What was happening in the underworld of New York, of course, was not felt by an ordinary person.
It was natural for Alex to do the same until he went to investigate.
He also believed that Kingpin's ability to get things done would not let him down.
During the next time, Alex continued to live the same busy life.
The difference was that now Gwen sometimes came to him and asked questions.
For example, "My friend wants to make a suit, what material it should be made of."
Or: "What colors do you like to wear?".
Or: "My friend thinks that girls are not suitable to be heroes like Superman, what do you think."
And so on and so forth.
Alex was also indirectly involved in the birth of Spider-Man.
Helping Gwen with questions and answers, he checked in to get various things.
It also made Alex think that this system is becoming more and more immodest.
"A little black leather whip that doesn't hurt so much."
"A magic rope that tightens the tighter the more you resist, but does not threaten your life...".
Such things, which could not be used at the moment, Alex placed in the system space for the time being.
They may have to be used sometime in the future.
In addition, of course, there were useful things that were signed.
"The ability to shoot without bullets."
"Super memory".
"Permanent buff: Immunity to mind control."
"Ten Immortal Beans."
...
The most useful of them was the "Mind Control Immunity" buff, since there were mutants in this world who had the ability to manipulate the mind.
Professor X, Jean Grey and the like.
And also the Scarlet Witch who will appear in the future.
With this buff, a person can be immune to most of these people's abilities.
But, of course, the more such buffs, the better.
Don't ask for too much.
Asking means being careful!
After a busy hour of work, Alex returned to the roof again to enjoy sunbathing.
He also made a cup of tea with milk using his knowledge from his past life, plus his culinary skills.
Taking a sip.
Alex admired: "Mmm, that's the taste."
"I'll make it for Gwen when she comes."
And what Alex didn't know was that while he was very comfortable and cozy right now, somewhere in New York someone was moping because of how he was spending time.
Outside of New York, there was the Xavier Academy for Gifted Teenagers.
It was founded by the leader of the X-Men, Charles Xavier, to accept mutant children and create favorable conditions for them to grow.
When they grew up, they could become X-Men and administer justice.
That is why the academy is also known as the X Academy.
In one of the classrooms, Jean finished her lesson with the bell ringing.
"Students, the lesson is over."
"Remember the tasks I gave, everyone must pass them."
"I see!"
There were about thirty mutant students in the class, all of them treated Jean with great respect.
In the eyes of this group of kids, becoming X-Men like Jin was their dream.
And Jean was looking at a group of children.
For some reason, the conversation she had with Alex that night came back to her mind.
During the time spent at the X Academy, Alex's words repeatedly surfaced in Jean's memory.
Jean also reflected on the truthfulness of his words many times.
The more she thought about them, the more it seemed to her that his words made sense.
But after so many years of Professor X's instructions, which also penetrated deep into her heart, for a while these two ideas fought in her mind.
It tormented her for quite a long time.
After classes, the road back to the residence was also scattered.
Several times she almost ran into students playing on the playground.
This scene was observed by Professor X, who was in his office.
Behind Professor X stood a middle-aged man in a brown leather coat, with a hairstyle that looked like a pair of pointed animal ears.
"Professor, what happened that you suddenly summoned me?"
Professor X, who was sitting by the window, heard the voice and immediately turned around, driving his wheelchair.
"Logan, you're here."
"Sit down first."
Wolverine James Logan, one of the main members of the X-Men, is a bestial mutant.
Logan sat down on the couch with a wide grin.
Professor X got down to business and said, "Some time ago I asked Jean to go to a ball at Stark Industries."
"You remember that, don't you?"
Logan nodded, thinking for a moment: "Yes, you wanted Jean to show herself there and learn the attitude to the X Academy and the X-Men."
Logan didn't look like a middle-aged man, but he was actually over a hundred years old.
Older than even Professor X in front of him.
As they say, an old man becomes a sage, and he could instantly understand what Professor X was doing.
Professor X nodded cautiously.
"And did it do anything?" Logan asked.
Professor X shook his head, then nodded again and said: "That night, Jean had to make contact with some upper-class people."
"Jean, however, said it was just a drink and no other conversations."
"That would be nice."
Indeed, in the situation the mutants were in, it was nice to have someone willing to come up and strike up a conversation over a drink.
That would be nice enough.
"Well, but lately I've noticed that she seems to be out of sorts."
"It seems to me that she wasn't just drinking that night."
Logan's eyes narrowed: "So you're saying that I should go and follow Jean."
"To find out if Jin is keeping any secrets from you."
"Yes, Logan."
"Professor, isn't this too petty?"
Keeping an eye on his teammates was something Logan honestly couldn't do.
"Logan, there's nothing you can do about it, you know perfectly well what kind of situation we're in."
Professor X didn't say anything else, but Logan knew the pros and cons.
Having followed Professor X for so many years, Logan has learned a lot of his philosophy.
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
"I'll let you know at the first opportunity if something happens."
With these words, Logan got up and left the office of Professor X, who was looking through the window at the children below.
His eyes were twinkling, he was wondering what he was thinking.
On the other side.
Jean, who had returned to her own dorm, finally couldn't hold back.
"No, I'm going to find Mr. Alex...".
