Morin quickly began tutoring Eric.
Self-study videos first.
Questions afterward, whenever something didn't make sense.
Modern teaching methods.
Liberating teachers everywhere.
With his spare time, Morin shifted his focus to Charles and Raven.
"I already explained how to strengthen your abilities once," Morin said, looking at Charles.
"Let's see how much you remember."
"One method is external force. The other is self-enhancement," Charles replied without hesitation.
"The external force uses high-tech equipment, similar to radar, to amplify psychic power. As for self-enhancement... you haven't explained that yet."
"Correct." Morin nodded.
"So you'll also need to study physics, computer science, and biology."
"But you don't need to start from the very basics like Eric."
"I don't need you to build it from scratch. I already know how," Morin continued.
"But you need to understand the principles. You need to know how to build it. And you need to be able to construct it anytime, anywhere."
"Construct it myself?" Charles raised an eyebrow.
"A Cerebro-like device is destined to be large if it's meant to be effective, at least with current technology," Morin said, glancing at Eric.
Eric had been deliberately shielded to one side, watching a video intently.
His eyes were starting to glaze over.
Sleepy.
Morin casually cast a mental stimulation spell.
"But you have someone who can help you," Morin continued.
"Eric's ability is electromagnetism. And the most fundamental principle of Cerebro is a magnetic field."
"..."
Charles looked at Eric.
At this moment, Eric was staring seriously at the screen.
Whether he understood it was another matter.
"I understand," Charles said.
Telepathy was psychic power.
Cerebro was just amplification.
At its core, it created a special magnetic field through current conversion and related mechanisms.
For Eric, generating such a magnetic field would be effortless.
But given Eric's educational background, learning everything required to build Cerebro would take far too long.
And expecting him to do that just for Charles wasn't realistic.
At least not with their current relationship.
So Charles needed to understand the principles himself.
When necessary, he could ask Eric to help.
Through telepathy, what Charles knew, Eric could know as well.
Then Eric could directly construct the corresponding magnetic field.
A portable, human Cerebro.
No size restrictions.
As long as Eric's control was strong enough.
As for whether Eric would help-
Charles wasn't worried.
For reasons he couldn't explain, he trusted Eric.
And Eric seemed to trust him too.
They were both Morin's students.
After enough cooperation, their relationship would naturally deepen.
Charles was very confident in his social skills.
"Then let's begin," Morin said, seeing no objections.
He happily pulled books, test papers, and a USB drive full of teaching videos from his pocket.
One by one.
Another small mountain appeared.
Because Charles needed to learn more subjects than Eric, his pile-though skipping the basics-was noticeably taller.
Charles: "..."
Now he understood how Eric felt.
"To be honest," Charles said, "your teaching method feels familiar."
"Of course," Morin waved it off.
"It's Chinese cramming education."
Charles: "..."
Morin admitting it so openly left him momentarily speechless.
"Cramming education has flaws," Morin added.
"It's hard and time-consuming."
"But it has advantages. You memorize quickly. Once you've memorized everything, I teach you how to apply it. Mastery skyrockets."
"Isn't that great?"
"...Alright," Charles said.
He felt something was off.
But he couldn't explain why.
In front of Morin-whose thoughts he couldn't read-Charles only felt a deep sense of frustration.
After experiencing this enough times, he no longer cared.
Morin then turned to Raven.
"...Do I have to do the same?" Raven asked hopefully.
"Of course not," Morin replied with a smile.
"That's great!" Raven nearly jumped in place.
She hated studying.
Her grades had never been good.
Compared to Charles, who excelled academically since childhood, she was a textbook underachiever.
"Just a little less than them," Morin added.
Her smile froze instantly.
"Why?" Raven protested.
"My power is just shapeshifting. Why do I have to study like them?"
"Because your shapeshifting is different," Morin said calmly.
"Other shapeshifters mimic appearances. You change at the cellular level."
"That's completely different."
"How?" Raven pressed, still looking for an excuse.
"First question," Morin raised a finger.
"How do you change your cell structure to become someone else?"
"Just... like that?" Raven didn't understand what he meant.
"Can you look at someone once, know every detail about them, and then perfectly become them?" Morin asked.
"That doesn't make sense. You must collect something."
"Turn into me."
"Are you sure?" Raven hesitated.
She rarely transformed in front of others.
People couldn't handle it.
And Charles had always asked her not to expose her ability.
But Morin had already seen it.
So it didn't matter.
"Yes," Morin nodded.
"Okay..."
A blue ripple swept from her head to her toes.
She became "Morin."
"How is it? Do I look like him?"
"...You should look at yourself," Morin said, twitching slightly as he handed her a mirror.
"Ah!"
Raven screamed.
The mirror fell and shattered.
She instantly reverted to her original form.
"Your shapeshifting requires comprehensive ecological information," Morin said, ending the teasing.
"Scent. Skin flakes. And more."
"Only by contacting these can you transform accurately."
"And I blocked all of it."
"When you transformed just now, you relied purely on visual data. That's why the result was distorted."
Mystique's shapeshifting had always lacked a clear explanation.
A glance alone couldn't reveal fingerprints or irises.
Yet she could perfectly replicate them.
Everything required a basis.
Morin's conclusion, based on all available information, was simple.
Mystique absorbed ecological data unconsciously.
Scent. Skin cells. Saliva.
All carried information.
Her ability captured it.
From the moment Morin arrived in this world, he controlled his body precisely.
An invisible magical barrier filtered everything.
And the result proved him right.
Raven's transformation looked vaguely like Morin.
But distorted.
Unnatural.
Like a portrait splashed with random paint.
"Why do I suddenly feel disgusted..." Raven muttered.
Accepting that her shapeshifting relied on absorbing those things made her nauseous.
Wasn't that basically-
"Garbage?"
The thought alone made her shiver.
She developed a psychological shadow on the spot.
"What's there to be disgusted about?" Morin said, baffled.
"Can any human avoid this?"
"You can," Raven shot back.
"...Well," Morin paused.
"I'm human. I just use a few tricks."
"And besides, if you can't see it, pretend it doesn't exist. You don't feel it anyway."
Then he added kindly,
"Treat it as formless, qualityless information only you can perceive."
"Give it a name."
"Shimmer Code."
Morin remembered a hero from League of Legends-Neeko.
She shapeshifted using a substance called Shimmer.
Thinking about it that way...
Yeah.
Still disgusting.
Morin complained inwardly.
"Enough of that," Morin said, his expression turning serious.
"This is the real reason you need to study."
"Do you actually understand your shapeshifting?"
"What do you mean?" Raven asked.
"Is it surface-level?" Morin asked.
"Or is it a complete transformation-inside and out?"
"I... think..." Raven hesitated.
She had never considered it.
"Simple test," Morin said.
"Turn into a man. See if the internal structure matches."
"We can use a CT scan later."
"But in my opinion..."
"You almost certainly transform inside and out."
He said "almost."
In reality, he was sure.
The Sentinels were built using Raven's blood.
They could absorb genes and mimic powers.
They were even stronger than the originals.
That nearly wiped mutants out.
If her cells could do that-
Why couldn't she?
Eric and Charles had known outcomes.
Raven didn't.
That made it worth trying.
Success or failure was the student's responsibility.
As a teacher, Morin treated everyone equally.
"But... what's the difference?" Raven asked.
"If it's only surface-level, nothing," Morin said calmly.
"But if it's full transformation..."
He smiled and looked at Eric and Charles.
"Are you jealous of their abilities?"
"...A little," Raven admitted.
"If it's genetic-level transformation," Morin said,
"then your ability involves genetic mimicry."
"And if that reaches its limit..."
"100% mimicry isn't impossible."
"I think you understand what that means."
Raven: "..."
She didn't.
Should she ask?
But the teacher's expression said this was obvious.
Would asking make her look stupid?
Seeing her silent for too long, Morin sighed.
He finally understood how teachers felt.
"The result," Morin said flatly,
"is that you can completely become someone else."
"And gain their abilities."
"Including mutant powers."
