Bai Ye has to talk to this scruffy man?
Rogue looked down at the Sabretooth under Bai Ye's foot. Seriously injured as he was, how had he not died yet?
Nodding obediently, Rogue didn't ask any more questions and walked out of the alley, waiting at the entrance.
After Rogue had gone, Bai Ye lifted his foot from Sabretooth's head, allowing him to raise his head from the dirt.
"Kid, do you know who you've messed with?" Sabretooth climbed up, his fractured bones and other wounds already healed. "We're the Brotherhood of Mutants."
"I know. That's who I'm looking for."
Facing Sabretooth's self-declaration, which was like a street thug's tactic, Bai Ye rolled his eyes. "I have a message for Magneto. I know he's researching a machine to transform humans into mutants."
"However, the machine he's built has significant flaws. Don't rush to experiment. In three days, at this time, I want to have a good talk with him."
Seeing Sabretooth's disbelieving, wide eyes, Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. "Do you have any questions? If not, then get lost."
"How did you know about our plan?" Sabretooth asked.
Only a few people, including Magneto, knew about the plans of their organization. How did this guy find out?
"That's none of your concern. Just pass on my message to him," Bai Ye said, turning around. He ignored Sabretooth behind him and slowly walked out of the alley.
Behind him, Sabretooth, who had failed the mission, hesitated before deciding to report the contents to Magneto.
Outside the alley, Rogue looked at the endless stream of people on the street, her heart racing, and various thoughts filled her mind.
Who was that scruffy man, and why did he want to catch me... And why did Bai Ye know I was here, and also wanted to find me... And about the healing ability of my palms, could Bai Ye also be a Superpowered Person?
All sorts of thoughts came flooding in, making the girl feel a little flustered, as if she had been caught in a conspiracy. But recalling the continuous power that Bai Ye had transmitted when they shook hands, her fluctuating mood settled down again.
If I'm with Bai Ye, there definitely won't be a problem. Touching her healed palm, Rogue thought.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." A calm voice came from behind the girl.
Bai Ye took out a mask and put it on, walking out of the alley. He looked at the girl and said, "You must have a lot of questions now. Don't worry, I remember there's a Burger King nearby. We can talk while we walk there."
"Okay." The girl nodded heavily, following behind Bai Ye towards the fast-food restaurant.
A few minutes later, Rogue looked at the food piled in front of her: "Aren't you eating?"
"You eat. It's not convenient for me to show my face in public." Bai Ye tugged at his mask and said, "I'll take this time to explain the basic situation to you."
"First, your ability. It's a super-strong ability to absorb the power, vitality, and even mutant abilities of others through physical contact, with a huge potential for growth."
"That's also the reason why that mutant was chasing you. Your ability is very tempting to them." Bai Ye said slowly.
He didn't want to reveal Magneto's true purpose for now. After all, it might cause trouble if the X-Men knew.
"As for me, the reason I found you so conveniently is because I was asked by another Superpowered Person to escort you to a school where all the students and teachers are Superpowered Persons."
"A Mutant Academy? There's such a place?" Rogue stopped eating, her eyes widening.
"Of course. After all, you know the attitude towards Superpowered Persons in society right now. It's not good for either Superpowered Persons or humans in normal schools."
"Are you a Superpowered Person too?" Rogue asked Bai Ye, looking at him.
She had always been quite ashamed of her Superpowered Person identity. Since her ability awakened, nothing good had happened.
"Not currently. I can only be considered a Superpowered Person, but everyone has Superpowered Person genes in their bodies. It's not impossible to awaken your own genes and become a Superpowered Person in the future," Bai Ye said pointedly.
When Rogue heard that Bai Ye wasn't a Superpowered Person, her head immediately drooped, and she continued to chew her food silently.
"Now you have two choices. The first is to stay at my place for one night, and then I'll take you to the Mutant Academy tomorrow morning."
"As for the second, you can choose not to go to the Mutant Academy. I won't stop you from going home or wandering around," Bai Ye said slowly.
And at this moment, Rogue, facing the choice Bai Ye gave, pondered for a long time before slowly raising her head. "Can I follow you?"
Follow me... Bai Ye fell into thought.
He didn't actually have any intention of recruiting the girl in front of him, who possessed the ability to absorb. After all, besides the pain of contact, which felt like an electric shock, it wouldn't do anything for his training.
Bai Ye's talent had no bottleneck, allowing him to grow infinitely stronger.
That is to say, the training effect at 100 tons was ten times that of 10 tons; there was no situation where the more he trained, the slower his improvement became.
In that case, why would he want the girl to absorb his power and then reduce it to 10 tons before undergoing 10 tons of weighted training? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?
If the girl's absorption ability could only absorb stamina and had no effect on strength, then it would be quite useful to him. After all, the training effect would double when he was at his stamina limit.
But the girl herself couldn't control her ability; whether it was strength, stamina, or superpowers, she could absorb anything she touched. That was too useless for him; apart from being pretty and serving as a decorative vase, she was good for nothing.
However, he wasn't short on money now, and taking care of a Superpowered Person was a piece of cake. Besides, she might be useful in the future.
So, after hesitating for a moment, Bai Ye smiled at Rogue's request, "Of course, no problem. But to prevent you from regretting it later, I'll take you to the Mutant Academy first, and then you can make your decision."
"I... won't regret it." Rogue shook her head vigorously, then realized her words were a bit too revealing. She blushed and buried her head in her food.
After a peaceful, uneventful night, the next morning, Bai Ye, following the address Charles had left, took Rogue to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
Looking at the beautiful manor before him, even Bai Ye's eyes flashed with curiosity, curious about this Mutant Academy.
