Marvel DxD: The New Sorcerer Supreme

Following Sylphie outside, I was quickly met with the rest of the Norse Elves surrounding something or more specifically, someone.

Upon our arrival, the Elves noticed her presence and quickly parted to give her way.

However, that's the moment I finally saw who they were surrounding.

"Hey! Didn't I tell you guys? I told you, I'm not here to cause harm! I was just looking for my friend!" It was Serafall, bounded by wooden cuffs while throwing a tantrum like a child.

At the same time as I saw her, the same goes for her.

"Oh! ChamCham! It's me! Serafall. Look, see? I told you I'm here for my friend!" Exactly as her face beamed up while calling my name, everyone's eyes landed on me.

"…I have no idea who she is," I answered while looking away.

"Eh? ChamCham? CHAMCHAM! Uwaahhh!~" Tears welled up in her eyes as she felt the pain of 'betrayal'.

"ChamCham, how could you do this to me? I thought we were friends!?" She cried once more.

Meanwhile, I noticed Sylphie was also staring at me, her eyes telling me that she was confused by the situation.

Giving her an awkward smile, Sylphie sighed and shook her head, fortunately, she seemed to have understood my smile.

"Let her go. She's clean." Sylphie announced, earning doubtful looks not just from the Elves but even from Serafall herself.

"Eh? Really? I'm clean?"

"But Lady Sylphie." One of the Elves wanted to complain however seeing her shaking her head, she decided to zip her mouth.

"Heh? I'm finally free?" Right exactly as she finished her question, the answer came in the form of her wooden cuffs loosening.

"Looks like we'll be having a talk, right ChamCham?" Sylphie turned her attention to me with an amused expression, using the nickname that Serafall just used earlier.

"Hey! Only I can call ChamCham that way! You have no right to call him that!" Once free, Serafall pointed her finger at Sylphie while accusing her.

Sigh, Serafall, you're smarter than this.

"Oh really? Then what's the difference between us on why you can call him as such and I'm not?" Crossing her arms under her bosom, Sylphie looked at Serafall with a provocative smirk plastered on her face.

"It's obvious! I'm ChamCham's one and only best friend and you're not!" She answered with a condescending tone.

"Heh, ~ best friend? So you're just a friend then? Unlike you, I am his teacher, so I believe he has more respect for me than yours." Sylphie replied with an air of superiority surrounding her.

Oh come on, you're the older one here! Why are you playing along with this?

Screaming in my mind, I was tempted to yell at them to stop when suddenly, Serafall grinned and answered something unexpected.

"Oh yeah? Just a teacher? Guess what! ChamCham will soon be my fiancee! So you lose!" As Serafall was basking in victory over her opponent, silence ensued in the vicinity as Sylphie and the other elves stared at Serafall with awkward smiles on their faces.

As for me? How I wish I could just dig in the ground and bury myself there forever.

This is too embarrassing for me.

Where in God's name did the word fiancee come from?

As for Serafall, it took her quite a while to notice the silence around her, and finally realized the gravity of the words she just said.

Unable to bear it anymore, her face became as red as a tomato as she scoured away with a flushed face.

Watching her leave the forest, I sighed in relief. At least she's finally gone for now, whatever happened here, I'll talk to her about it, there's no way she would just say that out of her desire to win the argument, I can smell a conspiracy from it.

"Well well well, now that your 'fiancee' has left, shall we resume our magic lesson? Or should I give you some time for this 'revelation'?" Turning around to face me, I could see a teasing smile on her face as she made fun of me.

"….No need for those, teacher." Gritting my teeth, I resisted the urge to get back at her for such harassment. However, as she is my teacher, I won't be able to do so.

However, that doesn't mean I won't get my revenge on her. Once I finish learning under her, I'll make sure that my revenge will be remembered by her forever.

'This is for the future of humanity.' I muttered to myself as a form of coping.

And so, the elves resumed hunting for their morning breakfast while me and my magic teacher, Sylphie went back to her hut to resume the session.

***

'I can't believe I just said that!' Back at the Underworld, Serafall wasted no time getting on her bed and covering herself under the covers.

Her face was still beet red from the words she uttered earlier.

'I'm too embarrassed to face him now. What would he think of me?' Wanting to go back in time to punch her past self on the head for revealing such a thing, Serafall sighed and finally calmed down.

She remembered the words that her father told her after the Anti-Satan faction meeting.

'No matter what, we'll ensure that Chamber stays in our family. It doesn't matter how, I noticed how Zekram Bael holds that boy in high regard. I don't know what it is but the reason should be important enough.' Was what her father told her during their talk.

'So I plan to engage you to him, Sera. I know you like him and hopefully, he likes you too. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything, you don't have to worry, this is for the sake of our family.' Then came the revelation which shocked not only her but also her mother, Emilea.

However, during that talk, for some reason, she didn't feel any anger towards her father who just forced her into marriage.

In fact, she feels grateful for him.

Her heart kept skipping a beat whenever her thoughts began to wander at herself and ChamCham standing side by side—no longer as best friends but as husband and wife.

Before she knew it, she yawned and fell asleep on her bed.

***

While Serafall had fallen asleep, Sylphie was teaching me a new technique called Mana Field.

Basically, it is a magic technique where the caster would use their mana to form a circular field around them, the larger the radius, the more it consumes mana.

What this does however is similar to expanding one's senses.

Once you cast Mana Field, everything and everyone inside the Mana Field will be felt by the caster, effectively giving them some sort of limited sixth sense.

'It's like forming a domain. Maybe I could expand this Mana Field and improve it.' Eager to test this, thankfully we had break times in order to restore our energies.

Fortunately, my demonic energy recovery is almost ten times faster than average, so instead of resting to recover, I searched for a secluded place around the forest and decided to put my idea to the test.

First, I created my Mana Field or in my case, Demonic Field, and expanded it to 10 meters in radius, enough to cover several trees and grasses.

The next step took me a few trials and errors before finally succeeded.

Right in front of me was a Demonic Bullet, nothing sounds special about it.

Except for the fact that I didn't conjure this on top of my palm or doing gestures, instead, I cast the spell a few meters away from me, far from my figure but still inside the domain of my Demonic Field.

'I can't believe it worked!' I couldn't help but yell excitedly in my mind.

Who wouldn't be? This thing might seem average but when it comes to combat, especially a critical one, being able to cast spells anywhere I like would be very devastating to my opponents.

Just imagine casting the same demonic bullet but instead of my palms, I cast it behind their heads, effectively killing them with ease.

Ho ho ho. There's no way I'm going to let this magic technique slip up. I'll try to continue improving this and who knows, maybe someday in the future, I would be able to cast more than a single spell at the same time.

After testing my new technique for a few more times, I went back to the hut, and Sylphie sensing nothing wrong, resumed the session.

Maybe. Just maybe I could also use this for pranks.

***

Before I knew it, it was already midnight and it was time for me to go back.

"I've never met a student as talented as you. Not even the great mages from Alfheim. You're exceptional, Chamber." Before leaving, Sylphie didn't hesitate to shower me with praises again.

Talent huh?

Of course, I know about my talent. There's a reason why I was deemed as the youngest sorcerer back in Kamar-Taj.

Because before me, it was my former master, Kaecilius who was known as the youngest sorcerer, being able to become a full-fledged sorcerer under Ancient One's guidance within just the age of 28.

As for me, I stole that title after becoming a full-fledged sorcerer at the age of 15.

Now, before you ask a question. Let me clear things up. I started learning sorcery when I was 13. While Kaecilius started learning when he was already 23.

It took me two years to graduate from student, on the other hand, Kaecilius took five years.

You can already tell by this about the gap between the two of us, I'm much more talented than him.

However let's not count the future Sorcerer Supreme, Dr. Strange. I'm not sure how many years or months he studied at Kamar-Taj but all I know is that guy is simply cheating by wielding an ability called Photographic Memory.

If I had such ability, I'm confident I could become a sorcerer in just a year.

"Thank you, Teacher." Thanking her, I bowed my head in respect.

"Good manners, Chamber. Now remember a few things before you go back tomorrow. Since you have already grasped the basics and fundamentals, it is time for you to learn more advanced techniques and ways to use your demonic power. And among them is being able to hide your Demonic Energy."

"Gradually, once you conceal your demonic energy, your devil smell will also start to fade and disappear."

Hearing her words made my eyes gleam in excitement.

So it has finally arrived. The chance to become a novel's hidden boss has finally arrived!

Hidden bosses in novels are sometimes known for two things.

First is an old man that the protagonist accidentally bumps into that turns out to be a long living relic of the past that decided to live a carefree life until death.

Lastly, a being so strong that their energy inside can't be measured by others.

Like there's an endless void of energy situated inside them.
