Heroes of Marvel

Chapter 324: First Meeting

Faced with a dozen kids surrounding him, Lin Rui can only stand awkwardly on the spot. While the name Mirage Knight is certainly big in New York right now, Lin Rui has never really received such treatment before.

“Haha ~” Lin Rui rolled his eyes after hearing Robert’s joking remarks.

“Okay! Alright! Don’t get too excited. Mirage Knight is here as a guest. You can’t scare him!” Finally, Kitty came to his rescue from the sidelines.

“Teacher! Is Mirage Knight a Mutant?” One of the older students asked loudly hearing Kitty’s words. As their idols, the Mutant kids hoped that Mirage Knight, who was beloved by all of New York would be a mutant so that they could also be respected like him one day in the future by ordinary people.

“Uh … this ~” Kitty looked at Lin Rui a little hesitantly after hearing her student’s question.

In fact, the X-MEN does not know the origin of the powerful Vigilantes in the League of Defender and they did not know whether they had Mutants in their ranks. However, they hoped that Mirage Knight or Spiderman would be Mutants. After all, being the most popular Vigilante in New York, if Mirage Knight and Spiderman were Mutants, that would be good for Mutants’ current status on earth.

“Oh, I’m not a Mutant.” Hearing the student’s question, Lin Rui knew what they were thinking but he didn’t want to lie and told the truth.

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Rui say that he was not a Mutant, the students and Kitty were a little disappointed. However, Robert was not surprised at all, he seems to have long guessed that Lin Rui was not a Mutant.

“However, we do have two people in the League of Defender who are Mutants.” Seeing the somewhat depressed mood of the students, Lin Rui went on to say.

Jack and Wade Wilson are Mutants, which is a very high percentage in the League of Defender with six and a half members (Harry counts as half).

“Really?! Is it Spiderman?” The students who were already a little depressed immediately got excited again when they heard Lin Rui’s words and it seemed that they would be happier if Spiderman was a Mutant.

“Uh ~ this is a secret, you have to guess it yourself!” This time Lin Rui will not say who is Mutants and who is not. It is best to remain mysterious.

Whoo~

Seeing Lin Rui playing with them like this, the students started to jeer.

“Okay! Alright! Mirage Knight is here as a guest and not a piece of art. If you want an autograph, wait till Mirage Knight is free.” Instead of letting Lin Rui be surrounded by the students, Kitty waves her hand.

“Well, I believe Mirage Knight will be happy to talk to you more later.” Robert also said this to the students as the other X-Men are waiting for them.

Under the leadership of Kitty and Robert, the students also separated a way for Mirage Knight to walk out. Before entering the castle, Lin Rui throws the football out of her hand.

Along the way, many students still followed behind the three of them but they were not so crowded as they were in the beginning. It seems that the school’s teachers have already talked with the students and the students will not come to disturb Lin Rui again at this time.

So, after a long walk, Lin Rui follows Iceman and Shadowcat to the door of an office. The door of this office is half-closed and Lin Rui can see some people inside.

“Let’s go in, the X-MENs in the academy are all inside,” Robert said to Lin Rui with a smile on his face.

Huh ~

Feeling a few powerful auras behind the door, Lin Rui took a deep breath and finally took a firm step forward. No matter how scared Lin Rui is of Professor Charles, he still needs to do this.

Da Da ~

Following Iceman and Shadowcat, Mirage Knight also walked into the office of the well-known Professor Charles.

As soon as he stepped into the office, Lin Rui quickly scanned the people in the room, and finally focused his eyes on a bald old man behind the desk in front of him.

There were only five people in the entire office except Iceman and Shadowcat who had just brought Lin Rui in. The most obvious one was Colossus, who is more than two meters high and Blink was also here. As for the other three X-MENs, Lin Rui can’t recognize who they are from their outfits for the time being.

However, the three unidentified X-MENs are not very important now, the key is the bald old man sitting behind the desk: Professor Charles, the leader of X-MEN, one of the strongest mutants in the world and he is someone Lin Rui has always feared.

“Hello, Mirage Knight.” When Lin Rui’s gaze focused on the old bald man, the old man smiled and said.

“Hello, Professor Charles.” It was already established that the bald old man was Professor Charles, and Lin Rui responded politely.

The first meeting between Mirage Knight and Professor X has begun in such a peaceful atmosphere. Of course, Lin Rui had not expected any special things to happen.

“I’ve heard about what you have done to protect New York and last time, you even helped us in stopping Deadpool from getting into even more trouble. So I want to say thank you.” After exchanging greetings, Professor Charles continued.

If Lin Rui had not known that Professor Charles is a top-notch Level 4 Mutant, he would have thought that the Old Man in front of him was an ordinary old man. Lin Rui did not feel any strong aura from Professor Charles at all, but he could still feel the auras of the other Mutants around him, of which Iceman was the strongest.

“I have chosen my own path since the day I chose to become Mirage Knight. It is my responsibility to protect New York. As for Deadpool, it also came within my responsibilities. I heard that you helped to find Hydra and me this time, so it should be me who needs to thank you.” Lin Rui said with a smile when he heard what Professor Charles said. Of course, now he was wearing a mask and no one could see him smile. However, Professor Charles felt Lin Rui’s kindness.

The success of Lin Rui’s rescue this time was mainly due to the X-Men’s efforts, specifically Professor Charles. If Professor Charles had not known from Francis’s head that it was Hydra that had captured Lin Rui, SHIELD would not have been able to locate the target so quickly and Tony would not have been able to rescue Lin Rui in time.

“Well, we didn’t expect that the organization that controls Mutants that we have been fighting to be Hydra, we also got lucky this time as we were able to know about our real enemies.” Hearing Lin Rui’s thanks, Professor Charles nodded and said.

“So, Professor Charles, what are your plans for X-MEN in the future?”
