was willing to help others. But even after experiencing these cruel things, Mr. Rancher still retained a trace of kindness. Peter felt that it was not easy to judge others by their own standards.
Peter suddenly turned to look at Erik and said firmly, "Mr. Rancher! You are really a good person! "
