Wolverine was born in 1832. During the years Captain America was active, he, too, served as an American soldier in World War II.
So, he naturally knew about Captain America, but he didn't worship him like an ordinary person might, and thus, he didn't immediately recognize him.
When Captain America sacrificed himself, Wolverine was captured by the Japanese and sent to a POW camp in Nagasaki.
"Yes, that's him, Captain America, Steve Rogers."
George smiled as he explained:
"I've been thinking about whether we should hire more teachers at our school, but ordinary people probably wouldn't be suitable to teach our students. Additionally, we need to be careful about the character of the new teachers, to ensure they don't negatively influence the children.
So, I thought of him."
He pointed at the almost completely thawed Captain America.
"I remembered that Captain America fell into the Arctic Ocean and disappeared. Given that his body had been injected with the super soldier serum, I thought he might not have died. So, I used my tracking abilities to give it a try, and, as it turned out, I found him.
His character is definitely impeccable. On top of that, he's not only a master of various combat techniques, but also a top-tier tactical strategist, someone who can teach our students how to better coordinate in battle."
"So, you want him to become a teacher at our school? But he might not be willing."
Wolverine wasn't convinced by George's idea.
He thought Captain America was a government-made weapon, a soldier who followed orders. When he woke up, he would likely rush back to the government and serve them, so why would he stay at the school to teach?
George smiled at Wolverine's skepticism:
"That's not necessarily the case. Besides, we have a professor, don't we?"
With that, he turned to look at Professor X.
When it comes to persuasion, Professor X was certainly one of the best in the world.
Moreover, Captain America wasn't exactly the way Wolverine described him.
Captain America wasn't blindly loyal to the government. If he were, he wouldn't have refused to sign the Sokovia Accords.
He had his own principles, and he stuck to them firmly.
The main reason he joined the military was to protect the weak and end wars, and now the world was at peace.
If it weren't for S.H.I.E.L.D. being founded by his lover Peggy Carter and his friend Howard, and Nick Fury constantly using moral manipulation and tactics, Captain America probably wouldn't have continued working with S.H.I.E.L.D.
Frozen for over sixty years, with almost all of his loved ones gone and the world vastly changed, it was a huge shock to Captain America.
So, as long as the approach was right, getting him to stay at the school to teach these poor mutant children how to survive shouldn't be too difficult.
"I'll just do my best. To be honest, I admired him quite a lot when I was younger!"
Professor X nodded in agreement. He was fully supportive of having Captain America teach at the school.
"As long as no one has objections, I don't either. Besides, I could really use a drinking buddy. I hear he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
Wolverine shrugged and also expressed his approval.
Although Professor X had acquired a cloned body, he had quit smoking and drinking, and George didn't touch alcohol either, spending all his time in the combat simulation room. So, he was in desperate need of someone to drink with.
"Since no one objects, I'll wake him up."
Seeing that the ice around Captain America's body had completely melted and his physical functions were beginning to recover rapidly, George waved his hand and cast a revival spell.
"Quickly, wake up!"
The revival spell was a magic that forced someone to awaken, often used to counteract a coma-inducing spell.
Under the spell's forceful influence, Captain America immediately opened his eyes, pulling himself out of unconsciousness.
"Where... am I?"
Captain America gazed at the ceiling above him, mumbling instinctively. His last memory was of the plane crashing, and then he was frozen in the ice.
"Hello, Captain Steve Rogers!"
At that moment, a kind voice startled him awake.
Instinctively, he rolled out of bed, grabbed his shield, and assumed a defensive stance. Seeing three strangers in the room, he immediately became alert and asked, "Who are you? Where is this place? Why am I here?"
"This is a school, and we are the principal and teachers of this school.
As for why you're here, that's a long story. Don't worry, just sit down, and we'll talk it through."
George reassured Captain America with a calm tone.
However, Captain America was clearly on edge. He glanced at the room's equipment and didn't trust George's words. Instead, he made a beeline for the door.
How could such advanced equipment be found in a school's basement? He suspected this might be a secret Hydra base.
"Hey, buddy, I think you should calm down," Wolverine said, stepping in front of Captain America.
But Captain America didn't hold back. He raised his fist and threw a punch at Wolverine.
Wolverine, taking the punch to his face, immediately retaliated with a swift kick, sending Captain America stumbling back.
"Although you're over ninety, I'm a hundred years older than you, and I'm still way ahead!" Wolverine quipped.
Seeing Captain America lift his shield, Wolverine revealed his adamantium claws, ready to show Captain America what he could do.
"Disarm him!" George commanded.
With a wave of his hand, George cast a disarming spell that took Captain America's shield, and followed it up with a binding spell, restraining him tightly.
"Confinement, now!"
"You're definitely Hydra agents!" Captain America snarled, his teeth gritted as he glared at George and the others.
In his mind, only Hydra would have enhanced humans and individuals with special abilities like theirs.
"Never mind, I'll show you myself," George sighed.
After signaling to Professor X and Wolverine, he grabbed Captain America and flew out to the school's entrance, his wings spreading as they soared directly toward downtown New York City.
"Take a look, Captain. This is New York in 2010. You've been frozen for sixty-five years."
"This is New York?"
Captain America looked down, his mind racing as he recognized parts of the city. It resembled the New York he knew, but everything was so different. The towering skyscrapers, the bright neon lights, and the modern cars speeding through the streets left him speechless.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Captain America was deeply familiar with the city.
As they flew in a circle around the city, he was able to confirm that this was indeed New York, though it was no longer the 1945 New York he remembered.
When they returned to the school, Captain America appeared lost and disoriented.
"Professor, it's your turn."
George released the restraints on Captain America and handed him over to Professor X for guidance. He then left to continue his magical training.
The next day, after spending the night convincing him, Professor X finally succeeded in getting Captain America to agree to stay at the school as a teacher.
At 9 AM, as agreed, Black Widow arrived to help the students with their identification papers. However, when she saw Captain America, now dressed in civilian clothes, her expression immediately shifted.
"George, he looks like..."
"Like Captain America, Steve Rogers? He only looks like him. This is our new teacher, Shi Aimin!"
George introduced him nonchalantly, without a hint of hesitation.
