Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 355 Hulkbuster Suit (6000+ words)

Walking up to the Ancient One's private bookshelf, Jerry casually picked up a book and glanced at it, his pupils immediately shrinking.

The book is titled "The Book of Cagliostro." After reading the introduction, I found that it is a book that specifically studies time magic, and it also involves methods for drawing energy from the dark dimension.

"No wonder the Ancient One thought it wouldn't be dangerous for me to read these books!"

Time magic can cause time branches to appear in the world. It would be quite dangerous for a mage to learn it. Jerry himself knows some time magic and has a time converter.

As for drawing energy from the Dark Dimension to attract Dormammu's attention, there's even less to worry about. Jerry uses his own magic to cast spells and doesn't draw energy from the Dark Dimension at all.

After putting down "The Book of Cagliostro," Jerry looked at the other books on the shelf, including "Out-of-Body Experience," which is a book that studies the soul, and "Kafka Runes," a powerful oblivion magic that can travel to the past and future and change the laws of nature.

He glanced through them and found that they were all extremely powerful and dangerous spells. If used improperly, they could bring disaster to the world. Moreover, they were indeed very profound. Even after just a brief look, he found much of the magical knowledge difficult to understand.

After thinking for a moment, Jerry pulled out the magic book called "Out-of-Body Experience".

Soul magic has always been the most mysterious form of magic, a type of magic that many magicians study their entire lives but still cannot understand.

Two months ago, when the Ancient One first ripped his soul out, he rekindled his great interest in soul magic. Fortunately, he already had some basic knowledge of it, such as sealing techniques, soul absorption techniques, and Horcrux crafting, all of which are related to soul magic.

Therefore, he chose the book "Out-of-Body Experience" first, instead of "The Book of Cagliostro," which was related to time magic and which he had been studying.

The main reason is that when the time converter is unusable, astral projection can help him cultivate and study more efficiently.

For example, you can maintain a meditative state in your physical body to enhance your magical power, while your soul leaves your body to read books and learn magic, thus doing two things in the same amount of time.

After taking out "Out-of-Body Experience," he then picked out seventy or eighty magic books related to the soul from the regular inner and outer book sections before registering and using a portal to return to his villa in New York.

"Mirror Space!"

The first thing Jerry did upon returning to the villa was to activate the Mirror Space.

With the foundation of the Hungarian Mirror Trap and the Hungarian Mirror World, he did not spend too much time and quickly deciphered and researched the mirror space magic that could also be released using his magic power.

The more magic you learn, the more you'll discover that many spells share similar principles. With a little study, you can figure out the differences and make modifications that don't affect the effects.

If many Kamar-Taj sorcerers learn magic by simply knowing how to cast spells, creating magic circles according to incantations to output a fixed amount of energy to successfully release the magic, then Jerry knows the "why" behind it. In addition to successfully casting the spell, he can also make adjustments.

The Mirror Space is a very useful magic. Practicing and experimenting with magic inside will not affect the outside world at all, and you can also see what is happening outside.

So since he learned about the mirror space, he rarely practiced magic in the box space anymore, because practicing magic in the box space, which was inside the villa, was not actually that safe.

Although he placed a Muggle banishment charm and an invisibility charm on the box, there was no guarantee that a powerful sorcerer could break the spell and take the box away.

You see, he's inside the box, and if the box is taken away, he won't know. If he gets ambushed when he comes out, that would be terrible.

Previously, it was unavoidable to practice and experiment with magic outside the box, which was sometimes very inconvenient. Now that we have the Mirror Space, things are naturally different.

Moreover, he discovered that this mirror space and the portal were a perfect match.

He can stand in the mirror space and observe what is happening in the real space, while people in the real space cannot detect him at all.

At this point, he could open a small teleportation portal and directly reach into the real world to pull things or people from the real world into the mirror space without anyone noticing.

Alternatively, you could suddenly open a small portal behind the enemy, then unleash a punch, a kick, or even a spell in the mirror space. The enemy would have little chance to dodge and would be forced to passively take the hits.

It can be described as the perfect combination for stealing things, stealing people, and launching surprise attacks and assassinations.

Unless the opponent is equally proficient in spatial magic, or can forcibly break through the mirror space with absolute power, these two spells alone would be enough to make him invincible.

Sitting on the bed in the mirror space, Jerry prepared to first experiment with some of the Kamar-Taj magic he had recently been researching, then study "Out-of-Body Experience" for a while, before starting his daily meditation practice.

However, before the magic experiment could even begin, he suddenly slapped his forehead:

"I almost forgot, I need Tony's help with something!"

He then picked up the magic mirror that had been hanging on his waist, activated it with magic, and switched the connection to the storyboard he had given Tony earlier.

Meanwhile, at Stark Tower.

Tony and Dr. Banner are at the research base, working together to research and build a colossal Iron Man suit. The frame of this suit is very different from the frame of Tony's normal Iron Man suit; it is thicker and stronger, and four or five times larger.

"Tony, I think you should design an ultra-powerful pile driver on the arm of the suit. Otherwise, the punching power of an ordinary suit might not be enough to damage Hulk."

"Okay, maybe I should install an even more powerful energy cannon!"

Tony said, half-jokingly, as he quickly adjusted the virtual projection design in front of him.

Dr. Banner, who was not far away, nodded in agreement:

"I think that's a great idea!"

"All right!"

Just as Tony was starting to feel that some of Dr. Banner's suggestions were a bit too much, the doorbell of the research lab suddenly rang. Turning around, he saw his bodyguard Happy, who was waving at him through the glass door, holding up a small, sparkling mirror.

"Jarvis, let Happy in!"

"Yes, sir!"

As a mechanical voice rang out in the research room, the transparent glass door was immediately opened.

Seeing this, Happy quickly held up the small, glowing mirror and ran to Tony.

"The mirror is lit up; it looks like the witch is looking for you!"

"Oh, she hasn't contacted us for quite some time now. What a heartless friend!"

Tony took the mirror and complained.

Since they teamed up to defeat those desperate warriors, he had never seen the wizard again or heard from him.

"Tony, are you busy right now? I need your help with something!"

I took the magic mirror and pressed the button to connect. Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice and face came from the mirror.

Tony looked at the young man in the mirror, his face full of confusion:

"That depends on who's looking for me. If it's the witch, I'm not in a hurry. But who are you? Are you the witch's brother?"

"Since you're not busy, let's talk when we meet!"

Using the magic mirror to pinpoint his location, Jerry instantly Apparated and appeared right in front of Tony.

Within New York City, there's no need for a portal; Apparition is more convenient.

"Oh, Dr. Banner is here too. Let me reintroduce myself. I am the wizard, my real name is Jerry Carmen. The appearance I had before was mainly due to magic, to deceive the people at S.H.I.E.L.D. and prevent them from harassing my family!"

"Walter x2!!!"

Tony and Banner gasped in surprise, their mouths agape, upon hearing Jerry's explanation.

After a long pause, Tony finally spoke:

"Well, it's nothing really. After all, your magic is amazing. It's just that we always thought you were a girl, and suddenly you turned into a boy, which surprised us a bit!"

"Yes, you did the right thing. I was chased all over the place by S.H.I.E.L.D. and General Ross back then, and I even broke up with my girlfriend in the end."

Dr. Banner nodded in agreement.

Although he now has a good relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. and they are even working together to research a way for him to return to normal, it must be admitted that the suffering he endured in the past few years was inextricably linked to S.H.I.E.L.D.

"By the way, what are you guys doing? Are you building a Gundam?"

Jerry looked at the large mech, five or six meters tall, standing in the middle of the research lab and couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.

Tony pointed at Banner and replied:

"This is a special suit proposed by Dr. Banner, specifically designed to deal with the Hulk going out of control. We currently call it the 'Anti-Hulk Suit!'"

"Okay, yes, I suggested it. After all, that guy is too dangerous, and I don't want to become a wanted criminal again."

Banner saw that Tony was now shifting all the blame onto him, but he didn't deny it. After all, in his heart, he always believed that Hulk was a monster, someone who should be eliminated.

He has been researching various serums in order to make the Hulk disappear forever and then return to a normal life.

"Oh, actually I think Hulk is pretty good. He never intentionally hurts other people."

Jerry mentioned it briefly, but didn't say much more on the topic. Hulk and Banner were essentially one entity, and Banner's decision to guard against Hulk was his own; that wasn't his purpose in coming today.

"Tony, do I need your help?"

"Tell me, and I'll do everything in my power to help you if it's within my power!"

Tony replied without hesitation.

From the moment he met the wizard, the wizard was always helping him. At first, it was the life-saving potion that helped him decipher the magic potion, then it was dealing with the out-of-control robot soldiers, and finally it helped him resolve the crisis of the Extremis Warrior.

Now, the time has finally come for him to repay the favor.

As a genius scientist, a super-rich man, and a man who could create an Iron Man suit, his self-esteem was far stronger than that of an average person.

It's not his style to keep owing favors and not repaying them. Luckily, he recently upgraded his battle suit, which he can now use to unleash his full potential.

"Well, my summer vacation is starting in a few days, and I need you to come to my house."

Five minutes later, after Jerry told Tony his entire plan, Tony's spirits plummeted, and he asked again with a disappointed tone:

"That's it? Nothing else, like eliminating some supervillain or evil sorcerer?"

"Tony, if you believe there's an enemy who can't even beat me, then I'll come after you."

Jerry hadn't finished speaking when Tony interrupted him immediately:

"Don't say anything more, I understand, I get it. Five days from now, right? I'll definitely be there on time. Just give me an address!"

"Okay, thanks then. Remember to act convincingly. My dad's a policeman, so he's good at spotting lies."

Jerry stepped forward, patted Tony on the shoulder, then waved to Dr. Banner and Apparated away.

After Jerry left, Dr. Banner came to Tony's side and murmured:

"I suddenly realized that maybe the Hulk really is out of control, and calling a wizard for help might be more effective than the anti-Hulk suit we designed."

"That hurts, Hulk!"

Tony's lips twitched, then he replied:

"I think we don't need to add any energy cannons, we can just add a nuclear bomb, that'll definitely blow you up!"

"A nuclear bomb? You can even build a nuclear bomb! No way, that would kill you too, and might also hurt innocent people nearby..."

Dr. Banner immediately shook his head, rejecting the proposal.

Tony, meanwhile, secretly sighed that Dr. Banner truly had absolutely no sense of humor, then turned to the computer in the lab and shouted:

"Jarvis, check the address Jerry left behind and get his family's information. I need to be prepared; we can't afford to mess up the performance!"

After giving the instructions, he scratched his head again:

"I don't know why, but I feel like the name Jerry Carmen is familiar, and the wizard's appearance is also familiar."

"Sir, because you knew him before and even gave him a miniature Mark IV model."

At that moment, Jarvis, the artificial intelligence that heard Tony's voice, answered while retrieving Jerry's data.

Tony froze upon hearing Jarvis's reply:

"How is that possible? Jarvis, how come I know him?"

"Sir, shortly after you revealed your identity, a bank robbery occurred in Queens, New York. To escape capture, the robbers hijacked a school bus. You then had Miss Potts send Mr. Carmen a miniature Mark IV model."

Jarvis immediately retrieved the data from the database and displayed a photo of Jerry, who was only eleven years old at the time, on the virtual image display.

Looking at Jerry's childhood photos, Tony was suddenly reminded of everything that had happened back then:

"So it was him. No wonder those robbers died so tragically back then. He really has always been so righteous and intolerant of evil since he was a child."

Thinking about it, Tony felt that he really did have a connection with wizards.

Five days later, inside the villa.

"Elsa, even though it's vacation time now, you can't be running around outside all day. You still need to take some time to review your lessons!"

Watching Elsa, barefoot and sprawled on the sofa, secretly plotting her summer magic adventure with a notebook, Jerry shook his head helplessly and offered a reminder.

During this time, Elsa has gradually made a name for herself as the "Mahjong Girl," and she is now considered a minor hero in New York.

Moreover, her true identity has remained undiscovered, except by her two close friends, Annie and Susan, whom she voluntarily told.

As for why Elsa's identity was kept so well secret?

That wasn't because Elsa was particularly meticulous; the main credit went to the house-elves who protected her closely and the four magical robot soldiers who guarded her from the air.

The advantage is that even if Jerry doesn't go out to fight crime and focuses on studying magic, he still receives a fixed amount of little red stars every day.

"I know, Jerry! I got in the top fifteen in the class in math on the final exam!"

Elsa turned her head and said with a smug look on her face.

"Okay, that's progress, but you still need to keep trying!"

Jerry really wanted to say that your class only had seventeen people, but at least you weren't last, so you still deserved encouragement.

"Elsa, since you did well on your final exams, here's a gift for you!"

"What gift?"

Upon hearing about the gift, Elsa disregarded her ongoing summer magic adventure plans and jumped up from the sofa.

Jerry took the box out of his pocket and handed it over:

"I found this by chance when I passed by a general store. The owner lied to me and said it was a magic crown left behind by the great magician Carmen, and that wearing it would increase wisdom. Of course, I didn't believe him."

However, seeing that it looked quite nice and wasn't expensive, I bought it!

"Carmen, the Great Magician!"

Elsa's eyes widened immediately upon hearing Jerry's words, and she snatched the box.

Jerry smiled slightly, then looked at Elsa:

"Yeah, and she even shares my last name! I suspect the boss just made it up after asking for my name. Elsa, don't you think so?"

"Of course, there aren't that many magicians in this world, hahaha, hahahahaha."

Elsa immediately burst into laughter.

Now, on the surface, she is no longer a girl obsessed with magic, because she cannot let others associate her with the superhero "Mahjong Girl".

You have to understand that the criminals she often deals with are no good people. It wouldn't be good if her brother and father were implicated if they found out her true identity.

But despite the laughter and commotion, her hands didn't hesitate; she quickly unwrapped the box and took out the magic crown inside.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Elsa was instantly captivated the moment she saw the Ravenclaw tiara.

The entire Ravenclaw crown is shaped like an eagle spreading its wings, with the eagle's head in the very center of the crown and a blue magic gem the size of a longan on its chest.

Below the longan-sized gem, two more identical gems, only smaller, were hanging.

The wings, which form the framework of a crown, are crafted from a magical metal similar to platinum, and each feather on the wings is adorned with dazzling diamonds.

Even disregarding the magical effects of the crown, the crown itself is priceless.

"The gems and diamonds on it are definitely fake, but they look pretty convincing. Do you like them?"

Jerry said, pretending to be serious.

Elsa carefully put down the crown and then threw herself into Jerry's arms.

"Brother, you're so kind!"

"Now you're not calling him Jerry anymore, you're calling him 'brother'?"

Jerry jokingly let go of Elsa.

"I'm going to my room now!"

Releasing Jerry, Elsa grabbed the crown and rushed to her room. She wanted to find the little blue dragon to verify whether the crown was indeed a magical item left behind by the great sorcerer Carmen.

Just then, footsteps sounded at the door; it was Has and Ms. Belle returning from grocery shopping.

Jerry looked up at the time; it was 10 a.m.

"That should be about right."

"Dad, I need to talk to you about something!"

Has had just entered the house carrying groceries and hadn't even had time to change into slippers when he heard Jerry's voice:

"Wait a minute, son, I'll put the groceries in the fridge first, I'll be right there."

"Jerry, tell me, what do you want to talk to Dad about?"

After helping Ms. Belle put all the vegetables into the refrigerator, Has, with his slightly overweight belly, wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down on the sofa opposite Jerry.

It's rare for his son to come to him for advice, so he takes it very seriously.

Jerry smiled and said slowly:

"Well, you know, I've been accepted to Columbia University in Manhattan, so I'd like to take advantage of the summer break to do a summer job to get some experience and earn some pocket money."

"Summer job? Jerry, Dad doesn't think it's necessary. You're already excellent enough. You can relax during the summer vacation. Besides, we're not short of money. Dad has been promoted to branch chief. If there's anything you want, Dad can buy it for you, or just give you the money directly, no problem!"

Haas refused Jerry's suggestion to take a summer job.

He felt that although Jerry was growing fast and had a super high IQ, he was still quite old and there was no need for him to start working and earning money so early, especially since he had only been on vacation for two or three days.

"Dad, you've been promoted to branch chief?"

Upon hearing Haas's answer, Jerry didn't continue the previous topic, but instead asked a question in surprise.

Has immediately stroked the little bit of beard he had deliberately grown and said smugly:

"Haha, he's just been promoted too. He's currently the chief of the Queens Precinct. I was originally planning to tell you the good news during lunch!"

"Was this done by S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Jerry congratulated him with a smile, while secretly making his own guesses.

Hass has been a sheriff for so many years but has never been promoted. The main reason is that he is sometimes too honest and doesn't have any connections.

He was suddenly promoted, and it was a promotion that skipped levels; he became the head of a branch office. It's impossible that no one pushed him forward.

However, it's actually a good thing. As the director, I sit in the office all day, so at least I don't have to go out on fieldwork anymore, which greatly reduces the risk factor.

Moreover, he had originally planned to take some time to ask the Vice President to help Hasti improve his rank in the police department.

"Alright, let's not change the subject, Jerry. I don't agree with you taking a summer job. Let's talk about it after you go to college!"

Finally, Haas still expressed his firm opposition to Jerry's summer job plan.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"You arrived at just the right time!"

Jerry smiled as he heard the doorbell ring.
