Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 17 The First Meeting with Iron Man

"Jarvis, retrieve all surveillance footage and analyze the robbers' possible escape routes!"

Inside the Mark IV armor, Tony gave instructions to the artificial intelligence Jarvis.

"Yes, sir!"

Jarvis, as an artificial intelligence, is extremely efficient. It quickly analyzed various monitoring data and determined the approximate route of the school bus after escaping the police pursuit.

After a high-speed flight, guided by Jarvis, Tony quickly found the school bus with a flat tire and the teachers and students inside.

After learning that four robbers had taken a young boy as a hostage into the woods, he used tire tracks found in the woods and various road surveillance cameras to confirm the robbers' vehicle and route, and successfully located the warehouse where the robbers were hiding.

Compared to the police system's reliance on manpower to manually review surveillance footage and conduct searches, the AI ​​Jarvis is clearly much faster.

"Scan the warehouse structure and determine the number of people inside!"

Because the hijackers had hostages, Tony didn't immediately rush in wearing his armor and take them out with a few palm strikes. Instead, he used the advanced scanning system inside his armor to scan the entire warehouse.

"Sir, there were five people in the warehouse: four adult human men and one human child. However, the four adult human men are now lifeless!"

"What?"

Upon hearing Jarvis's report, Tony's face showed surprise.

"boom!"

A palm-sized cannon blast blasted open the door, and Tony, clad in his armor, walked into the warehouse.

"Who...did this?"

Blood, corpses, and US dollars were scattered all over the ground. The warehouse was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Clearly, someone had found the robbers before him and killed them all.

……

"Oh? The police arrived so quickly, that's quite efficient!"

Jerry, who was lying in bed with his eyes closed to rest, immediately jumped out of bed when he heard a loud noise coming from outside.

"Wouldn't this seem a bit abnormal?"

An eleven-year-old boy was kidnapped here by four ruthless robbers, yet he showed no fear and remained calm, which seemed a bit too much.

After thinking for a moment, Jerry took out his wand and chanted a spell to himself:

"The flow of the river will not stop!"

A faint magical light shone on his face, and two streams of snot immediately flowed down his nose.

This is the Snot Curse, a spell that makes the recipient's nose run uncontrollably.

Because Jerry deliberately reduced the amount of magic power when casting this spell, the effect was greatly weakened.

She put away her wand and rubbed her eyes hard, making them red and looking like she had been crying, her expression showing fear and dread.

Perfect! A perfectly normal little boy, terrified after being kidnapped, makes his grand entrance.

A moment later, the wooden door was violently kicked open, and a tall figure in armor walked into the room.

"Iron Man!"

Jerry, his face covered in snot, looked at the newcomer and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He initially thought it was the police who had found him, but it turned out to be Iron Man.

"Oh, right, it's me, the super-powerful Iron Man. So don't worry, you're safe now. Come here, I'll take you home!"

Hearing the soothing voice coming from the armor, Jerry paused for a moment, then wiped his nose and said innocently:

"Iron Man is so cool!"

"Yes, that's really cool. If you behave, I might consider sending you a small model!"

Instead of leading Jerry through the warehouse's main entrance, which was filled with corpses and blood, Tony raised his hand and blasted through the wall of the room with a palm strike, then walked out of the warehouse.

"Jarvis, contact the police who are still looking for the robbers. Send them this address and all the records from when we entered until we left!"

After giving Jarvis a command, Tony picked up Jerry and flew low towards the direction where the school bus had been.

"What's your name?"

"Jerry!"

"Did you hear any strange noises in the room just now?"

"All I heard were gunshots and shouts!"

"Shouting and cursing?"

"Yes, idiot, bastard, bitch..."

"Alright, that's enough. Forget about those unpleasant words..."

"Are you really Iron Man?"

"Genuine, guaranteed!"

Is it true that you'll send me a model kit?

"Of course, it will be delivered to your doorstep first thing tomorrow morning!"

And so, Jerry continued to act as a normal kid, chatting idly with Tony.

"Looks like I'll have to find some time to get a flying broomstick and bring it over!"

Watching Tony fly freely in the air in his armor, Jerry couldn't help but show an envious expression.

People who are free at heart all yearn for the dream of flying, especially the kind of flying that they can control themselves and fly freely in the air. Jerry is no exception.

Fortunately, wizards also have their own unique ways of flying.

The simplest and most convenient way to fly is by flying broomstick. Ordinary flying broomsticks, such as Nimbus 1000, have a speed of about 100 miles per hour, which is equivalent to about 160 kilometers per hour.

Better flying brooms can reach speeds of over 200 kilometers per hour, such as the Nimbus 2000, and the even faster Fire Arrow.

Once you become powerful enough, you can even learn the flight spell and transform into a streak of white light to fly, without needing to rely on any other magical tools.

Of course, neither the flying broom nor the flying spell can match Tony's Iron Man suit in speed. After all, he had heard from his colleagues in his previous life that Tony's Iron Man suit could reach supersonic speeds.

However, wizards only use flying brooms for short-distance flights. For long distances, they can use Apparition, Portkeys, or Floo Powder to reach their destination in an instant.

To ensure Jerry's safety, Tony didn't fly particularly fast, taking about an hour to reach the place where the school bus had stopped.

By this time, the location of the school bus had been surrounded by a large number of police officers. When Tony found the school bus, he sent its location to the local police station.

"Jerry, oh, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Almost all the students were sent home by the police, but Ms. Belle insisted on staying behind to wait for the rescue results because she was worried about Jerry's safety.

Although Belle is not very old, only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, she is a very responsible teacher.

It's clear from the fact that she stepped forward to protect the students on the school bus and volunteered to be a hostage.

Jerry, as her student, took her place as a hostage. If she couldn't confirm Jerry's safety, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Ms. Belle, I'm... I'm okay!"

As soon as Jerry landed, he was hugged tightly and kissed by an excited teacher named Belle, leaving Jerry momentarily stunned.
