When hearing this answer, Magneto and Polaris felt ridiculous at the same time.
Although ordinary people couldn't see any impact on what just happened, and even Scott, a mutant, didn't know what kind of competition the father and daughter had gone through in their professional fields, they themselves were very confused.
clear.
It is not difficult to imprison Polaris. What is difficult is that he can neither hold her in place nor hurt her. This is Magneto's first time doing this. In the past, he has directly used violent means to restrain Polaris.
This was also the first time that Polaris was deprived of all his abilities before he could even unleash his power. He didn't even have a chance to have a fight to vent his emotions, so he was forced to calm down.
This is the first time that Magneto has poured cold water on someone in this way, and it is also the first time that Polaris has been doused with ice water from head to toe.
However, Magneto felt more relieved than usual.
In fact, Magneto is not willing to fight with Polaris at all. How could he like to bully the small with his pride? His power and Polaris's power are not at the same level at all. What's the point of completely crushing them?
It can't be said to be a training of fighting skills, it can't even be called a fight at all. It can only be said to be a one-sided bullying. Suppressing Polaris with force is meaningless to Magneto. It is not a victory at all.
Although Magneto is serious, stubborn and unable to speak, he is not a pervert who likes to abuse his biological daughter. Polaris provokes him and he subdues Polaris. After repeating this process countless times, he only feels bored.
However, if he doesn't do this, he won't be able to let Polaris provoke him. He doesn't have such a good temper and needs to maintain his prestige.
Therefore, after several such conflicts, Magneto has lost all patience. As long as Polaris shows any signs of provoking him, he will directly solve it with force.
In Magneto's understanding, she has to fight sooner or later. Putting the North Star there early can also make her say less stupid things.
But in fact, there is no sense of achievement at all. It's like driving screws on an assembly line. If you succeed once or twice, you may feel a sense of satisfaction that demonstrates your power. But after repeating it dozens or hundreds of times, it's just a routine.
boring.
However, this time, Magneto actually felt a hint of gloating.
There is no doubt that his stupid and rebellious daughter had just given in, but she suffered such a big loss just because of something as trivial as not knocking on the door.
Polaris was even more devastated. She looked at Schiller with a very serious look and asked: "...Are you sick?!"
Schiller didn't say anything. He stood up and took two steps back. He stood by the door, his index and middle fingers close together, his muscles exerted slight force, and he flicked the door with his fingertips, making a crisp "click" sound.
"Stop sitting on the floor, it's very cold. Miss Lorna, if you have anything to do, we can go to the sofa to talk in detail...stand up."
Polaris sat there and exhaled. She pursed her lips and stood up. She looked at Schiller with a stubborn look. Just when she was about to do something, Schiller turned back to Magneto and said:
"Eric, have you told anyone in advance that you don't want to be disturbed during this time? Is this your guest time?"
"I don't have guest time," Magneto replied.
"Okay, Miss Lorna, it seems that you need to call this office in advance and ask if we are free to receive your visit." Schiller looked into Polaris's eyes again and said.
"You should know that your father has a bad temper. If you don't call in advance, you may disturb his rest, which will make him very irritable and you will be scolded."
"But I can't blame him entirely. If I were broken into the office during non-reception hours, I would also feel very irritable, wouldn't you?"
Polaris stared, and just about to answer "No", Schiller showed a smile and said: "If you don't mind, when you go to bed in the middle of the night today, I will call you and talk to you about Hegel."
philosophical……"
When the words came to his lips, Polaris silently closed his mouth and swallowed the rebuttal words in his stomach, because, looking at his posture today, Schiller definitely meant what he said. Polaris didn't want to be called up to attend class at three o'clock in the morning today.
"Actually, it's not normal for Eric to have no hospitality time. I think it's impossible for you to guess."
"How about this, according to my hospitality time, now I can receive visitors, so you don't have to call, but you have to knock on the door. This is basic courtesy."
Polaris's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, but then she showed a strange expression, wondering how she could be so easily satisfied and why she could enter this room without making a phone call and just knocking on the door.
And feel happy.
However, Polaris still shook his head, cleared his throat, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
"Please come in, miss." Schiller gave up his seat, and Polaris walked in with his head held high, walked to the sofa, sat down, crossed his legs, folded his arms, and began to glare at Magneto.
Scott, who was following Polaris, covered his eyes. Very rarely, he did not sit next to Polaris, but sat opposite her.
Magneto stood behind the table, recalling the series of interactions between Schiller and Polaris in the past few minutes.
This gave him a very strange feeling. He had never seen or imagined similar incidents and this kind of handling method.
Is Schiller as gentle as Professor X?
In fact, no, during the whole process, he acted very tough. If Polaris didn't give him an answer, he would first pour cold water on Polaris, making her fall into a state of embarrassment, and then constantly use psychological pressure to force her to answer.
, step by step to strengthen control and guide Polaris to make the reaction he wants.
Magneto knows very well that it is impossible to make Polaris perform this series of actions by using violence, because he has already tried it.
Forcibly holding down Polaris with violence will only make her more and more irritable, and she will start to resist constantly, even regardless of her own physical condition, and fall into an extreme madness.
But was Schiller rough?
That's not the case. During this series of confrontations, he behaved politely and kept calling Polaris "Miss Lorna". He did not use any insulting words, did not ridicule her, did not educate her condescendingly, and did not even speak to her.
A great truth.
However, Polaris did as he was told, and did not feel humiliated or sad afterwards. He even felt a little elated, completely forgetting how angry and broken he was at the beginning.
What is going on? Magneto fell into thinking.
"I have just recovered from my anxiety disorder, and the symptoms of neurasthenia have not completely disappeared. The noise you made when you rushed in scared me. My heart rate has not completely dropped yet."
Schiller also sat opposite Polaris. Hearing what he said, Polaris was stunned for a moment. She was about to speak, but Schiller said in a surprised tone: "So Scott didn't tell you? My old man
Oh my god, it seems I misunderstood you!"
"Let me just say, how could a well-educated and compassionate young lady be so inconsiderate of a mentally ill patient who has not yet recovered? It turns out you don't know."
After saying that, Schiller stood up again, brought a cup of hot tea, and gently placed it in front of Polaris. However, Polaris suddenly seemed a little at a loss.
Schiller smiled and said to her: "Miss Lorna, I heard Professor X say that you are actually a thoughtful person, so you should have cared about me and Professor X when you first met Scott.
Your physical condition?"
Polaris coughed awkwardly and said hesitantly: "Well, I...actually..."
Polaris looked at Scott with a look like asking for help, but Scott was not a very good cover-up person. He just opened his mouth lamely and said: "Ah, yes, Lorna asked me, maybe it was me.
I didn’t make it clear…”
But at this time, Polaris realized that Scott wanted to take the blame for her. If Scott admitted it, wouldn't it appear that he had no emotional intelligence? Faced with his friend's concern for his teacher, he gave a perfunctory answer.
?
If Scott really admitted it, it might leave a bad impression on Schiller. Professor X might also know about it. If it spread, Scott's reputation might be affected.
.
Like other second-generation mutants, Polaris has a very big advantage, that is, she is very loyal to her friends. She immediately said: "It has nothing to do with Scott, it's just... I forgot, I came here in a hurry,
I didn’t have time to ask…”
"Oh, that's it, it doesn't matter." Schiller nodded, with no intention of pursuing further investigation. Just as Polaris breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Schiller raise another question about death:
"Then, why are you in such a hurry to come here?"
Polaris stretched out a hand and covered half of her face. In this atmosphere, what should she say? Is she worried about Magneto and Schiller getting into a fight?
Polaris knew that the purpose of coming here was to prevent Magneto from leaving a bad impression on Schiller.
But if she says now, Magneto is a completely annoying violent maniac, I'm afraid he will fight with you. On the one hand, this will definitely lower Magneto's impression in Schiller's mind, which is completely opposite to her own goal.
.
On the other hand, Schiller may not know what the conflict is between father and daughter. According to ordinary people's understanding, if a daughter talks about her father like this, wouldn't her own reputation be ruined?
Polaris was there, opening his mouth for a long time, unable to say a word, while Magneto, who was standing behind the table, was even more gloating.
When one person is unlucky, it is called unlucky. When two people are unlucky, it is fun.
If you fall into the pit first, you may feel sad, but if you watch the second person fall into the pit, you will be very happy. Magneto has such a mentality now.
It didn’t matter that he was stumped by Schiller’s double-blocked problem. Polar Star, who bared his teeth and screamed in front of him every day, and was rebellious 365 days a year, was also stumped by Schiller’s double-blocked problem. That was very interesting.
Already.
In order to watch Polaris' wonderful expression up close, Magneto even walked behind Schiller, opposite Polaris, and looked at her condescendingly to see how his stupid daughter planned to answer Schiller's question.
Polaris is not stupid either. He first looked at Schiller's smiling expression, and then looked up at Magneto's half-smiling expression.
Polaris, who has always wanted to be strong in his life, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, showed a fake smile, looked into Magneto's eyes and said:
