Normally, I'd agree, but Kitty kind of sums up why many of the students can't do stuff like that:
Many of them don't have the resources that the New Mutants had (Cable) or the utilities that the Hopeless kids had (Beast and his scientifically-advanced RV) And X-Editorial seems to only hand out certain X-students to other offices at certain times.
Not to mention, we sort of were fooled on how this whole "we wanna graduate already" plot was gonna go. Not only is Hisako the only one who feels that way, but it makes her come off as bratty since she didn't get to go on one little mission with the X-Men after being on Gold for however many issues. And the X-Students seem to be purposely being nerfed just so the adults can come off looking like the sensible heroes. Seriously, Armor has taken down Fing Fang Foom, Pixie managed to trick eldritch gods into killing themselves with her pixie dust, Rockslide.....is Rockslide, yet they manage to lose out to the MLF????? Of all villains????????? And the plane crash is a weak excuse because that wouldn't stop Pixie from forming her Soul Dagger and using her
mutant ability. But alas.
