This secretary shares the same bald head as Kingpin. But when compared to Kingpin, his figure resembles a tiny bean sprout.
The secretary presented Kingpin with something resembling an iPad after adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses and courteously remarked, "This video was captured by the monitor on the top floor, boss. Those mercenary missions were unsuccessful, and the wizard appears to have taken them away."
Kingpin watched the movie that was playing on the iPad while holding it in his large hands. The film showed Jerry fighting the four mercenaries throughout.
"All of the top mercenary teams in the world failed and were caught. This wizard's strength is exceedingly difficult to overcome."
"Why don't we handle it ourselves, boss? assemble our troops, and use numerous heavy weapons to immediately kill her." The secretary's bald head suggested.
"Don't push yourself. I don't get the impression that this wizard is as straightforward as she appears to be." Kingpin said while waving his hand.
Kingpin is an extremely intelligent man who, by himself, established the entire underground empire. He also possesses full-scale military prowess. He would rather stay hidden and control everything than charge into war.
He won't personally dispatch someone to act until he completely comprehends all of this wizard's capabilities.
"But boss, many of our businesses will be impacted if she stays over every night." The secretary couldn't help but smirk bitterly at this point.
They had all of their in-person transactions during this month disrupted by the wizard, and their human trafficking transactions were repeatedly stopped.
Even though the police who responded to the call for help captured their men, they had some means of escape. However, this was not his preferred method of operation.
After giving some thought, Kingpin gave the following order, "Inform them that all future significant deals will take place outside of Manhattan. Additionally, it should be decided on a daytime rather than a nighttime for the transaction."
Jerry essentially arrived in Manhattan after midnight to fight criminals in accordance with the wizard's rules of action. The issue would momentarily be resolved if they moved to another time.
The Kingpin added, "Now that we know what she looked like, let everyone know. Of course, this is not a long-term solution. I'm interested in learning the genuine identity of this Miss Wizard as well as all of her details."

Kingpin continued, "Even though this girl loves to be a superhero, no matter how powerful she is, she has to have some kind of weakness. I don't care if she is only a child. Find her family and friends. Until then, you know what to do, right?"
"Yes, boss. Understood!" When the secretary heard this, his eyes lit up, and he knew what Kingpin meant.
Despite the wizard's strength, her friends and family cannot possibly match her in power. It will be much simpler to kill her as long as they are able to track out her family and friends.

Jerry entered the room through the window, lifted the Disillusionment effect, and emerged with his figure visible.
"It's almost four, it appears like I'll remain up late tonight."
He shook his head and glanced at the time before pulling out the suitcase and opening it on the floor. He spread his feet out and proceeded to climb the steps inside the suitcase one step at a time.
He needs to be careful because the Polyjuice's duration is still in effect and he is still in Hermione's body.
Four bodies lay on the ground, seemed to be in a deep sleep. It was the group that Jerry joined after casting a Sleeping Charm on them.
"Incarcerous!"
Four ropes shot out of the wand after it waved four times, tightly restraining all four of the victims in a coma on the ground.
Wizards created the Incarcerous Spell, an extended version of the Transfiguration Spell, as a binding spell to deal with magical animals that have a high level of magic resistance.
Many magical animals in the wizarding world have great magic resistance. As a result, spells like Body-Binding and Sleeping Charm are occasionally ineffective against them.
This Incarcerous Spell is essentially difficult to escape from as long as the opponent's power is not exceptionally strong, like the centaur.

The Incarcerous Spell also has the benefit of restraining the enemy while avoiding rendering him silent. It is a great tool to utilize while interrogating someone.
Soon after casting the spell, Jerry felt an odd sensation flow through his body. He then realized that his body had transformed once more, and the familiar body had finally returned.
It turned out that the Polyjuice effect had worn off, and his body had once more assumed its previous form.
"Good thing nothing bad happened to my body."
Jerry couldn't help but smile while touching the entire body. His overall impression was that Hermione's body was far too frail, which gave him great discomfort.
"Rennervate!"
The four individuals who were restrained by the rope slowly opened their eyes as the wand waved four times in succession.
Because of the snake poison on his body, the man in the suit wasn't dead, but his body was still frail. The moment he woke up, he began to watch my surroundings carefully. He couldn't help but exhibit doubts on his face when he met Jerry.
The young man made no attempt to approach him, while the red-haired woman kept a close eye on her surroundings. Even though his body was restrained by the rope, only the bazooka man boldly leaped at the first opportunity, trying to escape. He jumped in Jerry's direction and landed on the ground.
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
The bazooka man was immediately suspended upside down in midair by an invisible force once Jerry casually pointed at him. No matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail.
The other three were also discouraged from making any unexpected movements by this scene. Thus, the kid in front of them, who is clothed identically like the female before him, is also a wizard endowed with magical powers.
The four of them have already been eliminated by a girl, and with the addition of a kid who possesses the same skill, there is very little chance that they will attempt to flee.
"I'll be the one asking you some questions. I'll kill you right now if you dare to lie to me." Jerry appeared cold.
The man in the suit consented on the surface but rolled his eyes when he saw Jerry's appearance. It is quite challenging for them to feel afraid when confronted by an eleven-year-old child's threat. They are currently considering verbally misleading this child.
"What compels you to murder the wizard? Who sent you here?" Jerry scowled but continued to ask directly after observing their expressions.
"My friend. We were coerced, but we are all nice people. Every night, that wizard girl ventured outside to fight criminals. Of course, the criminal group wanted an act of revenge. I don't want any of it, but they kidnapped our family. So…"
The red-haired woman began to cry as the man in the suit was about to start crying. She didn't have the ferocious appearance of someone who had just shot him in the head with a sniper rifle. Instead, she appeared like a vulnerable woman.

Jerry couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth as he noticed that the young man over there began to cry as well.
They recently came face to face with a little girl who had a fierce look and did not spare them when she was on top of the structure. This is definitely the best time to use this kind of trick on him right now.
"You shouldn't cry until a casket is placed next to you."
After picking up his wand, Jerry wasted no time in approaching the ideal candidate for dealing with, "Imperio!"
The young man was transformed into a joyful moron by the Imperius Curse in a matter of seconds. "Who are you, and why did you attempt to kill the wizard?"
The young man quickly smiled and began to speak, "We are the Red Dragonfly Mercenary Squad, one of the top ten mercenary groups in the world. All year long, we accept a variety of assassination missions from all over the world. The job to kill wizards was posted on the dark web a week ago, and since the payment was very big, we accepted it."
"Dark web, Red Dragonfly Squad, and mercenaries. Do you know your employer?" Jerry scowls.
"You need to ask our leader, I'm afraid." The young man responded.
Jerry withdrew his wand and turned to face the man in a suit after observing that the young man didn't know anything. Is it still possible for the man in the suit to cast the Imperius Curse at this point, given how he currently looks?
The man in a suit has a much stronger will than most people because he is a skilled mercenary with a long history of killing people. His pupils shrank when he noticed Jerry's Imperius Curse in action.
"Who is it?" Jerry walked over.
The man in the suit immediately put a smile on his face, "They were anonymous, and I have no idea who they are. But I suppose there's a good chance it should be Kingpin. He is connected to more than half of the criminal activity in Manhattan. You fought his men here every day, and he has suffered the most losses."
The man in the suit gave out all the things he knew and assumed very quickly since nobody wants to have their thoughts controlled.
Jerry wouldn't let him leave. He placed an Imperius Curse on him just to be safe.
However, Jerry didn't anticipate that the Imperius Curse he cast would only hold the man in the suit under control for less than 10 seconds until he forcibly escaped.
It seems that you can actually withstand the Imperius Curse if your willpower is strong enough.
Jerry recalled the information about the Imperius Curse from Quirrell's notes as he stared at the man in the suit who had become normal.
The Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses, has some influence over the caster's thoughts, but it does not have total control.
Even if the Imperius Curse is successfully released, if the controlled person's will is strong enough, it is quite likely to be freed from it. If the Imperius Curse is cast on the same person more than once, it will also develop resistance, which will lead to failure.
Additionally, if the Imperius Curse had been a complete success, the Death Eaters would not have tortured Neville's parents with the Cruciatus Curse during the First Wizarding War.
Although he doesn't now appear to be extremely powerful, the man in the suit in front of him has the potential to lead one of the top ten mercenary teams in the world.
He once resided in the Siberian training camp, endured genetic medical experiments, and had countless body counts. How could someone with that kind of willpower be weak?
Jerry's Imperius Curse was unable to affect him for more than a few seconds because of this.
He didn't focus too much on this, though. When he goes out to fight criminals every day, it is common for him to be targeted because he is a superhero.
He is actually not that interested in the mastermind who is working behind the scenes. He won't really come to the door and shoot them all if it's the underground people in Manhattan.
It's not because he is a good man with a unique ideology like Batman or Spider-Man, but merely because he felt it was a bad idea at this time.
These underground organizations are complex and even have strong connections to top government figures. Simply put, attempting to fix them all is unfeasible.
New groups of the same kind will form even if everything is truly wiped away. This entire world is quite murky. You need to eliminate the majority of the population if you want to entirely address every issue without a shred of evil remaining.
What about his red star? That is the most crucial thing. From a self-interested standpoint was that he actually made Manhattan a place free of criminals.
He won't go out of his way to do anything wrong, but he still needs to receive red stars because this is basically how he got his power. It's quite severe, and the outcome can be like fishing in a dry marsh with no chance of sustainable development in the future.
In the event that this assassination is unsuccessful, what if they strike back later?
From this point forward, everyone will believe that Jerry is a young girl, nobody will be able to discover his true identity, and Haas and Aisha won't be in any danger. They can only focus on attacking Jerry himself.
As Jerry's strength increases, he will only grow more composed in the face of this sort of attack from the underground organization.
"Locomotor Mortis!"
After putting down the bazooka man, he cast the Leg-Locker curse to bind their legs and stop them from moving around inside the suitcase, even though they were also unable to escape.
Jerry exited the suitcase up the stairs, took a network cable from his room to the lawn below, grabbed a laptop out of the suitcase that he had purchased privately from the villa, connected it in, and then stood four people in front of them.
Jerry applied the Imperius Curse to the young man despite the fact that the other four people were still pleading.
Then, using the laptop, the young man asked for the passwords to all of his accounts and sent the vast sum of money contained within to a website account called "Save the Children Foundation."
"Not bad. There are red stars can be gained." Seeing that a lot of red stars in his panel, Jerry nodded in satisfaction.
It is particularly odd that when he donates using his own money, there are no red stars, but when he uses these mercenaries' money forcibly, there are red stars.
Jerry approached the bazooka man after casting the Imperius Curse, disregarding the young man.
Money is the most essential thing to a mercenary. They perform such hazardous labor, frequently straddling the line between life and death. Jerry wants to steal all of their money immediately.
The bazooka man is obviously not as strong-willed as the man in the suit leading them. He later submitted to the Imperius Curse's influence and openly gave him access to all of his finances and secrets.
Report chapter Comments
Jerry approached the leader before the man with the bazooka.
"I see." The man in the suit realizes at this point that he cannot defeat this wizard because he is likewise skilled in magic.
Simply said, he is immune to the opponent's power of mind control, allowing him to keep one or two of the most crucial information while sacrificing a few less crucial ones to play around with first.
As the leader, he has significantly more savings than his followers, yet even if he withdraws a portion of them, they would practically equal the current assets of his followers.
Could he trick the youngster in front of him?
After a short while, Jerry regarded the man in the suit and mumbled, "Are there any more?"
Laughing along with him right away was the man in the suit, "No, this time we genuinely understood what went wrong, and move on. We must change, stop killing people and try to live a nice life."
Not killing people? Jerry had no faith in it at all. This time, he emptied all of their savings. If they let them go, they will head to the dark web to accept jobs in order to hustle for cash even harder.
"But I don't think you've given it everything." Jerry smiled as he regarded the man in the suit.
After being momentarily surprised, the man in the suit instantly experienced a really unpleasant feeling in his heart.
"Let's find out."
He saw that Jerry raised his wand and pointed it at the man in a suit, "Quietus!"
Currently, the top of the suitcase's lid was partially open due to the network cable. He casted the leader a Quietening Charm out of concern that he would shout too loudly and wake up Haas and Aisha.
Jerry cast the Quietening Charm, and then he shouted, "Crucio!"
"Argh!"
The man in the suit's countenance changed suddenly, and an anguish he had never felt before—a pain that seemed to come from his soul—hit him at once and left him feeling as though he was about to pass out in a matter of seconds.
He went through genetic enhancement test in the Siberian training camp before, but this time the pain was a hundred times worse than that one.
His mouth started to scream in terror, but when it finally came out, it was more like a whisper, and his entire appearance was quite weird.
When the other three noticed this, they couldn't help but shiver. They initially thought that they were never considered to be killed. They were not particularly terrified. At most, they believed they would be taken to prison.
Because they already formed an opinion about the Wizard when they accepted this duty. This youngster is incredibly upright and never killed someone.
In other words, even in the worst scenario, they failed to murder the wizard and were captured by him. They were, at most, turned over to the police and imprisoned with other criminals.
People like them cannot be held in prisons, and it is not too difficult for them to escape. The true reason they decided to accept this order despite learning about the wizard's many peculiar powers is likewise this.
They are 70% certain that they can kill the wizard and obtain a good reward based on their original strategy and the evaluation of the wizard's prior abilities.
However, it now appears that the wizard girl is a good person and that the wizard boy, who is equally knowledgeable in magic, is not.
"Any other things?" Jerry questioned the man in the suit once more after breaking the Cruciatus Curse.
"No, for real. Nothing is left of me!"
The man in the suit gritted his teeth. He anticipated that the enemy would stop torturing him in this way.
"Crucio!" Jerry kept raising his wand.
The man in the suit blundered. Jerry had no intention of sparing them and giving them to the cops. How could Jerry let go of these few individuals who came here to kill him, knowing that these few individuals didn't even hesitate to kill a young girl?
They might all have terrible pasts of their own, hope to accumulate enough wealth to retire and live a calm life, or simply have no choice but to be in this line of work. But none of this is related to Jerry in any way.
To earn more red stars, he simply needed to take all of their money and donate them to the "Save the Children Foundation."
"Crucio!"
"Crucio!"
"Crucio!"
Even with his strong will, the man eventually lost it after a few rounds and ultimately opened his mouth to divulge all of his account numbers and passwords.
"Crucio!"
"I've already covered everything with you. I promise there is nothing left at all!" The man in the suit was clearly at his breaking point at this point since tears and snot were streaming down his face.
"I still don't believe you because you lied to me just now. Let's carry out some more rounds." Jerry shrugged and continued the Cruciatus Curse on the man for a few more rounds.
The man in the suit started to flinch and Jerry knew that he finally had enough of it.
"Be honest so that you won't suffer the same fate." Jerry approached the red-haired woman after dealing with the man in the suit.
A shift in the redhead's complexion prompted her to say, "I'll tell you everything, there will be absolutely no hiding, please don't use that on me."
Jerry nodded. Because of what had already occurred, he believed that the red-haired woman should not try to hide anything anymore, therefore he refrained from applying the Imperius nor Cruciatus Curse on her.
After a few rounds, Jerry slowly shut down the laptop after donating the red-haired woman's whole money to the "Save the Children Foundation."
"That's it then. Time to deal with you guys now."
The red-headed woman suddenly thrust her chest out forcefully, as if sensing something, in front of Jerry's gaze, fully exposing her gorgeous shape, which was enhanced by the rope bound.
"Little boy, just let us go. We really don't dare to do it next time. In fact, if you'd like, my sister will stay and serve you for a bit so you may taste something new."
As soon as she was done speaking, her eyes were sparkling as she stuck out her tongue and licked her pretty red lips. Eleven or twelve-year-old boys have already started to become a little naive and impulsive.
As long as the boy standing in front of her considers removing the restrictions placed on her. When he comes near to her body, she then has the courage to strike him.
Jerry looked at the red-haired woman with a hot figure and a beautiful face in front of him, and slowly raised the wand in his hand, "Avada Kedavra!"
The red-haired woman was perfectly hit by the green light that was projected from the wand. The red-haired woman's heart stopped abruptly, and her pupils instantly dilated as if her soul had been ripped from her body in an instant, leaving her without breath.
"Don't you even dare to do that kind of trick, knowing that I'm a child."
How could Jerry have missed what she was trying to do to him when he was facing a woman who used a sniper rifle to shoot him in the head?

"Where am I? Am I dead? Huh, it turns out that I'm dead. I finally died. It doesn't matter if I die. There is no distinction between living and dying in this life."
The red-haired woman started to remember her miserable life in her memory before she was struck by the Killing Curse. His mother fled domestic abuse from her gambling-addicted father. She endured an inhumanly dark life after her father sold her to a casino when she was less than ten years old.
Four years later, she sneakily murdered the man who had purchased her with a knife on the bed, made her way out of the casino to locate her father once more, and shot her father in the head with a gun she had stolen from the owner of the casino.
Originally, she was either arrested by the police and imprisoned her entire life, or she was captured by those in the casino and killed in retaliation. However, a prominent mercenary who was passing by noticed her and carried her covertly out of that town via his own route.
She continued to follow the mercenary after that in order to study combat techniques and sniper marksmanship, eventually perfecting the skill.
Unfortunately, she was deceived by her esteemed teacher during a mission that was of the utmost importance, and she was used as bait. The little heart that had just been healed by her biological father's betrayal was now entirely destroyed.
She resisted the mission and fled with the intention of getting retribution. She finally identified the teacher who received a sizable commission, had a covert wife, and a child after searching for him for five years.
She shot the teacher's wife in the head on Christmas Eve while the family was having fun, then the teacher's four-year-old son, and finally shot the teacher in the limbs, taunted him, then walked away.
She then started to stroll alone among the mercenaries. She would take any mission and kill anyone because of her ruthlessness. She was known as "The Venomous Scorpion" because of her beauty and wicked background.
She actually made excellent money from the job, and she mostly enjoyed the rush of a headshot. It appeared that whether they were adults or youngsters, the target she shot had were the individuals who had harmed her in the past.
She afterward ran across a group led by the man in the suit. She wasn't the only one on this team that had a bad experience, as everyone in that group had one too. They teamed up because they shared the same tasks.
After a long time of getting along, the group gradually bonded more and more. Before they even considered doing this mission, they already decided that once they had enough money to retire, they would try to live a normal life.
Now, it simply seems impossible.
"It would be wonderful if I was born into a typical, everyday family." The red-haired woman's soul gave a final sigh and vanished entirely from the world.
—–
"It appears that going forward, it should be utilized cautiously." Jerry couldn't help but to frown as he observed the four bodies that were lying on the lawn.
The primary goal of casting the Killing Curse is to fervently desire to murder the target. The power of the killing spell increases with the strength of the intention.
Some claim that the wizard's thoughts will progressively turn wicked as a result of using the three unforgivable curses and dark magic frequently.
In fact, this statement is not wrong.
Because most dark magic, in Jerry's opinion, is very cruel. It doesn't imply that casting it will cause mental pollution, but each time you do, you feel a great need to kill and torment the enemy.
There will always be some psychological issues over time.
Of course, it is not insurmountable if your willpower is strong enough. The three Unforgivable Curses were often used by the Death Eaters, and many Aurors, like Moody, are familiar with this magic, yet it is forbidden by law.
Jerry is doing fine right now. After all, he has faced both life and death, and he has no problem killing others.
Although the Killing Curse had a slight effect on his thoughts, it wasn't a major issue. The main issue is that this Killing Curse uses excessive amounts of mana.
He just used four Killing Curses, which is terrifying because it reduced the magic strength in his body by half.
His body can now mobilize significantly more magic power than it could previously thanks to his continued use and practice. He could usually cast hundreds of Full Body Bind Curses or other similar magic spells in quick succession.
But if he uses six or seven of this Killing Curse consistently, it's thought that his magic power will be drained.
Undoubtedly, a curse with such a high-power output that it cannot even be shielded by the Protego Charm also has a high power mana consumption.
It makes sense why those Death Eaters stopped unleashing the Killing Curse while they were engaged in combat. They couldn't handle the mana expenditure if they dared to cast too many spells.
"A person's body continues to exist after death, but their soul does not."
Following the traditional principles of his faith, Jerry instead took a box and a broomstick, left the suitcase again, and eventually arrived at a wasteland in a New York suburb.
"Defodio!"
Simply digging out four deep pits with a magic spell, Jerry poured out the four corpses in the suitcase, and released a body movement spell on the four people respectively, "Locomotor!"
He noticed that the four appeared to have invisible rope ties around their wrists, necks, and knees. They were forced to stand up, but they still had horrible, puppet-like drooping heads. They slid slowly toward their respective graves, their feet hanging limply a few inches above the ground.
If anyone was passing by at the time and happened to observe this scene, they must have believed they had seen a ghost.
When all four of them had entered the grave, Jerry used a moving spell to fill the newly-excavated soil once again before flying back to his house on a broom.
The sky was already gleaming with light at this point. Jerry was obviously going to have trouble falling asleep that night.
But it's not awful, he also acquired a tracking rocket launcher, a sniper rifle, and a lot of armor-piercing bullets, and the number of red stars he got this time was almost equal to the regular amount of five or six days.
Jerry entered the classroom the following day prepared to cast a Muggle-Repelling Charm and fall asleep when he overheard the kids talking excitedly about something.
They were all discussing the reports regarding the wizard's real identity that had been shown on TV and in the morning newspapers as they were all paying close attention.
Many children currently look up to and idolize to the well-known young wizard, therefore they are anxious whenever they hear about him. Particularly the news this time is regarding the wizard's identity.
Even though it was only a candid photograph, it turned out that the wizard was actually a girl.
Nick Fury, who had just arrived in the New York branch, also acquired the most recent details about the wizard at the same moment. But the information in front of him was a lot more specific than what regular people would know.
It also includes some follow-up recordings of the conflict with the four mercenaries who were apprehended by the surveillance in the clothes store and satellites in addition to the photograph obtained by reporter Lucy.
"Hill, it appears that this wizard girl deceived us all."
Report chapter Comments
Nick Fury set the material down and turned to face Agent Hill, who appeared to be grumbling about being tricked but was actually grinning.
In fact, Nick is more content the stronger and more skilled the wizard is. Because of this, the wizard's potential value is higher than he previously thought.
The Avengers need to be as strong as possible in order to combat the threat posed by advanced extraterrestrial civilizations. Especially for a wizard who fights against criminals every day and has justice in his heart.
As senior S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Hawkeye and Black Widow have no issues at all in the current roster of Nick's Avengers. But like Tony Stark, despite having a sense of justice and a willingness to sacrifice, his nature actually goes against what he wants, according to the Black Widow's most recent assessment report.
Additionally, despite being a titan in the defense sector and a super-entrepreneur, he lacks effective weapons for combat.
He shares Dr. Banner's extreme distaste for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military. Despite the Hulk's great power, the issue is he's too strong, making normal communication and control impossible.
This wizard is far superior. S.H.I.E.L.D. is initially tasked with defending the planet and ensuring the security of the earth, so this may be done gradually.
"I was genuinely surprised to learn that she was a little girl. I mistook her voice for a boy when I first heard it." The fact that Hill saw he was laughing was not surprising because he obviously knew Fury well.
Fury waved his hand, "The voice qualities for a youngster of her age are not immediately apparent. It's typical for the voice to change to sound more boyish if she concentrates more. The most crucial thing for me to do right now is to talk to her in person."
Hill gave a nod. After all, changing a person's voice is not difficult. Some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are even capable of voice impersonation, and their renditions are so lifelike that not even technology can distinguish them.
"Director, based on our intel, this Miss Wizard appears to have relocated, since she no longer consistently emerges from that warehouse but now daily randomly flies out of a Manhattan alley. In order to keep an eye on her, it might be necessary to spend the previous night in Manhattan."
The wizard used to frequently visit the empty warehouse in Queens at night, so as long as they got there, they could squat and observe her.
However, they have been monitoring Manhattan every evening for almost a month, and the satellite's location has changed each time. Finding the wizard who is riding a broom is not that easy.
"Well, you guys ought to be able to catch up with the wizard if you go with Phil."

"I feel that teachers' guidance really does help. There are still mistakes even when I learn them by myself."
Jerry scowled as he read the instructions and safety warnings for using the Forgetfulness Charm and False Memory Charm in "Standard Spells, Grade 2" while seated in the corner of the classroom.
He has been studying the spells from the second-grade textbook lately, the Forgetfulness Charm and the False Memory Charm. Like the Disillusionment Charm, they are two incredibly useful spells while having little actual damaging power.
As its name suggests, the Forgetfulness Charm is a spell that has the power to completely erase the target's memory. Wizards frequently employ this spell to erase Muggles' knowledge of magic and keep them from learning about the wizarding world.
In order to implant false memories into the target's mind, the False Memory Charm is a spell that is used alongside the Forgetfulness Charm.
Wizards who are particularly skilled in false memory spells and forgetting spells should apply for the position of amnesticist, which is a specialized position in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes.
This spell may be found in the second-grade textbook. It is not difficult to learn, but it takes some talent to cast them effectively.
Due to the fact that many wizards—even some experienced ones with exceptional strength—cannot add flawless false memories and precisely delete the memories they wish to delete.
In many instances, it could be an amnesiac spell, which causes the target to instantly become stupid and lose all memory. Or a Forgetfulness Charm, while successfully erasing the memory, it also harms the target's brain, causing mental impairment or making them always forgetful.
Just like Neville Longbottom in Gryffindor.
Jerry thought that Neville's situation might also have something to do with the fact that he was too young and had an underdeveloped brain at the time.
As a result, despite having learned the Forgetfulness Charm and the False Memory Charm through independent study, the current scenario is as follows. He is hesitant to use it because an offensive spell could result from using it without the teacher's careful instructions.
"Perhaps I should engage in more physical activity to improve my ability to cast these two spells."
He couldn't help but feel a little irritated at this point. He ought to have employed those four mercenaries to practice the Forgetfulness Charm and False Memory Charm instead of killing them so effortlessly yesterday.
It's a waste. Perhaps he could use the spell on them to change their way of life.
Ring!*
The bell signaling the end of class rang at this precise time, and school was over.
Jerry neatly straightened up the desk a bit, put on his schoolbag, and started to leave the classroom after closing the magic book and deftly tossing it into the small suitcase.
This school's teachers don't have a tendency of putting things off. After class, they move more quickly than the students, so there is no need to wait. Just get your bag and go.
A fashionable young woman with blue curly hair, a short denim skirt, and earrings blocked his path just as he approached the classroom door with her hand on the door frame.
"Jerry, do you have any free time after school? Why don't we go to a fun place?"
"I'm sorry, but I still have other things to do. Perhaps next time!"
Jerry appeared to have anticipated it beforehand. He smiled at her and hurriedly walked away as soon as she blocked the path. He has also established himself as a man of the school ever since his first appearance in the school newspaper at the start of the year.
Even though he was laying low, several students were nevertheless drawn to him because of his attractive appearance and ideal physique. For the third time this month, the senior who was only two grades above him merely stopped him at the classroom entrance and asked him out on a date.
Jerry doesn't have time to play with these kinds of girls. He has to cook, study magic, pick up Aisha from school, and earn red stars. There are numerous things for him to do.

"Hey, I heard that you seem to be up to something recently."
Jerry swiftly exited the school and was on his way to an alley where he planned to cast the Disillusionment Charm and fly his broomstick. He was halted by eight youngsters wearing hip-hop fashion.
"Again, seriously? What is it now?" Jerry couldn't help but twitch as he stared at the teenagers who were clearly the school's seniors.
You will attract many girls if you become popular in school. As a result, some envious people will soon track you down and humiliate you using force and large numbers.
Because they constantly believe that doing so will make men appear strong and powerful and draw the attention of girls, but they are unaware of the pain it will inflict on others.
They may eventually forget it, especially if they engage in this behavior too frequently, but a victim of public bullying will carry a psychological trauma for the rest of their lives.
Because of how cruel the world is, those who hurt people must live with those memories for the rest of their lives.
"Come on." Jerry called out to several teenagers before deciding to enter a remote alley close to the school.
The teenagers were momentarily startled but continued to follow. A particular big boy who appeared concerned couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene among the observers.
He felt bad for the teenagers that followed him rather than for Jerry.
Why you may ask?
He knows how strong Jerry's fists are because he went to elementary school with Jerry in the past. He still struggles to get over Jerry's strength and stomps his head on the ground with his feet.
Originally, he thought that he would be able to avoid him when he came to middle school from such a far place. But on the second day of school, he was surprised to find Jerry in the school newspaper once more.
At that time, he made up his mind that in the three years of middle school, he must be a good student and try his best to graduate while being alive.
As expected, there was a lot of sobbing and shouting not long after the eight teenagers followed Jerry into the alley.
"Argh! Help! Father and mother! Please help!"
The teens were left on the ground sobbing, and Jerry exited the alley with grace while clapping his hands and carrying his school bag.
Even though he is an amateur, he has been practicing in elementary school for a while and has already perfected the method of killing people by beating them to death without leaving a mark.
When he was in elementary school, some classmates complained to the teacher that Jerry beat them.
The teacher naturally set aside those complaints because Jerry is a good student who is famous for his good character and academics and the bad student was more likely to be the perpetrator due to past experiences.
Sometimes Jerry would even get himself some minor wounds that were not serious, and would file a complaint first, so that those mischievous students not only be beaten by him, but also be notified to their parents.

He once more located an empty alley, flew back to the neighborhood of the housing complex on a broomstick, and then waited for Aisha to finish school at the bus stop for her school bus.
He picked up Aisha, greeted his future stepmother Mrs. Belle, and then went home to prepare dinner.
He carried on riding a broomstick to the sky above Manhattan at twelve in the morning.
The assault from yesterday had no impact on him. Instead, he wanted to visit a couple more times so that he could practice the Forgetfulness and False Memory Curse in addition to earning more money and red stars.
However, apparently that kind of good thing is not often.
Jerry felt a little uneasy since it was clear that law and order in Manhattan were considerably better today than they were yesterday. The criminals disappeared, as if some command had been given.
Undoubtedly, it may be the calm before the storm. In a bit in a bad mood and getting ready to go back, Jerry rode his broomstick at three in the morning. Jerry hadn't gotten many red stars.
A weird voice suddenly arose from the west as he was scanning the sky for an appropriate alley to descend into and hide in for a bit.
A red car was approaching him swiftly from five or six hundred meters distant, being propelled by what appeared to be a rocket jet. Jerry approached and could easily see that there were two occupants of the car.
The passenger next to the half-bald middle-aged driver was none other than Maria Hill, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who had previously seen him twice.
"Good evening, Miss Wizard. Is it convenient for us to chat?" Jerry was standing on a broom when Agent Hill waved and shouted at him.
After giving it some thought, Jerry made an "OK" gesture to her. So, Jerry followed them on a broomstick while the red car led the way.
To be safe, he sneakily pulled out a bottle of Polyjuice Potion from the suitcase using a Summoning Charm during the trip, poured it into his mouth under the cover of his thick wizard robe, and did so covertly.
He then turned into Hermione again.
In reality, it is not a major deal even if he does not transform because he is wearing a loose wizard robe, a wizard cap, and a mask that reveals his eyes.
He nevertheless swallowed a bottle of Polyjuice potion, just in case. There were still three bottles left, so it would be a waste not to utilize them now.
After all, Jerry still carries some worries facing a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Particularly when he was working in his prior life, his coworkers informed him that they were filled by people who were qualified to work in the espionage industry.
Jerry actually had no sense of fascination when watching Avengers because he hasn't seen any other Marvel films. He simply thought the special effects were very potent and found it difficult to watch.
However, he works with a coworker who likes Marvel, and in particular, that coworker has the kind of personality that must share good TV shows and movies with you and who he heartily recommends you to watch.
It falls short of the intense joy of being by yourself. As a result, Jerry went to see The Avengers with his coworker. He would visit Jerry to discuss when there were some follow-ups.
Asgard was destroyed, S.H.I.E.L.D. was revealed to be Hydra, Captain America and Iron Man engaged in combat, Thanos snapped his fingers and wiped out half the universe, etc.
Jerry went to the movies to watch it since the story was so intriguing, but Jerry felt that he didn't know the movie's heroes. As a result, he was not really familiar with the Marvel characters, but he did have a vague idea of some significant events that would happen later.

On a remote street in Manhattan. A kid on a broom rapidly landed behind the red car as it was being gently parked.
"That's my colleague Phil Coulson and his car, Lola." Hill mentioned it with a smile after getting out of the car and observing Jerry's interest in the red car and Coulson.
"Greetings, Miss Wizard." Coulson followed suit and extended a very cordial handshake to Jerry.
"Good day, Mr. Coulson." Jerry answered in a Hermione tone. His voice was obviously Hermione's voice at this point because he is currently in Hermione's body.
Sure enough, the voice that Jerry used before was only a disguise.
Hill noticed that Jerry's voice had changed from the last meeting and knew right once that Jerry had been using a different voice as a disguise earlier and was now speaking in his own voice as his true identity had been revealed.
She didn't bother to reveal it, though. Although some things are good to know in your heart, saying them out loud might be awkward.
"I have made it very clear before, Ms. Hill. What else do you want to ask me this time?" Jerry was genuinely bewildered by the sudden appearance of two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
Could it be about why he purposefully revealed his own identity?
Most likely not. Instead of approaching him directly after learning that he is a girl and having seen his photo, they would seek out his genuine details first. Or is it connected to yesterday's mercenary attack?
This is somewhat feasible, but two senior S.H.I.E.L.D. agents shouldn't waste their time looking for a simple mercenary.
"That's right, this time our leader wants to speak with you in person and ask for your assistance." When Hill noticed Jerry's tone of disapproval toward them, she waited for a little before reacting and repeating what she just said.
"Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., that one-eyed man?"
The director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, has impressed Jerry. One is that when you see Avengers One, this guy first appearance is quite noticeable and memorable. He has a black bald head and an eye patch.
The second reason is that the director is frequently referred to by his coworkers as "One-Eyed Man," and after hearing it frequently, he will automatically remember it.
"Then, where is he?" Jerry asked after giving it some thought.
Even though Jerry doesn't want to become a member of the Avengers or be controlled by S.H.I.E.L.D., there are still certain bargains that both parties can agree to.
It appears that there aren't as many red stars in Manhattan that can be gained quickly. It's difficult for him to say no if participating in various S.H.I.E.L.D. operations will earn him a lot of red stars. Since it was a bargain, S.H.I.E.L.D requested his assistance, thus he could make a request of his own.
He should be able to get some useful things from S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Please get in the car and follow us." Coulson reached out in response to Jerry's query, pulled out what appeared to be a car key, and jammed it into the side of an aging-looking car wash business.
Jerry noticed the old car wash shop starting to change in numerous ways like a Transformer right away. A fully automated entrance leading underground soon materialized in front of Jerry.
"Looks like there aren't many differences between magic and technology."
Jerry had a sudden memory of the magical wall when Professor McGonagall had taken him to the Leaky Cauldron and subsequently to Diagon Alley while he was staring at the door of the abandoned car wash shop that had been converted into a base.
The wizards might not have been able to comprehend it if they had no prior exposure to technology when they first encountered this advanced technology. Jerry opened the door, took out the suitcase, and put the broomstick inside before getting into the rear seat.
As they watched Jerry fit such a large broom into such a little suitcase, Coulson and Hill exchanged startled glances.
They were shocked to see Jerry packing mercenaries into the bag in person even though they had already seen the scenario in various photos and videos.
From Lola's exhaust, two flames erupted and sprinted toward the base's door. The old car wash's mechanical entrance was put back in place after it completely vanished.
Roughly five minutes later. After driving through the automated entry, Lola finally came to a stop in a tiny square below ground.
Jerry followed Hill and Coulson through the roughly five gates that demanded fingerprint and eye exam authentication. Jerry finally encountered Nick Fury, the person he had been invited to meet this time.
"Hello, Miss Wizard. I'm S.H.I.E.L.D.'s director, Nick Fury."
In an effort to be more amiable, Nick Fury, who was dressed in a leather jacket and had one eye patch, turned around and greeted Jerry.
Jerry gave Nick Fury a salute as he removed his wizard cap to show his thick brown hair. "Hello, Mr. Fury. Why do you want to meet me?"
"Do you want something to drink? Let's talk calmly while you sit down." Instead of immediately responding to Jerry's query, Nick beckoned for him to take a seat on the sofa next to him.
"If you add some sleeping pills in it, I'm afraid you should just drink it." Jerry said without hesitation after approaching the sofa and sitting down.
It's frightening to think that Director Nick will be afraid of him if, because he actually does resemble an elderly woman with deep characteristics.
Nick was certainly surprised by the remarks, but he didn't focus on it too much and simply explained with a smile.
"You may have misunderstood our S.H.I.E.L.D agency, Miss Wizard. We are a member of the International Security Council and were founded to uphold world peace and deal with certain unique events. "
"We are maintaining the entire globe, while you are preserving peace in a limited area. Therefore, there is no conflict here, and you don't need to be hostile toward us."
When Jerry learned of this, he responded, "I don't understand what you said, Mr. Fury. My philosophy is quite straightforward. I'll use magic to put an end to crime. I can assist you if you need my help. However, if you ask me to join you and carry out your command, I won't comply."
"I'm not an adult yet, and it's against the law for you to use child labor." He added.
Before Fury could respond, Jerry hesitated after finishing his sentence and said, "Also, if you ask me to assist, please be explicit. I won't provide assistance for free, and it will depend on the circumstances. You must provide something in exchange for me."

Jerry has no concern about Nick Fury in the face of issues that the world is facing, such as the earth's problem, disasters, and justice. A child will listen to your arguments if you reason with him, but he is not like other kids.
In addition, he is now requesting something in return.
As long as Jerry's true identity is kept a secret, he currently has enough magical power to make him not particularly terrified of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Even though S.H.I.E.L.D. has a sizable staff, it will be challenging for them to find Jerry if he employs magic to conceal himself and flee.
In this way. Nick Fury ran out of options and failed to produce the desired outcomes. He now recognizes the wizard as someone who doesn't give a damn about those things. She is a child, which is problematic in and of itself because children think differently from adults.
Indeed, he was the only one to worry about, except from his own agents. Thankfully, the wizard is at least willing to help for a specific fee, which is considerably better than other options.
He can consider trust-related issues later. It's preferable to Tony, who has both physical and mental issues, and Dr. Banner, who can only keep track of his whereabouts.
"Okay, I won't push you to join now if you don't want to. This time, I really want you to come since your magic has the ability to heal and I'm going to ask you to save someone."
"Save someone?" A look of doubt flashed in Jerry's eyes.
"Yes, you ought to be familiar with Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man." Nick gave a nod.
"What happened to Iron Man?"
Jerry recalled reading some news that he had come across previously. Senators called Tony Stark to Washington for a trial and demanded that he turn over the iron armor technology to the government.
Then Tony Stark humiliated them in front of everyone. They argued that it poses a military threat at that time as well. Tony was flying through the skies in an iron suit, while Dr. Banner was being pursued by the military and running around, and the government was powerless to stop him.
"He had been poisoned with a very potent poison. We can't fully cure him with the technology we have at the moment. He might not live very long if we can't find a solution." Fury appeared to be a little grave.
"A serious condition?" Jerry recalled that Tony appeared to be well and alive in Avengers 1 and that he did not at all appear to be suffering from poisoning.
If Nick Fury hadn't gotten it wrong, Iron Man might have ultimately found the solution by himself, and he believes the latter should be more plausible.
In that case, should he still help? Of course.
This guy owes himself a life-saving favor, so why not do it? Iron Man is a tech expert, and he's extremely capable of inventing and creating something big since he has both money and background.
Jerry took a moment to reflect, "Even if I lose an arm or a limb, recovery is still possible as I gain strength thanks to my healing magic. However, my healing spell is powerless against poisoning and only works against physical injuries."
In fact, none of the spells he has mastered thus far—or even among the magics he has learned—can help him. Physical wounds are tended to with the Quick Healing Charm.
As he noticed a hint of sadness on Nick's face, Jerry said, "Don't worry, even though my magic can't cure the poison, it doesn't mean I have no other method."
"What do you mean?" Nick Fury glared at Jerry.
Jerry raised his chin and immediately said to himself, "I can not only unleash magic, but I can also develop some magic potions that can detoxify!"
"Magic potions?" Nick appeared perplexed.
"It is a potion that has been refined using magic and a variety of ingredients. You wouldn't understand. You just need to know it can detoxify poison and venom." Jerry grinned wryly.
In the fourth grade, he learned how to produce antidotes, and he can still do it now. If it does, it still works quite well against poisons without magical powers, such as snake venom.
Of course, there are still a few bottles of sophisticated detoxification remedies created by Quirrell in the suitcase if the problem cannot be resolved. Even cursed toxins can be eliminated by advanced detoxification potions.
He thought it ought to be able to address the Iron Man poisoning issue.
"What are your conditions this time?" he questioned Jerry after pausing for a moment to consider.
"Conditions? I frequently read stories about Iron Man on the news. He seems like a good guy, so this time, I'll perform the favor for free." Jerry answered immediately.
The corners of Nick's mouth twitched as he noticed Jerry's carefree expression. He thought Jerry was going to make some unreasonable requests because he was currently so unwilling to assist. But in the end, there were absolutely no restrictions.
He could only sigh, shaking his head, that the wizard was still a child.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Half of today's objective had been accomplished because the wizard had already made a commitment to save Tony.
"Director, a word from Natasha is that Colonel Rhodes and Tony are at home in Los Angeles." Coulson unexpectedly approached at this time and relayed the information that the Black Widow had just urgently delivered.
Tony wanted to treat himself on his birthday, so he pretended to have a falling out with his closest buddy Rhodes and put on the suit designed for Rhodes. However, it turned out that Tony's palladium poisoning had reached 89%, and he knew he would die in a few days.
"Miss Wizard, would you be willing to travel to Los Angeles with us right now?" Nick listened to Coulson's report and then turned to gaze back at Jerry.
Jerry asked, after looking at the time, "Can you take me back by nine?"
Today is Saturday, and now is less than four o'clock. Haas works the night shift. Therefore, his expected return time is half past nine in the morning.
Don't worry about Aisha. As long as you don't wake her up, the young girl can snooze till midday. It won't be a big deal if he can return to New York by nine o'clock.
"Don't worry, we have a fast jet." Nick smiled, he knew that Jerry had already agreed.

They boarded the supersonic vehicle of S.H.I.E.L.D. for more than two hours.
Coulson and Jerry are conversing. Jerry didn't really want to talk to these S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, to be really honest, because he was worried that he could reveal something and cause the other person to doubt his identity.
However, this Coulson is incredibly skilled at conversing, and he has a lot of charm, so Jerry finds it very challenging to reject him. He didn't broach any particularly delicate subjects; instead, he engaged Jerry in some rather banal small talk, which gradually reduced Jerry's alertness.
Miss Wizard, don't you feel uneasy all the while wearing a mask? Jerry sat across from Coulson, who had exactly the perfect amount of curiosity.
After a brief moment of shock, Jerry replied and smiled, "This is my improved magic hats, masks, and wizard robes. My robes can protect me from regular bullets, my magic spells can be more effective with masks, and I can cast spells more frequently with my hat. They're all quite significant. Hence I always wear them."
He has regained his manly body now that the Polyjuice potion's effects have worn off, but removing the mask would reveal it. Even the voice he used to speak now had merely subtly changed his own voice to sound like Hermione.
Coulson nodded in agreement and recalled that Jerry did, in fact, stop the bullet with his wizard robe in the video footage he had previously watched.
"What age is Mr. Coulson this year, by the way? Why do older individuals start to get bald?"
Jerry gazed at Coulson's receding hair and decided what he would do to stop Coulson from thinking about it right now.
Make the other person feel embarrassed when you are in an awkward situation so you can swiftly deflect their focus.
Coulson was startled by the comments, embarrassedly caressed the top of his mostly bald head, and sighed helplessly, "People always experience these minor issues as they reach middle age. After all, I don't really care about them because I'm not young anymore."
Hill, who was on the other side, grinned and shook her head. She is aware that Coulson appears to regularly apply minoxidil lotion and take finasteride capsules.
"Oh, that must be the case. I offer my free Hair Growth Charm to you if you felt that your baldness didn't look nice. It's magic, so you can get your hair to grow back." Jerry said.
Hair Growth Charm is a really easy little spell. It can speed up hair growth, primarily for the purpose of the hair, but it can also be applied to other body areas.
Hogwarts wizards frequently play practical jokes on their students by using the Hair Growth Charm to grow their brows. The Hair Loss Curse is another spell that can get rid of all hair from anywhere on a person's body.
Upon hearing the remarks, Coulson was obviously taken aback. He then gravely turned to face Jerry and said, "Actually, I was just kidding. Are you sure you can do it? What sort of sorcery is used to grow hair?"
Jerry stopped making fun of Coulson and instead pulled out his wand, sending a magic ray at the top of Coulson's head. His half-bald head grew a lot of hair like a dead tree in the spring in an instant.
Coulson's original thinning, withering hair vanished in less than five seconds, to be replaced by a head of golden, waist-length hair.
"Oh, my God, I love this magic!" Coulson believed the anti-hair loss medication he had been on earlier was weak as he stroked his magnificent hair.
When Hill, who was seated next to Coulson, noticed that his friend had hair that was waist-length, his mouth corners began to twitch erratically.
Can you picture what a strange situation it would be for a 40-year-old man with waist-length blonde hair? Particularly now that he was just partially bald.
"Actually, I know both the Hair Loss Curse and the Hair Growth Charm. You can ask me at any time to assist you in losing your hair if you decide you no longer desire it." Jerry made a casual comment after noticing that Coulson was now paying attention to his hair.
Hill didn't really care about it, but this sentence made her eyes light up. There is no need for the Hair Growth Charm because she has thick hair and no issues with hair loss. But hair loss magic is another story.
"Can you really remove it?"
Jerry nodded as he understood Hill's question. He obviously didn't get what Hill was getting at when she asked this question.
The chamber door of the cargo plane was opened following an electronic noise. Nick entered the room with a stunning woman wearing a leopard-print dress who had wavy red hair and a stunning body. Nick hadn't shown up since getting on the plane.
The senior agent Black Widow, who had been posing as Tony's secretary and had been lurking at his side, had been here right after the transport plane touched down in Los Angeles.
The two were stunned when they entered the room and saw Coulson with waist-length hair.
"Natasha, look at my hair. Isn't it gorgeous, director?" Coulson quickly raised his golden hair slightly excitedly when he spotted Nick and Natasha arrive.
Nick couldn't bear to be beaten in front of his devoted old subordinate with a strange expression, so he said, "Very nice, but I suggest that you cut them short, as such a length may influence your eventual performance of the job."
After finishing, he cast a doubtful glance at Hill. Hill informed Nick about Jerry's hair-growth magic for Coulson, leaving Nick dumbfounded and in shock.
Even though magic is an amazing ability, they mainly employed it for hair.
Coulson seems to understand that his appearance was inappropriate after getting over the excitement. He quickly thanked Jerry and exited the room to find something to trim his hair in another room before getting up.
Nick left after giving a quick explanation that he had discovered Tony's present location and that he would reach his goal in about 20 minutes. Nick then headed to the cockpit.
"I'm changing into something new." Black Widow was about to turn around and enter the transport plane's locker area when she murmured something to Hill.
She is currently donning a lengthy dress from Tony's birthday celebration, which is undoubtedly inappropriate for immediate action. She will change back into the black, tight leather jacket for the mission before getting to the destination.
"Natasha, hold on a second." Hill stood up at this point, halted Black Widow, and then grinned as she gazed down at Jerry.
"Now, Miss Wizard, would you mind coming over and doing me a favor like you did for Coulson?"
Jerry briefly felt stunned. He gave Hill a glance. She had gorgeous hair that she didn't lose. Maybe she wanted to grow her hair out longer?
He nodded despite he didn't understand her intention.
It's only a Hair Grow Charm, and the magic isn't really challenging. It is nothing to perform this modest courtesy. Additionally, establishing a connection with these S.H.I.E.L.D. agents could be advantageous in the future.

Jerry blushed as he observed Hill and Black Widow in the plane's locker area, both of whom had totally removed their outerwear.
"Miss Wizard, you claimed to be able to use magic to get rid of hair. Could you please assist me in getting rid of this and this one?"
Hill showed her calf area and armpits. When Black Widow on the side heard the words, she lifted her arms and said, "Do the same to me if you can. To have to do this repeatedly is quite difficult."
Jerry sighed quietly as he turned to face Hill and then Black Widow.
After some time, Hill invited Jerry to assist. It found out that she intended to assist them in shaving their leg and armpit hair using the Hair Loss Curse. In actuality, it is not the only cause of this. They needed to be taken care of regularly.
She frequently needs to assume several identities to infiltrate the enemy, just like the Black Widow, and she also needs to dress attractively to catch the target's eye. She previously broke into Stark Tower undercover because Tony was drawn to her beauty.
Jerry looked a little disapproving, so Hill said with a smile, "Miss Wizard, you are still young, so you're not used to these things for the time being. When you are a few years older, you will have these issues."
Jerry executed multiple Hair Loss Curses while raising his wand, giving the two of them a flawless and perfect magic.
He was a little speechless, but he had to admit that the two female agents' bodies are excellent.
Jerry made a firm decision to leave the changing room after completing the hair removal request and just now entered the room again.
He must have a bottom line in life and control certain unpleasant desires even though he is now seen by everyone as a girl. Otherwise, the Wizard's entire identity will be ruined when the identities are fully revealed in the future.
Of course, he may not be alive when that happens if they knew about it.
——-
After 20 minutes. Outside of Los Angeles, the plane came to a stop in front of a fast food restaurant.
Coulson and Hill remained on the plane, while Nick Fury, Black Widow, and Jerry exited it along with 12 other S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel dressed in black.
"I don't want any strangers to show up around here anytime soon. Natasha, send someone to clean this area. Miss Wizard, you can go to the burger shop in front and wait for us for a while."
Nick spoke to Black Widow and Jerry separately before moving towards Tony, who was sitting in front of the nearby burger joint. When Black Widow heard the words, she nodded, waved her hand, and led the group of about a dozen agents away.
Jerry entered the burger joint unhurriedly, chose a seat, and sat down while he observed an agent inform all the employees. When he looked up, it was just after seven o'clock and the sky was completely lit up.
"I haven't eaten all night; I'm a little hungry."
Jerry, who made fried chicken burgers in front of a burger shop, strolled up to the work table there, pulled out his wand, and waved it around a little. He started to cook independently while standing up as the various utensils and ingredients on the work table appeared to gain consciousness right away.
"Hey, do any of you need something to eat?"
Nick Fury and Tony, who was wearing the Iron Man suit, pulled the door open as Jerry was utilizing cooking magic to prepare lunch.
"Thank you, just give us two cups of coffee." After briefly freezing, Nick instantly resumed his regular state.
The current situation is magical rather than scientific, so it makes perfect sense for the wizard to use magic to prepare food.
On the other side, Tony turned his head to take a startled look at Nick standing next to him, "What is this superpower? This youngster is also a part of your Super people band. Do you still use children as laborers?"
"I'm not with them, I was only asked to lend a hand by them."
Jerry approached the two of them with a tray of food and drink that had been automatically organized, including hamburgers, fried chicken, and coffee.
Nick took a sip of coffee, "It tastes good, thank you."
Tony picked up the coffee as well, but after saying thank you, he whispered, "Today I truly want to drink a glass of milk, even if yesterday I wasn't particularly sober from the hangover."
As Jerry heard this, he turned his attention to the cup Tony was holding, casting a Transfiguration Charm and said, "Okay."
He got a tray and sat down to the side after finishing his sentence. Tony froze as he observed the coffee in his hand change into milk.
If the automated cooking scene in the kitchen earlier caught him off guard, the current scene of coffee turning into milk certainly did.
Nick sat down after giving Tony a shoulder pat, "Not the superpower you thought it would be. This girl is a superhero who has just gained a lot of popularity in New York, a witch with some knowledge of magic. Don't you know?"
"Wizard? That name may be one I've heard before." Tony made a concerted effort to think about it but felt that his hangover-afflicted brain wasn't functioning properly, so he didn't think about it at all.
In fact, Tony wasn't idle over the recent months when the wizard rose to fame. He managed the business, improved the armor's capabilities, received invitations to several lavish events, was summoned to Washington to file a lawsuit, traveled to Monaco to compete in racing contests, etc.
He might have seen the name of the Wizard spoken or glanced over it in the news, but it's unlikely that he put any effort into understanding it thoroughly.
"Is there really a thing as magic in this world?" Tony, a tech expert, finds it difficult to accept magic's supernatural presence.
"It's better not to take too long, since I've cleared out all the nearby areas." Black Widow at this point walked quickly and furiously to them.
"Well, you're fired." Tony observed his secretary enter the room and inform Nick of the circumstance. After giving it some thought, he realized right away that the other two were tricking him.
"That's up to you to decide." Black Widow said with a detached smile.
Given his utter helplessness, Tony could do nothing but turn to face Nick and utter the idiotic words, "I'll say it again, all right. Simply said, I won't be a part of the Super People team you created."
Tony's attitude didn't appear to bother Nick, but he started to educate Tony with a burst of knowledge. At this point, Jerry, who was seated to the side, didn't focus much on Nick and Tony's disagreement. Instead, he has trouble looking at the hamburger and fried chicken on the table.
Why? He discovered an issue, which is that he is completely unable to eat while donning a mask.
He is no longer in Hermione's body, and if he removes his disguise while eating a cheeseburger, he will reveal who he really is.

"Ignore that; let's just complete the work." Jerry used a summoning spell to call out Quirrell's advanced antidote and placed it in front of Tony and Nick before slowly placing the tray into the suitcase.
"May you please take the potion first, then? Don't you realize that letting kids stay up late is bad for their health?"
"What potion?" Tony appeared surprised.
"This Miss Wizard graciously gave me the antidote that could be able to reverse your palladium poisoning." Nick elucidated.
"The fundamental justification is the excellent character of Mr. Stark. To die in such a manner is regrettable." Jerry nodded.
"Thank you, Miss Wizard, but I couldn't take your potion. I've tried all possible mixtures of the components. Palladium poisoning cannot be removed by any element on earth."
He believed that if he tried to treat his palladium poisoning on his own, he would ultimately be unable to do it. He wondered how a child could possibly save him. However, she does appear to have some strong superpowers.
Nick glared and mockingly remarked before Jerry could respond, "I can tell that you haven't tried them all."
"If you don't try, how will you know that you won't die? Furthermore, it took me a lot of priceless herbs and time to create this bottle of detoxifying potion. I'm still somewhat assured." Jerry moved the liquid from the table toward Tony.
Tony picked up the bottle, examined the mysterious liquid inside that resembled amber, thought back to the magic that was currently capable of changing matter, hesitated for a moment, and then ultimately removed the cork before gulping the liquid down.
A cloud of hot air rapidly ascended from his abdomen after he drank the potion, and it then dispersed into his internal organs, limbs, and bones. In the same instant, the palladium element's green traces that had been gradually destroying his body vanished.
"Argh!" Tony now experienced a sharp discomfort in his neck. It revealed that Black Widow stabbed his neck with a blood test device for palladium poisoning.
"The detoxification is finished, and there is no palladium element present."
"Is it completely recovered?" Tony pointed at his index finger once more as he manually adjusted the armor on his hand while holding the tester in Black Widow's grasp.
As Tony saw the identical test result as before, he couldn't help but display a somewhat perplexed expression. He initially believed that he would pass away, much like a cancer patient, and as a result, he donated all the collected.
He started to lose hope in himself and made Pepper upset by purposely making out with the new secretary. He wanted her to stop loving him so that she wouldn't be sad in the future. His pal received all he had, even his iron armor.
In general, he is still extremely content. The fact that a youngster could find a solution despite his best efforts to find a cure upset him a little. Nonetheless, Jerry saved his life, and for that, he is eternally grateful.
You know, he already gave Pepper control of all of Stark Industry's businesses. In the future, Pepper will marry someone else, and that person will own both Pepper's lover and a sizable portion of Stark Industry.
"Thank you so much for saving me, Miss Wizard. You can get in touch with me whenever you need my assistance in the future, but right now, I need to depart immediately due to an important matter."
Tony decided that in order to win Pepper back, he needed to take off right away to find Pepper and explain the situation to her.
"Hold on, you can't go yet. Even though your poison is gone, you will still be poisoned as long as you wear the iron suit if you can't locate something to replace the palladium element." Nick pushed Iron Man to the ground as he was about to stand up.
Jerry promptly raised his hand as well, saying, "In fact, it's difficult to locate the ingredients for preparing that powerful antidote potion. It will take a while to make it since I just have one bottle right now."
He still has a few bottles of antidote potions in the suitcase, but he isn't a rich boy, so he can't give them all to him. Giving a bottle of potion that can save a life is something amazing, but giving a second and third bottle for free is another story.
In other words, Tony wouldn't have been poisoned to death if it weren't for his potion, and he only used this as an occasion for an opportunity. It would never end if he actually kept giving Tony potions, preventing him from looking into the root problem.
Without Iron Man, there would be an issue later on when the army of Thanos arrived.
After being shocked by the comments, Tony quietly considered them for a time before sitting down once more. He will restart the countdown to death if he activates the iron suit since the little arc reactor on his chest will undoubtedly input the palladium element into his body.
"Before he passed away, your father, Mr. Howard, left you certain items. I believe it will be beneficial for you to locate new components to replace them. You should return to your mansion and carefully study it." A dozen agents rushed in and swiftly surrounded Tony, as Nick explained.
"Alright." Tony is no match for these dozen or so elite agents now that he can't use the iron suit, thus what Nick Fury suggested is indeed realistic.
He needs to locate elements that can replace "palladium" if he still intends to wear an iron suit and go about as Iron Man.
"Okay, can we go back now?" Jerry urged while standing up.
There is no way he could fly back alone if his Nimbus 2000 is not as fast as a supersonic plane.
The Nimbus 2000 can travel at a top speed of about 200 km/h. The flight from Los Angeles to New York is expected to take more than ten hours. Haas and Aisha will discover his disappearance by that point and it will be a bit problematic.
It would appear that he must find a means to master Apparation quickly or discover how to create Portkeys and construct a Floo Network when he has the time.
Otherwise, relying only on the broomstick, the speed is still inferior to the plane and Tony's iron armor, even if you get the quickest Firebolt in the future. The Firebolt was traveling at, if he remembered correctly, about 250 kilometers per hour.

Los Angeles, Tony's mansion.
Black Widow informs Nick, who is speaking to Tony, "Agent Hill reported that Miss Wizard has been securely sent back to Manhattan."
Tony was looking at Nick when he nodded and said, "Your father is far from what you imagined. He was one of the members who established S.H.I.E.L.D. He also left this box for you. Unlock it, and maybe you can solve all the problems." Nick then pointed to the large box with "Howard Stark's belongings" written on it under his feet.
Nick looked at his watch as he stood up after concluding his sentence, "You continue to examine this box even though it is becoming late and I still have other things to do. I'll allow Coulson in, and he'll be watching over you. And Natasha, she'll keep working as a covert agent for Stark Industries."
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about? I have no idea what you're referring to. How do you open this? Moreover, you cannot limit my freedom…"
Tony briefly lost his composure after hearing Nick's statements. But Nick gave him a cold stare, turned his head away, and completely disregarded him. Even when Nick left, Black Widow politely reminded Tony that all communications had been cut off.
"Okay, Agent Coulson? You seem a little different from the last time we met." Tony was forced to talk to Coulson after Nick, and Black Widow left.
"This is also due to the power of that wizard girl." Coulson said with pride as he touched the hairline on his forehead.
Tony bowed, "Wow, that's amazing. It appears that her magic can make hair grow. By the way, after a brief break from physical training, I'll start my research in the basement. Send your men down to get me some food or drinks if you can."
Coulson quickly saw through Tony's fleeting thoughts. He said, "Sorry, Mr. Stark, but this is not my responsibility. Director Fury gave me the directive to use all measures necessary to keep you here. I'll have to stop you if you try to pull any tricks."
———
Evening.
"You mean no youngster with the appearance of the wizard has been found after checking through all the registration information in New York?" Nick Fury asked Hill in shock.
"Yes, unless she is a stowaway, her information won't be found. Nonetheless, the likelihood of this is quite small." Hill reported.
The majority of the smugglers are typically Hispanics and foreigners, while the wizard is plainly American or more British based on behavior and appearance.
Fury nodded in response to Hill's question, "Is there any gain from this night's observation?"
It turned out that while the wizard was primarily requested to assist this time, Nick also quietly advised Hill to pay close attention to the wizard's every move in order to learn more about him from the intricacies.
Hill responded after gathering her thoughts, "Overall, there isn't a problem. Yet, I'm unable to determine how many weird magics she has mastered. One thing, though, I can't seem to figure out."
"Which point?" Nick frowned.
"Coulson questioned the wizard on the plane as to why she had always to wear a hat and mask. The wizard responded by saying that, like her wizard robe, the mask and hat are essential magical accouterments that can both aid in magic and combat." Said Hill.
"Her wizard's robe can deflect bullets and even protect her from sniper rifle shots that can penetrate armor. The helmet and mask have additional purposes, so it makes sense." Fury nodded.
"But Director, if her hat and mask were that crucial, why didn't she go get them when she was struck by armor-piercing bullets when she was thrown to the store?"
"The wizard doesn't seem like the kind of person who gets easily irritated. Yet, it's possible that she was too upset at the moment to remember."
"You mean, what the wizard exhibited at the moment may not necessarily be her genuine appearance, thus she maintained wearing a mask afterward?" Fury was quick to pick up on Hill's possible meaning.
"I simply believe it is doable. After all, she has incredible magic. It could be able to alter her look, similar to our Photostatic Veil momentarily."
Hill, who is Nick's most powerful aide, is aware that S.H.I.E.L.D. has a unique gadget called the Photostatic Veil that can create a virtual image on the wearer's face that can be faked and changed into anyone's appearance.
With all the magic the wizard knew, perhaps there was one that might momentarily alter their appearance.
Before saying, Nick was silent for a time, "It will be challenging to manage if this is the case. This logic suggests that the wizard's gender and age may not be genuine and may instead be a result of magic. It will be exceedingly challenging to determine her genuine identity in this way."
The wizard has incredible magic. She doesn't have always to wear a mask because it truly has the power to alter everything.
Furthermore, regardless of whether the wizard is a man or woman, an old man or a child, they all meet the requirements of an Avenger in his heart based on her present actions and the conclusions drawn from various observations.
It will annoy the wizard when she is found, rather than continuing to use energy to investigate the wizard's true identity. It's best to communicate with the wizard more frequently and earn her trust over time. The wizard will eventually open up to them.
Fury's chemistry with the wizard has improved to a new level as a result of this time's successful rescue of Tony using potions and various magics. They won't be able to ask the wizard for assistance the following time if they annoy her.
"All right, let's put off figuring out who the wizard really is for the time being."
"Well, Director, I do have one more report for you." Hill nodded before presenting Nick Fury with another document.
The document, which included some recent data on keeping an eye on Dr. Banner, was taken by Nick. However, he focused on one of the reports.
The Hulk appeared and angrily crushed the glacier after Dr. Banner's attempt at suicide at the North Pole failed. Then, in the melting glacier, a Russian oil exploration crew discovered what they believed to be a World War II fighter plane.
Currently, after analyzing the images taken by experts, it can be seen that the fighter plane deep inside the ice is quite similar to the one Captain America was operating at the time.

The sky above a prison in New York at two in the morning.
Jerry, riding a broomstick and having used the Disillusionment Charm, couldn't help but grumble, "Manhattan hasn't been operating lately. I can only obtain a few red stars now. It appears that I have no choice but to try here."
Jerry has recently discovered that Manhattan's crime rate has significantly fallen, which has resulted in significantly slower growth of his red star than in the past.
For two hours, he strolled across Manhattan, which is worse than other parts of New York in terms of crime. He will run out of red star sources if things continue in this manner.
Now that he is learning magic every day, it consumes a lot of red stars.
When the upgrade is finished, he still needs to set aside enough red stars for the First and Second Worlds.
He changed his mind and chose to look for a new city instead of staying in Manhattan for the time being. He focused his attention first on the criminals who were jailed.
Prior to this, he believed that since good deeds could earn red stars, then helping the criminals in the prison would result in the same.
You must be aware that only a small portion of the United States, including the current state of New York, has a death sentence.
That is to say, even if you do a horrible crime that offends both people and gods, you will most likely spend the rest of your life behind bars. With good intentions, Jerry came to assist them in ending their wicked life, but red stars must first be acquired.
He had never attempted this previously since he lacked the magical power to enter a prison with heavy security without being seen. However, while some offenders in prison may be innocent until proven guilty, others may actually deserve to die.
He could inadvertently hurt a good person, which would be awkward and not very good, if he acts hastily before learning the Imperius Curse.
But now, he doesn't have that worry at all.
The Imperius Curse can precisely ascertain the criminal's actual crime scene, while the Disillusionment Charm can secretly enter a room and Freeze Charm briefly disable electrical devices. The Forgetfulness and False Memory Spell might then be practiced before the culprits are put to death.
"Alohomora!"
When Jerry reached the iron door closest to him after landing and packing the broom into the suitcase, he waved his wand in front of it, causing the electronic lock to shake twice and the door to open magically.
Not only can the unlocking spell open standard physical mechanical locks, but it can also open more sophisticated locks like electronic, fingerprint, and eye scanner locks.
They were essentially asleep at this point, with the exception of the dozen or so prison guards who were on night patrol. A middle-aged jail guard was closely trailed by Jerry, who was casting the Disillusionment Charm, as he subtly cast the Imperius Curse on him.
The middle-aged prison guard gladly brought Jerry to the prison's holding area while under the influence of the Imperius Curse.
With the exception of one death row criminal, 29 criminals serving life sentences in prison at this time had all turned into complete idiots and had lost all memory.
Jerry initially intended to kill each of these criminals, but after learning that doing so was comparable to applying the Forgetfulness Curse to transform the criminals into idiots, he decided against it.
After all, it would likely garner a lot of attention if thirty criminals died unexpectedly in the prison. Yet, if they simply turned stupid, the warden probably wouldn't make matters worse in an effort to make up for what happened.
They are all criminals who will be imprisoned for life. Whether they are stupid or not doesn't seem to matter much as long as they don't die in their cells.
Jerry had intended to return home and sleep after gathering a sizable amount of red stars, but midway through the flight, he had an idea, turned his head, and flew towards the next prison location.
It would be better if he only attempted it once. It would be challenging for him to act again if they had knowledge of the problem. Simply put, he needs to spend one night cleaning out all the prisons before anyone reacts so that, even if something bad happens, he won't have to worry about it.
He won't have to go to prison anymore and he won't have to worry about someone staying in jail or prison for him because doing this will help him get red stars.
He merely had to sleep through the night. He grew accustomed to it and stopped staying up late during this period in favor of sleeping in during the daytime hours when he was in class.
Jerry continued to remain up until about seven in the morning, at which point he dragged his worn-out body back to his room.
In one night, he cleaned every prison in New York. Even though he was exhausted, the number of red stars was really not low.
The amount is similar to the total of the red stars he got this time in Manhattan.
He would have nearly passed out from exhaustion if cities like Washington and Los Angeles weren't too far away from him and he couldn't fly back and forth on a broomstick in a single night to visit all the prisons there.
His largest accomplishment is that through constant testing, he was able to perfect the False Memory Charm and the Forgetfulness Curse. The saying "practice makes perfect" certainly holds true for the study of magic.
"Seventy thousand, not bad."
Jerry nodded quietly in the kitchen as he prepared breakfast using magic while examining the quantity of his current little red stars on the panel. To save roughly 100,000 red stars before the panel update is finished is his current objective.
He notices that when he uses the "Refreshing" more frequently, his body seems to have become accustomed to it, and the side effects are diminishing with each use.
He also believed that if he kept using it so frequently, eventually his mode will convert into a normal condition. Even if it were left on all the time, there wouldn't be any issues.
However, the ensuing problem is the consumption of red stars. The red star will be consumed more quickly the longer the "Refreshing" is employed.
He used to eat between four and five hundred red stars every day, but today he uses between five and six hundred. He would add an additional hundred if he used in that another world.
In other words, if he enters the "Harry Potter" world and does not save enough 100,000 red stars, he may not finish reading in the second part of the semester and will return to the regular world.
The second world will also be made available after the panel has been upgraded.
What the second world will look like is unclear. He might have to travel to the second world and stay there for a time if the magic contained therein is really valuable.
Jerry was thinking about the second magical world when all of a sudden, he looked at the panel and was astounded. It turned out that the panel abruptly unveiled two words at this point.
[UPGRADE SUCCESSFUL]
Immediately below, there is a line that says.
[The Second World has been prepared successfully, please enter and check]
Report chapter Comments
With the moving spell, he relocated the entire breakfast that had been cooked to the dining table. Aisha was still deep asleep, so Jerry went back to his room first and started checking the upgraded panel instead of waking her up.
After the upgrade, the panel hardly underwent any changes except for the addition of a second world button alongside the first world button.
Then, there are a few additional new contents in the introduction to the panel feature. First off, Jerry can bring living things here as long as he is willing, just like the tip before the upgrade.
It can be transported between the parallel and primary world as well as between the parallel and primary world. Jerry is ecstatic about this.
He is currently most concerned about the possibility that Haas and Aisha's safety may not be guaranteed if one day his name is made public.
Although he has taken many precautions, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Several things are not planned by you, and will be implemented perfectly according to your plan. There will always be some unexpected accidents.
For instance, he had never worked as a secret agent and had no formal training in lurking or disguising himself, thus it was inevitable that he would have defects in some minor details that he had overlooked.
He is limited to using the knowledge gap, the magic he has learned, and the panel's capacity to create additional preparations. Even if there is a serious issue, there is still time to remedy it as long as he has enough time.
When he becomes more powerful in the "Harry Potter" world, he will be able to find a way to summon two house elves using his ability to carry creatures.
On the one hand, it can assist him with household chores, but on the other side, it can also ensure Haas and Aisha's security. You should be aware that while house elves are not as strong as top wizards, they are still stronger than the majority of adult wizards.
They are adept at all forms of elf magic and can cast spells silently without the use of a stick. They are also fiercely loyal. They will be willing to give their lives for you if you treat them better.
In the wizarding world, several magical animals, in addition to house elves also have unique talents. They would make useful helpers if they could be domesticated and brought across.
The introduction to the second world is a crucial element in addition to the capacity to transport living things.
The second world is the same as the first world. After the main world cools down for one month, you can enter as long as you have red stars. After entering, you will consume 100 little red stars every day.
When entering, the time of the main world will also be frozen.
But the difference is that after entering the world, although the time in the main world froze, the time in the other world will start to flow normally.
The time in the main world will be frozen if Jerry enters the second world this time, but the time that was first frozen in the "Harry Potter" world will flow normally.
One month will pass in the first world if he stays there for a month, and a year will pass in the first world if he stays there for a year.
The good news is that following this upgrade, he can more easily manage the amount of time he spends in the parallel world. The red stars don't have to run out before he can go back. He can do it whenever he wants as long as he has the desire.
Simply said, he must wait a month for the parallel world to cool down before attempting to enter once more.
For instance, Jerry could still get back to the main world after spending a week in the second world if he had 70,000–80,000 red stars in his possession. After another month has passed, he will have the option of returning to the first or second world.
Jerry read the introductions to each of the features, and then he started thinking. He didn't anticipate that when he entered one of the worlds, time would not be frozen but rather flow normally in the other world.
He paused a little because of this. He is still studying and has a lot to learn at this point because all the foundations of his magical abilities now exist in the Harry Potter world.
Junior wizards would do well to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He would miss the start of school if he remained in the second world for an extended period of time, which would result in his expulsion from school, which would be a major setback.
The fact is that he is still unsure of the nature of this second world's magic. Questions remain regarding its systematic inheritance, level of strength, and other factors.
"I should give it some careful thought and decide at night."
Jerry set aside all of his ideas for the moment and decided to give them careful thought when he went to school after hearing the sound of the door opening from the outside and realizing that his father had woken up.
He needs to come up with a solution that would give him the best of both worlds because this is no little matter. Also, he remained up all night yesterday, so today he needs to catch up on sleep.
—
It is ten o'clock now.
Jerry changed out of his pajamas, put on some comfortable clothing, grabbed his suitcase and wand, and then pressed the button to enter the second world.
After reflecting for a day, he concluded that the second world still needed to be explored. Before deciding what to do next, at least understand the type of world that this second world is.
He needn't worry about Hogwarts if the magic of this second world is extremely strong or much stronger than the magic of the "Harry Potter" world.
In the end, whether he attends school or not is irrelevant. What matters is that he gains more strength. If not, or almost, he continues to concentrate on the "Harry Potter" world because he has some historical ties to Hogwarts.
During the Hogwarts break, he can progressively delve into the second world. He came back on Christmas Day, just over a week before Hogwarts officially opened.
He must, of course, wait before making a decision. It might not be a week if the first scenario is actually met.
Like every time he crossed, the main world went frozen as Jerry clicked to enter the second world, and he promptly lost consciousness.
"This time, I didn't set up an identity."
Jerry regained consciousness and discovered himself in an empty alley, his clothing remained the same, and there are no implanted memories.
Obviously, his whole identity was directly thrown into this second world.
He recalled that while exploring the "Harry Potter" world, he not only acquired wizard blood but also set up legal status in an orphanage.
Maybe new users just receive that benefit.
His legal standing is not a major issue, though, because of his current magical power. Jerry couldn't help but exhibit a look of surprise on his face as he emerged from the lane and peered left and right at the nearby structures.
"Where am I? isn't this New York?"
Report chapter Comments
Every night, Jerry rides a broomstick throughout New York and has a thorough understanding of the city. Therefore, as he emerged from the alley, he instantly realized that he was on a specific street in Manhattan, New York.
Simply put, several characteristics between this street and the street in New York in the real world seem to be different. However, other famous structures have remained the same.
"I'm sorry, but is this New York?" Jerry asked the blonde girl passing by very kindly, reaching out to halt her.
The girl appeared to be a student who was still in college. She was around eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a red scarf, a high-grade gray coat, and black fishnet stockings.
She gave the eleven or twelve-year-old youngster in front of her an odd look, knelt down, and softly said, "Kid, this is New York. Are you lost? Why are you alone outside at this time of night? Do you need me to make a police call?"
"No. But thank you, ma'am. Can I tell what year it is right now?" Jerry wasn't prepared to ask someone casually and encounter a kind individual.
"Of course, it's 2010."
When Jerry heard the words, he exhaled in relief. 2010 is not the year in the main world. From his pocket, he withdrew a few dollars, which he then placed in the hands of the blonde girl.
"Thank you, consider this a small gift from me." The blonde girl was momentarily dumbfounded as she glanced at the banknotes in her hand.
The person who only asked her that question and offered her some money made her appear like a street girl.
"Hey, where did you even come from?"
The girl quickly realized that the young kid had vanished somewhere after looking up in the direction he was leaving.
She sped home after shivering and glancing at the nearly empty streets in the middle of the night.
Jerry, who was riding a broomstick and wearing a Disillusionment Charm, paid close attention to some of the lower, seedier streets before saying, "Sure enough, no matter which world New York is in, crimes in the city are indispensable."
Later, in the alleys, Jerry discovered a cell phone in the pocket of the thief, who had been rendered unconscious by the Sleeping Charm. He then started browsing the internet on the phone.
The quickest method to find out what kind of world we live in in a modern city is, of course, to go online.
First off, it is obvious that magic exists in this world because it is explicitly mentioned in the panel's function introduction that the second world is a magical world.
It is improbable that there are no hints at all in this world. Maybe he may soon be able to discover some hints about magic from some news, given how far technology has come.
An hour later.
"What in the world? How could something be so ordinary?" Jerry silently placed his phone away. There was absolutely no indication of magic in the news. It was all just regular news.
It's not even comparable to the main world, where some absurd technical phenomena don't really exist. It seems like a typical and everyday environment, much like in his prior life.
After giving it some thought, he realizes that he can only make a foolish attempt to discover it on his own since he can't find it in the news.
Jerry has decided to take a thorough look around New York tonight to see if he can locate any magic-related hints. He will once more take to the broomstick and switch on "Refreshing" to do this.
"Hey, why are there wolves in this city?"
But, less than five minutes after beginning his patrol, he discovered five powerful gray wolves frantically pursuing a young man with curly hair in the nearby street.
When something goes wrong, a monster must exist. Jerry is not terrified of the situation, but he is concerned there won't be one at all, which this week will have been a complete waste. Jerry accelerated as he descended on his broomstick.
Jerry landed, retracted the broomstick, took off the Disillusionment Charm, and approached the boy with the curly hair.
"Run, there are wolves behind you!" The young man with curly hair noticed the deserted street, and when a boy showed up there, he started running erratically.
When the young man with curly hair noticed that Jerry was unconcerned, he clumsily pulled over the lid of the roadside garbage can and stood in front of him. He appeared to be planning a confrontation with those gray wolves.
"What is he up to?" Jerry couldn't help but give the young man with curly hair standing in front of him a weird look.
"These are not dogs. You can see clearly. They are wolves, wolves that can eat people. Now I stop them, run away!" The young man with curly hair frantically yelled to Jerry behind him as he waved the trash can lid in his hand.
The five gray wolves immediately barred their teeth and charged at the curly-haired young man brutally as they saw him stop.
When Jerry saw this, he waved his wand, and twelve precise arrows shot out of thin air in the direction of many gray wolves.
"Aurgh!"
The five gray wolves quickly transformed into five pages of gray wolf pictures. Jerry's eyes glowed as he noticed the gray wolf transformed into a book page.
Because this strange occurrence is most likely a new form of magic for him.
"Are you a wizard as well?" The young man with curly hair exclaimed as soon as he noticed Jerry swinging a wooden stick.
"As well? Have you encountered any wizards?" Jerry turned to face the young man with curly hair.
The young man with curly hair pointed to a middle-aged man walking slowly in the distance, clutching a wand with blue stones, and said, "He's a wizard. Just now, he changed those beasts. He's not friendly. We'd better leave right away!"
"I think you're right. He seems doesn't want us to escape from here." Jerry discovered the middle-aged man walking when he was in a "Refreshing" state.
In reality, his original strategy was to avoid battle with wizards in this realm before learning their capabilities.
However, he didn't intend to give him a chance to explain what was happening. Without uttering a word, he waved his wand in front of Jerry and the young man with curly hair to release a ball of flame after watching Jerry using the Arrow-Shooting Spell to save him.
"Duro!" Jerry saw the flames flying and grabbed the garbage can lid in the curly-haired young man's hands, casting a Hardening Spell to block the flames.
As the middle-aged man noticed this, he opened his coat and waved his wand, sending the four daggers concealed beneath it flying in the direction of Jerry and the man with curly hair.
Furthermore, the dagger's flight path appeared to be under the direction of the middle-aged man because it flexibly avoided the hard garbage cover in Jerry's hand, and shot at the curly-haired kid from the left and Jerry from the right.

"It's not over yet, is it?"
Jerry was also assaulted since he witnessed the middle-aged man attacking him repeatedly and being aggressive with his movements. Although he has never attacked, he simply didn't want to develop a bad relationship with the wizards here when he first arrived.
Yet, it was clear that the wizard in front of him was not kind despite attacking a child and a normal young man.
Jerry found that the magic displayed by the wizard on the opposite side did not give him an irresistible feeling. He felt that if he shot with all his strength, it was not impossible for him to win.
Put the enemy on the ground and then use the Cruciatus and Imperius Curse in combination if that doesn't work.
Holding the garbage can lid with his left hand. He flung the two daggers towards the middle-aged man using the right hand to cast a repelling spell on the two daggers that were stabbing at the young man.
Before the middle-aged man was assaulted once more after the crisis had been momentarily addressed, Jerry's wand was already pointing in his direction.
Rapidly moving toward the middle-aged man was a blue magic light. It was clear that the middle-aged man had fought in numerous battles. He manipulated the garbage can next to him to block the blue light even though he was unaware of its strength and waved the magic wand in his palm.
"What a powerful magic spell." Jerry quietly exclaimed as he observed the middle-aged man shift the trash can to disrupt his spell.
He can also move the thing with a spell. However, the one he learned to do so can only be viewed as a levitation spell. Although it can move items, the speed at which they move varies. If it is used to fight, it is estimated that ordinary people can easily dodge it.
It is clear that the magic cast by the middle-aged man on the opposite side is not a typical spell. It is clear that the throwing knife and the garbage can moving at this moment were the result of a magic spell designed specifically for combat.
"Something is approaching!"
Jerry's ears began to twitch at this same instant, and it became clear that something invisible on the other side was shooting at them through the air at a high rate of speed. He swiftly pushed the young man away and sidestepped the situation.
An invisible force surged over the area where Jerry and the young man had recently been standing before slamming into the street lamp by the side of the road and completely bending it.
"An enhanced version of the repelling spell?" Like the Repelling Spell he had just used, which was a repelling force from the wand, Jerry could plainly feel the attack of this unseen power.
The one on the other side is more akin to an air cannon, capable of making an undetectable attack from a great distance. This would have gravely hurt him if it weren't for his five senses being in a "Refreshing" state, which allowed him to recognize the oddness of the air.
"Think you're the only one who experienced magic assaults that are invisible and without a trace, huh?"
Jerry, who was a little terrified, raised his wand and prepared to cast a Sectumsempra Curse after dodging the opponent's magic.
But just then, a young man interrupted him from casting his charm and said, "There's a bird!"
It turned out that at this same moment, in the skies behind the middle-aged man, a massive iron eagle suddenly flew in the air, and a man wearing a leather jacket was standing on the back of that gigantic iron eagle.
He observed that the man formed a fighting stance at this very moment, put his hands together, and even fired a powerful water blast directly toward the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was struck by the water blast immediately after turning his head and failing to respond swiftly. He then appeared to have been the target of a holding spell, as his entire body was submerged in it.
The man standing on the eagle's back waved his hand to greet the young man and Jerry as the iron eagle crashed to the ground. "Dave and that young wizard, come quickly! He won't be sealed for very long by my water."
"Okay, okay!"
The young man named Dave immediately recognized the man in the leather coat and with his assistance, easily clambered up onto the back of the large iron eagle.
Jerry rolled his eyes, put his wand aside for the moment, put his hands on the enormous iron eagle's wings, and leaped on it.
The water suddenly burst when the middle-aged man's wand flashed.
"Balthazar!" The middle-aged man's eyes reddened upon seeing the man in the leather jacket, and with a yell, he was going to launch another magic attack.
Nevertheless, the man in the leather jacket anticipated it initially. As he rubbed his hands together, a powerful energy ball quickly formed, and as soon as the water ball burst, it smacked into the middle-aged man.
The intense electric light ball instantly blew out the middle-aged man, who then flew at least seven or eight meters away before colliding with a storefront.
Jerry's eyes couldn't help but shine as he recognized the potency of the electro-optical ball that the man in the leather jacket had just fired. This magic seems to have a lot of strength.
"Horvath, who has been alive for more than 2000 years, has attained immortality. It would take a lot of strength for me to kill him now." The man in the leather jacket shakes his head. He wouldn't keep imprisoning the enemy if he could kill him.
As he said that, he spread the large iron eagle's wings, placed his right hand with the ring on its back, and guided the three of them into the sky.
"Two thousand years?" On the eagle, Jerry made an effort to maintain his composure, but his heart was already racing.
Surprisingly, wizards in this universe have an endless lifespan and appear to be able to keep their physical bodies.
Jerry had the impression that even if the magic in this world was bad, acquiring magic that could stay forever was worthwhile.
About Horvath, was he really that strong just now? He is unsure if the short duration of the combat is to blame. Also, why does this scene feel so familiar to him?
On the other hand, Horvath left the store without a care in the world despite being drenched in smoke from the electric shock. Horvath furiously smashed the wand to the ground as he stared at the large iron bird that had vanished from the sky.
"From where did that little wizard come from? He's good. It appears that I also need someone to help me, but first, I must locate the Grimhold."
"Raise your hand. You're under arrest under the suspicion of stealing. Come with us now!"
A police car arrived because of the store's emergency siren, and two of the cops came out brandishing their weapons and shouted a warning to Horvath.
"Are you aware of who I am? How dare you speak to me in such a manner? "
Horvath, who was furious at the time, touched his wand twice in the forward direction. The two police were instantly launched into the air by an invisible force and plummeted to the ground.
Horvath entered the police vehicle calmly, used the wand to transform it into a black sports car, and then drove in the direction he had previously remembered.

On the roof of a New York building, A massive iron eagle came down heavily on it.
"Ugh, I feel like I'm about to throw up from how woozy I am."
Dave leaped off the iron eagle's back while feeling dizzy and clutched the roof's railing with an uncomfortably shocked grimace. Being on a large iron eagle and flying so high truly worried him as a physics student.
Balthazar, a man in a leather jacket, and Jerry both calmly descended the stairs. It is clear that for them, flying at this altitude is nothing.
"Relax, Dave. Take a deep breath."
Balthazar apathetically shrugged. Jerry was now quietly listening to their chat while also observing Balthazar transforming the eagle into an ornament.
Although they were obviously not the same, he thought the iron eagle's transformation and the Transformation Spell were fairly the same thing.
Jerry can use the Transfiguration Spell to transform an ornament into a lifelike iron eagle at his present level, but he cannot command the iron eagle to fly like a living creature.
He may, however, employ the Transfiguration Spell to transform it into a living creature. But the creature cannot be as large as the iron eagle since it must be a real creature that actually exists in reality.
Even if he did, the transformed creature is no different from a regular creature and will not follow his commands. He could control it only if he cast it on his own, like the Snake Summoning Spell.
Yet the wizard by the name of Balthazar standing in front of him uses a different kind of magic. He appeared to have changed the ornamental iron eagle on the roof into a magical bird that could fly and move in response to his thoughts.
You must know that a bird made of normal iron cannot fly no matter how much it flaps its wings.
Yet, this magic is somewhat similar to alchemy. While alchemy can also create stone statues that can fight on their own, it requires considerable power.
You can use alchemy to create a large iron eagle that can aid you in ground combat, but if you want it to fly and lift you into the air, you'll need to figure out how to add some additional magic spells to it.
Jerry is still very intrigued by Balthazar's magic as a result.
"Please put an end to your argument and explain the situation to me. After all, I was involved for no reason."
Jerry cast an Amplifying Charm on himself as the two were conversing, and as a result, his voice was so loud that the two had to stop by covering their ears.
"Thank you for saving me just now. I apologize for becoming a little excited. I'm Dave, a sophomore physics major."
The two realized Jerry still lived after maintaining their composure. Dave stood up to thank Jerry for saving him at this precise moment and to introduce himself.
Dave unintentionally wandered into Balthazar's antique store during a school trip ten years ago when he was still in the fourth grade.
Balthazar pulled out a dragon ring after spotting him. When he spotted him, the ring suddenly sprang to life and flew right onto his finger, where it settled.
Balthazar insisted on taking him on as an apprentice and teaching him magic after coming to the conclusion that he was the one who had inherited Merlin's abilities.
During this time, he unintentionally released the middle-aged man who had just attacked him by dropping a Russian matryoshka doll known as "The Grimhold."
The middle-aged man and the man in the leather coat used magic to fight each other in the antique shop. Dave ran away with the Russian doll out of fear.
He ran into his teacher and classmates when he got outside, and he enthusiastically told them what had happened in the antique shop.
The two wizards who battled with magic, as Dave had claimed, were not present in the antique shop when the teacher instructed the students to unlock the door and go inside. There was no one there, and it was just your typical antique store.
Because of this, David was diagnosed with a delusional disorder. His students made fun of him and gave the disorder the name Dave Stutler's delusional disorder.
He encountered those two wizards again ten years later after finally letting go of the embarrassing incident from his past. He had always wished to be the best physicist.
"You can call me Jerry, and I understand your situation." Jerry raised the Amplifying Charm and immediately began to hunt for a memory buried deep within his brain because the story sounded familiar.
It is hard for him to recall every memory from his prior life, which spanned more than 30 years. He needs to use "Refreshing" carefully to delve through the depths of his memory for some memories that have been long since buried.
"Oh! The Sorcerer's Apprentice!"
A mental image materialized in an instant. While he was still a college student, he sat aside and observed a movie being watched by a certain roommate using a computer in the dorm.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice is the title of that film. The narrative is a perfect match for what Dave just said.
Balthazar also came forward at this time and introduced himself to Jerry, "Hello, Master Jerry. I'm Balthazar, and I want to thank you for saving Dave just now. What magic school do you attend, by the way?"
The young wizard in front of him may not appear to be very old, but he has excellent magical skills. He is certainly a genius wizard if he could battle Horvath without getting hurt.
"Which school? Well, Hogwarts School."
Jerry is unaware of the existence of any magic schools in this universe. He briefly used the name Hogwarts because the only mentioned schools in the film together are the Merlinians or the Morganians Schools.
It is actually acceptable to identify yourself as a Hogwarts student and state that you attend that institution.
As Balthazar heard this, he momentarily froze, "Hogwarts School? I have lived for more than two thousand years but never heard of this school."

"Wizards live such lengthy lives in this world." As Jerry learned Balthazar's age, his eyes glowed once more.
Balthazar, Horvath, and Veronica are three of Merlin's disciples who, if he remembered correctly, could all live eternally. Morgana, who was imprisoned in the Grimhold, is likewise immortal. From this viewpoint, it appears that a wizard in this world can attain longevity without too much difficulty.
If not, it would be impossible for there to be so many wizards who live for more than 2000 years.
"While it is very old, our Hogwarts school is not well-known. It is concealed in Scotland's isolated woodlands. It is understandable if you haven't heard of it because it has always existed as a solitary branch and does not communicate with the outside world. I moved away from there and settled in New York for unique reasons."
It's clear that Jerry has no trouble telling lies when they come out of his mouth.
As Balthazar heard this, he nodded, "It makes sense why your magic appears a little different from the older school. I apologize for involving you this time. I'll handle the rest, but you'd better get out of New York right now or Horvath may trouble you later."
Balthazar does not want a child to be involved in such a risky mission, despite Jerry's apparent youth and high magical abilities. Even Dave wouldn't be involved if he wasn't the inheritor who could defeat Morgana.
"Could you please elaborate on the Grimhold you just mentioned? Why did he seek the Grimhold, exactly?"
Now, Jerry wouldn't leave. Becoming friends with this wizard is the best way to learn the most potent magic in this world and the secret to immortality. If not, why would he teach him?
He had originally intended to create the immortality potion and take the Philosopher's Stone in order to become immortal.
Yet, the immortality produced by combining the magic stone with the longevity potion also has a drawback. The "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series contains examples of it.
That form of immortality can only compel the soul to remain within the body, and since the body will continue to age over time, it won't be all that different from a walking corpse.
Whether it is Balthazar or Horvath, immortality in this universe is definitely different. They have lived for more than two thousand years, but neither their physical appearance nor their aging have changed in the slightest.
Balthazar has been consistently working on his magic for more than 2000 years, honing his magic to a higher level. It can be referred to as the ideal immortality technique.
As Balthazar heard this, he sighed, "When we locate the Grimhold, we'll discuss the specifics. In short, Morgana herself and the Morganians have been sealed by the Grimhold. They will end the world if Horvath discovers them and lets them loose."
"The Morgana that almost wiping out humanity? Wasn't she killed by the legendary Merlin?" Jerry faked his shock.
Balthazar shrugged, "Her magic is just too strong. Horvath had betrayed Merlin at that point, leaving him gravely hurt, so she was just sealed in it. I'm not strong enough to kill her now. Dave, who is Merlin's successor, is the only person who can do it."
Dave shook his head vigorously at this point "You've got to be kidding. I neither have Merlin's magic nor am I a direct descendant of him. I no longer desire to work with magic. I simply want to have an ordinary life."
When Balthazar held out his hand, a locker materialized with the aid of his magic. In front of Dave, he removed a ring in the shape of a dragon from his locker and asked, "If you genuinely want to live an ordinary life, why keep this ring?"
Jerry glanced at the ring in Balthazar's hand and knew it was Merlin's dragon ring. It is challenging to cast spells directly without the help of a medium for the wizard in this world, just like it is for the wizards in the "Harry Potter" universe.
The wand serves as the magic tool in the "Harry Potter" universe. It is challenging to cast magic normally without the wand, unless you are a good wizard.
The same is true in this world, excluding the two most powerful wizards, Morgana and Merlin, all other wizards require a medium in order to work magic.
The majority of wizards wear rings on their hands, although some also cast spells using scepters, necklaces, and other objects.
Dave has inherited Merlin's strength. He can cast spells without using a medium as long as he puts in some serious study time later.
"This is great news!" Jerry has always believed that using a wand to cast spells is dangerous.
He can't cast spells because it is now impossible to do so without a wand, and when he doesn't have his hand, he ceases to be a wizard and becomes just like any other person.
Just like when he was in a physical education class at school, because the wand was in the locker, he couldn't perform magic, so he was forced to take off his shirt.
Moreover, the wand's construction is weak wood, which will readily break if it is attacked. Once he drops his wand, he will be in risk if someone finds this weakness of his and launches a focused attack.
But the ring is different, it is hidden better on the hand, and the metal is more durable.
In the future, he will be able to operate both the ring and the wand entirely with his left hand. He can offer the enemy a great surprise when the latter breaks his wand believing that he has discovered his weakness. It is simple to get hurt.
As for how to get the ring?
Of course, it was taken by force. But, for the time being, he must not take the dragon ring. It is Dave's, and Balthazar will never let him go.
Nevertheless, if they are defeated by those wizards sent by Morgana, perhaps he can obtain it from them. The most significant factor is that Jerry learned about it through his recall of the movie snippets and the recent struggle with Horvath.
The actual combat prowess of the wizards in this world does not seem to be particularly impressive, despite the fact that many of their magic spells are quite interesting and they have lived lengthy lives.
He even believed that there would be no way to end the world at all if Morgana, the most powerful witch in history, were truly freed.
The present is unlike 2000 years ago. Morgana could conquer the world with magic, but in the high-tech era of today, those kinds of method is not effective.
Wizards in particular seem to be susceptible to electrical damage in this universe. In the film, Morgana was ultimately killed by David's succession of lightning-based spells.
Report chapter Comments
Jerry made this assessment, nonetheless, based on the circumstances at hand. It is challenging to determine the truth. He hasn't actually had a chance to witness Morgana's strength himself, after all.
One cannot draw a complete conclusion from the movie's performance alone. Possibly the greatest witch in history has much greater strength than he anticipated.
In other words, it would be best to keep her inside for the time being. In fact, he is particularly interested in another type of magic for the universe of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" in addition to the immortality one.
That is – the Sealing Magic.
For more than two thousand years, the Sealing Spell imprisoned Morgana and her followers inside a matryoshka doll, preventing them from escaping by their own willpower. It is obvious how strong this spell is.
If he mastered this ability, he would be able to directly seal Voldemort's remaining soul when he returned to the "Harry Potter" universe.
Even if he was as powerful as Dumbledore, he could not stop Voldemort because his Horcruxes had not been totally destroyed. Even if Jerry is unable to kill him, he will just imprison his soul for a very long time in a jar.
If he ever came across an immortal in the future, he would seal them up and store them all together. Find a planet that has no inhabitants, and drop it there so that they slowly suffer there.
Balthazar and Dave ultimately came to an agreement just as Jerry was considering which magics to learn in the future and how to apply them.
In the end, Dave gave in to Balthazar's "coercion and enticement" and decided to assist him in locating the Grimhold. The two are currently debating whether to ride the large iron eagle or descend to locate the aged vehicle that Balthazar parked in the lot ten years prior.
Since the eagle moves more quickly, it is too visible, making it simple for both Horvath and regular people to detect it.
Although driving a car is more covert, the speed is slow. It will be challenging for Horvath to locate the Grimhold first as he must be searching for it as well.
"I believe I can accompany you there if it's required." Jerry then moved a step more forward.
"A form of Disillusionment Charm exists at our Hogwarts school that can deal with the issue of being quickly discovered."
As Balthazar's eyes sparkled, he followed it up with a serious question, "Master Jerry, are you sure you want to go with us?"
"I don't want that Morgana to resurrect and ruin this great world." Jerry shrugged.
"Thank you." Balthazar paused for a brief period before deciding.
They must move quickly since they have been on the rooftop for too long, and it is possible that Horvath has already discovered The Grimhold. Driving will take much longer than searching in the air with the eagle.
He could only turn little, non-living objects invisible without the spells he had learned; he was powerless against large, living creatures. He was strongly opposed to sending a young wizard on this mission with them.
The moment Balthazar placed his hand on the beautiful iron bird, which was leaning over the edge of the roof, the magic began to work its magic. The bird instantly came back to life, stood up with fluttering wings, and obediently approached the three.
The three ascended the eagle's back one by one, and with a wave of his wand, Jerry simultaneously cast a Disillusionment Spell on the three of them and the eagle.
"The Grimhold is close to the city center, according to my pigeon, which has found its location."
Standing atop the eagle, Balthazar detected the location of the pigeon he had just released and immediately gave the command for takeoff. He then quickly flew towards the city's center.
At the same time, outside the antique store where Dave and Balthazar once met. Horvath started to cast magic in accordance with the knowledge Dave had previously provided.
The virtual vision that occurred at the antique shop's entryway ten years before resurfaced before his eyes, thanks to magic.
In shock, a boy ran out of the antique store and threw the doll he was holding onto the pavement. The matryoshka was soon picked up by a Chinese granny dressed in Chinese attire.
"Chinatown."
Horvath tracked for the doll's missing owner and then sped off in the sports car toward Manhattan's Chinatown.
He soon arrived in the bustling Chinatown, where a festival was being held at the moment, under the guidance of magic.
The most dramatic Chinese performance, including the dragon dance show in the middle of the street, has filled the entire Chinatown with Chinese people dressed as they are.
"That's them." Horvath realized right away that he was one step late and that Balthazar had already located The Grimhold before him when he distantly observed Dave and Jerry there.
Horvath, who obviously had no intention of giving up so easily, quickly cast one of his most powerful illusion spells, disguising himself as a stunning woman.
He gently exited the crowd, circled around to the rear of the structure, and crept inside. Jerry and Dave were enjoying the dragon dance performance while standing outside the building's main door.
Although the eagle flew quite quickly, it didn't take them long to arrive at Chinatown.
Balthazar ordered Jerry and Dave to remain below for their own protection and walked up to look into the matter alone. It would be best for him to obtain the Grimhold and depart right away. If Horvath came and the two would be below since he arrived there, then they will be fine.
"Would you mind if I borrowed your ring, Dave?" Jerry pretended to be interested and enquired after observing Dave being drawn to the dragon dance.
Dave didn't care. He handed Jerry the dragon ring after removing it and continued to watch the performance.
Jerry put on the dragon ring and experienced the same sensation as the magic wand as soon as he did. He wasn't even sure if the fact that the dragon ring was Merlin's ring contributed to the fact that it made him feel more powerful than his own magic wand.
If he didn't use the wand at this particular moment, the magical force released by the dragon ring alone may be a little bit stronger than his wand.
Jerry didn't pull any tricks and instead gave the ring back to Dave after checking that the dragon ring could actually take its place.
According to him, the Elder Wand and a regular wand are equivalent to the difference between a dragon ring and a regular wizard's wand.
It still depends on the magician's own strength in the end, even though the magic has increased. The Elder Wand and the dragon ring are equally useless if his own strength is insufficient.
Now that he knew about the dragon ring, thus for the time being, he has not thought about getting it.
He can use a regular magician's ring for the time being. He'll think about the dragon ring problem when he understands more about this world's magic in the future.

Jerry could hear glass breaking above his head. Balthazar was seen descending after shattering the fourth-floor window glass when the man looked up.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" In a flash, Jerry pulled out his wand and used a levitation spell to lift Balthazar over his head and prevent him from being smashed.
On the other side, those who had just witnessed Balthazar floating in the air and descending gradually cheered, believing that he was doing some sort of floating magic.
"What happened?" Jerry and Dave both turned to gaze at Balthazar amid the congratulatory cheers.
It makes sense that their pace on the eagle shouldn't have been slower than Horvath's. Why Balthazar was still being attacked?
Before Balthazar could respond, Horvath on the fourth floor grinned while sticking his head out of the window while carrying a Russian doll, "Balthazar, you are still so easily deceived."
It turned out that the young woman Horvath had just converted was Veronica, who had bound Morgana's soul with her own body 2,000 years before. The two of them had ultimately been trapped together in the Grimhold.
She is also Balthazar's lover and Merlin's student at the same time.
Horvath changed into Veronica, knocked on the door, and entered when Balthazar grabbed the Grimhold. Balthazar froze when he first spotted Veronica and immediately relaxed his guard.
Horvath seized the chance to grab the Grimhold and deploy an air cannon to immediately blow the defenseless Balthazar out the window.
"Get the Grimhold first, and we'll talk about it afterwards."
Balthazar realized that this wasn't the right time to explain. Horvath turned around and sprinted towards the stairs since he knew it would be problematic if he let anyone out of the building. Naturally, Dave and Jerry did the same.
Horvath and The Grimhold had vanished on the fourth floor.
"Over there!" Balthazar detected it and discovered where Horvath was right away.
Balthazar, who has the Grimhold for more than two thousand years, can feel it coming from anywhere.
A Chinese man with braids, a shirtless upper body, and a dragon-shaped armor around his waist, however, stood in their way when they reached the top of the structure via the stairs.
"How are you doing? It appears… What the?
'Sun Lok' Balthazar scowled as he regarded the individual in front of him who was impeding his path.
He sealed and captured a Morganian in China around a hundred years ago, and he was quite skilled with flame and transmutation magic. Even if his overall strength is superior, stopping here at this time cannot be addressed quickly.
With this person around, it would be difficult to capture Horvath and recover the Grimhold.
Horvath was carrying a wand and pointing at a sheet of paper with a pterosaur in his hand at this very moment, standing behind Sun Lok. Flying out of the paper, the pterosaur—which isn't much smaller than the eagle—landed in front of Horvath.
"Goodbye." Horvath triumphantly mounted the back of the pterosaur, waved his hand at Balthazar, and took off into the sky.
"Follow him. Leave this guy to me for now." Jerry stepped forward after picking up his wand.
Balthazar pondered for a few moment before nodding. Dave can only deliver it to Jerry because Jerry already defeated Horvath and Dave must prevent Horvath from releasing Morgana before Dave has fully grasped Merlin's power.
"Keep him there for a little."
"You're not going away so easily." Sun Lok directed numerous silver needles to fire in their direction with the wave of his palms.
"Arresto Momentum!" All the silver needles were fixed in midair when Jerry cast a Slowing Charm.
He obviously coveted Sun Lok's magic ring, which was the main motivation for his desire to remain.
Without Sun Lok's interference, Balthazar was able to concentrate fast on using magic. He also immediately summoned the iron eagle that had previously been left outside Chinatown and directed Dave to ride it to pursue Horvath.
As Sun Lok realized this, he instantly gave up trying to control the silver needle. He then prepared to use magic when a blue light unexpectedly erupted from the opposite direction. Jerry actually cast a Sleeping Charm spell on Sun Lok, as it turned out.
Sun Lok quickly raised a solid flame shield in front of him to deflect Jerry's Sleeping Charm with a wave of both hands.
Jerry was not in a rush as he pulled out a wizard robe from the bag and put it on while swearing in the language he was most comfortable with when he saw Sun Lok obstructing his magic with a fire shield.
The wizard's robe contains a Protego Charm that can significantly bolster his defense.
Sun Lok felt enraged as soon as he heard Jerry's words. When he rubbed his hands together, a large fireball developed, moved in Jerry's direction, and then launched at him like a cannonball.
As Jerry realized this, he showed no signs of worry and promptly aimed his wand at the wizard robe to activate it in its second mode, forming another layer of Protego Charm. The defensive cover deflected the fireball, which only caused a tiny tremor when it struck him.
He put his wand away and used the Arrow Shooting Spell to shoot more than a dozen precise arrows at Sun Lok. More than a dozen pointed arrows were instantly destroyed by the fire shield when Sun Lok waved his hands.
Due to everyone's weakness in physical combat, fights between wizards are less deadly than those between warriors because they often involve a long-distance attack with magic spells.
The amount of magic that the wizards have mastered is the secret to its success. They have more options for offensive strategies the more magic they have mastered.
It also resides in one's comprehension of magic. The potency of magic increases with its depth of understanding, making it harder for the enemy to defend against it.
Similar to how it is presently, if Jerry's magic power is significantly more than Sun Lok's, he will be unable to protect against Jerry's magic attack at all and all of his magic will be able to pass through directly.
The amount of magic that is kept in reserve in the two wizards' bodies is the last factor. The fight will end in a draw if the two wizards' levels of magic knowledge and control are close enough to one another.
Either give up and leave at this moment, or contest for the body's magic power. In the end, he will win if the other wizard's magic power runs out before his own.

Sun Lok actually outclassed Jerry by a wide margin in terms of his understanding of magic and the strength of his magic. However, it doesn't appear like the world's best wizard has much combat ability.
Sun Lok belonged to the third position, coming in behind Horvath and Balthazar. The first position goes to Morgana and Merlin.
Morgana has spent more than 2000 years confined in the Grimhold. Jerry has certainly not accumulated anywhere like Morgana's level of magical ability.
Jerry is not a typical wizard in this world, and the magic system he learned is also unique to this world, which is mostly why he hasn't been defeated right away.
It is an advanced protective spell that few adult wizards in the Harry Potter universe can master, much as the Protego Charm on his wizard robe.
In addition to being unable to resist the Killing Curse, it is challenging to get beyond the Protego Charm's resistance as long as the power of most magic is not excessive. Sun Lok's fire magic is undoubtedly strong, but it can temporarily aid Jerry.
If Jerry fights too long and loses all of his magic power, he will lose. Jerry also understood that Sun Lok's main magic was not fire but rather a unique form of magic that could summon a dragon to help him in an attack.
Jerry cannot defeat that dragon with his current power. But, Jerry was naturally confident in his heart since he dared to stay and fight, and he would not do anything he was uncertain about.
Sun Lok can really be killed by Jerry quite easily, despite the fact that his strength is inferior to Sun Lok's. Sun Lok was unaware of his magic, and he recognized Sun Lok's weakness. His advantage was that and it was a big advantage.
Particularly given that Jerry possesses the Killing Curse, which cannot be stopped by a magic shield unless it is avoided or deflected by an object.
Few wizards are foolish enough to utilize magic shields to guard against the Killing Curse in the "Harry Potter" universe because everyone is aware of what it can do. Nevertheless, the wizards in this world are unaware of this.
Sun Lok is currently facing Jerry, and if Jerry casts a Killing Curse on him as Sun Lok continues to block with his fire shield, there can only be one result.
He will die.
This is Jerry's greatest strength for dealing with Sun Lok alone. His original plan was to capture Sun Lok, take his magic ring, and then utilize the Imperius Curse to learn all of the Morgana's teachings.
He won't employ this magic unless he genuinely can't beat the opponent. In addition, he had a slight case of greed for the magic the enemy used to summon a dragon.
When Sun Lok realized that Jerry was immune to his flame magic at this point, his anger rose.
He thought it was unacceptable that a child today was dragging him here. He stopped attempting to damage Jerry's potent magic robe using fire magic. Instead, he kept the fire shield under control and gathered his strength to cast his most potent transmutation spell—the Dragon Magic.
The dragon-shaped engraving that was inlaid inside the armor came to life at his command. The artificial dragon that had been dancing about underneath the building changed into a black solid dragon at the same time, thanks to the carving of a dragon on Sun Lok's armor.
When Sun Lok needed assistance fighting, the dragon flicked its beard, let out a large ball of flame, and then leaped to the top of the structure.
Sun Lok, who was attempting to manage the dragon there, suddenly groaned as the dragon's head approached the roof.
"It appears that I won't need to use the Killing Curse." Jerry's ears twitched, and his face instantly calmed.
Sun Lok groaned softly, and sure enough, the enormous dragon with its head poking out also halted. The enormous dragon that had transformed into a solid body fell to the ground immediately and reverted to its former appearance after two more muted groans.
Sun Lok's magic has undoubtedly been dispelled.
Jerry glanced at Sun Lok there as he put the wizard's robe away. Sun Lok had already fallen to the ground, foaming at the lips, by this point, and the three black mamba snakes around Sun Lok revealed themselves.
It turned out that Jerry used the Snake Summoning Spell to summon three black mamba snakes and surreptitiously performed the Disillusionment Charm on them while Sun Lok was focusing on casting the Dragon Transmutation Spell.
Sun Lok's flame shield was ineffective against three invisible black mamba snakes, who bit his calf numerous times before instantly poisoning him.
The advantages of learning additional spells are now made clear. Several weak spells combined together can have an unexpected result.
Some people prefer to specialize in the study of magic. In other words, they invest a lot of effort in studying a few spells that they deem to be the most useful and then use those spells to the fullest.
Some people opt to aim big. Rather than combining spells, they study as many spells as they can, which will broaden the scope of their magic skills.
Lethality-wise, it must be stronger due to specialization, much like Harry, who depended on a Disarming Spell to fight Voldemort successfully. Although while Hermione is skilled in a wide variety of spells, she lacks Harry's magical strength.
Jerry is more likely to choose the second option by learning as many spells as possible.
He may emerge in multiple worlds in the future due to his unique circumstances, thus even if he specializes in a small number of the most potent spells, he may still be constrained.
Only by learning to master more spells can one be able to deal with it calmly, no matter what the environment is.
Also, he has always thought that no useless spell exists. Even those can have a significant impact if the magic is applied properly. Although they may appear pointless, Hair Growth Charm and Hair Loss Curse might be useful in certain circumstances.
Give yourself a Hair Loss Curse, for instance, in case an enemy pulls your hair while you're fighting. Alternately, you could cast a spell on an enemy if they desire to engage you in close combat.
Everyone has body hair, after all, and depending on the situation, allowing the other person trim or grow their hair might be beneficial.
The most crucial aspect is that Jerry believes if he solely focused on the lethality of magic and combat, he is an unworthy wizard. Knowledge is the most vital asset for a wizard.
Only by mastering more magic knowledge and spells can one grasp the true meaning of magic at a deeper level.
He pulled out the antidote and proceeded to alleviate Sun Lok off the snake venom. Jerry started searching for the magic ring since he had already put a Sleeping Charm on him.
"Huh."
It turned out that Sun Long didn't wear any rings on his fingers except Chinese armor set that he used.
Report chapter Comments
"These armor sets are too ugly. It can't be them." Jerry sighed.
Jerry once more focused on the dragon-patterned iron armor around Sun Lok's waist, but he swiftly turned away from it. It is clear that Sun Lok is using this waist armor as a magic tool to release the transmutation magic temporarily.
Jerry eventually located Sun Lok's spell-casting tool, a wristband set with two rubies.
He put the wristband on his wrist after removing it. The wristband shrank before being automatically sized to fit his wrist's thickness.
"Not bad."
Jerry thought the wristband, which had excellent glyphs and ruby inlays, looked fairly good.
Throwing the unconscious Sun Lok into the luggage, he cast an Incarcerous Spell. He left as soon as he heard numerous police cars approaching from below. He retrieved his broomstick, donned the Disillusionment Charm, and moved in the direction of Balthazar and the others.
A quarter of an hour later, Jerry distantly observed a large iron eagle and a pterosaur engaged in aerial combat.
Clearly weaker than a large eagle with steel and iron bones was the pterosaur that magically emerged from the image. It was chasing the eagle in the air and howling, and could only turn around occasionally to fight back with its sharp teeth.
Its teeth are evidently incapable of harming strong steel in any way. Jerry reduced the height of the broomstick and flew down. He soon came across Balthazar and Horvath engaged in combat.
The two might have equal magical abilities, making it impossible to harm the other or just want to punch each other in the face. However, the two are currently roaring and brawling there.
"Horvath, why did you betray us when we used to battle together?" Horvath was struck in the stomach by Balthazar, who was visibly furious.
If it weren't for Horvath's betrayal back then, Merlin would not have died, and prevented Veronica from being sealed together with Morgana in the Grimhold for 2,000 years.
"Fight side by side? We are no longer close friends since Veronica chose you, the great Balthazar Blake. I have to let go of Morgana in front of you so you may witness the collapse of the world." Balthazar was struck severely in the face by Horvath.
Horvath and Balthazar were engaged in combat when Jerry crept up behind them with his wand. He intended to stay in this world for a week, leave after that week, then come back when Hogwarts was on break before returning to the regular world.
In other words, he won't be around for at least four or five months.
Jerry hopes to find a solution to this issue in advance and help Balthazar seal the Grimhold once more in order to stop Horvath from stealing the Grimhold and free Morgana in the next four to five months.
Even though Morgana was freed in the first film, Dave, who possessed Merlin's power, will defeat her through a series of ongoing magic.
Yet since his appearance has changed the original plot, there may be a butterfly effect where Morgana survives, but Dave and Balthazar die.
"Sleep!"
Balthazar kicked Horvath to the ground, and Jerry seized the opportunity to attack him with a Sleeping Spell. Horvath had no time to respond because Jerry was so close, and as a result, he was struck by his Sleeping Charm.
Nevertheless, the anticipated outcome was not seen. Horvath was only rendered unconscious for a brief period of time before the sapphire on the wand flashed and resumed its original state.
"Who is sneaking up on me?" Horvath, who was now back to normal, waved his wand, cast a smoke cloud to surround him.
When Jerry was three meters away and touched by the smoke, the Disillusionment Charm's immediate invisibility effect was lifted, and he suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"It was you, so Sun Lok has already lost." Horvath looked shocked as he saw Sun Lok's wristband and Jerry floating in the air on a broom.
Sun Lok is an extremely powerful wizard with an endless lifespan. He is a master among the Morganians. Surprisingly, he was defeated by a young child.
"Master Jerry!" Balthazar and Dave, who were standing in the distance holding the Grimhold, were relieved to see Jerry arrive safely.
Within a few seconds of seeing him, Horvath turned his head and was about to flee to the roof exit when he realized that he didn't care about the Grimhold. Jerry shouted at them and immediately flew over to fight Horvath.
He didn't use spells like Full Body Bind Curse or Sleeping Charm to attack this time. Since he was aware that Sun Lok is weaker than Horvath, and therefore his protective magic would likely be able to block most spell strikes easily.
Furthermore, it is predicted that it won't be effective against him even if it does hit. The opponent quickly and accurately understood the Sleeping Curse.
His current Sleeping Spell in the "Harry Potter" universe has the potential to render a normal person unconscious for an extended period of time. Even a professor at Hogwarts will fall asleep for a considerable amount of time if they are not guarded against his Sleeping Charm.
He didn't think Horvath had much better magical ability than the Hogwarts professor in front of him.
He guessed that either Horvath has some unique magic that can break his Sleeping Charm, or it may be due to the various bodies of wizards in this world.
Since they are physically distinct from wizards in the "Harry Potter" universe, given that they can live eternally in this world.
However, his Disillusionment Charm was just destroyed by an unidentified type of powerful magic. He employed Snape's signature magic, which he had long since mastered, just to be safe.
"Sectumsempra!"
With a wave of the wand, several invisible sharp blades quickly flew toward Horvath.
Report chapter Comments
In fact, Horvath is the second-strongest Morganian wizard, second only to Morgana. He could not see Jerry's shadowless, razor-sharp magic, but he could sense where a magic power changes thanks to his sharp magic perception.
He was going to cast magic while holding the wand to block his attack, but he saw Balthazar was also attacking him with magic. Around a tenth of a second after pausing, he waved the wand in Balthazar's general direction, forming a circle to create an imperceptible air shield.
Horvath undoubtedly paid more attention to Balthazar's attack than Jerry's. The air shield thwarted Balthazar's power, but Horvath grunted.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't fully escape Jerry's attack and the Sectumsempra Curse's invisible, sharp blade severed part of his right ankle even though his body had just performed evasive moves.
"Darn it, I'll remember you!" Horvath half-knelt on the ground, glanced at his bleeding right ankle, gave Jerry a dead glare, and then his entire body started disintegrating, transforming into many cockroach-like bugs.
"Horvath has used Morgana's dark magic, and as a result, he has attained immortality. He may transform into a creature once hurt so that he can heal." Balthazar now approached Jerry's side while maintaining a solemn expression.
When Horvath is gravely hurt, he can heal by reincarnating as an insect, which is why he is regarded as one of the greatest wizards. Horvath could only be imprisoned in The Grimhold at the time. Therefore, Balthazar was unable to defeat him.
It's not that he doesn't want to kill him. Rather, his ability prevents him from killing him at all.
Jerry was astounded to hear Balthazar's statements. In order to heal from serious wounds, you can transform into a creature. Compared to healing magic, this is actually better.
It makes sense why Balthazar repeatedly defeated Horvath without killing him. He simply used The Grimhold to hold him and assumed he couldn't do it because they were brother-in-arms. It appears that the Morganians' dark magic has some merits.
Many insects eventually began to compress back into Horvath's body.
"How could something so impossible happen?" Horvath, who had just compressed his body, experienced an acute ankle ache. He was still bleeding from his ankle when he looked down, and there was no sign of any healing.
Horvath was not the only one who was shocked. Balthazar was as well. Jerry paused for a time before coming to a sudden realization.
The opponent's incarnation magic to heal wounds is definitely incredibly potent, but the Sectumsempra Curse he just cast is also some of the best dark magic around.
Snape created the Sectumsempra Curse. There is another unique attribute in addition to the one of being invisible.
In other words, the damage it inflicts is not just regular damage. It also carries a unique dark magic curse. Any healing magic won't be able to remove the effect unless the equivalent counter-curse is cast.
Horvath takes the form of an insect to heal his wounds, but it cannot reverse the effects of the Sectumsempra Curse. He can't heal his ankle because it is still bleeding.
"What kind of magic are you using?" Horvath ultimately lost control after realizing that his biggest hole card was in trouble.
His immortality would no longer be useful because he could not recuperate from his wounds. He would perish in this world if the little wizard's spell struck him again.
"Sectumsempra!" Jerry, who has rich combat experience, would not waste time answering the enemy's questions but threw out the curse once again without saying anything.
But this time, he chose to shoot at Horvath's neck.
One could know it was dark magic at a look if it weren't for the Killing Curse's green light. After utilizing it, he refrained from invoking the Killing Curse directly out of concern that Balthazar would suspect him.
The Sectumsempra Curse can destroy Horvath's immortal body, and casting the Killing Curse may be effective on him. Now Jerry even believed that Morgana, who was imprisoned in the darkest corner of the Grimhold, would struggle if she were to be affected by his Killing Curse.
Of course, nothing like this has been thoroughly tested. So, he is unable to say with certainty just yet.
Horvath would perform some magic to leave when he encountered Jerry's Sectumsempra Curse again. He didn't dare to be negligent and instead directly blocked him with an air shield.
But Balthazar, who was standing next to Jerry, was also casting magic at this moment. As soon as he noticed Balthazar raising his hands, the iron railing on the roof abruptly detached itself from the structure. He circled Horvath and bound up his entire body under his control.
"Don't kill him." After having Horvath under control, Balthazar quickly halted Jerry when he noticed that he was raising his wand again and preparing to cast magic.
Jerry turned to face Balthazar and wore a bewildered expression.
This is the one who deceived his own teacher, tragically killed his teacher, and sealed his friend's lover for more than 2,000 years. For what reason was he preventing him from killing Horvath?
As Balthazar noticed Jerry's uncertainty, he used the guardrail's bars to entangle Horvath like a snake and knocked the wand out of his hand, preventing him from casting spells.
He explained, "Because of Morgana's excessive power, the Grimhold cannot keep her sealed for an extended period of time. To increase the magical strength of the seal, a second and third layer of the seal must be added, and these Morganians provide the magic power for each layer of the seal."
It turns out that the major goal of the sealing technique is to draw out the person's power to be a catalyst for the seal.
Balthazar then formed nesting dolls outside the Grimhold and sealed Horvath and a few other Morganians wizards. The Grimhold can be sealed for a longer period of time by drawing on the magic of these Morganians wizards.
Jerry heard Balthazar's explanation and understood it right away.
It makes sense that Sun Lok and a nun are on the matryoshka's second layer. Instead of killing them when Balthazar caught them, he just locked them. Horvath, unlike Sun Lok and a nun witch, has an immortal body.
The purpose, as it turned out, was to draw on their magic power to fortify the seal. That being said, Jerry removed his wand and stopped casting the Sectumsempra Curse.
Morgana should definitely be sealed for a longer amount of time. He had not actually tested his Killing Curse, despite his assumption that it could kill Morgana.
Thus, to be safe, keep Morgana sealed and wait to resolve this concealed threat until Dave has fully inherited Merlin's strength, at which point he will become stronger.

Jerry nodded and put his wand away after fully comprehending the situation.
"Grab the Grimhold, Dave." Balthazar asked David, who was hidden behind the water tank on the roof, as soon as he saw Jerry put away his wand.
Dave strode over, holding the Grimhold, when he realized that this side was secure and that Horvath was apprehended.
"I didn't think the fairy tale's depiction of a wizard riding a broomstick would be real. It was always like a fairy tale to me." Dave couldn't help but gasp when he saw Jerry riding his broomstick in midair, handing Balthazar the Grimhold.
When Jerry heard this, he smiled, "It is not similar to the iron eagle he has, but it is a magical artifact that is only found at our Hogwarts school that helps us with flying. It is ineffective for combat. If you want it, I'll prepare another and give it to you in the future."
Dave's future is bright because he is Merlin's power's successor, so cultivating strong bonds with people while he is still learning is wise.
"Really?" Dave's voice was surprisingly surprised.
David has worn the dragon ring on one finger for the past ten years, demonstrating his deep-seated obsession with magic and anything associated with it.
"Balthazar, you will fail. You have little chance of winning, and I will return. Morgana will dominate the world sooner or later."
Horvath yelled fiercely, changed into a bunch of insects, and was pulled into the Grimhold by Balthazar's sorcery. A nesting doll reappeared on the Grimhold's outermost layer.
"You can give the ring back to me, Dave. I'll stick to what I said. If you help me locate the Grimhold, I promise never to meddle in your personal life again." Balthazar put the Grimhold away and reached out to Dave.
Dave touched the dragon ring he was holding but took his time taking it off. Finally, he stated hesitantly, as if he had already made up his mind, "I want to learn magic."
Balthazar immediately smiled brightly after hearing this. Jerry, on the other hand, gave a head shake. Dave has not learned magic nor awakened Merlin's power, so it would be difficult to bring him along.
But Balthazar persisted in bringing him to find the Grimhold. The real goal is to let Dave personally experience the allure of magic so that he might fall deeply in love with it once more.
Obviously, Balthazar's goal has been achieved.
"I'm grateful, Master Jerry. We might not have been able to locate the Grimhold so easily without your assistance." Balthazar finished Dave, turned around, and sincerely thanked Jerry.
"It's nothing. Every wizard must stop Morgana from destroying the world." Jerry stowed the broom and waved his hand briskly.
He then appeared to pause after finishing his sentence and proceeded, "I have a request, Master Balthazar. Of course, you are free to reject me right away if you feel it is wrong."
"What request? I will gladly accept as long as it doesn't go against my ideals."
Balthazar continued to be quite impressed by Jerry, a young wizard with good strength. His magical ability is so exceptional for someone his age that he defeated Sun Lok and severely hurt Horvath.
He almost believed that Jerry was the rightful heir to Merlin if it weren't for the Dragon Ring's confirmation that Dave was the one.
Because of his advanced age and exceptional magic skills, it is difficult to think of anyone else who could pull it off. He thought that he would not oppose Jerry's request as long as it did not go against his moral values.
Jerry explained, "My teacher unexpectedly passed away not shortly after I began learning magic, despite the fact that our Hogwarts school has always been a private institution. I picked up some magic on my own, but there are still a lot of concepts I cannot grasp on my own."
"I came to New York this time to see if I might learn magic further. My teacher previously informed me that New York might have many wizards."
When Balthazar heard Jerry's explanation, he was shocked. He never imagined that Jerry would have such remarkable abilities at this age, yet most of them came from his own study without organized instruction.
What a strong magical talent it takes.
"Master Jerry. If you want to learn magic with me, come and learn together with Dave. You can ask me questions if you don't understand anything." Balthazar agreed to the suggestion without waiting for Jerry to explain it fully.
Balthazar no longer has any sectarian beliefs in his heart because he has lived for 2,000 years and witnessed the growth and changes that have occurred throughout 2,000 years of human history.
Now, killing Morgana totally, finding the Dragon Ring's heir, saving his girlfriend, and granting the teacher's dying desire is his sole purpose.
Jerry is a powerful wizard who can't be defeated easily, even though it might overcome Dave's potential in a short time.
Jerry's magic strength needs to be enhanced, which is similar to developing a strong ally. This will greatly aid the ability to face Morgana in the future. Why wouldn't he want to? Also, Jerry was a big assistance in getting the Grimhold back this time.
"Well, Master Balthazar, thank you." Jerry's face lit up when he heard Balthazar's answer.
He had no doubt that Balthazar would agree to his request, so he was delighted to learn that he did so easily. He must master the power of this world quickly because Balthazar is guiding him, and Sun Lok is in the suitcase.
"We must, however, locate a location where we can practice and study magic. It is preferable to remain unnoticed and difficult to find by regular people." Balthazar turned to face Dave and Jerry.
"I haven't been in New York for very long, and I'm now staying in a hotel, so…" Jerry shook his head.
"I have an idea."
David raised his hand at this point and stated, "I have a big laboratory in an abandoned subway corridor. My professor found it for me through his connections. The location is very hidden, and ordinary people basically don't go there."
"Very well, let's go there then." Balthazar nodded and looked at Jerry again.
"It's also really good, in my opinion." As long as Jerry can learn magic, he doesn't care where he does it.
The iron eagle that had already defeated the pterosaur flew down again, thanks to Balthazar's magic.
The three of them and the eagle soared in the direction of Dave's underground laboratory after Jerry cast the Disillusionment Charm.
Report chapter Comments
New York's Manhattan, on an abandoned subway corridor.
The wings of an iron eagle fluttered as it steadily descended to the ground. Then, one after the other, a middle-aged man, a young man, and a child leaped from the iron eagle. It was Balthazar, David, and Jerry.
"Follow me here." Jerry and Balthazar walked through the subway corridor behind Dave. They observed a sizable basement filled with diverse gear and equipment hidden behind a massive iron gate at a corner.
"I've been experimenting physically with plasma. It is safer to conduct the experiment here because it is rather risky." Dave entered the basement, pushed the test apparatus aside, and explained.
He was already able to collaborate with the professor on plasma experiments as a sophomore. Dave possesses a strong physics talent in addition to his magic ability.
"By the way, this has been delayed until now, even though it was intended for you ten years ago." Balthazar nodded with approval after scanning the entire basement, then reached into his pocket and handed Dave a book the size of a thumb.
"Your book is here."
"This book is really small." Dave said, staring at the handbook in Balthazar's hand, which was about the size of a thumb.
After hearing this, Balthazar flipped the book, which soon quadrupled in size, doubled again, and grew far larger than a typical suitcase.
The paper-thin book instantly inflated when he finally pressed it.
Balthazar smiled as he placed the bulky wizard's book in Dave's hands and explained, " That's just for the convenience of carrying. All of Merlin's magic, as well as all of the Merlinians' magic, is contained in this book, along with any relevant art or history. Every apprentice has to have this book."
He once more turned to face Jerry as he spoke. "You may also see at it to see all the magic. You can learn it if you find it useful."
"Thanks!" Jerry appeared to be gazing at the thick magic book with two tiny suns in his eyes.
He has only been in this world for a few hours, but he has more than 160 hours left, which is more than enough time for him to memorize all the magic in the original book.
"You all need to take a step back for a while because I'm about to make the Ring of Merlin."
Balthazar made his way to the central area of the basement, where he waved to Jerry and Dave and told them one by one to go.
"What is the Ring of Merlin?" Dave asked with a hint of curiosity after moving to the lab's perimeter.
Balthazar was poised to cast a spell as he stood in the middle. He paused when Dave asked a question and said, "This is our school's special supplemental learning magic. It can speed up the wizard's meditation in the Ring of Merlin and aid in faster learning and comprehension of magic."
"You simply need its auxiliary learning magic function. You have all of Merlin's magic strength when it comes to meditation. You don't need to spend a lot of time on it right now, you need to know how to do it. Nonetheless, Master Jerry can use it later."
He then turned to face Jerry once more, "Master Jerry, what level are you at right now?"
"How many levels? I have no idea how many levels there are. After my teacher died, I haven't tested it."
Jerry's level is unknown. How does he know? There are no levels among wizards in the "Harry Potter" universe. The quantity of magic power a wizard possesses in their body is a mystery from birth.
But remember that you can only control a certain amount of magic power when you're young. Your ability to control magic power will develop as you age. You can essentially control every magic power in your body once you turn eighteen.
Later on, the key areas for improvement are magic control, magic research, and magic comprehension. A first-year wizard, for instance, can only release a little flame with the same amount of magic power, but Dumbledore can do the same with a large fire to clear the path.
Although some adult wizards believe they possess far more magic power than other adult wizards, this is not necessarily the case; rather, many of them have a greater magic power usage rate.
But this universe is different. The concept of meditation exists in this universe. With consistent meditation, you can raise your magic power level. There is no maximum amount.
The level of magic power, however, merely indicates the amount of magic power you have available. It does not demonstrate your strength. The power and control of magic determine the specific strength.
"I'll carve the Ring of Merlin in a while, and I'll help you test your level." Balthazar said with a nod.
After finishing his sentence, he opened his hands, closed his eyes, and started to create the Ring of Merlin.
He observed that as Balthazar abruptly raised his hand, strong magic power erupted from his body. His body was the center of a circle that appeared quickly as a result of magic. Immediately afterward, a blue magic flame was ejected from the ring.
The blue flames obeyed Balthazar's repeated hand motions and followed a predetermined magical trajectory as they started to cut circles with letters forming inside them.
There are a total of six letters. Jerry can barely decipher the meanings of three of the letters—thinking, learning, and acceleration—and he is unsure of the meanings of the other three.
These letters are ancient runes, and third-grade Hogwarts courses include ancient ones. Jerry is just in the first grade currently, but he already has a good understanding of him because of his knowledge.
A little ring surrounds the ring of Merlin, which comprises six larger small rings arranged in a series. The wizard can experience rapid meditation and magic learning as long as he remains in the little ring in the center.
"Dave, come over and take a position in the center."
Dave was stunned when Balthazar called him, allowed him to proceed to the center of the Ring, and started the Merlinian acceptance ritual.
Following the ritual, Dave was formally accepted as Balthazar's apprentice. Once the two left the Ring of Merlin, Jerry proceeded to the center to feel its effects. While it didn't come close to being his "Refreshing," it did appear to have the ability to speed up thinking.
The Ring of Merlin can be useful even in the absence of red stars or when you are experiencing mental or physical tiredness. Thus, mastering it has certain advantages.
Moreover, it has the ability to quicken the pace of meditation, which does not appear to be the case with "Refreshing".

"Master Jerry, come over here so I can gauge your level for you." Balthazar waved to Jerry after the apprenticeship ceremony, who was standing in the Ring of Merlin.
"All right, Master Balthazar, just call me Jerry." As Jerry heard this, he smiled and approached.
While Balthazar has been alive for more than two thousand years, he is a genuine high-level wizard. According to his age, his past life and this life are combined, and he is just a younger brother.
"Very well, then." Balthazar gave a nod.
He previously named Master Jerry since Jerry is very strong and helped them, so he deserves of some respect.
"Just stand still." Balthazar touched Jerry's forehead with one hand as Jerry observed Balthazar chanting an unidentified spell, and a weak magical wave instantly flowed from his forehead to his entire body.
Balthazar gently took back his hand and was shocked a moment later, "Level 30, I didn't realize you were only thirty, and a level thirty wizard killed a level five hundred wizard. I haven't experienced anything like this in probably in 2,000 years."
The difference between level 500 and level 30 is too big, even though a wizard's level cannot accurately reflect strength. In the realm of wizards, a strength of level 500, such as Sun Lok, is seen to be a high-level wizard, and it might not be feasible to create one for hundreds of years.
A wizard of level 30 is considered an apprentice because their training in magic only lasted a few years. It is still a question of whether he can release the simplest fire spell.
"Level 30?" Jerry was not at all discouraged after hearing Balthazar's evaluation, but rather excited.
His level is currently only 30, which means that even though he has been learning magic for about a year, he will only be at level 100 or level 200 when he is an adult, and his level will soar to the top.
As a result, when he masters the meditation practices in this world, his magic will get stronger and stronger.
If things continue to progress in this manner, it might not be too long before the magic power within his body can be comparable to those of the adult wizards, perhaps even surpassing that of top wizards like Voldemort and Dumbledore.
"All right, now step on the Ring of Merlin, open the book, and I'll begin to explain the most fundamental practices."
Balthazar assessed Jerry's level before introducing the most fundamental meditation methods for wizards to learn.
"Each meditation technique has small nuances, but the fundamental idea is the same. Meditation is the most fundamental skill a magician can learn. What I'm about to teach you is how the Merlinians used it."
"Clean your mind of all distracting thoughts, put on your magic ring, concentrate as instructed in the book, and then begin to build up magic power. The idea behind meditation is to give your brain something to think about."
Jerry rapidly reached the state after switching on "Refreshing" as instructed by Balthazar. Jerry clearly noticed a little rise in the magic power in his body in accordance with the meditation technique described in the book.
Although not significantly, it is indeed rising. He could use one-tenth of the magic power that existed in his body previously, and as he gets older, he will be able to use a larger pool of water.
He now draws water from the outside world into this pool through meditation, which uses more water and causes the pool to grow. If this keeps happening, eventually his pool will turn into a small river, then a lake, and finally a sea.
"I don't appear to be feeling anything," He raised his hand and said weakly after spending some time in meditation.
Balthazar responded, "I don't think it's normal, because you inherited Merlin's magic power, and you already have a big magic power in your body similar to a level 1000 wizard."
"The only thing you need to do to benefit from meditation is to learn how to do it. For you, meditation is not the main concern. Learning all forms of magic, especially the lightning magic I created for Morgana, is most crucial for you right now."
Jerry was successfully taught to meditate by Balthazar. He is aware that the Merlinian way of meditation is currently the most effective technique available and is unquestionably superior to Jerry's Hogwarts school.
And for David, he had already inherited Merlin's powerful magic, so meditation could only increase his capacity to sense Merlin's magic.
To beat Morgana, Dave must become proficient in magic, hone the magic skill he acquired from Merlin, and eventually match Merlin's level.
"By the way, these are plastic-covered leather shoes that can block electricity. In the future, try to wear leather shoes. Otherwise, if you receive an electric shock, the current will go through your body and out to the ground, causing nerve damage and temporarily immobilizing you."
Balthazar pulled a pair of prepared leather shoes out of his suitcase and gave them to Dave.
"Do you really have to wear leather shoes?" Dave scoffed as he inspected the old leather shoes.
"Of course, wizards will die if they are unable to cast their magic." Balthazar replied.
Dave pointed to Jerry beside him and said, "But Jerry didn't wear leather shoes either."
Jerry turned to gaze at his feet. He was sporting some sneakers. Although wizards in "Harry Potter" have a strong capacity to manage magic and get their magical power from blood, there is no guarantee that they will still be able to do so if they are electrocuted.
"Yeah, my teacher passed away before he told me about it. Also, I'm not shocked yet."
"Jerry, yours is equally important, and I'll get a pair ready for you tomorrow." Balthazar told Jerry.
"Ohh, okay, then. I greatly appreciate it." Jerry concurred with a smile
After seeing this, Dave was forced to put the leather shoes on his feet.
"If you understand how meditation works, it'll be easy, and you'll gradually get used to it. The first magic I will teach you is called Lightning Ball, and it is the strongest lightning magic I have ever made based on the laws of physics and magic over the past two thousand years."
The attack speed is incredibly quick, and the power is also very good. It simply needs to be produced by combining your hands in this way. The enemy's magic power will be disturbed after being struck by the lightning ball, and they will soon lose their ability to cast magic. Keep in mind that this magic is the main one you will study going forward, Dave."
As he approached Jerry and Dave, an impressive ionic light ball materialized between Balthazar's palms.
Report chapter Comments
"This blend of magic and science is to be expected from a wizard who has lived for more than two thousand years." Jerry secretly adored the lightning ball in Balthazar's hand.
In previous life, only sci-fi movies had attacks of this type of magic, but today a wizard has invented them, and he admired them.
The destructive force of a single attack has actually surpassed the destructive power of the majority of magic, even though there is a significant difference in power between this sort of magic and the lightning ball in science fiction movies.
Several spells have amazing effects, but their destructive power isn't so great.
It is comparable to the Killing Curse that will kill you, but if you block it with a stronger shield, it might not be able to penetrate it.
The fact that this magic has so much potential is crucial. In the future, if Jerry is ready to devote more time to learning this magic, he might be able to create a magic that is superior to many attacks.
For instance, at the movie's end, Dave created a beam or used magic bursts similar to a machine gun. One thrust with both hands joined produces an effect akin to a powerful ray.
Of course, it is assumed that Jerry has enough magic power, therefore, the wizard level still needs to be raised.
Balthazar first demonstrated the workings of the lightning ball before going into great detail about the workings of magic, specific tactics, safety measures, etc.
Jerry kept "Refreshing" on the entire time, and when the power from the Ring of Merlin was paired with that, he worked hard to acquire the necessary magical knowledge.
It is true that receiving one-on-one guidance from a teacher who can break down and explain a great deal of magic knowledge is better than reading books on your own.
Jerry felt that he had already become familiar with the magic of the lightning ball in just 30 minutes.
"I think we should eat something."
When Dave checked at the time, it was already midnight, he hadn't had dinner since he got home and was being pursued, and his stomach was immediately rumbling with hunger.
When Balthazar noticed this, a hint of regret could be seen on his face, "I apologize, but I haven't eaten in 10 years. I forgot you still need to eat right now."
"Do wizards stop needing to eat once they reach a certain degree, Mr. Balthazar?" Jerry asked in Surprise.
Jerry refers to Balthazar as his teacher now that he is learning magic from him, just like Dave used to.
"You need to understand that meditation can not only raise our level but also subtly affects our bodies to a certain extent when we absorb external energy through it." Balthazar said as he nodded.
"First and foremost, our vitality will continue to grow stronger, and the results will be a longer life. Also, once our body adjusts to the magic power, the operation of the entire body can be conducted entirely by the magic power, so whether we eat or drink water is not that crucial."
"Our bodies are stronger than those of regular people thanks to the high vitality, and as a result, we will have greater strength, speed, and resistance to blows."
"But, in order to live forever, one must typically refrain from consuming anything at all. Their level must at least be 300."
"Then, how many wizards in this world are able to live a long time?" Jerry asked again.
"Increasing a wizard's level is not so simple. In other words, only a select few people have the potential to become wizards. After one or two hundred years, many wizards might not be able to discover a disciple with magical talent."
"After becoming a wizard, very few wizards can meditate up to level 300, while most wizards stay around level 200. As far as I'm aware, fewer than ten wizards can advance above level 300 in the world." Balthazar sighed.
If it were so simple, we wouldn't live in an era where technology rules and common people control the globe.
After hearing Balthazar's explanation, Jerry noticed a startling similarity between the wizard apprentices in this world and the cultivators he had heard in his former existence.
The difference between wizards and those who cultivate immortality is that the former takes the world's energy and transforms it into mana.
Immortal cultivators put in a lot of effort to practice, lay a foundation, and then pursue immortality. Besides using meditation to alter the body and lengthen life, wizards also cast various spells to clear the path and prevent incidents.
Wizards must also learn all forms of magic in order to protect themselves.
Having the capacity to survive indefinitely and without food. This second world is not a loss because it essentially resolves the issue of his limited future lifespan.
—–
Outside the subway, next to a burger joint.
Following his meal and beverage, Jerry said goodbye to Balthazar and Dave and started to make his way to his hotel, which didn't exist.
Balthazar spent the night at the lab with Dave while Jerry returned to the hotel, claiming that his suitcase and other belongings were there, and committed to return the following morning.
Of course, the hotel doesn't exist. He was only looking for a location to interrogate Sun Lok. With Balthazar in the lab, it was inconvenient for him to enter the suitcase.
"Repello Muggletum."
Jerry quickly located a deserted alley, performed a Muggle repelling charm, and leaped into the suitcase after leaving Balthazar and Dave.
Sun Lok was still asleep and confined by Jerry's rope charm inside the luggage at this point. He was still under the influence of the sleeping charm. Evidently, Sun Lok's magic power was much weaker than Horvath's, and he was unable to remove Jerry's sleeping curse with his own magic.
After removing a little bench from the space, he sat down in front of Sun Lok. Jerry broke the sleeping spell by waving his magic wand.
Sun Lok awoke slowly, observed the rope around his torso and the wristband that was missing, and looked at his surroundings. He was aware of his situation at this point.
"Are there any other languages you speak besides Cantonese?" Jerry communicated in Mandarin.
Sun Lok surprisedly sent a surprised glance, not expecting him to be able to speak Chinese at such a young age, "No doubt. As a wizard, I am fluent in the majority of tongues from other nations, including several dialects."
Sun Lok is an experienced wizard who has been immortal for a very long time. He is not as old as Balthazar but can cultivate to level 500.
"I had originally intended to kill you. I'll give you a chance because you still have an impact on me. We'll work out a deal. I can set you free once the deal is over." Jerry kept his speech to a minimum and made his point clear.
He has no more than a week to live in this world. He needs a tutor who can lead him as he learns magic in this world year-round because after returning to the main world, he must learn all magic on his own.

There is a distinction between Sun Lok under the Imperius Curse and the regular Sun Lok, despite the fact that he has the Imperius Curse to control him.
He can use the Imperius Curse to make Sun Lok reveal his secrets and to make him do some things, but he wants to make Sun Lok his puppet so he can instruct him on how to learn magic, correct him when he makes mistakes and converses with him about magic, among other things.
One is the ongoing use of the Imperius Curse. To maintain control over Sun Lok, he must keep using the wand to cast the Imperius Curse, which drains mana and slows time.
The Imperius Curse cannot be applied to a target again, which is the second limitation. The target will develop resistance if applied repeatedly, significantly lowering the Imperius Curse's success rate.
In order to get Sun Lok to give himself heartfelt magic tutoring, he planned to use his life and freedom as payment.
Sun Lok gave Jerry a long look before responding, "Okay then."
Sun Lok woke up knowing his situation right away. Without the ability to perform magic, he is essentially just like any other person. He is powerless against this incredibly cunning young wizard.
As he has attained immortality and definitely does not want to pass away in this manner, He will undoubtedly follow Jerry's instructions.
"You stay here for ten years, and throughout that time, you'll do your best to assist me while I learn magic. I'll return your freedom to you in ten years. How about that?"
Jerry presented the requirements he had long thought about after observing Sun Lok's firm response and realizing that he was not a one-sided person.
Killing Sun Lok is just a total waste; ten years are sufficient for him to master all the magic in this world.
"Okay, I hope you can keep your promise."
For Sun Lok, who has already attained immortality, ten years is not a very long time. He hopes that this young magician will honor his word and set him free ten years from now.
"Don't worry. Even if I'm a bad person, I still stick to what I say. But just in case, I believe I still want you to apply my techniques."
"What I want to say is, don't try to lie to me. I will routinely use this magic to test your thoughts, and if you dare to purposefully make mistakes in teaching magic, I will kill you immediately."
"Okay, enough talk. Where is your wizard book made by Morgana?"
Seeing that Sun Lok was about to lose his temper, Jerry was not joking, but asked the important point.
He had to dedicate time to memorizing everything in the Merlinian wizard book because he was unable to take it from Dave. But obtaining the Morganian wizard book would be excellent.
In fact, Jerry is also keenly interested in some of the Morganians' magic.
For instance, the magic that may transform the creatures in the painting into actual objects, shatter the Disillusionment Charm, and the shield Horvath deployed are all great magic.
Sun Lok did not conceal his answer when he heard Jerry ask the question since he understood that doing so would be useless.
"I don't have the Morganian book in my hands. More than a century ago, Balthazar took me and sealed me. It should now be in the hands of this Morganian generation."
"Then, are you able to memorize every spell in the entire book?" Jerry did not find Sun Lok's response surprising. After all, despite searching Sun Lok after defeating him, he was unable to locate the book.
Sun Lok shook his head and said, "Impossible, the book contains a variety of magic made by wizards from other eras. There are infinite numbers, and no wizard could learn them all. "
"We all choose the most appropriate magic to learn and practice based on our individual preferences and talents. At most, we will subsequently add our own comprehension to develop and strengthen it."
"Just like I excel at using fire magic and transmutation magic. Horvath's specialties are the magic forms of air magic, metamorphosis, and reality-bending."
Sun Lok's explanation helped Jerry to understand the situation. In this world, wizards began by studying magic and then devoted the majority of their time to practicing meditation because this is the only way to become immortal.
He didn't have as much time as he had anticipated to study and acquire a great deal of magic.
Most wizards spend too much time researching magic and tend to specialize in one or two sorts of magic. Although magic has powerful combat abilities, they will eventually pass away from old age.
This contributes to the fact that many wizards lack significant fighting skills until reaching level 300.
"The most recent Morganian generation, huh." Jerry started to remember specifics from the movie as he dug around in his memory once more.
He soon knew the response in his heart.
The most recent Morganian, Drake Stone, utilizes magic tricks to perform magic every day to make money, as Drake Stone is not the most well-known magician in New York.
"It appears that I'll stay up late once more tonight." Time was running out, so Jerry sighed and decided to find that person tonight.
Report chapter Comments
Unexpectedly, Drake Stone's location was easy to locate. Jerry didn't need to use any magic to get this person's present address in New York; he utilized the cell phone he had earlier stolen and performed an Internet search.
He is unsure if this is because he lacks practical battle experience or because he is living in excess comfort. This man did not reply at all when Jerry approached his bedside as if he were sound asleep.
Jerry escorted this man to the home's safe and pulled out the dust-covered Morganian wizard book after casting an Imperius Curse.
Jerry didn't do anything to him after receiving the book. Instead, he used the Sleeping Charm, stole his magic ring, and then quietly left. Drake Stone, the latest generation of Morganian wizards, is not a bad person.
His master passed away when he was fifteen, leaving him to pursue magic on his own. Later, he realized that things had changed and that a lot of little magic was all he needed to lead a comfortable life as a magician. Thankfully, he focused on being rich and enjoying life.
Because of his little talent and lack of a teacher to provide ongoing guidance, the likelihood of him achieving level 300 is incredibly low. It is preferable to utilize magic to become wealthy and well-known.
Simply put, once someone has money, they tend to turn wicked, especially if they have magic powers. Therefore, it is certain that they will engage in some unethical behavior behind closed doors.
In the movie, Horvath would not have assisted in stealing the Grimhold if he hadn't shown up at the door. In the end, Horvath used magic to drain his magic strength and perished.
He picked up the book on the Morganian wizard around two in the morning.
Jerry entered the suitcase again after locating a lonely alley near Dave's lab. All wizards in this world, except Merlin and Morgana, must release magic through a medium, yet their bodies are stronger than those of regular humans.
Thus, after coming to an agreement with Sun Lok, he stopped placing restrictions on Sun Lok's movement, allowing Sun Lok to move around and normally live inside the suitcase.
In the suitcase are a backyard and a small villa. The villa is furnished with a wide variety of items. In contrast to the matryoshka doll where he was before sealed, it is much more comfortable here.
Jerry woke early the following morning, rested well, and went to Dave's lab.
The following day, Jerry stayed in the lab with Dave to learn magic and meditate, and at night, he went outside to the suitcase to study magic with Sun Lok.
Jerry discovered that he will never again need to sleep. Since he began to meditate, he has learned that it is possible to substitute sleep with meditation, and the results are far superior to his deep sleep.
He spends his time this week learning magic, practicing magic, and recharging the weariness brought on by "Refreshing" by meditating. However, the usage of red stars was a little bit more than usual.
Thankfully, he assisted in the sealing of Horvath and helped stop Morgana from being resurrected beforehand, which was also a good deed, earning him more than 10,000 red stars.
Overall, the number of red stars did not only not decrease during the week he joined the second world, but even slightly increased.
The only thing he regrets is that, after a week of learning magic, he discovered that, in this world, he already knew how to use Hogwarts magic to use whether that be either Morganian or Merlinian magic.
While many of them are unleashed with effects that are comparable to those of some Hogwarts magic spells, they are not practical to use.
For instance, the Hogwarts Transfiguration Charm can entirely replace the magic known as the Rabbit Summoning Spell in this world, which can summon a rabbit out of thin air.
Jerry is already pretty satisfied. Since he has already got a lot of benefits using just one meditation technique, and also because he believes that magic in general is simpler to employ.
"Jerry, you must come to New York to play again later." Dave and Jerry exchanged farewells in the subway.
After getting together for a week, Jerry regularly assists Dave, who doesn't know anything, because he rapidly picks up magic. Dave continues to think highly of Jerry.
Jerry smiled and replied, "Yeah, it will take four to five months if there are no incidents. As soon as my business is taken care of, I will return and continue to study magic."
"While your magic is already quite good, your level of strength is too low. Improve your meditation techniques. When you attain level 300 as soon as possible, you can study magic with confidence because magic is the foundation." Balthazar reminded Jerry.
He has recently witnessed Jerry's impressive magical abilities. Nonetheless, Jerry can very effectively release all the magic he taught within a few days, even if the power is not as strong as his.
Jerry often taught himself magic using the magic book, even when he didn't teach it. Still, he occasionally came to him for advice.
Also, this helped him fully comprehend how Jerry learned so many different magics at such a young age. He indeed has a little bit of an unorthodox learning style.
At times, he even had the impression that his teacher, Merlin, who was his age, did not have Jerry's aptitude for learning magic.
He has been guiding Dave for a week now and still doesn't know how to employ the lightning ball in the most basic manner.
He was unaware that Jerry's magical abilities were actually only average and that the only reasons he was able to accomplish this feat were via hard work and the effective use of "Refreshing".
Dave sees magic as a hobby, and he must devote some of his days to finishing his studies and pursuing the girl he had a crush on, while Jerry sees magic as the center of his existence.
This week, he employed meditation rather than even a single minute of sleep. One is interest and the other is survival. Dave cannot defeat Jerry, even if his magic skills are equal to Merlin's.
"I understood." Jerry nodded respectfully.
The degree of magic strength and its ability to last eternally is determined by meditation. He obviously places a lot of value on it, but he doesn't express it particularly.
Balthazar will now discover that Jerry's magician level is no longer level 30 if he performs another test to determine his level.
Jerry exited the basement laboratory after bidding farewell to Balthazar and Dave, found an empty alley, opened the panel, and pressed the exit button.
He eventually emerged from his trance and found himself back in the main world, in his home city of New York. He jumped into the suitcase after opening it as he spotted Sun Lok at the villa, a smile formed at the corner of his mouth.
"It appears that bringing people from the parallel world into the main world is actually feasible."

Half a month after returning to the main world.
As they traveled down the road, Haas was being encouraged by Belle, who was in the passenger seat.
"Relax, all my father wants to do is meet you and the kids. It's alright. He didn't protest when I told him about our relationship."
Haas exhaled with relief and said to Aisha behind him, "Aisha, you must listen to your brother and don't be naughty, you understand?"
Haas didn't worry about anything for Jerry. The only thing on his mind is his beloved daughter Aisha. Yet he believed that it wasn't a big deal now that Jerry was here.
At this point, Aisha, who was dressed like a young princess, stayed silent. Her head rested on Jerry's lap as she dozed off sweetly on his lap.
She hadn't slept at all because she had been woken up too early in the morning to get ready.
In response to Haas, Jerry halted his meditation practice, opened his eyes, and spoke, "Don't worry, leave Aisha to me."
Belle naturally told her father about her relationship with Haas because it turned out that after six months of getting along, they already had plans to get married.
After learning that Belle's partner is a police officer with two kids, Belle's father did not oppose, but he stated that he wanted to meet first.
Jerry is also overjoyed that Haas, who has been a widower father for almost ten years, will soon have a wife. Yet, he gave himself some more thought; for some reason, he felt a little more alone in his heart.
The time to consider these issues is not now. Instead, strengthening his power should be the first priority. If his strength is insufficient, everything he has will be reduced to atoms when the threat appears.
Jerry likes to imagine the worst-case scenario, whether in the current life or the previous one and then prepare as much as he can.
He put a lot of effort into earning money in his former life in order to save up for a home, a car, and other wedding-related expenses before finding a spouse. Something caused it to become messed up in that way.
In this life, the same is true. He thinks that once he can handle any crisis, he will consider falling in love, getting married, and starting a family. He can only feel at ease in this situation.
Jerry occasionally felt his heart pound and wondered if his body had reached puberty in this incarnation. When he first saw a gorgeous woman, he would look twice as long, but it was only a basic sense of beauty, and he didn't have any fancy notions.
But today, clearly, something has changed. He determined that he ought to have gone through puberty as a result.
His physical age can be determined to be twelve and a half years old when everything is taken into account, including the time spent in the Harry Potter world. Puberty is also common at the age of twelve or thirteen.
Knowing that he had gone through puberty before, he had a profound grasp of the process. He has done a lot of embarrassing things in his prior life as a teenager, after all.
Jerry shifted his body to the side while giving it some thought, then picked up Aisha's head and set it down on the backseat's pillow. All of his desires and nagging thoughts vanished as soon as he calmly resumed his meditation practice.
"What kind of business does your father have that allows him to live in such a big villa, Belle?" Haas followed Belle's instructions and drove to a massive villa, where he asked his question.
In embarrassment, Belle stroked her hair, "I don't know much about the specifics. I know he appears to supply materials to Hammer Industries and Stark Industries. He seems to be primarily involved in the business of materials. I know how much my father loves me, so he won't try to make things difficult for you."
"Stark Industries? Hammer Industries?" Haas swallowed uncontrollably.
He was aware that Belle's family was wealthy and involved in business, but he didn't feel cowardly.
After all, he also serves as the police station's sheriff and has some background in the business world. He believes that as a small business owner, he ought to be able to handle it.
However, businessmen who can supply materials to Stark and Hammer Industries are not ordinary businessmen. In fact, they have a lot of connections to powerful people in the government.
In the eyes of others, he is probably just a small fish.
Belle's encouraging glances encouraged Haas, but he continued to act unconcerned and rubbed his chest while saying, "It's okay. I believe I can get along well with your father."
"Although Mrs. Belle comes from a very respectable family, why is she still teaching in a primary school when she is so wealthy?"
When he heard that they had arrived, Jerry, who was seated in the back, once more awoke from his meditation state.
He wasn't as astonished about Belle's family history as Haas was. No matter how strong Belle's family was, Haas unquestionably deserved her, in his opinion.
Two bodyguards in suits and sunglasses quickly approached the villa's gate as their rolled up. They relaxed their guard when they noticed Mrs. Belle seated in the car and spoke briefly into the microphone tucked away beneath the suit.
According to Belle's instruction, the gate opened, and Haas parked the car in the villa's underground garage.
Haas is a little taken aback by the variety of expensive vehicles on display—the Audi R8, Lamborghini, Cadillac, BMW series, and other exotics—but the one that Belle drives is the least flashy of them all.

Jerry raised his hand, cast a spell, and tossed it towards Aisha, who was still sleeping, after noticing that Haas had parked the car.
The Reviving Charm may instantly wake up people, regardless of how much sleep they have had, and they won't feel sleepy for a short while after using it. It is not merely a counter for the Sleeping Charm.
Giving yourself a Reviving Spell is a smart move if you fall asleep in class. But if you keep using the Reviving Charm on someone, there's a chance they'll have trouble falling asleep for days and pass away unexpectedly.
Aisha's awakening has never been an easy affair. After all, it is highly problematic for kids, and this Reviving Spell can effectively resolve the issue. The enchantment allowed Aisha to wake up so early today.
Jerry is currently donning the magical bracelet. He can now use magic without a wand, making it more covert and practical. He intends to wear the bracelet when not acting as a wizard, and to swap it out for his wand if that happens.
If not, he would pose as a wizard while holding the wristband. In the event that something happens, he might not be able to keep it a secret from S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Under my power, destroy! Hahaha!"
In her dream, Aisha was riding a broom, wielding a magic wand, casting spells that would destroy the world, and engaging in battle with her two sisters against countless demons when she felt an evil attack coming from the bottom of the abyss.
She immediately felt as though her crown had fallen, the broom had been broken, the strong magic power had slowly faded away, and her spirit had started to trance.
When she awoke once more, everything vanished, the dream was over, and she was back in the car.
"Wake up, Aisha, it's time. We should leave the car now that we are here." Jerry greeted Aisha as soon as he saw her dejected expression and promptly opened the car door.
Aisha unwillingly stepped out of the car after giving Jerry a final glance. She had a persistent sense that something was off.
——
The four of them entered the elevator and soon arrived on the first floor of the exquisite villa.
"Master is waiting for you in the living room, Miss Belle."
An elderly butler who had long since heard the news from the bodyguards was already waiting for the four of them at the elevator entrance.
The four of them took the old butler's directions as they made their way through the area before arriving at the villa's living room.
Aside from a few bodyguards who were present at the time, there was also an elderly man in the living room with half-balding hair who occasionally flashed sly eyes.
One can observe a man in a suit who looked to be in his mid-fifties. He accidentally displayed a hint of contempt on his face when he turned to face Haas, but he immediately covered it up.
"Belle, it's been five or six days since you last visited me. If you have nothing to do, why can't you go home and spend more time with me?" The old man immediately stood up with a full face of adoration at seeing Belle.
"Dad, don't I usually have to go to teach? And you are so far away from the school. Running back and forth is too time-consuming."
Belle started introducing the others, "Dad, this is the Haas I told you about last week, and this is Jerry and Aisha."
"Haas, this is my father. Chuck Pizarro."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Pizarro." Haas hurried forward a little cautiously and extended his hand in salutation.
Haas and Pizarro clasped hands as Pizarro grinned, "Yes, Haas. Don't be nervous, come and sit down."
"Who is this fellow, Father?" At this point, Belle pointed to the man in a suit seated on the sofa to the left.
"This is Mr. Justin Hammer from Hammer Industries, who is young and promising and also a very significant partner of the group. Today, because he had some issues about collaboration, he came here to chat with me, and we just so happened to be together." Pizarro said with a smile.
Hammer got up very genteelly and shook hands with Belle with a smile on his face, saying, "Hello, Ms. Belle. I have long heard that Miss Belle is gorgeous, and she really comes up to her reputation."
He shook hands and then turned to face Haas once more. Haas quickly stood up and prepared to extend his hand, but Mr. Hammer directly ignored him, withdrew his hand, and prepared to sit back down.
This Hammer guy obviously didn't take Haas at all seriously.
"It appears that today's meeting is much more complicated than Mrs. Belle had anticipated."
Since entering the hallway with the "Refreshing" on, Jerry, whose five senses are incredibly sharpened, has been keenly analyzing everyone's faces and demeanor, and soon he found some hints.
Clearly, Belle's father wasn't as eager to meet Haas as Belle claimed, and Justin Hammer most likely came to this location for some reason.
If that were the case, he wouldn't have immediately felt disgusted at Haas. In any case, a significant partner's son-in-law should get along well.
He obviously knew Haas, believed that they were not on the same level, and did not think that Haas could marry Pizarro.
Jerry even caught a glimpse of some of his plans for Belle through Hammer.
Jerry casually snapped his fingers on his right hand while wearing the wristband. Jerry had already made a rough guess.
"Ouch!"
He noticed that Hammer was ready to take a seat, but the sofa beneath him mysteriously slid back a short distance before he could react. He then fell down on the floor.
In the universe of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," wizards most frequently employ the power of Mind Control.
You can use your thoughts to control any being or thing everywhere you look. Those with more energy within are more challenging to control. The wizard's proficiency with this magic determines the degree of mind control.
Jerry just mentally directed this magic to move the sofa beneath Hammer's butt a short distance.
The magic of the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" world shares many similarities with the magic in the "Harry Potter" world, but it also has some unique elements.
For instance, although the impact of this Mind Control is comparable to that of the Levitation Charm, there is no need to chant the spell, and there is no obvious magic light. It is extremely challenging to protect against because it can be discharged with just a snap of the fingers.
If Hammer caused any trouble with Haas like now, Jerry wouldn't hold back.

"Mr. Hammer, are you alright?"
Everyone unconsciously voiced alarm when they saw Hammer fall to the floor. Pizarro couldn't resist scowling at him.
He brought Hammer here today to try and put the two of them together. Why did he act so carelessly when he initially approached her daughter? Is this a joke?
In reality, how could he genuinely consent to marry his beautiful, lovely daughter to a police officer with two small kids?
Pizarro is aware of his daughter's temper, but once a decision has been taken, it can be impossible to change, and doing so will only make things worse.
The same as when he wanted Belle to lead his business empire, she insisted on becoming a primary school teacher instead of running it.
As a result, she moved out of the villa and started to live alone outside when the father and daughter got into a heated argument. In the end, she made a concession and agreed to visit him every two to three weeks.
He was worried that if he opposed this time explicitly, his daughter might wed the policeman immediately away and then return to visit him after she had kids.
Hence, he initially consented but later discovered the executive director of Hammer Industry, who was roughly the same age as the policeman but thousands of times superior in every way.
The goal is for the daughter to clearly see the difference between the two before she makes a decision.
In terms of military equipment, Hammer Industries currently controls the whole nation, and there are indicators that it may soon exceed Stark Industries.
The important thing to remember is that Hammer is still single right now and has less of a negative reputation than Tony Stark from Stark Industries.
"I just slipped my foot," I said, "it's okay, it's okay." In humiliation, Hammer got up, patted his buttocks, and then sat back down.
Of course, despite Belle's beauty, Hammer is highly intrigued by Pizarro's daughter. Despite his wealth and prestige, he can't seem to find any attractive women. He doesn't have the same level of notoriety as Tony.
He is drawn to Belle because Pizarro has a vast business empire that is superior to his own. The Stark industry has long repressed his Hammer industry. They never build weapons that are as potent as those Tony has created and invented.
The world will soon learn that their remote-controlled robots from Hammer Industries are significantly more potent than Tony's armor now that he had finally located Ivan Vanko, a brilliant scientist who can rival Tony.
He will be able to obtain orders from the military like hotcakes as long as this fair is successful. Becoming Pizarro's son-in-law implies that the raw materials for these orders will no longer be an issue.
He was able to merge the two commercial empires after Pizarro's passing, and he completely crushed Stark Industries.
"Jerry, that uncle seems so foolish that he is unable to even sit on the sofa." Aisha couldn't stop laughing as she noticed Hammer fell on the floor.
Jerry listened to the statements and said with a serious expression, "Aisha, don't be like that. I've already said we shouldn't make fun of people with flaws. We need to be compassionate."
They were all seated so close together on the sofa that they could all hear Aisha and Jerry even if their voices weren't very loud.
"Jerry, Aisha, stop talking like that. Mr. Hammer is not a stupid individual." Haas swiftly stared at Jerry and Aisha at this point.
Jerry immediately displayed shock, but he continued to give Hammer a somewhat baffling expression.
Hammer was immediately quite upset by this, but since Jerry and Aisha are still young children, he doesn't really care about the current circumstances. Otherwise, Belle, who loves kids, would view it as a major setback.
At this time, Belle also giggled.
No matter how old their children are, in their dads' eyes, they are still children. They constantly get the impression that their kids are still young, and they need to help them understand where they're going in life.
Pizarro in particular has grown accustomed to making all decisions on his own. He believes that his strategy worked and that his beloved baby girl will undoubtedly follow a more appropriate path and have a brighter future under his plan.
Everyone is aware that he genuinely knows Belle more intimately than he does. Belle felt a tinge of expectation as she watched Hammer appear. She disregarded Haas after seeing Hammer shake her hand and realized that things were going nicely.
That's why she was so ecstatic when she noticed that Jerry appeared to be intentionally making fun of Hammer.
After some awkward introductions from both parties, Pizarro initiated the conversation by speaking first.
It's just that Pizarro's topic had nothing to do with Haas in the slightest. He didn't inquire about Haas's occupation, salary, future goals, or other typical queries. He continued to bring up the subject to Hammer instead.
Naturally, Hammer exuded confidence as he talked about the significant deals he had struck with various generals in the military, which congressman he had dinner with at a posh restaurant, and so forth.
The acquaintances he makes are all prominent figures in the political and military spheres, which is obviously the point in order to demonstrate how wealthy and socially connected he is.
Compared with this, Haas is nothing.
Jerry placed his hand under the coffee table and cast a Tickle Spell as soon as he noticed Hammer speaking passionately.
"I think Hammer Industries will be able to advance further and surpass Stark Industries to become the most powerful military enterprise by the end of the expo I host in Queens next week. Tony Stark is nothing more than a clown ah hahahahahaha!"
Hammer spoke for a moment, then abruptly started laughing. Pizarro nodded and grinned in agreement with Hammer's remarks, so it is clear that he did as well.
But after laughing for a moment, he quickly recognized that something was wrong since Hammer never stopped laughing. The more he laughed, the happier and louder he grew.
The whole atmosphere became awkward.
"Ahem, Mr. Hammer." Pizarro reminded him while pretending to cough.
"Hahahaha… I don't know why, but I just feel so funny." Hammer said.
"Jerry, can you not see what I mean?" Aisha turned to face Hammer, who had been laughing for five minutes.
"Don't be like that." Jerry said.
Haas couldn't do anything. Belle dipped her head and covered her mouth and Pizarro's mouth twitched. He believed that choosing to find Hammer today was an utter mistake.
