Hours later, when Charles arrived at Stark Tower to pick up his students, he saw that Stark had hung a sign saying "Mutants not allowed" on his laboratory door.
Charles, who knew the whole story, was also helpless. As a highly educated mutant, he could understand Stark's anger. Whenever he communicated with these second-generation mutants, it was like talking to a wall because they had never received any formal education.
Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters was supposed to be a school, but it was more like a retirent ho. The school taught students how to control and develop their powers, not knowledge. This resulted in these mutants, who should have been in college, having empty heads and not knowing anything.
To be honest, the students at Xavier's School were considered good. At least Iceman could follow Banner's instructions and produce results that were almost satisfactory. Mutants like Polaris, who had no education and had a bad temper, were especially impatient. They could really drive a scholar-type personality crazy.
Charles knew better than anyone that this was not a solution. When everyone was on Earth, whether or not they learned knowledge didn't matter much because their abilities were already powerful enough. But when humans entered the Space Age, knowledge beca the first productive force. The average education level of mutants was only equivalent to that of a fetus. This was only because Charles had raised the average level. When they really entered the Space Age, one or two powerful mutants would not be enough. Improving basic education for mutants was imperative.
But promoting basic education in any region or race was extrely difficult. Charles thought about it all night and had no results, so he went to drink with Schiller.
It wasn't to drown his sorrows in alcohol, but he hoped to hear Schiller's new ideas. After all, he keenly felt that Schiller didn't have the sa hatred for mutants as ordinary people did. Perhaps from a different perspective, he could find a new way.
"Charles, can I call you that? I think the problem is that your moral standards are too high."
"What do you an?"
In Schiller's thinking hall, Charles asked while holding a glass of wine. Schiller shook his head and said, "You don't want to do bad things with your abilities, and I understand that because you do have a noble character."
"But just because your abilities are so powerful, why give up using them completely when doing good things? When you use them for good, why do you have to consider how powerful they are?"
Charles seed to have thought of sothing and asked, "Are you saying..."
"You want to promote education and teach them knowledge so that they can keep up with the tis. This is a good thing."
"Even if they don't use the knowledge they learn, it won't hurt to keep it in their minds. From any perspective, it's not harmful to them. So why can't you take advantage of the advantage of your abilities?"
"I know that the difficulty of promoting basic education among mutants lies in the fact that their positions are not consistent. You can't completely convince Magneto, nor can you make him disband the Brotherhood. But you want to teach his subordinates knowledge. You want to strengthen them. Why would he refuse?"
"More importantly, this doesn't take up their dayti. They can do whatever they want during the day, play, fall in love, and just need to dream at night to learn the essence of human knowledge. What could be better than this?"
"If I had such a good thing when I was studying, I would wake up laughing from my dreams. I think you would too, right?"
Charles gradually relaxed his eyebrows and said, "There is another problem. Even if I can instill knowledge in them, if I don't understand this knowledge myself, I can't teach it."
"And, the output and input of human thinking both have limits. I can't cram so much knowledge into their minds at once, or it will cause them to have a ntal breakdown."
Schiller smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "I think you can create a school in the consciousness space and pull their consciousness in to let them learn."
"As for the problem of knowledge, you don't have to teach it yourself. Now, so of the world's top scientists are waiting there. You can also let them enter the dream and let them be the teachers. Who in this world knows more about the essence of human knowledge than them?"
Charles nodded and said, "Indeed, whether it's Stark or the others, they are all top scientists. I know they all teach at the most famous universities. To hear their lectures, you have to at least get into schools like Harvard and MIT..."
"That's right. The world's smartest geniuses teaching mutants. Where else can you find such a good thing?"
But Charles still hesitated and said, "The trouble caused by Polaris and the others before made Stark very angry. Will he..."
"It's okay. They are young and are Stark's juniors. As long as they apologize, Stark won't hold a grudge."
"The problem is here." Charles sighed and said, "The others are fine, but Polaris has the sa temper as her father..."
"Professor, you just need to explain your purpose to Magneto. You need to emphasize to him that you want Polaris to go to school to learn knowledge, and to learn with Stark. Even if Polaris doesn't want to, Magneto will make her apologize by holding her head."
Charles glanced at Schiller and said, "You seem to know Erik well?"
Schiller shook his head and said, "This is not a difficult thing to guess. Any parent in the world is like this. They hope their children can get what they didn't get."
"Previously, you told about Magneto's experience. He didn't have many opportunities for education, but that can only be said to be a tragedy of the tis. He is not unwilling to learn, but he didn't have the chance. People always regret and desire what they don't have. If he could achieve it through his own children, he would definitely do his best."
"The people who understand the importance of education the most in this world are those who have benefited from education and changed their social status because of it, and those who have not received education but have improved their social status through other abilities and realized that education is the shortcut."
Charles nodded and said, "Erik belongs to the second type. He has self-taught a lot of knowledge related to physics, so he can use magnetism so skillfully."
"And even though we have had many conflicts before, he has never laid a hand on Xavier's School campus."
"In fact, I once urged him to get a degree, which is not difficult for him. But you also know that when we reach this point, so things are no longer up to us. We represent our own position and also represent the group of people standing on this position. Besides being responsible for ourselves, we must also be responsible for them."
As Charles spoke, he beca a little emotional. He said, "So many years have passed, and we have gone from being the ones leading others forward to being pushed forward."
This seed to be a pun, and Schiller glanced at Charles's legs and asked, "So, is this why you are reluctant to stand up?"
"After all, a victim always evokes sympathy, and a disabled person is more likely to make people relax their guard..."
A day later, Charles built a very beautiful school in his consciousness space. Although it looked exactly like Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, the tiles on the walls were a different color. But it was undeniable that this was a very standard school.
His plan went very smoothly. Everyone who was willing or unwilling to listen to the lectures was pulled over by him. In this regard, no one could resist Charles.
Because this was indeed doing a good thing, Charles had no psychological burden of abusing his power. Everyone realized that it was best to listen obediently.
As Schiller had predicted, although Magneto never took off his helt and guarded against Charles like a thief, when he heard that Charles was going to send Polaris to study, he did not object. He even let him take Wanda and Quicksilver with him.
Originally, Wanda and Quicksilver were supposed to co, but Wanda was not on Earth at the mont, so only Quicksilver ca.
Magneto had a bad relationship with his children, but because his relationship with Wanda and Quicksilver was worse, his relationship with Polaris was okay.
Polaris had the sa temper as Magneto, and when she learned that she was going to be forced to study at school, she chose to run away from ho decisively. She even wanted to persuade Shockwave and Iceman to leave with her.
Unfortunately, in this regard, Magneto and Charles reached a consensus. When these two mutant leaders reached a consensus, there was nothing in this world that could stop them. So, Polaris was still brought over.
At this ti, she was biting her pen, propping her head with one hand, and tapping the table with the other. She looked at the sky, the ground, and the table, but not the blackboard. Sotis she turned her head to chat with Shockwave, and sotis she whispered to Quicksilver.
Banner was giving a lecture above, and when he saw Polaris's small movents, he didn't care. As a professor, he had seen too many students like this, who didn't listen in class, didn't turn in howork, and prayed to the gods and buddhas when it ca to final exams.
Banner was just invited to give a lecture. He was not a mutant, so he was not responsible for the future of mutants, so he didn't care whether these students listened or not.
But Charles frowned and was sowhat dissatisfied with the situation in the classroom.
In fact, the knowledge Banner was teaching was not difficult. He started with the basics of physics. But it seed that these mutant students had not developed good study habits, so even if they were trying to listen carefully, they were habitually distracted.
During the day, Charles stayed in his office, thinking about how to reverse this situation and improve the students' enthusiasm. It was at this ti that he received a call from Stark. Before Stark could speak, Charles said:
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Stark. It's true that they didn't control their temper well, which caused the exploration work to fail..."
"Oh, no, I called to say that I misunderstood mutants a bit. My attitude was not good before. Your students did a really good job this ti..."
Charles was a little confused. He said, "What? What did they do so well?"
He thought Stark was being sarcastic, but Stark's tone revealed genuine excitent. He said, "It's the kids you sent to work with Spider-Man before. Do you know what they did?"
"...What?"
"They directly brought back a Kree warship! It's now parked on the edge of the Solar System!"
