Chapter 26.

If you feel this chapter is a bit fast, and that it skips in some parts, it is because I want to rush things a bit, I realized that when I write sometimes I start to get carried away and lose focus.

I usually don't like filler, and I noticed that I am starting to write a lot of filler from time to time (This is not a slice of life). But do not worry, from the following chapters I will focus more on writing important parts for the development of the story, and not scenes without relevance.

-------------------------------------------------

"Hit me with all your might kid"

"..."

"What are you waiting for!? I must know how much strength you have to know that you need to train "

"Are you sure about this Master Mordo?"

Alex was standing in front of Master Mordo in Kamar-taj, in an area made for hand-to-hand combat. It's been a week since the new year arrived, a week since 2011 began, there was only this year left before the battle for New York against the Chitauri army being led by Loki.

But this did not matter much to Alex, he would make sure to take the family out of him for a few days of vacation before that happens, then he will face the Chitauri who try to destroy the Exodus Infinity building.

At this point, Alex has already started his official training to become a master of the mystical arts.

The training consists of two parts, the physical part, in which one must train in different martial arts to strengthen the body, and the "magic" part where Alex has to learn to invoke whips made of energy and be able to mold it to his liking, as well as opening portals in space to teleport from one place to another.

"Don't get arrogant just because of your strength, do you think you are the first to fight me with super strength?" Mordo said with a serious face as he looked at Alex.

Alex even though he heard this couldn't help but hesitate with his gaze.

Master Mordo just sighed and said, "Look, if it makes you feel safer I'll use a power-built shield." A thick Roman-style shield appeared on Mordo's arm.

"Well this is better than taking him head-on," Alex thought as he prepared to deliver a full-force blow to Mordo's shield. This was strange, Alex did not know what his maximum strength was, he always tends to contain himself so as not to destroy anything.

Mordo planted his feet on the ground and took a defensive form with the shield in front, he knew Alex was strong but enough to need such a thick shield was a bit ridiculous.

"Here it goes!" Alex threw a full-force blow from him in a straight line. Alex's fist struck right in the center of the shield. A sound like glass breaking rang out as the shield on Mordo's arm broke.

"Shit!" Mordo flew off at top speed while he still had his teeth clenched, he flew rapidly through the air until he was about to crash into a column.

Thanks to his refined reflections from so many fights, Master Mordo managed to open a portal just behind him before the collision, only now he was flying into the sky due to Alex's strength.

When he could already see all of Kamar-Taj from the sky, he suddenly stopped, he was no longer advancing upwards and neither was he falling towards the ground.

"I told him, but I'm surprised his arm wasn't broken" Alex grabbed Mordo with one hand from behind his back and was holding him by the shirt to keep him from falling, after all, they were in the sky several hundred feet away. Tall. And Alex was the one who could fly naturally.

Alex had a shocked look seeing that even though he hit with full force from him, that he would probably be able to generate a huge shock wave from a good radio. He only managed to break the shield made by Master Mordo.

What Alex did not know is that this action was almost impossible, not even a bomb would be able to make one of the energy shields made by the Kamar-Taj masters falter, much less Mordo who was one of the strongest.

After all, in Kamar-taj they always train to face threats that put this dimension at risk.

"My arm is not broken, but it hurts like hell" Mordo did not say, but his arm seriously hurt, this force inside Alex was something terrifying, he appreciated the fact that he was not careless and did not make a light shield, if not his arm would be broken.

After descending to the ground back to the same place where they were before, Alex put Mordo on the ground, and then he stood in front of it.

Master Mordo put his hands behind his back to hide the trembling of his arm a little, and with a serious and dignified face he said: "Your strength surprised me a bit, but don't let it go to your head that you are the strongest existing "

Alex watched Mordo as he spoke without saying a word.

"From what I see strength you are not lacking, but you suck in technique, so I suppose you have never bothered to receive formal training, am I wrong?"

Alex shook his head, he had never tried to receive any kind of training, since due to his high strength if his practice partner was a human being it is very likely that even if he held back to the maximum, he would finish with something broken or fractured.

"To be a master of mystical arts, you require at least knowing how to fight with and against many fighting styles, since you will soon return to your classes to learn you will be all you can here, then I will give you some books to read and memorize the techniques, and when you return I will evaluate your progress," Mordo said without losing the seriousness of his face, so Alex nodded in agreement with him.

"Well, we will start with the first style of combat, Muay Thai, get ready!"

"Yes, Master!" Alex did not plan to be a bad disciple in Kamar-Taj, so he would do his best to learn everything, although he did not know if there was someone who could match him in strength out there, it was better to be prepared.

And so time went by…

Alex was no longer in Kamar-Taj, he was now in the Exodus Infinity building on one of the empty floors that he had designated for his training.

He had placed mats on the floor, covering it completely, he also had several sandbags, training dummies, and complete gym equipment. This floor was now the closest thing there was to a Gym / Dojo.

Only he wouldn't use things like the treadmill and weights, he doesn't need them after all.

It was already a week since he had left Kamar-taj because he had to go back to work, just as he also had to go back to school.

He had received several books on many fighting styles from Master Mordo, which would normally take several months to read, but all of this was nothing more than one night for Alex. He already knew everything about each martial art, now he only had to learn to do everything correctly and learn to apply everything in combat.

But at this moment Alex was not practicing martial arts, but he was with two short whips made of energy coming out of his hands.

This was the "magic" part of the training, which was given to her by the Ancient One herself. She had been very surprised by Alex's ability to start mastering the whips, usually, this would bring a lot of mental fatigue when training, but for Alex, it didn't seem to matter.

Perhaps it was because Alex was always in contact with sunlight, so he would never tire, plus his mental and physical fatigue was also restored by this.

For Alex to be able to fully master the whips, he had to be able to move and adjust them to his will, so he had set the goal that when he was able to hold a crystal glass without breaking it, his training would be complete.

* Sounds of glass breaking *

Sure, that's easier said than done ...

"Shit ..." Alex sighed as the whips disappeared from his hands, then took a new crystal glass and placed it back on a table in front of him.

The floor was covered with a large amount of tarp to prevent the remaining glass shards from embedding into the ground.

Alex was about to bring up the whips again but was interrupted by the sound of the elevator door opening.

"Alex, I bring news"

This voice was Sue's, who was in her now trademark businesswoman attire.

Sue approached Alex, but she stopped near him when she noticed a large amount of broken glass on a white canvas.

"Is it what we're talking about?" Alex looked at Sue, she nodded with a smile on her face.

"The expansion you proposed will take a while but it is possible, many permits are required to allow us to build new buildings in the foreign territory" Sue could not help but sigh with fatigue, but the smile on her face did not disappear.

The excitement of being able to expand throughout the world was incredible.

"It won't be very big buildings anyway, we just need space to be able to install our servers," Alex said to Sue, who nodded.

She already knew this, but even if Alex said they didn't need a lot of space, that meant they would need at least 4-6 stories in the new buildings.

This was one of the most anticipated moments for Alex, as the construction of new servers in different parts of the world, meaning more people playing League of Legends, which in turn meant more money in his pocket.

But this also meant one thing, you had to hire more voice actors, in addition to having to translate the game into different languages, since at this time it is only available in English.

"As you asked me, I managed to get in touch with South Korea, the negotiations were a bit difficult, but surprisingly thanks to my fame as a heroine things were easy, so now we have the deeds of a space in the center of Seoul" Sue was happy, she didn't know why Alex had chosen South Korea to be the first place where they would build a new headquarters, but she wasn't complaining.

She even she was excited since in a while they would have to travel to Korea, to follow the construction closely.

After the construction of the new building was completed, she would hire new staff to take care of hanging things up over there.

"I guess I'll go oversee the construction, she sadly didn't trust Johnny for this ..." Sue said something embarrassed, she knew that if Johnny was sent, she was likely to have slack in Korea.

"Don't worry, I'll always visit you when I leave school, I can come and go in a few minutes" Alex said simply, Sue couldn't help but sigh a little relieved, after all, she wouldn't have to be alone in a foreign country.

"I think we should learn to speak Korean or get ourselves an interpreter." Sue, put a hand on her chin as a sign of thinking. She was not the kind of girl who lunged without knowing anything. At the very least she had to learn to read Korean.

"I'm already ahead," Alex said in fluent Korean, memorizing new languages ​​was not difficult for him.

Sue was left with a stick face, she did not understand a word of what Alex said.

"What did you say?" Sue couldn't help asking.

"I said I was going to go ahead," Alex spoke again in English.

"You speak Korean?" Sue was surprised, she didn't know when Alex learned to speak Korean.

"Not only Korean, but also Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Taiwanese, French, German, among others that are not so widely used, and also a couple of dead languages" Alex counted with his fingers pointing to the number of languages Who knew, having a supercomputer for a brain had its advantages.

"..."

Sue stared at Alex with wide eyes, jealousy welling up in her heart due to Alex's absurd intelligence.

"Why did you learn to speak so many languages?" Sue asked with an unhappy face, she was jealous of Alex.

"I decided it would be the best because I wanted to expand to other countries, so the language barrier would not be a problem" Alex shrugged, maybe in his old life being able to speak so many languages ​​would have excited him, but he knows that there is a universal translator used by intelligent species out there in outer space. A bitter feeling welled up in his heart because if he had a universal translator he would save himself a lot of trouble.

And if he got one for everyone on his team it would be so much better.

But Alex did not go out into space since he did not know how to orient himself, and Ahri needs the satellites on earth to guide him.

So he just had to wait, or try to invent one himself, although he wasn't sure how a universal translator worked.

*Sigh*

Sue sighed in defeat since she knew it didn't matter the fact that Alex already spoke multiple languages, the problem is that she didn't speak any more languages ​​besides a little French that she learned in her high school days.

"I must learn to speak too, it is useless that I can only communicate when you are with me."

Alex nodded in agreement with Sue, but he knew that Sue would learn very quickly since she was also an outstanding scientist.

"If you want I can teach you" Alex offered, he had memorized a complete book on how to speak Korean, as well as a Korean dictionary, and many other things. Right now there was no better teacher than him.

"Seriously?" Sue asked excited and happy.

"Sure," Alex said simply, it was easy for him to teach her. It would also be a good way to rest after his training.

"Do you think I can speak fluently before I have to go to Korea?" Sue asked hopefully, if she could communicate fluently it would be the most ideal, and with Alex teaching her it wouldn't be that difficult.

"That will depend on you, but do not worry, even when you are in Korea I can continue teaching you" Alex smiled at him, learning a new language was something that took some time, only Alex is an exception to every rule.

"Well, we will start from today, the construction was authorized to start in a month," Sue said determined as she gave Alex a serious look, this would be a small goal for her.

Alex nodded smoothly, and Sue left with a smile on her face.

Alex went back to training him, but he again broke the glass.

In the blink of an eye, he passed the 3 weeks, and without anyone noticing, the first days of February had already arrived.

Alex was meeting Felicia, Sue, Johnny, and Benjamin at the airport, Benjamin came when he found out what Johnny and Sue would do. But he would soon return to Kamar-Taj to continue his training. Ancient One loaned him an artifact that would change his appearance temporarily.

Johnny decided that he would accompany his sister on this journey for a time in Korea, although everyone knew that he would not leave Sue alone, they also knew that Johnny would use this time in Korea as if he were a tourist.

Both were with their suitcases ready and with their civilian clothes on, Sue had a pink blouse, along with light blue jeans that were tight to her body, which made her goddess figure not will hide for nothing

.

Johnny instead put on a white sleeveless shirt, along with tight blue jeans, and on top of the shirt, he had a black leather jacket with a red line that went from the sleeves to the back, in addition to that also He was wearing black motorcycle glasses.

"Can they take care of the building while we are gone?" Sue asked Alex and Felicia, they both nodded without a doubt, even though they were both minors still, they were fully capable of taking care of the Exodus Infinity building themselves.

"Don't worry Sue, your home will be fine when you return, right now just focus on our first branch outside America meeting our conditions" Seeing the seriousness in Alex's voice, Sue couldn't help but nod.

Since Ahri came into everyone's life, her workload had been reduced more and more until today 90% of all of it has been removed, Ahri was able to do almost all the paperwork, as well as the accounts and finances, and everything was perfect without any mistakes.

But Sue's salary had not decreased even a little, because the company's profits are only increasing, and since the main team of Exodus Infinity was not many, Alex decided that they would all have a salary of $ 20,000 per month. . He had even thought of increasing it since thanks to his shares bought in Stark Industries they had only been multiplying its value, they did not need money.

But they all refused, since the money they were earning at this time was enough to live comfortably.

Sue had felt a little uncomfortable when she no longer had to work so much because she felt that she was doing nothing and earning a lot of money, that she did not even know what to spend on.

So having this new responsibility made her feel renewed, and she would have something new to put all of her efforts into.

Sue quickly approached Alex and Felicia and hugged them both, she did not shed any tears since they would always be in contact, plus she most likely saw Alex daily.

Sue's Korean was still not very good despite her having put all her effort into learning it, but she was already able to read many things in Korean, as well as say a few words.

After Sue parted ways with Alex and Felicia, Johnny reached over and shook hands with both of them with a great greeting.

"Don't you dare do anything in my room, you have the rest of the building in case you want to do your nasty stuff" Johnny said at first with a serious look, and then it turned into a suggestive look for Alex and Felicia.

"Filthy?" Alex did not understand at first what Johnny meant by that, he had never done anything out of the ordinary in the building, he considered himself a very neat person since he did not even tolerate disorder. But after thinking a bit he understood what he meant, and he gave Johnny a look that said "We're only 16".

Felicia turned tomato red when she heard what Johnny said, she knew very well what kind of filthy Johnny was referring to, and in her mind, she couldn't help but have the thought that she and Alex would spend a lot of time together ... alone ... for hours in his office.

Alex didn't notice Felicia's reaction, as Johnny just gave both of them a mischievous smile and went along with Sue, to have a little chat with Benjamin.

They both decided it was better if the 3 of them had time to talk for a while alone before not seeing each other for a while, so Alex and Felicia decided to go sit in the waiting area.

Felicia and Alex walked to a group of chairs made of shiny metal connected, made for people to sit.

They both sat next to each other since that New Years' night they had both become closer than before.

But Alex was not sure how he should proceed to take another step in the relationship, since despite living a new life, he had never had experience with girls beyond friendship.

He preferred to wait for the right moment, with the right atmosphere, only for it to become a valid moment to remember sweetly and warmly over the years.

He didn't want to just come to work or school and say to Felicia: "I like you, Felicia, would you like to go out with me?" These words said at the wrong time would not give the impression he expected.

Alex knew this was silly, but for him, he would like it to be a nice moment to remember for both of them.

But suddenly an idea occurred to him.

"Hey Felicia," Alex said.

"Yes, Alex?" Felicia asked in response.

"I just realized that I have never asked you when is your birthday"

Felicia was surprised by what Alex said since she realized that they had never asked the day of his birth.

"My birthday is June 17," Felicia said with a smile and then asked, "And when is yours?"

Alex never had a birthday as such, so his parents decided that her birthday would be the day Alex was dropped off at their doorstep.

Neither of them had told Alex about his "adopted" status but Alex knew that they were both afraid of his reaction. But being honest he didn't care, he loved his parents very much and they loved him.

"My birthday is April 15," Alex said causing Felicia to be surprised.

Alex's birthday was very close, there were only two months left counting February which was the month in which they were.

She decided that she would give Alex a birthday that she could remember.

Before he could continue speaking, Benjamin approached them, thanks to Ancient One Benjamin was given a magic necklace that temporarily camouflaged his appearance, making him appear human again.

"Sue and Johnny already got on the plane," Benjamin said as he watched through a huge airport window as Sue and Johnny's plane took off.

"It only remains to wait for them to reach their destination" Alex stood up, Felicia imitated him, and together Benjamin decided that they should go.

As they walked out of the airport premises, Alex couldn't help asking.

"How is your training with the mystical arts going?" She gave Benjamin a curious look.

Before asking this question, Alex made sure that there was no one other than them around.

They entered a lonely alley, and Benjamin removed a strange necklace from his neck, his appearance returned to what it was normally.

A somewhat excited smile appeared on Benjamin's face, he placed his right hand right in front of Alex and Felicia, closed his eyes for a few moments, and then the rocks that covered his hand turned to dust that melted into nothingness.

At the surprised sight of Alex and Felicia, Benjamin's hand was human again, even Alex took Benjamin's hand to feel only flesh and blood and no rocks.

"Right now it is the best I can do, but it makes me feel very happy, at this rate I will be able to be human again, and the teacher also told me that I will be able to control everything at will, so I will not lose my powers" The voice Benjamin sounded happy and hopeful.

Alex could not hide the smile from him, he knows that Benjamin is one of the most affected by his appearance since even his former fiancée abandoned him when she saw him.

A few seconds later the rocks reappeared in Benjamin's hand. There's still a long way to go

"Will you immediately go to Kamar taj?" Alex looked at Benjamin, and he just nodded.

"Someone should come to pick me up soon." And as if he had been summoned, a portal opened in space, revealing Master Mordo.

"It's time to go back Benjamin," He said to Benjamin as he looked at him, then turned his head towards Alex: "You better keep training Alex, remember that your ability will be evaluated when you return to Kamar Taj"

Benjamin said goodbye to Alex and Felicia, then went through the portal and left with Master Mordo.

Felicia and Alex were alone again.

"That was your teacher?" Felicia asked curiously.

"That's right, he's strict but he's a good person," Alex said simply as he and Felicia walked out of the alley.

"Do you think I can learn mystical arts like you and Benjamin? That portal thing looks great" Felicia asked Alex hopefully.

"I do not see why not, in Kamar taj everyone can learn, but in the end, everything depends on your talent" There is nothing wrong with what Felicia asks, she will only tell Ancient One and everything is resolved.

In a short time Alex and Felicia were lost from sight in the streets of New York, this time they decided to take the panoramic route.

Time did not stop and Alex's life continued without any inconvenience.

In no time, March arrived.

During this time Alex's routine became varied, he flew to Korea in his spare time of the day and continued to teach Sue Korean for 2 hours before returning home, he continued to train his combat technique and completely mastered energy manipulation. So he was sure that when he returned to Kamar taj they would give him the status of teacher.

Felicia decided to join Alex in training her, she liked to train his body, in addition to practicing fighting with Alex. Alex was holding back from her so as not to hurt her, but having a fight partner was a very good thing. Felicia had also chosen to practice mixed martial arts.

But the most important thing about this time is that Alex began to practice with his "other energy" that was within him. And the results were something curious.

Alex discovered that he could project this energy out of his body and cover objects and people, doing this gave him the ability to move things with his thought, it was a kind of telekinesis that was quite useful.

And in less important news, in February the day after Sue and Johnny left for Korea, Tony Stark was attacked during a car race by a crazy Russian with energy whips.

This indicated that they were currently in the plot of Iron man 2, which meant that Tony would also run into the problems that come with his palladium ARC reactor. Currently, things were calm, so Tony should be desperate for a cure for his poisoning, so it was the best time for Fury to act and deliver Howard Stark's notes to Tony. And it's been a few days after that according to Alex's calculations.

Everything was going according to how Alex remembered.

At this moment Alex and Felicia are in the training area of ​​the building.

Alex was dressed in a white sleeveless shirt, along with shorts, and was barefoot.

Felicia was wearing a black sleeveless shirt, along with black spandex, and she had her hair in a ponytail, and she was barefoot too.

They were both wearing padded gloves to avoid getting hurt as they were in a practice fight.

This had become commonplace for them, whenever they came home from school, worked until 7 pm, and then practiced and trained until 9 pm. After that Alex took Felicia to her house and then he went to his. That Alex brought Felicia to her house is mainly because she says that flying is much better than riding in a car.

Ahri was in charge of guarding the building and reporting any abnormalities. There were also the 3 janitors who cleaned the building. Since they were common workers, Alex paid them a normal wage of $ 25 an hour.

Returning to Alex and Felicia.

Alex stopped with his arm a high kick from Felicia that was directed towards his face, seeing that Alex stopped the kick from her Felicia stepped back and was on guard.

Felicia dodged a forehand from Alex, but she didn't expect Alex to lower his center of gravity and then use a sweep with the back of her left leg to knock her to the ground.

Without giving her time to react, Alex used her strength to do a backflip, to give Felicia a downward kick. Seeing this, Felicia quickly turned to the right and managed to stand, avoiding Alex's foot that hit where she was just now.

Seeing his attack miss, Alex stood up quickly using the force of his hands as an impulse. Alex fell on his feet and was on guard as well.

"You like martial arts movies, right?" Felicia couldn't help asking without daring to let her guard down.

"Sure" Alex would not lie, he knows that somersault was not necessary, but no one would tell him how to fight, he had always wanted to fight in this movie-like way.

"You just take advantage of the fact that I'm still not capable of doing those things like you ..." Felicia couldn't help but say.

"Someday you will ... besides, you know it looks cool," Alex said simply as he shrugged.

Felicia rolled her eyes, but in the next moment, she took advantage of the fact that Alex had let his guard down. She ran towards him, using the strength of his legs to jump until her legs were level with Alex's neck and she closed them around him. She then tried to use her strength to bring Alex to the ground with this key, but Alex did not move ...

"You said you wouldn't use your super strength!" Felicia pouted seeing that Alex didn't fall to the ground. She had already imagined subjecting Alex with a lock to her arm.

"You must never trust your enemy Felicia," Alex said as if he were a wise old teacher.

"I know that." Felicia couldn't help but roll her eyes. And she jumped off Alex's neck. She used her hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and she noticed that Alex didn't even have a drop of sweat on him… like always.

"Someday I'll get you to sweat, one way or another" Felicia told Alex with a very determined look on her face.

A weak smile appeared on Alex's face, it was not the first time that Felicia made this statement to him.

"If you say so ..." Alex had a smirk as he watched as Felicia made her way to her private bathroom.

Even though Alex wasn't sweaty, that doesn't mean he wouldn't bathe. Bathing after a workout is always a pleasure.

Alex took his towel and went to his private bathroom as well.

Felicia's private room is a spare room that no one used before, so it was only used as a guest room.

Alex's private room was Reed Richards' old room ... at first, it was a bit uncomfortable, but everything normalized with time.

And the room would only collect dust anyway if Alex didn't use it for him.

Alex's room had a double bed in the middle of the room, a television in front of the bed, a cabinet to store his clothes, as well as a closet. There was also the fact that he had a great view of the city since one of the walls found the way out of him. on one side of the building. So the wall was made of tempered glass to avoid accidents.

This room was much bigger than his room at his house, but at the moment he wasn't interested in sleeping here.

Alex took off his clothes and went into the bathroom, got into the shower, and let the hot water run through his body, currently, in New York City it was still cold, even though Alex was not affected by this, he did not know I would bathe in cold water for pleasure.

As Alex felt the hot water running down his head and his body, he thought he was ready to face the test to become a master of mystical arts.

For anyone else who would hear that Alex had learned to use a lot of different martial arts to perfection, they would not believe him ... but Alex knew that this was all due to his blood, genes ran in his veins to be considered a warrior of the elite on the planet Krypton, so his ability to fight was innate, mastering all martial arts was only a matter of time.

"It is decided, tomorrow I will become a master of the mystical arts" These words stayed in Alex's mind and no words came out of his mouth. He decided to continue bathing.

Meanwhile with Felicia ...

Felicia was naked in the bathroom exposing her goddess body, but she was not bathing yet, in fact, she had her phone in her hand.

"Ahri, did you get what I asked for?" Felicia asked Ahri over her phone.

"Of course, I have some good stress relief material today," Ahri said as a live video began to play on Felicia's phone. The funny thing is that the protagonist of the video was none other than Alex, who was bathing, exposing his naked body.

"You are a great friend Ahri," Felicia said with a perverted smile on her face, and a huge blush on her face. She knew what she was doing was wrong, but sometimes the call of hormones is stronger than common sense. And it didn't help the fact that Felicia was at an age where the hormones were so strong, and they got so much stronger when she was with Alex.

"Yeah yeah, if what you say, be quiet, I want to enjoy the show too" Ahri made Felicia silent, she wouldn't let her enjoy one of her favorite activities.

Unknown to Alex, his creation has developed in a direction that sticks to his original character too well… Ahri developed a very strong interest in Alex's body, and it is not the first time that she has done this.

Alex continued to bathe like nothing, not knowing that he was being watched by a perverted virtual fox woman and an equally perverted cat.

Time after…

Alex was on his feet, dressed again in his Kamar taj clothes. Ancient one along with Mordo was in front of him.

His location was one of Kamar taj's training grounds, this is where Alex's test would take place.

His test would consist of two parts, the first is hand-to-hand combat with Master Mordo without using powers, just pure strength and combat ability.

The second part would be a one versus one match against Ancient one, where both would use the mystical arts in a duel, Alex would pass the test only with Ancient one seeing that he was ready.

Mordo motioned for Alex to follow him into the combat area and stand in front of him.

"The rules are simple, the combat does not end until one party surrenders or cannot continue, any fighting style can be used and the use of powers is prohibited, understood?" Mordo was on guard.

Alex nodded as he, too, was on guard. Only his posture was different from Master Mordo's.

Alex would use Muay Thai to start, and Master Mordowould use karate.

"Begin!" Ancient One Indic with a wave of his hand, this time he would take on the role of referee.

End here.

The next chapter will have a lot of action, wait for it.
