……
After being officially appointed as the school's psychology professor by Professor X, George began helping everyone gradually improve their abilities.
This also includes Hank the Beast, allowing Hank to switch between normal and beastly forms without the aid of medication.
Just as he was halfway through, the school's supersonic plane landed, and Magneto stepped out, controlling a ferocious, profanity-spewing Wolverine.
"Charles, the history teacher you were looking for, I've brought it back to you."
But he seems to have amnesia, and he needs you to help him regain some memories.”
It turned out that after returning to the school, Professor X reviewed the memories of the captured Trask, thus learning about the situation of Wolverine being captured and transformed into an X-Gene weapon.
It was because Wolverine himself had come from the future to change history that he helped them in the first place, so how could he watch him being captured and do nothing about it?
Magneto and Mystique immediately coordinated, and spent the night entering Trask's base to rescue him back to the school.
Just in time, it also fills the gap for the history teacher position.
"Logan, relax."
Professor X walked over to Wolverine, reached out and placed his hand on Wolverine's forehead, and began helping Wolverine regain the lost memories.
As the memories slowly returned, Wolverine's expression also calmed down.
On the other hand, Professor X and Magneto were having a conversation with Wolverine, while Jean also approached George voluntarily.
"Professor George, can you help me?"
Compared to the harm caused by her power out of control, the harm caused by other students' power out of control is like a drop in the ocean.
When her ability was just awakening, she had lifted all the cars on the street.
Even after coming to the School for Gifted Youngsters and with Professor X's help, her powers were somewhat controlled, but when they occasionally went out of control, they nearly destroyed the entire school.
So even within the School for Gifted Youngsters, she was still seen as an outsider by other mutant students.
Now seeing that Professor George could make everyone's powers stable and under control, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.
"Of course!"
George reached out naturally and placed his hand on Jean's head.
On the other side, Professor X immediately turned his gaze over after discovering that George was helping Jean stabilize her abilities.
He knew that Jean possessed a powerful potential and strength beyond that of him and Magneto, so he naturally held her in high regard.
That would be wonderful if George could solve Jean's problem.
"Jean, your condition is quite complicated."
George pretends to furrow his brow, and Jean's hope is immediately dashed.
"But it's not necessarily unresolvable."
With George's next sentence, hope rose again on Jean's face.
Before she could ask, Professor X walked over to ask for her himself.
"What's going on, George?"
"That is, I found two types of power existing within Jean's body.
One is the power generated by the mutant genes, which I have stabilized for her so that she can control it freely.
However, there is also a stronger force, which is not derived from mutant genes and cannot be controlled.
George explained patiently.
Professor X suddenly understood. No wonder he had always been helping Jean with psychological counseling, but the power within her could never be fully controlled.
It seems there is another external force causing chaos.
"You just said you could solve it?"
"Yes, I have an ability to neutralize powers, but the power within Jean is too strong. It might take a long time to completely neutralize it."
"But I don't know if Jean is willing to give up this power."
George turned to look at Jean, who immediately nodded her head up and down like a chicken pecking at grains.
"Yes, I'm very willing!"
Not only can she accept the removal of that extra power, but even if all mutant powers were taken away and she became a complete ordinary person, she could still accept it.
She has been tortured by this power for too long.
"Since you're willing, you have to believe in the teacher, because only when you are sufficiently trusting and not resisting, can the teacher more easily help neutralize the power within you, allowing you to perfectly control your abilities."
George touched the top of Jean's head, and she nodded with determination.
"That's it, Jean's side is almost done."
Trust isn't something that can be established with just a few words.
He believes that as long as Jean feels the Phoenix power in her body is gradually decreasing, and its influence on her is also weakening, naturally, she will become more and more trusting towards him.
The more she trusts him, the less resistance she will have, the more Phoenix power he can consume, and Jean will also trust him more. This is a positive cycle.
"Next is Scarlet Witch, Wanda."
"You can't put all your eggs in one basket."
Absorbing Jean's Phoenix power will be enough to let him break through to the single universe level.
But some things are uncertain for everyone.
To be safe, he believes that the Chaos Power of Scarlet Witch Wanda cannot be abandoned, so it should be done simultaneously.
He won't mind if the power is too little.
That night, in the Mutant School's conference room, all adult mutants were gathered together: Professor X, Magneto, Beast, Cable, Mystique, Quicksilver, Wolverine, and George.
"I have already discussed with Erik, and we have decided to officially establish the Mutant Empire, no longer just a school."
"We will be on equal footing with human nations, engage in equal communication, and prevent them from capturing mutants at will for experiments."
As soon as Professor X finished speaking, Magneto followed up immediately:
"When necessary, we will also reveal our weapons, making it clear to human nations that the consequences of provoking us are not comparable to those of a superpower with nuclear weapons."
"That's right, he's not wrong, but that should be done when necessary."
This time, Professor X did not entirely oppose Magneto; instead, he nodded helplessly.
Even if he had received a warning from a powerful being from another universe, he still had not made up his mind and had not fully agreed to the Mutant Empire plan proposed by Magneto.
It was not until he reviewed Trask's memories, combined with the memories of Wolverine who had come back from the future that he had seen before.
Only then did he understand that perhaps the powerful being from another universe was right; humans could never fully accept mutants.
If that's the case, there's no need to keep pretending to be nice and following human laws.
It might be better to establish our own Mutant Empire, create our own laws and regulations, and build a society of our own.
This way, after graduation, Mutant students wouldn't have to go through the trouble of hiding their powers and living as ordinary people; instead, they could naturally enter a perfect society entirely built by mutants, earning a living and money with their knowledge and mutant abilities.
"I agree!"
George was the first to raise his hand in agreement, this was exactly the result he wanted to see.
If things really turned out that way, he wouldn't mind lending a hand, not just in stabilizing the students' abilities but also in developing their powers, which would greatly enhance the strength of the Mutant Empire.
