Chapter 74 Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch

The sudden sound startled the two of them, and the little boy almost dropped the cake in his hand.

"Be careful, if you drop it you won't be able to eat it." Richard reached out to catch the cake and said to the two of them.

"Who are you?" The little boy protected the little girl behind him and looked at Richard with a vigilant look.

"I'm Richard. What are your names?" Richard looked at the two children. The little boy quietly held the little girl's hand and kept looking around, as if looking for an ambush.

"Don't worry, I mean no harm. There's no one outside." Richard handed the cake in his hand to the two of them.

The two did not relax their vigilance, nor did they reach out to take the cake. After seeing Richard move aside, a trace of time power immediately appeared on the little boy's body and enveloped the two. The next second, the two people activated time acceleration and were about to flee the room.

But at this moment, a ray of spiritual light swept across them instantly, and the power of time that enveloped them quickly dissipated.

——【Remove the magic! 】

The moment Richard sensed the power of time, he immediately released the magic to dispel it. The little boy's time acceleration was not even activated and was dispelled. The two of them had just run a few steps when they discovered something strange.

"What happened? Why did my superpowers fail?" The sudden failure of his superpowers made the little boy panicked and he became at a loss for a moment.

"Your superpowers are not failing." Richard said with a smile, "It's just that I have temporarily sealed it."

Richard snapped his fingers and a fireball appeared in his hand. The bright fireball and the rolling heat waves made the air seem to rise by dozens of degrees.

After seeing the fireball in Richard's hand, the two were shocked. Shenqing was very afraid, but there was still a hint of desire in his eyes.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Richard canceled the spell, then squatted down and said to them, "Do you like magic? Do you want to learn it?"

"Are you really willing to teach us magic?" The little girl who had been silent suddenly spoke.

Richard smiled and said, "Of course, you two are very talented."

"By the way, you haven't told me your names yet."

"My name is Wanda and he is my brother Pietro."

Hearing the two names, Richard thought to himself that it was indeed them.

"Is anyone trying to catch you?"

"Yes, they wanted to capture us for research. Fortunately, I gained super powers and was able to escape with my sister." Pietro said.

"Don't worry, I will help you deal with them." Richard said with a smile: "Today should be your birthday, so I will treat you to a big meal."

When they heard about having a big meal, the two little guys' eyes lit up immediately.

Richard took the two to a restaurant and ordered their favorite food to celebrate their birthday. While eating, Richard also asked about their situation. There was a war in their homeland last year. Unfortunately, they lost all their relatives in the war.

They saw with their own eyes that a bomb with Stark Industries' logo on it killed their parents, which was extremely cruel for a pair of ten-year-old children.

After losing their parents, the two could only struggle to survive in the ruins, and at this time, those people found them and took them back to America. At first, the two thought they had met kind people, but soon found out that they were looking for a large number of children for human experiments.

Some children couldn't bear it and died directly. After this stimulation, Pietro awakened his superpowers and secretly escaped with his sister.

……

"Is this magic?" The two were very surprised to see the space-time change in the blink of an eye in the teleportation array of the Mage Tower. They were even more stunned when they learned that they had crossed thousands of kilometers in just a moment.

After arriving at the Mage Tower, the two were very curious about this place. Richard soon took them to meet the others. Evelyn was very happy to see two more friends. She finally didn't have to worry about the pile of formulas alone every day. Well, now there were three people worrying about it together.

As for Pietro and Wanda, Richard naturally planned to teach them magic. These two little guys were very talented. Pietro had awakened his talent for the power of time and could use time acceleration, while Wanda was the future Scarlet Witch, who was born with chaos magic and could cast some chaos magic without even learning.

Richard asked the two to sign the contract before he began to teach them magic. But when Richard started teaching them, he found that the two were also having some difficulty learning magic.

After all, the two of them had not been to school because of the war, and they didn't even know many words, so they could only be taught magic knowledge while letting them go to school to learn various knowledge.

On the second floor of the Mage Tower, in the classroom.

Pietro was wearing his school uniform, looking at the book in his hand with a bitter face, while Evelyn and Wanda beside him also frowned, obviously having a hard time reading.

The three of them either stood up to drink water, or bent down to pick up pencils, or looked at the flower pots next to them, but they didn't focus on the books.

"It's too difficult!" Pietro's eyes were dizzy and he exuded a feeling of dejection.

All three of them learned 0-ring tricks, except that Pietro and Wanda learned [Hand of the Mage], while Evelyn learned [Grease].

"Why is magic so difficult!" Pietro said with a sad face.

A book called "Hand of a Mage" has more than twenty pages of content, including various spellcasting techniques and spell models. He read it for three whole days and still didn't memorize even half of it.

"Why aren't these spells like [Time Acceleration], which I can cast whenever I want!"

“I felt like they were deliberately trying to make things difficult for me.”

"The arcana will not deceive, but it will insult." Richard's voice suddenly appeared.

"Teacher, you are here. These spells are too difficult. Is there any simpler method?" Pietro looked up immediately when he heard the voice.

Richard shook his head and said, "Yes."

"What method?" Hearing this, Pietro instantly became alert and asked, while Evelyn and Wanda behind him were also listening attentively.

"Use the wishing spell to summon the elemental giants to make a wish and increase your wisdom. As long as your wisdom reaches 20 points, you can easily learn not only these simple tricks but also legendary spells." Richard said with a smile.

"Wishing spell? Can I make any wish?" Evelyn asked.

"No, it has a strict wish-making procedure that cannot be changed at will. Once a problem occurs, the result will be unpredictable."

"Then how can I make a wish?"

"First, you must successfully cast this spell. Warm reminder, it is a seven-ring spell."

"Oh my God!" Pietro looked desperate.

"Okay, study hard. When you have learned enough, I will reward you." Richard said with a smile.

"What reward?" several people asked.

"Including storage rings, staffs, cloaks, flying props, etc." After hearing these things, the three of them immediately became excited and buried their heads in studying again.

Richard smiled slightly when he saw this. The three of them had good aptitude and their IQ should be above 16. As long as they laid a good foundation, they would learn much faster in the future.
