Chapter 369 Our Future
Of course, the thoughts in Katie's heart became stronger and stronger, after the vague outline was continuously perfected in her mind. She walked to the center of the common room, where she stood in front of all the students.
She felt she needed to say something, she needed to do something. Although she seemed a little immature when speaking to so many people at the beginning, she stammered a bit: "Big~everyone, listen to me!"
She patted her cheek, allowing her somewhat stiff tongue to speak the words she wanted flexibly: "Please listen to me!"
The students who were originally in the common room involuntarily turned their gazes to the place where the sound came from. The direction Katie is in.
There are not many students in the mutant school, when the number is the largest, there are only more than 500 students, when the number is small, there are only more than 300 students, and the number of students in the upper grades is the least. So many senior students know each other, even if they are not in the same class.
So Katie is a girl everyone knows. Because she is the girl who laughs the most in school, and she is very beautiful, and she also likes to draw. In fact, apart from Daken, there are many other male students who are secretly in love with her.
Everyone looked at Katie, wondering what she wanted to do. But at least she broke the gloomy atmosphere just now. Everyone at least turned their attention away from grieving alone.
"Breathe~ breathe!" Katie reminded herself deep inside. She needed a deep breath to relieve her nervousness, the first time she was speaking in front of so many people, and at the same time, the absurd and childish thought in her heart. She didn't know if what she said was right, but she felt that she needed to try, even if she didn't succeed, at least she wouldn't regret it after trying.
"I know what the current situation in the school is for!" Katie's words shocked all the students, and they were eager to know what caused the current situation.
Katie suppressed the tension and excitement in her heart, and said the news she had just received from Nightcrawler in a calm tone as much as possible: "It's all because of Magneto..."
Although Katie's narration was in-depth, she told her classmates completely what the night walker told her. When they heard that the whole thing was Magneto's trap, someone finally couldn't sit still.
"How could he do this! He framed the professor like this, and made us lose our school. Our classmates, our friends! And I will also be homeless!" Little Rascal couldn't help himself. She is a mutant with the ability to absorb, and her powers are dangerous.
Because she can absorb and release the vitality of others, and recently her abilities have begun to mutate in a more bizarre direction under the teaching of the school. She seems to be able to absorb the abilities of mutants and release them.
This dangerousness of the little rascal makes her almost unacceptable in human society. Even in mutant school, she has to wear special gloves to avoid inadvertent skin contact with others. But even so, the mutant school is still her favorite place. Because the teachers here are not afraid of her, nor discriminate against her.
They told Rascal that this was not a disease, but a mutant ability. All the little rascal needs to do is learn how to control it and not let this ability hurt others.
For the love of the school, all the students present are no exception except the little naughty. The older students understand what this school means to them. Because they are old enough and smart enough. Know how to tell right from wrong.
The condemnation of Magneto began among the students, and everyone hated Magneto. Because he destroyed everyone's peaceful life. Some students even said not to leave the school, but to stay and fight side by side with the teacher. Fight against Magneto to the end.
And this idea was quickly recognized by other students. In an instant, this group of outraged young people seemed to form an alliance. They know how powerful they are, and the school taught them how to use their power. They believe they can do great things.
"Quiet! Quiet!" Katie looked at the frenzied state and yelled twice: "You all sit down for me! Listen to me!"
At this moment, Katie seemed to be possessed by a Valkyrie, and suddenly became very powerful and shouted at all the students. "These methods of yours are useless at all. Now that things have developed to this point, even if you kill Magneto, can the school be restored!"
This sentence instantly poured cold water on everyone. Yes, even if Magneto is dead, he has successfully provoked the human government's hatred of mutants. What follows is an endless situation. In this way, the school still cannot be kept. It is impossible to return to the original peaceful life.
After thinking about these things, several girls among the students below were already crying.
"Then what can we do? Watching Magneto do this, watching all the professor's hard work being destroyed. It is the professor who built a home for us, a home that belongs to us. We must do something!" Bing Man Bob felt he could do something. He is an alpha-level mutant, especially after he went to the North Pole with Nightcrawler and others last time, his abilities have grown even more.
Katie looked at the excited Iceman and said, "You're right Bob, the professor built a home for us, he gave us a protective umbrella. But I didn't realize it until today, or Something we didn't realize."
Katie looked around at all the students present. Her utterance became more and more fluent now, and her thoughts became clearer: "The person who protects us mutants is already old!"
"We have been growing and learning under his care. He protects us like a giant pillar supporting the world. These things make us forget about it. The professor is already an 80-year-old man." Kai Dee said these words softly, and the whole scene was silent.
Professor X Charles Xavier was born around the time of World War II, and now it has been 72 years since World War II ended. This seemingly hale and hearty gentleman is already an unscrupulous old man.
Just because of his spirit, his abilities make him not look as old as his grade.
"My grandfather had been retired for 20 years when he was teaching such a senior grade. Every day he just went to the park to play chess with others, and occasionally cooked for me and my parents as guests." Katie's words hit people's hearts.
"However, Professor Charles is already at this age, but he is still busy every day. He has dedicated his whole life to the cause of mutants, and he has dedicated his whole life to me and everyone present, mutants like us child!"
"No matter how long an umbrella lasts, there will always be a day of decay. The professor is old." When Katie said that the professor was old, the audience fell silent.
This is something that all the students present have never thought of. Maybe it's something they never dared to think about in their hearts. Because of the fusion of the X gene, mutants with a higher degree of fusion, such as Alpha and Beta, will have a longer lifespan.
But that doesn't change the fact that the professor is really old. Katie looked at the quiet classmates and continued: "The professor has done enough for us, he should rest. Just like my grandfather, he has worked hard all his life. I hope that the professor will not struggle every day in the future. Yes. He should be like a normal person, have time to play chess with others, or to play the game he likes. Maybe he can go to the old people's reception and find a suitable life partner."
Katie's last words elicited roars of laughter from everyone. She interprets Professor X in another way from her unique female perspective. Perhaps in the eyes of this gentle and strong girl, Professor X is not a superhero, but just an elderly and kind elder.
Katie continued with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "The professor is old, and Magneto is also old. Magneto's ideas are out of date. He is even older than the professor's grade. To be rude, he already has one foot. Step into the coffin! Why does a dying person interfere with the lives of us living people!"
Katie waved her little fist vigorously: "Perhaps the professor and Magneto don't really realize that their time has passed!"
At this moment, Katie's thoughts subverted the ideas in the hearts of many students. They exchanged eyes with each other, and found that the eyes of the other party were also the same as their own, and they were full of incredible eyes.
"And we are the future of mutants! We are younger, and our time is longer. Only we can choose what path we should take! The future of mutants should be chosen by young people, not two Old people! Because they may not even understand what the life we want is like!" Katie's speech became more and more fluent, and she wanted to pour out her thoughts.
"So what exactly do you want? Katie." Bob looked at Katie with disbelief in his eyes. The little rascal next to him looked at Katie, but his eyes were full of approval and even admiration.
"A thought that may be a little immature, maybe a little absurd. I'm not sure if it can be implemented, but I want to give it a try." Katie hesitated, but she still said it.
"I think we should build a country! A country of real mutants! It's not the radical idea that mutants rule over ordinary people, or ordinary people rule over mutants! What we need is a platform for equal dialogue. Speak with governments on an equal footing!" Katie's eyes were full of hope.
"Only when we stand on the same level as them, will they be willing to listen to what we have to say. In this country, we welcome mutants to immigrate, and those mutants who are discriminated against in human society will have a place to go. In my opinion, this will be A scaled-up version of Xavier School for the Gifted, we scaled it up into a country!"
"We should love peace, but we should not be afraid of war. We shouldn't take the initiative to cause trouble, but we shouldn't be afraid of trouble! If the Jews can build Israel, why can't mutants build their own New Eden!"
"My ideas are still very immature, and I don't even know how to make a political system. But I am willing to try, and I hope to contact those partners outside. Those mutants are peaceful and neutral. I think they may Convinced by my ideas." Speaking here, Katie smiled shyly, she was not sure if she was really sure.
"Of course there is a great possibility that my plan will fail. But I want to give it a try, at least I won't regret it after doing so. Now I want to ask everyone here, who is like-minded with me. Let We use the voices of young mutants to express our own attitude towards the future! This time, the future of mutants should not be decided by a few people!"
After Katie finished speaking firmly, she slowly raised her right hand and clenched it into a fist in mid-air.
The students off the court exchanged glances with each other, and slowly the first fist was raised, followed by the second, and the third, and more and more students began to raise their hands in the air.
Little Rascal raised his fist. Iceman Bob raised his fist. Then all the students present raised their fists. This time all fist raisers are companions!
With tears in Katie's eyes, she tried not to let her tears fall, and her voice trembled: "Our future should be determined by ourselves!"
At this moment today, maybe Magneto, Professor X didn't think about it, and Li Jie didn't think about it either. Katie explained the development direction of mutants with her own female perspective and unique charm.
And this sentence: Our future will be determined by ourselves! From then on, it will be delivered to every corner of the world!
