Amora approached with a graceful stride, her emerald eyes sparkling with mischief.
Aaron, sensing her presence, slowly opened his eyes from meditation.
"So, she's finally here."
Before him stood the legendary Enchantress.
She was a vision—clad in a long emerald dress that hugged her curves, golden waves of hair cascading down her shoulders, and lips painted the perfect shade of red.
Everything about her screamed temptation.
Her beauty alone was enough to leave most men breathless, but paired with her unparalleled mastery of mind magic, she was outright dangerous.
Few could resist her allure.
Aaron, however, was not most men.
Still, he remained cautious.
Amora's Playful Approach
Amora brushed a strand of golden hair behind her ear and smiled knowingly.
"Little genius, do you know who I am?"
Her voice was like honey, smooth and hypnotic.
"I'm the spiritual magic instructor at the academy. As a former student of Irene, shouldn't you show some respect? Calling your teacher by her name isn't very appropriate, don't you think?"
She took a step closer, her scent intoxicating.
"But because you are such a handsome little genius, I'll make an exception."
"You may call me Teacher Amora."
She giggled, her fingers playfully tracing the air.
"See? I'm already being good to you. Far better than Irene."
Amora pouted slightly, tilting her head.
"She's a stubborn old relic at the academy, you know?"
"Not like me. I'm beautiful, approachable, and willing to teach you everything."
Aaron remained silent, carefully observing her behavior.
To his surprise, she hadn't activated any charm magic yet.
Strange.
He expected her to try controlling him immediately, but instead, she was taking the slow and seductive route.
Amora wasn't rushing.
She was testing the waters.
And so was Aaron.
A plan started forming in his mind.
Testing the Waters
He decided to prod her a little.
"Irene already gave me three spells."
At this, a flicker of irritation flashed across Amora's face.
Just for a moment.
Then, she quickly composed herself, her smile unwavering.
"Three spells? That's all?"
She let out a soft chuckle.
"Aaron, Irene is holding you back. Can't you see that?"
"She's afraid of your potential—afraid you'll surpass her."
"That's why she's limiting what you can learn."
Amora leaned in, her voice a sultry whisper.
"If I were your mentor, I would teach you everything."
Aaron could sense what she was doing.
She was trying to create a rift between him and Irene, pushing him toward her side.
Classic manipulation.
But two could play this game.
Aaron wanted something from her too.
He wasn't particularly interested in her charm magic, but if he could get Psychokinesis from her…
That would be a different story.
After all, the Mind Stone itself was one of the six Infinity Stones.
The potential of psychic abilities was limitless.
If he could gain even a fraction of that power, it would be invaluable.
Now, the real challenge—
Could he bait Amora into teaching him?
The Enchantress Takes the Bait
Amora, despite her confidence, could sense that Aaron was not falling for her usual tactics.
He wasn't just some naive boy who would melt under her gaze.
He was calculating something.
This made her even more determined to win him over.
If she couldn't charm him immediately, she would have to tempt him with something irresistible.
That's when an idea struck her.
She smirked.
"Oh? You want magic? Fine."
"Irene may have taught you a few simple spells, but what if I taught you something even she doesn't know?"
Aaron's expression remained neutral, but inside, he felt a rush of satisfaction.
Hook, line, and sinker.
"Today, I'll teach you a rare magic—Psychokinesis."
Amora's tone was confident, almost bragging.
"This magic allows you to control objects with your mind. At first, it's just small movements, but as you master it, you can use it for telekinesis, long-range attacks, and even flight."
As she spoke, Amora gracefully lifted her arms.
An invisible force surrounded her, and suddenly, she began floating.
Her long emerald dress billowed around her, making her look even more mystical.
Aaron tilted his head.
"Flight?"
He had seen Loki use something similar—floating mid-air for dramatic effect—but true flight?
That was debatable.
This ability, though seemingly simple, had massive potential.
But only in the right hands.
For Amora and Loki, it was just a flashy trick.
For Aaron, however, it could be so much more.
"This is perfect."
If he could learn Psychokinesis, he could later refine it, develop it, and maybe even take it to a whole new level.
And so, with an innocent and slightly impressed look, Aaron nodded.
"That's… interesting."
Amora's eyes lit up.
Got him.
Psychokinesis Training Begins
"Good!"
"Now, pay attention."
Amora extended her hand toward a nearby book.
The book trembled for a moment before slowly lifting off the ground.
"See? The key is to focus your will on the object."
"You need to feel it, as if it's an extension of your own body."
Aaron mimicked her movements.
At first, the book didn't move.
But after concentrating—really pushing his will toward it—
It twitched slightly.
Amora clapped her hands together.
"Not bad for a first try!"
"With practice, you'll be able to move heavier objects, attack from a distance, and—"
She leaned in with a smirk.
"Who knows? Maybe even stop someone's heart with a single thought."
Aaron smiled politely, but inside, he was already thinking ahead.
He had successfully extracted exactly what he wanted from her.
Now, all he had to do was refine it—make it stronger.
And as for Amora?
He had a feeling she wasn't done trying to manipulate him yet.
But that was fine.
Because if there was one thing Aaron knew, it was that he would never be someone's puppet.
The Battle of Wits Continues
Amora crossed her arms, watching him closely.
She could sense it now—Aaron was different.
Most men were already under her spell by now.
But Aaron?
He was resisting.
She licked her lips.
"This just got a whole lot more interesting."
A challenge.
And Amora loved challenges.
With a teasing wink, she spoke:
"Little genius…"
"Let's see just how powerful you can become."
