Part 2

Time passes. Victor takes in any information he can find. They still face prejudice because of their ethnicity. So they are often on the move or in a fight. Werner is gravely wounded. His deathbed plea is a lot like Uncle Ben’s. But it mostly falls on deaf rage filled impatient ears. It’s just Victor and Boris now. The latter gifts him his mother’s tome of magic and challenges Victor to decipher it. Hurrying this along, Victor ends up at Oxford instead of ESU. He forges an identity, school records, and quickly proves his worth through sheer work ethic. He uses the university for their equipment and library access. In return he helps a few academics become wealthy. This all ends the same way as in the comics. He builds some contraption to contact the underworld. It blows up in his face. This sets him on his next path. If you’re wondering, Boris has given him the big speech about being destined for greatness prior to him going to college. Victor thinks that Boris has sought out their tribe.
