You Finished Learning It Already?!

Tony Stark was in a very good mood today.

His mouth was like a machine gun. The moment he walked in, he started rattling on nonstop, not giving Luo Bai any chance to get a word in.

He muttered away for quite a while before finally noticing that Luo Bai had not said a single thing. Unable to hold back any longer, he asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?! Aren't you happy that you made the front page?!"

"I am. You're just too excited, so I seem less happy by comparison," Luo Bai replied with a laugh.

Only then did Tony Stark realize that he had gotten carried away. Embarrassed, he hurriedly tried to save face. "I'm happy for you. You know, celebrities like me are always being covered by the news. I'm used to it."

"Really? I didn't even get a chance to interrupt you just now." Luo Bai continued teasing him.

Tony Stark grew even more embarrassed and quickly changed the subject. "All right, enough about that. Want to know what people think of you?! Take a look~"

As he spoke, he pulled out a newspaper.

Luo Bai took it and looked it over. On the most prominent front-page headline were four huge words: "New York Crisis!"

In truth, even without reading it, Luo Bai already knew what it said.

Before Iron Man was born, most New York residents had no idea that superpowers even existed in this world.

But after last night's commotion, people realized things were not so simple.

New York's media, government, and citizens all attached great importance to the incident.

Some thought the appearance of "superpowered individuals" was cool, while others felt worried about it.

Those were all normal reactions, so Luo Bai did not pay much attention to them. What really bothered him was that the newspaper had called him "Mysterious Man"?!

"Why does everyone call you 'Iron Man,' while my title is Mysterious Man?!" Luo Bai could not help complaining.

"Probably because they haven't realized you can use magic yet," Tony Stark explained.

Luo Bai said nothing, because he could not refute that.

Although the newspaper had published drone photos that clearly showed his face and what he looked like while casting Teleportation Magic.

It was obviously impossible for the media to identify him as a "sorcerer" from photos alone. After all, most people were like Tony Stark and simply did not believe that magic truly existed in this world.

Thinking about it that way, Luo Bai found the title "Mysterious Man"... slightly more acceptable.

Still, he remained curious.

"Tony, did you come all this way just to tell me... that I made the news?" Luo Bai asked.

Tony Stark shook his head. As he took a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, he said, "Of course not. I came to take you to a press conference~"

A press conference?!

Luo Bai was curious and could not help asking, "What do you mean?!"

Tony Stark smiled and said excitedly, "You saved New York yesterday, and you can use magic!! The whole world should know about you! I've already arranged a press conference through Stark Industries. At the conference, I'll announce that I'm Iron Man, and I want to introduce you to the people of New York too~~ New York has a sorcerer. That's incredibly cool!"

Perhaps because he had a pretty good relationship with Luo Bai, and because Luo Bai was a sorcerer.

Tony Stark wanted to introduce him to the public through the press conference.

With Stark Industries' influence.

If Luo Bai agreed to attend the press conference, he might become wildly famous and turn into a highly influential superhero.

But that would also completely expose his identity to the public eye.

Remembering that he still needed to lie low and grow stronger, Luo Bai declined the offer. "Forget it. I think this kind of life is quieter."

Tony Stark was somewhat curious and could not help asking, "Don't you want everyone to know that you're a sorcerer? If I could use magic, I'd definitely want the whole world to know! After all, it really is pretty cool!~"

But Luo Bai shook his head and explained, "Being famous does feel great, but it also brings a lot of trouble."

"Trouble?! What trouble?!" Tony Stark did not understand.

If it had been someone else, he might not have been so confused. But when it came to Luo Bai, he simply could not understand.

After all, Luo Bai was a sorcerer. With a wave of his hand, he could send someone hundreds of thousands of miles away.

What kind of trouble could someone with that level of power possibly fear?!

"There are all kinds of trouble. I can't explain it all right now. You'll find out eventually." While Tony Stark was still puzzled, Luo Bai gave him his answer.

But to Tony Stark... that answer was as good as saying nothing.

"All right. I don't know why, but I respect your decision. I still have a press conference to attend, so I'll be going now~~" No longer trying to persuade him, Tony Stark said goodbye.

After Tony Stark left, Luo Bai looked at the newspaper in his hands and could not help thinking.

He had not expected that after accidentally joining the "battle" last night, he would gain so many benefits.

Not only had he obtained a Sling Ring, but he had also made an appearance in New York.

While fame was a good thing, it also gave Luo Bai a greater sense of crisis.

After all, being famous meant that more villains might set their sights on him. At the moment, it seemed he could only work even harder at learning magic.

As he pondered, Luo Bai returned to his room and continued studying magic.

He did not know how long he studied for, but he finally stopped only after learning all the White Magic in the Supreme Compendium.

The moment he finished learning the magic, Luo Bai wasted no time. He opened a portal and arrived at Kamar-Taj.

Kamar-Taj's main hall.

Gu Yi was discussing academic matters with a sorcerer who had come from afar, while Mordo listened nearby.

At that moment, a suddenly appearing portal drew all three of their attention.

Before, if an unknown "portal" had appeared, Mordo might have been nervous and worried that Kamar-Taj was under attack.

But after what had happened last time, he was no longer so tense.

Especially after seeing Luo Bai step out of the portal and confirming his guess, a smile even appeared on his face.

"Hey~ We meet again~" Mordo was the first to greet him.

Luo Bai politely replied, "Yes, we meet again."

"Are you practicing Teleportation Magic?! The Sling Ring can help you locate your destination more accurately, but it's ultimately just an auxiliary artifact. Still, don't worry. You've only been practicing for two days. Things are always a little difficult at first. Just practice more, and you'll get better." Mordo smiled as he comforted him.

He seemed to have misunderstood and thought Luo Bai had opened another portal to the wrong place.

So he patiently comforted Luo Bai.

But Mordo was not the only one who had misunderstood. Even Gu Yi had misunderstood.

She was considering whether to give him a hint to help him improve faster when, the very next second, she heard Luo Bai say, "It was a little difficult before, but after getting the Sling Ring, it became much smoother."

Mordo froze and asked, "So you came here on purpose?!"

"Yes, I came to see the Sorcerer Supreme," Luo Bai explained.

"Do you need something from the Sorcerer Supreme?!" Mordo asked.

Luo Bai nodded and smiled. "I came to return a book. I've already finished learning everything in this Supreme Compendium."

The instant he said that, the main hall fell completely silent.

Mordo: "!????"

Gu Yi: "????!"

Huh?!

You... finished learning it?!

It had only been a few days... and you said you had finished learning it?!
