Chapter 9: The Training of "Qi"

"This person can eat way too much!"

Colossus watched as Hawking got up to get his food for the thirtieth time, his fork hovering in mid-air for a long time without falling.

In his view, the food Hawking got each time he went to queue was enough for an adult man to eat his fill, and Hawking had already eaten thirty servings and just got up to say he was only half full.

"Stephen Hawking was incredibly strong, even stronger than my father. I've long suspected that his strength was actually just due to his enormous appetite!"

Looking at the dumbfounded Colossus, Pietro Jr. said with a hint of pride.

Colossus smiled and shook his head:

"Well, Mr. Yug is going to be very busy today."

And just as Colossus had said, the portly chef, Yug, couldn't help but rub his forehead when he saw Hawking reappear before him.

"Kid, do you know what? You've almost eaten all the school's food for the whole day!"

The school has only a few dozen students, many of whom are children. They don't eat much at each meal, while many of the women among the adults have a habit of dieting to maintain their figure.

So the thirty meals Hawking ate were indeed almost enough for a day's worth of food at his school.

"That's because your food is so delicious, sir. By the way, is your ability telekinesis?"

Hawking watched as all sorts of ingredients were automatically washed, chopped, and cooked behind Yug, and the serving spoons in front of him were also unmanned, automatically serving the food. He asked with some curiosity.

Upon hearing Hawking praise the deliciousness of his food, Yug's expression immediately improved.

"It's mind control, but it's nothing compared to Professor Qin's. Even if I develop my abilities to the limit, I can only control things that weigh a few kilograms."

"Thank you. I'll probably need about thirty more servings to feel full. Thank you for your hard work, sir."

Hawking took the plate, which was already full of food, and before leaving, he kindly reminded Yug, making Yug's head spin instantly.

There was no way around it; he came to the mutant school specifically to get a good meal, so of course he wasn't going to be polite.

Mutants' abilities are not entirely different. For example, many mutants have telepathy, but very few can reach the level of Professor X.

Similarly, mind control, even at its limit, is only the ability of Yogg, a Level 1 mutant, to control kitchen utensils to assist in cooking.

Jean Grey, a Level 5 mutant, could easily levitate cars on a street, even when she was a child.

Looks like I'll have to go on a big shopping spree first thing tomorrow morning!

Yug calculated that the remaining ingredients in the kitchen were probably only enough for Hawking to eat alone.

Half an hour later, when all the students in the cafeteria had left, Hawking was finally full. This was the first time he had eaten his fill since he had traveled through time.

"Don't the professors usually eat with us?"

On his way to his room after finishing his meal and leaving the dining hall, Hawking casually asked...

During the entire meal, none of the university professors, such as Professor X, Storm, and Cyclops, were present.

Recalling the somewhat somber look on Storm Goddess's face when he entered the school that afternoon, he felt a vague unease.

"We usually eat in the cafeteria, but I didn't see any today."

Colossus also showed a puzzled expression.

Upon hearing this, Hawking paused:

"I hope I don't run into trouble on my very first day of school!"

He shook his head, thinking that perhaps he was overthinking things.

During his conversation with Colossus, he didn't hear anything about Wolverine Logan at school. In his memory, Wolverine was always involved in all the major X-Men events.

However, he still needed to be cautious, so he decided to refrain from extreme training for the next few days and wait until he was fully familiar with the school before starting.

However, not long after Hawking and his three companions left the dining hall, a very muscular man with a large beard, wearing a leather jacket and smoking a cigar, strode into the dining hall.

"Hey, Yug, get me some dinner."

"Logan, when did you get back? Are you done with your business?"

When Yug saw Logan, he burst out laughing.

The two were the only two smoking enthusiasts in the entire school, and they used to often smoke and chat together in the cafeteria.

"I've only been back for less than three hours, and I haven't gotten things done. The address the professor gave me is completely empty."

I wanted to come back and ask the professor to take another look at my brain, but he had to leave the school and left me here to be his babysitter for a few days!

Logan pulled out a cigar and tossed it to Yog, complaining.

Yug took the cigar and lit it:

"No wonder I haven't seen the professors all night."

Oh, I'm sorry you're a little late. A new kid with a huge appetite joined the school today, and he ate all the food I've had for the past two days.

"Okay, looks like I'll have to check the fridge upstairs. Maybe I can find some snacks to tide me over!"

Logan looked at the spotless kitchen and had no choice but to turn and leave.

Although not eating anything won't have any effect on him, the feeling of hunger will still persist.

On the other side, after returning to his room and doing hundreds of pre-sleep warm-up exercises, Hawking took a shower in the bathroom, changed into his pajamas, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

"Since we don't plan to do extreme physical training these next few days, let's spend more time on Qi concentration training."

He extended his middle finger and focused his mind on it. A ball of white energy began to slowly condense, then flickered and disappeared.

Qi is a term for energy. All living things, even flowers and plants, contain qi.

The Kamehameha of the Turtle School involves concentrating the body's energy and then unleashing a powerful and destructive energy attack.

Although Hawking's current physical strength is not enough to unleash a Kamehameha like Goku at age thirteen, he still possesses Goku's memories and can sense the ki within his body, which he can then slowly train.

Since I can't use the Kamehameha later on, it's not bad to have a regular energy blast to use for now.

Once my body is strong enough and I have a better grasp of ki, it wouldn't be impossible for me to research and develop some techniques based on ki.

For example, Yamcha's Ki Bomb, Chiaotzu's Dodo Wave, Tien Shinhan's Solar Flare, and Krillin's Destructo Slash, etc., can definitely be figured out if you are willing to spend the time.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Just as Hawking was finally able to maintain a ball of air the size of a marble on his middle finger, there was a sudden knock on the door.

I got up and opened the door. Little Wanda and Little Pietro, dressed in their pajamas and hugging their pillows, were standing in the doorway.

"Hawking, we can't sleep, we want to sleep with you."

It turned out that the brother and sister had just arrived in this unfamiliar environment and were a little scared staying in their respective rooms, so they ran over to find their brother Hawking, who could give them a sense of security.

"Come in."

Hawking patted the two men on the head and led them inside.

Wanda and Pietro are only ten years old, which is equivalent to second or third grade in normal society, so it's normal for them to be a little scared.

Once you've stayed here for a few days and gotten used to it, things will naturally get better.
