What Hawking valued now were the resources of the Mutant School, which could greatly accelerate the improvement of his strength.
He could eat his fill every meal, train his body to the maximum extent, and not have to worry about unusual behavior attracting the attention of normal people.
He could spar and fight with the masters at the Mutant School, stimulating the potential of his Saiyan bloodline.
He could also use the advanced high-tech and Mutant abilities at the Mutant School to practice the Turtle Hermit Style more efficiently.
If he continued to develop at his current speed in Sokovia, it might take him ten years to truly catch up to Goku's full strength at thirteen years old. At the Mutant School, he might be able to achieve it in two or three years.
Perhaps, if he was lucky, he could even earn some justice points, which were the foundation of his strength.
In short, he believed that strength was paramount; only by quickly becoming powerful himself could he deal with everything.
However, if possible, he still wanted to bring Oleg and Elena, who adopted him, to New York as well.
For ordinary people, Sokovia, where wars broke out from time to time, was too dangerous.
"Hawking, you are very kind and mature. You should also understand that if every student made such a request, it would be a huge burden for our Mutant School."
Professor X looked at Hawking, his face full of admiration and satisfaction.
He risked his life to activate his ability to save a strange couple, which led to him collapsing from overuse of his ability. Now, given the opportunity to attend the Mutant School in New York, he didn't forget the safety of his adoptive parents.
This was clearly a child with a very kind heart.
As for the amnesia, he wasn't as easily fooled as Oleg and Elena. The amnesia was clearly faked. This child must have had a not-so-good experience.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so precocious and show such a longing and appreciation for family affection.
For Professor X, this was a bonus. To maintain kindness despite a difficult early life was true kindness.
Coupled with the combat talent and ability he displayed, Professor X was actually very willing to agree to Hawking's request.
Because it was nothing to him.
However, agreeing too easily would not be good for a child; things obtained too easily are not cherished.
"I know, so I'm not asking for something for nothing.
As you, Professor, said, the original intention of establishing the Mutant School was to guide Mutants in learning to use their abilities and to protect Mutants from persecution.
Then the school would definitely need some Mutants to act as protectors.
You are allowing our three siblings to attend school for free and helping my parents immigrate and settle in New York, so I am willing to serve as that protector!"
Hawking looked at Professor X, his tone full of confidence.
Professor X appreciated him even more upon hearing this.
"At this age, to have such judgment and such courage, it's excellent.
Alright, I agree to your request, but becoming a protector is not that easy. You will need to wait until you are an adult in a few years and pass an assessment to be qualified."
"Professor, you won't regret this decision today."
Hawking's face immediately broke into a brilliant smile.
He wasn't sure if Professor X would agree. If he didn't, then he would only be able to go to the Mutant School first to improve his strength, and then find a way to help Oleg and Elena move to a safe city.
"Hahaha, I think so too."
Professor X blinked, replying in a joking tone.
After the two left the room, Professor X proposed to Oleg and Elena that he was willing to help them immigrate to New York and find suitable jobs and housing near the school.
For such a good opportunity, the couple naturally had no reason to refuse.
In a chaotic country like Sokovia, which was in a state of war, apart from the wealthy and highly skilled professionals, it was basically very difficult for other ordinary civilians to immigrate, especially to New York.
If they could live safely in New York, who would want to stay in a place that could be bombed any day?
Sokovia was not facing foreign invasion and fighting to defend the country; it was a civil war, a conflict arising from internal ethnic tensions.
Only politicians and ambitious individuals thought about fighting for power and profit, because they and their families didn't have to go to the battlefield.
Ordinary people just wanted to live a stable life and didn't care who was in power.
Going to New York would not only allow them to live a peaceful life but also bring them much closer to where their children attended school.
If a normal person had made such a promise to them, they would certainly not have believed it at all. How could such a good thing just fall from the sky?
But Professor Charles's words seemed to have a magic that made them believe without a hint of doubt after hearing them.
And so, after some simple preparations and arrangements, the family of five followed Professor X, leaving the chaotic country of Sokovia and embarking on their journey to New York.
The war had caused Oleg and Elena to lose all their relatives and friends, so they didn't have many ties to leave behind.
Bronx, North New York.
"Your parents, I have arranged for them to work at a company in the city. Next, I will take you to move into the school.
Don't be afraid, there are many children like you at the school, and you will make many friends."
In the speeding car, Professor X, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Pietro and Wanda, who were nestled against Hawking in the back, clearly still a bit timid about entering a new environment, and gently comforted them.
Hawking, embracing his younger siblings, patted their backs while replying to Professor X:
"Thank you, Professor!"
The company Professor X arranged for Oleg and Elena to work at had genuinely good benefits and conditions, and both jobs were suitable for their abilities, clearly showing thoughtfulness.
He was grateful for this.
He didn't know if Professor X was truly kind or hypocritical; he judged people only by what they did, not by what they thought.
Even if it was hypocrisy or manipulation, as long as the other party contributed, he was willing to repay them in the future.
After about forty-five minutes of driving, the car traveled from the Bronx to Westchester County in the suburbs, and a vast estate-style school appeared before Hawking's eyes.
"Professor X is really rich!"
Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters was actually Professor X's family mansion converted, and Professor X himself was a super rich second-generation heir.
Many of the high-tech facilities in the school, including an invisible plane, were funded by Professor X.
The car drove directly into the school and stopped in front of the main building, which resembled a Castle.
"Professor, you're back. Something has happened that requires your decision."
Entering the Castle, they happened to catch the end of class. A group of students, big and small, rushed out of the classrooms. Many of them had appearances different from ordinary people. Upon seeing Professor X, they all respectfully stopped to greet him.
At this moment, a slender, white-haired female teacher who had just emerged from a classroom also noticed Professor X.
"I know everything. Go and call all the teachers to my office.
This is Professor Ororo, your future math and physics teacher, and she will also guide you on how to control your abilities more effectively."
Upon hearing the white-haired female teacher's words, Professor X immediately understood the situation through his telepathy. After giving an instruction, he began to introduce the three Hawking siblings.
