I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

He took out six batarangs from the yellow tactical pouch at his waist, holding three in each hand crossed at his sides.

Bruce then swung both hands simultaneously, aiming at the moving bullseye on the other side!

The portal appeared in front of the target the instant the dart was thrown.

Depp, holding a wooden cutting board, blocked the path of the dart.

Do, do, do, do, do, do.

The sound of darts hitting wood could be heard as Depp caught all six darts on the cutting board.

Depp's inner monologue: You threw that dart way too far off course!

Bruce's inner thoughts: Yes, all correct!

Depp took the cutting board and batarang back to his house, then gently waved his hand to close the portal, as if nothing had happened.

Bruce excitedly removed his blindfold, his expression instantly shifting from joy to utter bewilderment.

"Where the hell am I going to find my batarang?"

A few days later, Depp became more and more proficient at using the portal. Now he hardly needed to draw circles; he could open the portal with just a slight movement of his finger.

Depp estimates that after a while, he might only need to wear the sling ring and open the portal with a single thought.

I'm such a genius!

However... relying solely on the portal spell seems a bit too monotonous.

After all, with my talent, learning a few more spells shouldn't be too much to ask, right?

With that thought in mind, Depp, with the Ancient One in mind, waved his hands and opened a portal to Marvel.

Because this portal is almost interdimensional, Depp had to perform precise movements to open it perfectly.

This time, however, the portal wasn't leading to the New York Sanctuary, but rather to the Apprentice Training Grounds of Kamar-Taj.

“Master Ancient One, I would like to learn more about other magic from you.”

Hearing the voice, the Ancient One, who was explaining the key points of the movements to her apprentices, turned around and smiled at Depp, saying with satisfaction, "Want to learn? I'll teach you."

Chapter 151: The Head Instructor of One Hundred and Eight Apprentices!

"Oh, this..."

To be honest, Depp didn't expect the Ancient One to agree so readily.

Logically speaking, shouldn't one first test one's own character or something?

Gu Yi saw through Depp's thoughts and said, "I have observed you in countless timelines, and you perfectly meet my criteria for taking on a disciple."

Then, the Ancient One placed her hands on the Eye of Agamotto on her chest, making an ancient and profound gesture.

The Eye of Agamotto then twisted and opened, revealing the Time Stone within, which emitted a green glow.

Immediately afterwards, the Ancient One withdrew her gesture, and the Eye of Agamotto closed again.

She said, "I've checked, it won't cause any major disaster, please come in."

On the apprentice training grounds of Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One stood with his hands behind his back, walking slowly.

Looking at the apprentices who were progressing slowly, Gu Yi shook her head and looked at the portal at the very edge of the apprentice plaza.

Through the portal, Depp, still in his pajamas, walked from his bedroom to the training ground and began practicing meticulously alongside his many apprentices.

Although he had already mastered these basic, introductory skills.

But Depp still practiced with the apprentices every day because he could feel his control and understanding of magic improving a little bit after each practice session.

If the Ancient One knew that Depp could improve through daily practice, she would definitely be astonished again.

The Ancient One smiled and nodded as she watched Depp's perfectly executed spellcasting movements.

Look at them!

After internally complaining, Gu Yi turned to look at the other apprentices beside her.

"And look at you all!"

"Sigh~"

How melancholy!

Looking at Depp now, Gu Yi suddenly felt like she was looking at someone else's child.

This guy only practiced for three days, and he's already more skilled than everyone else.

He even learned a new spell, the Ring of Raghadore.

This is a magic spell with a fancy and slightly juvenile name, but it is actually quite simple and down-to-earth.

After use, it will form two magical round shields in your hand, and you can make these shields bigger or smaller, or combine them into one, depending on the specific situation.

The Ring of Raghadore is a prerequisite skill for many spells and one of the essential skills for Kamar-Taj sorcerers.

It comes in two forms: a yellow ring and a red ring.

The latter is a super-enhanced version, which Doctor Strange once used to block Thanos's full-force attack.

As for Depp, he can only summon the yellow Ring of Laggardor for now.

This skill is actually particularly suitable for Depp because it is a typical defensive and melee skill.

Both the Ancient One and the King greatly favored using this move for close-quarters combat.

Combined with Depp's super strength, super endurance and other physical attributes, as well as his fighting skills that are almost at the human limit, it's incredibly useful!

And melee mages are the coolest!

Three days later, the Ancient One sat in the New York Sanctuary, closed his eyes in meditation, and slowly fell asleep.

On the apprentice training grounds of Kamar-Taj, Depp, dressed in pajamas, stood with his hands behind his back and walked slowly forward.

Looking at the 180 apprentices in front of him, Depp seemed somewhat distracted.

"That Gu Yi actually made me supervise their basic training every day, that's just too much!"

Depp complained helplessly, but after all, the other party taught him magic for free, so spending half an hour every day to help out at their place wasn't a big deal.

However, among the many apprentices, a few who had been studying for over a year looked at Depp with some hostility.

After completing his basic training, Depp opened a portal and returned home.

On the apprentice training ground, several apprentice mages went to the canteen and chatted while eating.

"This guy has only been here a few days, and Master Gu Yi has already put him in charge of our training. It's outrageous!"

Arthas has been studying here for over a year and is quite talented, making him the most outstanding among these apprentices.

After he finished speaking, Moto, who was sitting next to him, chimed in, "That's right, he's only been here a short time. He's too green to be our underling. So what if he mastered those two basic spells a little faster? What's so great about that!"

Their words ignited the discontent among the surrounding apprentices.

Moto said resentfully, "Boss Arthas, I think we should teach him a lesson and let him know that we're not to be trifled with!"

After Moto finished speaking, the apprentices around him immediately chimed in with their agreement.

"Yes! We can't let this outsider be so arrogant!"

"I think it's a good idea. This guy always wears his pajamas to train with us, and we've been wanting to get over him for a long time!"

Moto said, "I suggest everyone mention the magic they are best at, so that we can coordinate more perfectly when we fight."

After he finished speaking, the dozen or so apprentices introduced themselves.

"I'm skilled with the energy whip!"

"Okay! You take control."

"I'm good at using energy balls!"

"Okay! You can launch a remote jamming attack."

"I am skilled in the Ring of Laggardore."

"Alright! You'll fight in close combat!"

"I'm also skilled in the Ring of Laggardor!"

"Alright! You'll fight in close combat too."

"I'm good at..."

As Arthas listened to the group chattering about their respective magical specialties, a smile gradually crept onto his lips.

At this moment, a discordant voice emerged.

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by Master Gu Yi for doing this?"

Arthas turned around and saw that it was a chubby little boy who said those words.

He frowned and waved his hand, and the chubby boy was pulled into the dormitory by the others.

Hearing the chubby boy's screams, Arthas leaned back in his chair and said viciously, "New brat, you better not come tomorrow."

The next day, Depp arrived at the apprenticeship training grounds at Kamar-Taj as usual.

This time, he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

A chubby boy who had always been well-behaved and sensible suddenly developed a bruise on his wrist.

Furthermore, there were more than a dozen students who were staring intently at him!

"Are these bastards trying to cause trouble?"

Depp muttered to himself, feeling somewhat worried.

His main concern was that he might not be able to control his strength and accidentally kill the troublemaker with a single punch.

Everything proceeded as usual, and Depp led his apprentices into their basic training for the day.

Leading his apprentices in daily training and constantly correcting their mistakes in the details was extremely beneficial to Depp's development.

In recent times, Depp's Laggardore Ring has begun to change from yellow to red, and the color is much more intense than at the beginning. It is estimated that it will soon turn into a red ring.

Half an hour later, the basic training ended. Depp prepared to go back and catch up on his sleep before focusing on training, hoping to turn his Laggardore Ring into a red ring as soon as possible.
