Psychic Powers Are a Perfect Match for the Encouragement Fruit

"As you can see, Mr. Xavier, these are Devil Fruits."

Rosha nodded from the side. "I'm sure Dr. Zhao told you about them, right? Every one of these fruits can grant someone a superpower."

"Yes, Dr. Zhao introduced these miraculous fruits to me. I never imagined such extraordinary things existed in this world."

"Then, Shopkeeper, could I trouble you to introduce these Devil Fruits to me?"

Professor X made the request of Rosha with great politeness.

Rosha took out the catalog and handed it to Professor X. "Mr. Xavier, please look through the catalog first. Once you find one you like, I'll introduce it to you in detail."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper!"

Professor X accepted the catalog from Rosha and began browsing through it carefully.

Then Rosha saw Professor X's eyes light up, his face filled with astonishment.

The countless strange and miraculous Devil Fruits seemed to have given Professor X an entirely new understanding of the world, leaving him clicking his tongue in wonder.

"How amazing. How unbelievable."

As he read, Professor X could not help voicing his amazement.

Rosha said nothing. He simply stood there with a smile, enjoying the sight of Professor X, like every other customer, being stunned by the Devil Fruits.

Honestly, it was rather amusing.

"A fruit that inspires people? Very good."

After looking for several minutes, Professor X's gaze settled on one fruit in the catalog, and he nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. Xavier, you mean the Encouragement Fruit, right? Just as its name suggests, the Encouragement Fruit can stir up other people's emotions and inspire them."

With Rosha's knowledge of Devil Fruits, he immediately knew which fruit Professor X meant.

"Mr. Xavier, are you interested in the Encouragement Fruit?"

Rosha looked at Professor X curiously again.

"I'm a teacher. My daily work consists of lecturing and teaching. I was wondering whether, if I ate the Encouragement Fruit, my classes might become more effective."

Professor X looked at Rosha expectantly as he spoke.

"Of course." Rosha nodded without hesitation. "Although it is called the Encouragement Fruit, its effects are not limited to encouragement. As I said, it can stir up other people's emotions."

"Those emotions can be enthusiasm for class, courage in one's heart, positive energy, or, naturally, negative and dark emotions."

"In short, once someone eats the Encouragement Fruit, other people's emotions become like switches in the user's hands, ready to be controlled at will."

"A very good fruit!"

Professor X smiled, clearly extremely satisfied. "It seems my classes will become very, very exciting from now on. Then, Shopkeeper, I'll take this Encouragement Fruit."

Professor X's own ability was psychic control. He could read other people's memories and control their thoughts.

But Professor X's control was a simple and forceful kind of control. Once he controlled someone, they became nothing more than a puppet on his strings.

In other words, Professor X could control people, but he could not influence them.

This left Professor X caught between two extremes: either he controlled someone completely, or he left them entirely alone. The area between those two extremes was beyond his reach.

But now, the Encouragement Fruit made up for precisely that weakness.

From another perspective, Professor X's psychic abilities allowed him to sense other people's emotions with ease.

He would barely need to develop this fruit at all. He would be able to use it skillfully from the moment he got it.

In terms of compatibility alone, the Encouragement Fruit and Professor X's psychic powers complemented one another perfectly.

"Mr. Xavier, this fruit is indeed very suitable for your profession. The Encouragement Fruit will be two million dollars."

"Shopkeeper, I'll pay by card."

The two quickly completed the transaction.

Rosha took out the Encouragement Fruit and handed it to Professor X.

Professor X wasted no words. Right in front of Rosha, he took a bite of the Encouragement Fruit.

"This feeling... so this is a Devil Fruit?"

"Truly incredible!"

Feeling the wondrous changes taking place within his body, Professor X could not help clicking his tongue in amazement again.

He felt that he had exclaimed in wonder more times today than he had in the entire previous year.

After the transaction was complete, Rosha added Professor X to the group as usual.

Shopkeeper: "@Everyone, our Devil Fruit Household has welcomed another new family member. Everyone, give him a warm welcome."

Charles Xavier: "Hello, everyone. I'm Charles Xavier, a scholar specializing in genetic mutations. I'm very pleased to meet you all."

Vanessa: "Wade, no matter what you want to say, shut up and think before you speak!"

Vanessa: "Wow, another intellectual has joined the group? And he researches genetic mutations too. He sounds amazing."

Zhao Hailun: "Professor Xavier, I knew it was you. Welcome to our big family!"

Zhao Hailun: "Also, everyone, Professor Xavier is being modest. He is an absolute authority in his field. He was already a professor at Oxford University in his twenties."

Everyone in the group gasped.

Becoming a professor at such a world-class institution in his twenties—this was a true big shot.

There was no arguing with that.

Wade Wilson: "Holy crap, you became a professor in your twenties? Damn, when I was in my twenties, I was still playing with fl—whew, good thing I stopped myself in time. Shopkeeper, don't mute me this time! I stopped!"

Vanessa Marianna: "So Professor Xavier is such a genius. That's truly incredible."

Charles Xavier: "You flatter me. I merely had good fortune and received a little recognition from others."

Wade Wilson: "Wow, Xavier, you're amazing! Okay, admiration over. Xavier, the rule for newcomers is to show three... ahem, show your fruit. So, what fruit did you buy?"

Charles Xavier: "Mr. Wade, I purchased the Encouragement Fruit. This fruit can make the atmosphere in my classes more lively."

Vanessa: "Professor Xavier truly is a dedicated scholar. That is admirable."

The others in the group also expressed their admiration one after another.

Devil Fruits were such miraculous things, yet Charles Xavier had bought one merely to use for teaching?

There was no arguing with that.

After briefly greeting everyone in the group, Professor X left the chat and began saying goodbye to Rosha.

"Shopkeeper, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll visit again another day. If there's a chance, you're welcome to visit the Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters."

As Professor X left, he extended an invitation to Rosha.
