[Your next teacher will be... Reed Richards!]
As soon as she said that information flooded my mind about Reed Richards and I have only one thing to say.
Reed Richards is one smart cookie.
He's the smartest human on Earth and leader of the Fantastic Four. He has saved the world and faced cosmic threats daily. Overall, everyone should know who Reed Richards is.
'So this is the guy you chose to help refine my scientific knowledge. I got to say you really outdone yourself.'
[Hmphed, of course after all I'm in charge of your training arc.]
My room started to glitch out of existence and was soon being replaced by the iconic laboratory of Reed Richards in the Baxter Building. There I saw the man himself writing equations on a whiteboard. After he finished he turned around and saw me standing there awkwardly, he smiled and said, "Come one, I have a lot to show you."
Reed Richards started showing me everything in his laboratory he showed me his set-up with glass tubes filled with chemicals, tables with blueprints, The Bridge, and many more advanced technologies.
After showing me around his laboratory he looked at me with a serious gaze and asked, "So you really want to learn from me to help you refine your scientific knowledge?"
I looked at him seriously and nodded.
Reed Richards just stared at me and then wryly smiled, "Alright, let's get started."
...
I have to say Reed Richards truly knows his science as he immediately started teaching me. At first he tested my knowledge to know where I was at, but because of Izuru's training I had studied and mastered virtually every field of science there was.
Reed was actually impressed of my incredibly diverse and deep knowledge of science, but his was much deeper in everything.
It's pretty befitting that the smartest man of the Marvel Universe is the most knowledgeable in every field of science. Seeing that I mastered all the sciences he started teaching me on the deep end.
There's apparently a lot of things that Reed knows, but wasn't shown in the comics such as cold fusion, tachyons, and string theory.
I will say that it's actually pretty interesting that Reed Richards was actually a good teacher. Though then again this is him being my mentor because of Guru.
While I did learn many new things under him he also helped refine my scientific knowledge base.
Under his tutelage I refined my scientific knowledge even further and he even shared some iconic science and technology from the Marvel Universe such as Pym Particles and unstable molecules.
I have to say Pym Particles are pretty amazing, while it's mostly used to shrink and grow Ant-Man, labs, and even cars. I can think of a bunch of ideas to use it for such as making small ingots of materials into the size of cars, optimizing space by shrinking things, and many more.
I don't know how long I spent with Reed Richards, but he spent most of the time refining and practicing the science of the Marvel Universe.
As I continued refining my abilities I began to think of my plans of being a hero. In Earth-Bet there are many many known and unknown threats. Some powerful threats include The Fallen, The Elite, Gelleschlaft, The Yàngbǎn, and many more.
It doesn't help that this is an AU world where magic is part of the Entity's arsenal, so there are likely to be "magical" organizations in this world. Who knows maybe Myrddin does actually have magic in this world.
I also knew that I need to be much more flexible in my approach in being a hero. While I love and admire Batman, I sometimes think that he should have more advanced gadgets and tools as his threats are very dangerous.
Though still respect to his sheer skill as in the Arkham Knight game where he finished everything in one night.
I have many plans and I need to do more research on this world as I only did the bare bones in this world to see if there was anything different.
I continued practicing and thinking of new ideas for what I'm going to use unstable molecules and Pym Particles for which I'm going to change to Amamiya Particles after all no one knows about this except for me and so I'm going to take credit.
I plan to use the Amamiya Particles like Hank such as shrinking myself, cars like the hotwheels, labs, and more. Though I'm not sure what to use unstable molecules for I personally don't have any powers such as blasting fire or flying as my powers are generally considered to be Thinker and Tinker powers.
Maybe I could use it to sell costumes after all that's what they are primarily used for such as the Fantastic Four. Though I'm sure that if I start selling this in a rouge identity I would be heavily monitored by many organizations such as the PRT, Toybox, and maybe some villain organizations.
I'm also pretty sure that if I start using Pentex to sell this, my company would be hindered by the government and many rival companies. Though I'm not sure by how much considering my ancestor pretty much hard-carried this country and me being from old money.
As I was busy in my thoughts Reed was behind me observing as I continued to build gadgets from the knowledge he taught me.
I was building my original batsuit using unstable molecules, but I wasn't sure if I was going to use it as I really don't have any powers.
"That's good."
I looked at Reed as he looked at my creation with an interested gaze.
"I never really thought of using unstable molecules for armor as I mostly used it for clothing for people with powers. Then again, they are impact resistant, fire resistant, tear resistant, electrical resistant, etc. so I guess it's possible to use it as armor."
I smiled at his analysis and while I did want to use it as armor, I still wasn't sure.
Reed continued, "You're doing well. I merely helped refine your knowledge and taught you some of the science and technology of my world. Your knowledge of science is both deep and vast which is quite impressive for your age. You're going to be a great hero."
I smiled at his compliment after all it's not often you're being praised by one of Marvel's smartest man and one of the most iconic heroes.
He smiled at me softly and continued, "I'm afraid there's really nothing left to teach you, so my mentoring is now over."
I was a bit saddened and while I did enjoy what Reed taught me I knew I had to move forward.
He smiled at me one last time and soon he began glitching just like all my previous mentors and so is the area around me. He soon disappeared and I was in my room again.
I checked the time and it was already night.
I then heard Guru's voice inside my head as she asked
[So what skill do you want to refine/learn now?]
'Actually I think it's best for me to do sleep and I'll continue tomorrow.'
I sensed Guru's feeling of suprise, but I needed rest and besides I still have time.
[Alright. It's best if you do get rest after all despite learning and mastering everything you still need time for your body and mind to recuperate from all your hard work.]
That did make sense after all I was actually getting transported into another dimension and it actually wasn't just my consciences.
I then just decided to fall down on my bed and sleep as I was too tired to take a bath.
I then snoozed into dreamland.
XXXXXXX
Author's Note: The fourth chapter of his training arc is finished! I knew Reed Richards was super smart, but I wasn't sure what knowledge he knew other than just the standard physics, math, and more. Did you know that Reed actually knows more about Pym Particles than Hank?
I'm also sorry for this late and short chapter, but I've been busy with work and college.
