"Sectumsempra!"
On the coffee table, Jerry waved his wand at the apples. The cup on the right side of the apple instantly burst out of a hole after the wand discharged an unseen, sharp blade.
"This accuracy could still use some work."
Jerry shook his head helplessly after taking a glance at the whole apple and the cup next to it. He is now able to successfully release Sectumsempra after extensive practice, but because of his magical might, the power he employs is not extremely potent.
He requires Sectumsempra to strike wherever he directs. It is best if a fly flies by. He has an unseen, razor-sharp blade that can precisely remove the fly's wings. He will need to practice a lot and for a very long time, so of course this will take time.
"Reparo!"
He cast a restoration spell to return the cup next to the apple to its original state and then repeated the ritual. But as he tightened his grip on Sectumsempra, a series of fire truck whistles abruptly erupted from the outside.
"Why are there so many cars?"
After giving it some thought, Jerry quickly grabbed a bag from the room and hurried outside after noticing at least three or four fire vehicles passing by on the road outside the complex.
There is a fire, and perhaps many people are going to be trapped. Once they are saved, he should have a ton of red stars.
----
Abandoned warehouse.
Jerry hurriedly retrieved the wizard costume from the bag, put it on, and rapidly exited the warehouse while riding a broomstick while chanting a spell.
"There!"
Jerry, who was flying high in the air, saw the seven or eight fire vehicles speeding down the street and immediately sped on the broomstick, closely following them.
"Oh God, what is that?"
"Mom, there's a bird in the air!"
"There are individuals flying around on broomsticks in this strange world, I tell you!"
The sound of the fire vehicle's siren attracted a crowd of bystanders, who all shouted in surprise as they saw Jerry flying beside the fire truck.
Jerry used to work at night, so only people nearby the crime scene or the police who later requested surveillance could see him.
As a result, many people still don't believe in a character like a "Wizard" despite the fact that most people have heard of them.
Everyone is aware that numerous media outlets enjoy exaggerating the facts in order to get traffic. Just a typical wizard? Or perhaps it's simply a random magician performing a show in public, like David Copperfield performing flying-related magic acts.
But the sky was clear and bright today, on this sunny day. They actually witnessed a wizard-clad man soaring through the sky with a broom that appeared to be devoid of any high-tech components. They continued to be stunned. Nothing about this speed suggests wizardry.
Jerry didn't care as he gazed down at the stunned onlookers on the street below. The public's discovery will happen soon, and he has psychologically prepared himself for it.
Gaining more red stars while swiftly increasing your strength is the key. Everything else won't matter as long as his strength increases. He constantly worries about these things because he is not one of those true superheroes.
Of course, it's preferable to make an effort to present a positive image to the public. Otherwise, being viewed as a major villain and losing against other superheroes might be problematic.
He must uphold the greatest moral standard in order to make it safer, to put it more plainly, at least on the surface. Being well-known is beneficial for an event like today's fire rescue.
Jerry deliberately lowered the height of his flight in light of this and waved to the stunned New Yorkers on the street.
Jerry was in the air for approximately ten minutes before he finally noticed the dense smoke rising in the distance. At that point, he jumped into the air and accelerated, directly rushing towards the location where the dense smoke rose from an extremely short route in the air.
His broomstick could travel at a maximum speed of 60 miles per hour, or almost 100 kilometers per hour. He used a shortcut from the air to arrive at the location.
Jerry finally arrived at the scene two minutes later.
Here, a tiny, six-story building caught fire for an undetermined reason along the street. There are currently patrolling police officers on the scene who had previously arrived early to keep the peace. Additionally, some reporters are transmitting the live feed while carrying cameras.
Jerry recognized one of them as an acquaintance. It was Lucy, the previous reporter who enjoyed photographing him. Lucy is a little-known news reporter. Jerry has broadened the potential for obtaining a red star throughout this time.
Today during the day, she was offered a live TV interview with a burger stand. She was only halfway through the interview when she suddenly fled into a nearby fire.
She then launched the live broadcast as she and her cameraman hurried to the scene of the fire.
"I'm your reporter Lucy, and I'm over here on Oak Avenue. Unexpectedly, there was a fire just now. The second-floor fire should have started it, based on the current circumstances. The fifth story is now where the fire is."
"However, many occupants were trapped in the building, with the exception of a few who managed to escape by chance. The situation is urgent, and the fire brigade is still not here!"
"Oh my God, someone appears to be in the sky!"
Immediately after hearing a shout from the crowd of people watching the event, Lucy, who was speaking to the camera, looked up. At one pointed at the broom, which was being ridden by a short man dressed in a wizard's robe, hovered above their heads.
"The magician I've been waiting for all this time is that kid, hurry and point the camera that way!" Lucy screamed at the cameraman as soon as her eyes glowed.
The cameraman responded in a flash. He held the camera up and focused on Jerry as he was flying through the air.
Without wasting any time, Jerry hurriedly retrieved his wand from his pocket and immediately performed a Flame-Freezing Charm on himself. He learned this rather old charm from "Guide to Medieval Witchcraft."
The primary goal is to protect against being burned by regular flames.
The book explains that many wizards in the Middle Ages frequently used this spell on themselves when they were going to be burned at stake after being discovered by Muggles in order to avoid dying from the flames.
Jerry accelerated and rode a broomstick into the fourth story that was engulfed in flames while using the Flame-Freezing Charm.
Those who could have escaped the fire on the second and third floors must have done so, and those who were unable to do so were likely burned. If someone went in to save them, they would now be dead. There may still be hope for the only occupants on the fourth and fifth floors.

"Help! Help!"
Jerry, who had just hurried to the fourth floor, turned on "Refreshing," and significantly sharpened his five senses, he heard a tremulous call for help coming from a nearby room.
He had a plan and rapidly maneuvered around the stones and steel that were falling off in the corridor owing to the violent burning before reaching a flaming red iron door.
"Repello!"
Jerry dashed inside the room battling the flames after a repelling spell smashed the loose iron door away. He discovered a young woman in a nightgown covering her lips and nose with a wet towel in the steamy, tiled bathroom.
As she continued to ask for assistance, the woman's eyes began to stray and her voice became progressively weaker from smoke inhalation. If he arrived later, it is predicted that the other person would pass out and become a corpse as they were consumed by the flames.
"Flame-Freeze!"
The woman in the nightgown was the target of his Flame-Freezing Charm, but Jerry didn't say anything. Instead, he simply picked her up, placed her on his broomstick, and flew out the window, dodging the flames.
"I leave it to you!"
He gave the woman in the nightgown to the officer in charge of preserving order after landing. He again sped into the flames on a broomstick without waiting for the other person to answer.
All of these are red stars. He will lose some stars if one person is not saved.
He spent some time looking before discovering two young men at the elevator's entrance. When the fire started, they undoubtedly tried to flee via the elevator, but the dense smoke knocked them to the ground.
Jerry dashed out of the flames on a broomstick, gripping one arm with one hand, using the Flame-Freezing Spell and the floating spell.
He saved more than 20 individuals, big and tiny, men and women, who were trapped by the flames and plummeted down by the heavy smoke by moving back and forth between the fourth level, the fifth floor, and the half-burned sixth floor.
At some point during this time, the fire department showed up. The fire was finally put out after many fire vehicles simultaneously sprayed water for rescue.
When Jerry eventually put the elderly couple, who were hugging and preparing to die together, who were hiding on the sixth floor's roof, to the ground. He was praised in silence by the onlookers as well as the police officers who were in charge of maintaining order.
For a brief moment, as he listened to the enthusiastic ovation all around him, he even thought that even without the red star, things appeared to be going well. However, he swiftly shook his head and dismissed this dangerous thought.
Even though the current him is only marginally more powerful and invincible than the average person, he shouldn't harbor such arrogant and risky beliefs. He must first take care of himself because that is not something that regular people can do.
" Thank you so much. What should I call you, wizard?" A police officer in a sheriff's outfit approached Jerry at this time, a glad look on his face.
Haas?
Jerry was startled to see the person approaching and reacted instantly, "Wizard, I really like this title. Since I was a young child, I've studied magic in order to be brave and lend a hand to others."
That's correct. Given Haas' position as sheriff, it seems reasonable that he would respond to such a large fire in Queens.
"To have such insight at this age is truly admirable!"
"However, you have to go back to the police station with us, as we need to register your identity," Haas said after first sighing and appearing a little perplexed.
"I'm sorry, my circumstance is unique. I'm sorry I can't go back with you!"
How was Jerry able to accompany Haas back to the police station to register his identity? Hackers with marginally more powerful skills can gain access to typical police stations' secrecy features and obtain his information.
Jerry grabbed the broomstick and took off into the air before waiting for Haas to respond, vanishing from view.
The other reporters, including Lucy, who eventually squeaked in from behind, all lost their focus. Jerry declined to take the interview. He wouldn't have retreated on a broomstick if Haas hadn't just stopped him.
What he said contains numerous errors. He is not a trained psychoanalyst or a professional spy. He might accidentally reveal some of his information if he is not careful because of a few phrases he deems trivial.
Haas expressed some uncertainty in his eyes after Jerry vanished and asked, "Why does this Wizard's voice sound so familiar? "
"What are you talking about, Captain?" The team members standing behind Haas noticed him muttering to himself and peered over with interest.
"It's nothing. Send the injured to the hospital in an ambulance right away." Haas hurriedly gave the policeman his orders in an effort to clear his mind of the weird thoughts.
"But why did we let that wizard go away this time? How about Director George's order?"
"Is there anything I can do? Have you seen it? he can fly. Can we fly? Don't discuss those pointless things. It's more crucial to save people right away. Also, let the director know where I am so they can find me if anything happens."
----
Jerry lifted the broomstick high into the air as he walked away from the fire and unlocked his property panel. He smiled broadly as he observed the attribute panel's more than 3,000 red stars.
He earned a lot of stars for saving a life. He saved more than 20 people at the fire scene and received more than 3,000 red stars, which is more than he would have earned by diligently going on patrol every night for a week.
Indeed, the greater the catastrophe, the more red stars someone can earn for taking part. In fact, Jerry has demonstrated that he may still receive a red star even if he causes a calamity on his own before acting.
For instance, red stars might be awarded if he deliberately set fire to a structure before running to save others. But ever since he learned about this bug, Jerry has quietly resolved that he cannot use it to farm red stars since it would be impolite.
Today, he is able to start fires, save lives, and earn red stars. Tomorrow, who knows that he will kill some civilians along the way?
It is difficult to close Pandora's box once it has been opened. The desires of a human are limitless. If one doesn't know how to control them appropriately, he will eventually turn into a power-mad crazy.
At that point, he will be willing to do anything, even if it means sacrificing the one he loves the most, so long as it can be done in exchange for strength. He had to prevent himself from seeing that.
His first goal in acquiring power was not to acquire power for the purpose of acquiring it, but rather to defend himself and his loved ones. The argument is that there isn't a single airtight wall in existence. If he continues to act in this manner, he will eventually be exposed, at which point he will truly turn into a villain.
How can one become the villain in the Marvel universe? He doesn't want that to happen to him in the end.
He headed back to the empty warehouse and packed the wizard's outfit and broomstick into his guitar bag. After carefully avoiding the crowd and the security cameras, Jerry put on his hat and went back to his neighborhood.
However, a figure unexpectedly jumped out from the side just as he opened the door and was about to enter the room. "Jerry, how can you leave me alone and go out to play?"
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that it was Aisha, who had just woken up from a nap and was already furious at not being able to find him in the entire house.
