Magic Journey from Hogwarts

Chapter 981: A 'fair' duel that ended before it even began, Logan loses his memory



Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters.

Although I haven't been here for more than half a year, there doesn't seem to be much change here.

Aaron walked into the school gate, walked into the teaching building, and came to the door of the principal's office with ease.

There was a knock on the door, and after getting permission, he opened the door.

Charles was teaching a class, and several senior students including Fire Man, Ice Man, and Phantom Cat were sitting around his desk.

As soon as Aaron came in, he attracted everyone's attention.

"Long time no see, Aaron." Charles said politely.

"It seems I came at the wrong time."

"The class is over." Charles pointed to the closed textbook in his hand, and then said to several students: "The homework is to define the human principles of weakness and strength. It is due on Wednesday."

Several students packed up their books and walked past Aaron.

"Are you here to look for Qin?"

"What else? I can't be here to find you!"

"In fact, you should have come to see her a long time ago." Charles smiled and shook his head. "She cried secretly several times after returning from Egypt, but she was too shy to come to you."

"So I came to find her." Aaron sat opposite Charles. "As for why I came to find her, you should be able to guess."

"Eric." Charles said calmly, "Fox must have told you what happened in the past two days, but I don't think you need to worry.

Eric has always put the interests of mutants first, and I am also in the school, so he will not attack."

"At most, he won't attack by force." Aaron disagreed. "If it were me, I wouldn't attack by force either, but there's a saying that a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days.

This is a school, not a military zone, and there are loopholes everywhere.

And he's not alone, they'll always find a loophole."

Charles groaned for a moment and said, "I think you are a little too concerned. Eric has a high reputation among mutants, but unless he officially declares war on humans, he will not be so reckless as to establish a mutant army.

Now his Brotherhood of Mutants isn't that powerful, and the X-Men will protect the school."

Naive, it's hard to imagine that such a naive person would be one of the two leaders of the mutants.

Mutants have not been destroyed to this day, and Magneto really deserves credit for this!

Aaron complained silently in his heart, and just as he was about to speak, he heard hurried footsteps, and then the office door was opened again and quickly closed.

The man who came in was barefoot, wearing ill-fitting clothes, and had rapid and disordered breathing. He was like a guilty thief and was wary of the unfamiliar environment.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt something and slowly turned his head to see Charles and Aaron in the room besides him.

"Alas!" Aaron sighed heavily, "Professor Charles, admit it!

The security at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters is really not that good, anyone can get in."

"I let him in." Charles didn't explain much, just looked at the man like an old friend, "Hello, Logan, I'm Charles Xavier, would you like some lunch?"

"Where am I?"

“Westchester, New York.

You were attacked and my men brought you in for treatment."

"I don't need treatment." Logan said coldly. His mutant abilities are retractable claws and incredible self-healing abilities. Treatment is completely unnecessary.

"Yes, of course."

"Where is the girl?"

"Rogue is here, she's fine."

"Really?" Logan asked, staring into Charles' eyes.

At this time, the door opened again, and Storm with silver hair and Cyclops wearing red goggles walked in.

"Oh my god!" Aaron complained speechlessly, "Am I the only one who knows to knock when I come in?"

"Aaron?" Ororo raised his eyebrows and snorted, "You still remember to come here!"

"You shouldn't have come here." Scott didn't look happy at all, "Why did you come here?"

"My girlfriend is here, why can't I come?"

"It's her ex-girlfriend." Scott emphasized seriously, "You haven't been in touch with her for more than half a year. You..."

"What's going on with us has nothing to do with you?" Aaron said disdainfully, "Don't tell me you're still thinking about someone else's girlfriend. Aren't you a bitch?"

"you..."

"Are you angry? Bite me if you don't agree!" Aaron said provocatively, then looked at Scott seriously, "I'll give you a chance for a fair fight.

I don't need weapons, you don't need mutant powers, it's a one-on-one duel, you choose the time and place.

As for the results not being announced to the public, whoever is weaker will be unlucky.”

"If you win, I will never come to this school again. If you lose, stay away from Qin."

Hearing this, Scott was really moved for a moment.

He is a mutant, and although his mutant abilities are all in his eyes, it doesn't mean he is weak.

The X-Men are all strictly screened, and their physical fitness and fighting skills are much stronger than ordinary people. If they are put together with ordinary people, they can at least beat three of them at once.

As for Aaron, he had learned about them. Alchemists, fortune tellers, pharmacists... There were many professions, but none of them were related to combat. Moreover, alchemists did not use weapons, which was no different from tying themselves up.

To sum up, Aaron is just a good-looking pretty boy, there is no reason why he can't be defeated!

As long as he could win, he could save Jean from that unnecessary and complicated relationship, and teach Aaron a profound lesson at the same time.

Anyway, the result of the duel will not be announced to the public, so he has the final say on how to fight.

Compared to Scott's excitement that was difficult to suppress, Aaron's mentality was much simpler. He didn't even consider winning or losing because he couldn't lose anyway.

He thought that as long as Scott agreed, he would defeat him in the duel and completely erase his unnecessary thoughts.

Just as Scott was about to agree, Jean walked in.

Looking at Qin who was wearing a red dress, he swallowed the words back when they were about to come out of his mouth.

"Consider you lucky."

"It's still unclear who will be the lucky one!" Aaron secretly said what a pity, then winked at Qin.

Are you surprised to see me? Are you surprised? Are you touched?

Qin raised the corner of her mouth and rolled her eyes at him, indicating that there were other people here and it would be better for him to restrain himself.

"That's really interesting." Logan joked.

"Logan, let me introduce you." Charles said, "This is Ororo Munro, also known as Storm, and this is Scott Summers, nicknamed Cyclops.

This is Dr. Jean Grey, I assume you have met her."

"Where is he?" Logan asked, pointing at Aaron.

"He is Aaron Gaius. He is not a mutant, but he is a very outstanding individual among humans."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"You are in my school for gifted people, which is for mutants. You can stay safe from Magneto here."

"I'm skeptical about this." Aaron said at an inopportune moment, "It's good to be confident, but being too confident is not a good thing."

"Magneto?" Ron frowned subconsciously, "What does he want me to do?"

"He believes that there will be a war between humans and mutants, so he prepared an experiment to turn ordinary people into mutants." Charles sighed, "And in order to better complete this plan, he needs the help of mutants."

"Can I help you with this plan?"

"I'm not sure if he's looking for you, because judging from his needs and purpose, the little rascal is more like his target.

But we can't rule you out, as your self-healing ability may make the experiment more stable.

By the way, the one who attacked you was one of Magneto’s companions, called Sabretooth.”

"Sabertooth?" Logan sneered, "What did they call you? Wheelchair? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

"Logan, it's been almost fifteen years, hasn't it?" Charles said flatly, "Living day after day, moving from one place to another, with no memory of who or what you are."

"Shut up." Logan's face changed, and there was a fierce warning in his eyes.

"Give me a chance, I might be able to help you find the answer."

"How did you know?"

"You're not the only one with the gift...where are you going...where is he going...here..."

An extremely familiar yet strange voice rang in Logan's mind, faintly awakening the memories buried deep in his soul.

He suddenly realized that Charles was his friend before he lost his memory. Even if they were not friends, they must have had some interactions before, and maybe he could really help him find his past.

"What is this place?"

"Let me show you around!" Charles said with a smile, "Oloro, Scott, you go back to teaching first. As for Qin...you should have a good talk with Aaron!"

"Professor..." Scott wanted to say something, but when he met Charles' calm eyes, he swallowed all the words back, "Got it, I'll go to class now."

Scott quickly left everyone's sight like a child throwing a tantrum.

Charles sighed silently. This student was good in every way. His character and abilities were impeccable, but he just couldn't let go of Qin.

But as someone who has been through this, he also understands his thoughts. Perhaps only time can make him let go slowly!

Charles controlled the automatic wheelchair and led the way, taking Logan to visit the mutant academy in great detail, including the classrooms, cafeteria, dormitories, library, and even the fighter jets underground.

While patiently introducing the school environment, he did not forget his own educational philosophy.

"Anonymity is the mutants' first line of defense against the hostility of the world. To the outside world, we are just a school for gifted children. Cyclops, Storm and others are my students.

I protected them, taught them to control their powers, and in time taught others to do the same.

The students had mostly run away from home, frightened, lonely, and some possessed talents so extreme that they were a danger to themselves and those around them.

Like your friend Rugrats, who cannot have physical contact with humans, possibly for the rest of her life, and yet here she is studying with other people her own age and is accepted by everyone.

What happens to her is up to her, to rejoin the world as a educated woman, or to stay and teach others, to become what the kids call an 'X-Men'..."

......

"X-Men, it sounds like a very impressive name, but do you really think of yourself as a police officer?"

"I never thought about it that way." Jean sighed slightly, "The professor doesn't allow us to get involved in matters that have nothing to do with mutants."

"Fortunately, he didn't let you get involved, otherwise this school would have been gone long ago." Aaron snorted coldly, then grabbed Qin's right hand, looked at the moonstone bracelet on her wrist and said, "Shouldn't you explain to me why this defensive magic weapon has become half useless in just half a year?"

"This... Accidents are bound to happen during the mission!"

"I know, but accidents like this can be avoided." Aaron said earnestly, "I can understand why you don't want to leave this mutant school where you don't know when it will be attacked by missiles.

I can even accept your efforts for the survival of mutants, but at least think about yourself!"

"There are still nine moonstones left on this bracelet. Its defensive capabilities have been greatly reduced. If it is bombarded by powerful energy, it may not be able to protect you."

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

"Come on! If you had known better, this defensive magic weapon wouldn't have turned out like this.

And judging by your current consumption of this magic weapon, I'm really worried that the remaining nine moonstones will be turned into powder before next year." Aaron complained in frustration, then looked at Qin seriously and said, "Take my advice, don't be an X-Man, it's too dangerous.

Can't you stay in this school and be a teacher?"

Qin pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Under Aaron's expectant gaze, she shook her head and said, "Sorry."

Aaron suddenly felt upset and asked with a bitter smile, "Why?"

“You don’t know the situation of mutants.” Qin said in a low voice: “Since the existence of mutants was exposed, it seems that the malice of the whole world has been suppressed.

Some were abandoned by their families, some hid themselves voluntarily, and some were maliciously reported. These homeless mutants would be captured by the Sentinel Special Service if they did something even slightly wrong.

Those who are luckier will spend life in prison, while those who are less lucky will be subjected to human experiments.

Under these circumstances, mutants formed small groups, but the situation of these organizations is not good, and they need guidance and encouragement. "

"But you don't have to do this job!"

“Besides the professor, I’m the only one with telepathic abilities.

The professor founded this school to protect mutants, but a school is a school after all. We can only protect a small number of children from harm and help them grow up healthily, but even so there are still many risks.

It’s not that we don’t want to recruit those powerful mutants, but these people are the spiritual pillars of the mutant organizations. Without them, those organizations will soon fall apart.”

"Okay!" Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was convinced by Qin's powerful reasoning. "Can you tell me what you have been doing during this period of time?"
