- Chapter 981 - A ‘fair’ duel that ended before it even began, Logan who lost his memory
Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters.
Although I haven’t been here for more than half a year, there doesn’t seem to be much change here.
Aaron walked into the school gate with ease, walked into the teaching building, and arrived in front of the principal’s office.
There was a knock on the door, and after getting permission, he opened the door.
Charles was teaching a class, and there were several senior students such as Pyro, Iceman, and Phantom Cat surrounding his desk.
As soon as Aaron entered, he caught everyone’s attention.
“Long time no see, Aaron.” Charles said politely.
“It seems I came at the wrong time.”
“The class is over.” Charles pointed to the closed textbook in his hand, and then said to several students: “The homework is to define the human principles of weakness and strength. It is due on Wednesday.”
Several students packed up their books and walked past Aaron.
“Are you here to see Qin?”
“Otherwise? I can’t come here to find you, right?”
“Actually, you should have come to her a long time ago.” Charles smiled and shook his head. “She secretly cried several times after returning from Egypt, but she was very thin-skinned and did not dare to come to you.”
“So I came to find her.” Aaron sat opposite Charles. “As for the purpose of looking for her, you should be able to guess.”
“Eric.” Old Charles said thoughtfully: “Fox must have told you what happened in the past two days, but I don’t think you need to worry.
Eric has always put the interests of mutants first, and since I am also in the school, he will not attack. “
“At most, he won’t attack by force.” Aaron disagreed, “If it were me, I wouldn’t attack by force, but you can only be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days.
This is a school, not a military zone, and there are loopholes everywhere.
And he’s not alone, they will always find a loophole. “
Charles pondered for a while and said: “I think you are confused if you care. Eric has a high reputation among mutants, but unless he officially declares war on humans, he will not build a mutant army without any scruples.
Now his Brotherhood of Mutants is not that powerful, and the X-Men will protect the school. “
Naive, it is unimaginable that such a naive person could be one of the two leaders of mutants.
The mutants have not been wiped out to this day, and Magneto is really responsible for it!
Aaron complained silently in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a rush of footsteps, and then the office door was opened again and quickly closed again.
The man who came in was barefoot, wearing ill-fitting clothes, and his breathing was rapid and disordered. He looked like a guilty thief, wary of unfamiliar surroundings.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt something. He slowly turned his head and saw Charles and Aaron in the room besides him.
“Alas!” Aaron sighed heavily, “Professor Charles, admit it!
The security at Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters is really not that good, anyone can get in. “
“I asked him to come in.” Charles didn’t explain much, he just looked at the man like an old friend, “Hello, Logan, I’m Charles Xavier, do you want to have some lunch?”
“Where am I?”
“New York, Westchester.
You were attacked and my people brought you for treatment. “
“I don’t need treatment.” Logan said coldly. His mutant abilities are freely retractable steel claws and outrageous self-healing ability. Treatment is completely unnecessary.
“Yes, of course.”
“Where is the girl?”
“The little naughty one is here, she’s fine.”
“Really?” Logan asked, staring into Charles’ eyes.
At this time, the door opened again, and the silver-haired Storm and Cyclops wearing red goggles walked in.
“Oh my God!” Aaron complained speechlessly, “Am I the only one who knows how to knock on the door when I come in?”
“Aaron?” Ororo raised an eyebrow and snorted: “You still know how to come here!”
“You shouldn’t have come here.” Scott didn’t look good at all, “Why do you still come here?”
“My girlfriend is here, why can’t I come?”
“It’s your ex-girlfriend.” Scott emphasized seriously, “You and she haven’t been in contact for more than half a year. You guys…”
“How do we have anything to do with you?” Aaron said dismissively, “Don’t tell you that you are still thinking about someone else’s girlfriend. Are you cheap?”
“you…”
“Are you angry? Bite me if you don’t accept it!” Aaron said provocatively, and then looked at Scott solemnly, “I’ll give you a fair chance to fight.
I don’t need weapons, you don’t need mutant powers, it’s a one-on-one duel, you choose the time and place.
As for the results not being announced to the public, whoever is weak will be unlucky. “
“If you win, I will never come to this school again. If you lose, stay away from Qin.”
Hearing this, Scott was really moved for a moment.
He’s a mutant, and although his mutant abilities are all in his eyes, that doesn’t mean he’s weak.
The X-Men have been strictly screened, and their physical fitness and fighting skills are much better than ordinary people. If they were put together with ordinary people, they would be able to beat three at least one.
As for Aaron, it’s not like he didn’t know about it. Alchemist, fortune teller, pharmacist… there are many professions, but none of them are related to combat. Moreover, alchemists don’t use weapons, which is no different from binding their own hands and feet.
To sum up, Aaron is just a good-looking pretty boy, there is no reason why he can’t beat him!
As long as he can win, he can save Qin from that complicated relationship that she shouldn’t have, and also teach Aaron a profound lesson.
Anyway, the result of the duel is not announced to the public, so it is up to him to decide whether to win or not.
Compared with Scott’s psychological activities that were so exciting that it was difficult to suppress, Aaron’s was much simpler. He didn’t think about winning or losing at all. He couldn’t lose anyway.
What he thought was that as long as Scott agreed, he would directly defeat him in the duel and completely erase his little thoughts that he shouldn’t have.
Just as Scott was about to agree, Jean walked in.
Looking at Qin, who was dressed in red, he swallowed his words hard.
“Consider you lucky.”

“It’s not certain who will be lucky!” Aaron thought to himself that it was a pity, and then winked at Qin.
Are you surprised to see me? Is it surprising? Are you impressed?
Qin raised her lips and rolled her eyes at him, indicating that there were other people here, so she had better restrain herself.
“That’s interesting,” Logan joked.
“Logan, let me introduce you.” Charles said, “This is Ororo Munro, also known as Storm, and this is Scott Summers, nicknamed Cyclops and Cyclops.
This is Dr. Jean Grey, I’m sure you’ve met her. “
“What about him?” Logan asked, pointing at Aaron.
“He is Aaron Gaius. He is not a mutant, but he is a very outstanding individual among humans.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“You are in my school for geniuses, which is specially opened for mutants. You can safely avoid Magneto here.”
“I’m skeptical about this.” Aaron said inappropriately, “It’s a good thing to be confident, but it’s not a good thing to be too confident.”
“Magneto?” Ron frowned subconsciously, “What does he want from me?”
“He believed that there would be a war between humans and mutants, so he prepared an experiment, an experiment that turned ordinary people into mutants.” Charles sighed deeply, “And to better complete this plan, he Need mutant help.”
“How can I help with this plan?”
“I’m not sure if he’s looking for you, because judging from his needs and purposes, Little Naughty is more like his target.
But you cannot be excluded. Your self-healing ability may make the experiment more stable.
By the way, the one attacking you is a companion of Magneto called Sabretooth Tiger. “
“Sabre-toothed tiger?” Logan smiled disdainfully, “What do they call you? Wheelchair? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.”
“Logan, it’s been almost fifteen years, hasn’t it?” Charles said flatly, “Living day after day, moving from one place to another, with no memory of who or what you are.”
“Shut up.” Logan’s expression changed, and there was a fierce warning in his eyes.
“Give me a chance and I might be able to help you find the answer.”
“How did you know?”
“You’re not the only one with talent… where you’re going… where he’s going… here…”
An unusually familiar yet strange voice sounded in Logan’s mind, faintly awakening memories buried deep in his soul.
He immediately realized that Charles was his friend before he lost his memory. Even if he was not a friend, he must have interacted with him. Maybe he could really help him find his past.
“What is this place?”
“Let me show you around!” Charles smiled, “Oluoro, Scott, you go back to teach first. As for Qin… you and Aaron should have a good talk!”
“Professor…” Scott wanted to say something, but when he met Charles Furui’s eyes, he swallowed all his words again, “I know, I’ll go to class right away.”
Scott quickly left everyone’s sight like a child having a tantrum.
Charles sighed silently. This student was good at everything. He was impeccable in character and ability, but he just couldn’t let go of Qin.
But as someone who has been through it, he also understands his thoughts. Perhaps only time can make him let go slowly!
Charles controlled the automatic wheelchair to lead the way, and took Logan very carefully to visit the mutant academy, classrooms, canteens, dormitories, libraries, and even the underground fighter jets were not hidden.
While patiently introducing the school environment, he did not forget his own school philosophy.
“Anonymity is the first defense for mutants against the hostility of the world. To the outside world, we are just a school for gifted children. One-Eyed and Storm are all my students.
I protect them, teach them to control their powers, and in time teach others to do the same.
The students mostly fled home, frightened and alone, some with talents so extreme that they were a danger to themselves and those around them.
Like your friend Little Naughty, she cannot have physical contact with humans and may remain like this for the rest of her life. However, here she studies with other people of the same age and is accepted by everyone.
It’s up to her to decide what happens to her, to rejoin the world as an educated woman, or to stay and teach others and become what the kids call an ‘X-Men’…”
…
“X-Men, it sounds like a great name, but do you really think of yourself as a police officer?”
“I never thought about it that way.” Qin sighed slightly, “The professor doesn’t let us get involved in things that have nothing to do with mutants.”
“Fortunately, he didn’t let you interfere, otherwise this school would have been destroyed long ago.” Aaron snorted coldly, then grabbed Qin’s right hand, looked at the moonstone bracelet on her wrist and said, “Should you and Let me explain, why is this defensive weapon half useless in just half a year?”
“This… accidents will inevitably happen during the mission!”
“I know, but accidents like this can be avoided.” Aaron said earnestly, “I can understand if you don’t leave this mutant school with me that will be attacked by missiles at any time.
I can even accept your efforts for the survival of mutants, but you should think about yourself! “
“There are still nine moonstones left on this bracelet, and its defense capability has been greatly reduced. If it is bombarded by powerful energy, it may not be able to protect you.”
“Don’t worry, I’m measured.”
“Pull it down! If you had sense, this defensive weapon wouldn’t be like this.
And judging from your current consumption of this magic weapon, I’m really worried that the remaining nine moonstones will be turned into powder before next year. “Aaron complained quite depressedly, then looked at Qin seriously and said: “Listen to my advice, don’t be an X-Men, it’s too dangerous.
Can’t you stay in this school and be a teacher who teaches and educates people? “
Qin pursed her lips while hesitating, and shook her head under Aaron’s expectant eyes, “I’m sorry.”
Aaron suddenly felt upset and asked with a bitter smile: “Why?”
“You don’t know the plight of mutants.” Qin said in a low voice: “Since the existence of mutants was exposed, it seems that the whole world’s malice has been suppressed.
Some were abandoned by their families, some took the initiative to hide, and some were maliciously reported. If these homeless mutants did anything wrong at all, they would be captured by the Sentinel Secret Service.
Those who are more lucky will end up in jail, and those who are less lucky will be subjected to human experiments.
Under this situation, mutants formed small groups, but the situation of these organizations was not good, and they needed guidance and encouragement. “
“But you don’t have to do this job!”
“Besides the Professor, I am the only one with telepathic powers.
The professor founded this school to protect mutants, but a school is still a school. We can only protect a few children from harm and protect them from growing up healthily, but even so, there are many risks.
It’s not that we don’t want to recruit those powerful mutants, but these people are the spiritual pillars of the mutant organization. Without them, the organization will soon fall apart. “
“Okay!” Aaron breathed a long sigh of relief, seemingly convinced by Qin’s strong reasons, “Can you tell me what you have been doing during this time?”
