Chapter 395: The Absurd Fusion (Part 2)

Stark held a rational attitude toward magic; he believed it was a force that could be harnessed, and if someone devoted their entire life to studying it and pushing it to its extreme, they were still worthy of admiration as a scholar.

But that did not mean he wanted to learn magic himself; despite having witnessed magic's convenience through Strange and experienced the power of the magical energy core himself, Stark always believed it was not a capability that could be systematically learned.

The magic he had encountered—the kind Strange used—was saturated with too many occult terms, filled with ambiguous hints, and its method of learning did not even reach the level of direct instruction; the master did not even bother to guide the student in, and the entire cultivation process relied entirely on the individual.

Stark preferred to reduce everything to its precise limit; he wanted causes to yield results, and desired clear, quantifiable values for input and output, not some vague remark like "it depends on your enlightenment."

Therefore, when he heard the words "magic" and "wand," he knew he had come to the wrong place.

A school that taught magic? Stark could not imagine it, because in his view, a school was a place for systematic instruction, and to place a discipline with no systematic teaching method into a school was nothing short of misleading students.
