Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 48 Becoming Famous

"Help! Help!"

Just as Jerry rushed into the fourth floor and activated his superhuman mode, greatly enhancing his five senses, he heard what sounded like a faint cry for help coming from a room not far away.

We dare not be negligent.

With a thought, he rode his flying broomstick and quickly dodged the stones and steel that had fallen off due to the intense burning in the corridor, arriving at a red-hot iron door.

"Full speed ahead!"

A knockback spell sent the loose iron door flying, and Jerry charged into the room through the flames. In the tiled and steamy bathroom, he found a young woman in a bathrobe covering her mouth and nose with a wet towel.

At this point, the woman's eyes were unfocused, possibly due to inhaling some smoke, and her cries for help gradually weakened. It's estimated that if he had arrived any later, she would have fainted and been engulfed by the flames, becoming a corpse.

"Immune to water and fire!"

Jerry cast a water and fire immunity spell on the woman in the bathrobe, then picked her up and placed her on his flying broom, flying out of the room's window while still covered in flames.

"It's up to you now!"

Upon landing, he handed the woman in the bathrobe to the police officer maintaining order. Before the officer could react, he once again rode his flying broomstick into the flames.

These are all little red stars; if we save one less, we'll lose one little red star.

After searching for a while, he found two young men at the elevator entrance. He guessed that they had tried to escape by elevator when the fire broke out, but were knocked down by the thick smoke.

With the Water and Fire Immunity Spell and the Levitation Spell, Jerry grabbed one arm with each hand and rode his flying broomstick out of the flames.

In this way, he went back and forth between the fourth floor, the fifth floor, and the sixth floor, which was already half-burned, rescuing more than twenty residents, men and women, who were trapped by the flames or suffocated by the thick smoke.

Meanwhile, the fire brigade finally arrived, and several fire trucks sprayed water to extinguish the fire, which was eventually brought under control.

After Jerry finally placed the elderly couple, who were hiding on the sixth-floor rooftop and embracing each other in preparation for facing death together, on the ground.

The onlookers and the police officers maintaining order all silently raised their hands and applauded him.

Listening to the grateful applause around him, for a moment, he even felt that it wouldn't be so bad even without the little red star.

However, he quickly shook his head and dismissed the dangerous idea.

He is not truly invincible yet; he is only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. He must not have such a dangerous, self-righteous thought.

Becoming a saint is not something an ordinary person can do; you should take care of yourself first!

"Thank you so much this time. What should I call you, wizard?"

At that moment, a policeman in a sheriff's uniform walked up to Jerry with a grateful expression on his face.

"Has?"

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Jerry paused for a moment, then quickly replied:

"Wizard, I really like that title. I've studied magic since I was a child, all for the sake of doing good and helping others!"

Yes, as a sheriff, Haas would naturally come over when such a large fire broke out in Queens.

"To have such awareness at such a young age is truly admirable!"

Haas first sighed, then looked somewhat troubled:

"However, you'll have to come back to the police station with us; we need to register your identity!"

"I'm sorry, my situation is special, I can't go back with you!"

How could Jerry possibly go back to the police station with Haas to register his identity? With the limited security of a regular police station, even a slightly skilled hacker could easily break in and get his information.

Before Haas could react, Jerry grabbed a flying broom and soared into the sky, disappearing from everyone's sight.

This left Lucy and other reporters, who had finally managed to squeeze in, empty-handed.

Jerry wouldn't give an interview; if it weren't for Haas appearing just now, he would have already retreated on his broomstick.

The more he talks, the more mistakes he makes. He's not a professional spy or a master of psychological analysis. He might accidentally reveal some of his information by saying something he thinks is unimportant.

After Jerry disappeared, a hint of confusion appeared in Haas's eyes:

"Why does this wizard's voice sound so familiar?"

"Captain, what are you saying?"

The players behind Haas, seeing him muttering to himself, curiously peeked over.

"It's nothing, quickly organize ambulances to take the injured to the hospital!"

Banishing the strange thoughts from his mind, Has quickly gave the order to the officer.

"But is that wizard just going to let him go like that? What about Chief George?"

"What can I do? Didn't you see? He can fly! Can he fly? Can we fly? Stop with the nonsense, saving him is the priority. If anything happens, have the chief contact me!"

After leaving the fire scene, Jerry pulled his flying broom high into the air and then opened his attribute panel.

Looking at the more than 3,000 little red stars that had appeared on his attribute panel, a bright smile appeared on his face.

Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. At the fire scene, he saved more than 20 people and earned more than 3,000 red stars, which is more than he earned by patrolling every night for a week.

Sure enough, the bigger the disaster, the more little red stars he could get by participating.

Actually, Jerry once tested that if he created a disaster himself and then took action, he could also get the little red star.

For example, if he sets a building on fire and then goes to rescue people, he can earn little red stars.

However, ever since Jerry learned about this bug, he secretly made a decision that he would never use this bug to farm red stars again, no matter what, because that was the bottom line.

Today he can set fires, then save people and earn little red stars; tomorrow he can justifiably earn little red stars by killing people.

Once Pandora's box is opened, it is difficult to close it again.

Human desires are endless. If one does not know how to properly restrain them, one day he will eventually become a madman who is blinded by power.

At that time, he might be willing to sacrifice his loved ones in exchange for power.

That was something he absolutely did not want to see.

His initial motivation for acquiring power was to protect himself and his loved ones, not to acquire power for the sake of acquiring power itself.

The key point is that nothing stays hidden forever; doing something like this will eventually be discovered, and then he will truly become a major villain.

In the Marvel universe, villains? How many actually survive to the end!

Back in the abandoned warehouse, Jerry stuffed the wizard suit and flying broom into his guitar bag, put on his hat, slung the guitar bag over his shoulder, and carefully avoided the surveillance cameras and crowds before returning to his neighborhood.

However, just as he pushed open the door to go inside, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side.

"Jerry, how could you go out to play alone without me!"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Elsa, who had woken up from her nap and was already fuming because she couldn't find him anywhere in the house.
