Adam returned to his house. His parents were worried, while his sister was excited.
But upon his return, they didn't ask him anything about his job, while his sister kept talking about the loud explosions.
While talking to them, Adam kept putting more and more purple energy into them.
They hadn't noticed a large amount of purple energy in their shadows.
He had kept this much energy in their bodies to keep them safe, even if they leave the house.
This energy had two uses.
First, it would protect them from any harmful substances, including poison.
Second, if anyone physically assaults them or launches any attack, they would instantly get teleported to the house.
And, the house was covered in a portal, so anything that attacked the house would be instantly destroyed by its own attack.
That's why he dared to be so flamboyant about his identity.
As long as his parents didn't resent him for making their life worse, he had nothing to be afraid of.
...….
Ten Days Later;
Inside Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters;
"Miss Illena, do you see X-Gene as a disease?"
Charles Xavier, sitting in his wheelchair, stared at the girl in front of him and asked.
"No, I don't."
Illena hurriedly shook her head and denied.
"Then, why do you keep telling others to sign the contract and become normal?" Xiavier asked.
Next to him, a girl with red hair, a boy with red glasses, and another girl with white hair stood.
A bit far away from them, there was a middle-aged man with a beard and short black hair leaning against the wall.
Illena helplessly sighed and said.
"But Professor, you have seen just how much problem Anna's ability is causing her. She can't even touch other people."
"I am just giving her a choice to change all of this. My Lord won't erase her ability. He will just fix her deficiency."
Hearing that, Charles' expression became worse. But he didn't get any from her.
Instead, he looked at Scott and asked.
"What do you think of Scott's glasses?"
Illena turned towards him and said.
"They are good."
"They are the results of Hank's research on Scott's power."
Charles turned back at Illena and explained.
"What does that have to do with this?"
Illena asked back with some confusion.
At this moment, Scott spoke before Charles could.
"Professor doesn't want to rely on others, especially some kind of Dimensional Devil to solve small problems."
Jean Grey, the red-haired girl, chimed in, saying.
"Exactly, if we start praying to gods for everything, how can we make any progress?"
Ororo Munroe nodded her head and said.
"Just like you, I also have a God I believe in. I have also dabbled in the arts of mysticism and magic."
"But I do not ask for them to solve the problem the mutant kind is facing. They can't be bothered with this kind of problem."
Charles interrupted.
"They shouldn't be. If we let others solve our problems every time, we will never learn anything."
"I agree that Anna is suffering because of her power. But without that suffering, she will face the consequences of her powers."
"Think about it, Illena, if Anna goes out of her way to steal the other powers of other mutants, do you think anybody can stop her?"
"Anybody, any mutant that touches her loses his life. Think about your own choice, Illena, you lost your legs just because you wanted to fly."
"What do you think Anna will lose if she starts using her power carelessly? What do you think we will lose?"
At this moment, Illena got silent.
She hadn't considered this. In her mind, she just wanted to help Anna since her powers were hampering her daily life.
With her Lord's power, she believed Anna could be saved.
At this moment, Logan spoke.
"Chucks, I agree with Illena this time."
"Are you trying to say all of us are wrong, Logan?" Before Charles could speak, Scott shouted.
Logan gave him a side eye and spoke.
"Just because all of us suffered due to her mutant abilities doesn't mean we should let others suffer."
"Is that why you established this institute, Chucks? Wasn't your idea at the beginning to solve the suffering of mutants?"
"If that Devil or God can help Anna with her ability, why not give it a try?"
At this moment, Ororo chimed in.
"But Logan, we shouldn't do any kind of deals with these Dimensional Beings. They will only bring destruction and death to Earth."
"Miss Ororo, I will not stand here and face your slander against my Lord."
Illena erupted into anger when Ororo insulted the Dimensional Lords.
"But I am not wrong. Your Lord might have been different, but most of the Dimensional Lords who seek souls often cause trouble for our planet."
Ororo retorted.
"Silence!"
Charles shouted, and all of them suddenly stopped speaking.
He took a deep breath and turned towards Illena.
"Logan is right. I saw so many mutants suffering because of their powers that I forgot my intention to establish this institute."
"If your Lord can help solve Anna her problem, I will use other things for this transaction."
"Her soul shouldn't be used, even by your own Lord."
Hearing that, Illena couldn't help but feel speechless.
"Professor, my Lord is not a Devil. He is a fox, with Nine Tails."
"That's just his transformation, Illena." Ororo spoke.
"I don't know where you get this Dimensional Lord, but those who interfere with our planet will not have a good intention."
Hearing that, Illena sighed heavily and said.
"How about you talk to my Leader? He will explain things much better."
"You mean that Naruto guy?" Logan asked.
Illena shook her head and said.
"My Leader is another mutant. He was also a part of that experiment. It's just that he was the first one to contact our Lord and also the one with the highest rank."
Charles stared at others and started discussing her proposal.
After a while, he nodded.
"Alright, we can talk to him. Can you call him here?"
Illena nodded and released her purple energy three times in a row.
Her purple energy instinctively made Logan react, forcing him to pull out his claws.
Storm also sensed a great power in her purple energy, almost trying to pull out the lightning.
On the other hand, Jean felt strange. She was being lured toward the purple energy.
She wanted to eat it. This energy felt so good that she couldn't stop drooling.
"Jean, what's wrong?"
Scott noticed her expression and asked.
Jean came out of her stupor and also felt the drool on the corner of her mouth.
Her face turned red with embarrassment as she shook her head.
"No, no, it's just I felt close to her energy. I don't know why."
When Charles heard that, he narrowed his eyes.
He never expected this purple energy to lure Jean. He knew it was the power inside of Jean that was reacting, not Jean herself.
Although he had placed a mental block in her, the power hadn't disappeared.
It had merely stayed dormant in her.
At this moment, a purple portal slowly opened, and a man walked in.
"Illena, what happened?"
Adam curiously asked. But when he saw Charles and others, he narrowed his eyes.
Charles didn't try to probe his mind. He wasn't going to unless Adam became a threat to his school.
The Phoenix inside of Jean started going into frenzy, so much so that Jean instinctively released her telekinesis and telepathy.
"Jean, control yourself!"
When Charles noticed her telepathy, he immediately released his own and shouted in her mind.
Jean also realized that she had gone overboard with her powers and tried controlling them.
Fortunately, they were inside a relatively empty room. So, there wasn't much destruction.
But Storm, Logan, Scott, and Illena were shaken by her telekinesis. It felt like a lot of atmospheric pressure was squeezing them.
"Nice power! I have only felt this kind of power in my Lord. My name is Adam Grant, and I am Leader of Lord Kurama's Heralds."
Adam nodded his head and complimented her.
"You are being compared to a Dimensional Lord. I guess that's a promotion, Jean."
Logan couldn't help but make a joke when he heard that.
When Charles heard that, he almost released his telepathy to read Adam's mind. He desperately wanted to know what kind of power this was.
But he controlled himself on time.
Even so, Adam felt a wave of mental energy moving towards him. This energy stopped in mid-air and returned to the professor, which surprised him.
Adam looked at Charles with a hint of surprise as he said.
"Even I can't control energy like that. You have quite a lot of experience and self-control."
"But then again, considering your power, your identity, and the situation your race is in, I am not surprised."
"It takes a lot of self-control not to brainwash the world into believing that mutant kind are good for Earth."
