Something Big Happened Again (Sunday First Update)

I'm telling the truth, Guan Heng said. Your laser beams are astonishingly powerful, especially the last strike. The force of it startled me so much that my arm still can't be lifted because I took the brunt of that thick beam.

What Guan Heng said wasn't entirely flattery for Cyclops. According to the original comic, Scott's laser beams were said to be capable of destroying an asteroid at their maximum power, but in the movie version, his abilities were significantly weakened.

Haha, Guan Heng, you're too kind. Scott was swayed by Guan Heng's continuous praise and gradually returned to his normal self, shaking off the dejection of defeat.

Actually, my victory was a fluke. I also relied on the fact that you didn't unleash your full strength, Guan Heng said. Don't think I don't know, the power of your red beams is far greater than this. Ten percent of your power could at least flatten this mountain. I should thank you for holding back.

Naturally. Scott was completely fooled by Guan Heng. He felt lightheaded. Yes, I also had to consider the surroundings. After all, there were other people from the academy here.

Cyclops possessed exceptional leadership talent. He served as the captain of the X-Men for a long time, then succeeded Professor X as the dean of X Academy, and became the leader of almost all mutants. He's also a good friend worth befriending, Guan Heng thought.

Let's find a bar sometime and have a good drink, Guan Heng said, patting his shoulder affectionately. Of course, I'm treating. Don't you dare try to pay.

Alright. It's great talking to you, Scott said, shaking Guan Heng's hand firmly. I've made you my friend.

Chatting and laughing with Scott, the two showed no signs of having just fought. They looked like old friends who had known each other for years. Because Guan Heng knew a lot about the movies and comics, he knew a lot about Scott and the X-Men, so he was very clear about each person's personality, and there was no barrier in their conversations. Even Professor X smiled and nodded as he listened to them chat.

A moment later, led by the Professor, everyone returned to the school hall. Jean Grey, who had returned earlier, had already prepared snacks and drinks.

After a few pleasantries, the Professor changed the subject and got to the point: Guan Heng, I'd like to invite you to be a special appointed teacher at the academy. Are you interested? I hope you can teach these lovely children.

Me? Guan Heng had some reservations. What could I teach them? He pondered, stroking his chin, and replied, Professor, I don't know much, and my education level isn't high. I'm afraid I don't have the ability to teach the children. There's a saying in Huaxia, "Mislead Disciples." I'm afraid I would delay them if I became a teacher at the academy.

No, Professor X said with a smile. You don't need to teach the children any difficult or obscure knowledge. You just need to teach them how to be upright and humorous people. Because the psychological guidance of these children is also very important. I can see that you have a cheerful personality and are full of sunshine. You can illuminate their hearts.

You praise me too much. Guan Heng felt a little embarrassed. He finally nodded. Alright, I accept. But I'll need to return to New York City from time to time. Please don't blame me for skipping work and classes.

Guan Heng's words made everyone present burst into laughter. They were all exceptionally happy.

Honestly, your willingness to join the academy's teaching staff has solved many problems, the Professor sighed. Right now, only Qin, Aololo, Scott, and I are teaching the children. Logan, that rough guy, you know him. He only knows how to fight. We can't rely on him for anything else. So your joining can also alleviate the shortage of teachers.

Thinking of Wolverine Logan's demeanor, how could he be equated with being a role model in the classroom? Guan Heng couldn't help but chuckle.

But looking at the crow's feet at the corners of the Professor's eyes and his slightly tired expression, Guan Heng suddenly felt the greatness of a teacher. He knew that this old man, who had dedicated his life to the harmonious coexistence of mutants and normal people, had a difficult path.

It seems the Professor works very hard, Guan Heng thought. I'll share some of his burden, and I can also see Qianhuan and the others often. This job isn't bad. Honestly, I prefer it here to being an agent at S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Professor said happily at this moment: Jean, Ororo, go prepare. We're having a party tonight to celebrate Guan Heng becoming one of us.

Alright! The X-Men cheered in unison, because Guan Heng was indeed a likable and humorous friend.

Beep beep beep. Guan Heng's watch communicator flashed a red light. He stood up: Excuse me, Professor, everyone. I need to step out to take a call.

What's wrong, Peter? Guan Heng opened the communicator, and Spider-Man's face appeared as a holographic image. He immediately felt that something unusual must have happened.

Something terrible has happened, Guan Heng. Spider-Man said anxiously. This morning, the Mayor of New York City was meeting with the President, who happened to be passing by, at City Hall. Both of them were attacked simultaneously.

What? Guan Heng broke out in a sweat. The Mayor is just a nobody, but the President is a nominal big shot of the US. An attack on him is a serious matter that could trigger a chain reaction at any moment. I'm afraid both allied nations and hostile forces are watching from afar.

"What exactly is going on?" Guan Heng asked.

"The known situation is that the attacker can teleport. Whether it's a superpower or high technology is unknown," Spider-Man said, sounding somewhat embarrassed. "He can easily disappear and reappear within everyone's line of sight. S.H.I.E.L.D. has ordered all agents for an emergency assembly. Director Fury pressured me for your whereabouts, and I couldn't hold out, so I told him about you going to X Academy."

"Damn it, you traitor, you m-traitor!" Guan Heng cursed. His mind raced as he thought: I remember there was a Nightcrawler, also called Azazel, in the movies and comics. Only he has the ability to teleport. I just don't know his maximum movement distance.

"Get out of the way!" A ruthless hand pushed Spider-Man's face aside. Nick Fury appeared in the center of the screen. "Exorcist kid, get back here immediately. I have a mission for you to carry out."

"Why are you looking for me?" Guan Heng asked. "New York City has Spider-Man and Iron Man. You old horse, why are you leaving the green grass by your mouth to go over the hillside to eat sand?" He was implicitly calling Fury a mule and horse beast, but the other party didn't understand.

"But their speed can't catch the teleporting villain," Fury snorted.

"Then I can't catch him even more!" Guan Heng blurted out. "Are you looking for the wrong person?"

"But you have that Swift Big Bug!" Fury spat on the screen. "Don't think I don't know, at least with the bug you're riding, you can keep up with him. And by the way, the culprit has a tracker on him. It's currently 2:20 AM. Old Sha uploaded the first update he just coded. Please give us collection recommendations."
