Laser and the others' original plan this time was to sneak out to watch a movie,
And then sneak back before Charles and the others found out. I won't go into the details of the plan,
But there was one thing that had to be mentioned,
And that was — —
Laser felt that he had planned everything perfectly.
Except for the accident of running into the military on the way.
"One accident is enough, Scott." Katie looked at Laser with a smile. "Now we really have to think about how to explain it to the professor later."
After they left the scene of the incident,
They didn't care about exposing the fact that they had skipped school and called Charles and the others,
After all, such a big thing had happened,
It was impossible for them to hide it.
Instead of delaying it again and again, they might as well turn themselves in as soon as possible.
So now they were waiting for Charles to send someone to pick them up.
Hearing Shadowcat's teasing, Lasereyes cleared his throat and shrugged. "Alright.
I admit that I didn't expect such a risk. "
As he said that..,
He muttered in a low voice, "I didn't expect watching a movie could be so dangerous."
Before Laser's superpower awakened, for him, going to the cinema to watch a movie was just a normal and safe thing to do.
But after he became a mutant..,
No matter how safe and ordinary it was, it was inexplicably abnormal and unsafe.
Okay.
It had nothing to do with the cinema and watching movies, it was simply because they were mutants now.
Galactus glanced at Laser. This mutant with the soul of an artist was much more sensitive than his peers, so he could see what Laser was thinking at a glance,
He immediately reached out and patted him on the shoulder,
Then said, "Katie is right,
Let's think about how to explain it to the professor. "
Laser: "..."
Shouldn't you be comforting him at this time?!
Is it really manly to rub salt in his wound with your girlfriend!?
So before Laser had time to feel sentimental about this fact, he was so angry by Galactus and Phantom Cat that he didn't have the strength to feel disappointed and uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Issou couldn't help but laugh. She glanced at Phantom Cat and the rest. "So you guys are playing truant?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Qin and said, "Qin, didn't you say that it would be more convenient for you to take leave now?"
"Yes, it's more convenient for me to take leave, but they …" Jean pointed at Laser Eyes, Phantom Cat, and Galactus and said, "It's not convenient for them."
Compared to Laser and the others, Jean was one of the first to enter Academy X. She was one of the students that Charles was more worried about. After all, her superpower was unstable. Once she lost control, it would cause serious repercussions.
That was why Mrs. Gray and the rest said that Academy X was very strict. Jean had to spend most of her time in Academy X and could not ask for leave as she pleased.
But now it was different. Jean's superpower was gradually stabilizing because of Issou, and Charles knew very well that Jean's reason for asking for leave was to find Issou, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
But Laser Eyes and the others might not.
Hearing Jean's words, Issou nodded and said with a smile, "No wonder you guys were thinking about how to explain it to Charles."
Then, she thought of the sweet-talking little professor and said, "But Charles shouldn't be too angry with you, right?"
As the principal, it was normal for Charles to be angry with a few truant students, but there was a limit to how angry he could be. Not to mention, Jean and the others had encountered an accident this time. If the Ghost Killer hadn't appeared, Jean and the others would have been arrested by the military.
In the face of the military's blatant arrest on the street, Issou thought that the people who really made Charles angry should be the military, right?
After all, as the head of the Mutants, how could Charles not protect his children? Even if he advocated peaceful coexistence with humans and did not support Magneto's solution of using violence, this did not mean that he would still use peaceful means when the military attacked Mutants, especially Mutant students.
"What about you? Issou. "
Hearing Issou's words, Jean glanced at him and asked, "Are you angry with me because I hid my identity as a Mutant?"
In fact, Jean did not regret exposing her identity as a Mutant at such a critical moment and reminding Issou and the others to run away. She was just worried that Issou would be angry with her for hiding her identity.
As soon as Jean finished speaking, Clarice and the twins quickly looked at Issou. If their relationship with Issou was just a simple boss and employee relationship, then of course they would not be too worried about exposing their identity as Mutants in front of him.
After all, it was just a job. If they lost it, so be it.
But now, they were good friends with Issou. Losing a good friend and losing a job were two completely different concepts.
Issou shook his head and said, "I'm not angry."
She thought to herself, 'Because I already know that they are Mutants, okay? So for them, losing their identities was a big deal. But for Issou, they (especially Wanda and Pietro) losing their identities was just a way for her to finally get rid of her image as a big idiot.
God knows, she was almost touched by her acting as a big idiot in front of Wanda and Pietro some time ago.
After all, it was rare to see such a considerate person like her.
"Everyone has secrets that they can't tell."
In this regard, Issou could also understand. Just like how she could not casually tell others that she broke the Dimension Wall, so when Jean and the other Mutants/Superheroes tried to cover their identities in front of her, she pretended not to know anything.
"I'm just a little surprised." With that said, Issou's gaze swept past Jean and the others until it fell on Clarice.
Whether it was Jean, Wanda, or Pietro, she knew that they were Mutants when they introduced themselves. Only Clarice, who she first met and spent the most time with, was not aware that she was a Mutant.
So after the military activated their weapons and saw Clarice and the twins fall to the ground together, Issou was dumbfounded. She: "…???"
She thought that there were only two Mutant waiters in her Chinese restaurant.
It turned out that all three of them were Mutants??
With this thought in mind, Issou suddenly remembered something. Previously, Charles suddenly told her that she was much more capable than him. At that time, Issou did not realize it, but now that she thought about it —
The waiters she hired were all Mutants. Her friends — Jean, Lorna, Marcus, and John — were all Mutants.
So what Charles meant at that time was that she could find mutants more accurately than he could?
Hearing Issou's words, Clarice and the others' eyes lit up. Their previous nervousness and anxiety were swept away, and they could not help but smile.
"That's great." Wanda reached out and hugged Issou. She said, "Issou, you don't know how guilty and guilty I felt when Pietro and I kept it from you."
It really hurt my conscience to lie to such a pure and kind girl.
In this regard, Jean and Clarice felt the same. Because Issou's eyes were always too clear, and even the occasional childishness she exuded made her seem even more innocent, every time they lied in front of her, they would always inexplicably feel a little guilty afterward.
But now, even though they were caught off guard by Issou, the outcome was still satisfactory. Jean smiled and said, "In that case, we have to thank the military."
Otherwise, they did not know when they would be able to truly confess their identities to Issou.
Because the closer they were, the more difficult it was for them to speak frankly, for fear of ruining their current relationship.
Hearing Jean's words, Issou thought of what just happened and could not help but laugh. She said, "Thank the military for letting you organize a large-scale mass betrayal event?"
"Pfft."
"Hahahaha."
Hearing Issou's description, Phantom Cat and the others could not help but burst out laughing. Although they had just experienced such a thing, they were still young after all. Coupled with the fact that they were now in a safe environment, they immediately forgot about the impact that the incident had on them.
Therefore, when Nightwalker appeared with a bang, accompanied by blue smoke, he saw Laser and the others laughing and joking around.
"Hey, Cotter!"
Seeing Nightwalker appear, Phantom Cat and the others greeted him with a smile. "Did the professor ask you to pick us up?"
"Yes." Nightwalker had blue skin, pointed ears, and a long pointed tail. Because of his strange appearance, he was regarded as a devil, but in fact, he was pure and kind, and was even a devout Catholic.
Before coming to pick up Jean and the others, Nightwalker was a little worried because the professor asked him to act as worried as possible to make Laser and the others feel a little threatened and nervous.
But …
Nightwalker swore that he must have looked worried and uneasy. Unfortunately, Phantom Cat and the others did not get it at all. Instead, they smiled and introduced him to new friends.
While Nightwalker was getting to know Issou and the others, he was worried that if the professor saw them, they would die miserably, right?
As it turned out, they really would.
When Nightwalker asked Issou and the others to teleport him back to Academy X with them, Laser and the others, who were chatting and laughing until they almost forgot that they were playing truant and almost got into big trouble, saw Charles and the others' expressionless faces and posture as if they were about to be interrogated. They suddenly had an idea.
Charles looked at the four truant students with a smile and asked gently, "It seems that you had a good time outside?"
Phoenix and the others: "…"
Was it too late for them to pretend to be unhappy?
…
…
…
Okay.
It was too late.
Looking at Charles like this, Jean's brain suddenly twitched. She pulled Issou over and pushed the black-haired girl in front of him. "Professor, Issou also knows your identity."
