Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 168 Conditions for Learning Magic (Second Update)

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries with Coulson, Jerry followed him to the center of the makeshift base.

"We used the best lifting equipment, but we still couldn't lift this tiny hammer. We also dug up a lot of the soil around it, but for some reason, the hammer seems to have taken root, and the soil beneath it is even harder than diamond!"

Coulson pointed to the strange hammer that had been dug up and was still standing in the center, and explained to Jerry the series of measures they had taken for the hammer after their arrival.

"Such powerful magical energy!"

Jerry activated Superman mode and walked to the hammer. Before even touching it, he could already feel the powerful magical energy contained within the hammer.

The magical power contained within the hammer was the strongest magical power he had ever sensed before; even Dumbledore had never given him such a feeling.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes quite clear that the magical power contained within the hammer is quite different from the magical power currently within his body.

He doesn't know exactly what the differences are.

He reached out, grabbed the hammer handle, and pulled hard. A magical wave immediately swept across him from the hammer, and then, as if confirming something, it went silent.

"As expected, it's impossible to pull!"

It is said that only truly righteous and kind people can lift Thor's hammer. Judging from this, he is indeed not a very righteous and kind person.

However, this is the truth. If he were asked to risk his life to save his family and friends, he might do so.

However, if he were asked to exchange his own life for the lives of people he didn't know at all, even if it meant the lives of an entire city, he would resolutely refuse.

Moreover, truly righteous and kind people often don't live happy lives.

Just like the Spider-Man played by Maguire that he watched in his previous life, who had such great strength, yet his life was not as good as most ordinary people.

This is not what he wanted.

"So? Can you confirm what this is?"

Coulson, who was standing nearby, saw Jerry pull on the hammer and fall into deep thought, so he quickly asked.

Jerry snapped out of his daze and smiled:

"This hammer contains immense magical power, which I cannot decipher at my current level. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, this hammer should be Thor's hammer from mythology, the weapon exclusively belonging to Thor!"

"Does God really exist in this world?"

Coulson's face showed disbelief.

As a materialist, he found it very difficult to believe in the existence of gods.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has a classified document containing records of people with superpowers, experts have determined that these individuals have simply undergone some kind of special genetic change, which can be explained scientifically.

However, things like gods are beyond the scope of scientific explanation.

Jerry spread his hands in disapproval.

"Before I learned magic, I didn't believe it truly existed, but it certainly does. And as for gods, perhaps you can think about it differently. In fact, with today's technology, thousands of years ago, it could very well have been seen as divine!"

Coulson touched his hair and nodded:

"I understand what you mean. Gods do exist, but they may not be as omnipotent as we imagine!"

"Yes, perhaps they are a group of aliens with special powers, but humans for thousands of years have regarded them as gods."

After Jerry finished speaking, he continued with his suggestion:

"So, since Thor's hammer has landed here, Thor might be nearby. You can send your agents to search the surrounding towns to see if any strangers have appeared here recently."

Actually, Jerry always felt that the gods like Thor and Loki in Avengers were different from the gods he imagined, especially since the movie was labeled as a science fiction film.

Therefore, he felt that compared to gods, they were more like powerful aliens with special abilities.

"Oh, a town? The nearest town is Old Bridge, about fifty miles to the east. We're heading there this afternoon for some business!"

Coulson muttered something.

"Miss Wizard, may I ask you a question?"

In the black S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicle traveling from the base to Old Bridge, Coulson looked at Jerry, who was flipping through a spellbook, with a curious expression on his face.

Jerry replied without looking up:

"It's okay, ask away, I'm listening!"

"I didn't mean anything in particular, I'm just curious, what are the conditions for learning magic? For example, do you think someone like me has a chance to learn amazing magic?"

Colson's eyes were piercing.

Jerry turned and looked Coulson up and down, then took out a book called "Basic Magic Theory" from his box and tossed it to him with a polite smile.

"Mr. Coulson, you are not aptitude for learning magic. If you like magic, this book is for you as a keepsake!"

Coulson was visibly taken aback when he caught the thick spellbook that Jerry tossed to him. It wasn't because Jerry had said he had no magical talent, but because Jerry had actually given him a precious spellbook.

This was not what he had originally expected.

"What kind of aptitude is needed to learn magic?"

Coulson silently put the precious magic book into his pocket.

Jerry held up one finger at a time and said:

"Learn the magic of our school,"

First, one must have the ability to remember everything seen.

Secondly, one must possess exceptional comprehension and analytical skills.

Third, and most importantly, one needs to be able to sense the magical power that exists in this world and then be able to manipulate it.

If you possess these three abilities, you can learn magic through the book "Basic Magic Theory"!

Why did Jerry say all this?

He was actually saying it on purpose for Coulson to hear, or for Fury to hear.

He didn't believe that S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't envious of his various amazing magics. He wanted to tell them that he had learned his magic little by little, and that it required extremely high talent.

Those conditions were only partially true.

Magic in the Harry Potter world mainly consists of wizarding blood and wands. Magic in The Sorcerer's Apprentice can be used if the above conditions are met, but you also need to know meditation and have a casting medium.

As for the book "Basic Magic Theory" that he threw at Coulson, it was indeed a real magic book, which he had bought at Flourish and Blotts.

However, even if all the experts at S.H.I.E.L.D. worked together, they probably still wouldn't be able to figure it out.

However, the magical theories in that book are indeed correct, and I believe they should be able to fool S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while.

What he needs now is time; the longer he has, the stronger he will become. He needs to ensure that if S.H.I.E.L.D. were to turn against him in the future, he could easily crush them all.
