"Wow, that's really brave."
Looking at the guy on the screen who had repeatedly provoked Yagami Taichi and Amano Nagi, Kazuma Sato felt that the other party was really brave.
They had previously witnessed how Nightcrawler remained undefeated against a group of fully armed individuals, who couldn't even touch a hair on the Nightcrawler's head.
If the Nightcrawler hadn't been careless, he probably would have successfully assassinated the president.
"Is that why they say ignorance is no excuse?"
"I'm talking to the guy who's been provoking me on the screen," said Hachiman Hikigaya, looking at the provocative guy on the screen.
He was the first member of the Avengers to suffer at the hands of a mutant.
Magneto, Yuu Otosaka, threw him into the sea like trash.
The man exhaled a puff of smoke and spoke to Taichi Yagami.
As the man took his second puff, Yagami Taichi activated his mutant ability, and suddenly the cigarette in the man's hand burst into flames.
[It wasn't a small fire that started; a large flame erupted, burning the man's hand so badly that it flew up. He flung the cigarette away.]
However, the man's clothes had already been set ablaze by the flames.
"Aaaaaah!"
"Crack!"
The man, patting his burning sleeves, lost his balance and fell backward, overturning a table.
[Yagami Taichi laughed at the man's pathetic state, and the Ice Man Amano Nagi immediately used her mutant ability to shoot out a beam of extremely cold frost, extinguishing the man's clothes, which were already mostly on fire.]
"Oh, boss lady, you don't have an illegitimate child either, do you?"
"How come you two both have illegitimate children?!"
Toadman Yamashita Toru looked at the Fire Man in the light screen, then at the leader, Kuroba Misa, and said.
"Get lost! How could he possibly be my illegitimate child?!"
Upon hearing this, Kuroba Misa's face flushed with anger. The Red Devil beside her looked at the man in the light screen and slowly spoke.
“I think if he goes to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor will be surprised at how he can have both burns and frostbite at the same time.”
[After extinguishing the flames, the ice-man Amano Nagi found everyone around her frozen in place, as if a program had suddenly stopped running. It wasn't a simple stop; their bodies were frozen in that instant, like time had stopped.]
[The Ice Man, Amano Nagi, initially thought she was frightened by her own mutant abilities, but then realized that not only their surroundings, but the entire history museum had fallen silent. The once bustling place had suddenly become quiet, creating a slightly eerie atmosphere.]
[Only one type of person can still move normally: the mutants who were not immobilized by Professor X, Hayato Otosaka.]
"Nagi, did you do this?"
Taichi Yagami walked up to a guy and waved his hand in front of his eyes, but received no response.
547: The troublesome Mystique, Stryker who hates mutants the most.
"No, I didn't do this, and besides, I don't have the ability to do it."
"I reckon only that professor could have done that."
Listening to Yagami Taichi's words, Amano Nagi felt that Yagami Taichi was making things difficult for her. Could she, an ice queen, really achieve such an effect?
Meanwhile, the group of teachers, including Cyclops and Hoshizora Yuzaki, also arrived.
"I did it."
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and Professor X, Tsubasa Otosaka, sitting in a wheelchair, appeared before Nagi Amano, Taichi Yagami, Rumi Tsurumi, and the other mutants.
[Of course, Professor X, Tsubasa Otosaka, didn't come in person; he merely created a fantasy within the minds of the three using his abilities.]
Professor X, Hayato Otosaka, looked sternly at Nagi Amano, the Ice Man, and Taichi Yagami, the Fire Man, and spoke. The faculty members behind him remained silent, as they also bore responsibility for not supervising their students properly.
"Don't show off anymore."
Professor X, Hayabusa Otosaka, stated that he did not want his students to use their mutant abilities in public without thinking.
"That would cause panic," a female student thought, curiously poking the guy who was frozen in place.
Suddenly, an urgent news report appeared on the central screen of the history museum.
[Breaking news! Blue Star News Agency reporting live.]
"The Oval Office at the Star Palace has been attacked. The details are still being investigated, but it is currently confirmed that the President and Vice President are safe and sound."
[“Sources indicate that this was likely the work of one or more mutants, and as for mutants…”]
"We should go, Professor."
[Cyclops Yuzaki Hoshizora, watching the news on TV, said to Professor X, Otosaka Hayato.]
Now the mutant community is completely exposed. As for the reason, it has already been stated: mutants have broken into the Star Palace.
Professor X, Hayato Otosaka, was also surprised when he heard the news report. He hadn't expected the government to expose the existence of mutants at this time.
Professor X, Hayato Otosaka, never intended to keep the mutant community a secret indefinitely; he knew that sooner or later it would be revealed to the public.
But this came too suddenly, and the reason for the exposure was far from friendly: mutants broke into the Star Palace to assassinate the President and the Vice President.
[At that time, politicians who already dislike mutants will definitely control the direction of mainstream media opinion, making mutants infamous from the moment they appear.]
"The plan has been disrupted."
[Professor X, Hayato Otosaka, thought to himself.]
[Then Professor X and Hayato Otosaka also disappeared. After Cyclops, Hoshino Yuzaki, and the other teachers and students left, the professor released his control over everyone in the history museum.]
"Drink it!"
The man who had caused the trouble, lying on the ground, also reacted instinctively the moment he was released from control.
However, the guys from before were nowhere to be seen, and his accomplices also wore similarly bewildered expressions.
"Professor X's plans have been disrupted."
"Professor X, Tsubasa Otosaka, knew from the beginning that the mutant community could not remain hidden in human society forever."
"That's why Phoenix was allowed to enter the meeting as a politician, to fight for more fame and fortune for the mutant community before they were exposed."
"At the same time, in the fight against the Chitauri, the X-Men helped the Avengers, although the videos about them were quickly deleted after they were released."
"But at least we gained the favor of the Avengers, a team with a certain degree of influence and power."
Kiyotaka Ayanokouji watched Professor Otosaka Hayato analyze Professor Otosaka Hayato's plan on the light screen. Combining the content of "X-Men 1", Kiyotaka Ayanokouji also roughly came up with a plan.
Of course, this is just a plan that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji came up with himself, and it is uncertain whether Professor X, Hayato Otosaka, also intended to do so.
Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters.
After urgently convening a meeting with the X-Men, Cyclops, who remained behind, spoke to Professor Otosaka Hayato.
"In my opinion, Magneto is very likely the mastermind behind this."
"Professor, you see, this incident has completely prejudiced the president against us mutants, and he'll harbor resentment towards us."
"We weren't originally planning to go public, but now we're about to, and revealing our mutant identities doesn't seem like a good thing."
"Magneto is definitely trying to use this to forcibly pull us into his camp and make us enemies of ordinary people."
"Starry Sky, what you said makes a lot of sense. The current situation where mutants are about to be exposed, the reasons for their exposure, and the consequences are exactly what Yuu Otosaka would want to see and achieve."
"However, this also has its drawbacks. It could hinder his goal of making mutants thrive. After all, if mutants are completely exposed or become infamous, it will negatively impact him."
"I think the government will push through that mutant registration bill that we so painstakingly rejected."
[Storm Woman Amano Hina leaned against the wall and said.]
"Perhaps things could get worse; the president could declare martial law and criminalize all mutants."
[Professor X, Hayato Otosaka, continued from where Storm Girl Hina Amano left off.]
"Professor, do you think the assassination of the president was a solo operation?"
Phoenix Girl Yuzaki Tsukasa asked.
"We'll know once we find out which mutant committed the assassination."
"But that mutant's whereabouts are too elusive; even with my brainwave enhancement machine, it's very difficult for me to track him down."
"Once I've pinpointed the target, Storm, Phoenix, go and bring him back."
[Professor X, Hayato Otosaka, spoke up, "If it weren't for the Nightcrawler's mutant ability to teleport, Professor X would have already found his shape."]
[And this mutant also reminded him of an old friend, Red Devil.]
"That was a close call!"
"It was incredibly dangerous."
[Inside the presidential office, the Oval Office of the Star Palace, a man in a suit and tie, with a white beard and white hair, touched the knife mark left by the Nightcrawler's dagger and spoke.]
"What do you want, William?"
The president looked at William and said this, then took out a bottle of wine.
"I am authorized to conduct a special operation."
"No, thank you, Mr. President, but I don't drink."
