In Marvel: You Really Think Being the Sorcerer Supreme Is Hard?

Chapter 71

As Thor spoke, he seemed to want to get up.

However, the wound on his back tugged at every pain receptor in his body, making Thor clench his buttocks. Tears nearly fell from his eyes.

If Mjolnir had not been destroyed,

Thor would definitely have used Mjolnir to smash both their heads in!

"I think there may have been some misunderstanding between us..." Seeing Thor's rage, Wong could not help but explain.

However, before he could finish speaking, The Ancient One shook her head.

She was signaling Wong not to explain any further.

Wong immediately fell silent.

"Are you all right?" Ignoring Thor's fury, The Ancient One looked at him with a smile.

"All right? Oh, I've never been better!" At The Ancient One's question, Thor practically gritted his teeth. "Of course, if someone blew up your ass and you could still say, 'I'm fine'!"

The Ancient One shrugged. "That's truly unfortunate."

Thor: ...

"Bastard, watch what you say! I haven't forgotten the outrageous things you people at Kamar-Taj did! The Battle of New York, and the Tesseract! You barbarians truly don't know your place. I am the prince of Asgard! My father is Odin, the All-Father!"

Thor lay on the bed, unable to move because of his injuries.

He could only vent his dissatisfaction through roaring.

Yet The Ancient One neither paid him any heed nor blamed Thor for his rudeness.

She merely stepped forward, seemingly intending to lift Thor's blanket and inspect his injuries.

That infuriated Thor. Enduring the pain, he forcibly stopped her. "You can't do that! Who gave you permission to touch my ass?!"

Thor looked at The Ancient One, a trace of panic in his eyes.

As the prince of Asgard, he had his pride too.

If an old woman saw his ass, how could he ever face anyone again?!

Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, Mordo hurriedly said to Thor, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Your injuries matter more. The Sorcerer Supreme was the one who treated you yesterday. Kamar-Taj is a place of cultivation, not the kind of place you imagine."

Boom!

Those words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, leaving Thor utterly stunned.

Wait, what?

This bald woman treated my ass?

Thor looked at The Ancient One in disbelief, as if seeking confirmation. "You saw my U.S. peach?"

The Ancient One slowly nodded.

Thor froze.

The fury in his eyes gradually gave way to a trace of tragic resolve. His entire body seemed to have been struck by lightning, stiffening in place without moving. He did not even howl anymore.

The Ancient One, however, showed little reaction. "I am the Sorcerer Supreme. You may call me The Ancient One. Your father entrusted you to me. From now on, you will cultivate here at Kamar-Taj with us."

Thor: ...

The Ancient One said, "I'll treat you now, unless you want to stay unable to get out of bed and walk."

Thor: ...

The Ancient One said, "All right, relax your ass."

Thor: ...

Heavens!

My U.S. peach!

An old woman had seen it all!

For some reason, Zhang Yang could not help wanting to laugh at the sight.

Especially when paired with Thor's utterly hopeless expression.

And The Ancient One's words.

Zhang Yang felt that

this whole situation was unexpectedly rather comical...

Chapter 72

In the extremely quiet and awkward atmosphere, The Ancient One changed Thor's medicine, used a healing spell, then rose and went to wash her hands in a wooden basin nearby.

"You should be able to get out of bed and walk the day after tomorrow," The Ancient One said as she washed her hands.

Yet Thor wore an utterly lifeless expression, as though he had no desire to acknowledge her at all.

He, Thor, the dignified prince of Asgard!

When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

He had clearly come to Kamar-Taj to settle a score!

Yet not only had he failed to settle anything, he had ended up in a complete mess!

His hammer was gone, and his ass had been blown up.

It was fucking humiliating!

If there had been a hole nearby, Thor would have wanted nothing more than to crawl into it immediately!

"Oh, right. Your father said you'll be staying at Kamar-Taj, so for the time being, you won't be returning to Asgard." Without waiting for Thor to speak, The Ancient One continued.

Those words finally got a reaction from Thor.

What did that mean?

His father had left him here?

How was that possible?!

"Are you bullshitting me?! How could my father leave me in a den of bandits?!" Thor looked at The Ancient One, his tone far from pleasant.

And extremely rude.

Of course, Thor had been rude from the very beginning.

The Ancient One had practically grown used to it.

After all,

Thor and his father Odin had truly been quite alike in temperament when Odin was young.

For Odin's sake, The Ancient One did not argue with Thor. She merely said to Zhang Yang beside her, "Zhang Yang, bring Gungnir over."

Gungnir?

Hearing that name, Thor's heart skipped a beat.

As Odin's son, Thor naturally knew what Gungnir was.

It was the weapon that had accompanied his father in battle!

A symbol of authority, a representation of power!

But how could his father's Gungnir possibly be here?

Thor did not quite believe it and shifted his gaze to Zhang Yang.

Hearing The Ancient One's words, Zhang Yang raised a hand and used Object Retrieval Magic to bring Gungnir over from the dormitory.

The instant that golden, gleaming Gungnir appeared,

Thor's expression went blank.

His suddenly widened pupils clearly spelled out the words "unbelievable."

His father's Gungnir had not only truly appeared in Kamar-Taj, but it was being held by such a frail-looking young man?

What exactly was going on?

This man named Zhang Yang!

How could he possibly wield Gungnir?

That weapon recognized its master! If Zhang Yang had not been acknowledged by Gungnir, he should not even have been able to lift it!

Thor was stunned for a moment.

He did not quite understand what had happened.

"You recognize Gungnir, don't you?" The Ancient One looked at Thor and smiled.

Those words instantly left Thor speechless.

How could Thor possibly not recognize Gungnir!

"Could it be... my father really did leave me here?" The moment he saw Gungnir, Thor could not help beginning to believe The Ancient One's words.

But why had his father left him here?

Thor was deeply puzzled.

"Your father hopes you will become a qualified king, but clearly, you do not yet possess that ability. Until you do, you must remain at Kamar-Taj and cultivate. Otherwise, you will never return to Asgard for the rest of your life." The Ancient One looked at Thor, her expression growing somewhat more serious.

This...

was another trial!

Thor had originally thought that after his father had thrown him into the mortal realm to temper him, that matter was over.

And that he would receive his father's approval.

Unexpectedly, his father still had not fully acknowledged him?!

Thor suddenly frowned and looked at The Ancient One. "You know my father?"

"The All-Father's great name is known far and wide. Of course I know him," The Ancient One said calmly, neither servile nor overbearing.

Thor thought it made some sense and could not help asking The Ancient One, "Can you guarantee that everything you said is true?"

From Thor's tone, he had already begun to believe her.

"If you don't believe me, call for Heimdall and see whether the Rainbow Bridge opens for you." The Ancient One smiled.

Still unwilling to accept it, Thor glanced at The Ancient One and began shouting, "Heimdall!"

After shouting for more than ten minutes, Thor's throat had gone hoarse, yet no one responded.

Wong could not bear to watch any longer. He picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Thor, yawning as he said, "How about you have some tea first, then call again later?"

Thor frowned deeply and looked down at the cup.

His anger immediately surged.

Fuck, chrysanthemum tea!

He picked up the cup and smashed it toward the floor.

"The Sorcerer Supreme said the weather has been hot lately, and it's easy to lose one's temper, so she replaced all of Kamar-Taj's tea with chrysanthemum tea," Wong explained to Thor.

Thor: ... This bunch of animals!
