American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

Upon seeing the Ancient One, Lillia quickly bowed and greeted her, "Greetings, Sorcerer Supreme."

Her heart, pounding wildly in her chest, still hasn't calmed down.

"Hmm." Gu Yi nodded, his gaze falling on Lililia. "It's the middle of the night, why aren't you home resting yet?"

"I...I have a few questions about magic that I don't understand, so I came here specifically to ask the genius mage for advice," Lililia stammered, her tone revealing a strange sense of guilt.

This feeling of guilt made her very flustered.

Mingming's initial reason for seeking out Lin Jie was simply to learn magic.

Why does it feel like I'm doing something wrong to say it now?

Recalling the jokes made by the other mages during the day, Lililia's cheeks flushed again.

What kind of nonsense am I thinking about all day long?!

Lililia mentally berated herself.

She didn't even notice that Wanda's gaze had become extremely sharp.

Women's intuition is often frighteningly accurate, as it's believed that same-sex attraction is often repulsive.

Wanda took in all of Lililia's shy little expressions.

The alarm went off.

Wanda instantly went on high alert.

She knew very well that a rival had appeared.

This little brat named Lililia in front of me is definitely up to no good with Lin Jie!

Thinking of this, Wanda's face instantly turned cold.

As the saying goes, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

Gu Yi could see clearly the undercurrents between the two women.

But she chose to see through it but not say anything.

Gu Yi turned to Lin Jie and announced directly, "Lin Jie, from today onwards, Wanda is your personal disciple. Tomorrow morning, have her begin her morning training with the mages of Kamar-Taj."

Gu Yi's tone was calm, but it always made people feel that she was deliberately watching the drama unfold.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie and Lililia both froze on the spot.

The two of them looked up abruptly, staring at Wanda with expressions of astonishment.

To be fair, Wanda exudes the amazing charm of a mature woman.

Compared to a pure and innocent student like Lililia, they have completely different styles.

But Lililia had to admit that Wanda was beautiful.

It's a kind of mature charm.

This beauty inexplicably stirred up a pang of sorrow and unease in Lililia's heart.

Especially when she heard that Wanda had become Lin Jie's personal disciple, she felt incredibly jealous.

Lililia couldn't understand how this woman could get on Lin Jie's good side so easily.

With this identity, the woman's status in Kamar-Taj directly surpassed his own.

In fact, Lin Jie himself was completely confused.

But his doubts were on a completely different level from Lililia's.

Wanda is the Scarlet Witch! The energy within her is terrifyingly vast.

If it really came down to a fight, apart from herself and the Ancient One, probably no one in Kamar-Taj could withstand a single combo from her.

You're sending this max-level expert to teach? What are they going to teach him?

"Master, is she going to learn magic from scratch too?" Lin Jie looked Wanda up and down a few times and couldn't help but ask the Ancient One for confirmation.

"That's right." The Ancient One's answer was firm and decisive, without any hesitation.

After listening to the master's answer.

Lin Jie didn't ask any more questions, and simply nodded: "Okay."

That means they agreed immediately.

He then turned to Wanda, his tone businesslike: "Wait for me a moment, I'll take you to the dormitory in a bit. Be at the training ground at six o'clock sharp tomorrow morning."

As soon as Lin Jie finished speaking, the atmosphere in the air suddenly became very strange.

Quicksilver and Lin Jie, two grown men, didn't react in time.

Gu Yi saw everything.

She sighed inwardly.

The apprentice he took in is a real troublemaker.

After provoking Odin, he provoked Thanos, and even Dormammu wasn't spared.

Now look what's happened! His talent for causing trouble has brought him back to Kamar-Taj, and he's also attracted the attention of two girls at the same time.

This is really a headache.

However, Gu Yi had no interest in the romantic entanglements of young people and did not want to get involved.

After handing over Wanda, she didn't even say goodbye, and simply turned and disappeared into the night.

They left the mess to Lin Jie.

The surroundings were awkwardly quiet.

To break the deadlock, Lin Jie decided to solve the magic problem first before taking everyone to the dormitory.

He turned to Lililia: "You said you didn't understand something?"

Lililia quickly replied, "There are still a few details about Vatum's Wind Magic that I don't understand."

Before he could finish speaking, a chorus of complaints came from the side.

"Can you take us to bed first? How long are you going to keep teaching the apprentices? I'm so sleepy!"

It was Quicksilver who spoke.

He was full of resentment.

Being forced to stay in Kamar-Taj is bad enough, but now there's not even a place for them to sleep.

Let him wait here idly? Impossible.

Quicksilver has always been arrogant, and even though he knows Lin Jie is strong, he can't bring himself to admit defeat.

Lin Jie frowned slightly, his tone flat: "My master only entrusted Wanda to me, he didn't tell me to take care of you."

Quicksilver's eyes widened upon hearing this: "What do you mean? You're not going to care whether I live or die?"

Lin Jie countered, "Are you also my apprentice?"

"No way!" Quicksilver rolled his eyes and pouted. "Who wants to be your apprentice? I'm not as stupid as my sister! The Ancient One had me train with someone named Mordo."

Upon hearing the word "apprentice," Lin Jie understood what was going on.

"Go find Mordo directly," he said casually, then looked at Wanda. "If you're in a hurry to rest, go to the dormitory first. Turn left up ahead, the third room on the first floor is empty, men on the left, women on the right, don't go to the wrong one."

In Lin Jie's eyes, magic was more important than anything else. Teaching Lililia naturally came first.

As for favoritism towards anyone? That's simply not the case.

But when Wanda heard these words, they took on a different meaning.

Wanda's smile vanished instantly, her face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

She stared intently at Lin Jie, her mind racing with alarm bells.

Could Lin Jie have taken a liking to this girl?

Wanda suddenly turned her head to look at Lililia.

As a prodigy from Kamar-Taj, Lillilia possesses a pure and innocent appearance and a tall, slender figure. Even in the most ordinary mage robes, her striking charisma cannot be concealed.

A sense of crisis instantly overwhelmed me.

We absolutely cannot let those two study magic alone in the middle of the night!

Wanda took a deep breath and forced a charming smile: "I'm not tired. Since I'm going to learn magic anyway, I might as well stay and watch!"

Quicksilver was dumbfounded.

He couldn't help but complain, "Sis, are you serious? You really think of him as your master? We're staying here to learn how to control the power of chaos, aren't we? What kind of magic are you learning?"

"I'm telling you, are you blinded by love...?"

The moment the word "love" was uttered, Wanda shuddered in fright.

She raised her hand and slapped Quicksilver hard on the back of the head.

"Shut up! You talk too much!"

Wanda was terrified that her little scheme would be exposed in public, and she wished she could sew Quicksilver's mouth shut with a thread.

Quicksilver clutched his head, furious: "You hit me again?! Whatever, I don't care anymore!"

Quicksilver lost face being beaten in front of outsiders.

As soon as he finished speaking, he activated his ability, transformed into a silver lightning bolt, and vanished in an instant.

Only Lin Jie, Wanda, and Lililia remained at the scene.

The atmosphere plummeted to freezing point once again.

Even Lin Jie, who was slow to react, noticed that something was wrong.

It wasn't just awkward; there was also an indescribable tension.

None of the three spoke.

Wanda stared at Lililia, and Lililia glared back defiantly.

Where their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly.

Lin Jie was caught in the middle, speechless.

He usually does nothing but cultivate and fight, so he's never been able to handle the situation in front of him.

Just as Lin Jie was about to speak to ease the tension...

Suddenly, a clear, light laugh rang out from mid-air.

It was a woman's voice again...
