Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

"My fans love to see me slice bad guys in half with my heat vision, or punch villains into space."

"And..." Ah Zu sighed, looking like I was in a difficult position.

"I'm very busy, Ancient One."

"I have to rush to various events, film the 'Homelander' movie series, give interviews, interact with fans around the world, and manage a company worth trillions. My daily schedule is so precise that even my bathroom breaks are planned down to the second."

"How could I possibly have time to sit in the Himalayas and learn from you how to spin a prayer wheel with my mind?"

Gu Yi looked at him with a hint of helplessness.

To possess such astonishing talent, yet indulge in worldly vanity, is a utter waste of talent.

"Are you really not going to consider it? Even if it's just for..."

"I won't consider it," Azu said decisively.

But then he changed the subject, his eyes becoming cunning.

"but……"

"If you insist on it."

"I can... occasionally attend an 'interest class'."

"Hmm... about once a week, or once a month?"

Ah Zu gestured towards Wanda with his palm.

"But the prerequisite is that you have to accept Wanda."

"This is a bundle deal, Ancient One. Buy one, get one free."

Gu Yi smiled helplessly and returned to her seat.

"Using your business negotiation skills here is really..."

"Okay." She turned her gaze back to Wanda.

Let's go back to the original question.

"The conflict between the powers of chaos magic and white magic."

"This remains a potential problem."

"No, this is not a hidden danger, it is the antidote."

Azu interrupted her, his expression turning serious, and began to expound his core theories.

"Ancient One, do you know why chaos magic is dangerous?"

"Because it is disorderly, it is out of control. It's like a wild horse without reins."

"That's why white magic is needed to intervene and maintain balance."

Azu stretched out his hands, his left hand clenched into a fist, and his right hand open.

"Just like the ancient philosophical theories of the great Eastern country."

"Yin and Yang give rise to each other; isolated Yin cannot produce anything, and solitary Yang cannot grow."

"If you leave her to figure things out on her own, she will eventually be consumed by an even darker force."

Azu's eyes became deep and unfathomable.

"You wouldn't want to see her become the jinchūriki of some evil god someday, would you?"

Gu Yi stared at the man in front of her in shock.

He was dressed in a bodysuit and cloak, looking like a movie star, but the words he spoke pointed directly to the most fundamental secrets of the magical world.

"You know... far more than I thought, Mr. Starr."

"...You're right."

After a long silence, Gu Yi finally let out a long breath.

She turned her head and looked at Wanda, who was nervously clutching the hem of her clothes. A hint of compassion appeared in her eyes.

"Wanda Maximov..."

"...I am willing to accept you as my disciple."

"Really?! Oh my god!"

Wanda exclaimed in surprise. She couldn't even believe her ears.

"Thank you! Thank you so much, Master!"

Then he turned around and hugged Ah Zu tightly.

"I did it, Anthony! You're amazing!"

Azu chuckled and patted her back, feeling the girl's chest heaving with excitement.

"You deserve it, sweetheart."

"I hope she won't tear this place down." Gu Yi looked at the two of them and shook her head helplessly.

"Since it's settled, I'll leave the person to you."

Azu loosened Wanda's clothes, stood up, and stretched his cloak.

"Then we won't bother you any longer. After all, I have to rush back to attend a charity gala."

"etc."

Gu Yi called out to him.

She flipped her hand, and an old-fashioned book appeared in her palm.

"Since we're going to start 'weekend interest classes'..."

Gu Yi handed the book to Azu.

"This is your pre-study assignment."

"What's this?" Azu took the book and flipped through it casually. It was filled with all sorts of geometric figures and complex spell explanations.

"These are some of my musings on magic from when I was young..."

Azu closed the book, feeling the faint magical fluctuations on the cover.

This is His Holiness the Venerable Master's own handwritten notes; it's priceless.

Thanks.

Azu didn't mince words, simply put it into his magic space, and turned to leave.

"I'll check, especially if I'm in the bathroom."

Wanda then got up and escorted Azu to the rooftop.

Ah Zu walked to the edge of the terrace, and Wanda followed, looking at him with reluctance.

"Um... Anthony, how often do you come to see me?"

"Study hard here."

Azu lowered his head and gently kissed Wanda on the forehead.

"Once you learn that circle-drawing trick, you can come back anytime to heat up my milk. It won't be difficult for you."

"Okay." Wanda sniffed and gave a determined smile. "I will work hard, and I will become the strongest mage."

"I trust you."

"boom--!"

Air burst.

Azu soared into the sky and vanished into the clouds in an instant.

Wanda stood on the terrace, looking up until the red and blue black dot was completely out of sight, before reluctantly turning her gaze away.

"He's a very special person, isn't he?"

The voice of the Ancient One rang out behind them.

"Yes." Wanda turned around, her eyes resolute. "He is my hero."

"Perhaps this is also your destiny," the Ancient One silently added in her mind, but said aloud, "Alright, since you've stayed, let's begin."

"Put that broom down first."

Gu Yi pointed to the Nimbus 2000 that had appeared in Wanda's hand at some unknown time.

"We don't ride this here. We use slingshots."

……

A sharp whistling sound pierced the sky above the Water Tower.

Ah Zu descended from the sky, landing on the building's platform and walking directly into his top-floor office.

The renovation here is complete, and it's even more luxurious and impressive than the original VGD headquarters.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the entire Manhattan skyline.

"Welcome back, Mr. Starr."

A gentle voice rang out.

SkyNet is standing next to the desk, and her current outfit is quite interesting.

A black and white office lady business suit.

The white shirt was unbuttoned up to the second button, revealing a glimpse of her deep cleavage.

The black bodycon skirt accentuated her amazing waist and hip curves.

She wore black semi-transparent stockings on her legs and red-soled high heels on her feet.

She's practically the perfect secretary who stepped right out of that hard drive.

Ah Zu looked her up and down and whistled.

"Looks like your aesthetic sense has been upgraded? This outfit... really fits my definition of a 'perfect assistant'."

"This result was obtained through big data analysis."

Tianwang pushed up his purely decorative gold-rimmed glasses.

"Data shows that this outfit can increase your dopamine levels by 15%."

"Yes, I do like it."

Ah Zu walked to the office chair, sat down, put his legs on the table, and let out a relaxed sigh.

"Speak, what's the new situation?"

Yes, and it's very important.
