Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 13 Return to the Marvel Universe

Under normal circumstances, even if Jerry were proficient in Jeet Kune Do and had eight-pack abs, he would definitely not be a match for this burly white man in front of him, especially since the other party was carrying a knife.

In his past life, Jerry had read a news report about a certain boxing champion who encountered a knife-wielding assailant on the street. After a fight, the boxing champion was stabbed and hospitalized, while the knife-wielding assailant escaped unharmed.

Fighting skills can generally only be effective when both sides are in similar physical condition. If the conditions are too different, it is difficult to win unless you are determined to kill your opponent and aim every move at their vital points.

If one person is unarmed and the other is armed with a knife, even if one has the best fighting skills, it is best to run away. While it is not impossible to disarm someone with bare hands, it is more likely that the knife will go in and the knife will come out.

Therefore, Jerry easily defeated a burly man wielding a knife with just a few low-level spells that didn't cause any direct damage, demonstrating that using unconventional power like magic as an aid can be quite effective.

However, it cannot be denied that Jerry's sneak attack gave him a certain advantage.

After knocking the robber unconscious, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he took two bills from a wad of loose banknotes, put them in his pocket, and then leisurely left the scene.

Doing good deeds without expecting anything in return is not his style.

Although two banknotes were not much to him, he always reminded himself that it was okay to do good deeds, but there had to be a reward.

Since he had helped the lady deal with the robber and retrieve her wallet, he had to take two banknotes from it as a reward. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would end up doing good deeds to earn little red stars and really become a saintly figure.

That was something he absolutely did not want to see.

Having lived for over forty years, he understands how to make his life better.

Having been given a second chance at life, he did not seek great wealth or power, but he also did not want to become a victim who only cared about others.

A person's life is only a hundred years long, and sometimes being a little selfish is not a big mistake.

Moreover, his strange panel gives you a little red star for doing good deeds, and even if you regret it immediately after doing a good deed, there won't be any problems.

In other words, if he saves someone's life, a little red star will appear in his account; even if he kills that person after saving them, the little red star will not disappear.

That's how unintelligent it is!

Not long after Jerry left, the young white-collar woman timidly peeked out of the alley. She had just heard what sounded like screams outside, but out of caution, she didn't come out immediately.

When she saw the burly man lying unconscious on the ground not far from the alley entrance, she was first startled, then overjoyed.

She slowly approached, and after confirming that the burly man who had robbed her seemed to have really passed out, she immediately took back her cash and necklace jewelry, then kicked the burly man twice before swaying her hips away in her high heels.

She didn't choose to call the police. Since she had already gotten the money and jewelry back, even though two bills were missing, it didn't matter. It was better to avoid trouble.

December 1991, 9.

Jerry got up early and prepared everything he needed to take to Hogwarts.

Today is his first day at Hogwarts to begin his magical studies, and also the last day of his one-month trial period.

"Countdown to the return begins: 10, 9, 8, 7"

Looking at the countdown to his return on the panel, Jerry took a deep breath and then gripped his wand tightly.

"Three, two, one, let's begin the return!"

As the countdown ended, he once again felt that state where the whole world was frozen, and then everything went black, and he lost all consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the hijacked school bus. At the same time, he heard the arrogant laughter of the two hijackers and the continuous "bang bang" of gunfire.

"Thankfully, the wand came along!"

Jerry ignored the two robbers beside him and immediately looked down at the magic wand in his right hand.

His biggest worry was that he wouldn't be able to bring the wand back after his return.

Without the aid of a wand, it would be virtually impossible for him to cast a spell, with a failure rate as high as 99%.

"Now it's all about how to safely deal with these four thugs!"

Gripping his wand tightly, Jerry squinted and scanned the entire interior of the school bus.

Before his return, he was already thinking about how to safely deal with the four armed robbers.

With the aid of magic, dealing with these robbers wouldn't be too difficult; he had already tested it last night.

However, the most difficult part is ensuring that the robbers do not accidentally harm other children on the school bus.

Therefore, his plan was to wait and see if there was any change in the situation. If there was no change, he would take forceful action.

Although there is a possibility of accidentally injuring some people, the first priority is to ensure the safety of myself and my sister.

All he could say was sorry!

If the robbers escaped the police car and left the school bus with the stolen money, that would be ideal, as he wouldn't have to risk taking any more action.

As for Little Red Star, he can earn it simply by doing good deeds. There will be plenty of opportunities for him to earn it once he has mastered magic, so there is no need to take any risks.

"Smith, we've shaken off the police!"

The two robbers next to Jerry, seeing that even the last police car had been forced to stop under their frenzied shooting, laughed and reported to the robber in the middle of the school bus who was pointing a gun at Ms. Belle.

The robber who pointed the gun at Ms. Belle, presumably the leader of the four robbers, turned to the robber controlling the driver Paul and asked him a question after hearing the report from the two robbers behind him:

"Have we arrived yet?"

"Smith, it'll be ready soon!"

The robber in front glanced at the road sign in front of the car and replied with a smile.

About twenty minutes later, under the direction of the robbers, the school bus was stopped on a quiet, deserted side road.

"What do we do now? Kill them all?"

The two robbers at the back of the car walked toward the leader, a man named Smith.

Upon hearing this, Jerry immediately raised the wand in his hand.

If the robbers intend to kill everyone in the car, then he will have no choice but to take the risk.

"Idiot, why kill them all? Do you want us to die even faster?"

The gang leader, named Smith, kicked the robber who made the suggestion in the buttocks.

He understood perfectly well that if he had only robbed a small bank, it would have caused a sensation, but it wouldn't have been that serious, since only the bank would have suffered the loss.

Moreover, the money they stole was just a drop in the ocean for the bank.

However, if a busload of elementary school students were killed, it would definitely cause a social uproar. They would become targets of public condemnation, and the country might even deploy its army to deal with them.

That's why he called his subordinate a brainless idiot.
