"A laser beam?"
"My goodness, isn't that Mr. Scott's ability?"
At this moment, all the students gathered at the windows of the teaching building witnessed an unforgettable scene.
Mr. Scott's opponent, his eyes emitted a brilliant energy beam.
Boom!
Alex Johnson's heat vision, making its first appearance in the world, collided with the opponent's laser beam.
A golden one, a red one—two beams of different colors clashed.
But the balance between them lasted for barely half a second before the golden light released by Alex crushed the opponent's laser beam.
Bang!
The golden beam, continuing its momentum, mercilessly struck Cyclops Scott.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, his figure was sent flying.
Like a tattered sandbag, he crashed through the pear wood door behind him, his entire disheveled body falling to the ground.
"Mr. Scott lost..."
"That's too tragic, and he was defeated by an ability he stole!"
The students hidden behind the various windows immediately began to discuss amongst themselves.
No one expected that Cyclops Scott, an elite backbone of the X-Men, would lose to a beam of light from the opponent's eyes.
"Damn bastard..."
Their battle erupted and was over in an instant.
The X-Men personnel who had rushed over discovered their teammate already lying on the ground.
Beast, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and others all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Brother..."
At this moment, an untimely cheer came from the mouth of a young girl...
"Susan!"
Alex could not suppress the joy in his heart.
The figure of the girl who came running and skipping, wasn't she his sister who had been separated for many days?
Whoosh!
Like a swallow returning to its nest, a jubilant Susan flew into Alex's embrace.
"Brother..."
Usually playful and strong, Susan at this moment couldn't help but let a hint of a cry enter her words.
"Bastard, I thought I wouldn't see you again!"
Susan's eyes were filled with tears, her small hands clutching Alex's clothes tightly, as if afraid he would disappear the next second.
Counting the time Alex himself was imprisoned, the two had not seen each other for nearly twenty days.
Since their mother's passing, they had basically lived a life of dependence on each other. Thinking of all the past hardships, even the long-indifferent Alex couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.
"It's okay, everything is over."
Alex was much stronger than before.
Over the past half month, his tempering was not only reflected in his physical evolution, but his entire mental state had also undergone a transformation.
He was no longer as flustered and at a loss as before; instead, he tried his best to comfort his sister.
"You should be okay, right? Have you been doing well during this time?"
Compared to himself, Alex was more concerned about how his sister had been doing during this period.
"It's alright, the food here is pretty good, much better than your cooking."
Susan's words made Alex feel a little embarrassed.
"Cough, cough..."
At this moment, Professor Charles, who arrived in a wheelchair, interrupted their greetings.
"This Grandpa found me. He's very powerful, but I almost cried begging him, and he just couldn't find any trace of you."
Susan said with a scrunched face, clearly displeased.
At this moment, her small hand tightly grasped her brother's right hand, her arm trembling slightly, clearly indicating she was nervous.
Although Susan was always mischievous and playful, compared to what her brother had done on television, those small pranks were nothing.
No matter what the future held, no matter what they had to face next, she was determined to stand by her brother's side.
"Everyone, please return to your dorms."
Professor Charles waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop watching.
"This is too disappointing."
"They're not going to fight, are they?"
Everyone seemed a bit excited.
Mutants, after all, were marginalized figures in society. The thought of possessing superpowers yet suffering discrimination and injustice from outside humans naturally made many Mutant children very dissatisfied.
Everyone was still young, and constantly yielding to humans, bowing their heads and enduring, truly made them feel incredibly disheartened and frustrated.
Now, a young man almost the same age as them stood before everyone.
He had achieved what even Magneto could not accomplish in the past.
Fear and apprehension disappeared; everyone looked at Alex with a hint of admiration and reverence.
Alas... Professor Charles could feel the change in everyone's mindset. In recent years, cases of injustice against Mutants had indeed become increasingly rampant, causing people's hearts to become somewhat restless.
"Professor."
The X-Men gathered around, their wary eyes fixed on Alex in the distance.
"Scott's right shoulder was completely pierced. If it had been off by just ten more centimeters, his entire arm would have been completely pulverized by this guy."
Storm said indignantly.
As fellow X-Men and companions for over a decade, most of those present felt a sense of empathy, uniting in their shared hatred of the enemy.
"Arrest him."
"Don't hesitate any longer, Professor."
"His actions are nothing more than a rehash of Magneto's; his existence will only further cleave the connection between Mutants and the human race."
Upon hearing this.
Susan immediately became furious, saying with great dissatisfaction, "Are you guys used to being enslaved? People are already taking advantage of you, and you still want to make peace with them. Is it my brother's fault that he was hunted by humans like a guinea pig?"
"You..."
Don't let Susan's age, just over ten, fool you; she was articulate, and her rebuttal was quite clever.
Many X-Men, if not for their apprehension of Alex's presence, would have almost lost their temper and stepped forward.
"This mischievous little devil..."
Colossus still felt angry remembering how she had used her ability to remove a wheel from their jet to prevent them from leaving earlier.
"We have already communicated."
Professor Charles ignored the noisy chatter around him, instead calmly saying to Alex, "General Stryker's wicked deeds, I and the X-Men will personally handle, and we will give you justice."
"Do you think I need your help?"
The gentleness on Alex's face gradually disappeared.
Professor Charles was momentarily speechless; he had indeed achieved what many extreme Mutants in the past could not.
However, this world was far larger than he could imagine.
At least this young man didn't realize he wasn't invincible; there were many more unimaginable existences in this world.
"No, you need to clear your name, you need to stand before everyone in the world and dispel the panic you've caused. You are only thirteen years old; you should be in school enjoying your campus life, not becoming a globally wanted fugitive running around."
Professor Charles tried to sway his resolve.
