Chapter 885 I Have a Friend, a Trip to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
“You can think whatever you want, but I’m telling the truth.” Hela raised her eyebrows and spread her hands with a smile. “She came to see you, and I told her where you were with good intentions. What’s wrong with that?”
Aaron took a deep breath and calmed down his anger a little, "What you said is really reasonable!
But wouldn't it hurt your conscience to tell someone else that he went out to find another woman in front of her?"
“Conscience? What is that?” Hela pretended to be confused, with a look of bewilderment in her eyes. “After thousands of years of fighting, Odin has only taught me one truth: those who obey me live, and those who disobey me die.”
Aaron was choked. When Her Royal Highness the Princess started to act like a rogue, no one else could do anything about it.
"Your Highness Hela, do you know how much trouble your truthfulness will cause me?"
“I know.” Hela nodded seriously. “But I can’t lie just to help you pick up girls, right? Isn’t it too embarrassing for the goddess of death to do such a thing?”
"Then can't you be more tactful?" Aaron's tone was a little irritated, "For example, I went out to do something, so it's concise and clear!"
"Then if she asks you what you did, how should I answer?"
"You...you are simply being unreasonable."
“Being unreasonable is better than lying!” Hela smiled playfully. “Since she took the initiative to come to you, it means that she has already convinced herself to accept the sad reality that someone is a scumbag.”
"But because of what you said, I have to start all over again.
This time, writing letters won't comfort her. No matter how many letters I write, I'm afraid she won't even read them." Aaron said dejectedly, and silently made a decision.
He has to go talk to Jean face to face. Although he currently does not plan to have too much contact with mutants, if he continues like this, he might even lose his girlfriend.
Tomorrow, tomorrow we will go to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
“Hela, when will your divine power be restored?”
"Why do you suddenly care about this?
Oh! Are you in a hurry to get me out?" Hela looked at him with a smile and said, "My power has recovered, and the contract will naturally expire. I have no reason to stay with you."
Aaron didn't deny it and nodded bluntly.
His temple was too small to accommodate the goddess Hela, especially since she would cause him trouble from time to time.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already recovered 10% of my power.” Hela raised a finger and said, “The remaining 90% will recover faster and faster.
When the time comes, I will seek revenge on Odin myself. Even if you don't chase me away, I will leave."
"If there's anything I can help you with in this regard, just let me know." Aaron said righteously, mentally prepared to bleed.
Hela was surprised for a moment, "Help me kill Odin?"
"What good things are you thinking about? I mean to help you recover your divine power."
"Odin's power is in my body. I can use my own power to wear it away bit by bit. This is a natural, gradual process.
But if an external force intervenes, Odin will immediately feel this force and cast a glance across a long distance in space.
If you're prepared, I don't mind."
"Just pretend I didn't say anything." Aaron acted decisively. He could suffer a little loss to help Hela recover her power, but if Odin remembered him because of it, it would be a loss.
“Tsk!” Hela rolled her eyes at him with disdain. “It’s not that I don’t want you to help me, it’s that you’re unwilling to bear the cost of helping me.”
Aaron:......
......
The next day.
Aaron made a sumptuous breakfast to celebrate Jane's joining.
"Try it, it tastes quite good." Daisy handed a fried egg to Jane, "This is the only place on earth where you can eat such delicious food."
"I only drink blood," Jane said coldly.
"You can't just drink blood!" Daisy laughed dryly with an unnatural look. Besides Jane, there were only three people and a dragon at the table, and she was obviously the weakling among the three.
Although Aaron had ordered her not to drink human blood, it would be a lie to say she wasn't worried.
"You are no longer an ordinary vampire." Aaron said meaningfully, "You are a pharmacist and animal trainer, so the sunlight will not have much effect on you.
Perhaps after becoming a demigod, your life will transform again, and it is not impossible to end the days of living by sucking blood.
But before that...I will support you."
Aaron took out a cup of blood that was not sticky from the kitchen and said, "Every time you cook fresh ingredients, you always get some fresh blood.
In the past I handled things rather casually, but now there's a vampire at home, and I can serve you as food.
Try it. This cup is the blood of the moa. It tastes much better than human blood. Although I have never drunk human blood, this has been certified by the entire Cullen family."
Jane picked up the cup doubtfully and took a sip from the straw.
It has a light salty fragrance, which is indeed different from human blood, and has more energy.
"This is the first time I've experienced a different taste since I became a vampire." Jane said with some joy, "It's not the taste of blood, it's like... fish soup, which I tasted when I was still human."
"Drink slowly, no one will compete with you for it."
"Thank you, Master."
After breakfast, Daisy and Jane cleaned up the kitchen, and Hela took a novel and lay on the sofa to read it by herself.
Aaron pondered for a moment, then picked up his phone and made a call.
"My name is Aaron, and I need the location of the Mutant Academy, as well as information about the principal and teachers.
Don't give me the cold shoulder, I know SHIELD has these."
"Fuck!" Nick Fury's unexpected voice came from the phone, "Don't ruin other people's mood so early in the morning. I'm sure you're not a mutant. How are you related to them?"
"I have a friend who..."
"Change it." Nick Fury interrupted speechlessly, "This routine has been played out by others a long time ago."
“Listen to me, I have a friend.
This friend is a woman, and she is a mutant."
"Fuck you!" Nick Fury couldn't help but swear again, "I still suggest you change one.
You are a smart person, you should know that humans' attitude towards mutants is not very good, and this is based on the premise that most people don't know the existence of mutants."
"This is none of my business. She and I had a small misunderstanding and I need to explain it to her face to face."
"Excuse me, which one is your girlfriend?"
"Jean Grey."
“Ha! She’s Charles Xavier’s favorite student.
I suggest you don't invest too much emotion in her, otherwise it will be troublesome in the future."
"You just need to give me the information about the Mutant Academy, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
"Okay! I can give you the information, but..." Nick Fury said with a calm smile, "You can't let me give it to you for free!"
"Go ahead! I'm mentally prepared."
"Help me do some divination. Pierce is trying his best to promote an insight plan, but the people who actually implement this plan are from Hydra. I need to know the specific content of the plan."
"Divination can't be specific. Otherwise, the world would have no secrets from me, and I wouldn't have to ask for help from your SHIELD."
“The general content is fine.”
"At most I'll tell you some of the clips I saw."
"This...is okay."
"It's been so long, you still haven't gotten rid of those Hydras?"
"It's not that easy." Nick Fury laughed at himself, "But we have prepared everything we need. Now we just need to minimize the losses."
After sending the information Aaron needed to his mobile phone, Nick Fury sat down at his desk and said, "Coulson, there's nothing unusual with the mutants, right?"
“Not yet, sir.
Find those mutants who are scattered and homeless, teach them knowledge and cultivate correct values.
Professor Charles is very sensible. He won't do anything that crosses the line, nor will he let other mutants easily cross the line."
"So the mutant school can still be opened." Nick Fury laughed, "We need him to suppress the extremists among the mutants.
But you also know that the already fragile balance between humans and mutants is becoming even more fragile due to various factors.
Once this bubble is burst, that’s when the trouble begins.”
"Sir, do you mean that we should prepare early?" Coulson asked.
"Preparations have already been made, but SHIELD is only responsible for prevention, defense, and coordination, while the military is responsible for attack. Some people with deep obsessions have been committed to research on eliminating mutants.
They prefer to kill all mutants and make them disappear completely." Nick Fury sighed slightly, "We don't need to worry about these, let's get rid of Hydra first."
“I understand, sir.
But what about Aaron and the mutants?"
"Do you think he'd be the kind of guy who'd go against the whole world for a woman?"
"Probably not!"
"Definitely not." Nick Fury said with certainty, "From the time we met him until now, everything he did was for himself, a pure egoist.
It's a pity that his girlfriend is Jean Grey, an outstanding student of Charles Xavier. If it was an ordinary mutant, SHIELD might be able to recruit him."
......
Westchester, New York.
Aaron rode his motorcycle to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, which is located in the suburbs and surrounded by woods.
As soon as he walked into the school gate, a flash of crimson flew towards him from a distance.
"Master, you're finally here." Fox flapped his wings and flew around Aaron happily.
"Take me to her."
"Okay, master."
Following Fox, Aaron looked at the campus environment with interest.
In addition to the castle-style teaching building, the school also has dormitories, a cafeteria, a library, a playground, a lake, a basketball court and a considerable green area.
"Everything a normal school should have is here." Aaron sighed casually, his eyes sweeping over a group of students who were playing basketball. They looked about twelve or thirteen years old.
However, some of these kids can dribble with a flash, some can stretch their arms to grab the ball, and some can dunk from three meters high.
"Okay! Sure enough, there is still something wrong.
But things that shouldn’t be in a normal school are also available here.”
At this time, Ororo, a man with white hair, came over and said, "Hello, Gaius."
"you know me?"
“Jin and I are friends,” Ororo said, “Can you tell me what happened yesterday?
She asked the professor for leave to visit you, but she didn't talk much after she came back and seemed very depressed."
“Hmm…how should I put it?
It should be a misunderstanding caused by a few words, although it is a bit hard to explain. "Aaron said a little embarrassedly, "But it doesn't matter.
Where is Jean now? I'll go see her."
"Principal's office. The professor sensed you when you first came in, and asked me to come pick you up."
Oloro led the way, entered the teaching building, climbed a few stairs, and finally stopped in front of a door. "I still have classes, so I won't go in."
Aaron took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.
There were only two people in this office, one was Qin, and the other was Professor Charles Xavier, who was sitting in a wheelchair and had disabled legs.
"Long time no see, Mr. Gaius.
It seems like the last time we met was two years ago, but you seemed to have hidden your secrets from my telepathy.
It's like now, you are standing in front of me, but I can't see anything." Charles said in a friendly manner, but Aaron looked at his bald head and felt that this light bulb was extremely annoying.
"Professor Xavier, can you let Jean and I talk alone?"
"Ok, no problem.
But there are still some things that need to be discussed with Mr. Gaius later." Charles said earnestly, "It's about Fox, your phoenix."
Aaron raised his eyebrows and was about to refuse when Charles’ voice rang in his mind, “This is very important to Qin.
Besides, she really likes you, but don’t make her sad over and over again.”
"I see."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the office." Charles nodded, then gave Qin an encouraging look, "Go! You always have to face it."
Qin glared at Aaron resentfully and pulled him out of the principal's office.
The two walked across the playground and came to a big tree by the lake.
"Well... I came back yesterday afternoon." Aaron said a little stiffly, "After knowing that you came to see me and what Hela said..."
"You don't have to explain, I just want to know if what she said is true?"
"It's true, but not..."
"It's good that it's true." Qin interrupted with a sneer, "How should I say it?
Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot?"
"That's not right." Aaron retorted seriously, "Because no matter what's in the pot or the bowl, it's all mine."
Hearing this, Qin was stunned for a moment, "Tell me the truth, how many do you have?"
Aaron hesitated for a few seconds, looked directly into Jean's eyes and said, "Four and a half."
"The one you went to find yesterday counts as half?"
"No, you count as half, because our relationship has not reached the final stage yet."
