Chapter 18

"Persuade Veget?" Jean asked with some uncertainty.

Back then, because she was too young, she didn't know much.

But Jean saw that her best friend, her father, was dead and her mother was gone.

She could only watch Veget's heart-rending cries, but could not do anything. Until Vegette left her. Left X Academy completely.

But now it's different, Jean is no longer the little girl who couldn't control her abilities, but she was very easy to lose control.

Now she can initially grasp the power of the phoenix and can already help Veget. Why didn't the professor ask her to help Veget, but persuaded him? Advise him to tie his hands?

For the first time, Jean didn't understand Professor X.

"Yes, Vegett has not only returned, but has become very powerful, and we must advise him not to wantonly hurt others." Professor X explained to Jean.

"After what happened to Veget, I vowed never to give up any student again, but that incident has always become my heartache, but now it's different, Vegett is back, we can not only make up for the regrets of the year, but also create a better future." Professor X seems to have thought that Vegett and Jean inherit his philosophy of leading mutants to a better future. 

He believes that both Vegette and Jean can do better than him. 

However, Professor X did not realize that Vegett was no longer the Vegett he used to be.

Now Veget, after ten years of killing, will definitely no longer be as kind, gullible and respectful of life as he was at the beginning.

"Okay Professor, I'll advise Veget." Jean said a little sadly.

Sometimes, Jean didn't understand very much, with the strength of the professor, it was clear that if his attitude was tougher, unlike the current weakness, the situation of mutants would definitely be better than now.

After all, the organizations that persecuted mutants could try to organize Magneto, but it was difficult to target the defenseless Professor X.

However, the professor did not do that, but stuck to his own philosophy, regardless of countless suffering compatriots, and wanted to live in harmony with the forces that persecuted mutants.

Is this so possible? Those forces will only see the professor's concession as weakness and fear. And then start to move step by step.

There is nothing wrong with being nice to people, but it also depends on who you are! If they are wicked, they should show their weapons. Let him understand that he is not easy to mess with.

Sometimes, Jean kept thinking that if the professor's positions with Magneto were swapped, then the situation of mutants would definitely be much better.

After all, no matter how strong Magneto is, it is just destroying a city.

But professors can threaten all ordinary people on the planet. Those high-ranking officials are rich and noble, not afraid of Magneto, but afraid of Professor X, which is why, even if Professor X is kind to people, his level of security risks is still high.

Although Jean was a little puzzled by the professor's approach, none of this was important compared to seeing Vegette right away.

"This time, I'm going to protect Vegette no matter what, and I don't want to lose my only friend again." Jean secretly made up her mind in her heart. She must protect Vegette this time, even if it is an enemy of the professor. Although Jean subconsciously felt that the professor would definitely not make a move on Veget.

Although the professor had just said that Vegett had become stronger. But Vegett was only a second-level mutant after all, even if these years of experience made Vegett stronger, how strong could it be!

But she is different, she is one of the few omega-level mutants on Earth. You know, Professor X and Magneto are just alpha-level mutants.

The professor once said that if the power of the phoenix in the body of the piano completely exploded, even if he joined forces with Magneto, he would definitely not be the opponent of the piano.

But Jean has always been reluctant to use this power, and even repelled the power of the phoenix.

But for Veget's sake, Jean is willing to use this power.

Walking out of the professor's office full of anticipation, Jean was thrilled to see Vegett tomorrow. Even his face couldn't help but smile.

"Hey! Jean, is there anything fun? Scott, who was approaching, asked Jean.

Scott joined X Academy later than Jean and Veget, unlike Jean and Veget, who went to X Academy since childhood, Scott only awakened X ability when he was in high school. Came to Xavier Genius Youth Academy. (This is both true in the original.) ）

For this Scott, who has been approaching her intentionally or unintentionally since coming to X Academy, Jean naturally does not have much good impression.

Since Veget's disappearance that year, Jean has even closed her heart for a long time, which is why, until now, Jean has no second friend other than Veget.
