Saber tilted his head and looked at Ororo, who strode into the room with teaching materials in her arms. The latter's face was full of defiance. She stared at Saber and said loudly.
"I want to fight you!"
Obviously, she had heard everything that Santos said. This young and immature girl was infuriated, but Seiber just stared at him and let the cigar burn in his mouth. Two minutes later, he stretched out his hands lazily and laid on the comfortable bed. He spoke in a lazy tone, like a salted fish, and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
"Come on, Storm Goddess, I'm no match for you. Shouldn't you be looking for an opponent like Magneto to fight?"
This rogue tone made Ororo feel like she had punched cotton. Saber had a special ability. Everything that came out of his mouth was more or less unacceptable. Just like now, Ororo, who felt that she had been underestimated, looked at Saber's narrowed eyes and gritted her teeth.
"Now! Immediately! "
"No, I refuse."
Saber wanted to throw the burned out cigar into a trash can or an ashtray, but he couldn't find it after looking around. He had no choice but to close his eyes and put it out in his palm. The skin in the center of his palm was a little red and swollen, but it quickly recovered to its original state.
"Santos has already gone through the admission procedures! If you don't fight me, I won't let you take him away. "
Ororo stubbornly looked at Saber lying on the bed. The latter had already covered his ears as if he was annoyed by her. But after hearing this sentence, Saber's narrowed eyes finally opened. He glanced at the uneasy Santos and then at Ororo, who refused to back down. He pondered for a moment. In this college, nothing could escape Professor Saber's eyes, but he, who always emphasized peace, did not come forward to stop them. Saber soon realized what the professor meant.
It seemed that the old gentleman did not want to get involved in this kind of thing. He even had the intention of indulging them. So Saber finally nodded and whispered.
"Alright, but you can only use training weapons."
A victorious smile appeared on the corner of Ororo's mouth. She looked at Saber provocatively. Earlier today, Professor Saber had expressed his feelings. Although it was just a casual remark, Ororo, who had a peaceful nature, still felt a trace of threat. It was a struggle of ideas. Some kind of stubborn persistence made her unwilling to back down in front of Saber.
What's more, Santos' words might have been unintentional, but his judgment had undoubtedly put the entire Xavier Academy in a bad light. Under the influence of these factors, this usually gentle female mentor had become sharp-tongued.
"Are you afraid that I'll hurt you? Don't worry, I'll show mercy! "
Upon hearing this, Saber gave Orolo a strange look. He raised his eyebrows. Hmm … Her figure is not bad, but is that the source of her courage?
"I'm afraid that I might accidentally kill you, you arrogant little black cat."
Saber pursed his lips. He looked up at the hanging clock on the wall, stretched his neck and shoulders, and said, "Lead the way. Let's finish this quickly. I still have to go home."
Five minutes later, the fully sealed glass doors of the No.1 training ground in the basement of Zeville Castle had been lowered. This was to prevent Ororo's lightning from going out of control and harming the onlookers. That's right, the news had somehow spread. Those students who didn't have classes and were full of energy all rushed over to surround the training ground. However, they were clearly divided into two camps.
On one side were the old students of the academy, who were uniformly cheering for the valiant Ororo in her combat suit. On the other side were more than 20 new students who had just joined the academy. They stood on Saber's side, but they were not as noisy as the other children. Because they had seen Saber fight with their own eyes, they had absolute confidence in the man in casual clothes in front of them.
"It's like a monkey show. Was I out of my mind just now?"
Seiber muttered to himself as he picked up a wooden training blade from the pile of weapons beside him. He casually weighed it in his hand and found that it was a little light. He looked at Orro who was waiting for him and asked impatiently.
"Can we begin?"
"Whoosh!"
A storm of unknown origin instantly wrapped around Oro's body. She walked forward, and it was as if there was an invisible staircase in the air, allowing her to slowly walk up into the air. In the midst of the twisting storm, her voice also became faintly discernible.
"Come, Saber Hawk. In the name of the Xavier Academy for Gifted Youths, I —"
"Too much nonsense!"
An angry roar interrupted Ororo's serious narration. Storm's eyes widened at this moment because Saber had disappeared from where he was. Like an afterimage, he disappeared from her vision. She hurriedly turned her head. Behind her, no! Beside her, no!
"Above!"
A scream came from the crowd of onlookers. Ororo subconsciously raised her head and saw Saber move in a strange way. He silently climbed up the wall to the ceiling of the training room. With a kick of his legs, his already fast speed increased once more. Holding the wooden sword with both hands, he slashed at her neck. The not-so-sharp wooden sword cut through the air with a whooshing sound.
She immediately raised both hands and sent two lightning bolts in the direction of Saber. This was the move she was most comfortable with, summoning lightning and aiming it in less than a second. It could be seen that Ororo was not overestimating herself by wanting to fight Saber. At the very least, she was very outstanding in terms of basic combat awareness. Coupled with her supreme talent, very few people had been able to break through her lightning attack in the few battles she had fought in the past.
But today, God probably intended to teach Ororo a lesson, letting her know that not all opponents could be defeated with just talent and a basic A.
Bang!
A flash of electricity hit Saber's chest, paralyzing his body. His originally frenzied attack was thus interrupted. Ororo's eyes showed that she had everything under control. Her hands began to surge with even more electricity. She had more than enough time before Saber's paralysis was lifted. However, in the next moment, red light flashed in Saber's eyes. The paralysis did not even last a second on his body, and his arms began to move again.
Although much of the momentum accumulated in that pounce had been destroyed, with the support of Saber's own strength, the black wooden sword continued to howl toward Ororo's body. Storm saw that the situation was bad and hurriedly stopped gathering electricity. She spread her arms and lightly retreated, barely dodging the whistling wooden sword.
Seeing that his attack missed, Seiber opened his arms wide and let the wooden blade fall to the ground. The moment he landed on the ground, he exerted force with the tip of his foot and jumped up again. His left fist paused for a moment to accumulate power, and then shot out like a released bowstring.
Bang!
The Storm Shield on the surface of Saber's body shattered under this brute force, exposing her body. Storm hurriedly waved her arms, and two howling storms in the air converged into invisible wind chains in an attempt to imprison Saber's body. However, Saber fiercely struggled, and the chains were broken. His body was not stopped at all, and he charged forward. Before the Storm Shield could recover, his left hand grabbed Ororo's ankle.
"Got you! Little black cat! "
Boom!
A dazzling bolt of lightning appeared in the training ground, almost completely covering Ororo and Saber's bodies. Storm panicked when her ankle was grabbed, because this had never happened before. In her desperation, she could not care less. Using her innate gift, she brandished the lightning like a blue sword and slashed at Saber's body. The paralysis crept up to his heart once more, and black scorch marks appeared on his arms and body. However, Saber gritted his teeth and did not let go. His right hand also grabbed that slender ankle, and then he exerted force with both arms.
"Heavens!"
Cries of surprise came from the stands. The students saw Instructor Ororo, who had the upper hand just a moment ago, get his left leg grabbed by the barbarian's hands and swung around twice in the air. Then, like a warhammer, he viciously smashed the ground.
Bang!
The rapidly spinning Storm Shield was completely shattered the moment it hit the ground, but it had also blocked the first wave of the most frightening impact for Ororo. Thus, although this attack looked crazy, it did not actually cause any substantial damage to Storm. She rose from the ground, her eyes no longer able to see the pupils. They had turned pale white, and the howling winds intensified by more than three times. There were also thick branches of blue lightning that danced in the sky above the training ground. Saber's attack had angered her, and she was about to get serious!
Unfortunately, the moment the first bolt of lightning fell, a black, wretched figure broke through the gale in front of her. The wall formed by the storm shattered, and Saber leapt up at an angle, rushing in front of Ororo, who had just risen into the air. She could even see the killing intent that flashed in Saber's eyes, but in the end, that fist that was aimed at her heart still moved down slightly, bringing with it a sinister punch that smashed into Ororo's abdomen.
The energy that filled her eyes instantly shattered, and her body bent backward like a bow. Saber's full-strength attack was not something that just anyone could withstand.
"Ugh!"
Storm only had time to let out a cry of pain. Her body was like a kite with a broken string, drawing a parabola in the air before crashing into the training ground. However, she was still suspected to be an Omega-class mutant, and her body was still very strong. Saber's punch had avoided her vital organs, so it only caused pain all over her body and did not cause any fatal damage. However, just as she was about to get up from the ground, a wooden sword that had not been sharpened was pressed against her neck.
Saber's clothes were scorched by the lightning, and his hair was standing on end. He looked at her, and a trace of humiliation appeared on Ororo's face, but she finally lowered her head. She had admitted defeat.
"This was an unfair duel. Your home ground was restricted too much."
Saber casually threw the wooden training sword aside, bent down, and patted Ororo's shoulder. He whispered in her ear, "Distance is your life. Also, the next time you strike, don't hold back. If you use all your strength from the beginning, I may not even have a chance to fight back."
"You're not an enemy … If we really fight, I won't hold back."
Saber's hot breath hit Ororo's ear, and the proud Storm turned her head abruptly. She snorted. "You just won by luck."
"Stop fooling around, okay?"
Saber rolled his eyes. "If we really fought, your head would have been chopped off in the first strike. Little black cat, you're still far from that. If you have nothing to do, go kill a few thugs. Otherwise, in this environment, you may not even be able to beat little Catherine."
"You mean, that little girl has also killed people?"
Seiber grabbed Ororo's left arm and pulled her up from the ground. He turned his head and waved at Catherine, who was screaming and jumping in the audience, and said softly, "Don't worry.
"What do you think? That's Saber Hawk's little sister."
Thirty minutes later, at the entrance of the Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters, Professor Charles personally sent Saber and the others out of the academy. It was not because of Saber's special identity, but because he saved more than 20 mutant children. Just this sacrifice was enough to move Charles.
Saber whispered to the professor before getting into the car.
"Yuriko Koyama will stay with you for now. Keep an eye on her. Her life is very pitiful, but she is also very dangerous … I may go to Stryker's base in the north soon. I will inform you as soon as I have news. I suspect that there may be the same group of children there, or even more."
Professor Charles' expression also became serious. He nodded and patted Saber's arm.
"Go ahead, Saber. This is a good thing. The entire academy and I will do our best to support you. If you need help, contact us as soon as possible!"
"I'm actually very curious, Professor."
Saber took off his sunglasses and looked at Professor Charles, whose expression had softened again, and asked in a low voice, "With your strength, you can solve this kind of thing in less than a day. Why do you …"
"Sigh …"
The professor sighed and looked to the southwest.
"Saber, if I leave New York, many people won't be able to sleep. There are too many secrets hidden in this world. Mutants are just one of them. The rules have been established, and we live in it. If there is no opportunity, it will be difficult for us to break it."
Saber curled his lips, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he nodded to the professor and took the group into the car arranged by Lewis and headed all the way to the airport.
Behind them, Professor Charles looked at the car in the distance. He couldn't help but recall some of the news he had received a few days ago. He coughed softly and closed his eyes slightly. The unmanned wheelchair slowly turned around and returned to the academy. The heavy door slowly closed behind the professor.
"Sigh, what an eventful season."
