When Li Ge opened the portal, he did not take a careful look at the situation on this side.
Instead, he walked straight through as soon as he opened it.
He was not surprised that there were people in the conference room. After all, the X-Men often discussed things here.
But unexpectedly seeing several people from S.H.I.E.L.D. told him that something he did not know about must have happened.
Still, he had no interest in their business right now. He only wanted to find somewhere outside to bask in the sun for a while.
"Uh... Professor, carry on. I'll head out first."
He only took a closer look at Nick Fury's bald head. As for Natasha, Hawkeye, and Coulson, their faces allowed Li Ge to identify them immediately.
Although Black Widow Natasha looked very beautiful and alluring, Li Ge's current age meant he would have no such interest in her.
As a transmigrator, Li Ge had no hobby of collecting beauties. Besides, even if he were to look for someone, he would look for someone his own age.
"All right, go ahead."
Although Li Ge's appearance caught the Professor somewhat off guard, he had not forgotten that there were outsiders present and immediately agreed to let Li Ge leave.
Nick Fury had been staring at Li Ge ever since he emerged from the portal.
Quite apart from having memorized Li Ge's face from the start and considering him the prime suspect behind the X-Men and Magneto collecting living creatures.
That ring of sparks Li Ge had just walked out of-if he had not been mistaken, that should have been a portal, right?
And from his fleeting glimpse through the portal, there seemed to be many people practicing something in the place Li Ge had come from.
Could this be another hidden supernatural organization he knew nothing about?
He felt that coming to the mutant academy this time had been the right decision. Just learning about Li Ge's portal and the existence of a suspected hidden supernatural organization already counted as a gain beyond his expectations.
He felt there was no need to keep arguing with the Professor and the others. As long as he could get this mutant student named Li Ge to cooperate, finding out everything he wanted to know should be no problem.
"May I ask your name? Could I have a chat with you?"
Nick Fury seized the opportunity to speak before Li Ge left.
"Sorry, Director Fury, but I don't think it's appropriate for him to get involved in our business. He still has classes to attend."
The moment Cyclops spoke, he cut off whatever Nick Fury was going to say next. His meaning was clear: Li Ge was still a student, and he hoped Fury would not interfere with his studies.
Cyclops had always been grateful to Li Ge, who had freed him from his glasses and made him immensely powerful.
But Li Ge's abilities meant he did not need Cyclops's protection.
In a situation like this, however, Cyclops readily stepped forward to shield Li Ge from Nick Fury's pestering.
Li Ge's age always made Cyclops instinctively want to protect him, rather than let him get involved in these matters too early.
"Sorry, I don't want to chat with you. If you have anything to discuss, talk to the Professor and the others!"
Nodding to Cyclops, Li Ge walked straight out of the conference room, ignoring Nick Fury's attempts to keep him there.
During this time, Li Ge had been working hard at Kamar-Taj to learn magical knowledge, carefully using Scan and Record on every library book he could record.
Not only that, but he had also learned how to use magic from the other sorcerers, trying to substitute his own energy for the energy borrowed from Agamotto.
After repeatedly thickening his skin and seeking guidance from the Ancient One, he was now fully capable of using his own energy to cast every spell he had learned.
He believed it would not be long before he could make all of Kamar-Taj's magic his own, and even create a magical system of his own.
But none of that was the most important thing right now. Li Ge's current goal was to relax properly.
After finding a suitable spot, Li Ge took a chair and a table out of his own world.
Never mind any claims that Minecraft did not have such things. Li Ge had only used it as a reference, not copied it completely.
They were all made of blocks, only they closely resembled their real-world counterparts.
Although Li Ge had designed his own world based on a block world, he was not actually a block person, after all, so those blocks were designed based on high-resolution Minecraft.
As such, a close look at anything in Li Ge's world would reveal that it was made entirely of miniature blocks.
They had a realistic look that somehow felt unreal.
Sitting down in the chair, Li Ge took out some fruit and chunks of meat, arranging them on tableware that was likewise made of blocks.
Bright sunlight spilled gently over the lawn, and lush green blades of grass trembled faintly in the gentle breeze.
Holding a red apple that looked absurdly perfect, Li Ge took a bite.
There was not the slightest sourness or astringency. With abundant juice and a crisp texture, it offered nothing but delicious sweetness.
With his other hand, he picked up a piece of beef cut to a suitable size and popped it into his mouth.
The beef's distinctive savory flavor slowly mingled with the apple's sweetness.
Alternating bites of apple and beef, Li Ge ate with great enjoyment.
"Hello, I'm Phil Coulson. Your name is Li Ge, right? I asked some of your classmates just now."
"We were in a bit of a hurry getting here, and I haven't eaten yet. Would you mind sharing some food with me?"
Li Ge focused on the food on the table, ignoring Coulson, who had appeared beside him at some point.
Receiving no response from Li Ge, Coulson was not embarrassed and simply continued talking:
"What you used to come here just now should have been some sort of spatial portal, right?"
"You know, that's really cool!"
"If only I had abilities like yours!"
At that, Li Ge paused in his eating.
Was S.H.I.E.L.D. really so resourceful that it had already discovered he could grant abilities to others, something the Professor and the others had been doing their best to conceal?
But looking at Coulson as he rattled on, it seemed to have been nothing more than an offhand remark meant to get a reaction out of him.
Still, Li Ge did not care whether they really knew about it.
After all, the arts were not to be passed on lightly. Unless someone sincerely asked him, even though he had already decided to spread power, that did not mean just anyone could receive it.
With a wave of his hand, he took another chair out of his world and placed it in front of Coulson.
"Have a seat. Help yourself to whatever you want."
Li Ge was quite fond of this transmigrators' starter village chief. Ignoring him earlier had only been a way to leave him hanging for a bit.
Watching Li Ge produce a chair out of thin air, Coulson was astonished inwardly, but showed none of it.
Instead, he readily sat down.
