The binoculars were marginal at the distance, and the light was very low, but to Alphonso, none of those things actually mattered. He only needed the binoculars to keep an eye on Mr. Carrick's house, and maybe, just maybe, he could catch a glimpse into the house to see what the supposed monster was upto.
There were a lot of people in New World City. Even more after the recent improvements made to the city, and amongst the countless citizens of the New World City, it's highly unlikely that their teacher would have ended up being the target of some monster. And even more unlikely would be the fact that he regained his human appearance and was also a teacher to a group of mutants. It was as though the stars had aligned perfectly.
But unlikely events happened from time to time, and especially around the four of them, so Alphonso kept his field of view tight on his teacher's house, and he adjusted the focus as he looked through the binoculars to get the sharpest image.
