Chapter 81 Aesthetic Unity, Professor X's Wooing

Thank you for taking care of Clarice?

After hearing Richard's answer, Professor X immediately showed a surprised expression.

Although Richard's proposal was a bit sudden, he quickly made a decision.

Richard is very powerful!

To be precise, he is stronger than Cyclops, Storm and Wolverine combined.

If he was willing to take action to stop the out-of-control Phoenix Girl, it would definitely be a good thing for them.

Professor X couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

"It would be great if you were willing to help stop the out-of-control Jean."

Professor X didn't waste any brain cells trying to guess what Richard's purpose was, and spoke directly.

"You're welcome. I've already said this before. This is my way of thanking you for taking care of Clarice."

Richard replied quickly.

Of course, he couldn't tell Professor X that his main purpose was to defeat the out-of-control Phoenix Girl and get the system's mission reward.

Thank them for taking care of Clarice, and I was just returning the favor.

Although he didn't know whether Richard had other purposes, after hearing his answer, Professor X was tactful and didn't continue to ask questions.

At the same time, the idea of ​​bringing Richard into the X-Men was once again raised.

It would be great if he was also an X-Man!

Professor X sighed in his heart.

But soon, he put this unrealistic fantasy behind him.

For most mutants, joining the X-Men is indeed a happy thing.

As long as there is a chance to join the X-Men, they will join without hesitation.

But unfortunately, Richard happens to be one of the small number of mutants who are not interested in the X-Men.

In addition, Professor X always felt that Richard was more interested in Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants than the X-Men.

He had this feeling because the day after Magneto took Wanda and Pietro away, he called this lonely old man and showed off to him that he had children, and they were twins.

While showing off that he had a child, Magneto also told him that Wanda and Pietro were rescued by Richard from the Hellfire Club's research institute.

On the surface, Magneto is simply explaining that Wanda and Pietro were rescued by Richard.

But Professor X knew that this was not Magneto's purpose.

As good friends who have loved and hated each other for decades, he knew very well why Magneto called him specifically.

In addition to showing off to this lonely old man that he has a pair of twin children, Magneto also hinted that he has a good relationship with Richard, and maybe one day he will recruit Richard into the Mutant Brotherhood.

Neither Professor X nor Magneto has ever given up the idea of ​​winning over Richard.

However, none of them could figure out how to get Richard to their side.

"I never thought that you, Richard, were a purely bad person."

"Of course, some of your actions, in my opinion, are indeed too extreme."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you are willing to help stop Qin, I will leave it to you from now on."

Professor X looked at Richard and said slowly.

"I will try my best."

Richard nodded.

After talking about Phoenix Girl, he chatted with Professor X about trivial matters for more than ten minutes.

"Richard, this is your first time at school. I'll let Clarice show you around the school."

Professor X said with a smile.

"Okay, please."

Richard replied quickly.

"What's the trouble? Richard, you don't need to be so polite to me."

"Although you are not a student of the school, the school welcomes you to come anytime."

"If you like, you can live in school directly."

Professor X looked at Richard kindly and spoke slowly.

Although Professor X said it very tactfully, Richard knew that Professor X still had not given up the idea of ​​winning him over.

But this is normal.

If he were Professor X, he would not give up on winning over others.

No one will complain about having too much money, and no one will complain about having too many talented people in the organization.

Richard thought that Professor X would directly use telepathy to call Clarice over.

Unexpectedly, Professor X took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed Phoenix's number.

The call was quickly connected, and Professor X said to the Phoenix girl on the other end of the phone:

"Jin, please ask Clarice to come to the office."

After hanging up the phone, Professor X said to Richard:

"Do you think that what I'm doing is a bit unnecessary? Why do I have to use more troublesome means to solve a problem that can be solved with a telepathic telepathy?"

"A little bit."

Richard replied.

After hearing his answer, Professor X continued: "Superpowers are indeed very convenient, but if you rely on superpowers for everything, you will gradually develop a habit of abusing superpowers."

"Not only that, frequent use of superpowers will also attract the jealousy of others."

"People outside discriminate against mutants. On the one hand, it's because some mutants look different from ordinary people. On the other hand, it's because people are jealous of the superpowers that mutants possess."

"Jealousy is human nature!"

"Not just ordinary people, mutants as well."

A few minutes after Professor X finished speaking, Phoenix brought Clarice to the office.

Clarice's appearance hadn't changed much from a few months ago.

However, she now looks more energetic and confident than she did a few months ago.

"Clarice, you and Richard are old friends. Please take Richard to visit the school." Professor X said to Clarice.

"Okay, Professor."

Clarice replied immediately.

"Then I won't bother you, Professor."

Richard stood up and said to Professor X.

"No need to bother, go and visit the school."

Professor X said with a smile.

Richard and Clarice nodded and left the office.

"Are you used to living in school?" Richard asked Clarice immediately after leaving the office.

"Yeah, the classmates in the school are very friendly, and Teacher Qin and the others have taught us a lot."

"By the way, my current space gate can be opened up to 100 kilometers."

An expression of "hurry up and praise me" appeared on Clarice's delicate, fair face.

"Not bad, great progress."

Although Clarice's progress was nothing in his opinion, Richard still praised her sincerely.

After hearing his praise, Clarice immediately showed a happy expression and took him to visit the school like a guide.

Except for the X-Men base under the school, Clarice took Richard to visit all other places.

Classrooms, libraries, basketball courts, restaurants, dormitories, gardens, garages...

During the school tour, Richard and Clarice unsurprisingly attracted a lot of attention from students.

Even without using telepathy, Richard could tell that many male students looked at him with jealousy and envy.

Although Clarice has a typical oriental appearance and her figure is not as hot and sexy as European and American girls of the same age.

But there is a saying that goes, when beauty reaches a certain level, aesthetic tastes will be completely unified!

It is obvious that Clarice is the kind of beauty who can unify people's aesthetic tastes.

After noticing the jealous looks from the male students around him, Richard immediately started teasing Clarice.

"It seems that in the past few months, your gains have not only increased the maximum distance of the space gate, but also gained a lot of suitors."

"No! I don't have any suitors at school. I'm still single and not in a relationship!"

As soon as Richard finished speaking, Clarice became as excited as a cat whose tail was stepped on, and immediately replied.

At the same time, she looked at Richard with her big light green eyes, as if to say, "If you don't believe me, you're dead."

The changes are really huge!

After seeing Clarice's expression, Richard sighed in his heart.

If it was three months ago, Clarice would definitely not have shown such an expression.

In the past, she followed the saber-toothed tiger and hid from place to place. She didn’t have many opportunities to interact with girls of the same age, let alone have a so-called best friend.

After living with her peers in the mutant school for three months, she successfully "recovered" to the appearance she should have at this age.

Looking at Clarice in front of him, Richard said seriously: "If you don't have any suitors, then I'll be the one who has a headache."

"Why?" Clarice looked puzzled.

Under Clarice's gaze, Richard said slowly, "Because it would make me look bad, or my aesthetic taste different from that of ordinary people, and I would fall in love with an ugly woman that other men don't like."

what?

Clarice was stunned.

Then, a shy blush immediately appeared on her delicate, fair, oval face.

Although she had no experience in love, just like Richard who took a strong interest in her at first sight, she also took a strong interest in Richard at first sight.

At the age of first falling in love, if she didn't feel moved at all when she met a handsome and strong man of the same age as her, it would be abnormal.

Not to mention that Richard saved her life.

Although she and Sabretooth were caught, it was mainly because they met Richard, which led to their whereabouts being exposed.

But it was obvious that she didn't care about that.

"you like me?"

Clarice asked shyly.

Looking at Clarice's blushing face, a sentence immediately flashed through Richard's mind.

There are not many truths in this world. A woman's blush is better than a long dialogue.

Richard knew what kind of answer Clarice wanted to hear, but after seeing how shy she was at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel the urge to tease her.

"No, you heard me wrong. What I just said was that no one chases ugly girls."

Ugly?

Clarice, who was expecting Richard to admit it again, was stunned for a moment when she heard the answer, then puffed up her cheeks.
