You Really Think Becoming the Sorcerer Supreme Is Hard in Marvel?

Ow, my butt!

Kamar-Taj, Ancient One's Sanctum.

The Ancient One looked at Zhang Yang, who sat cross-legged before her, and Little Star-Lord beside him.

She sighed inwardly.

By now, she no longer knew whether keeping Little Star-Lord had been a good idea.

Zhang Yang had already offended plenty of powerful figures while practicing magic.

And now Little Star-Lord was just like him.

Still, they were both talented and quick to learn.

They had caused trouble, but she wasn't too worried. Zhang Yang was already quite capable, and while Star-Lord wasn't as quick a learner, he still had potential.

In a year or two, he might become a formidable sorcerer.

Wait.

That thought brought someone else to mind.

Doctor Strange.

In the future timelines the Ancient One had observed, Strange was destined to come to Kamar-Taj.

But Zhang Yang had arrived before Strange.

Originally, Zhang Yang had been an offshoot who shouldn't have existed in the timeline.

Now his arrival had become part of the main timeline, and he was shaping its course.

Truthfully, the Ancient One had never intended to train Zhang Yang as the Sorcerer Supreme. But his talent was so extraordinary

that she had to choose between him and Strange.

If she chose Zhang Yang, Strange's future would inevitably change. When Strange arrived, he would most likely become Zhang Yang's apprentice.

Of course, the Ancient One had long since prepared herself for that.

There was only one thing she hadn't prepared for.

What if Zhang Yang taught Strange to be just like him?

The thought gave the Ancient One a headache over Kamar-Taj's future.

Once three sorcerers of such talent completed their training, they were bound to shake the entire Multiverse. But if they all took after Zhang Yang and kept making enemies of powerful figures...
