Chapter 47: Unbearable to Hear
"What secrets are hidden in this thing?" Lu Yifang held an exquisite jade slip in his hand, his eyes revealing a hint of inquiry.
"It contains research data on mutants, namely the genes of the X clan. Although it is not a lot, it may be of some benefit to you." Mr. X said, looking at Lu Yifang, with a deep smile on his face. "Since you have removed the core figures such as the White Queen and the Red Devil from the Brotherhood, and raised money from many sources, and recruited talented people in the genetics community, you have been wanting to study the genes of the X clan for a long time."
"That's right. This is indeed what I did recently." Lu Yifang said frankly without any intention of hiding anything.
There was no need to keep this matter secret from Mr. X. Even if Mr. X had not used his ability to find out out of curiosity, Lao Wan, on the other side, with his complicated relationship with Mr. X, would sooner or later speak frankly during a long conversation.
"Well done." Mr. X nodded in approval, his expression showing some relief. "You must have been wondering why we didn't get involved in the research of the X clan's genes in the past. It's understandable that Eric was hunted down, but since I have established a safe shelter, why have I never taken any action on this?"
"Indeed, I have had this doubt in my mind for a long time." Lu Yifang responded truthfully.
"There are many reasons." Mr. X's words showed a complex feeling. "The lag in technology is one reason, but it is not the main reason. In the past, Eric and I faced hostility from the court and mortals outside, and there were extreme mutant-rejecting forces such as the Hellfire Club inside. Later, integrating the power of mutants consumed a lot of our energy.
It was in this environment that Henry was uneasy and hesitant when conducting this kind of research, because he did not know whether his research results would benefit mutants or be used by others to fight mutants. "
"I fully understand this situation. The limitations of the times are often like this." Lu Yifang nodded in understanding.
"On the one hand, I'm not telling you this today to shirk the responsibility of the previous generation, but to tell you." Mr. X's face turned serious. "The world is in chaos today. The future may be the most terrifying era, or the most favorable era for mutants. At this moment, this era belongs to you. Do you understand?"
"Of course I understand. If mutants like us miss out on this transformation and reshuffle, the technological boom in the future interstellar era may make it impossible for mutants to recover." Lu Yifang responded solemnly, and the jade slip held tightly in his hand also tightened.
"But you don't have to be too anxious." Mr. X smiled and patted Lu Yifang on the shoulder. "We are still young and can accompany you for many more years."
"You have done your best during this period. As for the search for Revelation, it will be temporarily handed over to Henry and Eric's brotherhood. You just need to wait for good news."
"I will follow your instructions." After hearing this, Lu Yifang nodded in agreement. With the help of Mr. X and Magneto, the task of finding Apocalypse would undoubtedly be much easier.
In the next few days, the legendary figure who was often on missions outside and was only heard of but never seen in person in school - the president of the student union finally returned to the classroom.
It is said that on the first day of his return to school, students from other classrooms skipped classes and crowded the windowsills, just to catch a glimpse of this most special legendary mutant student in the history of the academy.
It is said that on the day he returned to the academy, the president of the Lionheart Club, who had led half of the students to quit the Student Union and set up a new club to compete with the Student Union, had to kneel down and call the Student Union president his brother.
It is said that the girlfriend of another president who founded the Lionheart Club was once in love with the student union president, but she was unfaithful to his will and eventually turned to the president's arms.
"Oh my, is this explosive news credible? It actually involves a love triangle."
"What is a love triangle? Don't forget Katie, the vice president of the Student Union. This is undoubtedly a waste of learning."
"You are talking nonsense. I am a member of the Lionheart Society. The rumors about the president of the Lionheart Society are ridiculous. I have irrefutable evidence in my hands... Do you want to see the secret notes of the two presidents?"
"You are all whispering here, talking about things that are unbearable to the ear. There is also a scum of the Lionheart Society who brought a secret notebook to slander the two presidents. I finally caught you today. Who ordered you to act like this? Don't even think about escaping. Once you are captured by me, I will hand you over to the Lionheart Society for punishment. Then I can use this vacancy to join the Lionheart Society, ha!"
"The emotional entanglements of the seniors are so complicated that the new first-year students can only tremble in fear."
As a person involved in the rumors, Lu Yifang did not have much emotion about the various rumors circulating on and off campus. Even though he was more than ten steps away, the ordinary students would be in awe when they saw him and kept silent.
Perhaps his actions outside leaked some information to the college, or perhaps the active performance of Katie and others on campus played a role in highlighting the situation. In short, he, who jokingly called himself the president of the student union, has unknowingly been regarded as sacred and inviolable by everyone.
After walking around the campus, Lu Fangfang felt the huge changes in the college. The previous incident of Stryker had caused a lot of uproar, forcing Ao Guanhai to put aside his pride and have a serious talk with Mr. X.
The result of the talks was that the Mutant Academy was able to exist in a more legitimate form. At least now the academy's official website has publicly declared itself as a Mutant Academy and has begun to recruit students from all over the society.
The world is becoming more and more chaotic, and precisely because the world is in chaos, people's eyes are no longer focused on mutants as before. The shift in public focus has also allowed the mutant community to gain more living space.
It is for this reason that more and more young mutants are pouring into the academy, making the Mutant Academy continue to expand. The Student Union and Lionheart Club founded by Katie and John Bobby, as well as the recently introduced credit system, can all be
