So what does this have to do with me?
Issou, who was standing on the side, did not expect to be pulled by Jean for no reason and even pushed out as a shield.
So now, looking at Charles in front of him,
Issou's expression was a little confused.
And Charles saw that the usually eccentric black-haired girl had yet to react,
She looked particularly adorable at this moment,
The gentle but formulaic smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes were instantly dyed with a sincere smile.
Jean: "..."
Very good, the plan worked.
What?
You asked Jean if she changed the subject like that. Didn't she think that Charles might get even with her later?
...
...
...
This problem was left to "her later" to deal with,
Anyway, "her now" had escaped a calamity.
"We meet again,
Issou. " Charles smiled at the black-haired girl in front of him. After greeting her, he thought of what Jean had just said,
He said, "Regarding the matter that I hid from you before,
I'm very sorry. "
As he said that,
He stopped smiling and said sincerely to Issou, "I hope you can forgive me."
The little professor with red lips and white teeth always gave off a soft and harmless feeling,
Especially now — when he looked at the other party sincerely with his gentle blue eyes,
Against the slightly drooping corners of his eyes,
He looked especially sincere and innocent.
Issou: "..."
Wow.
What happened to maintaining an image in front of the students?
The great Professor X was actually so good at using Puppy
eyes？
Looking at Charles like this,
Issou, who came to his senses, couldn't help but laugh,
She looked at him,
She said, "Charles,
I can't say anything other than 'okay' when you look like this. "
Issou's words made Charles smile,
That pair of beautiful blue eyes became sparkling, as if the starlight within them had been lit up.
"Then let's get to know each other again." Charles extended his hand to Issou. "My name is Charles Xavier, I'm the principal and professor of Academy X, a mutant."
"My name is Issou." Seeing Charles's serious face, Issou also pretended to be serious. He reached out and shook his hand, imitating his self-introduction, "I'm the owner and chef of 'My Chinese Restaurant'. Well, I'm an ordinary person."
In the end, she couldn't help but laugh. "This is the first time I've introduced myself to someone else."
That's right. Who asked her to be acquainted with ordinary people before she broke the Dimensional Wall? Who would deliberately say that they were ordinary people when introducing themselves?
After breaking the Dimensional Wall, superheroes like Steve and the others who had already revealed their faces would not deliberately explain it, and those like Bruce and the others who wanted to hide their identities would not deliberately explain it.
When Charles heard what Izu said, he deliberately put on a sympathetic expression and said, "Me too."
...
Laser and the others looked at Charles, who was chatting with Issou, and whispered in a low voice so as not to disturb them, "Is our crisis over?"
"I think in order not to disturb the professor and Issou's conversation, we should leave first."
As soon as Phantom Cat finished speaking, Charles's voice suddenly sounded in their minds. [I advise you not to do anything stupid.]
Hearing Charles's warning (warning), Phantom Cat and the others looked up at him. The man who was talking to Issou seemed to have sensed it and turned his head slightly to look at them. He even gave them a "friendly" smile.
Phantom Cat and the others: "..."
They were literally trembling.
Now, Laser and the others were just like Clarice and the others before. They could not wait for Charles and Issou to talk for a while longer. However, it turned out that no matter how long the day was, it would come to an end.
Moreover, Charles and the others still had to deal with Jean's matter, so Issou said, "Charles, you guys go ahead, don't worry about me."
"Jean's matter does need to be dealt with, but the person who needs to be busy now is not me, it's Hank." As Charles spoke, he turned to the tall and skinny man wearing glasses beside him. "Hank, take Jean and Clarice for a check-up."
Charles had always known that the military was researching weapons to deal with the mutants, but he did not know what kind of weapons would be used to deal with Jean and the others, and whether there would be any side effects, so he simply asked Hank to do a check-up for them.
"No problem."
Hank McCoy's code name was Beast, because in addition to having a pair of unusual feet, he could also transform into a big, furry blue monster. It was just that after transforming, he looked rough and scary, but he really did look shy and weak most of the time.
Because of the great contrast between the two, Issou could not help but take a few more glances at him after knowing his identity. After all, she really did not know that Hank, the real-life version of Beast, was actually so handsome.
After Charles received Hank's answer, he said to Issou, "During this time, I'll take you to choose a room for you to rest in tonight. Issou. "
"Uh, what?"
Hearing Charles's words, Issou, who was still paying attention to Hank, was stunned. When she realized what Charles said, she said, "There's no need, right? Charles, I think it's fine for me to go home tonight. "
In fact, although other than Issou, the rest of the group were all mutants with superpowers, this time the military targeted the mutants, so Issou, who was the weakest among them, was unscathed.
Originally, Issou planned to come to Academy X with Jean and ask Charles to help her check Clarice and the twins. After confirming their condition, she would go home.
However, she did not expect Charles to suddenly invite her to stay at Academy X.
Hearing Issou's rejection, Charles did not say anything. Instead, he asked Hank to take Clarice and the twins for a check-up before he walked out with Issou. He looked at her and said, "You know I don't want to reject you, Issou."
As Charles spoke, he turned sideways to face Issou and shrugged helplessly. "But not this time. I think it's safer for you to stay at Academy X tonight."
As he spoke, he probably thought of what Issou and Jean experienced today, so his expression became more serious. He said, "Although the military targeted Jean and the twins this time, you, Wanda, and the others are also involved. I think they will return empty-handed and suffer a lot of losses. They won't give up so easily."
What?
You're asking him if he knows that Issou and the twins did not kill the military, but that he was a kind-hearted person who helped out when he saw injustice?
...
...
...
However, this was of no use.
When he thought of how the military targeted Jean and the other students of Academy X without warning, Charles had every reason to suspect that even if they knew the truth, it would not stop them from targeting Issou.
Therefore, for Issou's safety, Charles felt that it was better for her to stay at Academy X for the time being.
Hearing Charles's words, Issou could no longer refuse because she knew very well that he was not speaking without thinking. When she thought of the aggressive and arrogant way the military dealt with Jean and the twins today, she could imagine that if they really wanted to capture her, they would have no qualms about doing so.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Charles." Issou curled her lips at him. "This is the first time in my life that I've spent the night in a castle."
Although Academy X was a school for mutants, it was also a large castle. Even if Issou did not come in through the main entrance of Academy X, she already knew this from the manga/anime.
When he heard Issou's words, Charles could not help but laugh. He said to her, "It's my honor, and I hope that you can become a regular here. By the way..."
As he spoke, he suddenly paused, then looked at the black-haired girl and asked, "As the owner of this castle, do you want to hear me tell you the most interesting place here?"
Issou saw how mysterious he was and could not help but laugh, but she still played along and said, "Of course, I'm all ears."
"The most interesting place here is..." Charles deliberately dragged out his words, and then under Issou's gaze, he told her the most interesting place in the castle. "The kitchen."
"Pfft."
Hearing this answer, Issou could not help but laugh. She looked at him. "Charles, I have reason to suspect that the reason you want me to stay here is not only because you're worried about my safety, but also because of my cooking skills, right?"
When he heard Issou's question, Charles cleared his throat and pretended to be sad. "So that's what you think of me? I'm really... "
Before Charles spoke, the black-haired girl had already guessed that he was going to deny it, so she looked at him silently with a smile and did not speak.
Seeing the expression on Issou's face, the words that Charles wanted to say were suddenly stuck in his throat for some reason. After thinking for a while, he said, "... I'm so happy, Issou, I didn't expect you to know me so well."
Issou, "..."
I don't know you well.
