Chapter 283, Starting from the beginning, Stephen Strange gradually became more confident. In the morning of
Karma Taj, Stephen Strange opened his eyes and sat up from the bed as usual.
He stretched out and rubbed his face, then lifted the sheets hanging next to him and took a look at Chen Lin'an's bed.
Sure enough, it was still clean and deserted, as if no one had slept here.
For the past month, when he woke up every morning, Chen Lin'an had left the room and didn't know where he went.
He once tried to find the other party in Kama Taj, but there was no sign of the other party in either the square or the library.
It was obvious that Chen Lin'an came to learn magic just like him, but he had never seen him in any place where he studied magic, which really puzzled him.
During this period, Stephen Strange felt a sense of embarrassment whenever he recalled the unpleasant first meeting and conversation.
He used to speak in almost the same way when he worked in the hospital, but no one raised any opinions with him at that time, or if they had any opinions, no one would mention them in front of him.
Even his previous romantic partner Kristen would only say a few words to him sometimes, but he never took it to heart.
No one had ever given him any face like Chen Lin'an, and even threatened him. Well, yes, it was a threat to his life.
However, after more than a month of thinking, he also thought over and over what he said that night, and felt that it was indeed inappropriate, but he couldn't bear to apologize.
Originally, he thought that when he met Chen Lin'an in the morning or evening, he would say hello, and then use this to open up the topic and talk about what happened that night.
But he never expected that it had already been a month. When he got up in the morning, Chen Lin'an had already left, and Chen Lin'an would not come back until he had fallen asleep at night.
He thought about going to bed later at night and waiting for Chen Lin'an, but because he had to do too many things every day and was very tired, he kept waiting and fell asleep again. He still didn't know when Chen Lin'an would come back.
The two people obviously lived in the same room, but they could never see each other. If there weren't traces of washing when he washed up every morning, he would have doubted whether he lived here alone.
Stephen Strange was thinking wildly in his head as he walked into the bathroom and started washing his face and brushing his teeth.
He was in high spirits today, because just yesterday, he finally used a real magic.
It turned out that when he practiced with those mages, there wasn't even a spark, which made him wonder if his brain was not functioning properly due to the car accident.
For a whole month, he just followed those mages and shook his scarred hands, but there was no magic reaction at all.
Every time he felt other people's eyes move on him, he felt as if he was naked and extremely ashamed.
Until yesterday, the mages began to practice using Xuan Ring to open space doors.
One after another, all the mages opened spaces of varying sizes but that were all complete.
He was the only one wearing the Xuan Ring, and his hands were waving in the air, but there was no reaction at all.
He still didn't make any progress until Master Gu Yi came to check.
Master Gu Yi was silent for a moment when he saw this, and then asked him to follow him, and directly came to Mount Everest after passing through a space gate.
Just when he was wondering why he came here, Master Gu Yi first repeated to him the trick of opening the space door, then threw him a mysterious ring, and then stepped into the newly opened space door and returned to Kama. Taj.
Seeing the space door and the Ancient One Master disappearing in front of him, Stephen Strange could only shiver in the cold wind in confusion, then picked up the Xuan Ring and swung his hands wildly, trying to open a space door. , return to Kamal Taj.
If he couldn't open the space door and return to Karma Taj, then based on the clothes he was wearing now, he would probably freeze to death if he stayed on Mount Everest for just a few minutes.
After trying more than a dozen times, Stephen Strange forced himself to chant calmly several times, followed the skills he had just learned step by step, and finally returned to Karma Taj before freezing.
After this experience of successfully casting magic, Stephen Strange felt as if he suddenly had an enlightenment, and many things that he had not understood before suddenly became clear.
So he decided to re-establish his image from today on, use his bright brain, and learn magic with the highest efficiency.
Looking at himself in the mirror with an unshaven beard and long hair like a wild man, Stephen Strange decided to make up his mind and start from scratch.
He rummaged through the drawer and found a pair of scissors, and then tremblingly began to trim his hair and beard.
His trembling hands meant that he couldn't shave all the beard cleanly with a razor, so he just used scissors to cut short hair, and then tried to cut himself a clean and neat beard shape.
After 20 minutes, the slovenly long-faced long-haired monkey disappeared and was replaced by a long-faced short-haired monkey that looked very neat and energetic.
After cleaning himself up, Stephen Strange devoted himself to learning magic with a new look.
His amazing talent and clever mind finally came into play at this time, and he was frantically absorbing all kinds of knowledge at a speed that was a hundred times faster than ordinary people.
Seeing his current appearance, Master Gu Yi, who had been observing secretly, was also very satisfied.
Only with such performance can she be called the best Supreme Mage. Like the previous month, she wondered if she had seen it wrong. She clearly looked very talented in magic, and what she had observed before was indeed like this. Why now? It seems worse than an ordinary person.
She even wondered for a time whether something had changed because of Chen Lin'an's appearance.
But then she thought that Chen Lin'an had never had any contact with Stephen Strange before, so she gave up the idea.
It wasn't until Stephen Strange successfully cast his first magic, and then showed his amazing magical talent as if he had been opened up to the second line of Ren and Du, that the Ancient One Mage felt relieved and knew about the best Supreme Mage. Things haven't changed, so I can start planning the next thing with peace of mind.
On the back mountain, Chen Lin'an didn't know what experiences and changes Stephen Strange had experienced during this period.
He only knew that his control over mental power was growing every day, and that the feeling of gradually becoming more relaxed would not only be felt by him every day, but it would also be stronger every day than the day before.
