Shiller naturally has his own leads to investigate, and his informant is the Scarlet Witch.
Although Jarvis pretended to be busy and didn't go with Wanda to find Miles, he still monitored Wanda through the camera the whole time. On one hand, to timely record any potential clues, and on the other hand, to be able to rush there if Wanda encountered any danger.
Shiller knew that Jarvis would definitely do this, so instead of staking out at Miles' house, he went straight to Wanda's house to find Jarvis. When he arrived, Jarvis was staring at the screen.
"Doctor, you're here. Wanda just left not long ago."
"She went to Miles' place?"
"Yes, fortunately, Miles moved to a relatively safe neighborhood, otherwise, I would definitely have to go with her."
Shiller shook his head and said, "The Bronx area, no matter how safe, is still like that, but those petty thieves are no match for Wanda. Don't worry."
Shiller walked over to watch the surveillance with him.
It wasn't long after dark when Wanda went out. She didn't wear a uniform or carry any special weapons, just took her car keys and left.
New York was no longer as congested. Wanda drove all the way straight to reach the center of the Bronx.
Although the overall security of the Bronx was not great, there were still some decent neighborhoods where the rent was relatively cheaper compared to other areas. Miles found an apartment here.
Unlike most other Spider-Men, Miles didn't have a high education level or any proper work experience, so besides being Spider-Man, he just did odd jobs here and there.
However, Miles seemed to understand that his lack of education might make it difficult for him to understand even being Spider-Man, so he borrowed some money from Peter and enrolled in community college.

Jarvis provided Miles' information to Wanda, so she roughly knew where to start. She pretended to visit the community college and searched the crowd for Miles' figure.
In America, community colleges are not universities and are more like technical schools, and not every community has one; typically, a large district might have one or two. Class times are not fixed, and the education level is generally average.
The advantage is that they are not as expensive as regular universities, and if you pass the examinations within the school, you can earn some social professional qualification exams. Wanda signed up for the nursing program, so she could take the nursing qualification exam after graduating from the school.
She saw that Miles' major was computer science, which was considered the flagship program at the community college, and it was heard that two graduates even entered Google. Within the realm of community colleges, it's quite a good place.
Because of this, many people joined this major. Wanda glanced around the classroom, seeing students ranging from teenagers to those in their sixties, with diverse races. Everyone sat quietly in the classroom, not showing any hint of the tension seen on the streets.
In the back row of the classroom, Wanda spotted Miles. After locking onto her target, she paused at the doorway for a while.
The community college teacher was very enthusiastic with her because Wanda was a mother of two children and had been a full-time housewife for almost two years. Such individuals enrolling in community college meant the community college could receive more subsidies from the state government.
"To be honest, I'm quite satisfied with all the conditions here, but the only concern is... I'm not saying it's bad, but I noticed a lot of people of color here..."
Wanda showed a worried expression and quickly explained in case the teacher misunderstood, "After all, there was an incident during a Black march a few days ago, and I'm afraid..."
"There's no need to worry at all, ma'am. All the students here are very friendly, and they are not those radical racial activists. They will definitely welcome new students warmly."
"Really? But... okay, I won't hide it anymore, I'm a Mutant, and maybe someone among them might be afraid of me, I don't want to cause you any trouble."
"No problem at all, ma'am. There are also Mutants among our students, and everyone gets along happily, there's absolutely no issue."
Seeing the teacher's smile, Wanda slightly frowned. She nodded, "Alright, you guys allow trial classes, don't you? Can I sit in on a class to try it out?"
"Of course, no problem." The teacher glanced at one of the nearby classrooms and then said, "There's just an empty seat in this classroom, why don't you sit over there, I'll go have a word with the lecturer."
Wanda nodded to him with a smile and walked towards the empty seat, which happened to be in the back row of where Miles was sitting.
Wanda went over and sat down, pretending to be friendly, nodding and smiling at the classmates next to her, and quite a few people glanced her way.
Very soon, however, the teacher's voice drew the students' attention back, making them refocus on their class.
Miles had a hoodie over his head and was buried in note-taking. He just glanced up when Wanda walked past him and then looked down again.
It took a long time before Miles realized who he had seen. He had met Wanda before, but it didn't register at first.
He couldn't help frowning, lightly twirling the pen in his hand. All he knew was that Wanda's husband was a good friend of Stark's, and Wanda was likely a Mutant; he knew nothing more.
Thus, he couldn't be certain whether Wanda knew his true identity because he hadn't heard of any connection between Wanda and Peter.
Wanda sat in the last row of the classroom, observing the atmosphere, lightly brushing her lips with her hand, and secretly sent a message to Jarvis via mobile phone:
"Tony's intuition was right, there's indeed something off."
In front of the surveillance screen, Shiller and Jarvis sensed something too. The main issue lay in that the atmosphere was almost too harmonious.
Firstly, while it's not necessarily true that everyone attending community college in America is not a good student, their economic status is generally relatively modest. People without stable jobs, relying on family or friends' support, are common, and those with stable jobs merely seeking self-improvement are rare.
While you can't say these people are unsophisticated, they are mostly disconnected from society or socially inept, unable to maintain long-term employment for various reasons.
Their reaction to someone suddenly barging into their class was just too calm, which was very abnormal.
"I still remember when Wanda was interviewing for the community school here, she was quite nervous. It was I who suggested she sit in on a class first. The moment she walked in, everyone stared at her for at least two minutes."
Shiller nodded and said: "Even without considering anything else, Lady Wanda's appearance is quite striking."
"Yes, they were all surprised, seemingly not believing that someone like her would come to a community college to study. Wanda was very nervous because of this and took quite some time to fit in."
Perhaps love indeed keeps people young, or using The power of Scarlet for housework truly reduces fatigue. All in all, compared to ordinary families' stay-at-home mothers, who stay home to save on nanny expenses and worry about child care, Wanda seemed more like one of those wealthy ladies who don't need to do any housework.
Her hair was smooth and shiny, her complexion fair without wrinkles or noticeable sagging, with no dark circles around her eyes, her figure hadn't deteriorated after childbirth, and there was an overall vibe of enthusiastic living about her, not one bit resembling a bustling and strained poor person.
Such an individual, even on a whimsical pursuit of a career, certainly wouldn't come to a community college. Wanda originally could obtain a recommendation letter from Shiller or Strange and directly attend a prestigious university. It was her humility and fear of not keeping up with the courses that made her want to try community college first.
Someone like this breaking into a community college class would certainly receive a collective attention salute, to the extent that it might be challenging to continue the class for the latter half.
People might think it exaggerated, but class segregation in America is very severe. Those living in underprivileged communities might never see a wealthy person in their lifetime. They are not allowed into good neighborhoods, not even close. Residents of good communities could call the police directly when they appear.
If a family goes bankrupt and can't pay property or management fees, the property owners can directly vote them out. A community of a particular class only has people of that class; it's nearly impossible for someone from the lower class to blend in.
In this situation, Wanda is truly an odd sight, like suddenly seeing a dog walking upright on the road, normal people would undoubtedly gather around to watch out of curiosity.
But people in this classroom only took one look and went about their business. Even after the teacher clearly stated that Wanda was a Mutant, still, there was no reaction.
It is crucial to know that most major incidents caused by out-of-control Mutants occur in densely populated areas, which are not affluent districts. Hence, civilians are less tolerant of Mutants. In such a setting, it's not impossible for others to cause an uproar.
Shiller scratched his chin, motioning Jarvis to rotate the camera to focus on the teacher lecturing at the front.
After listening for a while, he realized the lecture content was normal, covering basic computer knowledge, without any provocative speech.
Jarvis continued rotating the camera, but Shiller suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
The camera halted at an angle capturing the blackboard. Shiller pointed at a point on the screen, saying, "Zoom in and see what that is."
Jarvis zoomed in, and they saw a small logo in the lower right corner of the blackboard. Upon further zooming, it appeared to be Roxon Corporation's emblem.
It could be seen from the video that this emblem wasn't stuck on but was part of the blackboard's pattern.
Jarvis immediately sent a message to Wanda and learned from her that indeed there was such a pattern, barely visible from the last row.
Jarvis quickly tapped on the keyboard to access various information. Shiller's gaze immediately locked onto one:
"Roxon Energy Co., Ltd funds three community colleges in the Bronx to procure electronic blackboards and other intelligent teaching facilities, supporting New York's adult education endeavors."
Jarvis swiftly maneuvered the computer, saying, "I suspect there's something wrong with these smart teaching devices. Wanda, don't act rashly for now. I'll have a drone deliver a signal detector."
