Warlock of the Marvel Universe

"Mr. Richter, I hope you can have a correct attitude. Your current behavior is not conducive to our good communication." Magic?Warlock?What a joke.Coulson and Melinda didn't believe Evanson's statement from the bottom of their hearts.After all, it is no longer the ignorant Middle Ages, but the 21st century, and science is king.Nowadays, magic only appears in fairy tales, novels and movies. "For us, magic is unscientific, and all special abilities beyond the norm are mutations."

"Don't rush to define it first." Evanson shook his head. "Why do you think there is no such power as magic in this world?"

"Our world and current civilization are based on science. Science creates everything and science explains everything. Human beings can achieve today's achievements by the power of science, not mysterious magic, which will only restrict human beings. Progress." Colson calmly explained his view of the supremacy of science and his disdain for magic.

Bang bang bang, after listening to Colson's words, Evanson clapped slowly. "Nice speech, but I think your understanding of magic is a little biased."

Coulson was a little impatient. A senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. was here to discuss the existence of magic. Thinking about this kind of thing was ridiculous. "Mr. Richter, I think there is absolutely no need for me to waste my time on this..."

"Are magic and science contradictory?" Evanson suddenly interrupted Colson's words loudly. "A few centuries ago, using hot water to help mothers give birth was regarded as witchcraft, and midwives would be tied to the stake and burned alive. But now bloody things like caesarean section are generally accepted because it is science. Weapons that can destroy a city at once are weapons that only gods have. Nowadays, there are many such weapons that can explode the earth hundreds of times. This is also because of science. Only gods can land on the moon, but now humans We did it, all because of science. However, these sciences were all called magic or even myths at the time. Therefore, magic is science that cannot be explained yet." Evanson said this quickly , giving no chance to interrupt at all.

Coulson rubbed his temples helplessly. "Magic is science that cannot be explained yet? Arthur C. Clarke's famous saying. He was a writer of science fiction novels."

"I think he is a pioneer of science, or a pioneer of magic." Evenson firmly opposed Colson's behavior of looking down on the author of the novel. "Accept it, magic is not the superstition of worshiping idols, nor is it the ignorance of taking ore to make medicine. It is the same as science, it is the pursuit and exploration of the truth, but from a different angle." Evanson finally said. It was as solemn as a sermon.

The two agents sighed together, feeling that they were almost brainwashed.Now they just want to end this topic as soon as possible, so Melinda said, "Well, magic is an alternative science, so we say magic is a superpower. There is nothing wrong with you, a magician, being a superpower."

"Wrong, first of all, I am not a magician but a warlock. Secondly, superpowers are obtained through mutation, which are sudden, undeterminable and non-replicable. And I obtain power through study and exercise. Yes." Evanson corrected him without any discernment.

Let me take it easy. You said you are addicted. It is not over yet.The two special agents, Evanson, could only look at each other and smile bitterly.But their expressions suddenly froze. Although this look was funny, they didn't care.Because they realized that there was a very subtle word in what Evanson just said.If what he said is true, does that mean SHIELD can also control this power?

"Learning? You mean your power comes from learning?" Colson asked with some uncertainty.

"Of course." When Evanson heard this, he knew what the other party meant, but he still answered firmly.

"So, besides you, you can also learn... magic?" Colson asked more carefully, for fear that this would be another bad joke of the other party.

"Of course" the answer was still affirmative.

"Everyone can learn?" Coulson was a little uneasy now, and his tone became louder.

"Of course... no. Agent skills also rely on learning. Can everyone become an agent? It depends on talent." Evanson's tone seemed to be that this question was stupid.

In fact, Coulson regretted it as soon as he asked. If everyone could learn this kind of power, then Superman would be satisfied. "Then what kind of person can learn, or what kind of talent is required?" Colson's eyes were eager.Need talent?No problem, S.H.I.E.L.D. is full of talents, and top agents can even challenge the limits of human beings. Isn't it possible to find someone with talent?Even if he doesn't, it doesn't matter. As long as he knows the standards, SHIELD can dig out that person even if he's hiding in a crack in the ground.

"Talent?" Evanson thought for a moment, "Such as strong mental strength, firm will, and broad ideas."

"Some...general." Coulson thought about these conditions for a while.Mentally strong?First of all, what is mental power? Let’s say it is a magical term, but how strong is it?It’s understandable that I have a strong will, but how determined is considered strong? Does this count for me?Also, the idea should be broad, how broad should it be?Do neurotics count?

"Magic, after all, is somewhat different from science. Some places are not so...rigorous." Evanson said, "This is not bad. This is just a condition for becoming an apprentice. You can only learn some simple spells. If you want to learn advanced ones, Magic requires even more mysterious talents, and there are no standards at all. It depends entirely on experience and feeling."

Evenson is not being rude when he says this.When he was in the orphanage, he had already started to study the "Encyclopedia of Warlock Spells". After all, study hard and make progress every day.But the orphanage is a collective environment after all, and even if you are careful, you will always be knocked down.But at that moment he discovered that no one had ever noticed him reading another book.Yes, people can see him, but they don't pay attention to what he is doing.Books are not invisible, they are just subconsciously ignored.There is only one person in the entire monastery that can be seen, and that is the abbot, the old nun who is extremely devout to God and the Virgin Mary.But she only sees it. Don’t talk about the content of the book. If you just say something to her and distract her attention a little, she will immediately forget about the book and completely forget what happened just now.That Evanson understood that this book will distort the perception of those who are not mentally strong enough. The book is in front of you, but you turn a blind eye.Even if you see it, you will forget it as soon as you look back.This is also the reason why Evanson left the orphanage so quickly. It is not a good thing for the perception to be too distorted.

So, this thing really depends on talent.If you don't have talent, you won't even have the chance to be initiated as an apprentice, let alone write a hundred volumes of questions.

ps, regarding the issue of actively exposing magic.This will be explained in later chapters.

ps2, I was drunk today and my brain is dizzy, so the update is late, I apologize.
