“Hmm… I think that this should be enough.” I said as I checked myself in the mirror for the fifth time.

I was wearing a white shirt with black jeans as well as a black jacket with red highlights. Moreover, even my silver hair was neatly groomed which I rarely had a chance to do.

After all, before I had gained my powers, I was quite a nerdy guy and as such, rarely focused on making myself look stylish because I thought that I would never get a date.

And after my transformation, I really had a chance to show my true appearance outside the X-Mansion. As such, this was the first time I was grooming myself properly.

As for what was the special occasion? Today was the day I was finally going on a date with Emma!

As I looked at myself in the mirror, I was sure that no Hollywood actor could match me in the matter of appearance. Unfortunately, I would likely never have a chance to show my true appearance in public.

But seriously, my silver white hair and red eyes combined with my sharp facial features made me look a little too handsome. And my appearance never seemed feminine despite such unique features because of my slitted red eyes which always gave me a wild look no matter how much I groomed myself.

Finally satisfied with myself, I went down where I found the boys watching the news on the television in the drawing room.

“Damn! Peter, you look awesome. You already looked handsome but now I am sure that no girl would ever give us a chance if she saw you with us.” Kurt commented as he saw me.

“Seriously, never let anyone get a proper picture of you, dude. Otherwise, I believe that the entire Hollywood would come running after you.” Bobby said, sure that my appearance alone would shock the entire entertainment industry.

“Thanks! But I am sure that my looks are not that exaggerated. By the way, where are the girls?” I asked.

“Where could they be? They are in Emma's room, helping her dress up for her date.” Scott answered.

“Seriously, I never thought that it would be you, Peter who would get a girl first.” Kurt said, jealous that I got a date first.

“Don't be jealous, Kurt. I am sure that you will find a girl you like soon.” I said in a bid to console him.

“It's time for us to talk about the greatest news these days. Oscorp has just unveiled its new medicine which has completely shaken the world of medicine.

It is a miraculous medicine made from the genes of a lizard which can temporarily grant a healing factor. This miraculous medicine was created by Oscorp’s lead scientist Dr. Curt Connors along with his intern Peter Parker.”

Our attention was attracted towards the television which was showing the news of the healing factor medicine Oscorp had unveiled yesterday.

“So, this is the medicine you are researching with Dr. Connors, Peter. Right?” Scott asked. They knew about this matter because I had often visited Oscorp in the recent days.

“Yeah, this is the one.” I confirmed. We had finally finished the prototype two weeks ago and after the testing, it was finally revealed yesterday.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

“Dr. Connors, may I ask why you included the name of your intern as a creator of the medicine? It is even in the temporary name for the medicine, ‘ParCon’ which contains parts of both of your names.” A news reporter asked Dr. Connors in an interview.

Due to the popularity of the ‘ParCon', Dr. Connors had been invited to a lot of interviews. Even I had been given several invitations but Dr. Connors had said that he would handle everything.

“It is because this medicine would not have been produced if it was not for Peter. Even though he is quite young, his intelligence and ingenuity are unquestionable. Our research had been completely stuck previously. It was Peter who gave us the idea of the ‘ParCon' and even completed nearly half of the research including its foundation. As such, he deserves his name as the creator of the ‘ParCon'.” Dr. Connors explained proudly.

“There has been rumours already that you would get the Nobel Prize as the creator of the ‘ParCon'. Would you share it with Peter Parker then?” The news reporter asked, shocking all of us.

“Of course, I would. After all, if it was not for Peter, the ‘ParCon' would never have been created.” Dr. Connors answered confidently.

“A Nobel Prize! Peter, you are going to get a Nobel Prize! This deserves a party, man!” Kurt said as he hugged me excitedly.

“Calm down, Kurt! It has not been confirmed yet.” I said to Kurt in a bid to calm him down.

“What is all this ruckus about?” A female voice sounded from behind us.

As I turned around, my breath was stuck by the sight before me although I was sure that my body would clearly not be affected even if I didn't breathe for an hour at the very least.

“Damn! Emma, you look almost too beautiful.” I said, complementing Emma.

Emma was wearing a black bodycon dress along with some light makeup on her face. The silver pendant on her neck only brought out her beauty more.

“Peter is going to get a Nobel Prize.” Kurt shouted, ruining the moment.

“Really?” Emma asked, surprised by Kurt's words.

“These are just rumours. Kurt is just getting too excited.” I clarified what was the entire matter.

“Oh! By the way, I can also say that you look a little too handsome.” Emma said, complementing me in return.

“Unfortunately, I won't be able to enjoy this handsome face of yours on our date.” Emma said in a regretful voice since I had to use an illusion spell whenever I was outside.

“I don't think so, Emma.” I said as I produced a pair of rings.

“These are special artefacts I have borrowed from Kamar Taj especially for today. With these artefacts, we can see our true faces even if we use illusion spells. So, we would be able to enjoy our date in peace while also hiding our appearances.” I explained the function of the paired rings.

“That's great, Peter.” Emma said, smiling gleefully as she suddenly kissed me on the cheek. She was clearly happy that I had prepared well for the date.

“It seems that the lover boy has already planned for everything.” Kitty said as she appeared in the room with the other girls.

“That’s not as you think.” I said with a blush, a little embarrassed by the complement.

Both of us equipped the rings and then casted the illusion spell on ourselves. It was not something hard for Emma to do now that she was also a proper sorcerer.

It had not taken much time for Emma, Jean and Kitty to be promoted to a sorcerer, only four to five months which proved that they were rather talented in mystic arts. However, it was clear from their progress that it would be quite difficult for them to become a Master since they would have difficulty learning the essential mystic arts to become a Master.

I changed into my previous appearance and Emma changed into appearance which were rather similar to actual appearance, only she had brown hair and was not as beautiful.

“Surprised! This is what I used to originally look like.” Emma explained why she choose this appearance.

“Well, that explains why you are so beautiful. You were already this beautiful from the start.” I said, causing Emma to smile.

We then activated our paired rings, causing me to be able to see her true appearance.

“Is it working for you? I can see your true face.” I asked.

“Well, I can see your too good to be true handsome face. So, I think it is working.” Emma said, jokingly causing us to have a small laugh.

“I can't see anything more than your illusory appearances.” Kitty said, confirming that the illusion spell was still on.

“Hope you have a great date!” Jean said as everyone bid us goodbye.

“Shall we?” I said to Emma, taking out my hand for her.

“Of course.” Emma said softly as she clasped my hand in hers.

I smiled and then opened a portal, ready to finally start our date.
