Chapter 42 That Man
When Wayne was being surrounded by girls in his class, he suddenly felt that the air around him suddenly became hot and hot.
Turning around, he saw that the boy who was playing with fireballs in class summoned his little flame again. After attracting everyone's attention with the flame in his hand, he looked at Wayne with his peripheral vision and said:
"What's so strange about a pretty boy."
Glancing at the stick figure in front of him, Wayne lowered his head again. Could it be that such a perfect self had encountered the most vicious school bully in the legend?
Seeing Wayne's reaction, the boy increased the temperature of the flame, laughed and said:
"Look, only strength is what a man should pursue, not being a cowardly pretty boy."
Seeing the nearby classmates frowning, Bob stretched out his hands to the boy. A burst of ice visible to the naked eye spread rapidly in the air, quickly approaching and extinguishing the fire ball in the boy's hand.
"That's enough, John."
Looking at the ice balls falling to the ground and the angry John, Bob spoke.
"Humph."
After giving Bob a hard look, John turned and returned to his seat.
"Sorry, John's temper has always been like this."
Bob took the initiative to sit down next to Wayne and said to Wayne.
"It's okay. It's said in the book that ugly people tend to cause mischief. He just envied my super good looks."
Seeing the stickman sitting in his seat and constantly looking back at him, Wayne smiled and said.
The school's recess time was not long. Ten minutes later, Reina walked onto the podium again.
He looked at the pieces of broken ice on the ground near where Wayne was sitting and could vaguely see the shape of fireballs. A glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes. He smiled slightly and said below:
"It seems that everyone is getting along well with the new classmates. Next, we will explain the current situation of mutants in various countries."
"As we all know, except in China where mutants are treated equally, mutants in other countries are subject to various types of oppression..."
Listening to the boring knowledge on the podium, Wayne leaned sideways on the desk, supporting his head with his left hand, and secretly took out his mobile phone from his pocket with his other hand, relying on the desk to block the teacher's sight on the podium.
The hand holding the mobile phone tapped the screen a few times, found a book called The Encyclopedia of Pranksters, and started studying it carefully.
Although he was very generous on the surface, privately, Wayne would not let the arrogant match man go so easily.
Although he has offended himself, he must be able to convince others with virtue and use the knowledge he learned from books to educate him and let him know that knowledge is the foundation of power.
The day ended quickly. After dinner, Wayne and Little Fatty brought their new friend Liao to their room.
"Hey, Wayne, John's gonna give you some trouble."
Liao sat on the single sofa next to the bed with some frustration, feeling the pressure of the armrests on both sides of the sofa on his buttocks. He looked at Xianyu lying on the bed with some worry and said.
John's status in Xavier Academy for the Gifted is somewhat similar to that of Joseph in the orphanage.
Perhaps because John's ability is to control flames, his character is as violent as a ball of fire. He is also a person who pursues extreme power and likes to be in the limelight.
Today, Wayne's appearance suddenly attracted the attention of most of the girls in the class, which made John, who likes to be the center of attention, feel neglected.
Although it sounds silly, most teenagers aged sixteen or seventeen should have this mentality, especially when you have an ability that you think is cool.
"Hahaha, Liao, it's him who should be worried."
On the other side of the bed, the little fat man was looking at his mobile phone and couldn't help laughing when he heard Liao's words.
Ever since he was young, Fatty had never seen Wayne suffer a disadvantage from his peers.
Liao didn't know Wayne very well, but the little fat man knew Wayne's true strength. John's little flame did not pose any threat to Wayne at all.
"Liao, are there no physical education classes or courses to help you train your abilities in school?"
The motionless Xianyu finally turned over on the bed. Looking at Liao sitting on the sofa, Wayne felt a little sad for the sofa in his room.
Wayne has been thinking since he came back that since this is a school composed of mutants, it will definitely be different from ordinary schools. If only some situations and basic knowledge are explained every day, what will happen to these mutant children? What a help
"Well, this is possible. Teacher Storm will teach us how to control our abilities, and Teacher Cyclops will teach us how to use some abilities."
Having said this, Liao paused, thought for a moment and then continued:
"But since someone came here, the school sometimes organizes us to have some competitions. Of course, the competitions are divided into two types, one is the combat group and the other is the logistics group."
Interestingly, after a day, Wayne discovered that the students in the school had an almost crazy love for nicknames. It seemed that everyone wanted to give themselves a nickname.
And many times they call each other not by their own names, but by each other's nicknames.
For example, the Liao in front of me has a self-titled Big Eater, not the Fat Eater as Wayne said.
"learn."
After hearing Liao's answer, Wayne gained a new understanding of the school's education system. This is what a mutant school should look like.
The previous courses are all designed to allow students to better familiarize themselves with and control their own abilities, while the competition mentioned later can better enable mutants to apply what they have learned.
After all, abilities must be put to use in the end. Otherwise, no matter how powerful your abilities are, it will be in vain if you can't use them in practice.
So who proposed this competition? Since it was after coming here, it proves that this person is not from the school.
Wayne looked at Liao curiously and asked:
"Er Fatty, who is this person you are talking about?"
"Hey, you can call me Big Eater... let me see, the teachers seem to call him Wolverine"
After Liao Ming thought hard for a long time, he spit out a name from his mouth with some uncertainty.
Suddenly hearing the name from Liao's mouth, a light flashed in Wayne's lazy eyes.
"Wolverine."
Ignoring the two fat men's continued exchanges, Wayne muttered the familiar name in a low voice.
The first time I heard this name was when he was tortured by Francis. Later, Wayne specially dragged the little fat man to learn about this person in detail on the Internet.
It is said that he has the same self-healing ability as himself. Ever since the World War hundreds of years ago, his story has been circulating around the world.
"Why did he leave?"
The little fat man asked gossiping.
"Hehehe, it is said that he has helped the school a lot, but he has some differences with Teacher Cyclops. You know the specific reason..."
Mentioning these gossips, Liao suddenly laughed obscenely and gave the little fat man a "you know what" look.
After being stunned for two seconds, the little fat man suddenly realized that in addition to talking about food with him in class today, Liao also talked about a lot of school gossip.
At this moment, the player on the little fat man's cell phone suddenly turned on, and a singing voice came out:
"Expecting a good fortune and a shock
what a wonderful encounter
Over the top of the mountain and layers of white clouds ahead
Where is the green light. "
Rolling his eyes, Wayne asked Liao:
"Second Fatty, will he come back?"
Not bothering to correct Wayne on what he called himself, Liao said:
"He comes back every game."
Nodding silently, Wayne began to look forward to the academy competition.
