Nick Fury didn't hesitate and directly nodded.
"Good, our people found some leftover shell casings with Stark Industries markings while dealing with the facility of Acris Corporation."
Therefore, I suspect that the person who rescued Tony Stark from the Ten Rings Gang, altered your memories, and burned down the entire facility of Acris Corporation, which couldn't be found in any records, is this George.
Or the organization that this George is a part of, which we are unaware of.”
"Director, haven't you found any information about him yet?"
Coulson's face revealed a surprised expression.
If the lack of George's information in the database can be explained, then the fact that even after extensive investigation by SHIELD during this period, no trace of George has been found, defies belief.
With SHIELD's capabilities, if they really want to find someone, even if they've changed tens of aliases, they would definitely be able to uncover their identity.
"No, this guy just pops up out of nowhere, with no trace."
"I met with Tony Stark last night and I couldn't extract any intelligence about him."
Nick Fury's expression grew serious:
"So from now on, you need to stop all your current tasks and fully cooperate with the memory recovery treatment."
A sudden emergence of an organization completely beyond his control and understanding, endowed with extraordinary strength, capable of altering memories—such a dangerous entity cannot simply be ignored.
He must find out as quickly as possible the origin of the other party and their purpose for approaching Tony Stark.
About two weeks later.
With the aid of various high-tech equipment and professional psychologists, hypnotists, and other experts, Coulson and Black Widow managed to retrieve some memories that had been forgotten in their minds.
"He was a variant created by Acris Corporation. No wonder there were no records of him."
Combining Coulson and Black Widow's descriptions, as well as the previous information collected by SHIELD about Acris Corporation, Nick Fury, as the director of SHIELD, could roughly understand the situation.
George was a mutant created by Acris Corporation but later broke free from control. He also took a group of young mutants and escaped the facility. He found Wolverine, who had been missing for many years.
With the help of Wolverine, they fled to New York and then went to Afghanistan to rescue Tony Stark. With Tony Stark's assistance, they destroyed the entire Acris Corporation base.
Of course, many details are still unclear, such as how George and the others found Tony Stark in Afghanistan.
But the general situation should be something like this.
Involving mutants and superpowers, many things cannot be deduced by ordinary logic.
"Coulson, from now on, you will continue to be responsible for Tony Stark and assess his eligibility for the Avengers."
In the director's office, after assigning tasks to Coulson, Nick Fury looked at Black Widow:
"Your task is to find George and those mutants with Wolverine as soon as possible and locate where they are hiding in New York. We cannot allow a group of super-powered mutants to roam freely."
He originally wanted to send Black Widow to handle Tony Stark, but Tony Stark might have already met Black Widow, and sending her might cause resentment.
It would be better to let Coulson take over, as he has a more pleasant personality and they have already built a good relationship in the past.
As for George and those mutants with Wolverine, although they currently seem to have caused no major impact, such uncertain elements should also be placed within his control and surveillance.
Otherwise, if something sudden happens, he would not be able to control the situation in time to handle it properly.
On the other side, at the mutant school, Wolverine was smoking a big cigar and watching George, who kept writing bizarre symbols on the school's walls. He couldn't help but wonder out loud:
"What are you doing this for?"
"Setting up a magical barrier."
George kept drawing without looking back.
Wolverine looked completely baffled:
"What is a magical barrier?"
"It's something you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Just think of it as a special ability to prevent outsiders from invading the school."
It's almost time for the history class, why don't you go over there quickly?"
George dismissed it carelessly with a wave of his hand, and Wolverine didn't mind. He happily ran off to teach the children their history class.
Due to his previous experiences, Wolverine now enjoys staying at the school and teaching history to the children.
Without the annoyance of Wolverine, George's pace in setting up the magical barrier quickened.
This was one of the main magical spells he had learned during this time, thanks to Ruby's text magic.
Unlike other magic that needed to be self-taught, he could find good relationship Ruby often guided in text magic.
Ruby is different from other magi guides; she often goes out on missions and is rarely seen for ten or fifteen days at a time.
Ruby is basically the same as George; she often spends her time reading books in the library to accumulate magical knowledge.
That's why George can ask her for help on a daily basis.
The key difficulty in learning the text magic lies in the accumulation of magical knowledge. Since George joined Fairy Tail, he has never slacked off in this aspect, which makes it easier for him to get started.
Unlike disguise-based magic, George never managed to master it even after returning from Crobar and frequently consulting Elric.
However, during this period of learning text magic with Ruby, George's focus was not on the three-dimensional text in text magic, but on the spells.
Text magic is mainly divided into several categories: three-dimensional text, ritual text, dark text, and demon text.
Typically, what you can learn in the library is about three-dimensional text and ritual text, dark text and demon text are taboo magic and there are no related magical books in the library.
Among them, three-dimensional text mainly uses the effect of three-dimensional text to fight.
For example, writing the word "fire" would create a literal flame attack, writing "wind" would summon an attack with wind, and writing "silence" would make the surrounding area silent.
However, it's also because there are many types of effects that the power of each manifestation is difficult to improve, even for Ruby, who has been studying for years and is still only at an average level.
George also found that many of the effects in the magic could be replaced with the spells from the Ha-style magic.
So, he was more inclined to focus on ritual text first, while learning the basics of three-dimensional text.
Unlike three-dimensional text, ritual text is difficult to use immediately in battle, but its effects are very good.
It is a magic that can be written on the surface of any object or in space, containing the rules of magic spells. Once completed, the spell will form an invisible barrier.
If someone steps into the area of the ritual, the rules will automatically take effect, and it is difficult to break through by brute force. Only those who meet the requirements of the ritual can enter and exit.
However, since the writing of text is very strict, if there are mistakes or changes, the original rules will become invalid or be changed to be advantageous to the other party.
