Kamar-Taj

Qin Yi stepped out of the golden portal and followed the Ancient One into Kamar-Taj.

After walking through a corridor, the two entered an antique, Chinese-style room.

The Ancient One placed Jean Grey on the bed, then turned to look at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi paused for a moment, then raised his hand. A beam of pure white light flew toward Jean Grey and slowly merged into her body.

Seeing that Jean Grey did not wake up, Qin Yi cast another Healing Spell on her.

"She just lost too much energy; there is nothing wrong with her body. Let her rest."

Previously, the Ancient One had used the Time Stone more than once to peer into Qin Yi's past and future.

Yet, she found only chaos.

It wasn't just Qin Yi; the future of the entire Marvel Universe seemed covered in fog, no longer clear.

The Ancient One stared at Qin Yi for a long time.

Then, she muttered to herself:

"Pure healing magic that can be cast without incantations, black magic that can devour energy. Little one, where do you come from?"

Qin Yi tilted his head, pondered the information the system had transmitted to his mind, and drew three circles.

"Well, I was originally inside this circle, and you, Mage, are in this circle. I intended to go to another circle, but on the way, I accidentally fell into your circle... Can you understand it if I put it this way?"

The Ancient One pondered for a while after hearing this.

"The Multiverse?"

"No, no, no."

Qin Yi waved his hand as he replied, and the three circles turned into three spheres.

"The sphere you are in, Mage, has countless facets, and each facet is a cosmic dimension. These countless facets are all on this sphere, and they can only exist on this sphere. I am on another sphere, but I am not sure if the sphere I am on has countless facets. As for the sphere I want to go to, its level is relatively high, and I am not yet sure what the situation is there."

After listening to Qin Yi's explanation, the Ancient One stared at him in silence for a long time.

"Incredible... So your arrival was an accident?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes. Mage, can I leave now?"

Qin Yi looked at the Ancient One expectantly.

Is he just a passerby? The Ancient One, her eyes filled with the light of wisdom, stared at Qin Yi for a short while before saying:

"Stay here and learn magic from me."

The Ancient One still wanted to observe whether Qin Yi harbored any malice toward Earth while they spent time together learning magic.

"That sounds great, but Mage, I need to go back and tell my family."

Through these few months of living together, Qin Yi, who had been left alone and stranded in the Marvel Universe by the system, had come to treat Aunt Maria as family.

Qin Yi remembered the golden portal from before and felt very envious, so he couldn't help but hint to the Ancient One.

"Um, Mage, how do I leave here, and how do I come back later?"

The Ancient One smiled and told Qin Yi the secret to opening a portal.

She figured that even with a Sling Ring, it would likely take Qin Yi several months to master it. For now, she would let him teleport from the New York Sanctum; she would give him the address later.

Suddenly, she stared, dumbfounded, at the golden portal Qin Yi drew with a casual wave. She watched as he lifted his leg and stepped inside, leaving only his voice echoing from afar:

"Mage, I'll go tell my family and come back in a few days."

The Ancient One couldn't help but think, is his magical talent really this terrifying? Then Stephen... it would be better to consider things carefully before making a decision.

Outside the Mutant Control Center:

A group of X-Men, led by Professor X, stood in a circle, surrounding Tony.

Tony could be heard grumbling, "I've said it so many times, I just came to see the aliens."

Clearly, Charles and the others did not believe him. Just as Charles prepared to read Tony's mind, a golden portal appeared before them. Qin Yi stepped out from within.

Vaguely, one could see the Ancient One's shock and Jean Grey lying on the bed inside the portal.

"Jean!" Cyclops couldn't help but want to rush forward.

Qin Yi closed the portal casually. Seeing the X-Men ready to attack, he quickly said, "Rest assured, Jean Grey is much safer there than at your academy."

Facing the distrust of the X-Men, Qin Yi couldn't be bothered to explain further. He waved his hand, opened a portal, and left with Tony.

"Professor..." Cyclops said agitatedly. Charles comforted the about-to-explode Cyclops.

"For now, Jean is safe... Let's go back. I will go talk to Stark tomorrow."

A golden portal opened in Tony's room.

Tony walked out and grabbed Qin Yi's arm in excitement.

"What the f—, Qin, is this space-folding technology?"

Qin Yi watched Tony, who was on the verge of being led astray by him, and thought, What have I done?

"Sorry, Tony, that alien was wiped out. Not even a speck of dust was left."

"No, no, no, it's not about the alien. We just went from the Mutant Control Center straight home, didn't we? Is this space-folding technology? How is this possible? You mastered this in just a moment?"

Facing Tony's disbelief, Qin Yi silently chanted to himself, I'm a cheater.

"Alright, brother, Auntie has arranged for me to start school tomorrow. How about I teach you this magic after I get out of class?"

Qin Yi cajoled Tony into agreeing before heading to his room to sleep.

The next morning,

Maria looked on in surprise as Tony prepared to take Qin Yi to school.

"Tony, why don't your father and I take Qin to school?"

Tony looked at his mother and quickly said, "Mom, I can handle taking my little brother to school. You and Dad should just stay home and get some rest."

"Alright, be careful on the road. Qin, this is a fruit pie I made for you. If the school food isn't to your liking, I'll talk to Howard later and have them change the cafeteria menu. Also, try not to bully your classmates too much at school."

Qin Yi hugged Maria.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll be very well-behaved."

Outside Howard Estate, Maria watched until Tony and Qin's car disappeared from sight before turning back into the courtyard.

On the way to school, Qin Yi teased Tony, who was dressed in a suit and tie.

"I say, brother, you don't need to dress so formally, do you? Did you set your sights on another teacher at the school?"

Tony drove his Audi while responding solemnly.

"For an event that is about to change my entire life, it is worth showing some respect."

Qin Yi thought helplessly, Is the Magic Iron Man coming?

I definitely shouldn't look for Tony next time.

I'm afraid I'm leading Tony further and further off his original path. I should avoid interfering with other timelines as much as possible. My little butterfly wings have flapped a few times; heaven knows what kind of impact that will cause.

What if, instead of Thanos coming with the Infinity Gauntlet, it's Thanos coming with the Heart of the Universe?

GG...

"We're here."

Tony stopped the car, handed the backpack to Qin Yi, and whispered, "I'll be waiting for you at the nearby coffee shop."

Qin Yi looked at the phone in Tony's hand. "Tony, don't forget about that phone I mentioned yesterday. Get on it as soon as you can."

"Let's wait until I've learned magic." Clearly, Tony was full of confidence regarding the matter of magic.

"Goodbye, Tony."

Qin Yi put on his backpack and looked at the school gate before him.

New York City No. 1 Primary School.

He shook his head helplessly and walked inside.

He spent the entire morning daydreaming. Aside from his self-introduction as a transfer student, Qin Yi sat at his desk and pondered life.

In 1992, his body, now fused with the Fairy Force, was already seven years old. With black hair and black eyes, he stood out among the sea of blond-haired, blue-eyed students.

Qin Yi took a look around; there were about twenty white students. There wasn't a single black child in this class.

Qin Yi remembered the United States of his past life, where racial discrimination was quite severe. Forget it, that's beyond the scope of this; I can't talk about it.

Perhaps because Howard was the biggest board member of this school, he had been placed in the best class.

Could it be that I really have to repeat primary school in the United States of the Marvel Universe?

This world should have a hometown, too. I wonder when I'll be able to go back and take a look.

Forget it, better to keep the danger in the United States.

His fusion with the Fairy Force had reached 31%. He had already obtained the Phoenix Force, and additionally, he had gained the shapeshifting and other abilities of the D'Bari leader, Vuk.

I'll plan for the Infinity Stones later. I'll just wait for the system to wake up.

According to the timeline, the Space Stone should be in Mar-Vell's laboratory in outer space, on that invisible Kree Empire cruiser. I might be able to come into contact with the Time Stone while I'm learning magic.

Improving my own strength is what matters most. I'll think about the rest later.

Lost in his thoughts, Qin Yi heard the bell for the end of the school day.

There were no classes on the first afternoon, and the area outside the school was packed with parents picking up their children.

Qin Yi looked around and saw Tony chatting up a beautiful reporter, so he walked over.

"Hey, Tony, who is this..." the blond, blue-eyed, busty reporter asked as she watched Qin Yi get into the car.

"My brother, practice later." The thirst for magic clearly overcame Tony's intention to exchange fitness tips with the female reporter.

Watching Tony get into the car, the reporter pressed the shutter.

It wasn't until the car had driven a long way that Tony asked, "Where to first?"

"Find somewhere empty; we'll go through a portal."

Tony thought for a moment, parked the car at Stark Industries, and led Qin Yi to his office.

Qin Yi looked around Tony's office with curiosity. Under Tony's repeated urging, a golden ring of light appeared out of thin air. The two of them stepped inside.
