"Thor, we may stay here for a while longer to study the astrophysics knowledge your father gave us. We'll head back to New York in a month. Here's my address in New York. If you have time, feel free to come find me."

Standing in front of the X-Jet, Jane Foster handed a piece of paper to Thor. Thor immediately nodded in excitement:

"Jane, I will definitely come to see you!"

"Alright, hurry up and get on the plane. Everyone's waiting for you."

Eric, watching Jane—whom he considered like a daughter—and Thor, whose gaze was nearly a tangled mess, shot a scornful glance at Thor.

Thor took Jane's hand, leaned in to kiss it, then turned and boarded the X-Jet.

When George saw that Thor was the last to board, he turned to Isabel and said:

"Alright, we can take off and head back to the school now."

Thor, who could no longer wield Mjolnir, would remain exiled on Earth. Without his divine powers, he was just a strong ordinary man. It would be awkward for him to keep staying at Jane's place.

Although they had mutual feelings, their relationship hadn't been defined yet.

Moreover, only Steve could now lift Mjolnir, and once Steve left, Thor wouldn't be able to move Mjolnir anymore.

So, Thor decided to follow George's advice and study the philosophy of "peace" at school, hoping to understand Odin's teachings and regain his divine powers, allowing him to lift Mjolnir once more.

Wolverine, carrying the fine wine from the Divine Realm, chatted with Steve, while Betty and Banner sat together. If it weren't for the other people on the jet, they might have already been passionately reunited after five long years apart, especially given their concern about Banner's Hulk persona.

Iron Man, eager to study the Divine Realm's technology, immediately flew back to Earth and didn't wait for the others.

The X-Jet's speed was incredible, and it didn't take long before it was flying over the school. After George temporarily lifted the magical barrier surrounding the school, the jet descended slowly into the landing area and sank into the ground.

"Professor, you're still awake at this hour?"

As George disembarked from the jet, he noticed Professor X standing nearby.

Professor X smiled and replied,

"I was already asleep, but I sensed you all returning and got up."

In reality, he hadn't been sleeping. He was concerned because George and the others had been gone for so long without returning, indicating they had encountered some challenges or discoveries. He was worried for their safety.

"Well, let me introduce you to a new friend. This is Thor Odinson from Asgard, the god of thunder from mythology."

George pointed to Thor, who had just gotten off the plane and was currently convincing Logan to share some of the fine wine he brought.

Professor X's face displayed shock.

"George, you're not joking with me, are you?"

A god from mythology? This was beyond his comprehension. He had met aliens, but he had never met a god.

"Let's talk as we walk."

George then shared all the details of the mission with Professor X.

"So, from now on, you'll be in charge of him."

"No problem, I never imagined that gods from mythology were actually aliens," Professor X responded with a hint of awe.

After handing Thor over to Professor X, George returned to the combat simulation room to carefully begin crafting his new magic wand.

Having stayed up all night, he finally fused the branch of the World Tree with the heart of the Frost Giant King, creating a brand-new magic wand.

He waved the wand a couple of times, and couldn't help but think to himself:

"This wand definitely feels better to hold."

While the alloy magic ring was more convenient to wear, it didn't offer the same atmosphere as wielding a wand. There was something missing, like when you're walking down the street and suddenly spot a piece of wood that looks like a magic wand—you instinctively pick it up and wave it around, even if it isn't a real wand. It just feels interesting.

But if you found an iron ring lying on the street, you wouldn't even want to pick it up, let alone pretend to cast magic with it.

Now, with his space for changing outfits, he could keep the wand in that space and easily take it out when needed.

"Let's test the effect."

He waved his hand:

"Fluorescent Spark!"

A light, brighter than the advanced illumination spell and as bright as daylight, erupted from the top of the wand.

"Well, this amplification effect must be around twenty-five times stronger," he muttered.

Looking at the brilliance emitted from the wand, he thought to himself that if he had used the "Daylight" spell now, the brightness might be so blinding that it could cause temporary blindness to an average person.

"Great, time to sleep!"

After putting the new wand into the changing space, George went back to his room, took a shower, and planned to rest.

Overall, he was quite satisfied with this mission.

However, just as he was about to fall asleep, that familiar sharp pain suddenly struck.

He knew it was happening again — he was about to split.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a new clone and fresh memories flooded into his mind.

"Academy City, Esper, Misaka Mikoto, Mass Production Esper Program, Absolute Esper Evolution Experiment, Misaka 9981."

This was a new world, one filled with superpowered individuals. Espers were classified into six levels, ranging from Level 0 to Level 5.

Academy City was the gathering place for nearly all espers in this world, often referred to as the "City of Schools."

It housed dozens of universities, hundreds of elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and over a thousand research institutions. Its population was nearly 2.3 million, 80% of which were students.

Most of these students lived in school dormitories, where their abilities were developed through drugs, hypnosis, electrical stimulation, and other methods alongside their academic studies.

However, 60% of the abilities learned were classified as Level 0, meaning the students had no real powers at all.

Academy City possessed the most advanced technology in the world, decades ahead of the outside world. It was the leader of the scientific world, independent from all government institutions, with complete autonomy.

Now, his new clone, Misaka 9981, came from the Mass Production Esper Program and the Absolute Esper Evolution Experiment.

The Mass Production Esper Program was a research initiative in Academy City that stole the genes of one of its most powerful Level 5 espers, Misaka Mikoto, and began cloning her.

The experiment involved using drugs like Zid-02, Riz-13, and Hel-03, and after fourteen days, the clones would possess the same physical body as Misaka Mikoto. Basic knowledge like speech, movement, and ethics were forcibly inputted through learning devices.

Each Misaka Mikoto clone was priced at 180,000 yen, which converted to roughly 8,900 RMB.

They intended to mass-produce Level 5 espers, but the experiment failed.

The cloned Misaka Mikoto could only reach the potential of a Level 2 esper. Even if 20,000 clones were created, they wouldn't be able to defeat a single original Level 5 Misaka Mikoto.

As a result, the Mass Production Esper Program was repurposed into the Absolute Esper Evolution Experiment.
