"I thought you were here to discuss school reform plans with me."
"Haha, Mr. President, you're so funny."
【"senator."】
"Mr. President."
"Thank you for your invitation."
"Senator Clay, this is William, Colonel William Stryker."
[As the president introduced them, William shook hands with Clay, and that was it.]
"Since I took office, matters concerning mutants have been handled by his department."
"You're a staunch supporter of the Mutant Registration Act, but it seems your attitude towards mutants has shifted."
The president looked at Senator Clay and said.
"This is for the greater good, Mr. President."
"Recently, it's necessary to hold a press conference to explain the situation regarding mutants."
"Rest assured, Mr. President, we have already contacted Lieutenant Colonel Hachiman Hikigaya of the Iron Patriots. Your safety will be guaranteed at that time."
"So, what good advice do you have for me, Mr. Stryker?"
After Senator Clay finished speaking, he also looked at Stryker.
"Can we sit down and talk, Mr. President?"
The president waved for them to sit, and the three of them sat down.
Inside a small office outside the presidential office, a female bodyguard was constantly stretching her muscles, her fists cracking, which made the office clerks somewhat uneasy.
"We have gathered evidence indicating that there is a training facility in the northern suburbs of District T, specifically used for training mutants."
Stryker then pulled out a stack of photos, taken from an overhead perspective, clearly taken by a drone.
"Is your source reliable?"
Senator Clay asked, looking at the photos Stryker had placed on the table.
"A terrorist from the Freedom Island incident was interrogated."
"Otosaka Yuu?"
"Have you talked to him?"
Hearing Stryker's words, the president immediately thought of Magneto, Yuu Otosaka.
"That's right, Magneto."
"We designed a state-of-the-art plastic prison specifically for him."
The president took a deep breath upon hearing this, then picked up a photograph and said...
"You've really been put in jail."
Nao Tomori moved closer to Yuu Otosaka and nudged him playfully.
"It's unbelievable. I really don't know how they managed to capture you, Magneto."
"Your mutant abilities are probably second only to the professor in terms of difficulty in capturing."
Takashiro Joshiro adjusted his glasses and looked at Yuu Otosaka.
"The Freedom Island incident, I was drained dry by that little rascal Rumi Tsurumi's mutant ability in order to activate that device, and I was captured while I was weakened."
Yuu Otosaka spoke up, after all, his exhausted and debilitated appearance in "X-Men 1" was still deeply ingrained in people's minds.
"Is that training institution a school?"
"Without a doubt."
"What the hell is this thing?"
Looking at the few more photos Stryker had shown, and at the things depicted in them, the president asked curiously.
"What kind of jet?"
"We don't know?"
"But you can take off directly from the basketball court, which is similar to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Quinjet."
Upon hearing Stryker's words, the president immediately stood up and walked to the window.
"If only we could have taken action before it happened..."
"Alright, listen, William, you have the right to search, detain, and interrogate."
"However, I don't want to see the bodies of mutant children being massacred on the 6 o'clock news."
"And I estimate they'll hold a press conference no later than next week, you know what I mean."
Hearing the president's words, Stryker smiled; his trip had not been in vain.
"It looks like our Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters is in big trouble."
Otosaka Hayato said, looking at the content on the light screen. Kumamiya, who was next to him, couldn't help but flinch when he heard what Otosaka Hayato said.
"You're the principal and professor of Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters, so why do you seem so pleased to see this?"
"But it didn't happen, and even if it did, it's like we knew it beforehand, isn't it?"
"I'm optimistic," said Otosaka Hayabusa.
"Mr. Stryker?"
"Senator Clay."
Stryker turned around when he heard someone call his name, and seeing it was Senator Clay, he introduced him to the man in the small office whose fists were clenched so tightly they were cracking.
"This is Yuriko, my personal assistant."
"Such strong grip."
Senator Clay shook hands with him and praised him.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
Stryker knew that Senator Clay must have something to ask of him when he stopped him.
"I'd like to pay Magneto, Yuu Otosaka, a visitor to prison."
"That's not some pet park, Mr. Senator."
"He is the protagonist in this conflict."
"You're just a spectator, so don't get involved in this mess."
Stryker politely declined Senator Clay's request for a prison visit.
【"conflict?"】
"Mr. Stryker, are you trying to start a war?"
[Upon hearing Senator Clay's words, Stryker immediately stopped and walked up to him.]
"I was already commanding special operations in Sector V when you were still being breastfed by your mother. Don't talk to me about war."
"The war has already begun."
After Stryker finished speaking, he turned and left. Senator Kerry watched Stryker's departing figure, his pupils suddenly shifting in a strange direction.
"You see, your mutant abilities are actually quite annoying, aren't they?"
"In some ways, you're harder to catch than I am, since my appearance doesn't change like yours."
Yuu Otosaka looked at Nao Tomori and said.
"That makes sense. After all, no matter how difficult others are to capture, it's reflected in the strength of their mutant abilities."
"And Tomori, your mutant ability is troublesome. Your ever-changing appearance makes it difficult for people to accurately determine your exact location and current appearance and identity."
Takashiro Takagi, adopting a neutral stance and siding with reason rather than personal connections, spoke up.
Episode 548: Wolverine Returns, Professor X Brings a Shocking Scene
[The fire-man Taichi Yagami glanced at the mischievous Tsurumi Rumi and the ice-man Nagi Amano, who were showing off their affection there.]
"You're dead."
"You're the one who's dead."
[Those were clearly malicious words, but for some reason, the tone of voice when saying them was surprisingly...sweet.]
[And the people who uttered those two saccharine words were none other than the mischievous Tsurumi Rumi and the ice-cold Amano Nagi.]
[The two of them were showing off their affection, with the icy Amano Nagi constantly fiddling with the gloves the little rascal was wearing. 乯]
Suddenly, Mischief and Iceman looked up and met eyes, instantly creating a very ambiguous atmosphere. Under this influence, Iceman Amano Nagi slowly moved closer to Mischief.
"I don't want to hurt you."
Just as the two were about to touch, the mischievous Tsurumi Rumi was the first to regain her senses.
