“He is quite enthusiastic.” Lin Rui thought as he walked towards them.
Call!
After taking a few steps, Mirage Knight had already stepped in front of Iceman.
“Hello, Robert, it’s nice to meet you again.” Mirage Knight stretched out his hand as he said this.
“Haha! I thought you wouldn’t accept my invitation!” Laughing and shaking hands with Mirage Knight, Robert(Iceman) said happily.
Of course, Iceman cannot guess that Mirage Knight was afraid of Professor Charles because Iceman does not think that professor Charles will use his powers on Mirage Knight. So when Mirage Knight initially rejected Iceman’s invitation, he thought that Mirage Knight has some prejudice against Mutants. Now that Mirage Knight has accepted his invitation and has arrived here, Iceman is happy.
“I was saved from Hydra only a few days ago. You got to let me rest for a few days.” Mirage Knight does not say the original reason for not accepting Robert’s request in the first place, but simply gave out a reasonable excuss.
“I told you, Robert, I told you that Mirage Knight should not be that kind of person.” Hearing Mirage Knight’s explanation, Shadowcat(Kitty) standing beside Iceman said with a smile.
“You are? …” From the beginning, Mirage Knight had noticed the pretty girl beside Iceman and he was also waiting for Robert to do the introduction.
“Haha! This is my girlfriend Kitty and a member of X-MEN, she goes by the name of Shadowcat, I don’t know if you have heard of it.!” Seeing Mirage Knight asking about Kitty, Iceman introduced Kitty with a smile.
“Shadowcat (Kitty)?!” After hearing Iceman’s introduction, Mirage Knight was a little surprised even though he was prepared for it.
Shadowcat, a member of X-MEN. Although her ability seemed less aggressive: she could pass through any object, and she could also let anyone who is touching her pass through those objects. However, this is also a very powerful ability. At least, if X-MEN wants to sneak into a defensive place, Shadowcat’s ability is very practical.
However, Mirage Knight also remembers that in the X-MEN movie, Days of Future Past, Shadowcat’s abilities go beyond just passing through the walls. In that movie, Shadowcat also has the ability to send someone’s mind back to the past, which is a very abnormal ability involving the aspect of time. Although that may be the ability that the director forcibly added to Shadowcat, Mirage Knight is not sure that Shadowcat does not have that ability in this real world.
“Hello, Shadowcat.” The surprise only lasted for a moment in his heart and Mirage Knight then politely greeted Shadowcat.
“Hello, Mirage Knight. Your initial rejection of Robert’s invitation had him worried. I told him that you must have wanted to rest but he didn’t listen, he was worried that you would have something against the Mutants.” Kitty reached out and shook Mirage Knight’s hand and said with a smile.
“Haha! It’s also my fault, I didn’t explain it clearly last time, I’m really sorry.” Mirage Knight spoke offhandedly as he didn’t want to dwell on this issue.
“Well, let’s go in. Although school is closed today, most of the students are not going home. Many of these students are your fans. Maybe someone will ask you for an autograph later.” After greeting, Iceman leads Mirage Knight toward the school. As he walks, Iceman gives Mirage Knight a brief introduction to the Xavier school.
“Is that so? That would be my pleasure.” Mirage Knight had already seen some students resting on the grass not far away, and he smiled back at Robert’s words.
“Actually, you are not their only idol. Between the Vigilantes in New York, Spiderman is the most famous idol in the hearts of these children.” Kitty added a sentence after hearing Robert speak. Of course, she didn’t want to tear down Robert’s stage, because she knew that Mirage Knight had a good relationship with Spiderman, so it didn’t matter. And why would someone like Mirage Knight care about fans?
“Haha! There’s no way around it, Spiderman is more famous than I am!” Mirage Knight, whose fame had already been crushed by Peter, was not surprised. After all, Mirage Knight is not seen as much as Spiderman on the streets of New York City, and his image is not as vivid as Spiderman’s, so it is normal that he is not as popular as Spiderman.
“Oh, a lot of students in the school want to join the League of Defender in addition to X-MEN. Your fame is not so small at all!” Having led Mirage Knight to the square of X-Mansion. Robert slowed down and spoke to Mirage Knight beside him.
“Really? If that’s the case then I’ll be more then happy to accept them. Of course, they need to have the strength to ensure their own safety first.” Mirage Knight didn’t care about the slow pace of Iceman and smiled back. If there are really powerful Mutants who are willing to join the League of Defender, as long as they can be trusted, Mirage Knight will not refuse.
Bang ~ Bang ~
Just as the three of them were walking slowly across the square, a football rolled off the grass and stopped at Mirage Knight’s feet.
Looking at the football rolling to his feet, Mirage Knight stopped and bent over to pick it up. Originally he was going to let Iceman pick it up, but Iceman didn’t even realize it at all and Mirage Knight had to pick it up by himself. However, Mirage Knight stopped long enough that he didn’t notice that the students have their eyes on him.
“Ah! You are … it’s Mirage Knight!” The first one to spot Mirage Knight was the 11-year-old boy running after the ball. He pointed at Mirage Knight and shouted.
Brush!
Now, except for the students who had just noticed him here, all the people in the square and on the grass looked at Mirage Knight. As Mutants are different from ordinary people, they pay more attention to the Vigilantes who are also different from ordinary people, such as Mirage Knight and Spiderman. So, after the little boy screamed Mirage Knight’s name, Mirage Knight’s figure instantly become the center of attention.
Shout!
Then, before Lin Rui knew it, the students in the whole square were all crowding towards his way. A number of students have directly launched their abilities to reach him, some can fly, some can even teleport short distances, some can change their body shapes to speed up, Lin Rui has seen several varieties of ability in such a short time.
Swipe!
Soon, Mirage Knight, who was holding a football in his hand, was surrounded by a dozen students. They all stared at Mirage Knight with curious eyes. This is the first time Mirage Knight has faced so many under-age Mutants and his apparent fans.
“It’s really Mirage Knight!”
“That’s right! And I’m on Mirage Knight’s fan page!”
“Is Mirage Knight really a Mutant? I knew it!”
After confirming that the person in front of them was indeed Mirage Knight, the Mutant students in their teens were all excited and had already created a circle around Mirage Knight.
“This …” With a ball in his hand, Mirage Knight was at a loss. This is the first time that he had encountered such a situation.
“As I said before, you have some fans!” Robert seemed unsurprised about this situation as he stood beside Mirage Knight and kept smiling.
