Chapter Eighty-seven(87)

"What's going on?" I asked when I saw the group of people who were walking down the hallway, leading them were two women, one blonde and the other, had weird green-ish hair.

"Shit!.... Is he real?" I heard one of the people in the group whisper amongst the many silent chatters that immediately began.

"Oh and this is, his highness, James Smith, you will be seeing a lot of him around here, James these are our new students from Winchester, New York" the blonde woman introduced.

"Oh….. oh!, You guys are Xavier's students, nice to meet you all, I hope you all find it comfortable here, Emma a word please" I said immediately making up a small speech at this weird situation.

"It's really him, I can't wait to tell my family that I met someone from a royal family" I heard someone in the small crowd whisper somewhat excitedly

*Smack* "they're dead, dumbass" I heard someone beside him slap his head,

Choosing to ignore what I just heard, I turned to the blonde woman who was standing in front of me. Yes, you probably already got it, the perfect teacher/principal of this school is Emma Frost. I chose her because of the simple reason that she loves teaching and two, she is stated to be an excellent educator in the comics as well as the databooks.

Finding her wasn't hard, it was realigning her twisted psyche to my goals. She loved teaching and was good-ish at it but she was a woman who had no problems putting her students in danger so before I could accept her as the principal, I had to put her through several months of therapy to help her get over all the mess she has put herself through, from her relationship with her father/family to her messed up relationship with Sabastian Shaw and now she was better.

"I don't understand, why are they here?" I asked

"Xavier enrolled his students here saying that it's safer here, I accepted them after all they are still students and we also get free teachers. Example Sage, she seems like an excellent teacher"

"They've had another attack, haven't they?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if they have, The Hellfire Club has been against them for years before your intervention and we were just a small part of the vast enemies, the X-men had" Emma answered

"I guess we are doing this then, just send them to the med bay later to get treated if needed, Maya and her team are overjoyed whenever someone uses that thing"

"Was about to do that" Emma confirmed then turned to the group

"I welcome you all to Elysium's School for the gifted, don't worry we're still working on the name, I wish you all well and hope you enjoy your time here, see ya" I said then waved and left

I couldn't recognize most of the mutants in the group…. Well except Sage but even she was only recognized by her hair which should honestly be common amongst mutants considering their random mutations. The rest however were completely unrecognizable mostly because they have only existed as comic characters to me but despite that I know for sure that none of the main X-Men team members are here except Sage meaning they all chose to stay back but none of that isn't business since it had nothing to do with Elysium.

Leaving the group, I went straight to my room to get some rest and maybe watch or play some games. Running a nation like Elysium was easy but it is still a nation at the end of the day.

Change POV

In an unknown location, a man could be seen walking down a dark hallway as he passed by many people held within cages like prisoners who all seemed to have lost all hope in life. The man continued walking until he made it to the end of the corridor where a door could be seen.

Entering the door, the man immediately spotted several other people standing around in the room, each performing a certain task. Directly facing him however was an unconscious man strapped to a chair.

"Wake him up" the man said in a weird Russian accent and one of the men in the room immediately picked up a bucket filled with water which he poured directly on the face of the unconscious man

*Cough Cough*

The man coughed and huffed to catch his breath and also eliminate any water that may have gotten into his nose but no one in the room even bothered to help him

"Give me the book" The man said and immediately the once unconscious man started thrashing about in his chair, tearing the straps placed on him, they were extremely tiny tears but still tears nonetheless

"Noo!!!... Stop!! Don't do this!" The man shouted as he thrashed about in his chair but none of them moved or even flinched as though he could affect them in anyway

"Longing" The man read out from the book handed to him

"Mmm" he groaned as he strained to free himself

"Rusted" the man continued and the more he read, the more the man in the chair screamed as though to drown the sound of the man's reading

"Furnace"

"Daybreak"
