Magnus slid a few more pieces to Jax, so now the new guy had a fourth plate while the senior student only had two plates but he knew he could make more later if the mood struck him. Clearly, this guy needed to make up for some lost meals. 

"I could poke your eye with a chopstick and see if you scream or not. Much faster than than a day in the tank, not that you are getting out of it. but it could be a simpler way to find out."

He listened to the simple rebuttal of the bug-boy and for a moment his mind went somewhere else. His solid black eyes didn't betray any looks of horror but his chewing slowed as if he was a bit longer in thought than he should be. 'A taste of medicine' was the cure and in his lifeline the cure was a poison of the x-gene. In a moment he was back again.

"Eye for an eye leaves the world blind", but, "In the world of the blind, the one eyed man is king." Then again, Matthew "And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire."

He let the rapid fire of quotes hammer Jax as he spoke up on the different topic. Part of life in the school was having to keep several things in one's head, moreso when one became an x-man, keeping code-names at minimum was something you had to keep compartmentalized along with a dozen facts in play all at once. This was a personal test of Magnus with no instruction of Xaviers, he has just seen rookies drop like rocks because they got confused.

"As long as any other college. We have accountants, mathematicians, doctors of medicine as well as other fields, computer technician, meteorologist, zoologists. A to Z really as well as just general education. Part of the goal for many is not to become x-men, but be able to live a healthy normal life, an accountant who happens to control ice or a doctor with x-ray vision to look at bones. Xaviers dream is to never need to know or care there is a mutant sitting next to you on the bus... Than again some are easier to be ignored than others. You turned into your form over puberty, I was born blue with a tail like my father who was nearly killed at childbirth."
