New York, Bronx.
An old five-story residential building suddenly caught fire due to aging electrical circuits.
Because the building was not tall, most of the residents had already escaped and were waiting downstairs for the fire department to arrive and extinguish the blaze.
However, just then, a young couple suddenly let out heart-wrenching screams and rushed towards the building engulfed in flames as if insane. Fortunately, other quick-witted residents stopped them.
One must know that given the current state of the building's fire, rushing in would be suicidal.
It turned out that this young couple had put their baby to sleep and only went downstairs to the supermarket to buy something, which took only ten-odd minutes. Unexpectedly, when they returned, the building was on fire.
Just as the young couple was filled with despair and the surrounding neighbors sighed, a figure in a black trench coat suddenly appeared before them.
"A newly refreshed mission; I should still make it."
The person who arrived was Li Chuan, who had used Apparition. He had just seen a mission to extinguish the burning building and rescue a trapped infant on the fifth floor, with a reward of two days of Small World time.
"Which room on the fifth floor is your child in?"
Li Chuan asked the couple.
The originally despairing couple saw Li Chuan's attire and immediately recalled recent news, and a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts. They quickly raised their hands and pointed to a room on the fifth floor.
"Right there, inside that window! Please, please save our child!"
The fire started on the first floor, and their child was on the fifth floor. If they saved the child now, it might still be in time.
Li Chuan nodded, activated Apparition again, appeared beside that window, punched through the window glass, and climbed in.
The Apparition location must be within sight or a place one has visited before.
Therefore, he could not Apparition directly into the room and could only appear at the window.
During this time, to efficiently reach every mission location, he specifically drove around most of New York to ensure he could perform Apparition smoothly.
Like the situation today, if he had not been here before, by the time he Apparitioned nearby and then ran over, the infant would probably have already died.
"Here, unconscious, but thankfully still breathing. There's still time."
After entering the room, Li Chuan quickly found the small infant lying in the stroller and then used Healing Palm Technique to begin treatment.
The most deadly thing in a fire is not the flames but the dense smoke released by the burning. An ordinary person will lose consciousness after inhaling two or three mouthfuls and die after breathing it for ten-odd minutes.
Although the fire in the building had only burned to the second floor, the dense smoke had already permeated to the fifth floor.
Fortunately, the door to the large room where the small infant was located was tightly closed, and not much dense smoke had penetrated, but it had still caused the small infant to lose consciousness.
He estimated that if he had appeared a few minutes later, the small infant would already be a corpse.
Adults can last for ten-odd minutes, but a newborn infant does not have such a good body.
After using Healing Palm Technique to remove the toxins, Li Chuan picked up the small infant, jumped out of the window, ran down the wall, leaped over the flames burning on the second floor, and landed steadily on the ground.
The feeling of Apparition is like the body being squeezed into a tube, which even adults find uncomfortable, and a small infant would naturally feel even worse. That's why he did not choose to Apparition directly out of the room with the small infant.
"My child, my child! Thank you so much, sir, thank you!"
The couple took their child from Li Chuan's hands, their faces full of grateful tears.
The surrounding onlookers also applauded thunderously.
Li Chuan merely nodded, then turned and waved the elder wand in his hand.
"Aguamenti!"
As he waved his wand, a dark cloud suddenly appeared above the building, and after a flash of lightning and thunder, a light rain began to fall.
The Weather Charm is a magic that can change natural weather, allowing for wind, rain, snow, and hail. It is usually used by Witches to grow herbs and as air conditioning in offices.
Depending on the Witch's strength, the effect and range vary. Li Chuan's current strength can probably cover an area the size of two basketball courts.
He had seen Grindelwald cast the Weather Charm, which could cover an entire city, and that guy could also control the lightning in the dark clouds with his wand to attack enemies, which was very abnormal.
"Water Release: Evil Mouth!"
After casting the Weather Charm, Li Chuan immediately formed hand seals and released a D-rank Water Release: Evil Mouth.
Evil Mouth has no offensive power; it simply converts Chakra into a small stream and creates a better water environment, which is conducive to assisting other Water Release Ninjutsu to exert power, or it works very well with Lightning Release.
Because of the Aguamenti Weather Charm, the effect of Evil Mouth was surprisingly good. A large amount of Water surged from the ground and concentrated towards the burning building under Li Chuan's control.
Soon, the building's large fire was extinguished.
Ninjutsu of different attributes will have a certain bonus effect when used in different environments.
For example, Water Release Ninjutsu will have a surprisingly good effect by the sea, by a lake, and on rainy days. Fire Release is more powerful when used in volcanoes and burning places. Lightning Release when it's thundering, Earth Release in rocky areas, and Wind Release when it's windy.
Therefore, the Weather Charm combined with Water Release, Lightning Release, and Wind Release are all very perfect combinations.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh!"
Not long after Li Chuan extinguished the building's large fire, the siren of a fire truck sounded in the distance, so he directly Apparitioned away to the next incident location.
To be honest, it's impossible not to be touched at all by the gratitude of those rescued and the applause of the crowd after each rescue.
However, he was very soberly aware of the purpose of his actions, so he never lingered after a rescue and would not stay to enjoy the flowers and applause.
What he could do was, when choosing missions next time, if there was a conflict, he would try his best to choose to save lives, especially children.
Of course, in the eyes of the public and reporters, it was not like that.
They would only think that Li Chuan always left after each rescue, never speaking, never showing off, and never asking the rescued to do anything, which was simply an extremely noble virtue of doing good deeds without leaving a name.
Compared to Iron Man Tony Stark, who always had to show off his suit and his achievements, enjoying countless flowers and applause.
The newly emerged superheroes, the Dark Warlock and Scarlet Witch, this couple, seemed much more low-key and approachable.
Moreover, unlike Tony Stark, who dealt with major cases of striking Terrorists and evil organizations, Li Chuan and Scarlet Witch focused more on incidents happening around people.
From bank robberies and building fires to the loss of small cats and dogs, they covered it all.
Therefore, they are now also New York's super popular couple duo.
