Chapter 15
However, this state is not a good thing for the professor. After all, the stronger the X ability, the stronger the will to demand.
So Norton decided to enlighten him:
"There is a saying in the ancient East that the beholder is clear. Professor, do you want to know where you went wrong?"
"I'm so conceited! Always think I can control everything……"the professor replied
"No! Conceit is not fundamentally wrong!"Norton rejected the professor's answer.
Then he didn't continue to beat around the bush. Norton gave his own answer directly:
"Professor, your way of thinking is completely that of a mutant, but you always want to integrate into the lives of ordinary people! Self-contradiction in thought is the root of all errors!"
Norton's words were like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, instantly awakening the confusion in the professor's heart. All the doubts and incomprehensions in the past were all answered!
At this time, the professor entered a state similar to 'enlightenment'.
Although for a professor who is a mutant, The epiphany will not increase his strength, but it can also sublimate his mind, so he no longer has to worry about losing control of his X ability.
Norton did not disturb the professor, left a bottle of potion and a note, and left the manor.
Then, in the spirit Under the guidance of his eyes, Norton found Magneto in a park in Los Angeles who had not yet recovered his abilities.
In front of Magneto was a chess set with classic ivory and metal chess pieces.
"Have a round?"Norton sat directly opposite Magneto.
Magneto raised his head and glanced at Norton, then looked down at the metal chess piece without saying anything.
"I just went to see Professor X!"Norton takes the first step
"Charles!"Magneto was very calm, with no expression of surprise or surprise on his face.
Norton was a little surprised by Magneto's reaction:"Aren't you surprised?"
"Charles will not die so easily!"Magneto's tone was very determined.
He is indeed a good friend who has been in love with each other for a lifetime, and Magneto knows Professor X best.
"Professor, he figured it out just now!"Norton changed the topic.
"how did you do that?"Magneto finally showed a surprised expression on his face, and it wasn't just ordinary surprise.
"Why does it have to be me? Couldn't it be that the professor woke up on his own? Norton asked rhetorically
"I know Charles very well. If he could wake up on his own, he would have woken up long ago. There is no way he could have waited until now!"The King of Magnetism"
"All right! It's really me! I told him that his way of thinking is clearly that of a mutant, but he always wants to integrate into the lives of ordinary people!"
At this point, Norton paused, looked into Magneto's eyes, and asked:"Eric, what about you?"
"I?"Magneto seems to be a little touched, but it's not enough.
He is really a lifelong friend, as stubborn as the professor!
And he has not experienced as much setbacks as the professor. At this time, Magneto is even more stubborn than Professor X.
"You are exactly the opposite of the professor. You think mutants are superior to others and want to fight for the status they deserve. However... your way of thinking and doing things are still completely human!" Norton said bluntly
"I……"Magneto feels something is wrong, but he can’t find a reason to refute it.
"you lose! General!"
Unknowingly, Norton had already won the game.
Magneto didn't care about winning or losing in the chess game, and was still thinking about Norton's words.
"This self-healing potion can make your body healthier.
Also, if you have time, you are welcome to check out the Carnegie Academy of Mutants!"
Before leaving, Norton left a bottle of potion, the same as the potion left for Professor X.
He also invited him to visit the Carnegie Institute of Mutants.
Facts are more convincing than mere words!
Magneto and Professor It is impossible for the Children of Destiny to be subdued.
Norton has never thought of subduing them. Winning them as allies is the best choice.
They and Norton are both mutant leaders and are natural allies.
And they all have their own ideas. With principles, he is definitely the most reliable ally.
The most important thing is that Norton didn't pay much.
Apart from a few lies, the only real thing was two self-healing potions.
The self-healing potions were also included in the information previously traded with the military. One of the little surprises I discovered. Its main ingredients are the self- healing factor produced by the Wolverine Once the tube was removed, the body adapted to his powerful psychic power. Magneto had no injuries on his body, but he had been malnourished since childhood, which damaged his vitality and made him look older. Once the tube was removed, the self-healing potion immediately made him younger. He was more than ten years old. Professor X accepted Norton's invitation the next day and came to the Carnegie School of Mutants. Norton personally accompanied Professor
"With so many children in class together, aren't you worried about their ability to lose control?"When we arrived at the first classroom, the professor asked
"The academy is surrounded by suppression equipment, so even if the ability goes out of control, it will not harm others."Norton explained.
Compared with ordinary American schools, the coursework at Carnegie Academy of Mutants is much more arduous, with a full schedule of courses and a lot of after-school homework. The curriculum is also very different, including courses related to X genetics. It is the core. There are almost no courses in literature and philosophy.
"Professor, how is my college?"After the visit, Norton asked
"……very nice!"
The professor actually had a lot of questions in his mind, but in the end he didn't raise any of them.
Because judging from the results, the education at Carnegie Academy for Mutants was successful.
Moreover, the children in the academy seemed to be mentally healthy and happy..
This made Professor X almost fall into self-doubt:"Am I wrong?"
Seeing the professor's doubts, Norton took him to a separate and isolated area.
