Marvel: Silver Superman in Mutant Academy

On the eve of the third X-Men battle, Carl West, a new student at the Mutant Academy, found himself somewhat unsettled. He was keenly aware of the perilous nature of their world. With Magneto's perpetual mischief-making and the looming threats of alien invasions and malevolent Celestials, danger seemed to lurk around every corner. The sinister Sentinel program, devised to eradicate all mutants, had already been set into motion. Meanwhile, neighboring dimensions harbored beings like Dormammu, poised for invasion. And looming on the horizon was Thanos, with his ambitions to enact universal "family planning." Despite the presence of stalwart heroes such as the Hulk and Iron Man, poised to defend the world, the specter of global conflict still promised untold casualties. "So, I suppose I'll have a think about it once I'm transformed into a Silver Superman," Carl remarked casually, reclining on the academy grounds and soaking in the comforting warmth of the sun, having recently assimilated the template of a Superman. ******** *THIS IS A TRANSLATION* Marvel: Silver Superman, Starts with Mutant Academy 美漫:白银大超,变种人学院开始 This is a translation of Chinese Novel. *********** The cover photo is not mine.

Chapter 47 : Mental Shield!!

As Carl prepared to rise and seek out Professor X, a sudden system prompt echoed in his mind.

[The task's release condition has been detected, and the task is now activated.]

[Please, host, rescue Cyclops who is currently en route to Alkali Lake from the resurrected Jean Grey. The reward for completing the task is 2 Origin Point.]

[Do you wish to begin the task? Yes/No.]

Carl's eyes sparked with determination. "If Cyclops hasn't reached Alkali Lake yet, there's still hope."

Originally intending to attempt a rescue of Scott, Carl was surprised to receive a directive from the system itself.

Without hesitation, Carl's form flickered, his speed reaching 200 meters per second, as he sprinted towards the office building, the entrance to the underground base, on the gust of wind.

Roar!!

In the corridor, a mutant student felt a blur as a dark figure passed by, followed by a gust of wind that tousled his hair.

"What's going on over there?"

In the distance, Storm, engaged in play with two mutant children on the lawn, lifted her head, puzzled by the sudden commotion.

Meanwhile, in the medical area of the underground base, Professor X, confined to a wheelchair, conversed with a doctor in a white coat, discussing treatment strategies for the mutant children rescued the previous day, each of whom suffered severe injuries requiring extensive recovery.

Suddenly, the ground trembled, and Carl, accompanied by a rush of wind, materialized before them, his expression urgent. "Professor, we must act swiftly. Mr. Scott is in danger."

Professor X's demeanor shifted instantly. "What's happened, Carl?"

The doctor, too, appeared perplexed. Wasn't Scott away yesterday?

Taking a deep breath, Carl's feigned anxiety softened slightly as he spoke gravely. "Professor, I've just learned from other faculty members that Mr. Scott left yesterday."

"And he headed for Lake Alkali."

"Yes," Professor X affirmed, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.

Moments earlier, sensing Carl's urgency, he had attempted to probe his mind telepathically to discern the cause promptly. Yet, to his astonishment, his telepathic intrusion was repelled by an unseen force, a peculiar resistance emanating from Carl's own psychic energy, strangely resilient despite its apparent weakness.

Could this be Carl's psychic prowess? Not a typical telepathic ability, but undeniably unique.

Simultaneously, as Professor X's telepathy probed, Carl also sensed a peculiar sensation, accompanied by a system prompt echoing in his mind.

[Discover the psychic power from Professor X, according to the information shielding rule, exempt from invasion.]

Carl maintained a composed expression as he spoke solemnly, "Yesterday, while perusing some internal school materials, I stumbled upon details concerning the relationship between Jean Grey and Teacher Scott."

"The two share an emotional bond and serve as complements to each other's abilities."

"Considering your earlier remarks, Professor, regarding Mr. Scott's unique energy aiding Jean Grey's mental stability..."

"I delved into Jean Grey's profile and discovered her tragic demise three years ago, sacrificing herself during the Alkali flood to save others."

At the mention of Jean's sacrifice, a shadow crossed the professor's face.

"However, your assessment of Jean Grey, Professor, lauds her as the strongest Mutant with true Omega potential, indicating limitless abilities."

"How could such a formidable Mutant perish in a mere flood?"

"Even if she pushed beyond her limits to save others, I find it hard to believe she would die."

"She may have been gravely injured, but I doubt she perished."

"Professor, you've noted a potential power within Jean Grey that could be overwhelming if unchecked."

"Her last confrontation three years ago confirmed this."

"If my speculation holds, Jean Grey, currently submerged and weakened at the lake's bottom, urgently needs energy to recover."

"If Teacher Scott were to appear and awaken her instincts..."

These thoughts had been carefully crafted by Carl on his journey.

After all, he couldn't directly inform Professor X that Scott was in danger of being consumed by Jean Grey.

However, aside from his latter speculation, Carl hadn't lied. The information regarding Jean Grey and Scott, including their symbiotic relationship, was indeed gleaned from the school's internal records.

His deductions seemed to resonate with Professor X, who nodded thoughtfully. "Your inference, Carl, is logical."

"We may have overlooked Jean's potential; she might not be deceased."

After a moment of contemplation, Professor X continued, "Scott left yesterday morning on his motorcycle. Lake Alkali is over 2,300 kilometers away."

"Given the timeframe, he shouldn't have arrived yet. There's still time."

A hint of relief flickered across Professor X's face. "Regardless, as a precaution, Carl, you and Logan will head to Lake Alkali immediately."

"Understood, Professor."

Despite Carl's speculative nature, Professor X made a decisive call to prevent Scott from encountering any mishaps.

Shortly after, the ground trembled, causing cracks to form on the lawn adjacent to the dormitory building.

Amidst the astonished, intrigued, and excited gazes of numerous mutant students, a sleek black fighter plane with a wingspan of over 20 meters gracefully ascended into the air.

Engines roaring, flames billowing from its tail, it vanished into the sky, leaving the onlookers in awe.
