How can Professor Xavier know about Spider Supreme? It simply shouldn’t be possible.
There could only be one way. Spider Supreme had returned to this dimension and had done something which attracted the attention of Professor Xavier and his friends.
“It seems that he was indeed the one who had given you these powers.” Professor Xavier deduced from my surprised expression that Spider Supreme was indeed that someone.
“How do you know him?” Ancient One asked, contemplating the return of Spider Supreme.
“A mutant girl we were trying to recruit had encountered him. We were having difficulty recruiting her as she was quite materialistic. She wanted to use her powers to quickly become rich and thus rejected our offers.
However, later we found her at our door unconscious. After a body check we found that not only had her mutant powers were enhanced but she had also went through a secondary mutation.”
Professor Xavier explained the whole debacle. It was worth wondering why Spider Supreme would give her such powers.
“When we talked to her, we found that she had encountered that guy. She told us that when she tried to read his mind, she could not even feel it. As if there was nothing there.
Then, that guy made her unconscious with a tranquilizer. When she woke up, she was with us.”
From what I had learnt from my studies so far, this incident could have very dangerous conclusions. If she could not even find his mind then it was either because he simply was not there or was so advanced in mystic arts that her power could not even reach him.
“Moreover, her secondary mutation was a physical mutation despite her powers being telepathic. Thus, it is important for us to know about such a person who can give anyone such powers.”
It was indeed a very weird situation, although quite similar to mine. This time however, Spider Supreme didn’t even ask her and just gave her powers after making her unconscious. Just what was he trying to do?
“Are you guys still searching for him?” Ancient One asked Professor Xavier.
“Of course, we are.” Logan replied in a rough tone as if it was obvious.
“We have to search for him. Someone who can give anyone such powers and then just disappears afterwards, we simply can’t let him go without knowing his agenda.” Professor Xavier explained his reason.
“Then, I advise you to stop the search immediately. You will simply never be able to find him.” Ancient One advised Professor Xavier.
“Why can we not find him?” Professor Xavier looked puzzled after hearing her advice.

“Because he is someone from a different dimension. Moreover, a Sorcerer Supreme like I am.” Ancient One revealed the reason, shattering their worldview once again.
“Another dimension?” Professor Xavier mumbled.
All of them fell silent for quite some time. It was rather normal as their worldview was shattered twice in a matter of few minutes.
“Can you figure out his intentions as he is also a Sorcerer Supreme?” Professor Xavier asked after much thought.
“When we talk about parallel dimensions, one can’t assume a person’s behaviour using his counterpart for comparison. Someone who is a great person in this world can be just a common person in a parallel dimension. All I can say is that as a Sorcerer Supreme, his intentions can’t be evil.” Ancient One said after some thought.
“I guess we will not learn more about him in the short term.” Professor Xavier decided to end this topic for now as it was going nowhere.
“Anyways, it seems that Peter wouldn’t be joining us.” Professor Xavier said sadly.
“That’s not specifically true.” Ancient One said interrupting his words.
“Is it still possible for Peter to join us?” Professor Xavier said, his voice filled with hope.
“Actually, Peter’s admission in Kamar Taj was due to Spider Supreme. As such, he has much more freedom in his duties and is not restricted as much compared to other sorcerers. So, it is entirely possible for Peter to join your school.” Ancient One explained my special situation.
“So, Peter. Would you like to join Professor Xavier’s school? I believe it will be a unique experience for you.” Ancient One asked me if I wanted to join.
“I would like to if you don’t mind, Ancient One.” I believe that it would be a rather nice change in environment, if nothing else.
I was rather lonely back in Kamar Taj, often spending my time only in studying and practicing the mystic arts. Hopefully, I’ll make some friends this time.
“Then, I welcome you to Xavier’s school for gifted youngsters, Peter.” Professor Xavier welcomed me, this time as my future teacher.
“Of course, don’t forget that you are still a sorcerer of Kamar Taj. You will often need to return to continue your studies.” Ancient One reminded me.
After it was confirmed that I would join Professor Xavier’s school, Uncle Ben suddenly spoke.
“Say, how do your students study their regular classes? From what you have told us so far, your school only focuses on teaching your students about their mutant powers.” Uncle Ben asked concerned about my studies.
It was obviously because I was already absent from my classes for more than 2 months.
“Actually, our students continue your studies in a local school. We only provide training in mutant powers and hostel facilities.” Professor Xavier explained about his school’s facilities.
“Uncle Ben, you don’t need to worry. I have already decided to change to distance learning course for the rest of the year.” I explained my plan to Uncle Ben.
“But you know that the school only provides a distance learning course in case of a medical emergency where the student can’t continue their studies in the school for the rest of the year.” Uncle Ben asked, worried about my plan.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Ben. I will convince the school authorities. Besides, the school can’t just let their star student suddenly disappear from it.” I tried to convince Uncle Ben that I could do it.
“Very well.” This time Uncle Ben relented because he knew that I could already pass my final exams given my intelligence.
Actually, I was going to do this from the beginning even if Professor Xavier had not visited. It simply was not possible for me to continue school when I had to give most of my time to mystic arts.
“Well, it seems that everything has been settled. Then, I will take my leave.” Ancient One stood up, ready to depart.
“Please wait a moment, Ancient One.” Professor Xavier stopped Ancient One.
“If it is possible, we would like to collaborate with Kamar Taj. Given the nature of your expertise and your knowledge regarding mutants, I believe it will be a beneficial experience for our students.” Professor Xavier suggested a bold proposal.
“I will think about it.” Ancient One said only this much before creating a portal to leave.
