Wong was an extremely calm person.
After all, he was the kind of man who could hear a joke and only start laughing tens of seconds later.
Even when facing the Ancient One, he could keep that deadpan expression.
But today—
Facing Karl,
Wong had already changed his expression more than once.
That alone showed how deep the shock Karl had brought him ran.
After steadying his emotions, Wong patted Karl on the shoulder.
"Karl-kun, you're good. Very, very good."
"Our Kamar-Taj hasn't seen a genius like you in a long time."
"I'm very optimistic about your future."
Wong spoke as he patted Karl's shoulder again.
"Master Sorcerer Wong-sama flatters me."
Karl replied in a very low-key manner.
"But, Karl-kun…"
"In the future, you really shouldn't be experimenting with magic inside Kamar-Taj."
"Our Kamar-Taj isn't exactly well-off."
Wong sighed as he spoke.
He glanced at the pitiful mountain wall in front of them, and couldn't help sighing again.
The mountain wall was fine—after all, it was a natural product.
But the training room and the library—repairing those cost money!
Money was still a secondary issue; it wasn't like they had no sources of income.
The key problem was that engraving runes into buildings required multiple kinds of precious materials, and those were not easy to obtain.
Karl was simply too abnormal.
His power was growing stronger and stronger, and if this kept up, even all of Kamar-Taj might not be able to withstand it.
At this rate, Kamar-Taj was going to go bankrupt.
They absolutely could not let Karl keep going like this.
"Aldrich, I authorize you to teach Karl the Mirror Dimension."
"From now on, magical experiments will be conducted in the Mirror Dimension."
Wong said.
The Mirror Dimension was already advanced magic.
For low-level sorcerers, it was extremely dangerous.
In a place like the Mirror Dimension—
Unless you were an existence like the Ancient One, you could not enter or exit the Mirror Dimension without a Sling Ring.
If you lost your Sling Ring, it would be extremely dangerous for ordinary people.
However—
Wong felt that with Karl's level of talent, training in such powerful magic would be no problem at all.
From now on, experiments should be done in the Mirror Dimension.
"Yes!"
Aldrich replied excitedly.
At the same time, Aldrich kept frantically blinking at Karl.
It left Karl feeling completely baffled.
But—
None of these sorcerers explained anything to Karl.
"Alright. You two are responsible for repairing this place."
"Let Karl focus on his cultivation."
"When the Ancient One returns, I will introduce him to the Ancient One."
"Perhaps Karl can receive personal instruction from the Ancient One."
Wong said.
"Thank you, Master Sorcerer Wong-sama."
Karl replied respectfully.
That was the Sorcerer Supreme.
Setting everything else aside—
The Sorcerer Supreme's magic was far beyond what ordinary people could even imagine.
At the very least, there were a huge number of books in the library whose magic ordinary sorcerers could not even begin to understand.
Seeing Karl's attitude, Wong nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright. Cultivate on your own."
"I still have other matters to handle."
After saying that, Wong took a deep look at Karl, then turned and left.
The attendant escorting them walked them a short distance before turning back.
Guanhe glanced at the two of them.
"Aldrich, you continue teaching Karl. I'll go find people to repair the building."
After saying that, Guanhe turned and left.
Only after Guanhe left did Aldrich excitedly pat Karl on the shoulder.
"Good stuff. Not bad, not bad at all."
"You've earned our Master Sorcerer's approval—your future is limitless!"
"I knew it. You, kid, are definitely extraordinary."
Aldrich nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you for your guidance, Aldrich-sensei."
"But you can use the Mirror Dimension?"
Karl looked at Aldrich in surprise.
In the movies,
the Mirror Dimension was absolutely high-tier magic—there was even the possibility of drawing on the immense power of the Dark Lord Dormammu.
In Kamar-Taj, it definitely counted as advanced magic.
In the movies,
only a small number of people could use it.
The Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange, Kaecilius, Baron Mordo—
even Wong had never displayed the ability to use that corresponding magic.
But reality was not a movie.
In reality, an existence at the level of a Master Sorcerer would naturally know this kind of magic.
But Aldrich—this sorcerer—also knew it?
That was what surprised Karl.
"Hmph. Looking down on me, aren't you?"
"Back in the day, your teacher here was also a big deal in Kamar-Taj."
"You think just anyone is qualified to teach students?"
Aldrich said smugly.
Karl thought about it.
That was true.
Kamar-Taj was basically an oddball organization.
The Ancient One personally taught students.
How would an ordinary sorcerer be qualified to teach students?
It was perfectly normal for Aldrich to have some background.
But none of that really mattered.
What Karl cared about was new magic.
The stronger the teacher, the more magic they knew.
"Aldrich-sensei, when can I learn the Mirror Dimension?"
Karl asked expectantly.
The Mirror Dimension was an extremely powerful force.
Once your power was strong enough,
you could even rely on the Mirror Dimension's power to distort reality.
After obtaining Dormammu's power, Kaecilius had once used that power of manipulating reality-space—
which showed just how strong this magic was.
Not to mention, the Mirror Dimension could also be used for surveillance, cultivation, and other purposes, and could even convert attacks.
If Portals were the foundation of Kamar-Taj's spatial magic,
then the Mirror Dimension was absolutely the most advanced form of magic, and also a manifestation of Kamar-Taj's spatial power.
Naturally, Karl was very eager for it.
Aldrich glanced at Karl.
"No need to rush. I'll definitely teach it to you."
"Our Kamar-Taj can't handle you experimenting with magic like this."
Aldrich said.
Karl scratched his head awkwardly.
"Once you adapt to your own power, I can teach you new magic."
"If I'm not mistaken…"
"Earlier, you also activated Kamar-Taj Fighting Arts again, and further enhanced your strength."
Aldrich looked at Karl with a face full of astonishment.
Karl simply nodded.
"So, you should first adapt to your own power."
"In a few days, we'll learn new magic again."
"You need to adapt to your strength, or you'll run into serious problems."
Aldrich said.
Karl nodded.
Aldrich, meanwhile, stared at Karl in amazement.
This kid…
really was full of surprises.
Just now, the Kamar-Taj Fighting Arts Karl activated was clearly out of the ordinary.
That was not something an ordinary person could do.
This kid really was a pleasant surprise.
This kid has the makings of a Master Sorcerer!
