"Oh?"
If even Magneto called them promising, then those two children's talents had to be exceptional.
For a moment, even Emma, the White Queen seated beside Fenris, instinctively tilted her head and looked toward Magneto.
After being injected with the lizard serum and spending several days recuperating, Emma's leg had slowly grown back. The fair, delicate skin looked no different from her original long leg.
That morning, after learning that Professor X had messaged Fenris to say the coordinates would soon be deciphered and asked Fenris to come find him in the classroom, Emma had been idle with nothing else to do. Under the grand excuse of needing to move her body, she had followed Fenris all the way here.
"Emma?"
Magneto raised an eyebrow in surprise, then glanced at Fenris, who was sitting leisurely on his left and yawning. "Why are you here?"
"My leg still has not fully recovered. I can only rest for a few more days."
Emma shrugged and spread her hands as if utterly helpless. "You know me. I have always been in poor health."
"Is your injury not healed yet, or do you simply not want to leave the academy?"
Magneto gave Emma a deep look.
"Who knows?"
Emma gave a soft hum and lay comfortably across the desk, the corner of her eye constantly sweeping over the person beside her.
"What kind of children are they, Erik? Did you bring them here?"
On the other side, Professor X jumped down from the nearly five-meter ladder with a thump. He turned and walked toward Magneto as he asked, "Where are they now?"
"Right outside the door, Charles."
When these two children were mentioned, Magneto still felt a considerable headache.
Strictly speaking, this was all his fault for being too indulgent when he was young.
Now, after destroying Bolivar's Sokovia base, he had accidentally dug up an old mess of his from who knew how many years ago.
On top of that, he did not feel at ease leaving both children with the Brotherhood. Xavier's School, where Fenris and Charles were both present, had naturally become his best option for the moment.
"Erik, you... sigh."
Charles's gaze drifted lightly across his old friend's face, and in the blink of an eye, he understood everything.
After sighing in exasperation, as though disappointed in a hopeless student, he called directly toward the door, "Children, come in."
"Hello, Professor. I'm Wanda Maximoff."
"Hello, Professor. I'm Wanda's older brother, Pietro Maximoff."
"Hello."
A young man's and a young woman's voices sounded one after another from the doorway. The next moment, two young people who looked around the same age as Fenris slowly walked into the classroom.
After politely greeting him, the siblings looked with curiosity at this mutant giant whose name stood alongside their father's.
As one of the most widely known leaders of mutantkind, Professor X's reputation was something Wanda and Pietro had heard of long ago.
Now that they were meeting him face-to-face for the first time, Charles's gentle response finally eased a little of the tension in their hearts.
"Wanda, didn't the rumors say Professor X was crippled?"
Standing behind his sister, Pietro muttered quietly to Wanda, "How come he not only isn't in a wheelchair, but also looks so much younger than he does in the photos?"
"Shut up, Pietro. That is incredibly rude."
Wanda shot a fierce glare at her unreliable brother, then turned back and gave Professor X an apologetic smile.
"It is all right."
Charles shook his head unconcernedly.
In his eyes, they were even a little younger than Fenris, nothing more than children who still did not understand the world.
"Charles, these two children are both extremely gifted. But because they grew up in a small country all this time, they lack experience, and they do not know how to control their own powers."
Magneto's voice sounded at just the right time, carrying a clear note of helplessness. "It took me a great deal of effort to persuade the children's mother and bring the whole family here. I hope you can help me teach them properly."
"All right. I will arrange living quarters for the children's mother and for both of them."
Professor X gently withdrew his gaze from the two children and nodded, agreeing to Magneto's request.
"Awesome!"
"Does that mean I can meet the legendary X-Men?"
After receiving Professor X's affirmative answer, excitement suddenly flashed across Pietro's face. For a moment, he was so happy that he jumped straight up from where he stood.
"Cyclops, Storm, and Beast. They are all at the school, right?"
Ever since Magneto had found him and told him about his origins, Pietro, who was restless by nature, had long since been unable to hold back his urge to meet the superheroes from those stories.
Professor X only felt a gust of wind brush past him. Pietro's figure instantly turned into an afterimage and vanished from where he stood.
For a time, the enormous classroom was filled with the sound of wind stirred up by his excited sprinting.
"Pietro!"
Seeing his son acting so impulsively, Magneto, who was seated in his chair, immediately furrowed his brows deeply.
After barking his name, he suddenly reached out, and an invisible force instantly enveloped the entire classroom.
A startled cry rang out. The next moment, Pietro's figure appeared again, his entire body floating in midair as Magneto dragged him up like a kitten.
The chaotic commotion finally settled down.
"You should properly learn what basic manners are, child."
Hearing her father lecturing her brother, Wanda sighed speechlessly, only then finally having the time to look around the classroom.
In the last few rows, several young men and women were quietly gathered together, doing their own things as if no one else were present.
Although they were all young, and some of them were even carrying quite a few injuries, their presence was sharp and fierce. They looked like warriors who had survived many battlefields.
"They are all so strong."
Wanda keenly sensed a faint feeling of danger from these people. She did not dare look at them for too long and gently moved her gaze away.
Further forward, to her father's left, sat a young man about her age.
The young man had handsome features. Beneath his seemingly gentle appearance, however, Wanda sensed a deeply hidden aura of danger.
Gentle, yet violent.
Calm, yet dangerous.
A beautiful woman with an elegant air and pale skin was lying quietly on the desk, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the young man beside her.
The young man, however, completely ignored that heated stare, as though all his attention had already been placed on the glowing object in his palm.
"What a strange person."
For some reason, Wanda always felt as though there was an inexplicable attraction around the young man, drawing her gaze toward him unconsciously.
"Hello, Wanda."
As if noticing her gaze, Wanda saw the young man raise his eyes slightly toward her and reveal a gentle smile. "My name is Fenris. I'm a teacher at the academy."
"Hello, Professor Fenris."
Wanda blinked lightly.
