Alex really liked the idea of the in-person race to promote the game, so he quickly ordered the Oasis AI to contact NY state representatives to organize this, as Alex was making the game's first map based on this. city.
With Oasis sorting that out for him, Alex just spent the next few days developing NFS while taking advantage of his free time to play ESW with the X-Men group.
"Alex, have you seen the new game Mojang is developing?! I'm dying to try it!" Scott said excitedly as they killed a group of monsters.
"I'm dying to customize an Rx7… it looks like the customization in that game is going to be amazing!" Kurt added, also excited.
Hearing them start talking about it again made the girls roll their eyes.
Seeing their reaction, Alex laughed, wondering what they had to hear from these two talking endlessly about this.
"I saw it, I just hope I can recreate my GTR there." Alex laughed.
"I also want to know if there will be a car like my Shelby…" Scott commented, imagining that he could try out all the modifications he ever felt like in the game, and maybe even buy it for real life.
"Hey guys, it's my turn in line!" Jean said excitedly.
Hearing her exclamation, everyone became excited as they surrounded her.
"Which Skill did you choose again?" Alex asked, since he wasn't with them when they reached level 10.
"I chose Fire Blast, what do you think?" She asked Alex's opinion out of concern, as he was the only true wizard in the group.
Hearing her response, Alex responded relaxedly. "I'm glad you chose Fire Blast, this Skill is much better than Fire Ball in real life, since there's no casting time."
But as Alex finished answering, he soon remembered something.
'Can this fire magic awaken the Phoenix within her?' He thought shocked.
Startled, Alex didn't think twice as he hurriedly spoke to the group. "Jean, do me a favor and don't confirm the Skill choice until I return to the game again. I'll go to your mansion and only when I get there will you confirm it, ok?!"
Seeing how scared Alex was, the group went on alert. "Alex, is everything okay?" Anna asked.
Shaking his head, Alex spoke. "I don't have time to explain everything right now, please Jean, just promise me that you won't learn this Skill until I get there, okay?"
Jean, who was previously happy, was now scared by the way Alex was acting, but seeing how serious he was, she just nodded her head as she responded. "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Hearing her confirmation, Alex finally sighed a little less worried as he logged out of the game.

As Jean had already assured him that she would wait for him to get there until confirming the Skill, Alex decided to ask Bee to transform into the GTR to go to the X mansion, since it would be difficult to explain why he could teleport like Notch if he used Kamui to teleport there.
Fortunately the trip was short, and with the high speed that Bee was able to reach, Alex got there in a few minutes.
When he parked the car in front of the entrance to the X mansion, Alex came face to face with Ororo, Logan and Professor Xavier, who were waiting for him at the door next to Anna, who had a worried expression.
"I'm glad you're already here…" Alex commented as he got out of the car and hugged Anna.
"What happened Alex, Anna just told us that you were coming to help Jean and that it seemed like something very urgent." Professor asked worriedly, since from what he heard from Anna, it seemed like Jean was in danger.
Looking at the Professor, Alex sighed lightly.
"Professor, I think what will happen to Jean is also partially your fault…" Alex said. "When I met Jean, I could feel a very strong magical power within her, but it felt like that magical power was sealed by something. Considering you're the most powerful telepath I've ever met, you must know something about this, right?"
Hearing this, Ororo, Logan and Anna were confused as they looked at Charles, wondering if what Alex said was right.
When Charles heard what Alex said, he knew what he was talking about.
Sighing, Charles confirmed. "Yes, when we met Jean I also felt that power within her, but as she was very young, I was worried that that power would take over her, as it was already doing when we met her, and so I sealed those powers in her mind. her."
With the Professor's explanation, Ororo, Logan and Anna were shocked, as they had lived with Jean for years and had no idea that this was happening in her mind.
"For you to come in such a hurry, will something happen to that power in her mind?" Ororo asked, already understanding what was happening.
Alex nodded in agreement. "Yes, Jean chose to learn a fire spell at ESW, and considering the amount of fire elements I sensed in her mind, I'm worried that this spell might unseal her mind and let that power out."
"What will happen if this power goes out?" Anna asked worriedly.
Looking into her eyes, Alex looked around and responded. "I think everything around us is going to be destroyed. The power contained in her mind is much more powerful than you imagine, if we don't deal with it, it's possible that half the city will be destroyed when she loses control."
Hearing Alex's response, the three of them were extremely shocked.
Even Charles, since he didn't imagine that the seal he made in her mind could cause such great damage!
"Do you know what we can do to help?" Charles asked in a serious voice.
"The wisest thing to do is decide whether we will empty the mansion or take Jean to a secluded place." Alex replied, making them sigh.
Looking at the mansion, Charles asked. "If we move her while she's in ESW, could that cause any consequences?"
"No, there are even people who play games while on planes, as long as she is aware of what will happen in real life, everything will be fine." Alex explained. "But I don't know of a place where we could take her…"
"I know…" Charles said. "Go talk to her at ESW, I'll let the other students know that we're leaving while Logan prepares the jet for our trip.
"Right." Alex nodded as he went with Anna to the room where Jean was.
As the girls decided to play together, Anna, Kitty and Jean were together in Kitty's room.
'I don't know if CounterSpell will work with Jean, it leaves me with few alternatives to deal with Phoenix…' Alex thought worriedly, as this would be the biggest challenge he would deal with since he came to this world.
Even Magneto was nothing compared to the Phoenix Force.
'I hope it all right.' He thought as he walked into ESW to tell Jean what they were planning to do.
According to their idea, Kitty, Jean, Scott, Kurt and Anna would stay with Jean at ESW, while Alex would take Jean's body with the teachers.
But Alex wouldn't explain to Jean about the power sealed in her mind before going to an isolated place, as he was worried that this could become a trigger for her to freak out and release the Phoenix.
