Wakanda Left He-El Speechless

New Century City.

Above the vast open landing pad behind the Administrative Center Palace, a Wakandan maglev spacecraft—a broad triangular vessel—slowly materialized, landed on the pad, and opened its rear hatch, revealing a deep, spacious cargo bay and rows of neatly lined-up Wakandan elite Warriors in wild attire.

T'Challa, his face broad and honest, stepped out of the rear hatch with Okoye, captain of the Dora Milaje whom his father had assigned to him, and went forward to greet He-El, who was temporarily serving as his "teacher."

He-El wore a well-fitted suit. Tall and imposing, he possessed a distinctive presence that naturally drew attention. Alone, he carried a black briefcase in his right hand as he walked toward the ship's rear hatch.

"Teacher!" T'Challa approached with Okoye, the captain of his guard, taking the initiative to receive him as a student and reaching out for the briefcase in He-El's hand.

When his father had told him to study under He-El, he had specifically reminded T'Challa while preparing all kinds of response equipment that he must show He-El respect—the respect one showed a teacher or an elder.

Though T'Challa found it somewhat strange, he had no objections. Besides, he deeply admired He-El as a person, so calling him teacher came from the heart.

Okoye wore close-fitting white Vibranium armor. Her gaze was sharp, and beneath her seemingly slender female frame lay tremendous explosive power. She was Wakanda's most outstanding and formidable warrior.

Her eyes swept over He-El from head to toe. Her expression remained silent as she followed behind T'Challa and came forward to greet him.

"Hello, T'Challa."

He-El felt like an old professor. Smiling, he casually let T'Challa take the briefcase from his hand, then glanced at T'Challa and the elite Warriors they had brought along, feeling utterly speechless.
