Chapter 215 Chapter 215 Learning Never Ends
The Witch of Curses asked, "You two do have magical talents, but what are Diagon Alley and Hogwarts? Where did you hear about them?"
Then, the Witch of Evil Curse and the Corpse heard a lot of settings of the magical literature of this world from the two young fools in front of them, and finally figured out what was going on with these two kids.
On the one hand, they do have magical talents, but on the other hand, like most ordinary people, they take the artistic creation of literary works seriously.
Corpse: "So you two are just looking for ways to buy magic items from us, and how to enroll in a formal school to study magic?"
The talkative child said, "That's right. Ah, maybe the magical commercial street near Bellwood isn't called Diagon Alley, and maybe the magic school isn't called Hogwarts, but it's pretty much the same idea."
"Harry Potter is just a story. There is no Hogwarts in this world."
The evil witch didn't want to listen to such unprofessional words anymore, so she stood up and left the reception room.
"There's no such thing as a savior who can survive the catastrophe after defeating the Demon King!"
The corpse did not stop his niece from leaving, he knew that she still could not let go of that matter.
In their hometown, the dimension where all magic in this world originates - Regidomon, there is such a magic school and a magic commercial street.
But now...all those things, along with their home, have been destroyed by the invaders.
The only precious inheritance from his hometown that the corpse had tried his best to protect was his niece, who had lost her family like him, and the magic book in this mansion.
"I'm sorry... did we say something wrong?"
Although Li Hua never regarded the corpse and the evil witch as companions, he was not a pervert who would dig up other people's scars and pain without any grudge and take pleasure in it.
"Is she okay?"
The emotions and words that the Witch of Evil Curse just expressed were obviously not right.
Generally speaking, it is normal for professionals to show contempt and disdain for works written by laymen and out of touch with the world, but they would not choose the neutral term "savior who survived a disaster" in a brief explanation with only keywords to express such anger and dissatisfaction.
Unless there is some kind of traumatic starting point.
But the corpse clearly didn't want to discuss the matter further, simply saying, "It's okay, it's just teenage rebellion."
Then the corpse started talking about business, and the summary was:
1. Although there is no magic commercial street, it can provide purchasing channels.
2. Although there is no magic school, he can provide magic tutoring classes.
3. If you don't plan to attend magic classes to learn spells, he can also provide magic training methods, and the two of you can practice on your own when you go back.
Of course, all of the above services are charged.
Another note: The corpse does not intend to accept apprentices, and hopes that the relationship between them will be based solely on money.
With the help of Gwen and the automatic page-turning scanner, Li Hua and Jason did not need to attend the corpse's magic cram school. Close contact with a great magician of this level might not lead to discovery.
So the two of them decisively chose the first and third options, using the irresistible reason of "Forget about cram schools, we still have to go to school and participate in various activities to make our resumes look good in order to prepare for the college entrance exam. We really don't have the time."
More money, less work—that was exactly what the corpse wanted. He raised his hand, and a piece of paper and pen appeared in his hand. He scribbled a few words on the paper, then placed it on the coffee table.
Li Hua took a look and found that it was a service bill, which stated that the corpse had charged a total of five hundred dollars for this consultation.
Li Hua rubbed his eyes, making sure he hadn't seen the wrong unit. Then he turned his head and saw the same shock in Jason's eyes.
How much? How much do you want for the corpse?
Wasn't the corpse supposed to be a master-level dark wizard? He even had a price tag clearly marked on the formal bill, and the charges weren't even considered illegal.
Before they came, they had been comparing the Skeleton with Deathstroke, and even considering that the other party was the Darth Vader, they originally thought that the consumption this time would exceed 50,000 US dollars!
The corpse took in their reactions and said coldly, "We don't accept credit."
Jason signed the receipt and took out the bank card he had prepared from his pocket: "Can you accept credit cards here?"
So the corpse brought out the POS machine, and with the successful transfer, the transaction was successfully concluded, in which both parties felt they had made a great deal.
When Gwen saw Li Hua Jason coming back with the receipt, the channels and methods for purchasing magic props and other things, and the daily magic study content for beginners, she still felt it was a little unreal.
No... To be precise, ever since Jason hacked into the bank to check the hacker's account and found his customers from the transfer records, the development of all this has exceeded her imagination.
Next, Jason dug up the identity backgrounds of those customers, analyzed them one by one, and chose the one that was easiest to intervene in, and then he targeted them to create fake identities.
Then, Jason and Li Hua put on simple disguise makeup and began to contact the customer. They seemed to unintentionally reveal that they had recently been "possessed" and received the customer's recommendation.
Thus, they obtained a legal way to find corpses for trading, and the whole process could be traced.
Even during this process, Benjamin was still teaching Gwen...what a niche vocabulary!
Gwen couldn't help but ask, "Ben, did you go to Gotham to be an agent or a spy?"
This was infiltration, hacking, and disguise, and it was really hard for her not to have these doubts.
"If I must say, I went to a detective training class," Benjamin said proudly. "So, who's smarter now? Now it's my turn to teach you how to fight! Oh, you probably can't beat me in real combat now."
Due to his lack of combat awareness, Benjamin was often beaten by Bruce and Jason during weekly tests and daily competitions.
Gwen certainly wanted to learn martial arts, but she couldn't bear to see this childish guy with his tail almost up in the air, so she said, "You're right, but I choose Jason to teach me. He's the best fighter among you, right?"
Jason looked calmer and wouldn't make her so angry that she wanted to throw away her manners and maturity and engage in childish, elementary school-style bickering.
Jason: "Sure, we have sparring sessions every afternoon, you can come over. Kevin also said he wants to come over."
Although Kevin also has superpowers, his superpowers can only give him a defensive BUFF under normal circumstances, and his main means of attack is still fighting and melee.
So Kevin and Jason made a "deal", Jason taught Kevin how to fight, and Kevin taught Jason how to modify alien machinery.
Gwen said, "No problem. I can bring my homework over and do it, and then we can go on patrol together after dinner."
Benjamin: "Gwen, do you want to talk to your aunt and uncle and apply for a temporary suspension of study like me? With your grades, it will definitely be okay."
Because there were fourteen more children in the family, Benjamin communicated with his parents and was allowed to "rest" at home on the grounds of "physical discomfort", and only go to school during exams.
Benjamin's parents were also worried about their son's grades. After all, although only one day had passed, their son had actually not attended school for three months.
This doubt was completely dispelled when Benjamin went to school to take an exam one day and got his transcript.
Unexpectedly, after attending the alternate-world superhero cram school, my son's academic performance improved significantly, and he even got an A in physics, which Benjamin usually failed.
Although they have never seen Batman, the Tennysons are full of gratitude to this teacher whom they have never met.
Unlike his ecstatic parents, Benjamin felt nothing at all when he saw his report card.
After attending the Hell Cram School produced by Batman, Benjamin felt that the first-year high school courses, especially the first-year high school physics questions that he had never been good at, were so gentle and lovely.
In response to Benjamin's concern, Gwen said, "No, I plan to apply to college early, so I need to complete all three years of high school courses."
She wanted to apply early to the best Ivy League school among all the colleges around Bellwood, which would require a lot of preparation.
Although he didn't know what school Gwen was going to apply to, any school she chose would surely be very strong. Thinking of Gwen fighting aliens every night, self-studying all her high school subjects, and planning to apply to college as a freshman, Li Hua couldn't help but sigh, "You Tennysons have such terrifying energy."
Benjamin had always known that his cousin was very talented, and he had no doubt that she would be able to get accepted into college. However, he had not expected that the day of separation would come so soon. He had thought that this separation would not come until at least the graduation of his senior year. “Is it the school in Bellwood?”
Gwen: “No, but it’s the best college around Bellwood.”
"I see... That's good."
Benjamin is the type who needs a partner and companionship. He likes to chat and show off. He is not adapted to and does not like to act alone.
But he will not interfere with other people's life choices, especially not their pursuit of a better future.
Thinking of this, Benjamin forced himself to pretend nothing happened and smiled: "Then you're at a big loss. You won't be able to participate in Kevin and I's awesome operation from now on."
Benjamin's depression was obvious to the naked eye. Even Li Hua, who was practicing telekinesis to control the ice ghost cubs, reminded him, "Ben, Gwen is just going to college, not to die."
I know you're sentimental, but you really shouldn't be so sentimental. If you really wanted to see her, you could get there in less than a second using a Kryptonian.
Not to mention going to college, even if she ascended to Anno Star, wouldn't you be able to see her just the same as a Kryptonian?
Gwen also said, "I haven't applied yet. I can only apply at the end of the year at the earliest. I also don't know if the school will approve my application. The admissions process is very strict. Even if I am accepted, I won't be able to enroll until next year."
Jason was quite interested in college applications: "Gwen, can I talk to you about early college applications later?"
He also planned to apply later. After all, there would be no disadvantage if he failed to get approved in advance.
Gwen: "Of course, no problem, but I'm not sure if the enrollment plans of our two universes are different... I'm not sure if I can give you any reference."
And Jason is now in Bellwood, so I don’t know if his average grade in school has been affected.
Li Hua: "Judging from the fact that the corpses all pay their taxes and open bank accounts, the IRS in your two universes is equally powerful. Therefore, we can infer that the policies are probably the same."
"That makes sense." Gwen thought at this time, "By the way, Uncle Ben and Auntie said that your grades have improved a lot. After this matter is resolved, do you want to apply to college early with me?"
It’s no loss if you don’t pass. Just consider it as an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the university application process in advance.
"...No, thank you. I have to take care of the kids."
Benjamin took a step back silently, holding the baby, and was horrified to find that life in Gotham seemed to be no different from life in Bellwood.
Either I am studying or I am taking care of my children.
-----------------------
Author's note: The Witch of Curse, originally named Hope, was translated as "Witch Carter" in some translations. I used this incorrect translation in a previous chapter but I can't find it for the time being [burst crying]
Hax is her uncle. When Hope was a child, Regedemon was invaded by a magician who was immune to magic but also possessed powerful magical abilities. Hax's brother, Hope's father (Spellbinder, I've forgotten his Chinese translation, I'll look it up later), sacrificed himself to buy time for the two and many more Regedemon people to escape. He died heroically in battle.
Wiki and the original work mentioned: Because the incident happened suddenly, the corpse was not prepared to be a parent and raise a child, so he was very harsh when treating the teenage Hope.
That evil wizard from outside still rules Regidomon.
According to the official Wiki information of the Corpse, the Corpse had tried many times to return to Regidomon for revenge, but was never able to defeat the foreign wizard.
Hope's mother is not mentioned in the wiki or the plot. Judging from how much this family values their relatives, Hope's mother probably died a long time ago.
PS: Please note that even though the Witch of Curse and the Corpse have their own tragic experiences and reasons for turning evil, it is undeniable that they have indeed hurt innocent people, and during the main text period, the two still had the idea of using magical powers to rule the world.
The following contains spoilers for the original work:
Yes, according to the original story, after his only family member, his niece, died (she wasn't dead, he just thought she was), he fell into depression (according to the official wiki). He also appears quite depressed in the series. During this period, he completely lost his desire to rule the world and instead began to find that teaching and educating people could bring him happiness.
After the news of the witch's survival came, some time passed. In the fourth part, she changed her ways, donated all her magic books to the university, and became a professor there.
I even became Gwen's teacher [covering my face with laughter and crying].
Later, he had a conversation with his niece about the love and filial piety of the uncle and niece. Finally, the uncle and niece talked it out and reconciled completely.
