I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 131 The descendants of robbers and thieves are not worthy of learning noble magic

In this universe, Christmas Eve 2009 is destined to be a day that will be remembered in history.

The first known magic school in human history was officially completed and began recruiting students from all over the world on the same day.

"All children between eight and twelve years old in the world have the hope of receiving an admission letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry..." Humphrey Appleby stood at the podium of the press conference, greeting the eyes from all over the world with a smile.

"It's just that learning magic is not an easy task. It requires children to have magical talent."

"Sir, Mr. Appleby, what exactly is the magical talent?"

"How do we test this talent?"

"Can you guarantee a fair selection?"

"I still believe that only America can guarantee a fair and public selection!"

Ignoring the two whimpering losers behind him, Appleby smiled and explained, "I'm sorry, but the decision on whether someone has magical talent is entirely up to Mr. Riddle. I believe he will select qualified students."

The meaning is very clear. It is our magicians who are choosing the students, not you who are choosing the teachers or the schools. If you have the ability, go look somewhere else.

As he spoke, Appleby took out a folded letter with a red wax seal on the front. The seal was a badge representing Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Everyone, please look. This is the admission letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Appleby held up the letter and the camera gave a close-up so that audiences around the world could clearly see its appearance.

He opened the letter in front of the whole world, revealing a piece of yellowish parchment with a formatted text but a blank space for the name.

"Dear Mr. (Ms.) XX, we are honored to inform you that you have been admitted as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry..."

Appleby recited the format of the letter with greater passion than he would in a speech at a cabinet meeting.

"If your parents (or guardians) agree to your admission, please sign (or put your fingerprint) in the blank below, and magic will transmit your family's feedback back to the school."

"After signing, this admission invitation letter will serve as a space key. Please hold it tightly. The magic will take you directly to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

After the belief, Appleby focused on announcing the support that Britain provided to the magic school.

"After consultation with Mr. Riddle, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will not charge any fees. Our government will provide free food and accommodation for every student."

This is called rhetoric. It was clearly Tom Riddle's request, but Appleby did not say a single wrong word, giving people the feeling that it was fought for by the British government.

Sure enough, reporters from various countries gave warm applause at the press conference, and the poor family in front of the screen finally had a glimmer of hope.

They had never thought that such a thing would happen to them before, they were just there to watch the fun. Even if they were lucky enough to be selected, they couldn't even afford the travel expenses.

There are so many countries on the earth, not every country has a sound government that will invest in the lower-class people after they show their value. There are also many turbulent countries with no order and only believe in the "man-eat-man" rule.

They will not invest in you, or they will try to snatch your opportunities. If they find that they cannot snatch them, they will even destroy you directly with the dark mentality of "If I don't have it, you won't have it either."

But it's different now.

This magic school seems to have taken all of this into consideration. It does not charge tuition fees, and you do not need to travel far. Once you are selected, you can set off immediately.

By then, even if the neighbors find out that someone is missing from the house, they can announce it openly without worrying about any sinister people, because after the fact, they will only hide their jealousy and come around with warm smiles.

Who dares to offend a family destined to produce a supernatural being?

After the detailed explanation, Appleby raised his wrist to check his watch and smiled, "The time Mr. Riddle scheduled has arrived. The admission invitation letter has been sent to the selected children. Please discuss fully with your parents and decide whether to enroll."

"Friendly reminder, the magic on the letter will expire after 24 hours, so please make a decision as soon as possible to avoid missing the opportunity."

"Tomorrow afternoon, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will hold a grand opening ceremony and the first session of the school. Friends from all over the world are welcome to visit."

"Tonight, which is also Christmas Eve, the magic school will hold a start-of-term dinner."

After saying that, he never mentioned it again. He couldn't tell the whole world that a life-extending treasure would appear at the dinner, right?
Unfortunately, even if he didn't say it, the people on Earth who should have received the news still got it. The American "elite eagles" were so angry that they were about to explode.

"Why? Why can't we take over the magic school? Now that I'm controlled by others, even my voice has become softer!"

"How can we rob? The only way to rob is to start a war."

"The key is that even if we go to war, we may not be able to get it. That wizard seems to be hostile to America."

At this time, an informed big shot revealed the attitude that Tom had conveyed to the British top leaders.

"Because he thinks that we, the descendants of robbers and thieves, are not worthy of learning noble magic..."

"Fake Squid!"

"Bichi!"

"How dare he?"

"Why wouldn't you dare? If you have the guts, don't pretend to be an old English noble and attend a dinner party on Christmas Day!"

"Ugh……"

"Force will inevitably bring retaliation. Our technology is simply not capable of defending against space magic, and they have something we desperately need. So we can only cooperate."

"Why doesn't America have its own magician? Doesn't God bless America anymore?"

"We are where we are today, not because of God..."

"The past two years have been filled with disasters, and I don't know what happened."

A sneeze!

Lin Hao sneezed, touched his nose, and wondered: "Can I still catch a cold now?"

"No, someone must have scolded me!"

Just then, the Den Den Mushi rang.

Zheng Xian's face appeared in the video projection.

"Okay, are you scolding me?" Lin Hao is used to seizing the initiative.

He knew that Zheng Xian contacted him at this time probably because he was under too much pressure.

"How are you going to end this?" Zheng Xian stared at him closely.

There was no need to think about it. When Tom Riddle appeared for the first time, Zheng Xian was sure that this person was created by Lin Hao.

"We'll act out the whole show, and there will be children from China selected, and I guarantee that they'll all be from the S.H.I.E. Bureau." Lin Hao had already thought about it.

"When do you plan to open this school?" Zheng Xian asked again.

"Why are you panicking? The first batch of students will graduate in seven years at the earliest." Lin Hao was confident that he could control the situation: "Seven years later, I might be able to rebuild the High Heaven Palace. Why would I be afraid of a few little magicians?"

Anyway, Zheng Xian is on his side and will help him deal with the internal pressure.

Apart from Zheng Xian, no one knows the real boss behind this magic school. Zheng Xian's pressure comes from the arms race and...

"What about the dinner? What are you planning to do?"
