Chapter 53

Although this was currently just a hypothesis, there was a very good chance for it to be true. As such, I should ask Professor Xavier to check if there was any truth in this assumption when we return.

"I am sorry, Kurt if I caused some of your bad memories to resurface." Ancient One apologized, even if all she had done was explain the results of the observation of his powers to Kurt.

"It is alright, Ancient One. Besides, if you hadn't told me about this matter, who knows if I would ever learnt about it." Kurt said to Ancient One that there was no need for her to apologise.

"Alright. Moving on to your powers, aside from your teleportation ability, you also have a great affinity towards spatial attribute. As such, I would like to offer you the position of an honorary sorcerer in Kamar Taj." Ancient One suddenly gave an offer for an honorary sorcerer to Kamar Taj, surprising all of us.

"An honorary sorcerer! Is this spatial attribute such rare that you would offer an honorary sorcerer's position to me easily?" Kurt questioned, having already heard from me how rare it was for someone to have an honorary position in Kamar Taj.

"Have you seen Peter's storage bracelet?" Ancient One posed a question instead of answering Kurt's question.

"Of course, I have seen it. Its function to store a large amount of goods in such a small space is simply miraculous." Kurt replied, having seen my spatial bracelet's efficiency.

"Then you should know that it was made using the spatial attribute. And the spatial attribute is so rare that we would be considered lucky if we could find someone with it in a century.

Currently, most of the storage bracelets we have were made about a thousand years ago by researching an extremely rare spatial attribute artefact called Tessaract. As such, we are in imminent need of someone who has spatial attribute.

Once you have some sort of mastery over spatial attribute, you can help Peter in making the strongly needed storage bracelets."

Ancient One explained why she had suddenly given such an offer to Kurt.

"So, do you accept my offer?" Ancient One asked Kurt after completing her explanation.

"Hell yes! Who in the world would miss a chance to learn magic?" Kurt agreed excitedly to her proposal, ready to learn some magic.

"Jean, you should go next." Scott said to Jean after it was confirmed that Kurt would be a honorary member of Kamar Taj.

"But I believe that you need it more, Scott. Mine is just a small problem. What if Ancient One could find a way for you to deactivate your powers temporarily? Then, you would not need to wear these sunglasses every moment of your life." Jean argued that Scott's problem was more important.

"Fine. But you have to promise me that you are going next." Scott relented but not before taking a promise from Jean that she was going next.

"Alright. Start the analysis. But where should I focus my lasers?" Scott asked after entering the circle.

"Peter, would you please make some targets? However, make sure that they don't enter the magic circle." Ancient One asked me to create some targets for Scott to shoot.

"With pleasure." I casted the Spectral Wyverns spell, creating wyverns for Scott to shoot.

"So, what are the results?" Scott asked as he came out of the circle after shooting all the wyverns.

"Hmm… Your problem can be said to be the opposite of your friends. Your power is simpler in nature but it is because of this fact that it is difficult to deal with." Ancient One said after seeing the results.

"Your power is an energy emission type which can be considered to be one of the simpler mutant abilities but the problem is that the organ which is used for the emission of the energy are your eyes. As such, it is difficult to deactivate your mutant power especially since it is quite strong."

"Does that mean you can't do anything?" Ms. Ororo asked, worried about Scott's situation.

"It is not that we can't do anything but that it can't be solved in an instant. We can guide him in controlling his powers and even enhance their firepower.

However, if Scott wants to deactivate his power, he would have to gain full control over them. We can just guide him throughout the process. The actual result will depend on Scott himself."

Ancient One revealed that she could not do much in this matter as Scott would have to depend on himself for his condition, all she could do was guide him along the way.

"Could you not create an artefact to suppress his mutant power like you are doing for me?" Rogue asked after hearing Ancient One's words.

"We could have created one if it was any other organ which was the channel for releasing energy. But eyes are too risky. One mistake and Scott could turn blind. As such, we can't do anything." Ancient One explained why they could not do anything in this case.

"You all don't need to worry. Ancient One has already said that she will guide me in controlling my powers. I can do it myself with her help. It will just take some time." Scott told us not to worry as it was not a bad result.

"Jean, it is your turn now like you have promised."

"I know. You don't need to repeat the promise." Jean said, entering the magic circle.

"So, what should I do for testing?" Jean asked Ancient One.

"You just need to float these objects for sometime." Ancient One said while floating some objects inside the testing circle. "If we can't find anything, we will try telepathy."

As per Ancient One's instructions, Jean started floating the objects. At first, everything was good then suddenly something unexpected happened.

Jean's telekinesis started going haywire. The objects floating around her were crushed by the increasing pressure and her psychic powers created a small storm centred around her.

"Jean, stop it!" We all yelled at Jean, calling for her to stop yet she didn't seem to hear it for some reason.

"Ancient One—"

Buzz! Buzz!

Ms. Ororo was just shouting at Ancient One who was observing everything with a calm expression till now to ask what was happening when even the testing circle started sparkling for some reason.

"Stop the testing circle now!" Ancient One gave the order in a loud voice with a horrified expression on her face.

Well, we all know what had caused that reaction. I don't think that I need to spell it out.
