บท 10: Sorcerer Supreme

When I got home from my mini escapade, I went to tell Tony I returned and that I'm going to go to sleep.

When I entered my room a golden ring appeared and a bald lady in yellow robes came out.

"Rimuru Stark we need to talk."

Interesting.

I did a little hand motion and made a chair out of thread.

"Have a seat."

"Thank you… I'll get straight into it. I know you know of the existence of us sorcerers."

"You'd be correct."

"I wish for you to join."

"You want me to join? I'm not much of a joiner nowadays. So why do you want me to join? I know you don't let just anyone join."

"I wasn't able to see pass my death, I've looked into the future many times trough the years and I was never able to see pass that death. That's until a year ago."

"The day I came in this world?"

"Correct. I've seen many timelines. One where you go on to be a conquer. And the savior of all reality. But I've seen many where you try to save us all to only fail due to not being strong enough."

"So that's why you're here to make me stronger?"

"In anyway yes. I see it as adding another strong protector against the other dimensions."

" you realize I learned the mystic arts i'll use it in the open."

" we understand that. we also know that you're already a woman with many abilities and a smart brain you'll find a way to explain it." I just rolled my eyes. Everyone is good at pushing their problems to others.

"If I do this, you know I'll have Demands. You came to me I didn't come to you."

"I've looked at this conversation many times and already decided and agree with them."

"I'll still saying it out loud to make sure we understand. I want you as my teacher, And I want to be able to come back here to do my superhero work and mess with my armor."

"You can go to the New York, sanctum and head home from there before you master Portal making."

" can I think about it and contact you later?"

"Come to the sanctum in New York on Bleecker Street when you decide. I'll be waiting."

Then she went through a portal.

When she left, I just laid down in my bed and went over my options with Ceil.

It's really a good thing I have two years before the New York war and with the ability to come back I can still work on my suits,

The next morning I went to talk to Tony and tell him the offer and what it intails. He of course didn't believe in sorcery, but when I explained it more I got him to at least allow me to go. Especially after I told him, it would be in New York due to him just buying a Plot of land he's planning to put a tower on in New York.

He showed me the designs he's made for the tower so far. we went over it for a bit. I helped tweak a few things, and I told him I had to head to New York to accept the deal.

I consumed a laptop just in case I'm there longer then I want. This way I can still work on my suit, I'm trying to figure out the new core and goods to add Magicules to it.

I put on my Mark 6 and flew to New York to an alley nearby and stored my suit in Gluttony.)

I went to 177A Bleaker street and knocked on the door.

It opened up to an old man.

"Right this was Ms. The ancient one is expecting you."

"As expected."

We walked inside down a hall into a room then what looked like a door but when we walked through we weren't in New York anymore.

I got lead to a room with another old man drinking tea.

I waited for a moment then The Ancient One got me and led me inside for me to sit down.

"Would you like some tea?"

"No. Thank you."

"So. Have you decided?"

"It's not like you don't know."

"Actually I don't. When it comes to you until the event happens it's always changing."

(We need to find a way to figure out why that's happening.)

(I'm currently unable to figure that out but I'll keep watch.)

"Well in that case, I decided I'll take you up on the offer. I seen way to many old men on my way in here, you need more women."

"Very well, I want you to head to the library. The librarian already knows what to give you.

The master who guided you to me will also guide you there. Good luck."

"Just like that?"

"Just like that. I don't need to open you mind or make you believe, you already do so now we get to leaning about the basics before me move onto how to channel and manipulate."

I got up. "Then I thank you for this opportunity. I'll be on my way."

Once I got to the library and got my books instead of leaving I sat down at a table and quickly consumed the knowledge. Within an hour I had all three books finished and memorized and went up for more.

I continued this for the next three days while going home at night.

Once I got past the knowledge of what mystic arts are and the proper way to use it I was allowed to move on the learning to Channel.

That was actually quite hard for me due to not being able to pull from the normal dimensions they use.

After over a month and a half I figured out I could use my own Magicules to fuel the sorcery.

And around this time Tony and Pepper have moved to New York to start the tower project.

And with them here it makes going home a lot easier.

Then after my life became pretty cut and dry.

Get up go to learn. At sunset go back help Tony if needed. Maybe go on patrol. Work on suit. Sleep. Then repeat.

I did take weekends off from learning just to help Tony more and to stay in the public eye more as Slipstream.

Within a year and a half I was at a pretty good level on my sorcery and I decided to give practicing a rest for a bit especially with everything coming up and the ancient one agreed.

So for the next half year I decided to go to medical school to learn the body more to help with my suit.

I'm so good I flew by all the courses and graduated before the war started. I even met Doctor Strange. He's an ass.
