Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 114 Merlin's Apprentice (Third Update)

On the rooftop of a building in New York,

A huge iron bird landed steadily on it.

"Oh, I feel so dizzy, I feel like throwing up!"

Dave, feeling dizzy, jumped off the iron bird's back, grabbed the roof railing, and looked extremely uncomfortable and incredulous.

As a physics major and a bit of a homebody, being able to fly so high on that giant iron bird was indeed a bit frightening for him.

Jerry and the leather-clad man named Balthazar jumped down with ease, clearly indicating that this height of flight was nothing to them.

"Relax, Dave, take a deep breath, yes, deep breaths will feel better!"

While using magic to restore the large iron bird to its original rooftop decoration form, Balthazar picked up a pigeon from the rooftop, cast a spell on it, and released it into the air.

However, Dave clearly didn't appreciate it.

He looked at Balthazar and shouted at him:

"No, you can't do this to me. Do you know how I've spent the last ten years?"

"Sorry, I've been sealed inside a jar for the past ten years!"

Balthazar shrugged, indicating his helplessness.

Meanwhile, Jerry listened silently to their conversation while observing Balthazar turning the giant iron bird into a decoration.

He felt that the transformation of this giant iron bird was somewhat similar to the transformation spell, but it was also clearly different.

Because, with Jerry's current skill level, he could also use a Transfiguration Charm to turn an ornament into a lifelike iron bird, but that iron bird would not be able to be controlled by him to fly like a living thing.

Alternatively, he could use a Transfiguration spell to turn it into a living eagle, but this eagle could not be as big as the Iron Bird, because it must be a real creature in reality.

Moreover, once this giant eagle was transformed, it was no different from a normal giant eagle and would not obey his commands.

Unless he uses the snake-summoning spell, an extension of the transfiguration spell, the snake summoned will not be under his control, or he uses the bird-summoning spell.

However, the magic used by this mage named Balthazar was different.

He seemed to have transformed the decorative iron bird on the rooftop into a living, magical iron bird that could fly and be controlled by his will.

You should know that a bird made of normal iron cannot fly no matter how much it flaps its wings.

However, this feeling is somewhat similar to alchemy.

Alchemy can also create stone statues that possess consciousness and can fight, but that requires prior crafting; it's not something that can be done with a single spell.

Furthermore, if you use alchemy to create a large iron bird, it can help you fight on the ground. But if you want it to flap its wings and carry you into the air, you'll have to find a way to add some other spells to it.

Therefore, Jerry was quite interested in the kind of magic Balthazar used.

"Um, could you please stop arguing and tell me what's going on?"

After all, I was dragged into this for no reason!

Listening to the two arguing incoherently, Jerry cast an amplification spell on himself, then used a magical lion's roar to force them to cover their ears and stop.

"Sorry, I got a little excited. Thank you for saving me. My name is Dave, and I'm a sophomore in the physics department!"

After calming down and staying behind, the two remembered that Jerry was still there. Dave went up first to thank Jerry for saving him and then told him his story.

It turns out that ten years ago, when Dave was in fourth grade, he accidentally wandered into the antique shop of this leather-clad man during a field trip.

When the man in the leather jacket saw him, he took out a ring shaped like a flying dragon. As soon as the ring saw him, it came to life and flew directly onto his finger and lay down.

So the leather-clad man concluded that he was the successor to Merlin's power and insisted on taking him on as an apprentice to teach him magic.

During this time, he accidentally dropped a Russian nesting doll, which is the so-called "hand of death," releasing the middle-aged fat man who had just attacked him.

The middle-aged fat man and the leather-clad uncle used magic to attack the antique shop. Out of fear, he ran away with the Russian nesting doll.

As I was leaving, I ran into the teacher and classmates who were leading the group, so I excitedly told them what had happened in the antique shop.

However, when the teacher led the students back into the antique shop, they discovered that the antique shop didn't have the two magicians who fought with magic that Dave had mentioned; it was just an ordinary antique shop with no one around.

As a result, Dave was diagnosed with paranoia, and his classmates even mocked him, naming the paranoia "Dave Steller Paranoia."

Especially because the battle between the two wizards at the time had soaked his pants, he lost face in front of the girl he had a crush on since childhood, and in the end, he had no choice but to transfer schools.

As a result, ten years later, having finally overcome his inner trauma and dreaming of becoming the best physicist, he encountered the two magicians from ten years ago again. How could this not make him feel devastated?

"You can call me Jerry. I sympathize with your situation!"

Jerry deactivated the amplification spell, thinking that the plot sounded somewhat familiar, so he quickly started searching his memory deep in his brain.

He couldn't possibly remember all of his memories from his previous life, which spanned over thirty years. Some memories were buried deep within his mind and required a careful search in Superman mode to find them.

"The Sorcerer's Apprentice!"

In an instant, a scene flashed into his mind.

That was when I was in college in my previous life. One of my roommates with a computer was watching a movie, and I was sitting next to him, watching along.

The movie was called "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".

The story inside is exactly the same as what Dave just told.

At this moment, Balthazar also stepped forward and introduced himself to Jerry:

"Greetings, Jerry the Mage. My name is Balthazar, or you can call me the Neurotic Mage. Thank you for saving Dave just now. By the way, which school of magic do you belong to?"

Although the young mage in front of me looks quite young, his magical abilities are quite impressive. He was able to hold his own against Horvas for a couple of rounds without being defeated, which clearly shows that he is a rare magical genius.

"Which school of thought? Hmm... the Hogwarts school!"

Jerry had no idea what schools of magic existed in this world; the movie only mentioned the Merlin School and the Morgana School, so he just used the names of the schools on the spot.

Actually, as a student of Hogwarts, it's not wrong to say that he belongs to the Hogwarts school.

Balsade paused for a moment upon hearing this:

"The Hogwarts School? I've lived for over two thousand years, and I've never heard of this school before!"
