“It seems that the testing circle is ready. Check if it has been properly overlaid on the disharmony circle.” Ancient One said, giving directions to the sorcerers who were carving the circle.
As the testing had to continue, the sorcerers once again carved the testing circle which has been destroyed because they had hastily created the disharmony circle.
Of course, because of what had happened with Jean, Ancient One had decided to be cautious and keep the disharmony circle and overlay the testing circle on it, just in case, something like the incident with Jean happened.
This led to more time being required to ready the testing circle as overlaying of magic circles was a complex job. But it was always better to have it and not need it rather than not have it at all.
“Kitty! It is your turn. Come, the testing circle is ready.” Ancient One gestured for Kitty to enter the circle once it was confirmed that the circle was ready.
“Nothing will happen, right?” Looks like Kitty was slightly afraid after what happened with Jean.
“Don't worry. Nothing will happen. It was just a one-off thing.” Ancient One said, ensuring that nothing will happen.
Kitty entered the circle after receiving support from Ancient One, her feet a little shaky but her stance got firm once she was at the centre. Looks like she was now ready.
“So, what should I phase out of? My powers don’t really work if I don't have a picture of what I have to phase out of.” Kitty explained that she could not activate her powers if there was nothing to use them on.
“Let me help!” Ancient One said, casting a spell and suddenly a wall popped out in front of Kitty.
“Alright! Let's finish this!” Saying these words, Kitty put on a determined expression. Then, she activated her power and phased through the wall.
“That's it. You can leave the circle now, Kitty.” Ancient One said after Kitty had completed the testing.
“That was it! Looks like I was indeed worried for nothing.” Kitty said as she realised that her worries were for nothing.
“Hmm…. It's a very unique result.” Ancient One mumbled after seeing the results.
“Kitty!” Ancient One suddenly addressed Kitty in a serious voice.
“I will tell you the results. But first, I would like you to join Kamar Taj as a honorary sorcerer.” It seems that the result this time was indeed unique. After all, Ancient One had already given the offer as a honorary sorcerer without even explaining the results.
“Really! Thanks a lot, Ancient One.” On the other hand, Kitty was happy that she had got a chance to learn magic and had not even thought about the results which was rather typical of her.
“Your powers are very unique. Whenever you phase your body, you are actually displacing your body temporarily to a different dimension. This can actually be said to be an application of spatial attribute but it is such a rare application that I think has never been done before. As such, we would like you to join Kamar Taj so that we can see how can you develop this unseen power of yours.” Ancient One explained just how unique Kitty’s powers were.

“Wow! My powers are this much unique. And here I thought that my powers were nearly useless.” Kitty was incredibly happy to learn how special her powers were. However, it was the first time I was learning about Kitty’s insecurity regarding her powers.
“What's it I am hearing about, Kitty? How can you even think that your powers are useless?” Emma said to Kitty, angry at her for thinking that her powers were useless.
“Sorry! I will not do it again. It is just that my power felt very lame compared to everyone else’s power. Besides I have now learnt how special my powers are.” Kitty said, apologizing to her best friend for thinking this way.
“Emma, it is your turn. After all, you are the last one among the girls.” Ms. Ororo said, reminding her that it was her turn.
“If I am correct, you are the one whose powers were enhanced by Spider Supreme, right?” Ancient One asked Emma politely.
“Yeah! What of it?” Emma said in a rather rude tone.
“No, it's nothing. I am just curious about the nature of your powers. Although we will learn about it anyways in a few moments.” Ancient One clarified why she was curious about her.
“So, I just need to do what Jean was doing, right?” Emma asked after entering the testing circle.
“Yes. But before that, I need to analyse that diamond form of yours Peter had told me about.” Ancient One replied.
“Alright!” Upon hearing Ancient One's words, Emma entered her diamond form so that it could be analysed.
In this diamond form, it looked like her body was made of translucent crystals thus the name. Although Emma could still be said to be beautiful in this form, it felt more like she was an alien beauty than a human one.
“Hmm… This form was given to you by Spider Supreme, right? It is indeed a powerful form capable of giving you superhuman strength and defence but it is not related to your X-gene.” Ancient One explained after seeing the results that this form of hers was not related to the X-gene.
“But you should already have known its demerits, right?” Ancient One asked Emma.
“Yeah! I can't use my psychic abilities in this form. But on the other hand, in this form, I am immune to telepathic abilities which I have already checked with the help of Professor Xavier and Jean. In this form, it is like my skin becomes a complete nonconductor of telepathic abilities.” Emma confirmed that she had already figured out the demerits of using this form.
“Well, since you already know, we can move to the main part which is your psychic abilities.” Ancient One said, transferring some objects inside the circle for Emma to move.
“Alright! I hope nothing bad happens.” Emma said, lifting the various objects with her powers so that they could be analysed.
At first, everything was fine but after a few moments, Emma suddenly started frowning for some reason. A small telekinetic storm could also be felt to be slowly forming around her.
I was about to ask Ancient One to stop the testing but it was not required as she had already realised that something was wrong.
“Stop the testing circle now! And also activate the disharmony circle.” Ancient One immediately gave the order upon seeing that Emma was frowning.
“You okay, dear.” Ancient One asked Emma as she ran to her immediately after the disharmony circle was deactivated.
“I am fine. I suddenly had a big headache for some reason.” Emma explained what had happened.
“I know what had happened, dear. For some reason, you have a connection with the same cosmic entity who is connected to Emma.” All of us were stunned when we heard the reason for Emma's headache.
“But how can that be possible? Jean has such a large phenomenon upon testing but I had just a headache.” Emma asked as the results of the testing had been much different for her and Jean even though both of them were connected to the same entity.
“It is because your connection is weaker. Honestly, it can be even be said that this connection is artificial. I believe that it was formed by Spider Supreme and it was not there always.” Ancient One hypothesized that Spider Supreme was behind Emma's connection to this cosmic entity.
Just what had Spider Supreme even used on Emma for this to happen?
