Chapter 05
"You've only been here a few weeks and you're already in the advanced class... That's surprising, Dante," Kyllian commented, my roommate.
We were sitting on one of the balconies of the Kamar-Taj library, watching the mountains as we waited for the next class.
Sitting on a chair a little way back from the balcony, a young blonde woman slammed a large magic book down on the table.Annoyed, she sighed "It's obvious he'd move on, there's no point in letting a Faltine go free ."
"Faltine?" Kyllian questioned, visibly startled.
At the same moment, I scratched my head, confused as to what this could mean. However, the imposing steps of the old woman broke the animosity of the girl with the long blonde hair.
"You shouldn't mistreat books like that, Illyana," said the old woman.
The girl's face changed to one of guilt, and she bowed her head and nodded."I beg your pardon, master ."
Turning to the old woman, both Kyllian and I ended up changing our postures. We stood like soldiers ready to listen to a sermon. However, what I got was a smile and a slightly guilty face, something I hadn't yet observed in Sorcerer Supreme.
I felt a shiver run through my entire body as the old woman let out a sigh. "As for what Illyana said, Dante, you can't be a Faltine.Although your energy and magical ability is extremely unstable and similar to theirs ."
Placing her hand on her chest, the blonde girl lowered her head, still a little frustrated. "I beg your pardon for questioning me, mistress, but why can he use magic freely and I can't?"
The old woman looked at Illyana and then bowed her head, "Dante's pure magical power has not yet been awakened.For now, I can't let yours get out of control ."
At the moment, what I had heard still didn't make sense. On this earth I possessed the body of a Faltine? That means I possessed an absurd magical ability. Dr. Strange's wife, Clea, was half Faltine and half Dark Dimensional mortal.
But what surprised me most was my classmate. Looking deep into the eyes of that beautiful blonde-haired girl, I slowly understood who she was. At first, I couldn't recognize her, but it soon became obvious.
"Magik..." I thought out loud, surprised by the woman in front of me.
A notification popped up in front of my eyes, with all the information about that character. It had been a few weeks since I had received a message from my system, apart from the rare occasions when I discovered a skill.
[Magik / Illyana Rasputin]
| Mutant sorceress, sister of Colossus. Member of the X-man |
Crossing my arms, I sighed for a few moments. Illyana didn't look much older than me, which meant that she probably hadn't yet become the amazing mage and warrior I knew from the comics. However, meeting her was rather worrying.
In the comics, it was none other than Storm who began Illyana's training in the magical arts. She was never trained by the Ancient One, only by Strange. This only confirmed my suspicions that the timeline or dimension I was in was relatively distant from the MCU.
The Elder looked at our faces and noticed that there was a certain feeling of unease. With a smile, she nodded as she spoke: "In any case, you two are making progress in your studies. Soon, you'll be able to leave Kamar-Taj at any time. I know that you, Dante, want to go back to New York and have a big slice of pizza. And I also know that you, Illyana, want to eat an authentic Prazskiy Tort. Keep studying and that day will come"
Magik nodded, although it was possible to see that her face was a little bothered. Even though she had studied a lot, she still couldn't cast spells with the same freedom that I had. In a way, I could understand how she was feeling. She believed it was unfair, and she was right to do so.
While the old woman turned away and Magik sat down in her chair. I took two steps forward and defended what that beautiful Russian woman was saying.
"Elder, I apologize for questioning you. But what Illyana is complaining about makes sense, I can imagine how disgusted she is to see me being able to use magic while she has to remain stuck in books. I'd be bored and confused myself, isn't there some way of letting her train with us?"
Illyana's face changed, her eyes shining in my direction. She gave a small smile, perhaps because I was the only one who supported what she thought.
The old woman shook her head twice. Turning, she looked at me, "You're beginning to remind me of a close friend," she said, laughing, "Illyana has a deep connection to a region called Limbo. You both have problems controlling your magical energies, so I'll allow her to use magic while she's close to you. Teach her how you keep your energy stabilized"
Illyana stood up excitedly "Will I be able to train again?" she said.
The old woman confirmed it, then she walked a few more steps away and went through a portal that led into a blizzard. I was left alone in that room with Illyana, who was bright-eyed with excitement.
As she approached, she wrapped her arms around me, putting her head on my shoulder. "Thank you so much!" she said. Then she pulled away a little, looking down with a slightly worried face. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be offensive," she said.
Holding out my hand to her, the beautiful Russian woman's surprised face turned into one of confusion. "I didn't introduce myself before, my name is Dante"
Raising her head, she smiled and took my hand. "The name is Illyana Rasputin, but you can call me Lya"
It was with that handshake that an unusual friendship emerged.
