Chapter 013 Are You Done Learning Now?!

Tony Stark was in a good mood today.

His mouth moved like a machine gun, and he kept talking as soon as he entered the room, leaving Luo Bai no chance to speak.

After rambling for a long time, he finally noticed that Luo Bai hadn't said a word and couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you speaking?! Aren't you happy that you made the front page of the news?!"

"I'm happy. It's just that you're so excited that it seems like I'm not," Luo Bai replied with a smile.

Only then did Tony Stark realize his own overexcitement and quickly added, "I'm happy for you. You know, celebrities like me often get reported by major news outlets, so I'm used to it."

"Really? But I didn't even get a chance to interrupt you just now," Luo Bai continued to complain.

Tony Stark felt more embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "Okay, let's not dwell on that. Do you want to know what everyone thinks of you?! Let's see~"

He pulled out a newspaper.

Luo Bai took it and saw the bold headline: "New York Crisis!" printed prominently on the front page.

In fact, even without reading it, Luo Bai knew what it contained.

Before the emergence of "Iron Man," most citizens of New York City were unaware that superpowers existed in the world.

But after last night's events, people realized things were not so simple.

The media, government, and even citizens of New York were paying close attention to this matter.

Some thought the emergence of "super-powered individuals" was exciting, while others were concerned.

This was a normal reaction, so Luo Bai didn't pay much attention. What really caught his eye was that he was referred to in the newspaper as the "Mysterious Man"?!

"Why do people call you 'Iron Man' and give me the title of 'Mysterious Man'?!" Luo Bai couldn't help but complain.

"Probably because people haven't realized yet that you can use magic," Tony Stark explained.

Luo Bai had no retort because he couldn't argue with that.

Although the newspaper published a photo taken by a drone, which clearly showed his face and the way he looked when he cast the teleportation spell, it was obviously impossible for the media to identify him as a "mage." After all, most people, like Tony Stark, didn't believe that magic truly existed in this world.

Considering this, Luo Bai became more accepting of the title "Mysterious Man."

However, he was still a bit curious.

"Tony, did you come here just to tell me… that I was in the news?" Luo Bai asked.

Tony Stark shook his head, took out his sunglasses from his pocket, and put them on as he said, "Of course not. I'm here to take you to a press conference~"

"A press conference?!"

Luo Bai was curious and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?!"

Tony Stark smiled excitedly and said, "You saved New York yesterday, and you can do magic!! You should be known to the whole world! I'm holding a press conference through Stark Industries, where I'll announce that I'm Iron Man, and I also want to introduce you to the people of New York~~ It's cool to have mages in the city!"

It seemed that because he had a good relationship with Luo Bai and because he was a mage, Tony Stark wanted to introduce him at the press conference.

With Stark Industries' influence, if Luo Bai agreed to attend, he could become popular and a significant superhero.

But that would mean his identity would be completely exposed.

Thinking that he still needed to grow, Luo Bai declined the kind offer: "Forget it, I prefer a simpler life."

This made Tony Stark curious, and he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want everyone to know that you're a mage? If I could use magic, I would definitely want the world to know! After all, that's really cool!"

Luo Bai shook his head and explained, "It feels great to be famous, but it also brings a lot of troubles."

"Trouble?! What trouble?!" Tony Stark was puzzled.

If it were anyone else, he might not be so confused, but with Luo Bai, he didn't understand.

After all, Luo Bai was a mage who could send people thousands of miles away with just a wave of his hand.

What kind of trouble could someone with such power worry about?!

"There are many troubles. I can't explain them all right now, but you'll understand eventually." As he wondered, Luo Bai provided this answer.

This response made Tony Stark feel it was as good as saying nothing.

"Okay. Although I don't know why, I respect your decision. I'll hold the press conference later, so I'll take my leave now~" Without further persuasion, Tony Stark said goodbye.

After he left, Luo Bai couldn't help but ponder while looking at the newspaper in his hand.

He hadn't expected to gain so many benefits after accidentally joining the "battle" last night.

Not only did he receive a hanging ring, but he also became known in New York.

While being famous is a good thing, it also gave Luo Bai a greater sense of urgency.

After all, being famous meant he could be targeted by more villains. For now, it seemed he could only work harder to learn magic.

Lost in thought, Luo Bai returned to his room to continue his magic studies.

He didn't know how long he had been studying, but he didn't stop until he had finally finished learning all the white magic in "The Complete Collection of Supreme Masters."

After mastering the magic, Luo Bai wasted no time. He opened a portal and headed to Kamar-Taj.

...

Kamar-Taj.

The Ancient One was discussing academic issues with the mages from afar while Modu was listening.

At that moment, a portal suddenly appeared, drawing the attention of the three of them.

If an unknown portal had appeared before, Modu might have felt nervous, worrying about whether Kamar-Taj was under threat.

But after the last incident, he was no longer so anxious.

Especially after seeing Luo Bai step out of the portal, confirming his guess, a smile appeared on his face.

"Hey~ we meet again~" Modu took the lead in greeting.

Luo Bai responded politely, "Yes, we meet again."

"Are you practicing teleportation magic? Although the hanging ring can help you position yourself better, it is still just an auxiliary magical tool after all. But don't worry; you've only been practicing for two days. It's always challenging at the beginning. You'll encounter some difficulties, but just keep practicing and you'll be fine," Modu comforted him with a smile.

He seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that Luo Bai had opened the wrong portal again, so he patiently reassured him.

In fact, he wasn't the only one who misunderstood; even the Ancient One was confused.

Just when Modu was about to give Luo Bai a reminder to help him improve more quickly, he didn't expect to hear Luo Bai say next, "It was a little rough before, but it became much smoother after using the hanging ring."

Modu was taken aback and asked, "So, you teleported here on purpose?!"

"Yes, I came to see the Supreme Mage," Luo Bai explained.

"Do you have business with the Supreme Mage?!" Modu asked.

Luo Bai nodded with a smile. "I'm here to return the book. I've finished studying the contents of 'The Complete Collection of Supreme Masters.'"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an instant silence in the main hall.

Mordo: "!????"

Ancient One: "????!"

Huh?!

Finished studying… already?!

It's only been a few days… and you say you've completed your studies?!
