As Peter was basking in his success on a cold mountain peak, he heard someone clear their throat behind him.
"Ahem..." Turning around, Peter sees the Ancient One smiling at him from the other side of the portal. "Congratulations, Peter. Though we should close the portal. Your fellow students are a bit more susceptible to the cold than you are."
Hearing her say this, Peter looked behind the Sorcerer Supreme and sees everyone keeping their distance from the portal and rubbing their hands together for warmth. Each of them was shaking slightly from the freezing air that made its way through the portal he opened.
"Oh... sorry." Peter says as he leaps back through the portal and tries to close it, but no matter what he did it wouldn't close. "Umm... how do I close it?"
Sighing in exasperation, the Ancient one moves her hands in a circular motion. A spell circle draws itself in front of her and all sorts of runes appear on it. Once it was finished, the spell circle morphed into a dome that encased her, Peter, and his portal inside.
Instantly, the area outside the dome warmed up and the students sighed in relief before returning back to their practice.
"Alright, now that they aren't freezing to death, you can close the portal." The Ancient One says as she motions toward the portal.
"Uhh, can I get a hint?" Peter asked, but the Ancient One merely sat on the floor and began to meditate, ignoring him completely. 'I guess the cold doesn't bother her?'
—————————————— Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.
After a good ten minutes, Peter was able to successfully close the portal. It was actually far easier than he thought. His problem was simply overthinking. Peter thought that he had to move his hand and slowly close it, but all he had to do was think of it disappearing and it would.
"Well, that took you long enough..." The Ancient One says as she stands from her meditative pose, dispelling the dome that protected the other students.
"Yeah, though it would've been faster if you told me how to do it." Peter says as he sees the ice and snow that filled the area.
Luckily, he was very resistant to the cold, which is something he didn't know about his spider powers. Though that doesn't mean he doesn't feel the cold a little. The Ancient One must have something that's protecting her as well because she looked even less affected than he was.
"Magic, in a way, is an advanced science, but it's also a feeling. You will learn faster if you trust that feeling. In a lot of your future training, I won't explain everything and let you learn on your own." The Ancient One explains.
"Yeah, don't overly-rely on the suit to protect me. I get it." Peter nods his head as he puts up his hood. "Damn, the hood was a nice touch."
"Yes, I thought you'd like it." The Ancient One smiles as she watches him make random poses in the mirror. "Now onto what you originally asked for."
Suddenly, The Ancient One takes a smartphone out of her robe, which surprises Peter to no extent.
"You have a smartphone?" He asks with the shock clear in his voice.
"Yeah, did you think I would be some old-fashioned monk that knows nothing of the modern age?" She asks in a challenging tone.
"I mean... Truthfully, yeah. Can I have your phone number?" Peter asks and the Ancient One shakes her head as she takes a picture of Peter with her phone.
"Look at this." She turns the phone to Peter, showing him a picture of the room without him in it at all. "The suit is invisible to all cameras, but you can turn that off and on at will. Think of turning it off."
Peter does as she says and feels a slight vibration run through the suit. As the vibration disappears, The Ancient One takes another picture and shows it to him. This time he was completely visible.
"If you look in the bottom right corner of your right eye, you will see a small camera icon with an on and off icon next to it. The off part of it should be highlighted right now. That's to prevent any confusion." She explains and Peter sees exactly what she said.
"Wow, you really thought of everything." Peter praises her as he turns it back on and sees the icon highlight the on part now.
"When I make a deal, I intend to fulfill it to the utmost extent. The last thing to test is taking the suit off. Just think of the suit disappearing and it will." She explains and Peter does as she says.
Instantly, the Spider-Man suit is replaced by the clothes he was wearing earlier. The suit was nowhere to be seen.
"You've certainly outdone yourself." Peter says as he turns to The Ancient One and bows to her. "Thank you."
He knew that she was as old as dirt and bowing seemed like the best way to show his thanks. The other monks did it earlier when he met her, so he's just following their lead.
"You're very welcome, Peter." She says with a smile as she checks the time. "I'm afraid I have duties to return to, so why don't you head home and return tomorrow morning. It's the weekend so you shouldn't have school, right?"
"Yeah, Sounds good." Peter instantly agrees as the Ancient One turns to leave. "W-Wait! How do I leave here?"
Without saying a word, the Ancient One holds up her hand, showing Peter her Sling Ring as she turns the corner leaving Peter alone in the room.
"Oh, yeah... I forgot about that." Peter mutters as he looks down at his new Sling Ring.
