Chapter 3793 The School Doctor's "Daily Life" (Part 8)
As we all know, to promote magic, they previously made a movie called "Ilfamoni." It became a global sensation overnight, and everyone from the three main characters to the supporting actors became famous overnight.
The movie's popularity is undoubtedly partly due to its excellent script. And to enhance the dramatic conflict, it was natural to portray some of the students as villains.
They can't really be called villains; they're more like the main characters' arch-enemies, like Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter. While not some irredeemable evildoer, they constantly cause trouble for the main characters.
While these minor villains aren't particularly evil, they still need to be quite capable to highlight the protagonist's intelligence and courage, and they'll at least have some followers. These followers can only come from the same house as the protagonist; in Harry Potter, it's Slytherin, and in Ilfamori, it's Mercury.
As mentioned before, this academy has produced quite a few dark wizards. The most famous dark wizard, who is also the main villain of this film series, comes from this academy. In addition, he is also unpopular with the other three academies because of his glib tongue and swindling behavior.
These are all movie settings, not real-life situations. However, the world will never lack idiots who can't distinguish between the virtual and the real.
After the spiritual energy revived in the Nine Realms, humanity transformed from a non-magical race into a low-magic race. Even ordinary people with exceptional talents like Gwen can manipulate the natural elemental forces around them. While they can't unleash any earth-shattering magic, they can certainly conjure fireballs and the like.
This is already quite remarkable to ordinary people, as if they could become a great sorcerer tomorrow. Because they have never encountered a demon god, they don't know that their rudimentary skills are no match for the power of a demon god, so they despise the people of Mercury Academy in the movie who obtain their power through deception and trickery.
Among the students from Neptune Academy who came today were several teenagers who had been brainwashed by the movie. When Wanda was around, they were a little more restrained; but as soon as Wanda left, they started making sarcastic remarks, saying that the people from Mercury Academy didn't rely on their own efforts but instead relied on cheating and deception, and that they were dishonest; they said that relying on the power of the demons made them traitors to humanity.
Initially, the people from Mercury Academy, also known as Mercury Academy, didn't take their words seriously. Neptune Academy didn't care about their absurd remarks either, and the Batmen from other universes, completely unaware of the background, didn't understand either. However, there was a Bruce in the academy who immediately became enraged.
Bruce is, after all, an angel, and the angels in DC use power bestowed upon them by God, which is universal. His power can be used here as well, although he didn't bring much with him, but it's enough to teach a brazen teenager a lesson.
Both the main universe Batman and the Arkham Batman knew Bruce Wayne's power, and to prevent him from making a move, they quickly stepped in to stop the teenager who had spoken. However, true to form, youthful arrogance prevailed, and the teenager used his newly acquired magic to conjure a bucket of water and pour it over the main universe Batman.
Actually, that wasn't a big deal; the main universe Batman wouldn't bother with him. But his biggest mistake was aiming poorly. The water balloon he threw hit not only the main universe Batman but also the Arkham Batman.
In a way, Arkham Batman represents all players who have the perseverance, tenacity, and the ability to perfectly complete the game and gather all the collectibles. It would be strange if such a person didn't hold grudges.
He was about to attack the teenager from his academy when Bruce struck. The result was a collision: Bruce was knocked down by Arkham Batman's punch, and Arkham Batman, blinded by the holy light emanating from him, also fell to the ground. Was there any chance they wouldn't fight?
“I swear I wanted to break up the fight,” the main universe Batman said, “but things got a little too complicated.”
Strange initially thought he was making excuses, but then Jarvis arrived with the surveillance video. After watching the entire chaotic scene, Strange was speechless.
When Arkham Batman and Bruce started fighting, in the blink of an eye, Nite Owl charged towards Bruce. Logically, since they were from the same academy and had a fairly good relationship, Nite Owl should have helped Bruce fight Arkham Batman, and he genuinely intended to do so.
But Bruce never plays by the rules. As soon as he saw Night Owl charging at him, he darted behind Arkham Batman and unleashed a Holy Light Strike on Night Owl.
So at this point, should Night Owl, who was stabbed in the back by Bruce, join Arkham Batman to beat up Bruce?
But he didn't. Instead, he focused his energy on Arkham Batman, and the two started fighting.
Night Owl is no match for Arkham Batman; he'd basically take nine punches in three seconds. While the main universe Batman also wanted to take on Night Owl, he was genuinely afraid that Arkham Batman would kill him or leave him paralyzed, so he decided to intervene and break up the fight.
Bruce then pulled him back.
Just like that, a precious opportunity to break up the fight was missed, and Night Owl was immediately taken down. Seeing that Arkham Batman was about to finish him off, Great Adventure Batman couldn't sit still and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
Batman in Arkham didn't really want to kill him; he just wanted to get rid of this eyesore. But Batman in Grand Adventure didn't know that and resolutely wouldn't allow him to get close.
Then, Bruce rushed up again and stood with the Adventure Batman to fight Arkham Batman. Arkham Batman had developed a condition where he wanted to punch Bruce whenever he saw him, so he once again fought two against one, holding his own against Bruce.
Arkham Batman first swiftly defeated Great Adventure Batman, and when he went to chase Bruce, Bruce hid behind the main universe Batman. The main universe Batman didn't want to fight Arkham Batman, so he had no choice but to retreat.
But let's not forget that Mercury Academy also has a master of sarcasm, the Unjust Batman. He's been holding back his anger ever since that teenager insulted their academy. Could he really allow Neptune Academy's Arkham Batman to be so arrogant?
So he and Bruce formed an alliance to fight Arkham Batman. At this moment, Nite Owl also got up from the ground, and the three of them fought Arkham Batman together, like fighting a boss battle.
The main universe Batman saw that one against three was a bit too much, and he was also afraid that the Arkham Batman really couldn't beat the Night Owl's side, so he had no choice but to step in and help.
Even though Batman in the Grand Adventure is still part of the main universe's Batman faction, seeing the main universe's Batman go for it, he had no choice but to go too. And so the two sides stood in a stalemate.
You're asking about the others at the academy? They're just young, not blind. Arkham Batman's punches leave afterimages; no one on the field can withstand a single blow from him. They haven't even learned magic yet; who would dare touch him?
And so the situation remained deadlocked. Then Strange and his men arrived.
It's easy to see that there's a key figure in this chaotic battle; without him, the scene would never have been so exciting.
Strange narrowed his eyes and stared at Bruce.
“Don’t you have anything to say?” Strange asked, looking at him.
“What can I say? I’m the victim!” Bruce said, wiping his mouth. “That person insulted our college first.”
"Then hit him! Why hit someone else?"
Schiller quickly tugged at Strange's sleeve. Strange thought about it for a moment and realized that what he had said was indeed inappropriate; after all, he was the principal and shouldn't encourage students to fight.
But actually, Schiller just didn't want Strange to reveal his true nature as the Sorcerer Supreme too early; he was hoping Strange could use his profound magical knowledge to stall the Batmen.
“I didn’t mean to hit anyone,” Bruce said. “We both wanted to hit him, and then we bumped into each other. I thought he was going to hit me, so I had to hit back.”
"Then why did you hit him when he helped you?" Strange pointed at Night Owl.
“I had a past conflict with him, and I’m afraid he’ll sabotage me.”
"So you have no grudge against him?" Strange pointed at Arkham Batman.
“I have grudges against all of them, so isn’t it better for me to deal with the strongest one first?”
"Then why did you drag him into this?" Strange pointed at the main universe's Batman.
"He's the second strongest here, which is why he can deal with the strongest one. I just want him to protect me."
"Then why did you end up fighting them alongside them?" Strange first pointed at Night Owl, then at Batman from the main universe.
“We’re from the same academy!” Bruce raised his voice. “Neptune Academy insulted us first! Of course I have to help my fellow students fight them! Otherwise, wouldn’t I be a traitor?”
Strange slapped his forehead. He realized that bullying did indeed exist at the school: Bruce was bullying everyone.
"Get out of the way! Go back to your seats!" Strange roared. Seeing that he was really angry, everyone obediently returned to their seats.
"I must emphasize to you that this is a school, not a training ground or trenches. You should help each other, be harmonious and friendly, not fight at every opportunity!"
“Here it comes,” Bruce said, though he didn’t dare move. “The teacher who tried to smooth things over in the bullying incident is here.”
After saying that, he gave an emoji to Injustice Batman, who was standing not far away. Injustice Batman calmly replied, "A very classic setup. Next, we'll probably see the most unassuming student in the class waiting at the door after class, telling us not to mess with the bully, because he's a relative of the principal..."
Strange was so angry with them that his head was spinning.
"You! Stand up!" Strange yelled at the teenager who had been swearing earlier. "Why did you swear at other houses?!"
“That’s how it’s portrayed in the movie,” the other person said, also feeling wronged. “This academy has produced so many dark sorcerers; I’m just stating the facts…”
The Batmen exchanged glances.
The Batmen had no idea that the school was a relatively new institution, with a history of less than two years. Looking at the artificially aged castle, they assumed it was at least several hundred years old, so some dark history was to be expected.
They naturally took what the teenager said seriously—this Mercury Academy had produced many dark magicians in the past, which led to many people having prejudices against them now.
As for the so-called "movies," they understood them to be documentaries or adapted films. After all, if magical culture has a long history, then it's perfectly normal to have artistic works that record these phenomena.
Most importantly, look at the people this academy admits. They may not know other ordinary people, but don't they know Night Owl, Bruce Wayne, and Injustice Batman?
The Batmen from Neptune Academy exchanged glances, all conveying the same message: "There's definitely something wrong with Mercury Academy."
