Chapter 3643: Problems with the Magic Academy (Part )

"How is it going?" Scarlet Witch Wanda brought Schiller a cup of coffee. Schiller sat at his desk, looking at the documents in his hand without raising his head and said, "Our trip to Massachusetts made no progress and brought no useful changes."

"Is the environmental protection problem so serious?" Wanda frowned slightly and said, "Why not go to space? There is a lot of space there and there won't be any pollution."

Schiller lowered his head and smiled, saying, "Madam, we established the magic school to train talents who can maintain the magic defense network of the earth. If we put the magic school outside the magic defense network, what is the magic defense network used to protect?"

"I really don't understand," Wanda said, "You should try the temperature of the coffee. I'm good at that."

"Thank you, ma'am." Schiller took a sip of coffee and commented, "It's just the right temperature and the flavor is good."

Wanda stood up with a smile. Schiller glanced at the desk and stopped her: "They have sent your internship report, ma'am. If I sign it now, you can change your resume immediately and apply for a job freely; if it is a week later, I can recommend you to my colleagues at the Hopkins exchange meeting. Which one do you want?"

"What do you think?" Wanda walked over and closed the door. She said, "Interning here feels completely different from being in a community hospital. There, efficiency is more important. As long as more people can receive treatment, my behavior style doesn't matter. But since I came here, I have to make sure I am gentle enough and greet everyone with a smile. No matter how unreasonable they are, I have to control my temper."

“It’s not really a difference between hospitals,” Schiller said. “You go to the nursing unit at New York-Presbyterian and you go to the emergency department and you see two completely different types of nurses. Which one you choose depends on which one you prefer.”

"Which one will be more useful? I mean which one can save more people and free more people from the pain of illness."

“You can’t compare like that.”

"I thought you were going to say emergency."

Schiller shook his head and said, "Wrestling with death is indeed admirable, but sending a soul that has been tortured by illness on its last journey with a gentle attitude is equally valuable. There is no difference between the two."

"This is a bit difficult for me to decide." Wanda came over and sat down. "I think I can do both well, but I can only choose one. Which one do you think I should try first?"

"Let's go to the emergency room."

"why?"

"Considering your sentimental nature, ma'am," Schiller said as he wrote something on a document, "the emergency room will keep you busy and have no time to feel sorry for others, which will be good for your mental state."

Wanda thought about it carefully and nodded. Schiller handed her the internship report and said, "Come to me anytime if you have any ideas."

After Wanda left, Schiller continued to look at the documents in his hand. He was not dealing with the work related to the sanatorium, but was still reading the report related to the magic academy.

Ding-ling-ling, the phone rang. Schiller picked it up.

"Hello? Nick? Yes, it's not done yet. I'm looking at the data sent by those damn testing agencies. Although I don't understand how much damage a few small stones piled on a piece of land that has evolved for 46 billion years will cause. But out of respect for the environment, I'm still trying to read it."

"Yes, I know the problem is not environmental protection. But compared to questions like 'whether to allow people from other universes to come' and 'is it safe to let them come', I still care more about our Mother Earth."

"Okay, if you want to hold a meeting, go ahead. But don't expect me to say anything constructive. I really need to understand whether building a castle will affect the underground water veins there."

After hanging up the phone, Schiller placed the projector in front of his desk, operated it, and connected the communication. Many people's avatars appeared in it, including Nick, Steve, Stark, Loki, Strange, Professor X, and so on.

"Good morning everyone."

"Good morning."

"It's not morning here anymore."

"Well, I wish all the best to you all."

They exchanged a few pleasantries and then got straight to the point.

"Opening access to other universes has met with great resistance," Nick said straight to the point. "Congress almost unanimously voted against it, Asgard remained noncommittal, and the three major empires are unlikely to agree. What do you think?"

"This is a matter for our entire universe," Steve said. "We can't act arbitrarily. The key is that if people from other universes come here and cause some trouble, and then they are brought into the universe, then humans will be responsible for it."

"Wasn't there any trouble when Spider-Man came here before?"

"That's Spider-Man! Even if you put ten thousand Spider-Men together, they might not be able to cause as much trouble as one Batman. They just have louder voices. The barking dog doesn't bite." Nick shook his head and said.

"Be careful Batman puts a camera in your bedroom," Stark snorted, "Maybe they know what we say now."

"Anyway, I think this is a very risky matter," Loki said. "Although on the surface we only recruit students from various universes, what if their parents insist on coming to see the school? We can't refuse guardians' requests to visit the school, but their coming will make many people nervous, including local civilians. Not everyone can accept a weirdo in a bat costume and tights wandering around outside in the middle of the night. We have simple folk customs here!"

"That's true," Nick nodded. "If Batman wants to send his child here, then he will definitely come. If he really comes, he won't leave easily. At least he will turn our place upside down. Then I really won't be able to explain to Congress."

"I know this is a risky decision," Strange said, "but if it works, it will be of great benefit to us once the situation stabilizes. If each Earth has a magical defense network, it will greatly reduce the risk of external attacks and give them more resources to help each other."

"They all have to accept our favor, and we will become their leaders. I don't need to tell you how powerful the leader of a human alliance across the universe is, right? If it weren't for this, why would I run around so much?"

"What Stephen said makes sense," Professor X said, "Danger is proportional to opportunity. It is indeed risky to let students and parents from different universes come to us, but if the children receive education here and let our universe become their alma mater, they will naturally lean towards us emotionally, and will not sit idly by if anything happens in the future."

"No, we have to take a long-term view," Stark said. "If we want to be the leader of all the people in the universe, we can't just think about our own interests, and we can't be emotionally kidnapped. Instead, we must sincerely consider other universes. Or, in other words, consider the entire human race in the multiverse. Only with such courage can we deserve it."

"It would be a good idea to start with magic," Strange continued. "We have something that no other universe has. It's a very powerful bargaining chip. We hold the key to changing the situation, which means we can negotiate with them."

"And Batman's condition is that they must come here," Nick said, spreading his hands. "You all know how curious they are about our universe, needless to say. They absolutely, must come here, and stay. Such a big thing cannot be kept secret from Congress."

"It's too late to say this, they already know it, and they obviously reject it. Otherwise the congressman wouldn't have raised any environmental issues. They are expressing their opposition," said Steve.

"I wonder why we care about those politicians," Stark said. "We're just building a castle there, what can they do to us?"

The others all shook their heads. Nick said, "It may sound ridiculous, but I still want to emphasize: it is not the country that needs superheroes, but the superheroes that need the country. The majority of the inhabitants of the earth are ordinary people, and the purpose of the national government is to manage these ordinary people. This is the best way at present."

"If there is no country, do we have to deal with things outside the universe, make technological breakthroughs, and manage billions of people at the same time? Can you do it?"

"Since that's not possible, we need to maintain the status quo and let the national government manage ordinary people. This can save us from the endless administrative hell and give us more spare energy to do other things. This does not change because of which country or which government does a good job."

"Since we need a government, we can't completely ignore their opinions. Because to some extent, they are reflecting the opinions of ordinary people. Just like Loki said, if we say we want to bring people from other universes to our universe and make a big mess, 90% of ordinary people will not agree."

"We don't have to be constrained by the politicians in Congress, but we must fully consider the opinions of the vast majority of ordinary people in the main civilization on Earth. Although politicians have their own interests, they will occasionally reflect public opinion for votes."

"Occasionally?"

"Yes, very occasionally. That's what happened this time."

Stark sighed, obviously having nothing to say. Nick continued, "This is not a plan like the air transportation system or the Mercury construction that can immediately reflect human development and benefit ordinary people. It takes at least a dozen years for a magic school to educate a generation of people. There is even no sign of the so-called human alliance."

"It may bring about great turbulence, but there is no short-term return. Most politicians and ordinary people don't like this. In fact, I don't like it either, because all investments are risky. A generation is enough time for too many accidents to happen."

“What do the Chinese say?”

"There is no news at the moment. I think they may be discussing it," Nick sighed and said, "In my opinion, they may choose a more compromise method, such as placing the magic school on an alien planet."

"Isn't that okay?" Steve asked.

"Of course not. We need magic schools to be protected by the Magic Defense Network. If we leave magic schools far away, doesn't that mean we don't want students to be protected by the Magic Defense Network? Isn't that a blow to our reputation?"

"What does Asgard think?" Steve looked at Loki and asked.

"We thought you just wanted to build a magic school within the Nine Kingdoms, but we didn't expect you to build a multiverse magic school. I have to say this is a big step. Considering the need for national defense of the Nine Kingdoms, Thor may not agree to this radical plan."

"You don't have to be so careful with your wording. He will definitely disagree," Stark sighed. "The key is that Earth is within the Nine Realms. If anything happens to us, he will be responsible for cleaning up the mess. I feel a headache for him just thinking about it."

"After all, we are not the Asgard of the past. We cannot punch everyone who enters the Nine Realms. The various diplomatic matters involved are too complicated. It gives me a headache too."

"Where's Dr. Schiller? Schiller? Schiller?!" Nick called him across the screen and said, "Why aren't you talking?"

"I told you I was looking at environmental documents," Schiller said without looking up. "I always feel like these testing agencies are not very reliable. The data is a bit weird."

"You can understand this? I didn't expect you knew geology."

"No, I don't understand. I just know that the same mineral content in groundwater detected at the same sampling point at the same time cannot be 6.6 and 9.6 at the same time. At least my eyesight is normal."

"Don't look at those useless reports," Nick said, "Environmental issues can be big or small. Testing agencies will always only issue the data that the testing unit requires them to issue... Well, I see you don't want to take care of this matter. Let's think of a solution ourselves."
