Chapter 292: The Mahjong Girl Takes Action (Second Update)
"Director, there's an important video for you to see, it's about the Wizard!"
At that moment, Hill knocked on the door outside the office.
Nick Fury, upon hearing it was about the Wizard, immediately asked Hill to come in.
"Director, this video was captured by our satellite in Florida, along with the recently compiled related intelligence."
Hill placed the tablet on the desk and started playing the video.
The video showed Jerry summoning a tornado to shred a cruise ship. The accompanying information detailed the recent S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation into the Kilian Extremis Virus and the overall situation.
After watching the video, Nick Fury took a deep breath, feeling even more conflicted.
The more powerful the Wizard became, the stronger Earth's defense against Aliens would be. However, it also meant the Wizard would be harder to control.
Initially, he had considered using more aggressive methods, but now it seemed best to avoid them.
One misstep could lead to an uncontrollable situation. If he angered the Wizard, causing the Wizard to not only stop helping against the Aliens but also to take revenge on Earth, it would be a disaster.
He was a smart man and knew how to maximize benefits. When the risks far outweighed the benefits, it was unnecessary to take such risks.
The disaster caused by the Space Gem research was a perfect example.
"Jerry Carmen, putting aside all the Wizard's identity, do the abilities he normally displays meet the admission standards of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy?"
Fury asked Coulson, a thought crossing his mind.
Coulson, upon hearing this, examined the information carefully and said:
"Except for his age being slightly younger, his learning ability, character, and other aspects all meet the admission standards of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Science and Technology."
"Good, Coulson. Find a way to get the S.H.I.E.L.D. admissions office to see this information, but be careful. We can't order them to admit him. It has to look like they discovered this talent by chance and decided to recruit him on their own!"
Nick Fury instructed.
He knew how vigilant the Wizard was. If he directly ordered the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy's admissions staff to recruit the Wizard, the Wizard might catch on.
If the Wizard discovered that his identity had been exposed, there was a high chance that the Wizard would use the Magic that erases memories or other strange Magics, which would be problematic.
Therefore, he needed the admissions office to "accidentally" discover Jerry as a promising candidate and then approach him for admission. This would reduce the likelihood of exposure.
Of course, the main reason was that the Wizard's real identity in the real world already met the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy's admission standards, so there would be no discrepancies.
Additionally, according to investigations, Jerry's family seemed unaware of his identity as the Wizard.
Thus, with the persuasive skills of the admissions office professionals, even if the Wizard himself was reluctant, there was a good chance they could convince his family to agree.
"Director, you want him to feel a sense of belonging after joining the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, thereby reducing his hostility toward us!"
Coulson, one of Nick Fury's trusted agents, immediately understood his intention.
"I believe that if he stays there for a few years, he will change his opinion about us."
Nick Fury said firmly.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy was a place specifically for training S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, not only action experts but also the most brilliant scientists and technical talents.
And the academy ensures that students learn and experience the founding principles of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the mission to protect Earth.
Many students who graduate from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy join S.H.I.E.L.D. driven by the noble ideal of protecting Earth.
Nick Fury believed that in such an environment, the thirteen-year-old Wizard would find it hard to remain unaffected, leading to a certain degree of ideological change.
Who knows, she might even voluntarily join S.H.I.E.L.D. after graduation.
"Sixty thousand, higher than I expected!"
Upon returning to the New York villa, Jerry immediately opened his Panel to check the growth of Little Red Stars.
He had initially thought that this trip would yield no more than two or three thousand Little Red Stars, but the final tally came to sixty thousand.
But it made sense. He had expected to deal with ordinary terrorists, but instead, he faced a group of Superman-like Extremis Warriors, which naturally earned him more Little Red Stars.
Each of those Extremis Warriors could cause significant trouble if left unchecked.
And their leader, Dr. Kilian, had plans to control a country and spark a global war.
Despite the short two-day trip, the outcome was highly satisfactory.
First, he had earned a substantial number of Little Red Stars. Second, he had formed a good relationship with the Vice President, effectively placing an informant at the highest levels of government.
Don't underestimate the position of Vice President. Although Jerry could crush him like an ant, the Vice President's influence was considerable.
For instance, if the Vice President used his network and position to pressure S.H.I.E.L.D., even Nick Fury would have to yield.
"Oh, the Mahjong Maiden is about to make a move!"
Just as Jerry was about to close his Panel and continue studying Magic, he received a message from Little Green Dragon, a smile spreading across his face.
He then pulled out his modified Magic Camera and vanished with a Phantom Shift.
Five minutes earlier, Aisha had said goodbye to her friends, including Annie, and was walking to the nearest subway entrance as usual.
Since starting middle school and moving to the villa district, she had been commuting home by subway every day.
"Little Dragon, didn't you say that my responsibility as a Carmen Mage is to collect the remaining eighty-eight Carmen Mahjong tiles? I can now skillfully use twenty tiles, so why aren't we looking for the rest yet?"
It had been over a month since she obtained the magical Carmen Mahjong tiles from the basement of her family's villa and became a Carmen Mage.
In that month, under Little Green Dragon's guidance, she practiced daily in the villa garden and could now skillfully use twenty Carmen Mahjong tiles. However, Little Green Dragon had not taken her to find the remaining tiles, which made her anxious.
"Um, I just woke up, and my strength hasn't fully recovered, so I can't sense the location of the remaining tiles yet. We need to wait a bit longer!"
The dragon, disguised as a toy, replied helplessly from Aisha's shoulder.
It wasn't that Little Green Dragon didn't want to take Aisha to find the remaining tiles; the problem was that the owner hadn't even made them yet.
"Help, thief! Catch the thief!"
At that moment, a woman's cry for help echoed from a short distance away at the subway entrance.
A young man with multicolored hair clutched a leather bag and sprinted in Aisha's direction.
