When Su Ye appeared, Gwen and Mai Shiranui briefly showed a hint of surprise and delight, but it quickly disappeared. The two concealed their emotions well—this kind of joy couldn't be seen by Su Ye, let alone by each other.
They were still mad at Su Ye. That was the direct condition for them to become allies.
"What are you doing here?"
"Aren't you supposed to be out saving the world? Why are you wandering around here, 'hero'?"
The two instinctively mocked him before turning their attention to the two people Su Ye had brought along.
Pietro—hmm, a guy. Looks and physique weren't important. Ignored. He definitely wasn't going to be more handsome than Su Ye, anyway.
Wanda—huh, this girl!
The moment Gwen and Mai Shiranui saw Wanda, a chill shot from their lower backs straight to their heads.
"This is an enemy!"
"A formidable rival!"
"She might just be the ultimate threat that ends everything!"
"This man's taste really hasn't changed, huh? Haha."
"Wait a minute… this girl isn't even an adult yet, tsk tsk!"
"We can't let her become an enemy—we have to cut this problem off at the source!"
With just a glance, the two exchanged their entire strategy regarding Wanda. Without waiting for Su Ye's introduction, they each took a side, pulling Wanda into their arms and immediately showering her with attention.
"Little sister, you're so pretty! How old are you? What's your name?"
"Little sister, why are you with this bad guy? Did he force you? If he did, just blink, and we'll save you!"
"Don't worry, we're heroes of C-Rank! We'll take responsibility and make sure you get justice!"
They spoke over each other in excitement, leaving Wanda overwhelmed. Instinctively, she tried to return to Su Ye's side, only to realize that the two girls were leading her further away.
Meanwhile, Su Ye made no move to intervene, simply watching with a slightly helpless smile.
"Big sisters, who are you?" Wanda couldn't help but ask.
"I'm that bad guy's classmate!" Gwen shrugged.
"I'm that bad guy's senior!" Mai Shiranui spread her hands.
But Wanda detected a deeper meaning in their words.
One was a 'classmate with history,' and the other was some sort of 'senior' from who-knows-where. Clearly, they both had a hidden relationship with Su Ye.
So… was her savior already taken?
Wanda's brows furrowed deeply.
At sixteen, she was at the peak of both sensitivity and rebellion.
Gwen and Mai's behavior only fueled her suspicions. Given how outstanding Su Ye was, it wasn't surprising that he would be involved with multiple women.
But that didn't mean Wanda was going to back down.
'My savior, Brother Ye, is mine. You two won't take him from me. Even if he isn't mine now, he will be in the future!'
Su Ye's presence, his strength, and the way he had helped her had perfectly filled the roles of both father figure and savior in Wanda's heart. Before, this thought had only lurked in her subconscious. But thanks to Gwen and Mai's provocation, it now blazed uncontrollably.
"Big sisters, nice to meet you! Could you tell me about Brother Ye's past? I'm really curious!"
As she spoke, Wanda flashed an innocent and harmless smile.
Gwen and Mai suddenly felt a headache coming on.
What did this little girl mean? Was she really that naïve, or was this a declaration of war?
That "Brother Ye" title only intensified their sense of crisis.
"Why call him 'Brother Ye'? That makes him sound like some wild man. Forget about him! Come on, we'll take you to play. The rides here are amazing! Have you been here before?"
"I'm a war orphan. Brother Ye saved me!" Wanda replied.
"Uh…" The two girls hesitated for a moment, slightly embarrassed, but quickly regained their confidence.
"That's okay! The past is the past. Your life will definitely be much happier from now on. Come on, let's take you to your bright new future!"
With that, the two dragged Wanda away. From start to finish, they didn't say a single word to Su Ye—nor did they even glance at Pietro.
After they were gone, Pietro looked awkward and muttered, "Did they not see me? Am I really that unremarkable?"
Su Ye shook his head. "You actually do stand out… but unfortunately, you're a guy. In their eyes, men don't exist right now."
Sighing, Su Ye grabbed Pietro's arm again. "Come on, staying here is pointless. These speed-based rides won't be any challenge for you anyway. Let's go, I'll introduce you to some people."
Without waiting for Pietro to argue, Su Ye simply grabbed him and took off into the sky.
The distance to H Academy, which Su Ye had built earlier, wasn't far. So instead of returning to the Quinjet, they flew directly to the academy.
From a distance, Pietro's face lit up in amazement. "What is that? That architecture—it looks incredible!"
Thanks to the construction team brought in by Zheng Xian, H Academy had already been fully built, including all interior furnishings.
The entire academy was designed in the style of an ancient Chinese city.
It was surrounded by a square fortress wall, with each side stretching over three kilometers, towering more than 30 meters high, and nearly 20 meters wide.
The perimeter was comparable to the ancient city walls of Chang'an, but much taller and wider, making it appear as an imposing fortress from afar.
Within the walls, numerous large ancient-style buildings had already risen.
Unlike the symmetrical layout of Chang'an, where palaces were built in the north facing south, H Academy's tallest structure stood at the center—nearly 100 meters high, with over thirty floors, designed in a towering form.
Surrounding the central tower was an extensive complex of buildings and landscapes, blending the elegant bridges and flowing streams of Jiangnan gardens with the grandeur of northern architecture.
That central area was the true location of H Academy—the outer fortress was merely an annex.
According to Zheng Xian, if they were going to build it, they had to build it in a way that showcased the grandeur of China—so that those 'uncultured fools without history' could witness what true cultural heritage looked like.
Whether or not the 'uncultured locals' were impressed, Su Ye didn't know yet—but Pietro was already shouting in amazement.
"Is that where we're going to live? It's huge! I really want to run a few laps!"
That massive city wall—forget Pietro, even Su Ye felt the irresistible urge to drive a car around it.
"Come on, let's go down and check out our school!"
Outside H Academy, Su Ye landed with Pietro at the main gate. He planned to implement a 'No-Fly Zone,' inspired by certain anime settings—within academy grounds, no one would be allowed to fly.
In the future, the no-fly zone can be expanded to cover the entire city. This includes himself, meaning he would have to land outside the city gates and either walk in or take a vehicle inside.
Going forward, perhaps this place could be turned into the Hogwarts of the Marvel Universe?
Su Ye had this idea. The X-Academy only accepts mutants, and whether they admit it or not, this kind of selective admission inevitably creates a direct conflict between mutants and ordinary people.
But Su Ye didn't plan to do that. He wanted to create a place where mutants and ordinary people could coexist peacefully.
Mutants could find refuge here, while ordinary people could also study and even train, becoming heroes whose abilities were no less than those of mutants.
As for the training subjects, the preliminary plan included: Tony as the teacher for mecha studies, the Ancient One for magic studies, Senior Madara for ninja training, Grandpa Zhenyuan for martial arts, and Red Archer for magical arts.
Previously, when Su Ye entered the "Fate/Stay Night" dungeon, he had split off a Red Archer personality, which appeared in that world as Rin Tohsaka's servant.
That personality only existed within the dungeon and would not manifest in reality.
However, Su Ye could use one of his clones to mimic Red Archer and act as a magic teacher at H Academy, since he already had the necessary memories and abilities.
As for the Ancient One, Su Ye had not yet made contact, but the Doctor Strange storyline was about to unfold soon.
For certain reasons, Doctor Strange might not be able to appear, not even in later storylines, so in the end, Fat Wong might be the one to substitute as a teacher.
That made five specializations.
In Su Ye's plan, there should be at least ten disciplines, ensuring that everyone had the opportunity to receive superpower education, rather than being unable to train simply because their physique did not match a few existing power types.
By that time, everyone would be as powerful as dragons, and the existence of mutants would no longer be an issue.
At that point, H Academy would become a superhuman training base—H Academy, also known as "Super H Academy."
The first additional specialization that Su Ye thought of was martial arts.
Martial arts and warriors were the original romance of the Dragon Kingdom. Even the "Xia" in Iron Man and Spider-Man derived from the concept of Wuxia.
So, without martial arts, Su Ye always felt like something was missing from this world.
Unfortunately, up until now, Su Ye had not drawn a martial arts-themed girlfriend, so he had yet to develop inner energy techniques.
The aura of a martial artist had some similarities to inner energy, but in reality, they were different.
Learning martial arts was actually quite simple for Su Ye.
With the help of the Reality Stone and Projection Magic, he could instantly project a Heaven-Reliant Sword or a Dragon-Slaying Saber and gain martial arts and inner energy.
The problem was that Su Ye didn't know which weapon to project to obtain the most martial arts skills while avoiding summoning a troublesome girlfriend.
But for now, he wasn't in a rush to decide, since H Academy had not yet begun large-scale admissions, and without students from the Dragon Kingdom, a martial arts specialization would feel incomplete.
Currently, the only officially established specialization at H Academy was the Mutant Studies program, and the only full-time teacher was one of Su Ye's clones. Raven liked to run around with him and could only work part-time.
"For now, you should stay here and train with them."
Su Ye brought Pietro into the classroom, where his clone had transformed into a bald old man, teaching a few kids under the name of "Professor H."
Pietro had no objections. Compared to playing at an amusement park with his two sisters, he preferred life here—playing and having fun with kids his age. That was real youth.
After settling Pietro in, Su Ye left Professor H's classroom and turned toward another building in the academy.
Stark's villa was still too small, so Tony had set up a new laboratory here. It was spacious, with a huge underground testing ground, more than enough to test the performance of giant mechas.
When Su Ye arrived, Tony and Banner were busy working.
"You're finally here!"
Seeing Su Ye appear, Tony immediately rushed over with an anxious expression.
"Did you get the Mind Scepter back? Our research has hit a bottleneck—we need some external stimulation to help!"
The research he was referring to was Ultron—a super AI that would allow superheroes to lounge on the lawn and relax while it commanded a robotic army to save the world and maintain peace.
Beside him, Banner also looked over expectantly. Clearly, he was also excited about this project.
Su Ye nodded and directly took out the Mind Scepter. When he had returned with Wanda and her brother, he had brought the scepter along. Meanwhile, the experimental team in Sokovia had been disbanded and had joined the main group for wasteland relief efforts.
