Chapter 24 Coincidence? [Edited]

Sullivan was now in deep thought. What he had learned from Jean made him feel nervous. He felt that something big was going to happen in the future.

And why did he think like that?

That was because everything happens for a reason. Being invited to the mysterious chat group was one of them. And then he met Jean, who had a problem controlling her power.

But coincidentally, he got his power from Hermione through the chat group. He could help her with that problem. Then, because she wanted his help, he got the knowledge about mutants from her as a payment somehow.

It was like he had been warned about the danger by some unknown force.

'Could it be a coincidence? I think not!'

Mutants must be a key point in everything that is going to happen.

If their number was just one or two digits, then he wasn't that concerned, but to have someone with supernatural power in four digits He could see a huge headache coming like a storm in the future.

'Is it my luck doing it again?" I got invited to the chat group because I may have encountered a calamity-level disaster in the future, but I am just a sloth who lazes around. How could I survive in the future when war breaks out between humans and mutants?

Sullivan let out his thoughts in a low voice.

"There will be war, absolutely."

Jean heard what Sullivan muttered. She couldn't help but ask

"War… Why is that?"

"You should learn more about humans' history, Red. Because humans are afraid of the unknown, not only are they greedy and selfish."

"You speak like you are not a human."

"Human? I already rejected my humanity and became a sloth a long time ago."

"Sloth… Are you being serious with me?"

Sullivan laughed at Jean. She was too serious for her own good.

The two then speak with each other a bit. Jean now seems to have caught his personality. He was an easy-going person if she didn't annoy him.

"Well, I have told you almost all of my secrets. Now it is your turn to tell me how you could control my power."

Jean asked with her nonchalant face but deep down inside. She was very nervous.

"I didn't control it. I just made it stop."

"Can you teach me?"

"Umm, I need to ask my teacher for permission. Wait a sec."

Sullivan then sent a text to Hermione, asking if he could teach magic.

He needs to wait a little. Hermione was now working in her office.

Sullivan: Hermione. Is it alright if I want to teach someone magic?

Hermione: You want to teach someone magic?

Sullivan: Yeah, and I have something to tell you. It is really important.

Sullivan then explained everything to Hermione, who seemed curious about who Sullivan wanted to teach magic to.

She didn't think that Sullivan's world was going to face the same problem as hers, but on a far larger scale.

Hermione:Well, I think you could not teach her. If her core was blocked, you need to unblock it first.

Sullivan: But if I unblock it, I will be burned to death.

Hermione: You could use the flame-freezing charm, though. I didn't write about it because it was an advanced spell. I did not know if you could use it at that time without a wand, but from my knowledge of you, I think you can use it.

Hermione then wrote about the flame-freezing charm in the note.

The Flame-Freezing Charm was a charm that altered the effects of fire so that instead of burning, it gave off a pleasant sensation, such as a warm summer breeze or a gentle tickling sensation.

Sullivan immediately learned it. Now he was almost immune to all of the fire, but he didn't know if it worked with magical fire or not.

He asked Hermione again.

Hermione answered him that she had used it to defend against the fiendfyre the death eater used to burn down the Ministry of Magic building to the ground before, and it worked, but she needed to use much more magic in order to counter it than a normal fire.

He got confirmation from Hermione, who assured him, but he still wanted to test it by himself.

"Flamma Congelatio"

Sullivan had tried the spell before. There was an icy blue aura covering his body. He then went to the kitchen to use the fire from the stove.

Jean and Luna looked at him curiously. They followed him into the kitchen and saw him light himself on fire.

"Sullivan!!!/Sol!!!"

Luna didn't see that coming. Jean, too, was shocked and tried to extinguish the flame.

Jean had to use her power, and then the flame went out. Only Sullivan remained unharmed. Even his clothes were fine.

"Well, that felt good, like morning sunlight in a cold winter."
