"Xavier's Academy needs both elites and fighters?" Magneto was startled. Lynn's straightforward approach made him suddenly realize that there might not be a conspiracy against Charles, nor any hidden tricks.

"X Academy needs both elites and fighters?" Magneto was startled.

Magneto was startled. Lynn's straightforward approach made him suddenly realize that there might not be a conspiracy against Charles, nor any hidden tricks.

Lynn's presence here is simply an invitation for them to contribute to the future of Xavier's Academy and the future of mutants. That's all. With this in mind, Magneto's mindset quietly returned to calm.

The young man in front of him is clearly dedicated to saving the future of mutants, but his ideas and methods differ from those of himself and Charles. He didn't know what method to use, but he had already convinced Charles. Now... it seems that he still wants to convince Magneto?

"You want me to join your plan?" As expected of Magneto, when he truly calmed down, he immediately displayed a vicious and precise vision.

Finally, a sense of relief flashed across Lynn's eyes. This aligns with the image of Magneto in his mind. The person from before was nothing more than a foolish old man who had been imprisoned for too long and had lost touch with the outside world.

He stared at Magneto with fervent eyes, emphasizing once again, "Xavier's Academy needs talents like you!"

While speaking, he waved his left hand lightly, causing the magical flames filling the space, the earth locks trapping Mystique, and the sun vines binding Magneto to disappear without a trace.

Rumble! Without the support of the vine umbrella, the building continued to collapse. Countless stones and broken wood fell on their heads, but when they landed on top of the three individuals, they suddenly transformed into flowing water, like thousands of raindrops pouring down.

Magneto and Mystique trembled again and instinctively raised their arms to shield themselves from the rainstorm, only to realize that there was no rain touching their bodies. All the rain seemed to deliberately avoid their location. This scene undoubtedly had a visually striking impact.

"Eric..." Mystique couldn't help but look at Magneto and discovered that, after following the leader for decades, she no longer had any intention of fighting back or fleeing after breaking free from her restraints.

The old man simply gazed straight at Lynn. "Aren't you going to use force?"

"I never intended to resort to force against each other, just like when you were an enemy of the X-Men, you never went for the kill," Lynn smiled.

Although he was young, he exuded a sense of arrogance. "Because you and I both know that unless there is animosity between mutants, there's really no need to fight to the death."

These words, spoken by a young man, seemed highly not matching his age. However, Magneto and Mystique found nothing amiss upon hearing them.

The latter inexplicably fell into a trance. She actually sensed an aura in Lynn's presence—the aura of a leader. She had observed this kind of aura in Charles and even in Magneto. However, compared to the young man before her, it now seemed... somewhat insignificant.

"You want Xavier's Academy to openly recruit students and present itself to the world in a transparent manner, and then what?" Mystique suddenly interrupted, speaking directly without beating around the bush.

"Do you want to train more X-Men and use the method of combating mutant crimes to win favor with humans in exchange for peace? Or do you intend to rely on the academy to train an elite army of mutants and eventually wage war against humans?"

Magneto was slightly taken aback. Soon after, a complex expression surfaced. After decades of like-mindedness, no one knew Mystique's character better than him. In order to change the situation for mutants, this woman would spare no expense and employ any means necessary. Among mutants, she was a rare ruthless individual.

Her sudden outburst undoubtedly meant... she was intrigued.

Perhaps it was the overwhelming strength displayed by Lynn that convinced her, or perhaps it was because during this period, Lynn's achievements seemed more effective than their own efforts over the past few decades. Regardless, this woman was now seriously considering Lynn's invitation!

"Yes, young man, I would also like to know..." Magneto sighed inwardly, refraining from saying too much as he gazed at Lynn in the same manner. "Even if you manage to make the entire world recognize the existence of Xavier's Academy, so what? It's still just a school"

"You're mistaken, Mr. Magneto!" Lynn's tone suddenly intensified, his eyes filled with determination and depth. "Actually, neither you nor Professor Charles realized the true value of the Academy because... you made a fatal mistake from the very beginning. Due to this mistake, the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants will never succeed"

This statement was brimming with confidence, captivating the attention of Magneto and Mystique. "What mistake?" they asked.

"The greatest wealth of mutants has never been their superpowers" Lynn eloquently explained, presenting a perspective completely different from that of other mutants.

"Professor Charles trained the X-Men, with members consisting of alpha-level and beta-level mutants, and the mutants under your command, at most, include more gamma-level mutants..."

"You... perhaps you haven't realized it... but you've been evaluating mutants solely based on the strength of their superpowers. However, you have overlooked that there has always been a small number of mutants at the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma levels"

"The mutant population is not large, and you've been relying on a very small fraction of it. How can you compete with the vast number of humans? How can you reverse the plight of mutants?"

Just like when he faced Professor X last time, Magneto was stunned by this revelation.

It was an angle he had never considered. But now, coming from Lynn, it didn't seem unreasonable!

"What do you mean?" While Magneto was still in shock, Mystique couldn't contain her curiosity and eagerly inquired.

"It means that the Delta class, which constitutes the largest number of mutants—50% of the mutant population—is the true backbone of mutants" Lynn's words were powerful and resounding. "Delta-level mutants possess weak superpowers and are not suited for combat, but their physical capabilities far surpass those of ordinary people. Many of them have awakened abilities related to enhanced brain development..."

"Setting aside the fact that they are mutants, do you know how such individuals are regarded in human society?"

"Elites"

These two words exploded like bombs in the hearts of Magneto and Mystique.

"And human society has always been an elite society. The elites control power, wealth, resources, public opinion... everything"

"Therefore, if mutants truly want to reverse their plight and harness the potential of delta-level mutants, it would be far more effective than establishing the X-Men or the Brotherhood of Mutants to please or wage war against humans..."

"The open enrollment of Xavier's Academy is targeting this group of individuals. In the future, delta-level mutants will become the true backbone of the mutant group"

"When they graduate from X Academy and disperse into human society... Can you imagine what will happen?"

Neither Magneto nor Mystique answered this question.

They had involuntarily started to envision the picture painted by Lynn. And... they were astounded. There was no other way; the impact on their worldview was simply too immense.
