There were many students at the Mutant Academy.
Each student possessed extraordinary abilities.
If they stayed calm, this fire wouldn't be a problem for the students.
Both Iceman and Human Torch could easily handle something like this.
Even Colossus could rush in and put out the fire; it wouldn't be difficult.
Most of the students here were quite young, perhaps only in their early teens.
Those with stronger control over their abilities, like Colossus, were studying elsewhere. They weren't as perceptive as Xu Fu and Logan.
Naturally, they couldn't get here in time.
By the time they arrived, Xu Fu had already extinguished the fire.
Superman's freezing breath was truly an over-the-top ability.
With this ability, he could even extinguish a star in space! Even though Xu Fu had only just mastered this ability, using it to put out a fire was like using a cannon to swat a mosquito.
White, frosty air continuously poured from Xu Fu's mouth. Ordinary flames couldn't burn in this frost.
At first, some white steam appeared, but later, only white ice crystals remained.
The thick black smoke and spreading flames were extinguished directly.
Only the traces of ice crystals covering the building could prove that a fire had occurred here.
"Hu!"
"That was quite taxing."
Xu Fu exhaled deeply.
Logan: ???
Taxing?
How could he not see that at all?
He only saw Xu Fu blow a few breaths and the icy air directly extinguished the fire.
Even faster than Iceman.
"Which of you is Iceman?"
Logan didn't know what to say.
The older Mutant Academy students, who had rushed over upon hearing the news and had a better grasp of their abilities, were also stunned.
"Weren't we told there was a fire?"
Colossus asked in a deep voice.
Compared to the other students, Colossus was the most steady and reliable, giving off a trustworthy vibe, completely devoid of the usual gruffness of other Russians.
As he spoke, a student who looked around ten years old replied.
"There was indeed a fire, but Xu Fu put it out."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned toward Xu Fu.
Several teachers from the Mutant Academy, along with Colossus, Iceman, and Human Torch, three of the stronger young mutants, repeatedly sized up Xu Fu, the guy who had recently become quite famous.
Not all the teachers at the Mutant Academy were X-Men members.
The teachers at the Mutant Academy could be considered the X-Men's reserve team. The current X-Men members were just a few of the more famous and powerful ones.
Moreover, the Mutant Academy at this time hadn't yet gathered a large number of mutants like it would later.
The teachers present here were only about five or six people.
They had also followed along.
Their gazes at Xu Fu were filled with astonishment.
"Stop staring, get in there and save them."
"See if there are any injured kids inside."
Logan's voice rang out.
Only then did everyone come to their senses, rushing into the building together.
The Mutant Academy's education was still very effective.
Most of the children could control their abilities, putting them to some use.
So, under the fire, not many children had major problems.
Only a few children were injured, and most of the children were a little panicked.
Xu Fu also took on a babysitting role.
He helped comfort and care for some of the younger mutants, keeping him extremely busy.
Meanwhile, over there.
Iceman and Human Torch were huddled together.
Looking at the ice crystals on the surrounding buildings, Human Torch clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Who's the real Iceman here? That guy also seems to be able to control ice."
"You're not the only Iceman."
"Our brothers and sisters, their abilities are originally diverse, it's normal for them to have similar abilities."
"Bobby, Iceman, spoke first."
Among the next generation at the Mutant Academy, Iceman and Colossus were the most reliable.
He didn't think much of it, compared to Human Torch, who was so unstable.
Iceman didn't react to Human Torch's words.
Seeing this, Human Torch shook his head and began to deal with the surrounding things, working with the other teachers to take the mutant children out.
After everything was dealt with, Xu Fu found a place to rest.
With his physical strength, he naturally wouldn't be tired from doing these things.
However.
Anyone who has looked after children knows it's not just physically tiring, but mentally draining too.
Plus, Xu Fu was a very lazy guy to begin with, so he naturally looked for ways to slack off whenever he could.
He hadn't been slacking for long when he saw Logan walking over, a cigar clamped between his teeth.
Just by looking at his weary eyes, Xu Fu knew.
Even for this tough guy of the X-Men, taking care of children was a very torturous thing.
Xu Fu made space for Logan, who took a deep breath and plopped down beside him.
Whew.
Logan exhaled a puff of smoke before turning his gaze to Xu Fu.
"How did you do that?"
Logan's eyes were filled with confusion.
As everyone knew, mutants usually only had one ability.
The diverse abilities displayed by mutants were actually just different ways of deeply developing their core abilities, each manifesting differently.
For example, Professor X's mind reading, mental stasis, and telepathic communication were all abilities developed based on his primary ability.
But the abilities Xu Fu had developed were too far removed from his original ability, weren't they?
You, a guy with a body full of muscles, actually mastered an ability similar to Iceman's control over ice. Isn't that a bit ridiculous?
Even Logan, a living fossil in mutant history, was somewhat baffled.
He hadn't seen anything this ridiculous even during his fights with the Hellfire Club back in the day.
Facing Logan's confusion, Xu Fu simply curled the corners of his mouth into a slight smile.
"Isn't this a simple matter?"
"For us mutants, isn't mastering abilities as easy as eating and drinking?"
"Maybe I underwent a secondary mutation, I'm not sure."
Xu Fu shook his head slightly.
That's the good thing about Mutants; no matter how absurd your abilities appear, it won't arouse suspicion from other mutants.
Because there are always mutants whose abilities are even more absurd than yours.
"Is that so?"
Logan was dumbfounded.
He felt that what Xu Fu said was a little off, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
In the end, Logan could only sigh and attribute everything to Xu Fu's extraordinary talent.
Mutant abilities were truly unreasonable.
In the past hundred years, he had seen far too many strange and bizarre mutants!
"Your talent is truly rare."
"There aren't many mutants like you who possess a second ability."
"Cherish your gift."
Logan clapped Xu Fu hard on the shoulder.
He then stubbed out his cigar on his palm, and with a pat on his own rear, he was off.
Xu Fu watched his retreating figure, stroking his chin.
This Wolverine didn't seem as irritable as he'd imagined.
