Chapter 23

After getting home, I started my training. Yes, I train now, and Garen is the one who suggested that I train like how the vanguards do it to improve my physical strength.

He also brought back some petricite swords of different kinds, and I'm currently using a petricite broadsword much like Garen's sword but a little smaller.

"You're doing a good job summoner, a little bit more and you'll be on par with the vanguard's trainees," Garen said something that he thinks will encourage me, and surprise surprise, it did not.

I looked at him in my peripheral and said while still continuing the swinging motion that I'm doing "That's not really encouraging Garen, but thanks"

We always trained like this every other day. And for the days in between, I'm training with Eve in controlling her power.

Nothing really noteworthy happened in the few months, Peter invited MJ to the dance, Ned invited Betty Brant, and she accepted. Of course, I'm with Gwen.

The thing that's bothering me is that Vulture Aka, Liz's father, never showed up. 'Is this because of the ripples that I caused?'

Well, if he doesn't show up, then that's good, less problem for Spider-Pete.

Speaking of Spider-man villains, Peter fought Green Goblin last week, and fortunately, no one died. Pete got injured tho, and Ned already knows about Peter being Spidey.

There's nothing important happening to me yet, but I can't say the same for Peter.

//December 12, 2013: Almost 2 Months after the Convergence (Note: I'll be putting dates starting now because it is easier this way after the time-skips that I'm doing)//

"Come on summoner, you can do better!" Garen shouted as I'm trying my best to get up again after being thrown like a sack of potatoes by him.

I stood up and readied my fighting stance. I'm using a broad sword, as I'm not as strong as Garen without my Summon: Integrate, I'm holding the sword with two hands and it is positioned at my right side.

I rushed at Garen who's holding a petricite training sword, and I used my momentum to power the upward slash that I sent.

The blade created a perfect arch, but Garen just blocked it with his arm guard like nothing. I released my grip of the broad sword and followed the momentum to perform a tackle, a very stupid move. Who the hell would think that tackling an absolute unit like Garen is a good idea?.

And as they say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. And my prize is another shoulder bash from the Demacian noble.

"Summoner, how many times do I have to tell you that tackling a much larger opponent is never a good idea?" Garen berates me with exasperation in his voice.

"But I still need to try, right? What if they are so top-heavy that a little force can make them fall?" I said with a pained grin plastered on my face.

I raised my hand and cast a heal to myself and stood up after a few seconds of recovery.

"We'll end our training now. A little advice never assumes anything without proper proof, or else it might become the cause of your death." He said to me while reaching his hand out to help me up.

"Yeah, I never should've really done that. You should rest too. And an important thing to note, beware of the mist and help the sentinels." I said to Garen before sending him away.

After a few months of training with Garen, I learned that the Mage uprising already happened, but the Freljord's invasion has yet to occur. Giving him some warning about Viego's conquest will give them time to prepare for what really matters, and I even tried to warn my 3rd to summon about what is to come, but being confined in a prison for their 'safety' doesn't really give time to help them to prepare for what is coming.

=December 24, 2013 // 7:30 am=

Grandma, Mom, me, and Ivy are currently at the kitchen, preparing ingredients for the Christmas feast later, while Dad is preparing the things that we will set aflame later(barbecue).

Mom suddenly stopped cutting the carrots and her smile vanishes

"Mother, We've got early visitors, both welcome and unwelcome ones." She said to Grandma.

Grandma looked outside, and by the way, she reacted, she probably knows who is it that Mom is talking about.

We go outside and I saw Dad standing in front of a group of six people. The two on the front and four at the back.

The two men leading the group look about the same age as my father, one is wearing a weird kind of metal helmet and the other one is literally rolling up unto us because he's in a wheelchair. Oh, he has a helmet too, but with wires connected onto his ride.

Then the four at the back's description is as follows, from left to right.

A redhead girl, one man is wearing an odd-looking visor, another one is looking like someone into furry stuff, and a blonde lady. All four of them are wearing what looks like some kind of latex costume.

I know them, the X-men, but why is Prof. X looks young and has hair? And Magneto looks so young too. The redhead is Jean Grey, the one with a weird visor is Scott Summers, the furry one is Dr. Hank Mccoy, and of course the ever so gorgeous Jennifer Lawrence, Mystique.

Grandma walks forward and says "It's nice to see you Charles and Erik, and I must say, you two look much younger than you two should be."

Prof. X wheeled forward and answered grandma with confusion on his face "This is how we always looked like, what do you mean we look younger?"

And looking at his helmet bro beside him, he also shares the same expression.

"And why do you look so old now? What really happened?" Asked Magneto with a frown.

Grandma just looked at him with a little irritation as he just asked the forbidden question. Her eyes suddenly flashed with a golden-colored light then she just sighed.

"I know the reason that you did that is to save humankind, but what you did also put our planet into more dangerous situations," Grandma said, shaking her head.

I know what she's talking about, the 'X-men: Days of Future Past' where they sent Wolverine to the past to stop the creation of the sentinels and the extinction of not only the Post-humans but also the 'normal' humans.

With all these things adding up, I just realized how fucked this timeline is. Thanos, Apocalypse, Kang the Conqueror, and many more BBEG that will want to either rule, conquer, and destroy our world. Some even set their eyes on the destruction of the whole universe.

'I need a lot of training montage before this different sized and colored shits hits the fan.'

I would like to sincerely apologize for tge scarce updates. As all of us know, Delta variant is now rampantly spreading to many countries and a lot of people are already infected. This also caused our country's government to, again, start the quarantine protocol. So as a member of a few local government organizations, I am helping with the distribution of the food supplies for the people of the city that I'm in. And I'm also working as an Internet Technician(which is a frontliner, and I don't know why. Does repairing and installing Internet connection really deserves to be a frontline work?) which is really tiring. But anyway, I will try and type a few sentences and paragraphs when I have time. Again, sorry for the poor update. Thank You for understanding.

Happy Reading (or not)
