Chapter 768: Shiller the Match Seller (Part 1)_1

Half an hour later, Shiller, carrying the Master Mirror, who was soaked to the bone, arrived at the office of Gotham University. At this time, Victor was packing his things, preparing to finish work for the day.

Seeing Shiller suddenly bringing a stranger, he stepped forward curiously and asked, "What's going on? Who is he? Why did you bring him to the school?"

Shiller forcefully patted the Master Mirror, causing him to sway a bit on the spot. Shiller asked him, "Right. I haven't asked for your name yet. What's it?"

"My name is Sam, Sam Scard," replied the Master Mirror, shrinking his neck in response.

Now, he was under another's thumb, and he had no choice but to lower his head. The black curse enveloping him has yet to be lifted, and he could feel his vitality draining. If Shiller couldn't lift his curse, he would surely die. Therefore, he had no choice but to follow Shiller to Gotham University.

Shiller, knowing the Master Mirror's weakness, first used psychological warfare to induce panic in him. Then, he caught him off guard by concealing everything reflective, leaving only flashy Umbrella Knife.

However, the umbrella handle and the Umbrella Knife were actually interlocked. Living within the handle of the umbrella was the Spirit of the Curse, Constantine's twin brother – the one who was strangled by him in their mother's womb before becoming the Spirit of Curse.

The Spirit of Curse could not attack on its own; it was required to possess a person or an object. During possession, it needed a certain amount of time for physical contact, so Shiller had to lure the Master Mirror to possess the umbrella himself.

In his panic, The Master Mirror impulsively chose the only route to escape and inadvertently fell into the trap, getting entangled with the Spirit of Curse.

Shiller had previously tested the effect of the Spirit of Curse on Marvel's Black Panther with highly satisfactory results. Even the Panther God was defenseless against this unknown curse.

After all, if the Spirit of Curse was indeed Constantine's twin brother, he should, like Constantine, possess an extraordinary magic talent. It wouldn't be surprising to have even greater power after transforming.

Anyway, Master Mirror was in big trouble. He was dragged to Gotham University by Shiller who was holding him by the collar. Hearing him reveal his identity, Shiller nodded approvingly and then turned to Victor, "I've run out of application forms here. Do you have more? Please give me one."

"I have some, but what do you need it for? You're not thinking of admitting him to school, are you?" Victor sized up the Master Mirror, remarking, "He doesn't seem to be a local of Gotham."

"Our school embraces diversity, and we accept students from different states as well," answered Shiller.

"Well... He doesn't really look like a student."

"That's a matter of clothing." Shiller once again replied. He tugged the Master Mirror to the break room next to the office and threw him inside. After tossing him a set of clothes and instructing him to change into it, Shiller ensured that Mirror Master wouldn't dare to escape due to the curse affliction.

Master Mirror put on the clothes - the hoodie and the track pants made him look ten years younger. Shiller once again dragged him back to the office, pointed at him and told Victor, "See? Doesn't he look more like a student now?"

"But… but does he really need to learn technology?" Victor looked the Master Mirror up and down. Noticing his shaved face, callus free hands, and otherwise excellent grooming, he continued, "He doesn't look like he needs to learn technology to support himself."

Master Mirror nodding vigorously, his neck seemed to be about to snap off. Looking at him, Shiller forced a smile and said, "It's not about whether you need to learn technology, but whether I think you need to learn technology."

The Master Mirror replied, "But... but I've graduated from university, I was a top student, I... "

Noticing Shiller's increasingly menacing gaze, the Master Mirror's voice became softer, "Alright, there's nothing wrong with having another degree."

Victor retrieved an application form and watched as Shiller filled it in. He asked, "So, which major do you plan to put him in? Auto Repair again?"

"No, I plan to create a separate major to allow his skills to shine," said Shiller, continuing to fill out the form without looking up. He added, "It will be called 'Mirror and Teleportation', under the heading of the Technical Vocational College. If any research results come out, it'll be integrated into the main college."

"Mirror and Teleportation?" Victor frowned, repeating the convoluted major. Turning to the Master Mirror, he asked, "Can you teleport?"

Master Mirror nodded absentmindedly before turning to look at the ceramic cup next to Victor. The surface of the white cup was mirror-like. With a "whoosh", the Master Mirror dived into it. On the surface of the cup, he waved at Victor.

Victor's eyes widened in astonishment and he lifted the cup up, examining it closely and utterly bemused. After a while, Master Mirror emerged from the cup. Victor immediately said, "Come over here and tell me, how did you do this? What technology is this?"

"Before making a mirror, I added a special chemical to the liquid used to make the mirror. This gave the mirror a special ability. I then carried out other researches, also there's this gun..."
