CHAPTER 44: Contacting Magneto

Xavier Institute.

Jean, who had just finished the last class, finished the class with her book in her arms and rubbed her temples vigorously.

"I wanted to know what Arthur and Gwen are doing now."

"I haven't seen them for just two days and I already miss them a little."

Since the last time she returned to the Xavier Institute to talk to Professor X, Professor X closed the Xavier School the next morning.

He told everyone not to go out for a while.

And during that time, she didn't see Professor X either.

Other members of the X-Men see this often, and most people don't care.

Because only at the Xavier Institute can they feel relative freedom.

Jean also knew that it was impossible to get Professor X to accept these ideas so soon.

This can only be done slowly.

After all, Professor X persisted for many years on another path.

Sighing, Jean continued walking towards the dormitory.

"Logan?"

Suddenly, he noticed that Logan was walking towards the building where the principal's office was located.

Generally, wherever Logan goes, it means Professor X is looking for him.

Jean followed with curiosity and, at the same time, hid using her powers to avoid being discovered by Professor X.

Soon she arrived at the door of the principal's office.

Logan got in.

Upon entering, Logan saw Professor X in front of the window.

He was looking out the window.

"Charles, why did you suddenly call me?"

"Logan, I'm curious who Jean was seeing. Can you tell me?"

Logan's face immediately became strange.

He had forgotten about that.

Or rather, he forced himself to forget.

"I don't know, you know what happened at that moment."

It was no surprise that Jean, standing outside the door, heard this.

Logan was at the door and she guessed why.

Otherwise, with Logan's withdrawn character, how could he appear in New York City?

(Professor X seems like you think I'm an idiot.)

"Logan, how about this?"

"Um?"

Logan looked at Professor X curiously, and Professor X continued, "I don't know what happened during this process."

"But I'm sure you should have seen Jean's friend."

"Then you just need to picture it in your head and I'll take a look."

Jean at the door suddenly became nervous.

If Professor X knows about Arthur, will it cause any problems for him?

No!

She can't let Professor X do this.

But before Jean opened the door and entered, a scene that shocked her even more happened.

Logan stretched out his Adamantium claws and said in a threatening tone, "Charles, I promise you."

"If you dare get into my head one more time, I will kill you..."

Logan swore only three people would know this.

There won't be a fourth person!

Even though Professor X is a gentleman, perhaps he looks at the image in his mind as he said.

Logan's attitude also surprised Professor X.

He's known Logan for a long time and this is the first time he's seen him react so strongly.

He could ignore Logan's thoughts and go straight to his head.

But Logan is a sidekick, after all, and Professor X also has his morals.

Otherwise, he would have been on Magneto's side a long time ago.

"All good."

Professor X breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Actually, I just want to know who this person is."

"I have to admit that his idea is perfect."

Logan removed his claws and asked Professor X, "Does it matter who it is?"

"Since Jean's idea is beneficial to the future of mutants, what you should think about is how to implement it."

"Instead of asking who is responsible."

"Charles, you fear death as you get older."

For some reason, Professor X saw disdain in Logan's eyes.

"Call me next time there's a battle."

After finishing speaking, Logan left the office with his back in a hurry.

Logan let out a sigh as he left the office.

"Luckily, I bluffed him."

If Professor X had insisted on watching now, Logan wouldn't have killed him.

They are all threatening lies.

After all, during those days when he lived at the Xavier Institute, he also considered it his home.

The members of the X-Men, including Professor X, are like family members.

After Logan left, Jean, who was hiding, also came out, looking in the direction of the principal's office.

Shaking her head, she decided to leave.

She didn't know what choice she would make if Professor X continued like this.

-----

Not long after.

Only then did Professor X completely remember: "I'm very old..."

He controlled his wheelchair and returned to the window, looking at the Xavier Institute he built with his own hands, and those children playing in the playground.

He had already discovered it.

If things continue like this, these children will only be able to live in the small Xavier Institute forever.

And that would be the best result.

As Jean said.

Either Magneto or he will end up leading mutants to ruin.

"It seems like it's time for us to stop this fighting..."

"Eric..."

Professor X raised a hand and placed it on his temple.

----

In some corners of the world.

An old man with white hair, but still in a good mood, was sitting at the table and playing chess.

Suddenly, he paused with his chess hand.

There was a voice in his mind that he wanted to hear, but he hated it.

'Hello, Charles."

'It's very rare that you take the initiative to find me.'

(Eric, after all these years, I finally understand that my way of doing things doesn't work.)

(Do you have time?)

(Come to my institute, let's sit face to face and talk.)

These words made Magneto jump off the bench, excited.

After so many years.

This old man finally knows that what I'm doing is right!

What are you doing being so peaceful?

Humans should be killed immediately!

'Wait, I'll find you right now...'

'Don't worry, it's been a long time since I played chess with you.'

Magneto simply flipped the board.

Professor X: "???"

Is this how you treat a request an old man makes?

'Wait for me in New York, I'll be there tonight...'

Throw some power stones at that poor soul...😩😩
