She'd been expecting something like this for some time now. She'd heard the rumors going around. At least they replaced the ones about her and Ed, especially after he'd been named Talon Squad Leader. But either way she knew the truth and that was what really mattered. She'd already spoken to Dr. McCoy about the rumors and put him at peace.
"Calm down Pup. You and her have different levels of tolerance. Sure she can absorb a lot of damage when fully powered but when all is said and done Jean Grey Academy is nothing but flaming rubble. Well for now, I'm kinda working on that. Besides, it's not like she intentionally half blinded me. We'll get to how you know all that later I guess."
He knew there were always rumors spread. This was a high school after all. It didn't take long for rumors to go. All it took was someone to see them together and begin thinking things. She was used to rumors being spread about her and a student. It did seem to happen quite a bit. Which was bull when she knew male teachers were sleeping with their students but no one said anything.
Yes she could've given him a flawed plan if she wanted. But she was also his teacher and she needed to ensure that he did actually learn things. She leaned back and thought to herself quietly.
"Oh it's quite simple. My senses were dulled and you have claws. Attack from behind and sever tendons. I would've been left in a heap for some time, long enough to call you the winner. You go through all that work to play dirty and then hesitate to use your claws. If you had been so insistent on honor you would've openly challenged me to a fight in an open room face to face. You put in all the work and then collapsed at the end. It's like spending hours studying math and then getting high on heroine before the test. All that work for nothing, and of course the vest was useless, I have adamantium claws. You might as well have been wearing a T-shirt."
She rolled her eyes at the smoke rings and shook her head. SHe'd expected better of him, but given everything that happened it makes sense.
"I mean yes I held back too, I'm no better I guess. I could've ended it almost right away but hesitated. Perhaps I wanted to see if you had it in you to win by any means."
