“Sorted!”
On the floating island, George carved down the last rune on a yellow school bus, addressing Bronski beside him:
"Emil, from now on, it'll be your turn to drive the bus. I'll tell you the general procedure in a bit."
Bronski, also known as Malice, had previously served as the school's gatekeeper.
Nowadays, with the school moved to a floating island, there's no need for a gatekeeper anymore, so he took on a new role as the school bus driver.
The yellow school bus is the newly-transformed magical bus that he has just finished modifying.
With its flight, invisibility, enlargement of interior space, and external magical defense capabilities, it can carry the school's teachers and students back and forth between the floating island and the city below.
In fact, George has made quite a few key doors, scattering them in major cities worldwide, to make it convenient to travel to these cities at any time via the key doors.
However, the key doors are only used when necessary, and otherwise, people can take the school bus and other magical transportation tools that George has modified for travel between the floating island and the city below.
This is also for safety reasons.
If the key doors were used every day, it would mean that the magical defenses of the floating island would be redundant, because enemies could also enter the inner part of the island through the key doors.
However, taking magical transportation is different.
The entire floating island is under the protection of the Loyalty Spell, and without his permission, others cannot even discover the floating island.
Even if someone wants to hitch a ride, they would first have to get past Malice.
While George was instructing Bronski on how to drive the magical school bus, a red classic antique car, assisted by fire jet engines, flew into the floating island and then landed next to the school playground.
"Good morning, Director Coulson of the new S.H.I.E.L.D., how did you find time to come to my place?"
George seeing Director Coulson's arrival, stopped his instruction on Bronski, and extended his hand to greet him.
In addition to the teachers and students of the school, he also granted a few people the right to enter the school, one of whom is currently the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Director Coulson.
The new S.H.I.E.L.D. is an international organization that was reorganized after the Washington incident.
The original S.H.I.E.L.D., due to Nick Fury's death and Hydra's infiltration, had become a national agency similar to the CIA, no longer serving as the world's premier security organization.
But after the Washington incident, the top officials of all countries deeply realized the crisis.
Even the high-level officials in Washington could be killed by a falling city from the sky, so they wouldn't be an exception.
Therefore, after some discussion, the top officials of all countries agreed to reorganize S.H.I.E.L.D., establishing an organization that could protect global security and prevent and respond to special events.
That is the new S.H.I.E.L.D. now.
The director of the new S.H.I.E.L.D. was not originally Coulson, but what can you do? No one else could contact George except for Coulson.
In order to deal with major disasters caused by beings like Kurl, it is necessary for George and the Superhero Academy to intervene.
The new S.H.I.E.L.D., even with the full support of all countries in the world, cannot make much progress in the short term, and its main function is actually to early detect possible crises in various parts of the world, and then seek George's help.
Because George created the school not to have teachers and students go around punishing evil, their main purpose is teaching and classes; they will not take action proactively.
If there had been an organization like the new S.H.I.E.L.D. back then, if they had detected the abnormalities in the area of Sokovia and found George to lead people to defeat Kurl in that area, the Washington incident might not have happened.
So in the end, it was agreed that Coulson would still serve as the director of the new S.H.I.E.L.D.
In fact, this was also George's intention. Coulson has his own bottom line and knows his temper. If someone else were to become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., they might indulge in bureaucratic practices, be unclear-headed, and like to stand on a moral pedestal to scold him. There's a chance that before the next crisis comes, they might have already destroyed the new S.H.I.E.L.D.
"George, a major crisis has occurred; extraterrestrial beings have invaded Earth!"
Coulson didn't even wait for his car to come to a complete stop; he hurriedly opened the door and ran over to George.
George's face was filled with surprise:
"Don't worry, Coulson. Take your time and explain what you mean by extraterrestrial beings invading Earth."
Loki is the king in Jotunheim, has reconciled with Thor, and has not fallen into the hands of Thanos. The Infinity Gauntlet is also in his possession.
Therefore, the major event of the Zetian invasion of Earth from the movie is not possible.
Moreover, the floating island is parked above New York. If the Zetians had appeared, he would have discovered it earlier.
"That's the situation."
Next, Coulson informed George of all the information he had just gathered.
Half an hour ago, the satellite detected that a large number of spaceships appeared outside Earth. Some of these ships suddenly disappeared, while others landed on Earth openly.
Faced with these extraterrestrial ships that appeared openly without any announcement, although the governments of various countries were caught off guard, they immediately launched intercepts.
It can be understood that this situation can only be dealt with according to the worst-case scenario.
Otherwise, if it is indeed an alien civilization invading Earth, how can we not intercept and sit back waiting to be occupied.
Unfortunately, while a few major countries managed to intercept and destroy a portion of the ships, most of them successfully landed, and many have since disappeared after landing.
It is estimated that they may have used advanced technology beyond Earth to shield their search.
The worst part is that the landing of these extraterrestrial ships has been witnessed by many people in various countries, and some reporters have started covering it. The governments of the various countries want to control it, but they can't.
It won't be long before it causes widespread panic.
He has no choice but to come to George, hoping that he can help find those extraterrestrial beings who have invaded Earth and figure out their purpose.
The top officials of all countries are now on high alert, fearing that this is an alien civilization's plan to wage war and invade and occupy Earth.
If that is the case, Earth's level of technology would definitely be hard to win a war with. If the war were to fail, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Large numbers of extraterrestrial ships have landed on Earth, and they are scattered all over the place, with different types of ships."
George thought for a moment and smiled, patting Coulson's shoulder who looked anxious.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I'll help you solve this, but the matter of establishing recruitment offices in various countries needs to be expedited."
According to Coulson's words, these invading extraterrestrial beings are definitely not the powerful forces like the Avengers, Nova Prime, or the Kree Empire. They are likely to be bandits and bounty hunters.
Even if it's the likes of Thanos, the Nova Prime, or the Kree Empire that invade Earth, with his current strength, he's not afraid.
As for why so many pirates and bounty hunters would descend on Earth in such numbers?
It's quite simple. Just take a few and read their memories, and it will be clear that it's no big deal.
For him at the moment, anything that can make him tense is something as big as an invasion by a dimensional god.
