Chapter 53: Ancient One Joking

Emma didn't press, as she was waiting for the Ancient One's response. She knew that the latter had too many things to consider.

The Ancient One was silent, thinking of all the repercussions this would cause, until she finally asked, "What kind of superpower do you want to introduce?"

Emma had expected the Ancient One's question: what kind of world did she want to create? In fact, she already had an idea she wanted to try.

To earn Teaching Points, she must teach other people her abilities directly or indirectly. For example, what if she created a Naruto virtual reality world where she could teach all kinds of Ninjutsu, even if the players didn't have chakra in reality?

If she taught someone the Rasengan, they could use it in the game, meaning they had learned it. Even if they left the game, they had indeed learned it, but they simply wouldn't have the chakra to use it in reality. Didn't this mean she could teach them all she wanted without worrying about others using it against her?

This method, of course, had many problems. For instance, what if, by some probability, someone managed to acquire chakra through her cells or converted other forms of energy into chakra? She didn't doubt the abilities of the scientists in this world.

So, for the first world, Emma wanted to create something not very powerful so that even if players could learn it, they wouldn't gain much power.

She naturally thought of the Demon Slayer world, especially with her knowledge of the Breathing Techniques.

Normally, one would have to train for years and build a strong body before learning the Breathing Techniques. However, at the start, she could make them meet the minimum requirements in the game.

Then, they would naturally have to learn the Breathing Techniques themselves. Nonetheless, she would gain all the knowledge they acquired—only better.

Even if players later learned the techniques in reality, it wouldn't grant them enough power to threaten her. At most, they would reach a level between Captain America and Spider-Man.

She said, "The first superpower set I want to introduce is from a world where humans and demons exist, though the demons are very weak."

"The humans in that world created Breathing Techniques that allow them to reach the level of demons, who are inherently stronger than humans."

"The most they can do is temporarily reach the average Asgardian level, about 15 times the strength of normal humans."

Emma couldn't help but imagine the Chitauri invading New York, only to be greeted by an army of humans using different Breathing Styles. Even Thanos would have to shudder.

The Ancient One also understood the implications of this idea. Still, she was intrigued by the Breathing Methods Emma mentioned.

Sighing, the Ancient One asked, "So, how do you plan to control all of this? With the government around, and all kinds of different forces, I don't think they'll let you do as you like."

"And even without that, for normal humans to suddenly gain supernatural powers, they could cause many problems that would eventually harm innocent people."

Emma had expected this kind of question, though she encountered less resistance than anticipated from the Ancient One.

Still, she said, "In fact, I've already reached an accord with the government to create a school for superhuman individuals. It's a little like Charles's, but mine won't be limited to just mutants."

"This would be the start, where I would train professional superheroes. All that would be left is to create an association to supervise these heroes. Of course, that's a project for later."

The Ancient One, expressing her understanding, took another look at Emma, sighed, and said, "I guess you're prepared for this project of yours. No matter. As long as it doesn't endanger the Earth as a whole, I won't intervene."

"Still, you must understand that every little action in life has consequences. What you're planning will change the lives of billions of people. Are you ready to bear that responsibility?"

Honestly, Emma hadn't thought that far ahead. All she considered was how to use the system, gain more power to protect herself from future dangers, and enjoy her life in the Marvel world—maybe even roaming the universe or multiverse someday.

As for creating her school to train heroes, it was mainly for her system, with the heroes' association being more of a side project.

She thought, giving people the power to protect themselves in this dangerous world was already enough. But well, she knew human nature.

Humans were always greedy for more, wanting to control things above them, fearing yet desiring the unknown. Especially in the Marvel world, where human potential was enormous.

Fortunately, the Ancient One made her remember that this wasn't some kind of game, but reality—where everyone had to be responsible for their choices.

She said, "Don't worry. I'll take responsibility. You can also contribute while supervising and helping me. I think being close to someone as wise as you might help me gain some wisdom."

The Ancient One was amused by Emma's obvious flattery and jokingly said, "Well, I guess you could prepare a room for me in your apartment for better supervision."

Emma didn't expect the Ancient One to joke. She could only smile at this while lamenting that if only Dr. Strange had inherited half of her character, the world would be much safer and easier.

Anyway, Emma made a note to find a way to cure the Ancient One of her dark energy dependency while ensuring she still had a long lifespan. Though it wouldn't be easy, there were still a few years before her death.

With that, their discussion returned to Emma's desire to make Kamar-Taj her meeting place to impress people and perhaps even turn it into her base. However, the Ancient One refused this idea but offered another suggestion.

In her world, Kamar-Taj's location had to remain absolutely secret. The people Emma would invite would inevitably learn its location, even if they arrived through a portal.

Instead, the Ancient One suggested using a simple Mirror Dimension. It was truly impressive, especially for people who didn't have a deep understanding of what a dimension truly was.

When Emma thought about it, it made sense. It would certainly leave an impression, making people believe her ideas were possible. After all, they were scientists by nature. How would they react to learning one could access another dimension through magic?
