Chapter Summaries

Noah, Wong, Carol, Fury, and Coulson searched a military archive for information about Dr. Wendy Lawson, while Carol struggled with scattered memories. They found evidence linking Lawson to Foss and the Skrulls, and Noah told Fury to request more records from his superior.

• Carol asked whether the portal could take her back to Hala, and Noah warned that people could be severed if a portal closed while they were passing through.
• Fury and Coulson entered a military base, but staff locked them in a room; Noah sliced through the door with magic and led the group out.
• The group encountered a juvenile Flerken, and Fury eagerly picked it up and fussed over it before Carol reminded him of their task.
• Noah opened the archive door, and the group found Dr. Wendy Lawson's file, including a light-speed engine blueprint and a report about her fatal unauthorized test flight.
• A photograph in Maria Rambeau's testimony showed Lawson, Maria, and Foss together, leaving Carol confused as fragments of memory resurfaced.
• Noah told Fury to ask his superior to request more evidence about the billion-dollar losses, and Fury agreed to do so.

After recovering her memories, Carol learned that she was an Earthling whose powers came from the energy core and that the Kree had deceived her about her identity. She reconciled with Talos and agreed to follow Mar-Vell’s coordinates, then accepted Noah’s request for a small sample of her blood under the condition that he keep it private.

• Carol recovered memories of her life as Carol Danvers, Mar-Vell’s mission, and the Kree’s role in the crash that gave her powers.
• Noah and Wong discussed Carol’s identity and what to do about her and the Skrulls.
• Carol and Talos reached a temporary reconciliation and decided to investigate Mar-Vell’s coordinates.
• Carol confronted Noah about knowing of the Skrulls, and Noah admitted that his group had monitored her since she came to Earth.
• Noah asked Carol for five milliliters of blood to study her unusual powers, and Carol agreed on the condition that he not give it to anyone else.

Noah obtained a sample of Carol’s blood and learned that studying it could be extremely dangerous, while Carol and Talos identified the coordinates of Mar-Vell’s spacecraft. Noah considered whether to absorb the Space Stone aboard it, but worried that doing so could draw Thanos’s attention and concluded that his weakness made the choice difficult.

• Carol agreed to let Noah take a blood sample, and the system identified her blood as a top-tier lifeform with immense power and research value.
• Noah stored the blood safely in Mirror space, and Wong warned him that mishandling it could be catastrophic.
• Carol and Talos worked out the spacecraft’s coordinates, and Talos used his S.H.I.E.L.D. identity to obtain an aircraft.
• Carol realized that her Kree teammates had arrived and told Noah she intended to confront them for answers.
• Noah considered taking the Space Stone from Mar-Vell’s spacecraft, then worried that absorbing it could attract Thanos and sighed that weakness was the original sin.

Noah and the others reached Mar-Vell's hidden cruiser, where the Tesseract triggered the system to extract the Space Stone's power into Noah. As the space around him distorted, Noah sensed that a spacecraft had docked and new visitors were approaching.

• Noah petted Goose aboard the aircraft while Nagini wrapped herself around his neck and watched the cat warily.
• Noah explained Nagini's human identity and wizarding schools to Fury and Talos, then warned Fury to stay quiet as they neared their destination.
• Carol disabled Mar-Vell's Lab's cloaking device, revealing a Kree cruiser, and the group found its main control room.
• Goose rushed toward the Tesseract, and Carol removed it and tossed it to Noah, who stopped it with magic.
• Noah took the Tesseract, triggering the system to extract its space power and causing the surrounding space to distort.
• Noah sensed a spacecraft docking nearby and warned the others that visitors had arrived.

Noah remained frozen while the Tesseract’s energy entered him as Talos reunited with the Skrulls and Yon-Rogg captured Carol and the others. Once the extraction finished, Noah broke free, killed a Kree, and unleashed a powerful spell against the Kree forces before Wong emerged from the Mirror space.

• Talos brought the Skrulls out of the ship and explained that Carol and Noah were friends who had helped reunite them.
• Yon-Rogg arrived, disabled Carol’s powers, and took her and the Skrulls prisoner while Noah remained unable to move.
• Kree soldiers scanned Goose as a high-threat creature and Fury as nearly zero threat, then scanned Noah and identified him as extremely dangerous.
• Noah’s energy extraction completed, and he killed the Kree who threatened him with Sectumsempra.
• Noah cast a defensive spell and overwhelmed the Kree with a vortex of pale golden flames that burned through the ship.
• Wong emerged from the Mirror space covered in ash and smoke.

Noah and Wong rescued Fury, Coulson, Maria Rambeau, and the Skrull captives after Noah destroyed the Kree, while Carol regained her power and stayed behind to deal with the remaining threat. Noah brought the rescued group to Maria’s home on Earth, where The Ancient One appeared and watched Carol fight the Kree.

• Wong pulled the captives into the Mirror space as Noah’s fire spell burned the Kree, leaving Fury and Coulson alarmed by the sorcerers’ power.
• Carol’s power surged after she broke free of the Supreme Intelligence’s control, and she arrived to find Noah had dealt with the trouble in the cabin.
• Carol told Noah to take the others away while she handled the remaining Kree herself.
• Noah opened a portal to Maria Rambeau’s home and brought Wong, Fury, Coulson, Maria, and the Skrulls through before closing it.
• The Ancient One appeared beside Noah and showed the group an image of Carol glowing with golden light as she fought the Kree.

Noah watched Carol fight the Kree, then learned from The Ancient One as she destroyed Ronan’s fleet with a display of immense magic. The group prepared to return, leaving Fury with the Tesseract and the Flerken, which promptly scratched his eye.

• Noah discussed Carol’s poor control of her power with The Ancient One, who urged him to build his own magical skill instead of relying on his wand.
• Yong pursued the stolen energy core, and Ronan’s Kree fleet arrived and threatened Earth with missiles.
• The Ancient One redirected the missiles into the Kree warships and sliced apart the fleet with a vast golden ring, forcing Ronan to flee.
• The Ancient One told Noah and Wong to learn from her actions, then instructed the group to place Fury, Coulson, and Maria Rambeau under a vow of silence and leave the Skrulls to Carol.
• The Ancient One told Noah to give the Tesseract to Fury for safekeeping, and the Flerken scratched Fury’s eye when he picked it up.

After returning to Kamar-Taj, Noah learned that Carol's blood offered a choice between immediate physical strength and greater long-term potential. He chose the slower-growing power, while the system began extracting and fusing it with the Blood of the Undying.

• Noah returned to Kamar-Taj, rested, and told Ms. Heifen that the kitten he brought back was a Flerken named Goose.
• Noah showed Ms. Heifen how Goose swallowed an apple with tentacle-like limbs, then explained that Master had agreed to let him keep her.
• Noah asked the system to examine Carol's blood, and it offered him a one-time physical boost or power that would raise his potential over time.
• The system began channeling Space Stone power into Noah despite a success rate of less than one percent, but Noah stopped it after hearing the risk.
• Noah chose the long-term growth option, and the system began extracting power from Carol's blood and the Blood of the Undying for fusion.

Noah learned that the System had spent the Space Stone's power improving his body and saving him from its dangerous effects, leaving none to spare, and he began training at Kamar-Taj. After pushing himself alongside Mordo and Wong, Noah discovered that his stamina recovered unusually quickly, suggesting he could develop formidable endurance.

• Noah learned that the System had used all the Space Stone's power to improve his body and protect him, leaving him with no stored energy.
• Noah accepted that he would have to strengthen himself through Kamar-Taj's training and went to the training grounds.
• Mordo and Wong made Noah continue training despite his complaints, and Noah noticed that his stamina was recovering quickly.
• Noah trained with Mordo and Wong for two hours, and while they collapsed from exhaustion, Noah found that his stamina had recovered again.

Noah discussed Kamar-Taj’s planned university with The Ancient One and proposed a simpler system for teaching and managing students. The Ancient One accepted his ideas and began recording them, though she suspected Noah was trying to make things easier for himself.

• Noah complained that he kept getting beaten in close-combat drills, and The Ancient One offered to teach him advanced techniques.
• The Ancient One told Noah that the university was nearly complete, with classrooms in a Mirror space modeled on Hogwarts and Ilvermorny, but she was struggling to arrange teachers and materials.
• Noah suggested that sorcerers guide small groups of students, help them adapt, and answer their questions instead of relying on elaborate school arrangements.
• Noah proposed making magical studies and close-combat studies separate but compulsory subjects, with yearly evaluations and possible repetition or expulsion for students who failed.
• Noah recommended psychological evaluations and combined magical and physical assessments, and The Ancient One agreed while teasing him for trying to make things easier for himself.

Noah learned that Kamar-Taj’s Magic Award selection would be delayed while magical governments handled their own crises, including Minister Dumbledore’s reforms in Britain. After three years of intense training, Noah’s extraordinary physical condition drew The Ancient One’s attention, and he explained that he had absorbed some of the Tesseract’s power.

• The Ancient One arranged for national Ministries of Magic to manage applications and preliminary reviews for the Kamar-Taj Magic Award, but postponed the process because many magical governments were occupied with serious problems.
• Minister Dumbledore worked to weaken pure-blood aristocrats’ influence over the British Ministry, expanded Azkaban, and replaced its Dementor guards with people.
• Noah joked that future award recipients would have to remember he was the first winner and wondered whether his portrait might appear on commemorative coins.
• Over three years, Wong and Mordo trained with Noah and discovered that his endurance far surpassed theirs, though his unenhanced close-combat skills remained poor.
• The Ancient One noticed Noah’s increasingly unusual physique, and Noah told her he had absorbed some of the Tesseract’s power; she warned him that doing so had been too risky.

At eighteen, Noah had reached Tier 6 Level 5 and reflected on how meditation had helped Ms. Heifen grow into a Tier 3 mage. As Kamar-Taj prepared to open its university and hold its first Magic Award evaluations, The Ancient One asked Noah to teach students, leaving him unsure how to refuse.

Kamar-Taj University opened admissions in the summer of 1998, but its strict limit of ten students per magical world left many Hogwarts Mage Alliance members without places. Luns and Harry encouraged those who failed to keep studying or pursue work in the magical world, and the students began making plans to try again.

• Kamar-Taj announced that its university would open, admitting fewer than a thousand students from magical communities around the world.
• Evan told the Mage Alliance that he, Luns, Evan, Ernie, Hermione, Longbottom, Canis, Angelina, and the Weasley brothers had secured places, while many members had failed.

• Luns explained that the magical world needed workers as well as university graduates and that Alliance members would not be excluded if they did not attend Kamar-Taj.
• Harry decided to apply for an Auror internship while continuing to study, and Ron chose to work as an exorcist and try the entrance exam again next year.

Evan and the other Hogwarts students arrived at Kamar-Taj for the start of their magical studies and learned that Noah had become a celebrated Tier 6 sorcerer. The Ancient One welcomed the new students to Kamar-Taj University of Magic, outlined its exams and instruction, and left them to begin their four years there.

• A Kamar-Taj guide received Evan and the others, recommended that they buy phones, and led them through a portal on September 1st.
• The guide told Evan and the others that Noah was Kamar-Taj's youngest and most gifted sorcerer, already at Tier 6.

• The Ancient One introduced herself as Gu Yi, Sorcerer Supreme and the first headmistress of Kamar-Taj University of Magic.
• The Ancient One warned the students that they would face exams and could be sent home if they failed, then said they would form groups of three with instructors.

The new students settled into Kamar-Taj’s Mirror-space dormitories and waited to meet their supervising teachers. As the hall emptied, the remaining Hogwarts students realized they had been left waiting while Noah and Mordo deliberately delayed collecting them.

• A Kamar-Taj guide explained that the students’ dormitories were housed in a Mirror space and showed them to their rooms.
• Evan, Kate, and Luns shared a dormitory, while the other Hogwarts students were assigned to different rooms and groups.

• Mordo urged Noah to collect the remaining students, but Noah said he was teaching them patience and continued to delay.

Noah was assigned three students to supervise and planned to teach them a lesson while reading a magazine, but discovered that they were his former Hogwarts classmates. He left the three other students with Mordo and ended by teasing his old friends about a punishing run up Mount Everest.

• Noah delayed meeting his students while changing clothes and arguing with Mordo about borrowing a magazine.

• Kate and Evan explained that Lucius Malfoy had studied Muggle law, gained the pure-blood aristocrats' trust, and then testified against them after Dumbledore became Minister of Magic.
• Noah learned that Draco had joined the Mage Alliance after resolving a vampire incident, though he had scored eighty on the psychological assessment and failed the entrance exam.
• Noah disclosed that he was a Tier 6 Level 5 mage, while Kate, Luns, and Evan had reached Tier 3 Levels 8, 7, and 9 respectively.
• When Luns asked what they would learn at Kamar-Taj, Noah warned that their training would leave them exhausted, sometimes beaten senseless, and with little time for sleep.

Noah showed Evan and the other two around New York, revealed that Kamar-Taj had profited from selling them outdated phones, and taught them the Ancient One’s meditation method. The next day, they experienced Kamar-Taj’s punishing training firsthand, though the afternoon lessons focused on practical magic.

• Noah took Evan, Luns, and the third student to a phone store, where they bought better phones after learning their lead mage had recommended devices that earned money for Kamar-Taj.
• Noah explained that he had proposed the phone-selling scheme and advised the boys to use their phones to learn about the Muggle world.
• Noah taught the three boys the Ancient One’s meditation method after they identified it as his award-winning project, and they signed a confidentiality contract before practicing it.
