Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 56 Fury's Decision

"Don't get agitated. You should know that as a national security agency, some things aren't as simple as you saying there's no danger. At the very least, you should let us know about you. Only by understanding you can we make a judgment!"

Hill reassured and patiently guided him.

Jerry drew his wand, pointed it at a passing mouse, and a beam of magical light shot out, instantly turning it into a stone.

"I will not tell you my true identity. I have seen many movies where government agencies like yours, once they find out my true identity, will lock me up and dissect me like an alien."

And don't try to capture me by force. My magic is no joke; don't blame me if I turn you all to stone or pigs!

Turning a person into a pig is something Jerry's current magical abilities certainly can't do, but he has gained a deeper understanding of transfiguration during this time.

It's still fine when transforming a small animal like a mouse into other objects of roughly the same size.

Transforming within the same substance is not difficult for Jerry, as long as the transformation isn't too large. What he's currently working on is transforming across species.

The reason for saying this is to increase deterrence and, incidentally, to highlight one's own special status.

Hill stared at the living rat on the ground, now turned to stone, and his pupils constricted.

Originally, Jerry was just a kid in her eyes who could fly on a broomstick and had some superpowers. Although such a kid had some abilities, she didn't take him seriously.

Because flying and immobilization are nothing special; many of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s high-tech weapons can do that.

Her colleague, Agent Coulson, owned an antique car called Laura, which was equipped with an advanced flamethrower and could fly many times faster than the little wizard's broom.

However, turning a living rat into stone, and Jerry's claim of turning a person into a pig, are magic feats that science cannot explain.

At least S.H.I.E.L.D.'s current technology can't do that.

Jerry's perceived danger level suddenly increased several times over.

Of course, its value has also increased several times over.

At the same time, she also lamented that these unscrupulous movies were deadly; otherwise, the other party wouldn't have been so wary.

However, after thinking about it, what the other party said wasn't exactly alarmist. As a senior, experienced agent, she knew about many dark aspects of this country.

Many politicians, in particular, are only concerned with their own interests and are indeed not trustworthy.

"Okay, we can leave your true identity alone, but I want to ask you one question: why do you insist on doing good deeds? Is it because you think it's cool, or is there some other reason?"

Upon hearing this, Jerry immediately lowered his head.

Because he was wearing a mask, Hill couldn't see his expression, but he sensed that the other man seemed somewhat downcast.

Using the precise control of his body muscles in Superman mode, Jerry paused for a moment, then slowly raised his head, his eyes slightly red, and replied, word by word:

"Because someone once told me: With great power comes great responsibility!"

With great power comes great responsibility!

Upon hearing Jerry's answer, Hill was startled and repeated it to himself.

"Okay, I understand. I will report your situation to my superiors truthfully. As long as you don't use your abilities to commit crimes, we won't do anything more to you. That's all for today!"

Hill gave Jerry a serious look, then turned and left the warehouse.

"They just left like that, without even inviting me to join S.H.I.E.L.D."

Jerry looked surprised as he watched Hill leave decisively.

He had initially thought that Agent Hill was there to recruit him on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., but it seemed that wasn't the case.

But after thinking about it carefully, it actually makes sense.

After all, Spider-Man had been hanging around Queens for a long time, and S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't recruited him. Later, it was said that Iron Man recruited him as a temporary worker because of special circumstances.

Perhaps in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eyes, he is still just a child. Even if he knows some magic, they would not use child labor unless there are special circumstances.

Perhaps he came here just to find out his true identity.

However, unlike Spider-Man, who is carefree and swings around the city on his webs, only to go straight home through his room window afterward, his identity has long been known to S.H.I.E.L.D.

That's why we had this contact.

Actually, Jerry felt relieved by this outcome.

While there are certainly many opportunities to earn a lot of red stars within S.H.I.E.L.D., they are also extremely dangerous.

Although Fury is the director, he is still subject to the control of politicians at the highest levels of the government, and few of those politicians are good people.

Therefore, Jerry never wanted to join S.H.I.E.L.D.; at most, he was willing to cooperate, the kind of cooperation based on an equal exchange.

The key issue is that his current strength is still too low.

Keep in mind, he hasn't even been to Hell's Kitchen yet.

Don't be fooled by his flying broom and numerous attack spells; if he's ambushed and hit by a hail of bullets, he'll still be done for.

Moreover, the criminals in Hell's Kitchen have quite a few heavy weapons.

Therefore, during the conversation just now, he deliberately used the words of his Uncle Spider from his previous life to mislead Agent Hill, so that the other party could make a good judgment and leave a good impression.

It would be best if S.H.I.E.L.D. treated him the same way they treated Spider-Man.

After he develops and becomes stronger, he can return to Hogwarts and learn important spells such as the Ironclad Charm, Disarming Charm, Apparition Charm, and Disillusionment Charm.

Go and cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D. again, and find opportunities to get involved in more major dangerous events so you can earn more Red Stars.

The brainstorming session was temporarily suspended, and Jerry rode his flying broomstick away from the abandoned warehouse.

Now that we're out here, we should definitely patrol Queens and try to earn some little red stars. We already wasted a whole day yesterday, so we can't afford to waste another day today.

There are not many days left before the cooldown period for him to enter the small world ends.

He wanted to earn as many red stars as possible before entering the small world again, so that he could stay at Hogwarts longer, learn more magic, and improve his magical abilities.

If he remembers correctly, the time between Iron Man's appearance and the first Avengers game wasn't very long.

When a large number of aliens invade New York, it will be a great opportunity to acquire a lot of Little Red Stars. However, if you are not strong enough, you might not even be able to save your own life, let alone Little Red Stars.

Meanwhile, at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York base,

Back at base, Hill relayed the contents of his conversation with Jerry, along with his assessment of Jerry, to Nick Fury at headquarters in Washington.

Upon receiving the report, Fury ordered that the investigation into the wizard's identity be temporarily put aside, and that the main focus be placed on monitoring Greyburn Academy.

Obviously, Dr. Banner, who possesses immense destructive power, is far more dangerous than a wizard who is still a child.
