His eyes were still closed, but his eyebrows twitched slightly. A powerful mental force, so strong that even the onlookers could feel it, erupted from Eric.
In the eyes of the crowd, this incredibly strong, invisible mental force condensed into a translucent giant blade, which slashed towards the oncoming flames.
The flames were instantly split in two!
Behind the translucent mental blade, a translucent fist suddenly materialized in the space, growing larger and larger in Genos's eyes, radiating an incredibly oppressive aura.
"So… strong!"
This punch defeated Genos; he lost.
"Are you alright?" Eric walked over and extended a hand to Genos, who was sitting on the ground.
"I'm fine. You're really amazing. We should spar more in the future."
Genos said, truly feeling that coming here was fantastic. There were experts everywhere. Those who left here in the future would definitely be incredibly strong individuals.
"Alright," Eric chuckled, and the two hit it off immediately. They had become friends after a fight.
This outcome was acceptable. Han Yu wasn't surprised no matter who won. Now, he needed to assimilate their combat power, translating the power of Genos and the others to see what level they would be in the Marvel universe.
In the following two hours, Eric acted as a sparring partner, exchanging blows with the three of them.
In his battle with Saitama, Eric lost immediately. Saitama instantly teleported behind him at the start, and his seemingly ordinary fist came crashing down on him like the sky was falling.
If Saitama hadn't stopped at the last moment, Eric was certain he wouldn't have survived that blow.
And in his battle with Fubuki, Eric won. Fubuki was a psychic, her ability being the control of wind. But it was very quiet here, with nothing for Fubuki to use for additional attacks.
Normally, her fights involved using wind to manipulate various objects, using them to attack. Her attack style was somewhat similar to Charles's magnetic field control.
But this place was incredibly smooth, with hardly any dust. Although Fubuki's attacks weren't weak, they weren't difficult to break through Eric's solidified mental barrier, and she was defeated in the end.
When it was King's turn, things got a little strange. Just facing him, Eric felt an invisible pressure bearing down on him, as if a giant was standing before him, a pressure that the average person couldn't withstand.
"What's with that sound?" Charles asked.
When Eric and King stood facing each other, a muffled "boom boom boom" sound continuously emanated from the latter, like two high-quality subwoofers playing right in front of you. The sound alone could make your heartbeat slow down.
"That's the 'Emperor Engine.' It's King's ultimate move. When he enters battle mode, this sound will come from him, indicating that he's ready to strike."
Fubuki explained seriously, appearing to be quite serious, which completely baffled Charles.
Saitama and Han Yu, who knew what was really going on, exchanged glances, and they could see the expressions of amusement and helplessness on each other's faces. The so-called Emperor Engine was completely made up by others.
"Alright, let's stop here for now. We'll fight again next time."
Eric heard Fubuki's words and immediately admitted defeat. Her aura was simply too overwhelming.
It was like facing a boss in a game. He was level 20, while she was already level 80. They weren't even in the same league.
Neither Genos nor Fubuki was surprised by the result. It was common for people to concede immediately when facing King.
Han Yu was truly at a loss for words. Did King's strength truly depend on the opponent's imagination?
"As expected of the seventh-ranked S-Class Hero," Fubuki said sincerely. "Someone so strong is actually a student. What right do I have to be a teacher? No, I need to study too, Han. I don't want to be a teacher anymore. I want to be a student!"
"Me too!" Genos echoed.
Han Yu was a little exasperated. "You two... didn't we agree you'd be teachers?"
"If Saitama-sensei were the teacher, I'd have no objections, but we absolutely cannot. Seeing King and Eric's battle showed us how pathetic our strength is. We need to train more."
Genos looked serious as he said this, and it was clear he had made up his mind.
Han Yu was very helpless about this outcome, but he couldn't reveal the truth about King's so-called "Emperor Engine."
Even though this wasn't what he wanted, nor was it something he deliberately fostered, King had enjoyed some of the benefits this position brought. If his identity was exposed now, it would be fine here, but in their original world, King would be ruined. No, his fate would be worse than being ruined.
The ignorant masses would attack him, and King's daily life would become very difficult.
Han Yu's gaze landed on King, who had returned to Saitama's side and was whispering something to him.
King was also well aware of these things; otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed becoming a student in the first place. He wanted to gain real combat power, or else it would be hard to keep this a secret for a lifetime.
"Finally... Jean, do you want to spar with everyone?" Han Yu looked at Jean Grey, who had been standing to the side, and said with a soft smile.
"I'll pass. I don't really know how to control my abilities right now; I'm afraid of hurting people," Jean Grey said truthfully.
"Hmm, alright. I need to tell you, your ability is called the Phoenix Force. It's a cosmic-level source of power. If you master this power, you will easily reach the pinnacle of Mutants, a Level Five Mutant!" Han Yu narrowed his eyes and said.
Level Five!
Charles and Eric were both surprised to hear this. They hadn't ruled it out; the X System's calculations predicted that Jean Grey would eventually reach Level Four Mutant, and perhaps even ascend to Level Five.
But that was just a prediction, not reality.
However, when those words came from Han Yu, it was different.
Charles and Eric had complete faith in Han Yu. It was he who set them on the path of finding Mutants and establishing this school. He deserved a large share of the credit for the school's growth and success.
Now, hearing him tell Jean Grey with such certainty that her mutant ability was a power from the source of the universe… well, it startled not only the young girl, but also these grown men.
They, as Mutants, were still human. Jean Grey, on the other hand, possessed a power directly from the source of the universe. Who could withstand that?
"Is my ability really that powerful?"
Jean Grey was somewhat incredulous. She had originally thought she was extraordinary because she was a Mutant. Now, among a group of Mutants and those with superpowers, she was still extraordinary.
