"Just like that, only a short time has passed."

Hawking woke up again, surprised to find that he had only been unconscious for an hour, despite using both the Goku and Harry templates simultaneously. Surprisingly, the side effects were the same as using just the Goku template.

Clearly, the loading of the Harry Potter protagonist template had not adversely affected his current physical condition.

He speculated that his body was now robust enough to handle the side effects of the Harry Potter template, since a wizard's constitution wasn't much stronger than a normal human's.

He looked around.

Professor X and Magneto were playing chess, with Mystique squatting between them, alternately watching each player. Storm and Cyclops were piloting the jet, while Wolverine and Lady Deathstrike seemed to be sharing their pasts, hinting at a possible future relationship.

Nightcrawler and Colossus, of similar ages, one a kind and devout believer, and the other a gentle art lover, appeared to get along well.

As for Colonel Stryker, he had been put into a forced comatose state by Professor X's psychic powers and was lying in the back seat of the jet.

"This guy can't be left alive!"

A fleeting murderous intent flashed in Hawking's eyes.

Professor X planned to hand Colonel Stryker over to Nick Fury, which Hawking did not think was a good idea.

Given Stryker's influence and background, if he returned alive, it wasn't impossible for him to escape justice. With his hatred for mutants, who knew what trouble he could stir up next.

Never underestimate the ordinary humans in the Marvel world; influenced by various black technologies, it wouldn't be surprising if Stryker could create a super mutant. Another version of Deadpool, number 11, was a case in point.

Furthermore, killing a butcher like Stryker would definitely accrue a lot of justice points—too valuable an opportunity to pass up.

Stryker was undeniably a villain.

His son, a mutant, had accidentally killed his wife, and instead of seeking to cure his son, he brutally turned him into a test subject and aimed to kill all mutants, using many innocent mutant children for experiments.

Moreover, for his own "X-Weapon Project" and to seize adamantium ore, he massacred many innocents.

Such a person deserved death; killing him would be a righteous act.

Lastly, Stryker was one of the humans who knew the most about mutants. If he fell into Nick Fury's hands, allowing Fury to gain more information about mutants, it wouldn't bode well for the mutant school.

Especially now that SHIELD might still be infiltrated by HYDRA; if SHIELD had data on mutants, so did HYDRA.

Though Fury was arrogant, at least he had some morals, unlike HYDRA, who knew no bounds.

But with Professor X's nature, he wouldn't just allow Hawking to kill Stryker.

"No worries, I can discuss this with old Magneto. He definitely wouldn't want Stryker alive. Coordinating with him shouldn't be a problem."

Turning his gaze away from Stryker, Hawking began to organize the newly acquired memories of Harry Potter.

Now possessing the same wizarding bloodline as Harry, along with all of Harry's memories up to his fourth year at Hogwarts, he could master all the spells in Harry's memory with diligent practice.

In addition to the spells taught by Professor Lupin and various spells he saw in the library, Harry was not very proficient with many spells, except for a few battle spells like the Disarming Charm.

However, this would not hinder Hawking; with some focused practice, he could potentially surpass even Hermione in those spells that Harry was not good at.

"It seems I have the bloodline but nothing else, which is a problem."

He then touched his forehead, realizing the absence of Harry's lightning bolt scar.

After the protagonist template loading ended, he only retained the protagonist's bloodline and memories; everything else disappeared.

Such as the lightning bolt scar and Voldemort's residual soul in his body—these external elements did not pertain to the bloodline and thus were not retained.

But this posed a problem: although he now had a wizard's bloodline, he lacked a wand. While it's possible to cast spells without a wand, Harry didn't know the technique, and neither did he.

Without a wand, a stabilizer and amplifier for magic, the effectiveness of spells would be significantly reduced, especially for a beginner like him.

"Am I only able to use magic when the Harry panel is loaded?"

He immediately dismissed this idea.

Magic was too useful an ability to give up. An hour was too short a time; he had to find a way to overcome this limitation.

"Perhaps, I can borrow some of this world's black technology."

After thinking for a while, an idea formed in his mind.

How are wands made? By selecting wood with special properties and adding parts of magical creatures, specially processed to completion.

Harry's wand was made of holly and phoenix feather, Voldemort's of yew and phoenix feather, Snape's of birch and snake nerve, and one of the famous Deathly Hallows, the Elder Wand, of elder wood and Thestral tail feather.

These materials were undoubtedly unavailable in this world, and even if he could find them, he lacked the skills to craft a wand.

But this was Marvel, a world brimming with black technology. Whether it was superpowers, magic, or any other seemingly bizarre ability, as long as a capable scientist was involved, science could be used to mimic and counter it.

Similarly, the concept of a wand could potentially be analyzed scientifically to find alternative methods for creating something similar.

Perhaps he could even enchant the adamantium rod he had acquired with wand-like properties.

Imagine poking someone with the rod, thinking they've blocked the attack, only to follow up with a close-range explosive spell—a very intriguing idea.

Enemies like Wolverine, with regenerative abilities, could be effectively neutralized by inserting the rod into them and casting an explosive spell.

Conveniently, the mutant academy was a hub of black technology.

When he found the time, he could ask Professor X if he knew of any suitable scientists to help.
