Meanwhile, Kytheron was currently a guest at the home of Jean Grey, the future Dark Phoenix.
Of course, perhaps calling it a visit wasn't quite accurate, as he was purely an uninvited guest.
Early this morning, as John Grey was about to open his front door to go teach his students, he pushed the door open and saw a tall figure standing at his doorstep.
The distinctive pair of large horns on the person's head and the vertical pupils in their eyes immediately gave him a bad feeling.
In an instant, he recalled the terrifying scene that had happened to his daughter a few days prior.
"Excuse me, are you…?"
John Grey still composed himself and asked, feigning calmness.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Kytheron, and I am here to see Jean Grey."
Kytheron did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose.
As soon as he said this, John Grey's heart skipped a beat.
"I'm sorry, Jean isn't feeling well right now and cannot see outsiders."
With that, John no longer thought about going to work and immediately tried to close the door.
However, with a flick of Kytheron's telekinetic power, he was completely unable to move his front door even an inch.
"Please, I beg you, don't hurt Jean, she's just a child."
Knowing that the person in front of him was not someone he could resist, John immediately began to plead.
"John, is someone outside?"
At this moment, his wife, Elaine Grey, was tidying up in the kitchen and vaguely heard the commotion, so she casually asked.
"It's nothing, don't worry, Elaine."
John tried his best to keep his tone of voice calm.
"Sir, can we please go outside to talk? I beg you!"
John's face showed a hint of pleading; he had learned about Mutants from news reports recently.
He also knew the government's attitude towards Mutants, so he was very afraid that his daughter's situation would be exposed and she would be harmed.
But, he hadn't expected trouble to come knocking on their door already!
"You actually don't need to worry. My appearance here is not to harm Jean, but merely to see what the legendary Phoenix Force looks like!"
Hearing what Kytheron said, John's face was bewildered, completely unaware of what Kytheron was talking about.
"What Phoenix Force?"
John asked Kytheron, steeling himself.
"That is an ancient power from the Universe residing in your daughter's body, which can make your daughter incredibly great."
"Hi!"
John, who was waiting for Kytheron to continue speaking, suddenly saw him greet someone behind him.
When John turned around, his daughter was standing at the top of the stairs behind him, looking somewhat flustered.
"Sir, please come in!"
Seeing his daughter come out on her own, John felt there was no longer any need to stop him, and Kytheron didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so he simply invited him into the house.
"John, who is this?"
Elaine came out of the kitchen at this moment and was not frightened by Kytheron's appearance.
After all, apart from the horns on his head, Kytheron's face was no different from a normal human's, even more resolute and refined.
"This is Kytheron, he is…"
"Hello, madam, I am a Teacher from Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, and I am here specifically to see Jean today!"
Just as John was wondering what kind of identity would be appropriate for Kytheron, Kytheron spoke up himself!
And, listening to Kytheron speak so naturally, he even began to believe it a little.
Because he had heard of this school; after all, the names of Charles and Henry Philip McCoy were quite famous among these intellectuals.
Connecting it to Jean's situation, he truly regarded Kytheron as a Teacher who had come to recruit students!
"Teacher Manish, please come in quickly."
"Jean, come here quickly."
Elaine enthusiastically welcomed Kytheron into the house and spoke to her daughter, who was standing still on the stairs.
"Teacher Manish, would you like some coffee?"
After they entered and sat down, Elaine asked Kytheron.
"No, thank you, madam!"
Kytheron politely declined her hospitality, as he was used to drinking alcohol and had no particular liking for coffee now.
"Mr. Kytheron, do you have any solution for Jean?"
John looked at his daughter sitting beside him, a look of tenderness on his face.
Although he had learned about Mutants from reports, Jean was his daughter.
Kytheron looked at the red-haired Little Phoenix in front of him with some curiosity; her round face had a few small freckles, but her gaze towards him was somewhat evasive.
[Ding! Unknown power attempted to invade the host's brain, it has been blocked.]
Suddenly, Kytheron received a system notification in his mind.
Then, Kytheron smiled at Little Phoenix.
Immediately, the young Little Phoenix nervously twiddled her fingers, as if she had done something wrong.
Ever since she woke up after suddenly fainting last time, she found that she could hear the voices in other people's minds; she heard her parents' little secrets, which she found very interesting.
However, facing Kytheron now, she unconsciously activated her ability again, but heard nothing, and it even seemed like she had been discovered by the other party!
This made her small heart begin to feel nervous.
"Mr. John, Jean's future is destined to be extraordinary. However, I do have a suitable place for her, I wonder if you would agree."
Kytheron hadn't thought too much initially; he merely wanted to witness what the Phoenix Force was like.
After all, this was one of the three ancient powers of the Marvel Universe, even if what resided in Jean Grey's body was merely a fragment of the Phoenix Force.
However, due to Jean's astonishing compatibility with the Phoenix Force, making her the most perfect host, it was not impossible for her to gather the scattered Phoenix Force from the Universe into herself in the future.
As long as she mastered the Phoenix Force, she could almost instantly cross the Multiverse level.
So, after a brief contact, Kytheron suddenly wondered what would happen if this Little Phoenix went to Kamar-Taj.
If he later sent Wanda, who mastered Chaos Magic, to Kamar-Taj as well, then he wondered if the Ancient One would still pass the title of Sorcerer Supreme to Strange.
Moreover, if Wanda were taken away, he also wondered if Vishanti could withstand the beating from the Underworld God Chthon.
Thinking about it this way, Kytheron suddenly felt that the future seemed very interesting, and he became even more determined to send Jean and the future Witch to Kamar-Taj.
"Mr. Kytheron, is the place you mentioned Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, founded by Professor Charles?"
John asked tentatively.
"No, it's another place, a place where you can learn magic."
Kytheron said this to the Little Phoenix beside him.
Upon hearing this, the other party's eyes showed a flicker of interest.
"Father, I want to learn magic."
Hearing his daughter's words, John found himself in a difficult position, because the idea of magic sounded unreliable no matter how he heard it.
