Chapter 223 Meeting an Old Friend

In the neon-lit city night, a girl in a black tights walked through it.

She was petite, wrapped in a special uniform, with long hair hanging down her shoulders, and a bit of childishness between her eyebrows, looking like she was not very old.

While walking through the high-rise buildings, the girl scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, keeping a close eye on everything around her.

Suddenly, when the girl passed by a street lamp sign, a metal claw suddenly jumped out of the sign!

Under the neon light, the metal claw reflected the colorful light, which was extremely gorgeous, but extremely deadly.

It penetrated the sign and went straight to the girl's heart!

But the girl was not in a hurry. She seemed to have discovered the claw a long time ago. She twisted her body nimbly to the side and avoided the claw that was stabbing straight at her.

Then her body suddenly jumped up and jumped to the high-rise building on the other side.

The owner of the claw followed closely, and the sharp steel claw stabbed the girl's back again.

This time the girl did not dodge. She turned around and met the attacker who was chasing her. At the same time, she swung her hands to both sides, and almost the same steel claws popped out from between the girl's fingers.

Those were almost the same claws that attacked her just now, but the difference was that the attacker's claws, which were like sharp knives, had three claws on each palm.

The girl only had two.

But the difference in quantity did not seem to be a big problem. The girl who popped out the claws and the burly man with three claws collided with each other.

The two people who collided had a bloody fight in an instant.

Their steel claws pierced each other's bodies, and blood and shouts rang out on the rooftop, making this place a very bloody special battlefield.

Just when the two were fighting hard, a voice helplessly interrupted:

"Stop... Stop, Laura! Forget it... Turn off the simulation!"

As the voice fell, the body of the strong man fighting with the girl stopped, and then his whole body, along with the surrounding high-rise buildings, turned into data particles and slowly disappeared.

The space turned into a pure white dome square. In the center of the square, the girl who was fighting with the strong man was shaking her neck in boredom.

Her body was safe and sound, and even the clothes that were pierced by the strong man just now returned to their original state.

It was obvious that everything just now was not real, but just a special simulated battle.

Seeing the simulated enemy disappear, Laura Kinney retracted her claws with boredom and turned back to the entrance of the simulation room.

As soon as she walked to the entrance, a black guy wearing the same black uniform as her came over and said to her:

"Laura...You still failed the test this time. This is the second time you failed the make-up test..."

"Boring." Laura rolled her eyes at Rector who came over, "You were boring before, and now you are even more boring after becoming a teacher. Instead of arranging this useless simulated battle for me, you might as well find an opponent for me directly."

"Okay, if you don't want to fight, you can, as long as you give up becoming an X-Man."

"Don't even think about it!"

Laura said almost without hesitation, and glared at Rector.

Rector, who had officially graduated from the Mutant Academy and now became a glorious member of the X-Men, sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

"You don't want to do the mock battle properly, and you don't want to give up being an X-Men, what should I do?"

Rector was speechless.

While Rector and Laura were arguing, Logan, who still had a beard and a leather jacket, came from the other end of the corridor.

Seeing the two people standing in the middle of the corridor and Laura who was full of dissatisfaction, he was also a little helpless:

"Failed the exam again?"

"Humph."

Laura snorted lightly, turned around and walked away, without paying any attention to Logan standing there.

Recto sighed and replied:

"She never takes her simulated battle seriously, and doesn't follow any tactics. She just rushes up to fight the enemy with injuries... Professor Logan, I really have no choice."

"Professor?"

Before Logan could answer, Kevin, who was dressed as a traveler, poked his head out from behind Logan and asked Logan with a gloating look:

"Oh, you are a professor too?"

"..."

Logan looked even more helpless.

Rector was surprised to see Kevin, and then he made a surprised sound:

"Mr. Kevin?!"

...

Kevin didn't expect that so much time had passed in the world of Wolverine 3.

It is now 2034 in the world of Wolverine 3, and it has been five years since Kevin left.

In five years, the world has changed a lot.

First, after countries stopped using Alkali's genetic food and listed it as contraband, mutants began to revive again.

New mutants began to appear, and the older generation of mutants who had lost their mutant abilities due to eating genetically modified food gradually recovered their abilities.

With the reappearance of mutants, Logan's Mutant Academy was finally successfully established with the help of Kevin's last entertainment group.

The location was the former site of the Wiesel School for Geniuses. Logan borrowed money from Kevin's entertainment company, bought it back, and built it into an academy.

The interior design of the academy is the same as before, with the upper floor being the academy and the lower floor being the base of the X-Men.

All kinds of experiments and high-end technologies are here.

But although it is called high-end technology, there is actually only a simulation room for simulating battles, which was something that existed in the X-Men Academy before.

Just now, Laura was conducting a simulated battle in the simulation room.

Logan stipulated that if you want to become a new X-Men, you must get an A+ in the simulated battle.

But unfortunately, Laura's grades have always been C.

"It seems that you are a good professor."

Sitting in Logan's office, Kevin said to Logan while drinking coffee, and then looked at Logan's leather jacket and added:

"It's just that the image is not very serious, not very like a professor."

Which professor wears a leather jacket and smokes during work.

"At first I intended to imitate Charles, but later I found that it was not suitable for me, and after a long time I felt that it was better to relax, and there are actually not many children here."

Logan said casually, and at the same time took out a cigar from under his desk and put it in his mouth.

Although the Mutant Academy was reconvened.

But firstly, Logan doesn't have the ability of Professor X to make ordinary people ignore him. Secondly, although mutants have reappeared in this world, their number is not too large.

Especially children.

So far, most children with superpowers are under five years old, and they are obviously not suitable to be sent to the Mutant Academy.

And thanks to Kevin's operation and the entertainment company that stayed, the situation of mutants is much better than before.

They will not be regarded as monsters and shouted by everyone like in the era when Logan was active. Instead, they will join Logan's entertainment company and perform with superpowers.

There is even a profession called "superhero" because of this.

This is obviously the development strategy Kevin left for Black Paul before he left.

Cultivate entertainment companies according to the development strategy of the Water Group.

Looking at this bastard who came from nowhere in front of him, recalling the influence he left in this world, Logan was quite distracted.

After a while, he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and asked Kevin in the mist:

"How long do you plan to stay this time?"

"Just come to see, not for long, what? What's wrong?"

Kevin came back just to confirm the time in this world, not to stay here for a long time.

After confirming how much time has passed here, and then seeing how his friend, that is, Logan, is doing, Kevin's purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to stay here any longer.

Logan smoked without saying anything. After a while, he suddenly asked Kevin:

"You are not from this world, right?"

"Oh, have you become smarter?"

"It's been so long. No matter how stupid I am, I can figure it out. After all, the machine you brought is not something that can be made on Earth now."

The hacking device made by Raccoon Rocket that Kevin gave him last time cannot be copied for the time being with the technological level of the X-Men world.

It is unique in the world.

When he knew this, Logan had already vaguely guessed Kevin's origins. Moreover, Logan had not heard of Kevin for such a long time. In addition, some inexplicable words Kevin said before made Logan guess that Kevin might not be a human from Earth.

He might be from outer space, or...from other timelines.

But Logan didn't care where Kevin came from. After smoking a cigarette, Logan said to Kevin:

"If you have time to come back in the future, please take Laura out to see it."

"What happened to Laura?"

"Maybe she's in her rebellious period? I'm not very good at raising children. Anyway, Laura seems to be a little...more and more rebellious in the past two years. You just saw it. She didn't put in any effort in the simulated battle, or she just rushed forward. I don't know who she learned it from..."

When it comes to Laura, Logan complained bitterly.

When Kevin heard Logan say 'I don't know who she learned it from', he didn't answer, but just stared at him silently.

Logan also fell silent, and after a while he said:

"...Okay, she learned it from me, but I don't continue to fight in this way now, right? And the X-Men haven't fought with people for many years."

During the period when mutants gradually disappeared, the disputes between mutants had stopped, and the X-Men lost their jobs.

Now mutants are gradually recovering, but there are no mutants like Magneto who want to exterminate humans.

Most criminal work does not need to be handled by the X-Men.

The X-Men only deal with matters related to mutants.

Therefore, the X-Men is now more like a nominal position, with few members, and only those children who came out of Alkali and have grown up.

Including Logan, there are only three people.

So Logan believes that X-Men is not so much a position as a memory of the past, and Laura does not have to become an X-Men.

And she is not suitable to be an X-Men now.

"You want me to manage Laura? Forget it, I don't have the experience of managing children."

Even if Kevin knew Logan's idea, he didn't plan to take Laura away.

Taking care of children is the most troublesome thing, especially Laura is likely to be in the rebellious period.

Kevin felt a headache when he thought about managing a rebellious child.

So Kevin would not agree to Logan's request.

Besides, Kevin would have to go through the second transformation, and it was not suitable for him to go to the second transformation dungeon world with a burden.
