Before meeting the Ancient One, Skye had been trying to tell herself not to be surprised, to be polite, and not to embarrass herself, but at the moment of meeting, she still couldn't help but look surprised.
In addition to not expecting the Ancient One to be a woman, there was also that big bald head.
After meeting the Ancient One, Skye subconsciously turned her head to look at Finney's hair beside him, with a hint of worry in her eyes, which made his face darken slightly.
After glaring at Skye to make her realize that this was very rude, Finney began to introduce Skye to the Ancient One, although the Ancient One should have known her for a long time.
When introducing Skye, Finney mainly said that this was my sister, but when introducing the Ancient One, there were more titles:
"This is my master, the boss of Kamar-Taj, the strongest person on earth, the Supreme Sorcerer who knows almost everything about the past and the future, the Ancient One!"
Hearing this, Skye became more and more nervous. Although she couldn't see why this person with a gentle face and gentle temperament was said so exaggeratedly by Finney, it didn't prevent her from being in awe.
"Hello, Master Ancient One."
Skye greeted respectfully.
"Hello, Miss Helsides." Ancient One nodded kindly, and then said to her: "Finny has already told me about you, but please don't blame me for talking too much. The power of magic may not be controlled by everyone, so don't force it."
Skye nodded seriously to show her understanding. It was great to have such an opportunity. Even if she couldn't learn it, she wouldn't blame anyone.
Everything in Kamar-Taj was very new to Skye. During the one-day visit, her curiosity was simply off the charts, and her expectations for learning magic were instantly maxed out.
Just like that, after going back and telling her parents, the two of them stayed in Kamar-Taj temporarily under the pretext of traveling.
At the beginning, the two did not go to learn anything, but watched other mages practice in the training field. Seeing the orange-red energy circling in the hands of the mages, Skye was very excited and couldn't wait to join.
But as she started practicing, she realized that things were not that simple. For a whole month, she didn't practice a single spark.
Fortunately, Kamar-Taj keeps up with the times and has access to the Internet, otherwise she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on long ago. But even so, she has been considering giving up these days.
The only thing Skye can comfort her with is that Finny is not much better than her. If she is described as having no sparks, then Finny can only use a little spark to express it.
For a month, Finny was also very depressed, which made him wonder if it was really only by losing hair that he could become stronger. There was only a little spark in a whole month! ?
It was only Mordo who told him that in fact, most people were at this level when they first learned, and then they continued to practice in depression.
It seems that what Ancient One said about his average talent seems to be true.
The failure in magic made Finny realize that it was a bit unrealistic to want to become stronger quickly in this way. His greatest asset still depends on the ability to extract from the system.
Just when Finny was thinking about how to implement it, Skye found him and said he wanted to give up.
"Are you sure?"
Looking at Skye who looked depressed, Finney asked again to be sure. In fact, he understood this feeling very well. It was really discouraging to study for so long but not see any progress. He could still see some hope, but Skye couldn't guide out any energy.
"Well, maybe I'm really not suitable."
Skye said gloomily. If possible, she would still like to obtain this extraordinary power, but she also remembered that the Ancient One had advised her not to force it at the beginning.
"Okay, okay, it's okay. In fact, I think the mystic mage is not suitable for girls. If you have a shock wave ability, you should think more about how to use it."
"Why shock wave?"
Skye didn't understand why Finney kept mentioning this.
"Don't worry about it. I'll tell you when there is a suitable opportunity." Finney didn't explain, and then changed the subject: "Are you planning to go home?"
"Yeah."
Skye nodded. Although Kamar-Taj also has Internet, the Internet speed in such a place is obviously not that good, and the simple and plain life made her a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, then I'll leave the explanation to my parents to you."
During this period, they certainly talked to their families and took some photos in the town for their families to see, so their parents didn't find it unusual.
"Then let's go. I'll take you to tell the teacher and ask her to send you back directly."
After taking Skye, who had packed her belongings, to Ancient One, he told her about the matter. Ancient One didn't say much about Skye's giving up, neither comforting nor encouraging, but just nodded to show that he knew.
After opening a portal to send Skye to a place not far from her home, Finny began to discuss another matter with Ancient One.
"Master, I want to find other wizards to train my combat ability."
"Master Mordo and Wang should be happy to help you." Ancient One nodded and gave a suggestion.
During this month, he also got to know these two wizards who would have a good relationship with Doctor Strange in the future. As for the traitor Casillas, it seems that he has not joined Kamar-Taj yet.
"So, can I use this?" Finny used 'Devil Haunting', and a silver long sword appeared in front of him. After holding it, he did not choose to equip armor directly.
Gu Yi looked at Finny holding the long sword, paused for a moment, and said after a long time: "This is a living weapon. It may erode your spirit and hurt your body. Do you know?"
Finny hesitated, but still nodded, indicating that he knew. The introduction of the system said that it was hosting ancient life. If it were not for this, it would not be able to evolve.
"Remember, never let the power control you!"
Gu Yi finally did not stop Finny from using these abilities and gave him the greatest trust.
Just as Finny was about to leave to find Mordo to discuss the battle, he suddenly thought of a possibility, stopped, turned around and looked at Gu Yi: "Master, can you use it?"
Finny held up 'Devil Haunting' and handed it over. He wanted to know if other people besides himself could use it. It would be too dangerous to let ordinary people test it, but Gu Yi didn't have so many concerns, unless she wanted to die.
"I think I can give it a try."
Gu Yi was not polite. He took the 'Devil Haunted' handed over by Finny and looked at it curiously: "Hmm... It seems to be a very strange creature. It can evolve to adapt to the power of the user. The forging method is also magical!"
"Its spell is 'Devil Haunted', which can be transformed into armor." Finny reminded him from the side.
"Devil Haunted!"
Gu Yi whispered, and a shocking energy burst out from the long sword. The momentum far exceeded the scene when he used it for the first time.
The figure condensed behind it was even more terrifying, with a sense of oppression, making Finny, who was close, even a little breathless.
"Roar!"
A huge roar resounded throughout Kamar-Taj, scaring all the mages.
Just when the figure wanted to hug Gu Yi, Gu Yi waved his hand, and a green energy surrounded it, dissipating the figure of 'Devil Haunted', and then took back the energy and transformed it into the shape of a long sword again.
"Hoo, hoo!"
The oppressive feeling disappeared, and Finny gasped for air. Only by experiencing it personally can one understand how weak he is. It is obviously the same equipment, but it is more than ten times stronger on Ancient One than on him.
However, after Ancient One's test, he also understood that the control of the skills is ultimately in his hands. Although Ancient One can use it, he can cancel the skills at any time during this period.
