Oppression, Resistance and Revolution - Friday
“Good morning, class,” Magneto said after everyone had taken their seats. “My name is Erik Lehnsherr. For the purpose of this class you may address me as... professor.”
He smirked a little at that before continuing.
“Now, I’m sure many of you know me by a very different name. That is a topic for a different day. For those of you who might be curious, feel free to ask Mr. Starsmore who is a teacher here or Miss Pryde at the local bar. I’m sure they have some delightful tales to tell you.”
Giving his class a smirk, he began to walk up and down the rows of desks and began to lecture.
“This class is entitled Oppression, Resistance and Revolution,” he continued. “Which will entail both lecture as well as practical labs. As part of this course we will be looking at the history of oppression, resistance and revolution throughout history. We will discuss its roots and its effect on society. I realize that many of you may not be from this planet or perhaps from an alternate line of history. For the purpose of this class, I shall be drawing examples from my own world. I expect all of you to provide your own examples as you see fit. Before we begin our class exercise today, Mr. Kaplan will be the TA for the course. Mr. Kaplan? Please see me after class for instructions.If he's here.”
Coming full circle, Magneto took his place in front of the class. “Now, I understand it’s typically a tradition in this school to start class with introductions. I do not feel that is necessary. Instead I would like for you all to go around the room and tell me about a cause you feel is worth dying for.”
And then with a random point of his finger, Magneto selected his first student. “You. Begin.”

Re: Talk to Magneto
He paused for a moment trying to consider whether or not he should tell Billy about their first meeting in his timeline. He dismissed the idea. The so-called "Iron Lad" would no doubt do enough damage to their timeline. Warnings would only possibly make matters worse.
"Tell me, Billy. How much training with your powers have you received here?"
Re: Talk to Magneto
Mentioning that probably shouldn't have felt so weird, and yet...
Re: Talk to Magneto
Or at least judging from the news podcasts. Those were weird enough as it is.
Especially since it was written by squirrels.
"As for training, we may have to do something about that. If I've learned anything from Xavier, training young mutants for tomorrow is paramount. Especially now since there is so little of us."
