Noticing Peter's movements, Beast instinctively took a step forward.
He was somewhat worried that Peter wanted to finish Impact off completely.
After all, judging by his previous behavior, it would be entirely reasonable for this guy to do something like "directly snap Impact's neck, and then add, 'Look, I helped you reduce one mouth to feed.'"
As for him healing Impact?
What kind of joke is that...
Holy crap!
He's actually healing him?
Beast had barely finished his internal complaint when he saw a blinding white light emerge from Impact's body. Following that, the bones that had been so dislocated they were nearly piercing through his skin instantly snapped back into place.
His pale, paper-like complexion also became visibly rosy.
"Done~"
After using the Horse Talisman to complete the healing of Impact, Peter thought for a moment and reached out to touch the chaotic ground.
In the next second, the traces of the battle all around were completely erased, and even the century-old tree that the Professor loved most, which had been broken by Impact, was restored to its original state.
"OMG~!" This time, not to mention Beast, even Professor X couldn't maintain his composure and couldn't help but stutter:
"Uh... sir, are you really not a Mutant?"
In the Professor's view, judging by the combat power Peter had displayed and this miraculous healing ability, if Peter were a Mutant, he would definitely be an Omega-level Mutant, not inferior to himself or Magneto.
Perhaps even above Omega-level!
After all, in front of him, he didn't even have room to fight back!
Not to mention controlling him, he only needed a single glance to make him suffer a strong backlash!
Thinking of this, the Professor's thoughts couldn't help but become active, and he couldn't help but secretly think:
If he could really build a good relationship with this unknown powerhouse, perhaps... he could really use his power to get Magneto to officially join the academy?
At that time, their Mutants could definitely form a united front because of this.
Once this step was achieved, would the day when Mutants and humans coexisted peacefully be far off?
Facing Professor X's gaze, which was so enthusiastic it was almost scorching, Peter gave him an elegant smile and then said:
"Just call me Peter. As you can see, I am not a Mutant; I am a genuine human!"
"How is this possible!" Phoenix couldn't help but exclaim:
"How could a human possess such powerful strength!"
"Just because humans like you can't do it doesn't mean humans from other places can't~"
Peter replied casually, then yawned. Not giving anyone else a chance to continue questioning, he said:
"Alright, I'm tired and I'm going to rest. I'll pick a room myself. Also, I don't like being disturbed. If anyone comes to disturb my rest... consequences be damned."
After saying this, Peter drifted away, leaving Professor X and the others staring at each other in place.
...
Unknowingly, Peter had already been living at Xavier's Academy for three days.
Because the academy was full of curious brats, and because the Professor had specifically instructed them, Peter lived quite leisurely and comfortably.
He even got along quite well with a few socially extroverted brats.
At this moment, on the school lawn, a young girl with a clearly Asian appearance was sitting beside Peter with a bitter face:
"Mr. Peter, I always feel like something is still missing!"
At this moment, clusters of colorful electric light were flickering between the girl's hands, but they disappeared suddenly after only appearing for a short while.
"It seems like even with all my might, I can only generate this much firework energy."
The girl was named Jubilee, and she was the first person in the academy to have contact with Peter.
Because of her cheerful and lively personality, and her features which Peter liked, she had successfully become Peter's little follower over the past few days.
Peter extended a finger and tapped Jubilee's palm:
"The source of energy is not your palm, but your entire body. You shouldn't be trying to stare blankly at your palm."
"Instead, you should be looking for your power within your body and guiding it out bit by bit..."
While speaking, Peter opened his right hand, and blinding electric light formed instantly in his palm.
Chirp, chirp, chirp~!
The electric light emitted a harsh screech, sounding as if thousands of chicks were chirping in unison.
This was exactly the signature skill of Kakashi and Sasuke from Hokage, Chidori, or rather, Raikiri.
Peter then thrust his hand into a nearby stone pillar, and the terrifying piercing power of Chidori easily pierced through the stone pillar.
"This is just the first step. Once you are familiar with gathering energy in your palm, the next step is to let the energy extend on its own without passing through your limbs, for example..."
Following Peter's explanation, Chidori Current, Chidori Sharp Spear, Lightning Release, Rasengan, and other abilities were displayed by Peter one after another.
This scene, not to mention Jubilee, caused a great shock to the surrounding Mutant teenagers.
They all let out gasps, and the way they looked at Peter was even more respectful than when they saw Professor X.
...
In the principal's office on the second floor of the main building.
Charles sat in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, smiling as he watched the incredible scene on the lawn.
Hank stood behind him, holding a steaming cup of coffee, his brows furrowed:
"I seriously suspect that guy has a dual personality now," Hank speculated.
"The side we met that day was his evil side, and now, is this his kind main personality?"
Just as he finished speaking, a violent tremor suddenly came from beneath their feet!
The degree of the tremor was so exaggerated that even the chandelier on the ceiling began to sway from side to side, emitting a harsh screech of metal friction.
The wall plaster peeled off in large chunks, instantly covering Beast and the Professor in dust.
"Holy crap, did he hear me talking bad about him behind his back!"
Mr. Beast felt incredibly panicked at this moment!
"If you're scared, don't keep talking about him behind his back!" Professor X first retorted this way, then added:
"Besides, this earthquake shouldn't have anything to do with Mr. Peter; perhaps it's just a simple natural phenomenon."
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused because he discovered that Peter below... seemed to be smiling!
That smile was not the cunning smile of a conspiracy succeeding.
It was more like... the relaxed smile of someone who finally got a game or when some important holiday arrived.
Why would that guy have such a reaction? Could it be... he had been living in the academy all this time just to wait for today?
Waiting for an earthquake like this?
Why do that?
And what was his purpose?
Professor X suddenly felt a strong sense of unease:
"Alright, Henry, I've changed my mind. Go check where the source of this earthquake is. This matter seems to really not be as simple as I thought!"
And just on the lawn below, Peter also stretched contentedly, then patted Jubilee's little head and said:
"Alright, today's lesson ends here. Class dismissed!"
After saying this, he disappeared from where he was, while secretly thinking in his heart:
Has it finally started? Since Apocalypse has already awakened, then the distance to obtaining the Phoenix Force naturally won't be far, right~
