So when faced with Xiao Taoqi's request, Bai Ye hesitated for a moment before quickly smiling and saying, "Of course, no problem. But to prevent you from regretting it later, I'll take you to the mutant academy first, and then we'll make a decision."
"No... I won't regret it." The little rascal shook his head vigorously, then realized that his intentions were a bit too obvious, blushed and buried his head in his food.
After a peaceful and uneventful night, early the next morning, Bai Ye, following the address left by Charles, took Xiao Taoqi to the Wizel Academy for Gifted Young People.
Looking at the beautiful manor in front of him, even Bai Ye's eyes flashed with curiosity about this mutant academy.
Chapter 60 Professor X, stand still!
"Welcome to Xavier's Academy for Gifted Young People. Please wait a moment; I've already sent a teacher to pick you up."
New York, Westchester County, Grema King Road.
Just as Xiao Taoqi and Bai Ye were standing at the academy gate, a gentle voice rang in their minds.
Seeing the little rascal looking around, Bai Ye explained, "Don't be nervous. The one who spoke is the mutant with psychic abilities that I mentioned yesterday. He's also the principal of this school."
"Crench!"
Not long after, with the sound of the gate being pushed open, three figures walked out from in front of the academy gate.
One man and two women. The man in the lead was a man with dark red glasses. The other two were a black woman with white hair and a woman with burgundy hair.
"You must be Bai Ye, the one Professor X mentioned." All three of them focused their attention on Bai Ye, curiously examining this non-mutant who had made the news and possessed considerable strength.
Then, the red-haired woman turned her gaze to the little rascal.
Seeing her huddled warily behind Bai Ye, she smiled gently and said, "You must be Mary. Don't be nervous. Everyone here is one of us."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jean Grey, and my abilities are mind control and telekinesis." The red-haired woman said, slowly opening her right hand. An invisible force of telekinesis emerged, and a coin floated up, moving erratically in the air.
This move immediately caught Xiao Taoqi's attention, and the unusual scene also eased Xiao Taoqi's initial wariness somewhat.
'Is this Phoenix Girl?' Bai Ye thought to himself, looking at the floating coin in front of him.
As the host of the Phoenix Force, it is currently in a sealed state. If it can perfectly master the Phoenix Force, it could even rewrite reality.
However, the universe I'm in is more like a movie version, so it would be good if this guy could destroy an island after being unsealed.
Led by the three, Bai Ye and Xiao Taoqi walked into the school.
Under Bai Ye's watchful gaze, there were children running on the water and teenagers playing basketball using their mutant abilities. In Bai Ye's eyes, this place was nothing more than a containment center for abnormal humans.
At this moment, the group of young men playing basketball noticed the group being led by the teachers. Upon seeing the mischievous boy, one of them loudly invited, "Are you a new student? What's your mutant ability? Come and play with us!"
Little Rascal watched the various mutants freely using their abilities, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes. Mutants didn't understand each other, and she only lamented that her own ability was so cumbersome, preventing her from even having normal contact with others.
"Want to go play?" Just as she was getting into an emo phase, Bai Ye's voice rang out at the right time, and then the girl felt a warm palm gently touch her cheek.
The next moment, a tremendous force flowed into Mary's body. She looked up in astonishment and saw that the person who reached out was Bai Ye.
Bai Ye, feeling that the power transfer was almost complete, released his grip and said with a smile, "You've been strengthened by me now, hurry up and go for it."
Touched, Xiao Taoqi glanced at Bai Ye who had helped him and shook his head vigorously, saying, "I don't want to play basketball, I just want to follow you."
The interaction between the two attracted the attention of the basketball boys. One of the mutant boys suddenly pointed at Bai Ye and shouted, "Hey, aren't you the one on TV, that Bai... Bai Ye!"
These words immediately caused a huge stir. The students around all stopped what they were doing and gathered around. When they got closer, they were excited to see that it really was a celebrity who had been on TV before.
Excitement, admiration, goodwill, disgust...
A flood of emotions rushed through this non-mutant, yet positive, superhuman.
Faced with the chaotic atmosphere, Jean had no choice but to use her mental abilities to say, "Quiet down, these are the professor's guests, don't make noise here."
With the help of her calming power, the teenagers immediately quieted down. Qin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go quickly, the professor has been waiting inside for a long time."
"Hmm." Bai Ye nodded gently and followed them to the door of a room. He gently pushed the door open and entered. What came into view was a bald old man sitting in a wheelchair.
“It’s finally time to meet in person, Mr. White,” Charles said with a gentle smile.
“Yes, as you requested, I safely delivered Little Rascal here, but it seems she doesn’t really want to stay,” Bai Ye said, finding a seat like the others.
“It’s alright. We respect every mutant’s choice. If she wants to leave with you, I won’t stop her.” Charles didn’t care at all, which made the little rascal behind Bai Ye secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Actually, I also wanted to ask Mr. Bai a question this time," Professor X said seriously. "After seeing the school for mutants, has your view of mutants changed?"
"Why should there be change? Don't forget that mutants were once human too. Once you're human, you're human for life. What's the difference in their mindset?"
Bai Ye spoke calmly, but his words improved everyone's opinion of him, including Professor X and Jean.
They knew before that Bai Ye didn't discriminate against mutants, but now they truly acknowledged Bai Ye. However, Bai Ye's next words left them stunned.
"However... I do not agree with your approach."
Bai Ye then changed the subject, saying, "Black people during the colonial period and Jews during the Third German period were physically more human than you, but they still could not escape the fate of persecution and massacre."
“Professor X, I think your approach is too cowardly. In comparison, Magneto, although radical, is more to my liking,” Bai Ye said truthfully, a statement that truly surprised everyone.
It's somewhat unbelievable that a pure human would agree with the ideology of the leader of a mutant resistance organization.
But in Bai Ye's view, mutants and humans are nothing more than a struggle between intelligent life forms. They are birds of a feather, so what is the big difference between them?
He's slept with vampires. As long as someone is good-looking and to his liking, he'll even sleep with mutants!
"What did you say?" Bai Ye's support for Magneto immediately provoked Cyclops' protest: "Only the Professor's ideals can allow humans and mutants to coexist. Magneto's actions will only lead mutants to destruction."
Seeing Cyclops' excited expression, Bai Ye helplessly stood up and looked at Charles, saying, "Professor X, could you stand up for a moment?"
Charles, sitting in a wheelchair: ??? Do you want to see what you're saying?!
"Alright." Bai Ye looked at everyone in the seats helplessly and said, "To me, everyone here now, except for Professor X, is trash."
"Your so-called peace ideals are worthless to me."
Chapter 61 I Want to Become a Mutant
"If mutants don't have the power to protect themselves, they're just fish on a chopping board. What I'm saying isn't justice, it's just reality."
Bai Ye calmly looked at the mutants present and said, "If I were hostile to you, none of you would survive more than three seconds, especially Professor X."
“In fact, I’ve always felt that as the leader of the mutants, you shouldn’t be showing your face like this. A single bullet would be enough to paralyze you,” Bai Ye said to Professor X, speaking frankly.
To Bai Ye at this moment, everyone present was a group of high-attack, low-defense individuals, the kind who could be easily defeated with a single punch.
As long as Professor X is killed, no one else poses a threat to him.
Looking at the boy who had stood up and was looking down at them, Professor X lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Laser Eyes was somewhat unconvinced, but as soon as he looked up, he felt a lightness on his head. The next moment, a thick, crimson laser burst from his eyes, piercing through the wall in front of him, which frightened him so much that he quickly closed his eyes.
The sudden turn of events startled everyone. Jean Grey instinctively tried to activate her telekinesis, but the next moment her vision turned red as her boyfriend's glasses were already being put on her head by Bai Ye.
Turning his head, he saw that Bai Ye, the instigator, had returned to his original position and was calmly watching them.
“Look, this is the difference between us.” Bai Ye spread his hands, looking at the tightly closed eyes of Laser Eyes and the glasses-wearing Jean Grey.
The flaws of this extreme development are too great; it becomes truly useless if targeted.
"You're attacking me from behind." Cyclops tightly covered his eyes to prevent the laser beams shooting from his eyes from injuring others.
"If you can't even open your eyes, stop being stubborn. Unless your eyeballs can keep up with the bullets, you can't even keep up with my footsteps," Bai Ye teased.
Ginger quickly took off her glasses and put them on her boyfriend, allowing him to see clearly again. Looking at Bai Ye, she said, "Let's have another round, and then..."
Before he could finish speaking, the familiar feeling returned once again. Bai Ye looked at Laser Eyes, who was hurriedly closing his eyes again, and gently twirled the glasses he had seized in his hand with his index finger.
"Do you need me to demonstrate again?" Bai Ye smiled and tossed the glasses back.
Seeing Laser Eyes put his glasses back on, everyone had to admit that their movements were indeed too slow compared to Bai Ye's.
If this boy truly harbored hostility, killing them would only take a moment.
……
Inside a seaside base, Magneto looked at Sabretooth, who had returned with only one person to report, and asked, "What happened?"
“The target was intercepted by a human named Bai Ye,” the saber-toothed tiger said.
"White Night?" Magneto thought of the interview from a week ago: "How did you end up running into him?"
"It seems to be a request from the X-Men, and that person found out about our plan; he knows about our machine-making," Sabretooth said.
“How is this possible? Did Charles spy on your memories?” Magneto pondered.
"No, it seems only that person knows, and he said that the machine we made has major defects, and he asked us to come to him within three days so he can talk to us."
Is the machine defective? Would you like to talk to me about it?
Magneto was even more puzzled. Why would a human want to talk to him, a mutant? What was there to talk about?
“Fine, I’d like to see what he wants to talk to me about,” Magneto said calmly. “Immediately have your men investigate the whereabouts of Bai Ye and the target.”
Half an hour later, Sabretooth returned after gathering intelligence through his subordinates and said, "The message just passed back from Xavier's Institute says that White Night has arrived at the Mutant Academy with his target."
"However, they didn't stay long. It seems they had a conflict with the X-Men. They left the academy together with their targets shortly after."
"A conflict broke out with the X-Men."
Magneto, who was initially somewhat displeased that Bai Ye had gone to the academy, smirked and said, "Send me his current location, and I'll go find him directly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man slightly clenched his right hand, and the metal wall behind him transformed into a huge iron plate under his control.
Magneto took a small step forward, stepping onto the smooth iron plate. Under the control of the magnetic field, the iron plate floated into the air, carrying him all the way out of the base and across the sea.
As Bai Ye drove off towards the return trip, he kept his eyes on the road ahead and said to the mischievous boy in the passenger seat, "Are you sure you don't want to stay at the academy and want to leave with me?"
The little rascal nodded emphatically and said, "I'll just follow you. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'll help you." Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "For now, try to control your abilities, such as absorbing other people's energy only after touching them."
"Or try developing the ability to see if we can absorb energy remotely or allow inanimate objects to absorb their properties through contact."
"While I'm at it, I'll also see if I can permanently preserve the abilities I've absorbed, or pass them on," Bai Ye said casually.
What he said is something that the mischievous little boy in the comics can do, so there's no reason why he can't do it now.
The reason he was so useless in the original movie plot was probably because he had a negative attitude towards his own abilities and never used them, let alone developed them.
'Controlling absorption ability.' Little Rascal looked at his hands, deep in thought. Bai Ye's suggestions were indeed good: 'But, I don't know who to use it on, or how to practice?'
"It's okay, I'll buy you a basket of white mice tomorrow, you can practice on them." Bai Ye said indifferently, since mice's lives are worth very little, they're very cheap.
"Little guinea pig!" The little rascal, who had never expected that practice could be done this way, was stunned for a moment, and then thought that this kind of practice was simply amazing.
