You can generate money at will — it's not like you're lacking funds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not short on money,\" George shrugged, \"but I am short on people like me. People who don't treat me like a freak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Professor X sighed softly, then reassured him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry. No one here will ever see you as a freak again. In this place, we're all family — and from now on, you'll be one of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Freak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a label almost every mutant had worn at some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what kind of power you had, ordinary people would always see you as something other — something abnormal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of the students who came to the school had run away from home for that very reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A 'freak'… that's just what they call the gifts they envy. Never be ashamed of your abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magneto had just finished comforting his wife and daughter. Hearing their conversation, he walked over with a calm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor X chuckled at his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Erik, we do agree on that much — never be ashamed of one's gifts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My friend, aside from our views on humanity, we've always agreed on almost everything else. Our goal is the same — to make life better for our kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magneto turned to George.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hear your power lets you transform anything. Mind making us a chess set?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of George's hand, a full chessboard appeared before Magneto and Professor X.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Convenient little trick,\" Magneto praised, then immediately warned,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And no reading my mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't need telepathy to beat you,\" Professor X replied, gesturing toward the board. \"Your move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magneto flicked a piece into motion with magnetic force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Consider it a handicap. It's only fair to give you a head start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two lousy amateurs…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George watched them play for a moment, then shook his head and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just two moves ago, they sounded like grandmasters. Two minutes later — hopeless beginners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out, high intelligence didn't guarantee good chess skills. And chess experts weren't necessarily geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And funnily enough, it was always the terrible players who loved playing the most — especially when they found someone equally terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know why I never play with them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mystique, seated nearby, smiled as George came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to crush them. So I just watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, it had been a long time since she'd seen the two of them laugh and enjoy themselves like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time was back in 1962 — training together at Charles' mansion, united against the Black King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, these two men were everything:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the brother who had raised her like family since childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was the mentor — and lover — who helped rebuild her confidence and taught her how to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the two people she loved most in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fair enough,\" George laughed. He hadn't expected that to be the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat beside Quicksilver and noticed him staring at Magneto. With a teasing smile, George asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, when are you going to tell him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… haven't decided yet. I want the timing to be right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quicksilver glanced at Magneto's wife and daughter, hesitation in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's no such thing as the 'right time' for this kind of thing. Just say it — sooner said, sooner faced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…You're right. I'll tell him once we reach the school.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quicksilver made up his mind quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The topic shifted, and George asked about Wanda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's your sister doing these days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's a primary school teacher. She used to dream of becoming a sitcom actress. Her favorite show growing up was The Dick Van Dyke Show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment George showed interest, Quicksilver lit up and began rambling excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But acting means exposure — too much of it. She doesn't want her powers seen again. As a teacher, she's only around kids. Even if something slips, who's going to believe a bunch of kindergarteners? And she loves children…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, while chatting away, the supersonic jet soon landed back at the mutant academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late that night, when everyone had gone to sleep, George quietly slipped into Jean's room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lay on the bed, brows furrowed, clearly trapped in a nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every fluctuation of her emotions, a terrifying force stirred within her — gradually awakening, taking the faint form of a fiery phoenix around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sensing the eruption, she fought it back down with all her willpower — suppressing the power before it could burst free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is the Phoenix Force? As expected — incredible. Let's see if I can drain it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George placed his hand gently on her forehead and activated his Rokukushen Technique at full power — attempting to devour the Phoenix Force inside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But within moments, his brows tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This much resistance… don't tell me…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that at his current level, he couldn't drain all of the Phoenix Force in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His plan had been to do it gradually — a little each night, draining it all over the span of a few months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the reality was far worse than he expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was draining — but at this rate, it would take twenty years to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Way beyond his original plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, no matter how powerful the Phoenix Force was, it shouldn't be this hard to refine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was only a small fragment of the Phoenix Force — limited to a single universe. And his strength far surpassed Jean's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mulled it over until one conclusion became clear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just the Phoenix Force resisting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean herself — unconsciously — was resisting as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the destined host of the Phoenix Force in every universe, any instinctive resistance from her would greatly amplify the Phoenix's rejection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant, if he wanted to speed up the absorption, there were only two options:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One — upgrade his Rokukushen Technique, increasing its devouring power massively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two — open Jean's heart. Make her trust him. Make her stop resisting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll do both.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued devouring through the night. As dawn approached and Jean began to stir, George teleported away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winning Jean's trust wouldn't be hard. He was already a teacher at the school — getting closer would be natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Jean herself didn't want the Phoenix Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for strengthening his Rokukushen Technique — he had an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current strength, taking down the Black Dragon wouldn't be difficult. And that creature's innate ability was to devour all forms of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he killed it and absorbed both the dragon and its core crystal — his devouring power would skyrocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1169,"2026-06-10T06:47:29.308Z",1,"novelbin.me","d7beb06ab0856cd103e9abe9c863eaaab01ebc2b3d81758f9b29cb4039b73cfb","marvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-chapter-741","marvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-chapter-592",918,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-cover.jpg"]
