Eddie and Dora were all nervous as they watched Sebastian carefully.
The dark wizard Sebastian Shaw, known as the most mysterious of the Avengers, might appear to be an ordinary young man on the surface, but the sight of him orchestrating and coordinating with the others to easily defeat the four powerful symbiotes had been seared into their minds, leaving them terrified they would be captured as well and experimented on.
Of course, the two symbiotes within them were the ones they feared most of all.
Scream was fine, but Venom was already wreaking havoc in Eddie's mind, constantly urging him to escape or launch a surprise attack. He felt he would be extracted for experimentation like Riot and the others, after all. Venom remembered that he had crossed Sebastian so many times before, and he did not dare bet on whether Sebastian would forgive him.
"This matter has come to an end here. As for you two, I hope you can come with me. This is to reduce some unnecessary trouble and it will also be good for you both.
Otherwise, the Shadow Council will definitely come to you, and then you will only have two choices available. Either reject the Shadow Council and let them extract the symbiote in your body and kill you.
Or join the Shadow Council and help them do evil, and then we will come to your door to extract the symbiote and imprison you for life.
There are only these two possibilities and choices. It all depends on how you choose."
Hearing what Sebastian said, Eddie and Dora looked at each other and nodded to Sebastian together.
"Mr. Sebastian, we also want to protect the innocent. It may not sound entirely plausible, but we truly do."
Looking at Eddie, Sebastian nodded and said, "Your previous actions have already proven something, so there is no need to be so nervous about this.
Of course, many things require certain procedures. I will arrange for you to enter S.H.I.E.L.D. first. You will work directly with Tony, also known as Iron Man. If you have any questions, please let him know immediately and ask for his help.
After your probationary period, I will recommend you to join the Avengers."
Both Eddie and Dora yearned to become Avengers, so upon hearing Sebastian's words, they immediately agreed without hesitation.
Seeing this, Sebastian opened a portal and took them away. The rest was a matter for the police and S.H.I.E.L.D. to handle.
After escorting Eddie and Dora to Avengers Headquarters and handing them over to Agent Hill there, Sebastian returned to Hogwarts.
Hogwarts had now resumed its normal curriculum, offering both required and elective courses.
In addition to the required introductory magic courses, there are also standard cultural courses taught by highly educated teachers. First-year students will be taught using simultaneous interpretation magic, but this is no longer the case after the second year. Students can choose to either learn English as their primary language or independently study simultaneous interpretation magic.
The first-year magic courses consist of five basic magic courses: Elementary Charms, Elementary Potions, Elementary Magical Materials, Elementary Alchemy, and Detailed Explanation of the Magical World.
There are only three elective courses: Introduction to White Magic, Introduction to Black Magic, and Magic Combat.
Five exceptionally gifted teachers, selected by Sebastian, teach Elementary Potions, Elementary Magical Materials, and Elementary Alchemy.
The Detailed Explanation of the Magical World is taught by a magic teacher recommended by Kaecilius. When he joined Sebastian's staff, he was already seventy years old, making him the oldest among the magic teachers. This allowed him to travel extensively and gain a deep understanding of the world's magical society.
In fact, he led other magicians in compiling the textbook "Detailed Explanation of the Magical World," earning him the trust of Kaecilius.
The final course, "Elementary Charms," was taught personally by Kaecilius, the Vice-Headmaster. As Sebastian's first student, he was naturally fully qualified.
Regarding the final elective, Daniel from Kamar-Taj was currently filling in for the "Introduction to White Magic," while Wanda, a master of the subject, was teaching the "Dark Magic." Sebastian himself was in charge of the final "Magic Combat" course.
While the others might be capable of teaching the course, they had only recently been exposed to Sebastian's branch of magic and sometimes struggled to control their blows, preventing them from accidentally killing students.
Therefore, Sebastian chose to teach the course himself, intending to let go once the other teachers had truly matured to a competent level.
Returning to Hogwarts, Sebastian washed and rested in a room adjacent to the Headmaster's office, changed into his robes, and headed directly to a clearing in the woods behind the castle, which had been fortified with magic to serve as the venue for the "Magic Combat" course.
Sebastian stood there, gazing at the gloomy sky. His wand materialized in his hand, and he pointed it upward. A flash of lightning shot forth from it, piercing the clouds. The dark clouds quickly rolled in and vanished, and in an instant, the sky cleared once more.
Sunlight streamed down, first illuminating the ten sentinels kneeling atop the castle.
These were sentinels Tony had crafted, no less capable than the originals. In fact, now networked, they possessed even greater analytical power and intelligence, serving as Hogwarts' second line of defense, alongside the magical defensive formations.
It is also worth noting that Sebastian's two original sentinels, one guarding the Reality Stone in the Hogwarts Vault, and the other guarding the Space Stone atop Hogwarts' Space Tower, had been forged with Sebastian's unwavering dedication. Even if the entire Shadow Council arrived, they would not be able to break into Hogwarts in a matter of seconds.
Currently, Hogwarts has a total of 185 students, divided into six classes. Except for the last class, which has 30 students, all the remaining classes have 31 students.
However, not everyone chooses Magical Combat. Students can choose at least one elective course, and up to three. However, those who choose all three are rare.
After all, they were still children. Even if it was magic, once the novelty wore off, it would be no different from ordinary school. People are all the same; things that come too easily are often not cherished too much.
Sebastian waited here for about five minutes. The students who chose the first class of magic combat arrived one after another. Soon, a total of seventeen people stood before Sebastian.
