…
Ororo’s expression softened when she saw Hawking and his siblings. She smiled and greeted them.
“Welcome to Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, I believe you will love it here.”
She then followed Professor X’s instructions to gather the faculties.
Hawking recognized the woman by her name and appearance.
“She was Storm, a top Level 3 mutant that could control local weather, as well as summon lightning, wind, and ice attacks.”
There are five levels of mutants, with level one being the lowest and level five being the highest.
The potential level of a mutant was innate, but not all of them could unleash and control their full power from the get go. Hence, they would need to develop their abilities slowly.
For example, a Level 2 and Level 3 mutants might exhibit the same level of power, but after training and development, only the Level 3 mutant would be able to grow even further.
This doesn’t mean that low-level mutants cannot defeat high-level mutants.
Many aspects must be considered, from ability types, mental fortitude, and personal combat experience.
A level 3 support mutant would be at disadvantage against level 2 offer dive mutant. A level 3 mutant that lived their whole life as office worker may not be able to defeat a level 2 combat veteran, even if they have similar abilities.
“Piotr, take these little guys to find a room. Get them familiar with the school.
After Ororo left, Professor X called a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old and handed the three siblings to him.
The school building has seven floors. Except for some rooms that have been converted into classrooms and special-purpose rooms, all other rooms were residential area.
Because the mutant school only recruited young mutants, there were not many people In the entire school, only thirty-four including all the professors.
Even with the luxury of one room per person, there are still many empty rooms.
Mutants that graduated from the school could freely choose to return to human society, join the school as a teacher, or join the X-Men protection force.
Professor X had told them this on the way here.
“Piotr, what is your ability?”
Piotr seemed to have a good temper, so as he took them on a tour to pick their rooms, Hawking took the opportunity to chat with him.
He had seen the X-Men movies, but it was long time ago. Only vague memories about the plot remained, no details.
For example, he knew the female teacher just now was called Storm, but he never knew the name “Ororo.”
Of course, he remembered the famous ones like Professor X, Magneto, Wolverine, and Phoenix.
“Me, I can transform my body into a material similar to steel, giving me increased strength and defense capabilities.”
Piotr smiled and activated his ability, and his entire body immediately turned into a silver color similar to steel.
“Oh, that’s so cool!”
Little Pietro’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help but touch it. Little Wanda, who was holding one of Hawking’s arms next to her, also poked her head out of curiosity.
“Actually, my dream is to become an artist like Picasso. When I have time, I can paint a portrait for you.”
Piotr didn’t mind little Pietro poking around and said with a smile.
“Oh, so he’s Colossus.”
Hawking looked Piotr up and down and paused for two seconds.
The toughest man among mutants!
“You can just take these three rooms, they’re connected together!”
After confirming the room, putting down their luggage and sorting it out, the three of them walked around the school, guided by Colossus.
There were classrooms, laboratories, canteens, gardens, swimming pools, basketball courts, football fields, and even horses in stables. Hawking can only keep sighing that the school is really rich.
Meanwhile, in the principal’s office, there was an emergency meeting between the faculties.
“This mutant attack on the president, there’s no doubt. It must be Magneto!”
Cyclops Scott accused.
The red-haired Jean next to him shook her head:
“I don’t think so.”
“Eric might have the ability to pull it off even from the prison, it still makes no sense.
“This attack would only harm his plans for mutant supremacy!”
Professor X agreed with Jean.
Storm chimed in:
“It’s just perfect! Those government are going to bring up the mutant registration bill again.”
If we want to know what happened, we have to find the mutant who attacked the president.
“Jean, Ororo, you two go and get them.
“Scott and I are going to the jail to talk to Eric.”
Professor X made his decision.
…
In the evening, in the school cafeteria.
“Can we eat all we want here?”
Hawking’s eyes began to light up as he looked at the students lining up for their meals.
Colossus smiled and nodded.
“Of course, all the food, drinks and daily necessities in the school are free. You can eat as much as you want.”
He had no idea about the serious ramification of his words.
“Come on, let’s get in line.”
“No need to rush, you can take Wanda and Pietro to line up first. I will wait until after everyone had finished eating.”
Hawking waved his hand.
“No need to do that, there is enough food in the cafeteria, and our chef, Mr. Yugo, has the ability to quickly process all the ingredients into food.
“He would always have enough food in storage to feed all of us for three days, so there won’t be any shortage.”
Colossus knew that Hawking and the other two came from war-torn Sokovia, and thought that Hawking’s consideration was because of the food shortage there.
In addition to professors and students, the mutant school also has many staff members.
All of these staff members are mutants and are former graduates of the school.
Most of them have support type abilities, and only level 1 or 2 at that, so they basically had no combat effectiveness. They had stayed to work at the school because they cannot integrate with the human world after graduating.
Chefs who cook, gardeners who prune flowers and plants, maids who clean and tidy up the room, maintenance workers of various equipment, etc.
Anyway, Professor X had no shortage of money, so they got paid quite well.
“You don’t know, Hawking is a big bad wolf who can eat a lot. He can eat an entire table in one meal!”
Little Wanda stretched out her hand and made a gesture.
Hawking huffed and began to scratch her belly:
“If I’m the big bad wolf, then you’d be the little red riding hood. I can eat you in a single bite!”
Little Wanda giggled.
Little Pietro said with a serious face to Colossus:
“I’m telling you, Hawking has a black hole in his stomach. I have never seen him full. Maybe this is his mutant ability.”
“Oh, you poor children. Come on, it’s okay. Eat as much as you can.”
When the kind-hearted Colossus heard that Hawking had never had a full stomach, he felt sympathy for him again and immediately pulled the three of them to line up.
