A certain man from the motherland

In the exercise room.

The barbell was released and floated more than two meters high. Raven was startled and sat up quickly.

"If half of your attention is covering up your differences, you're not going to do what you're supposed to do."

Magneto walked in slowly and said.

What he meant was that Mystique had just been working out hard with a barbell.

"Your power is more than this, why hide it?"

Mystique has blue skin with fine scales. Unlike ordinary people, she has a certain degree of physical strengthening.

Heavy barbells would be strenuous for ordinary people, but they shouldn't be like this for her.

But she has been distracted by maintaining the appearance of an ordinary person, covering up her original appearance, and is unable to use her full strength.

brush!

Magneto's eyes moved and he gave up control of the barbell.

call!

The heavy 100kg barbell fell from the air with the sound of wind.

Raven was forced to return to her original blue skin and yellow eyes. She no longer maintained her appearance and could catch the barbell steadily without any effort.

Indeed, just as Magneto said, she has been distracted to hide her true appearance.

But no one likes to be lectured by unfamiliar people, especially Magneto's impolite behavior, which is annoying.

"I guess you can stand here and say this to me.

Because you have never been abandoned as a monster, you have been a wanderer since you were a child, you were thrown stones by children, and you were shouted at to get away, you will never be accepted by society as an alien."

She said angrily.

"You want society to accept you, but you don't even accept your true self."

Shaking his head slightly, Magneto spoke seriously, with an infectious confidence and smile on his face.

"If I were you, I would never hide my appearance. You should be proud. You are born different. You are a miracle and a pioneer."

"We mutants are at the forefront of evolution ahead of everyone else. Now you are like Copernicus after discovering the truth. You are afraid of being labeled a heretic, so you try your best to hide yourself and blend in with the stupid common people."

Raven, who has experienced many very sensitive experiences since she was a child, can feel that Magneto is not just talking casually. He really feels that way. If he were like her, would he really do that?

Could it be that I was wrong? I am obviously a leader, but I want to blend in with the ordinary people who are lagging behind on the road of evolution?

After Magneto finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Mystique behind who was lost in thought and confusion.

"I have always only wanted to cover up and never thought of accepting myself. Is it wrong?"

She put down the barbell and showed her struggle.

There was a knock on the door, and Ron crossed his arms and leaned against the door.

"Ron!"

Raven exclaimed, because she was now her original self, she turned around and wanted to change back, back to that beautiful girl with blond hair and brown eyes.

But thinking about the discrimination when she was a child, she felt inexplicably sad and angry. She stopped moving and turned back to look at Ron.

"You see, this is actually my true appearance, ugly and weird, like a beast, like a devil."

"I did see it, and I also heard what he said just now."

Putting down her arms and walking in slowly, Ron did not comfort her, indicating that he heard what Magneto said to her.

"Do you think he is right? I was wrong to hide myself all this time?"

But seeing that Ron's expression did not change, showing no fear or disgust, Raven seemed to be comforted and asked slightly nervously.

She is confused and now needs a recognized person to help her get out of the fork in the road.

"What he said is not wrong in a sense."

Ron chuckled.

This time can be said to be one of the key points in Mystique's life.

It was after listening to Magneto's call today that she refused Hank's development of a serum that claimed to restore her appearance to a normal person, and she has been showing off her blue-skinned appearance ever since.

"Really? You also think I did something wrong."

Lowering her head, Raven murmured softly. She was already shaken and began to consider whether to face people with her true colors in the future.

"No, you are not wrong."

He shook his head slightly, thinking that Ruiwen was right, and objected.

"Everyone can tell you the truth, but there are very few people who can do it.

People are often not as strong as they think.”

There are a few people who can theoretically achieve the state of mind of a saint, have a terrifyingly tenacious spirit, do not care about honor or disgrace, do not care about the strange looks from others, and live peacefully by themselves.

Magneto thought he could do it, but that was because he thought he had never really faced it.

"Copernicus was indeed a pioneer of science, but after he summarized the heliocentric theory, he was afraid of the consequences of this theory and did not publish it for thirty years. He lived well until he died of old age in bed."

"On the other hand, his student Bruno vigorously promoted the heliocentric theory after his death. He was denounced as a heretic by the church and burned alive as people applauded and watched."

Speaking of the example Magneto gave earlier, Ron spoke with great sincerity.

"Ruiwen, the new era has not yet come. People who are too advanced will not be understood and accepted by people of the old era!"

People cannot be separated from society, and their decisions must take into account the progress of the times.

"I...I understand."

Ruiwen nodded, her eyes became firm after hearing this, and she hesitated to ask a question of great concern.

"Ron, how do I look to you now?"

"Are you going to tell the truth?"
