"Sit as you like, I don't have that many rules here." Zhan Liu pointed to the seat next to him and signaled to Jimmy Yang who was shivering beside him.

Jimmy Young is a newly awakened mutant. He is not a student of Midtown High School, but a child of a merchant in Chinatown, studying in a public high school.

He is a fan of Bruce Lee and a fan of kung fu, so he joined the martial arts gym as soon as it was established, and it has been a few months now.

Originally, he was a naughty boy with bad grades. He would probably join a Chinese gang to make a living in the future. But now he was looking at the feathers on his body at a loss. He wanted to sit down but was afraid that the feathers would be crushed.

.

"Forget it, you'd better stand. I don't know if it will affect the feathers if you sit down."

Jimmy was relieved and stood there, looking at Zhan Liu anxiously.

"Don't be nervous. I have no discrimination against mutants, and I'm not a mutant. You know, I'm not from this world, and I don't think mutants are dangerous. So, you don't have to worry that I will hurt you."

"Thank you, Master." Jimmy's nervousness eased a little, but he was still very nervous, "How did I suddenly awaken the mutant gene?"

"I'm not sure about this. However, in principle, anyone can awaken the mutant gene. Many people don't have mutant genes, but their X-gene is recessive and they receive some huge stimulation.

When the time comes, it will be possible to convert recessive genes into dominant genes and then awaken."

"What is your ability? Can you control the wind?" Zhan Liu was also very curious when he saw a mutant for the first time.

"Uh... I guess so." Jimmy stretched out his hand, and a wisp of breeze appeared on his hand. When he waved his hand, the wind suddenly turned into a sharp blade and shot out, cutting a shallow mark on the table next to him.

"Yes, you can control your abilities right after awakening. Although it is still a bit weak now, you should be able to become stronger through scientific training in the future." Zhan Liu nodded approvingly.

"I don't know what's going on. I feel that controlling this wind is quite simple. It's much easier than practicing Ultimate Infinite Qigong."

"This is nature. Controlling wind is your mutant ability. It is an innate ability, rooted in your genes, just like fish can swim and birds can fly. The qigong I teach is acquired.

What you get through cultivation is of course more difficult."

Hearing Zhan Liu mention that birds can fly, Jimmy also fluttered his feathered arms and bounced a few times, but finally stopped in frustration and said dejectedly: "It seems that my feathers are nothing."

Use it, it can’t fly.”

"The fact that birds can fly should have something to do with their hollow bones, and you don't have wings. But you don't have to be discouraged. As long as you can enter the realm of magnetic field rotation, you can fly." Zhan Liu consoled him.

"Uh...can I still continue to learn in the martial arts gym?" Jimmy asked in surprise.

"Of course, you haven't reached the three-month period I set again last time. Or are you planning to move away from here and not continue?"

"No, of course not. I have no plans to move. I also want to continue studying here. It would be better if I could complete the assessment and become an official disciple. I'm just worried..." He stopped talking.

"I can't control it outside, but within the scope of my martial arts gym, racial discrimination is not allowed, and discrimination against mutants is not allowed."

Jimmy was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master."

"I'll take you home first. Your parents don't know your current situation yet. Have you figured out how to face them?"

"I...I don't know." Jimmy's smile became stiff again.

"If your parents can't accept your current state, you might as well come to the martial arts gym and I will arrange a suitable place for you."

Zhan Liu doesn't believe in the saying that tigers can't eat their children even if they poison them. Although there are indeed many parents who are willing to sacrifice everything for their children, there are also many parents who are selfish and don't take their children seriously at all.

Hundreds of thousands of children are abandoned in the United States every year, and nearly 10 million children have no fathers. Most of the children are the product of passion.

Even if both parents are well-educated, they may not all love their children.

Parents all over the world can give birth to children without taking any examinations. This is such a terrifying thing.

Zhanliu doesn't know what kind of people Jimmy's parents are, but in Marvel's mutant-related comics, there are plots about parents betraying, abandoning, and selling their children because of their mutant children.

Therefore, it is not wrong to think of the worst in everything.

As for Jimmy's subsequent placement, it can be easily solved.

If Jimmy can enter the martial arts school within the three-month period, he will naturally live in the martial arts school. If he cannot, he will be left to Professor

Just thank you.

But the next day, when Zhanliu saw Jimmy coming with his parents, he knew that Jimmy was lucky. His parents were not the standard Marvel parents.

Although they still have some fear of mutants, this fear does not overshadow their love for their sons.

They came here to express their gratitude, and it was obviously Jimmy who told his parents what Zhanliu said to him.

When Mr. Yang and his wife came here this time, they truly recognized Zhan Liu as Jimmy's master, not just a teacher in a martial arts gym.

Not only did they express their gratitude verbally, but they also brought a apprenticeship ceremony, hoping that Jimmy could officially worship Zhanliu as his master, a traditional master-disciple relationship in which Zhanliu would be able to support him until his death.

But what they had in mind was pretty good, and Zhan Liu was not accepted by everyone.

So Zhanliu clearly stated his criteria for accepting apprentices. If Jimmy could get started within the time limit, he would be a talent, and he would be willing to take him in. If he couldn't, then all interviews would be held.

Seeing that he was resolute, Mr. Yang and his wife stopped forcing him. They just hoped that Zhanliu would strictly demand Jimmy, hitting him when he needed to and scolding him when he needed to.

In order to dispel Zhanliu's doubts, Mr. Yang even wrote an authorization letter and disclaimer on the spot.

Zhan Liu couldn't laugh or cry about this, but he did feel the sincerity of the two.

After sending Mr. Yang and his wife away, Zhan Liu took Jimmy to the courtyard and expressed his attitude to everyone in public, forbidding anyone to discriminate against Jimmy in any form, otherwise the door wall would be removed.

Of course, he does not force others to stay here. Those who do not want to stay can leave on their own.

In fact, there may be many people who are disgusted with mutants, but those who really have a sworn relationship with mutants often have family members who have been harmed by mutants. Even if ordinary people don't like mutants, it won't affect them.

’s future and prospects.

The minor turmoil was resolved, but a few days later, he received an invitation letter, signed by Charles Xavier.
