Alaric's room.
Just when Alaric was about to begin, Amora suddenly stopped him.
"That… the sound… Will it be heard…"
Amora remembered that Clea's room was next to Alaric's, and moreover, it was her first time, if she couldn't hold back and got too loud…
"I know, I'll block it."
Alaric really didn't expect to use magic in this kind of situation…
But it made sense, until now, he'd only lived in the temple with Jane, so he didn't have to worry about anyone hearing anything.
Alaric opened a spatial domain and completely isolated his bedroom from the rest of the temple.
After a long time, the spring night ended just before dawn.
Alaric kissed the sleeping Amora, got up, and left the room.
Although Amora was an Asgardian with physical abilities far beyond earthly women, after an entire night of battle, it had been a bit much even for her.
However, Alaric said Amora was still much more resilient than Jane.
...
"Alaric, today you're officially teaching me magic!"
As soon as Clea woke up and saw Alaric drinking coffee on the sofa, she joyfully ran over.
Clea was fascinated by Alaric's powerful magic!
In her heart, she also wanted to become as strong as Alaric!
So that she could return to the Dark Dimension and banish Dormammu!
"Alright, first tell me what magic you already know?" Alaric nodded and agreed.
"Oh… Actually not much, I can just basically use magical energy to attack enemies and teleportation magic."
Clea said, a bit embarrassed.
"And there's also the Crimson Bands of Raggadorr that Ancient One taught me!"
Clea said that and demonstrated.
"And the magic whip!"
Yesterday, Clea used those two spells to repel quite a few Chitauri, and in practice they worked quite well.
"Alright, and your teleportation magic?"
"My teleportation magic uses too much energy, and I mostly use it to open large dimensional passages or for big teleportations."
Clea explained.
"Okay, I'll first teach you our Kamar-Taj teleportation magic, and once you master that, I'll teach you my personal magic."
Alaric stood up and said.
"Yay!!!" Clea jumped with excitement.
"Let's go to the first floor, there's more space there."
"Okay, but what about Amora, why hasn't she woken up yet, she really likes to sleep in, should we wake her?"
Clea asked suspiciously.
"Kh, don't worry about her, maybe she's just too tired from yesterday."
Alaric said casually.
But it was true, since they barely slept, Amora was really exhausted.
"Alright!"
...
First floor.
Alaric explained to Clea the key points of teleportation magic and demonstrated.
Theoretically, a Kamar-Taj sorcerer is supposed to use a Sling Ring when casting this spell.
However, ever since Alaric learned it, he's been casting it directly.
That's why, when Clea began practicing and couldn't quite get it, Alaric simply told her to increase the magical energy output!
As long as you have enough magical energy, even without a Sling Ring you can open a portal.
That was Alaric's experience!
And since Kamar-Taj sorcerers don't have that much magical energy, they have to rely on the Sling Ring to use the magic.
But since Clea's magical energy source comes from Alaric's Eternal Night World and the God of Black Magic, her starting point is far above that of ordinary sorcerers, her energy is limitless, and she doesn't need to worry about consumption or depletion!
So under Alaric's guidance, Clea kept increasing the output of her magical energy and very quickly managed to use teleportation magic successfully.
"It worked!?"
Clea stared in shock at the space on the other side of the portal, the bookshelf area on the third floor.
"This is so much easier than my teleportation magic!"
Clea said this kind of magic, where you just draw a circle, was simply way too convenient!
"Exactly, it's the first spell every Kamar-Taj sorcerer must learn."
"And once you master it, you'll be able to open portals with just a thought, like this."
Alaric personally demonstrated and opened a portal to the third floor without any motion.
"So powerful!" Clea exclaimed.
"In general, just practice this as much as possible."
"I will!" Clea nodded.
"And what about your exclusive magic? What is it!?"
Clea was full of anticipation.
"I'll first teach you Magic Refining Body, we'll start with control of magical energy."
Alaric thought for a moment and decided that would be the first step.
That magic is somewhat similar to inner energy, by spreading magical energy throughout the body, it enhances physical strength, striking power, defense, and speed.
Moreover, it's magic that can only truly be used by Alaric or someone like Clea, who through Alaric's seal has unlimited access to the energy of his dimensional world.
But if other sorcerers scattered magical energy like that, they would quickly fall into debt, maybe even end up like Ancient One.
That's why Mordo could so far only condense a small amount of magical energy into a fist, but couldn't spread it through the whole body, that's the reason.
Not everyone is Alaric, able to cast magic without paying a price.
Clea actually doesn't understand all these principles; for her, it's enough to do what Alaric teaches her.
That's exactly why Ancient One sent Clea to learn magic from Alaric.
Because what Clea has as conditions, it's a level that makes Ancient One cry with envy!
Ancient One even thought that if she had a child, she would do anything to make them apprentice under Alaric!
Not for any other reason, but because of this benefit: unlimited magical energy!!
"Magic Refining Body? What's that?"
"Let's change location."
Alaric said and took Clea to the stone world.
"Here, try to break this rock."
Alaric nodded toward the stone in front of Clea.
"With magic?" Clea asked, already preparing to cast a spell.
"No, with your physical strength."
"Huh? How's that supposed to be possible!?"
Clea's eyes widened in shock, looking at Alaric.
I'm a sorceress!
I'm not an alien or some kind of monster!
Without magic, I'm the same as a regular person, just a little tougher!
And still nowhere near Asgardians like Thor.
"I'll first let you feel my magic."
As he said that, Alaric channeled magical energy into Clea's body through the magic seal on her hand, enhancing it.
"Ohoooh! That feeling!!"
Clea felt magical energy flowing through her entire body like a warm wave and let out a cry of delight.
"Alright, now try breaking it," Alaric said again.
"It won't hurt, right?"
"Trust me."
"Okay!!"
Clea nodded seriously, her face determined, approached the rock as tall as she was, clenched her fist, felt the power in her body, and struck with all her strength.
"Hah!"
Rumble!
The solid rock shattered into pieces.
"Oh my God!!!"
"That's right, that's the Magic Refining Body, do you want to learn it?"
"I want to learn! I want to learn!!"
