Even if Jerry is skilled in Jeet Kune Do, he would not typically be able to subdue the man in front of him, especially if the man was brandishing a knife.
Jerry had once read a news story about a particular boxer meeting a certain mobster with a knife. After a fight, the knife-wielding mobster unharmed while the fighting champion was stabbed and taken to the hospital.
When the physical conditions of the two parties are identical, fighting skills may usually fully at their advantages. It will be challenging to win if the circumstances are too dissimilar, unless one has the mindset of murdering the opponent and hits them in the vitals with every move.
No matter how skilled the fighters are, it is safer to flee if one person is knifeless and the other is holding a weapon. Although winning against the knife with no hands is conceivable, it is more likely to result in a stabbing.
Jerry was able to capture the man brandishing a knife at this point with the help of a few low-level spells that dealt no direct damage. It is clear that using magic as an unorthodox power still has a huge impact.
He kicked the robber until he passed out, but he did not run away. Instead, he quietly left the area after taking two notes from the dispersed stack and placing them in his pocket. Without expecting anything in return is not in his character.
He has always reminded himself that it is okay to perform good actions, but there must be rewards, even though two banknotes may not seem like much to him.
He had to take out two banknotes as a reward because he assisted the lady in getting rid of the robber and stole back the wallet. He has lived for more than forty years and is aware of how to improve his life.
He doesn’t desire big fortune and power after starting a new life, but he also doesn’t want to go on to become a bad person who just looks out for others.
Additionally, as long as he uses his weird panel to perform good deeds, there will be red stars, and even if he regrets his actions right away, there won’t be any issues.
In other words, if he attempts to save the life of another person, a red star will show in his account. Even if he ends up killing the person after rescuing them, the red star will not go.
The young white-collar lady in the alley timidly stuck her head out after Jerry left. She just heard screaming outside, but she delayed leaving out of prudence.
She was initially astonished and then overwhelmed with excitement when she noticed the man who had passed out nearby the alley’s entrance.
She approached cautiously and saw that the robber appeared to be unconscious. She snatched back her cash and necklace jewels, kicked the man twice, and then walked away in high heels.
She decided against dialing the police. Even if two notes of her money were missing, it didn’t matter because both the money and the jewels had been returned.

September 1, 1991.
Jerry prepared everything he needed to bring to Hogwarts before getting out of bed. He began studying magic at Hogwarts on this day, which also marks the conclusion of his one-month experience period.
[The countdown to return starts in 10, 9, 8, 7,…]
Jerry took a deep breath and then gripped the wand tightly as he stared at the panel’s countdown to his return.
[Three, two, one, begin the return.]
He experienced the sensation of the world becoming completely frozen at the conclusion of the countdown, and then his eyes went dark and he passed out.
“Amazing, I have my wand here.”
Instead of focusing on the two criminals standing next to him, Jerry dipped his head to inspect the magic wand in his right hand.
Before, his biggest concern was that the magic wand couldn’t be brought back after returning. It would be practically difficult for him to cast magic without the aid of a magic wand. The failure rate could reach 99%.
“Let’s see how to securely deal with these bandits now,” he said.
Jerry tightened the grip on his wand and peered around the entire school bus’ interior. In reality, he had already begun planning how to neutralize these armed robbers before leaving.
It is not too tough to deal with these robbers if magic is used as support. He had experimented the previous evening. The most challenging part is preventing the robbers from unintentionally hurting other kids on the school bus.
He intends to wait and observe if a tipping moment occurs. In the absence of a turning point, he will take drastic action. He and his sister’s safety must come first, even though it is possible to unintentionally hurt certain others. All he can do for the rest is apologize.
The police car should have been abandoned, and the money should have been left on the school bus, so he wouldn’t have to take any more chances. He can get the red stars if he performs nice things, though. When he masters magic, he will have more opportunities in the future. There’s no reason to take chances.
“Smith, the police have already been left behind.”
The two robbers standing next to Jerry noticed that their furious gunfire caused the final police car to likewise come to a stop. They chuckled and alerted the robber who was holding Mrs. Belle at gunpoint in the middle of the school bus.
The leader of the four robbers should have been the one who pointed the gun at Mrs. Belle. He turned around and asked the robber who was in charge of the driver Paul after hearing the reports from the two robbers behind him.
“Have you reached the place yet?”
“We’ll be there soon!”
The school bus was parked on the side of a remote road about 20 minutes later, at the order of the criminals in front.
“What should we do next—should we kill them all, or what?”
The two robbers who were in the back of the school bus approached Smith, the leader. When Jerry heard the words, he instantly raised the wand he was holding. The only option left to the thief is to take a chance if he wants to kill everyone in the car.
“Why murder them all, you idiot? Do you feel we didn’t pass away quickly enough?” Smith, the robbers’ leader, kicked him in the ass.
He was fully aware that robbing a tiny bank would be sensational but not really serious. After all, only the bank suffered a loss, and the amount they stole from the bank was but a drop in the ocean.
However, there would be uproar in the society if elementary school students were killed on a school bus. Everyone will start shouting at them and hitting them, and it’s even feasible that the government would send in the military to deal with them. He called his subordinate a “brainless moron” for this reason.
