Chapter 219: Damn, Why Is It You?
🕑 Added 2025-07-03 02:50:40 +0000 UTC"Teacher, what's up?"
Looking at the space door that suddenly appeared in his room, Noah immediately guessed who was coming.
When a magician uses magic, there are strong or weak magic fluctuations. However, the calm magic fluctuations, like the surface of a lake, are not something ordinary people can create.
Noah once speculated that when a magician completely reaches the level of ten or above, they wouldn’t even perceive when using magic.
Of course, there's no answer to that for now. Master Ancient One is in the process of divinity transformation, and the characteristics of her life are moving toward a higher stage.
She hasn't completely attained eternal life, so Noah is unclear about these issues.
Perhaps when Master Ancient One reaches a higher stage, Noah can ask her for advice.
But Noah has doubts about whether she will remain on Earth once she reaches that stage.
"There are indeed some things you need to see."
Master Ancient One stepped out of the portal with a gentle expression, touched Gugu lying on the sofa, and smiled.
"What's the matter? Is there another vampire? Or is there a guy with superpowers doing something wrong?" Noah glanced at Gugu, who was contentedly lying down, and shrugged.
"I guess so. Do you know those mutants?"
"Mutants? Of course, I know them, but I've never dealt with them. In my memory, they don't seem capable of handling their own problems. The Ministry of Magic is still debating what they really are."
Indeed, Noah hadn't dealt with mutants for many years, mostly because he didn't want to engage with them for the time being.
Another key reason was that the Ministry of Magic had been having ongoing discussions about mutants.
To be honest, it is difficult to classify mutants. They are neither magical beings—since they don't use magic at all, relying solely on their innate talents—nor are they ordinary humans, as humans don't possess any special abilities.
So mutants awkwardly found themselves in a gray area.
Additionally, their leaders often made inexplicable decisions, making their situation seem to worsen over time.
Currently, they remain unaware of the magical world, and their relationship with ordinary humans is becoming increasingly strained.
Professor Charles’s mental power is indeed very strong, and his old friend Eric helped him build a machine to extend his mental search ability, which made his powers even more formidable.
But unfortunately, a purely mental life form without systematic training struggles to detect the existence of magicians.
He still uses the X-gene as the base for his investigations.
Even with special powers to search, it is difficult to detect magicians.
While magicians in the magical world may be weaker, the magic technology that has been developed over the years is no joke.
Whether it involves space or time, magic practitioners are well-versed in manipulating these, with space folding and time converters as prime examples.
I won’t go into too much detail about space folding technology, but time converters are quite intriguing.
At one point, Noah also wanted to study them but felt he didn't have the necessary expertise.
He understood the role of time converters and ultimately chose not to pursue it further.
Upon joining Kamar-Taj, Noah asked Master Ancient One about them, and she responded, "That technology is indeed remarkable, but its maximum efficiency is only one day. During that day, you must ensure you don't encounter your past self, and any actions you take must be rectified later."
The most crucial point is that those who study this technology often don't survive to advance in their research.
The individual who didn’t believe in evil ended up in the cemetery—well, it's not actually him. He has disappeared, and only some of his belongings remain there.
How could mutants, relying on mental power, discover the magical world? If that were the case, the magic world would have been exposed long ago, with no way to hide or protect it.
"Yes, they're still negotiating," Master Ancient One nodded. "But I think we can go ahead."
"Go ahead?" Noah scratched his head. "Teacher, did you sense something bad?"
"I think so. Mutants have great potential, but the way they learn to control their abilities is..."
"Bad?"
"Well, that's what you said, not me, Noah."
Noah rolled his eyes. Professor Charles' methods were certainly questionable.
All he taught were physical and chemical principles, with very little practical application.
Noah couldn't understand why the learning ratio was like that. Was something off with their approach?
"So, you want me to interact with them?"
"Yes, at least understand their mindset, and if possible, introduce them to the magical world."
"Uh, are you sure the magic ministries won’t cause trouble for me?"
"Why not take them to the British Ministry of Magic?"
That was an interesting suggestion.
Taking them to the British Ministry of Magic was an option. Under Dumbledore's leadership, the situation there had stabilized. He even returned to Hogwarts to attend classes when he had free time.
If they could bring these mutants to the British Ministry of Magic to help them adapt, it could be a good solution.
As for the future...
Once the magical ministries of various countries reached an agreement, they could send the mutants back.
Mutants were a big deal, and if they agreed to the arrangement and the ministries worked together, the magic world would ensure they weren’t taken advantage of.
"I understand. I’ll go and check it out." After considering it, Noah nodded in agreement.
Right now, mutants might not be too dangerous, but once targeted by humans—especially when facing sentinels—their powers would drastically increase.
Mutants in that scenario were truly terrifying, but for now...
"Take a few students along to broaden their horizons." Just as Noah was about to leave, Master Ancient One added, "And don’t forget your cat."
"Take students? Fine, I'll take the three I mentored in my first year."
"Yeah, it’s your decision. Also, bring your cat."
"So, are we walking cats and snakes, or are we tracking those mutants with powerful abilities?"
As Noah strolled through Washington, Evan watched him with a small green snake wrapped around his neck and an orange cat at his feet. He had a look of helplessness.
Not just Evan, but Kate and Lance felt similarly.
Especially since they knew there was a black Scottish round-faced chicken flying above them.
It didn’t feel like a mission to find someone—it felt more like a casual outing.
"Of course, we’re looking for mutants. This just shows they aren't using magic but rely on a special ability."
Noah shrugged indifferently, then pointed to Gugu, who was walking beside them. "The teacher asked me to bring her along. You’re familiar with Nagini’s situation. As for Hathaway, she and I share a special bond. I can see through her eyes."
Indeed, this was a new magical ability Noah had worked on in his spare time.
He couldn’t forget how, as a straight man, he played the game God of War: Assassin, where a character named Alexios used a similar ability.
Noah had only been able to experience it in-game, but now he could make it work in real life.
He spent a good amount of time crafting a similar magic for himself.
Unfortunately, Hathaway wasn’t as human as Ikaros, so Noah didn’t bother finding an eagle.
Owls were technically a type of eagle, right?
Hathaway no longer had to deliver letters, so Noah decided to experiment with her instead.
The result wasn’t bad, though Noah wasn’t accustomed to seeing through the owl's left eye in normal mode and the right eye in black-and-white mode.
"It’s a shame owls are colorblind. Otherwise, this ability would be even more useful."
Indeed, owl eyes were like high-powered telescopes, and Noah couldn’t help but feel Hathaway was unusually sensitive to light.
But none of that mattered. Noah continued guiding the group toward their destination.
Noah’s target: the U.S. Capitol. Interestingly, you could enter the Capitol whether or not there was a meeting.
Unlike the White House, the Capitol didn't require a ticket for entry—only a security check.
To be honest, the security seemed pointless for them.
For ordinary people, it was just about checking for dangerous items like bombs or guns. But for magicians, such things were not a concern.
Upon entering the Capitol, Noah and the others followed the crowd toward the House of Representatives. Honestly, in another year, it might no longer be possible to walk in like this.
After all, several planes had struck the World Trade Center in New York, and many places that were once open became restricted.
Noah found himself wondering, would that happen again in this world?
Of course, whether it did or not was irrelevant to Noah. As soon as they entered, Noah immediately spotted a familiar face.
A smile tugged at his lips. It had been five years since he last saw this person.
Thinking back, Noah made his way toward the figure, while Evan and the others—tasked with hiding the cat—followed obediently.
Soon, they arrived at the corner near the House of Representatives. Before them stood a black man leaning against a fence, watching a woman in red make a report below, her expression serious.
He seemed lost in thought and didn't notice their approach until...
"Hey, man, what are you doing?"
"Huh? Uh! Oh! Shit! Damn! How did you get here?!"
