MARVEL: GAME MAKER SYSTEM

Chapter 164: 164 - Alex's Slip-up

Hearing from Alex that they would have to take her body from reality to an isolated place caused Jean to start hyperventilating and become scared.

"Calm down Jean, it's okay, it's going to be okay, I have magic that will be able to handle this." Alex said in a calm voice as he placed his hand on her shoulder.

Feeling Alex's hand, even though it was a NightElf in front of her at this moment, Jean felt much calmer since she knew that Alex was very powerful.

"But if you're so confident, why do I have to go to a secluded place?" She asked a question she had.

"This is just in case, don't worry." Alex responded with as much calm as he could muster.

Seeing that Alex was calm, Jean was finally able to calm down. She didn't know what was going on and why Alex was so worried all of a sudden, but Jean decided to trust Alex and calmed down a little.

"Alright guys, stay with her and calm her down as much as possible, I'm going back to the real world." Alex said as he looked at the group, earning a serious nod from everyone there. "Jean, just hold on a little longer and don't learn this Skill yet, when the time is right I'll enter ESW again and let you know the right time to learn this, ok?"

"Why can't I disconnect from the game?" Jean asked a little uncertainly.

Alex just shook his head. "When the queue bar finally fills, the game will let you learn the Skill when you click confirm, or when you exit the game, either way the Skill information is already in your brain, it's just in a sealed state ."

Hearing Alex's explanation, Jean, Scott and Kurt were shocked and nodded their heads.

Jean because she was scared for her own life and couldn't think of anything else.

Kurt because he didn't care much about those details.

And Scott because the life of the woman he liked was in danger, and despite being the most rational of the group, he still couldn't think rationally when listening to Alex's explanation.

But Anna and Kitty were surprised at how Alex knew so much about the game, from what they knew, that kind of information wasn't something an average Player should know, right?

Alex didn't even notice his mistake in revealing more information than he should have, and just made a mental command for Oasis to correct this for the next people in the game queue, not letting the information be sent to the Player's brain until he confirmed, even if it took longer to transfer.

"So I'm going out guys, I'll see you again when the time is right." Alex said as he logged out of the game.

Looking at Alex's disappearing body, Anna and Kitty stared at each other, surprised that they both noticed Alex's slip-up.

But since there was now a higher priority, they just ignored it and focused on staying with Jean and comforting her.

As for Alex, in the real world, when he disconnected from ESW he found himself surrounded by Charles and Ororo.

"Everything is ready?" Alex asked.

Charles nodded. "Yes, Logan has already prepared the jet, now we just have to get Jean to the jet and go."

"Can I get her now?" Ororo asked a little uncertainly, worried about doing something that would put Jean in danger.

Alex just nodded as he responded. "Don't worry, since she already knows what will happen, moving her body here won't cause her to disconnect there, so we're safe."

Relieved, Ororo picked Jean up and headed towards the elevator that they would use to get to the underground Hangar.

Looking at the large fighter jet they had, Alex was surprised as he looked around.

The appearance of this jet actually reminded Alex of Megatron, so for a few seconds he was worried that the leader of the Decepticons was hiding as the X-Men's jet, but without seeing any symbols of their group, Alex was less worried as he entered the jet.

"Where are we going to take her?" Alex asked.

"There is an island near here, where we have fought a battle against Magneto's group in the past, this island is deserted so it will be safe to take Jean there." Charles explained, making Alex nod as he sat down next to the seat Ororo placed Jean on.

The explanation he used that he felt fire magic inside Jean was a lie, he just knew about the Phoenix inside her, but now that he actually stopped to analyze Jean, Alex actually felt a huge magical power dormant inside her.

'I think my control over the 4 elements might not be enough to deal with Phoenix...' Alex thought as he remembered the Skills he could buy in the System.

One of the Skills was Natsu's Dragon Slayer Fire Magic, which Alex thought could be quite useful.

"Wait just a second before you take off." Alex said, stopping Logan from getting the ship into the air.

Looking at Alex confused, Logan waited for an answer.

"I can't use the bathroom in the air..." Alex said the first thing he thought of as he exited the jet and went to the Hangar bathroom.

Inside the bathroom, Alex used Kamui to teleport to his house and use the computer to purchase the Fire Dragon Slayer Skill and return with Kamui again, taking only 30 seconds.

When Alex finally boarded the plane again, Logan looked at him a little stressed as he asked. "Now can we go?"

Alex smiled as he nodded and sat back down next to Jean.

He used the flight time to digest the information from the Skill he just learned, despite learning it instantly, Alex still decided to dedicate himself a bit to learning and getting used to the best way to control fire, as he would need it to the battle.

As this magic cost 10x more than Gray Fullbuster's ice control magic, Alex clearly felt how much more powerful this magic was, which surprised him a little.

'Adding this Dragon Slayer magic with my control of the 4 elements and my high mastery in controlling magic circles, the power that this magic can exert in my hand is several times greater than Natsu's!' Alex was excited as he realized this.

But without him realizing it, Jean who was asleep next to him, felt a sudden closeness to him, as if her fire element was very interested in the fire inside Alex.
