"You think he's a mutant, Professor?" Jean asked curiously, as she still could not hear the rest of Alex's mind.

Of course, just in case he chooses not to actively read Alex's mind, as it can remind him and invite unnecessary hostility.

Professor Xavier looked at Alex while thinking. She is surprised that she feels the same way Jean does about Alex's thoughts, as she can't hear anything even if she relinquishes some of her telepathic control.

Considering that his telepathy was several times stronger than Jean's telepathy, it already showed just how strong Alex's basic mental defenses were.

But unlike Jean, Professor Xavier's curiosity makes him decide to peek into Alex's mind, to make sure he's not a threat.

Using mental strength, Professor Xavier finds it strange that attacking Alex's mind is easier than he imagined. But contrary to what he imagined, he still could not see Alex's thoughts, and he was in a dark corridor.

Convinced by his telepathic powers, Professor Xavier begins to follow the corridor wondering what could happen, until he feels the tires of a large truck fall towards him!

Looking around, the Professor realized that he was surrounded by the tires of this truck!

Without a second thought he turned around and tried to escape to receive as little damage as possible, but the large tire still hit the Professor behind. As he floated, Ban made him fall to the ground, which happened to be filled with pieces of wood with iron nails pointing upward, he said, which caused severe injuries to the Professor when they trapped the rubber tire that was holding his back to the ground. .

Despite the pain, with a bit of mental strength Professor pushes the tyre that clamps him to the ground and re-enters Alex's mind.

With his strength, Professor is confident he can get through this tunnel fast enough to barely get hit by that tire, but he knows that the more mental strength he uses, the more, it's getting easier for Alex to detect that he's on his mind, so the Professor would rather get out of Alex's mind and keep things the way they are.

On returning to the real world, Professor felt his mind a little tired. Despite being hit by two weak traps, it still caused mental stress for the Professor.

This trap was copied by Alex from Fortnite Save The World, the Fortnite Tower Defense mode Alex played in the previous world. Using his knowledge of Occlumency, he created a trap corridor that worked exactly as he planned.

If Professor sees the great wall in front of him, the possibility of Professor trying to break the wall bit by bit is very high, but seeing the corridor open into Alex's mind, he decides to follow the corridor, which is what he wants to do, it is burdened with traps.

The tire trap on the ceiling and the Nailed Board was just the most basic trap Alex had placed at the beginning of the passageway, because they will not need much work to repair and will be enough to repel weaker mentalists. The deeper the opponent goes, the stronger the trap will be.

Jean looked at the Professor's tired expression and understood what he had just done.

Worried, he looked at Alex and saw that he was talking to another mutant as if nothing had happened, which made him sigh in relief.

Mutants were already heavily discriminated against, although he did not know they were mutants, Alex was one of their few normal friends. If he was offended by the Professor's interference, he would be very angry.

In fact, Alex notices the Professor's invasion, but he chooses to ignore it and let the Professor be the first test subject for his Occlumency defense, and as he imagined, it's perfect!

He makes this defense to confront Anna's power, which is as raw as a melee cannon fire, while the professor's invasion is more subtle, like multiple shots of a muffled gun with unlimited ammunition.

Although both attacks represented danger, the damage Alex prepared to deal with Anna was far greater than the Professor's attack.

"One day I'll teach you!" Evan said excitedly to Alex.

"of course! I think it's cool!" Alex responds with a positive smile to Evan's offer to teach him to skate one day, after Alex says he has never ridden it.

"How about you come with us, Anna?" Alex turned towards him and said with a smile.

Anna did not think twice and nodded, pleased by the invitation. "I want to!"

"Hey guys, let's play darts!" Kitty screamed in excitement as she took out a large target and a box of arrows.

Hearing this, the youths became excited and approached.

Anna looked at Alex and asked worriedly. "Do you want to play?"

Alex doesn't understand why he's worried and will accept it, but Bobby speaks first.

"Or are you afraid?" Said Bobby with a smug smile.

Alex: ????????

Perplexed, Alex looks at Anna trying to understand where she offended Bobby because he acted this way towards her.

Anna only sighed, knowing Bobby wanted to prove his fragile manhood before her and tried to humiliate Alex.

"Let's play, sounds fun." Alex just shook his head and ignored Bobby, only staring at Anna as Evan was already heading towards Kitty.

Anna was a little worried. As an X-men, almost everyone there received combat training, both to deal with hand-to-hand combat and to deal with long-range combat, that is, their goals were extremely high.

Especially Bobby who has the power to control the ice, because usually he throws ice from afar, his shot is even better than most other students.

Although he doesn't care about Alex being worse than anyone else in the prank, he also doesn't want Bobby to use him to try to embarrass Alex, who is his guest.

"Well, you seem confident, do you have any secrets?" He asked noticing Alex's facial expression that didn't look like he was just going to have fun.

"What about the bet?" Alex smiled, showing a tooth that Anna thought was very cute.

"What order?" He asked as he crossed his arms, already imagining what he wanted to bet on.

Seeing as Anna crossed her arms, ********** the older one grew, Alex thanked her for not taking off her sunglasses and turning her face before replying. "If I win, you'll come with me in my car."

Anna hears of Alex's bet and is very fond of the idea. If he were to ask her this without a bet, she would probably accept it, but since this was a bet, it made it much more fun for her. "Okay, what if you don't win?"

Alex put his hand on his chin and thought for a moment. "What if I let you make a request? Anyway, I've made my request in case I win."

Anna thought for a moment and nodded excitedly. "But it's just a car ride, no big deal, okay?"

Alex knows that even though Anna is shy, this request is not out of her embarrassment, but out of fear of hurting her with her powers.

Then he showed confidence and answered seriously. "Don't worry, I won't do anything you don't want."

Hearing that, Anna gave a small smile on her face and said as she walked towards Kitty. "So let's go!"

Bobby who was not far away heard their bet and got increasingly angry, until the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly.
