Changes!

After leaving The Ancient One's sanctuary, Zhang Yang first returned to his dormitory and took the opportunity to see his friends.

Yes, the haughty Third Princess Loki, the future Queen of the Seas Mera, and the little hero Harry Potter.

The four of them gathered together. Other than Zhang Yang, everyone's expressions were complicated.

They had never expected that a classmate they had known for less than a month would actually succeed to the position of Sorcerer Supreme and take charge of Kamar-Taj, the leading force in the magical world.

That was just too fantastical.

However, none of the four were the sentimental type. Each of them was exceptional.

After saying goodbye to each of them, Zhang Yang finally left.

Once he was gone, the remaining three felt strangely bereft and stayed silent for a long time.

In the end, Loki spoke first.

"Isn't it just taking charge of Kamar-Taj?!"

The haughty Third Princess looked at Zhang Yang's receding back. "When I return, perhaps I'll take charge of Asgard too!"

"Yeah, yeah, sure!"

Harry looked at his two remaining classmates with a bitter smile. "One of you is a prince of Asgard, and the other is the future designated Queen of the Seas. Only I am an ordinary person."

"You defeated Voldemort after he accepted dark power when you were a child. You're really so 'ordinary'!"

Mera rolled her eyes at Harry and likewise looked in the direction Zhang Yang had left. An indescribable emotion appeared in her eyes. "But Zhang Yang's surprise for us was a little too huge. Who could have imagined that he had only joined the Special Class not long ago, yet he was already going to take charge of all Kamar-Taj?"

"By the way, it seems something happened to Mentor John Constantine and Mentor Lucifer."

Harry suddenly mentioned, "I heard two new mentors will be coming to teach us soon?"

"No need."

Loki curled his lip and looked up at the sky, as though he could see brilliant Asgard through the endless stars. "I'm going back."

"I'm going back too."

Mera had not expected Loki to think the same way, so she spoke as well. "Atlantis has found the Sea King's descendant. Queen Atlanna... is calling for me at the foot of the mountain."

"You..."

Harry opened his mouth. He looked at Mera hesitantly.

In the Special Class, although Loki acted rather haughty, everyone knew how he felt about Mera.

But Mera had always seen herself as the future Queen of the Seas, so Loki had never had a chance.

After Zhang Yang arrived, Harry keenly noticed that Mera seemed to have changed somewhat.

Her attention had always been on Zhang Yang. As an observer, he knew that better than anyone.

She liked Zhang Yang.

That was Harry's feeling.

Clearly, Mera had noticed it as well. Taking this opportunity, before she became completely consumed by it, she prepared to cut off this feeling.

She, Mera, was the future Queen of the Seas!

She was the future queen of all Atlantis!

She was the future wife of the Sea King.

She was... she could be anyone, except herself.

Let it be this way.

That was what she thought.

Mera left, departing with Queen Atlanna, who had been waiting for her at the foot of the mountain.

Loki left as well, following Queen Frigga through the Bifrost.

Only Harry remained in the Special Class, but he did not stay long either. He returned to Hogwarts with Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

Harry was not as ordinary as he claimed. At the very least, he was Albus Dumbledore's chosen successor. This time, Dumbledore intended to entrust Hogwarts to him.

The once-famous Kamar-Taj Special Class was temporarily disbanded just like that.

Only when the next batch of exchange students arrived would the Special Class reopen.

A month had passed since The Ancient One stepped down from Kamar-Taj and the new Sorcerer Supreme took charge of it.

Over that month, Kamar-Taj officially announced that Kaecilius, once a candidate for Sorcerer Supreme and one of the previous Sorcerer Supreme's direct disciples, had defected and joined Dormammu's faction. At the same time, it issued a bounty: anyone who provided valid leads regarding Kaecilius could claim a reward from Kamar-Taj.

For a time, every force that knew of Kamar-Taj went mad.

A wave known as "searching for the traitor" swept across the world and continued for an entire month.

But Kaecilius was too cunning. Amid this frenzy, he had not revealed a single trace, to the point that people began doubting whether Kaecilius truly existed at all.

New York, a secret S.H.I.E.L.D... Hydra base.

Kaecilius, who had driven the entire magical world mad, and his Zealot cult were hiding there.

Inside a conference room, a Hydra executive sat across from Kaecilius.

This Hydra executive was named John Garrett, codenamed "Clairvoyant," and he was responsible for communicating with Kaecilius.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Garrett extinguished the cigarette in his hand and looked at Kaecilius. Impatience was already visible in his eyes. "You should know that the people outside are practically going mad looking for you."

"You want to learn magic?"

Kaecilius sensed that impatience and finally spoke. "No problem, but you must believe in the great Dark Demon God Dormammu. Can you accept that?"

"As long as we can gain power, we don't care whether its source is a god or a demon."

Excitement flashed through Garrett's eyes. "In fact, we prefer demonic power. It's straightforward and powerful. It may have some side effects, but we can bear them."

"In that case."

A mysterious symbol appeared on Kaecilius's forehead. It was Dormammu's mark. "Are you willing to become the first mortal to bear the power of the great Dark Demon God Dormammu?"

"Of course."

Garrett's entire body trembled with excitement.

He was already quite old. Over several decades, he had often gone on missions, and injuries had become routine.

He could endure them when he was young, but now, whenever a stormy night came, there was not a single part of his body that did not ache. Every minute and every second was torment.

That was why he had spent all the connections he had accumulated to obtain the chance to receive Kaecilius.

And to obtain the chance to bear Dormammu's power.

"My lord..."

Kaecilius began summoning Dormammu's power, and ripples spread through the surrounding space because of it.

"My servant!"

A voice brimming with power appeared in the conference room. "Why have you summoned me?!"

"My lord!"

Kaecilius's tone and manner were utterly devout. "I have recruited another believer. He craves your power."

"You handle such matters yourself."

Dormammu's voice suddenly released overwhelming pressure, making the entire conference room tremble. "If you summon me again over such a trivial matter... your soul will be extracted and sink into endless darkness!"

"Yes..."

The powerful pressure forced Kaecilius to keep his head lowered. Hatred lurked on his twisted face as he lay on the ground, but his tone did not change in the slightest.

"Hmph!"

The pressure gradually dissipated, and only then did Kaecilius and Garrett break free from that suppressed state.

"This is... this is that lord's power?"

Garrett climbed up from the floor. His body trembled even more after the fright, but his expression was also more excited.

"Yes."

Kaecilius climbed to his feet as well, his expression returning to one of devotion. "Now, I will share that lord's power with you."

"Welcome to our ranks!"
