As he said that Strange can be the only one to defeat Zealot. He remembers that Ancient One was the one who was the one who trained zealot and can only train strange like that.

At last Ancient One was convinced and agreed to train him. Mordo brought Strange to his room and told that from tomorrow the training will start early in the morning for becoming the Master of the Mystic Art. Before leaving the room, Mordo gave him a sheet of paper as strange as it was a mantra Mordo was joking about as it was written the wifi Password so that he could contact his home.

Training Doctor Strange

Mordo started giving him training early in the morning. At first he gave him a sling ring which helped to open an interdimensional portal.

The Ancient One arrived and asked what problem Strange is facing and gave the example of Harim as who Mordo has trained him to become the master of Mystic art.

They send Strange to mount Everest so that he could open the portal on his own to return. When Mordo returned he saw that Ancient One was using some strange power but instantly stopped it by swaying Mordo and went for kamar-Taj.

Combat Training

When they saw Strange was getting his confidence back Mordo started to train him in hand to hand combat. When Strange asks him why he is following Ancient One he says that as he does not know anything about the past of the ancient one and also does not know about his age thus he is staying loyal to her.
