Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 354 The S.H.I.E.L.D. Team (6000+ words)

A month later, at a villa in Queens, New York.

Jerry stood in the living room, concentrating his mind to mobilize the magic within him, then raised his index finger and slowly drew a circle.

As Jerry moved his index finger, a magical fire circle large enough for one person to pass through appeared in the living room. It was the Vishanti's portal, a spell that every Kamar-Taj mage must learn.

After thirty days of summarizing and researching, he finally succeeded in analyzing, transforming, and releasing the unique spatial magic of Kamar-Taj in his own way.

Unlike Apparition, Vishanti's portals can take you not only to places you've already been, but also to completely unfamiliar places, as long as you calculate the distance correctly.

He stepped through the portal and found himself above a vast, boundless ocean.

"Check if the distance was judged well."

Jerry used his flight ability to float in mid-air, then took out his phone, turned on the satellite positioning system, and began to calculate the actual distance between himself and his villa, and whether it matched the distance predicted before opening the portal.

A moment later, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Clearly, the distance measured by the phone was almost identical to his previous prediction, which meant that he had essentially mastered the Vishanti's portal spell.

"Huh? Why is someone jumping into the Atlantic Ocean to commit suicide?"

Just as Jerry was about to finish the experiment and open another portal back to the villa to continue researching other magic, a huge airplane flew overhead, and then a young woman screamed and jumped off the plane.

Based on the idea that he would get a little red star for saving people, and his previous habit of helping anyone in danger, he didn't think much of it, spread his snow-white wings, and flew directly towards the falling woman.

"Hey, ma'am, you only live once, there's no need to waste it like this!"

Jerry reached out and caught the woman who had fallen from the plane, offering a casual word of comfort.

After being caught, the woman clung tightly to Jerry, her face filled with terror as she replied:

"Thank you, thank you. I don't want to die either, but if I don't jump off the plane, my teammates will die with me. Oh, you've grown wings."

However, just as the woman was surprised to see Jerry with wings, another figure appeared above them, clearly having jumped down after the woman.

"Here we go again, is this a group suicide pact, jumping into the Atlantic Ocean?"

Jerry pointed speechlessly at the man above his head:

"Yugadimurleviosa!"

Under the effect of the levitation spell, the man's descent speed immediately slowed down, and he floated in mid-air like a balloon.

"This one was wearing a parachute, so it doesn't seem like it was suicide."

Carrying the young woman, Jerry approached the man who was levitating in mid-air. Upon seeing the parachute pack on the man's back, Jerry immediately realized that the man was not attempting suicide but trying to save someone.

The man was completely bewildered, because he had originally jumped out of the plane to save someone, but before he could even see the person, he found himself floating in the air and not descending. He almost thought he had accidentally deployed his parachute prematurely.

Immediately afterwards, he saw his teammate, whom he was trying to save, being carried by a strange young man with wings. Could he be an angel?

No, there can't be angels in this world. Could they be the product of some kind of genetic mutation or scientific experiment?

"Grant, why did you jump? I'm beyond saving!"

The slightly tearful voice of his teammate brought Grant back to his senses. As a top-notch S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, he had seen it all. If the current scene hadn't been so unbelievable, he wouldn't have been so stunned.

"Jemma, Fitz said the serum you researched worked. The lab rat that just fainted wasn't because of the virus, but because you knocked it unconscious with too much force. I saw Fitz grab a parachute and was about to jump, but he doesn't even know how to carry a parachute, so I had to come down and save you!"

"So, I don't have to die!"

The young woman named Gemma burst into tears.

As one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most outstanding and brilliant biologists, she had only recently graduated from S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy when she and her classmate and friend Fitz were recruited by senior agent Coulson to join his elite team that handles special events.

Just before, she was infected while dealing with a special alien virus in the Chitauri helmet during the Battle of New York. In order to prevent herself from causing an explosion that would destroy the plane and harm her teammates, she chose to secretly jump out of the plane and commit suicide.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. From despair to hope, her emotions inevitably became somewhat out of control.

"Ahem, here you go!"

Seeing that the other person was about to wipe their snot and tears on their clothes, Jerry quickly produced a few napkins and handed them over.

Gemma took the tissue and wiped away her tears and snot:

"Oh, thank you. What's your name?"

"You can call."

Before Jerry could answer, the large plane that had just flown past made an emergency U-turn and returned, stopping above them.

"So you're agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I was just thinking of finding some time to visit your headquarters in Washington and have a chat with Director Nick Fury. By the way, what are your names?"

He glanced up at the familiar pattern on the large plane and immediately recognized it as the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo.

"Agent Grant Ward of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Agent Gemma Simmons of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Once they regained their composure, Gemma and Grant saw that the winged youth who had rescued them not only recognized them but also seemed to know their chief. They exchanged a glance and replied.

"Agent Grant, Agent Gemma, you can call me Wizard. I'll escort you up and then meet your superiors on the plane. Also, have them pass on a message to your director!"

The higher-ups at S.H.I.E.L.D. knew his identity, as did Hydra, so Jerry no longer needed to use illusions to disguise himself as Hermione.

Of course, most importantly, with his current strength, there is no need for him to pretend anymore.

As long as the public doesn't know his true identity, it won't affect his normal life with Haas and Elsa.

In fact, even if someone knew his true identity and deliberately revealed it to the public, the public probably wouldn't believe it, because in their eyes, the wizard is a girl, and that's already a fact.

Unless one day, his identity is officially announced, and he is confirmed to be a wizard.

There's no need to worry about that, because he has a very good relationship with the vice president. Whenever something involves him, the vice president will handle it for him before it happens. If the vice president can't handle it, he'll let him know in advance so he can handle it himself.

"What?"

When Jerry said he was a wizard, Gemma and Grant were incredulous, because like most people, they thought wizards were girls, and they had never heard of wizards having wings!

Jerry didn't explain. Instead, he carried Gemma and Grant and flew directly to the open exit of the large plane, landing on the hangar deck.

"Unexpectedly, it's an old acquaintance!"

The first thing he saw when he landed on the deck was Phil Coulson standing at the very front.

When Coulson saw Jerry carrying Gemma and lifting Grant as they landed, his pupils contracted, because he recognized Jerry as well.

"Thank you so much for your help, sir!"

Coulson's eyes darted around, and he immediately pretended not to know Jerry, thanking him profusely.

Jerry, after putting Gemma and Grant down, rolled his eyes at Coulson.

"Alright, Coulson, stop pretending. I know you definitely know I'm a wizard, but I didn't expect you to still be alive. It made me sad for days."

"Uh, okay, I'm just afraid you'll erase my memories again!"

Jerry's words exposed Cole's slight embarrassment.

Upon hearing Coulson mention his use of the Oblivion Charm, Jerry waved his hand dismissively:

"Alright, then we're even. Is there anywhere we can sit down and talk? I'd like you to pass on a message to Chief Nick!"

"Fitz, take Gemma to rest. May continues piloting the plane. Grant and Skye, tidy up the warehouse here!"

When Coulson heard that Jerry had something to discuss, he immediately assigned tasks and then led Jerry to sit down in the luxurious lounge in the middle of the plane.

Jerry didn't waste any time. He threw out the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and the Hydra agent who had attacked him a month ago from the box space, and then gave a general account of what had happened.

During that month, he focused all his energy on studying Kamar-Taj magic, and the Hydra agents also refrained from attacking his family again.

So he had almost forgotten about Hydra.

After all, compared to the various magics of Kamar-Taj, Hydra, a terrorist organization composed of ordinary people, is utterly insignificant.

He even felt that they were inferior to the fake "Ten Rings" gang that attacked Iron Man, since their Extremis warriors were quite formidable.

Moreover, he estimated that he wouldn't have the energy to deal with this matter for a while, so he took advantage of the fact that he ran into Coulson today and asked him to tell Nick about it so that Nick could handle the investigation himself.

If he can take them down directly, that would be best. If he can't, at least he can expose the Hydra agents. Then he can just go there and send them to their deaths in no time, saving him both time and effort.

"Impossible. Hydra was wiped out during World War II. How could there still be spies left?"

When Coulson heard Jerry's words, his first reaction was disbelief, because even as a senior agent with his authority, he had not seen any information about the existence of Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files.

"Alright, whether you believe it or not, that's the truth. See that tall guy? He's a Hydra spy. You can interrogate him yourselves when you get back."

"I have to go now. Remember, if you haven't found any Hydra spies by the time I'm done with this, then I'll assume that S.H.I.E.L.D. attacked my family. Don't blame me for going there and tearing your entire headquarters down!"

Jerry didn't say much, got up and drew another portal.

"Young wizard, wait a minute."

Seeing Jerry about to step into the portal, Coulson quickly called out to him.

Jerry turned his head, somewhat puzzled:

"Coulson, is there anything else you don't understand?"

"No, could you please fix my hair again? I don't know why, but after my hair was injured and healed last time, it went back to normal."

Coulson pointed somewhat embarrassedly to his balding head.

Jerry's lips twitched, he casually tossed Coulson a hair growth spell, and then disappeared through the portal.

Coulson's head went from being half-bald to having long hair reaching his waist in an instant.

Touching his long hair, Coulson nodded in satisfaction, then quickly pushed open the door to the luxurious living room.

Behind the door, Gemma, Fitz, Grant, and Skye, who were eavesdropping, quickly took a step back.

"Sir, is he really that wizard... um... your hair?"

"My hair doesn't matter. Go tell May right now to change course; we're heading to headquarters in Washington!"

Coulson brushed his long hair aside and gave the order in a serious tone.

One month later, at the Kamar-Taj Library.

A circular ring of fire appeared out of nowhere, and Jerry, carrying a pile of Kamar-Taj spellbooks, strode over from his villa.

"Master Gilawa, I've come to return the spellbook!"

"The Book of Vision, The New Cosmos, The Supreme Codex, The Key of Solomon, and The Fundamentals of Kamar-Taj Magic."

After carefully recording each of the spellbooks Jerry had left behind, the Kamar-Taj librarian named Jirawa couldn't help but sigh:

"Master Carmen, you read so fast! In just two months, you've already read half the books in the library!"

As a librarian in Kamar-Taj for five or six years, Jirawa had never seen anyone read books so quickly. Most Kamar-Taj mages would only borrow one book at a time, and it would take them at least one or two months to finish reading it before they would borrow a second one.

Carmen would borrow seventy or eighty books at a time, and then come back to exchange them every two or three days. At first, everyone thought that Carmen had never finished reading them.

Later they realized they were wrong, because in just one month, the mage Carmen was able to use the most iconic magic of Kamar-Taj—the Vishanti's portal.

Subsequently, he mastered the magic of Kamar-Taj at an extremely fast pace.

So they could only sigh, there was a reason why this person was so powerful in magic at such a young age.

"I've had a photographic memory since I was a child, so I can read faster than the average person!"

Jerry smiled and replied.

During this month, apart from occasionally going home to see Haas and Elsa, Jerry put aside everything else, even temporarily putting aside his planned bloodline research experiments, and devoted himself entirely to researching the magic of Kamar-Taj.

Clearly, his dedicated study and research have yielded remarkable results. At least for now, through the books of Kamar-Taj, he has gained a more detailed understanding of the development of magic in this world and some dimensional demons in the multiverse.

According to the books in Kamar-Taj, magic is a power that existed in the world before the advent of Earth's civilization, and it is also a manifestation of the laws of the universe.

Later, the first Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto, used ancient Sanskrit to record this power that exists in the universe in the form of language, which formed the Kamar-Taj magic we know today.

Agamotto is also one of the main sources of power for the Kamar-Taj sorcerers, as he is the Vishanti Trinity.

The Vishanti consist of three dimensional daemons: the first Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto; the ancient god Oshit, born on Earth; and the alien ancient god Hoggus, whom Oshit met while traveling the universe.

They were also known as the Omnipotent Oshit, the All-Seeing Agamotto, and the Old Hoggs.

Normally, Jerry cannot use Kamar-Taj magic because he is not a Kamar-Taj sorcerer and has not drawn power from Vishanti.

Many of Kamar-Taj's spells originate from dimensional daemons, so they also require the power of dimensional daemons to be released and utilized.

Vishanti-based magic, such as portals, spatial blades, mirror spaces, and the Holy Sword of Vishanti, requires the power of Vishanti to be cast.

As for items like Cytorak's Crimson Belt and Seraphin's Shield, they can only be used by borrowing the power of demons like Cytorak and Seraphin.

This is one of the reasons why many sorcerers in Kamar-Taj are not very proficient in magic.

Because apart from the spells of the Vishanti lineage, they simply cannot borrow the power to cast spells from other demon gods.

Regarding this issue, he even consulted the Ancient One. The Ancient One's answer was that the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj were not powerful enough. If they were powerful enough, they could forcibly borrow the power of those dimensional lords to cast spells without needing their consent.

From that moment on, Jerry finally understood why the Ancient One was so much stronger than a normal Kamar-Taj sorcerer.

Because she could cast all the spells in the library.

Fortunately, Jerry is not bad either. Although he cannot borrow the power of all the dimensional demons, and of course he will not borrow their power, his magical theoretical foundation is solid enough and he is knowledgeable.

Therefore, he can study its magical theories, convert them, and use his own magical power to replace the power of the dimensional demon god to release magic.

The principle of magic is the external manifestation of the laws of the universe, which existed since the beginning of the universe. Dimensional demons are only able to use this kind of magic because they are proficient in these laws.

Jerry's goal is to unravel the mystery, see beyond the surface, analyze the most fundamental principles of these magical techniques, and then reconstruct them according to his own understanding.

Just like the Vishanti's teleportation portal he just cast, it was because he spent a month thoroughly analyzing the spatial principles it contained that he was able to bypass the Vishanti's power and cast it directly using the magic power within his own body.

However, it's not without its drawbacks.

That means he has to use his own magic to cast it, which requires even more magic power.

Because the essence of many forms of magic is actually the essence of those dimensional demons; they have imprinted those laws into their bodies, making them a part of their bodies.

Therefore, it is very easy for mages to use their power to cast corresponding spells.

But Jerry reassembled it using his own magical concepts and released it using his own power, relying on himself from beginning to end, which naturally made things much more difficult for him.

After all, he didn't have the immense power of a dimensional demon god.

Just like this portal, the Ancient One could use it to go anywhere in the universe, or even directly enter the multiverse, while he can only travel around Earth right now.

Because the teleportation was too far, the magic power in my body simply couldn't handle it.

However, in terms of teleportation distance, it is indeed much farther than his teleportation and much more convenient than the door key. It's just that it's not as fast to activate as teleportation, making it difficult to use in combat.

However, in reality, apart from the Ancient One, very few people in Kamar-Taj can open interplanetary portals. The energy required is too great, and those without exceptional talent simply cannot borrow it.

"These magic books can't be read just by memorizing them!"

Gilava put the books that Jerry had returned back in their original places, one by one.

Over the years, Kamar-Taj has recruited many sorcerers, including many with high intelligence and amazing memories, but that does not mean they can understand or comprehend those profound spells.

"By the way, Master Gilawa, what kind of magic books are on that bookshelf behind you? I've never seen anyone borrow them!"

While searching for the magic book, Jerry suddenly discovered a bookshelf in a very hidden spot behind the Gilava chair.

"Oh, that's His Holiness's private bookshelf; the books inside are only for His Holiness to see."

Gilawa replied, having rearranged all the books.

"The Ancient One's private book collection!"

Jerry's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this:

"So, the books there can't be borrowed?"

"Normally, it is not allowed to borrow books. Although the knowledge of Kamar-Taj is shared, His Holiness said that the contents of the magic books there are too profound. Many mages cannot even understand the magic books in front of them, let alone the magic in the books."

Moreover, many of the spells on that bookshelf are quite dangerous. Trying them lightly could easily lead to one's own death, or even cause the deaths of many innocent people.

Jirawat paused halfway through his sentence, then continued:

"However, His Holiness said that Master Carmen is an exception. If you want to read her books, you can borrow them, but you can only borrow one book at a time, and you can only borrow a second book after you have finished reading it."

In fact, Gilava was quite surprised by the Sorcerer Supreme's instructions. Even Kaecilius, the most outstanding disciple of Kamar-Taj, was forbidden from borrowing the spellbooks from the Supreme's private bookshelf.

However, His Holiness was willing to grant Kamen, the monk who was unwilling to join Kamar-Taj, access to his private bookshelf.

"It seems that from now on, it will be really difficult for Kamar-Taj to refuse requests when faced with difficulties!"

Upon hearing Gilawa's words, Jerry couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Although he did not join Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One not only opened all the books in the library to him, but also patiently answered any magical questions Jerry had.

Now, they're even willing to let him borrow their private collections that other monks can't see, which leaves him speechless.

To be honest, the Ancient One is so powerful that she shouldn't need his help much, yet she treated him like this, which made him both puzzled and touched.
