Surely a powerful interstellar civilization can't even write a physics lesson plan at a middle school level?

With that thought in mind, Mason immediately made a decision: "Then I'll leave it to you!"

"..."

There was no reply.

Is he becoming withdrawn? Just because he has to write a lesson plan? Is it really that serious?

But the die was cast, so Mason immediately smiled and replied after ending the telepathic call: "Of course, I'd love to—but this is actually my first time teaching, so I'm hoping someone can share some experience with me."

As for whether he's afraid Charles will find out something... that's not something that can be solved by fear. From the moment he connected with Lorna, he already faced the risk of having his head pried open by the bald wheelchair-bound man—I have to say it three times: some things can't be solved by hiding away. Being afraid is useless; it's better to forge ahead.

"Of course, that's perfectly fine."

Charles nodded and said, "Logan will introduce you to Jean, Scott, and Hank later, as well as other current X-Men members. Many of them have experience in this area, so feel free to ask them any questions. Also, if you still have issues with controlling your abilities, the Academy has a well-established development process open to all mutants who need it. If you don't mind, you can give it a try."

This was really tempting for Mason.

The first half had the charm of a fan meeting, while the second half truly addressed his most pressing needs at that moment.

"That's great!" Mason replied happily.

"Well... Logan, if you have any time, go find an empty room in the faculty dormitory for Mason to stay in," the professor said, patting his leg. "Unfortunately, I can't do that myself—anyway, Mason looks like he hasn't slept all night, so let's put everything else aside for now and let him get some sleep."

"it is good."

Logan scratched his head: "No problem, I'll take him there right away."

The two then said goodbye to the professor and quietly left the office.

Silent all the way.

Based on Mason's understanding of the old wolf, he should be a fairly talkative person. However, since Mason is currently a stranger with no clear purpose, he can't force the wolf to behave in any particular way. Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future.

Just like that, a few minutes later, Logan led him to another castle that looked like a dormitory, where they found an empty room at the far end of the second floor.

"There are all the basic necessities in here, as well as some college brochures and such. You can take care of these yourself; I can't possibly make your bed for you," Logan said, raising his head. "It's 6:30 now. I'll come and wake you up again at 1:00 PM."

Thank you.

After thanking him, Mason took the room key from Logan and watched him leave without looking back.

Enter the room.

The environment is nice, the area is about 60 square meters, and it has all the necessary furniture, all of which are mid-to-high-end items.

This is way more luxurious than the dorms assigned by S.H.I.E.L.D. Professor Charles is indeed very wealthy!

Later, he found a complete set of household items in the wardrobe and continued chatting with Kuroshi Kasumi while arranging them.

"How about it? I don't think anyone has messed with my brain, right?"

"No, not at all." Kuroshi Kasumi said to Mason with a hint of annoyance in her voice, "But I have to emphasize again, this place is a bit too dangerous—not just that unknown high-density energy entity, but that bald guy you just saw is also troublesome. You can tell at a glance that he's the type who's particularly good at playing tricks, and I might not be able to stop him."

"Ha, there are probably many people like that on this planet."

After quickly making the bed, Mason turned around, lay down on it, and immediately closed his eyes.

"Eh? Are you going to sleep in a place like this, guest?"

"Of course, what else can we do but sleep?" Mason yawned. "Although I don't think anyone here will do anything to me, I'll leave my safety to you. See you in a few hours."

After saying that, he decisively closed his eyes.

Important things need to be repeated... Anyway, I've said it many times already. In short, while we should be cautious in life, we shouldn't become neurotic just because there might be risks. In other words, we should be more carefree when necessary, as this is good for our physical and mental health.

The harrowing night had left his brain exhausted, and his previous self-healing seemed ineffective in this regard. So, after leaning against the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep within minutes.

In the alternate dimension between the neighboring world and the real world, Kuroishi Kasumi sighed, "This guest is really strange..."

..............................

Later, in the academy's underground space, a group of X-Men, including Charles, Jean Grey, Logan, Beast Hank, Cyclops Scott, Storm, and Shockwave, gathered in a huge space the size of a football field, forming a circle and watching the "strange object" floating in mid-air.

It was literally pitch black, like a sphere about six meters in diameter had been hollowed out of a complete space. People in the world usually call this a "void," meaning that nothing can be detected inside it, whether it is matter, energy or anything else.

The Void has many incredible properties. For example, although there is nothing inside, it does not suck in the surrounding air like a hatch breaking in a space disaster movie. If a person reaches in or sticks their head out, they can be pulled out normally. However, if a person jumps in or throws a rock in, the whole thing will disappear. It is not yet clear whether the thing that disappears is directly destroyed or simply transferred to another place.

In addition, strange things will occasionally fall out of the cave. According to statistics from various forces, about 13% are harmless dead objects, such as stones and metal ores, 17% are items with some threat, such as radioactive materials and poisons, 7% are items with some value, such as various energy blocks and products of unknown technology, and the remaining 63% are dangerous creatures that will immediately attack the surrounding area after they appear.

According to statistics, most of the dangerous creatures that emerge from the voids are not Earth species, and there are even records of non-carbon-based life forms. However, so far, they are basically beings without the ability to communicate, with only one or two very few exceptions: the mechanical life form "Red Spider" that emerged from the void in Russia and the humanoid alien life form "Predator" that emerged from the void controlled by the Hellfire Club.

However, due to various reasons, communication with these two intelligent life forms has not been smooth, so much so that the mystery of the void has not been solved to this day. Its nature cannot be analyzed, nor can a way to shut it down be found.

So far, the dangerous creatures emerging from the caverns have shown a clear trend of increasing in strength. Take the one known to the X-Men as an example: initially, it was just a highly aggressive rodent as long as a human arm. But two weeks ago, a giant wolf over ten meters long emerged from it. If Shadowcat hadn't been quick enough to call for help, the beast would have almost killed several researchers who were unable to fight.

This void has only existed for about a year. If it continues to develop, what kind of things might emerge from it? Nobody knows for sure.

Other cavities present similar situations, leading many scientists to propose the hypothesis that "Earth's civilization may be destroyed by cavities."

"Professor, why have you called us here?"

Logan was the first to ask, "Have you discovered something new about this thing?"
