Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

Gu Yi nodded slightly.

Just as she guessed, if there really was a wizarding world in this world, she couldn't possibly not know about it; the only possibility was that it didn't belong to this universe.

However, the child wasn't exactly lying; the wizarding world was indeed real to her.

“Thank you for clearing up my doubts. You are welcome to visit Kamar-Taj anytime in the future,” the Ancient One said slowly.

"Uh... is that all?"

Hermione was a little confused.

"Of course, otherwise what do you think I would do?" Gu Yi smiled faintly.

"Do they think I'm some kind of dimensional demon, an alien invader, or something that needs to be driven off Earth?" Hermione thought to herself.

Seemingly sensing Hermione's thoughts, the Ancient One said, "The world portal is on you, and I can't stop you from coming. Besides, I'm sure you're human, unlike some dimensional daemons that need to devour planes. Why would I bother trying to expel you?"

"Moreover, although the future has already been affected and the images are intermittent and unclear, I can be sure that because of your arrival, many people may die in the future, but... this is not necessarily a bad thing for the world."

Many people will die? That's not necessarily a bad thing?

The conclusion seemed contradictory, but Hermione quickly understood it.

The Ancient One was indeed someone who wanted to protect the Earth, but she never cared about just one or two people, or even tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of people; she cared about the future as a whole.

She can sacrifice everything for a key figure, and she can stand by and watch countless people die without doing anything, as long as the future is good.

If she truly cared so much about human lives, given her abilities, she could have wiped out the entire enemy force the moment they arrived during the Chitauri invasion. She wouldn't have bothered sneaking around on the rooftop to clear out the remaining soldiers and watch massive casualties occur.

Because this kind of future is the best.

The meaning of the first story is also very clear: Hermione's appearance disrupts the timeline and will bring a lot of death, but the final result is beneficial to Earth, so she can't be bothered with it and can even be friends with Hermione.

Once Hermione understood this, she immediately relaxed.

The two sat facing each other, staring at each other without saying a word.

Gu Yi wasn't embarrassed at all. Having lived for over eight hundred years, she had seen it all.

Hermione, on the other hand, was a little uneasy, feeling the awkwardness of sitting at a table with a distant relative she wasn't very familiar with during the Lunar New Year, unsure of what to say.

Moreover, this place is too dilapidated; it's only suitable for ascetics, not for someone like her.

"Haha... If Master Gu Yi is alright, I'll be going now." Hermione chuckled dryly.

Gu nodded, got up and opened the portal, which led directly to the top of Stark Tower.

Hermione turned and stepped into the portal, then suddenly remembered something and quickly turned back to ask:

"By the way, can I read books in the Kamar-Taj library from now on?"

Gu Yi paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Hermione turned around again, then suddenly remembered something and asked back:

"By the way, may I ask you for guidance on arcane magic in the future?"

Ancient One nodded slightly.

Hermione turned to leave, but then suddenly turned back:

"By the way, do you still have that tea? I thought it was quite delicious. Could you take ten or eight pounds home with you...?"

Gu Yi's lips twitched, but he didn't answer; he just looked at her silently.

"Oh, right, that Agamotto..."

Before he could finish speaking, the portal slammed shut with a "whoosh," leaving not a single spark behind.

Hermione: "..."

If you don't want to lend it, then don't. Why close the door? You're such a cheapskate.

cut.

……

[The Curse]

[Magic Transformation Lv1]

[Condensing magic power and transforming it into various forms]

[Portal lv1]

[Open and maintain a portal connecting two different spatial nodes]

【Mirror Space lv1】

[Create a mirror space and control all changes within it. The interior is isolated from reality and can block low-level spatial magic effects.]

Big gain!

Hermione looked at the spellbook, her smile even more uncontrollable than AK's.

As expected of a cheat code, as expected of a magic book!

Just like that, she got the Ancient One's skills for free!

Magic transformation and portals are not very useful to her, but Mirror Space is definitely a god-tier skill!

It combines control, attack, imprisonment, and other effects, making it a true all-rounder.

It consumes an extremely large amount of magic power, and controlling the internal changes requires additional magic power output.

Hermione finally understood that when Doctor Strange used the Mirror Dimension, he would only use it briefly and then stop, and he only used it as an auxiliary tool, rarely relying entirely on the changes within the Mirror Dimension to fight enemies.

I can't afford it!

I've had a great time at Kamar-Taj, so I can take this time to relax for now. I'll go back and get the Ancient One for free when I have more time later.

What needs to be done now is to deter certain people.

To dare lay a hand on her is to treat her like an easy target.

……

Washington, D.C.

Alexander Pierce left the World Security Council and returned home.

Leaning against the sofa, he felt a vague unease.

Perhaps sending a ghost to capture that witch lady is not a good choice.

He knew of such a person before, but only that he was suspected to be a superhuman, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Nick Fury had already made contact with her, but he hadn't shared what he knew with anyone. If he hadn't suddenly decided to form a secret countermeasures team and recruited Crossbones and others, even he, the minister, would have been kept in the dark about the existence of the wizard.

He wouldn't allow anything within S.H.I.E.L.D. that Hydra couldn't control.

Although the information about the wizard was incomplete, a child, no matter how powerful, could not possibly escape from a carefully planned capture.

Once Hydra gains mastery of the magical power known as "magic"...

Just as he was lost in thought, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"So you're the one who sent people to attack me?"

Chapter 57 A Visit

"who!"

Alexander Pierce was startled and immediately turned around to draw his pistol, only to find that there was nothing behind him.

Hallucination? No, there really was someone behind me just now... Pierce narrowed his eyes.

As a seasoned agent who entered the field during the Cold War, even now that he is old and a high-ranking government official who no longer needs to go down to the front line, his agent instincts have never failed him.

"Didn't you want to see me? What, you're scared now that I'm actually here?"

The voice sounded again, but this time it was beside him.

Pierce quickly looked to the side and saw faint ripples appearing in the air, and a girl in a black robe slowly emerged.

Upon witnessing this supernatural scene, Pierce's pupils contracted, as if he had realized something.

"You are... the witch?"

"Bingo!"

Hermione snapped her fingers.

Although there was only a little girl in front of him, Pierce did not dare to let his guard down at all, and instead gripped the gun in his hand even tighter.

"Put it down, this thing is useless to me."

Hermione said calmly.

"So it's the witch lady who graces us with her presence. What brings you here so late at night?" Pierce seemed not to have heard her.

Seeing Pierce's stubbornness, Hermione shook her head helplessly:

"Except your weapons!"

A flash of red light, and Pierce felt his hands slip out of his control, the gun in his hands being bounced away in an abnormal trajectory.
