Chapitre 39: Chapter 39: Do you want to try me? I promise it will be a fun experience
"Go easy on her, Logan."
It was already the afternoon, and at this time, Emma was finally going to test her power. Who could be a better punching bag than Logan?
At this time, they weren't in the X-Men training facility, the Danger Room, but in an open playground.
Joking aside, Emma didn't know if it was like in Astonishing X-Men, where the Danger Room's A.I. becomes self-aware. She didn't need to find out; the less trouble, the better for her.
Hearing Scott say this to her, she gave him a dead glare, making the latter, who was playing it cool, shudder. If not for being in front of the students, she would have very much liked to punch him.
Logan also obviously wanted to curse Scott. His beast instinct was already telling him she was strong, and now that Scott had made her angry, he was cooked.
He murmured, "Thanks for that, Summers. Real helpful."
Anyway, he wasn't someone to back down. Cracking his neck, he said, "Don't hold back. I'm not as breakable as Summers."
Emma, who was in the yellow X-Men suit with her golden hair tied in two low pigtails, replied, "Okay, hope you're as durable as you say."
Without another word, Wolverine charged. Anyway, he would never dare to be arrogant and underestimate a mutant at the same level as Jean.
Emma was obviously waiting for Logan to respond and play the young master. She didn't expect him to be shameless and attack her by surprise. Fortunately, ninjas were used to sneak attacks, and she dodged.
While dodging, she used her chakra, making her fist glow. Fortunately, Logan dodged, but still—Boom!
The ground cracked as Tsunade's fist collided with the earth, sending rocks and debris flying in all directions.
This left all the people watching dumbfounded. The woman who was always smiling freely and talking so easily with her 106 didn't seem like she had such power inside her.
"Huh, it seems we should never make the new teacher angry," one of the students murmured, and the rest instinctively nodded in agreement.
"Ah, sneak attack? You're not a gentleman, Logan." Logan wasn't seeing Emma's smile but a devil with horns. Had he taken that punch, he might have been pasted meat.
After all, it was only for the show that she used a punch with about 13 tons of power, and Emma dissipated her chakra afterward.
"Guess I have to take this too seriously." With the three claws in each of his hands, Logan was no longer joking.
Emma was confident in her power. She didn't plan to show her ninjutsu, but even without it, the only way for Logan to defeat her was through plot armor, because Tsunade was as experienced as him in fighting and stronger in terms of raw power.
This time, Logan threw himself at her more cautiously, with his claws gleaming like newly refined steel.
He was so quick, attacking from the left, but it was a feint. At the last moment, he swung at her right side with his claws, without holding back. Anyway, she should be able to heal herself if injured, right?
Unfortunately for him, although his speed was incredible, it was only comparable to a normal Jonin at best, let alone someone with Kage-level power who specialized in physical combat.
When his claws reached her, they met only a blur—she had sidestepped and avoided his attack cleanly, like a work of art.
Before Logan could recover, Emma retaliated. Without using her chakra, she clenched her fist and aimed straight for his chest.
Logan barely managed to cross his arms in front of him to protect himself, but even so, the punch sent him flying backward.
"I, Emma, would like to call you the toughest person to take my hit head-on with your power."
Well, Emma decided to take Master Madara's line just to play it cool. Guess it worked since many students watching the fight were now looking at her in awe.
Logan, who had just managed to stand up in order to defend his dignity in front of the students, couldn't help but roll his eyes at what she said.
At this point, he was coughing up blood and gasping hard. It was only because he healed fast that he managed to stand up. Had it been anyone else, they might have been pasted to the wall or simply exploded from that punch.
"Yup, she is definitely an Omega-level mutant," murmured Kitty, recalling her earlier teasing. Rogue, who overheard, couldn't help but smile, really not good at keeping secrets.
Scott also swallowed his saliva, thinking about how he teased Logan and nearly made Emma angry. Fortunately, she took her anger out on Logan.
"Okay, I think that's enough for now." It was not a tone of negotiation or discussion but a unilateral announcement from Ororo, signaling the end of the fight.
Even if she was tough when it came to her emotions, how could she stand by and watch Emma ravage her boyfriend?
How could proud Logan, who prided himself on never going down in front of students, allow himself to be looked down upon in front of Storm?
He said, "Don't worry, I can do this all day."
His words were firm, but his body was honest. His breathing was labored, and his wounds were barely healing fast enough.
Anyway, Emma gave Ororo some face and turned back without replying to Logan. She looked at Scott and said, "Do you want to try me? I promise it will be a fun experience."
Scott didn't hesitate to shake his head, but to maintain his coolness, he said, "I'll pass. You already destroyed the training ground. Plus, my powers are different from Logan's, and I can't totally control myself. Let's do it next time in the Danger Room."
"Tsk, tsk, coward." Emma murmured, but Scott pretended not to hear her.
At that moment, the X-Men recalled the fear of fighting an Omega-level mutant. Despite his low mutant level, Logan was clearly one of the strongest X-Men in terms of combat ability, but he had only lasted about 15 seconds without Emma even using her energy powers. Of course, it might also be because he didn't give his 100%, as it wasn't a life-or-death battle.
