Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Chapter 153 Tom: No... Dude! I'm fired?!

In this world, the longest road is Li Weide's scheme.

Now, Tom is completely convinced.

Forget it... As long as I get the benefits in the end, what does it matter if I get tricked a little?

Endure!

"So... when you're done playing, tell me how to land..."

Tom hovered in the air, saying helplessly.

Li Weide retorted on the ground: "How can you say that? I'm not playing! I'm helping you familiarize yourself with the feeling of mastering direction! When you want to come down, you'll naturally be able to come down."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah... You're right..." Tom was too lazy to argue with this guy.

When it comes to being inhumane, no one can compare to Li Weide! The key is that when he's being inhumane, he has a bunch of twisted logic!

"Toby, look, this is a bad example. When you cast a spell, you should..."

Tom was in the air, watching Li Weide use himself as an example to explain magic to the house-elf, and he was speaking so softly, almost afraid of being heard. He was too lazy to get angry.

The key is, he doesn't know what's going on now, he feels like he's getting more and more tired...

He didn't know how long it had been, but Tom felt a little drowsy, and he thought he had dozed off a little.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that Li Weide didn't know when, but he had tied the rope binding him to a tree on the side.

And he himself was sitting on a large rock, fishing...

Tom was numb, is this still a human?

Although annoyed, he still asked loudly: "Weide... Please... Are you done playing? Let me down when you're done..."

"What are you talking about? I'm helping you practice magic, what do you mean by playing? Besides, why do you need me to let you down? You'll be down in a while."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"When your physical strength is exhausted and your magic power is insufficient... you'll fall down."

"Ha? Fall... Fall down?! Don't joke around... Weide..."

"Who's joking with you?"

"You... No... You're just scaring me, right?" Tom's voice began to tremble.

Originally, he thought that Li Weide was just playing with him, and would eventually let him down safely.

But now... that guy actually said that he would wait until his physical strength and magic power were exhausted before he came down?

He's more than ten meters above the ground now, right? If he falls down... he'll have to fight for half a day!

For Tom, who is afraid of death... this is simply a nightmare!

"Li Weide! Let me down!"

"This... you don't want to come down yourself, what does it have to do with me?"

"I want to come down! Really!"

"But you're still floating in the sky, that means you still don't want to come down."

"You... you're a beast... Did I want to float in the sky?"

"Yes, didn't you ask me to teach you this magic?"

"Ah! You're really impossible to reason with! You're making me angry! If I fall to my death, I'll become a ghost and bother you every day! You just wait!"

"Alas... Tom, your aptitude is too poor. I've hinted so obviously... Didn't I tell you? Magic is based on your thoughts. There is only one spell from beginning to end. As for going up and down, front, back, left, and right, aren't they all based on your own thoughts?"

Tom was stunned, "No... Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Didn't I say it? I clearly said it! I said just now, when you want to come down, you can naturally come down! You can ask Toby if you don't believe me," Li Weide said dissatisfied.

"Yes, Master Weide did say that, but Master Tom didn't take it seriously," Toby nodded.

Tom thought for a while, and then realized that Li Weide seemed to have... indeed said that?

"Is there a possibility that you could be more straightforward...?" Tom was so tired that he didn't want to speak anymore.

He carefully chanted the spell again, and then concentrated, thinking about descending.

Sure enough, when he wanted to do this, his body really began to turn into black mist and descend.

But... Tom suddenly felt something was wrong.

Because the speed of descent is getting faster and faster!

"No... are you tricking me again? Ah..."

"Plop!"

Tom plunged into the lake...

When Tom crawled out of the lake exhausted, Li Weide was looking at a pocket watch.

"You..." Tom hadn't finished scolding.

Li Weide interrupted him, "Thirty minutes and forty seconds... Not bad, Tom."

"Wh... what?"

"I mean, thirty minutes and forty seconds is your current flight limit. If you exceed this time, you will run out of energy and fall down."

"How do you know my limit?"

"I just measured it? Why are you so stupid? You don't really think I let you float for so long just to play with you, do you?"

Tom lay on the ground for a long time, and finally rolled over in the mud helplessly, looked at the blue sky and cursed weakly, "Damn..."

Okay, this guy has a point no matter what he says... He suspects that this guy has thought of a way out every time before tricking someone.

No, to be precise, it seems that every time he tricks someone, it's not for no reason. He can always trick people in a way that seems very meaningful.

After all... although the process is very uncomfortable, testing the current flight time limit is indeed very helpful to him...

This feeling of wanting to curse but not being able to curse... is really uncomfortable.

Forget it, at least I got a free flight magic, which is also pretty good...

Just as Tom was feeling a little drowsy, suddenly, an owl flew over from the treetop, with a letter in its mouth.

"Oh? Whose letter is it?" Li Weide asked curiously.

"Of course it's for you, is it for me? You know, I don't have many friends."

Tom wanted to turn over, but he was too exhausted, so he decided to continue lying in the mud.

At this time, Li Weide had already taken the letter, opened it, and started reading.

"Oops, this letter is for you, not me." Leif spread his hand, and the letter floated above Tom, unfolding so he could see the words without using his hands.

【Mr. Riddle:

We have received a report that you used a levitation charm in the wild at 9:30 this morning.

You know that underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school. If you do this again, you may be expelled from the school (Law on Reasonable Restrictions on Underage Wizards, 1875, Article 3).

Also, please remember that according to Article 13 of the International Confederation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy, any magical activity that may attract the attention of members of the non-magical community (Muggles) is a serious violation.

Have a pleasant summer!

Nal Gabriel】

Tom sat up abruptly, "No... Dude!"

No mistakes in every sentence and every word!

He looked at Leif, who was gloating on the side, and wailed, "Why?! You used it too! Why did only I receive a warning letter?!"

"Forgot to tell you, Tom, I've already found a way to shield myself from the Trace..." Leif said with a smile.

"Is there any chance you could teach me? You know, if I learn it, it would be more convenient for us..." Tom felt his expression starting to numb.

Leif shrugged, "I'm sorry, I forgot. You know, I just invented a pretty good charm, and I was a little too excited. I forgot that outside, it's not a wizarding settlement, and it's easy to be detected by the Ministry of Magic..."

"Damn it... Leif, you坑货... So, this is the trap you dug?" Tom slumped to the ground again, depressed.

"No, you're wrong. When have I ever dug a pit for you? Sigh... It's okay, Tom, it's just a warning. It's not enough to get expelled..."

"Really? That's lucky..." Tom said sarcastically.

Suddenly, he saw another owl flying from the treetops.

Tom sat up with a jolt, "The letter said I used a levitation charm at 9:30, right?"

"Yes, Tom."

"I freaking... 9:30 was when you used the magic! I only started using it around 9:40! And you used magic just now when you handed me the letter!"

"Ah? Really? Seems like..." Leif widened his eyes belatedly.

"No... I... Am I going to be expelled?!" Tom's face turned green...

"I heard... if you get expelled, your wand will be destroyed too..." Leif muttered.

At this moment, the owl dropped the letter into Tom's hand.

Tom looked at the letter in despair, the light in his eyes disappearing...

"Ahem... How about I write a letter to Grindelwald and ask? See if he's still recruiting?"

"Leif! I'm going to fight you!"

... ...

Safe house.

"Leif... You... You've really disappointed me."

This was the first time Dumbledore had reprimanded Leif.

But Tom had already lost the mood to watch the show, because he was the one being expelled...

At this time, Toby stood up and said in a shrill voice, "Professor Dumbledore, you just need to explain to the Ministry of Magic that Toby used the Levitation Charm when helping the master fish, and Master Tom will not be expelled!"

Tom looked at Toby in surprise. This was the first time he had felt gratitude towards Toby, even though he knew that Toby was doing this to prevent his master from being blamed by Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment before saying, "Toby... You..."

"Toby is a house-elf. House-elves don't need permission from the Ministry of Magic to use magic, and there are no Muggles around!"

"It's useless, the Ministry of Magic will check their wands..."

"We didn't use our own wands when we practiced during the holidays!" Tom's eyes lit up again. "So, they can't detect it!"

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, "Really? Then let me see the wand you used to cast magic."

Tom quickly handed over the wand he used for the Levitation Charm.

And Leif also took out his old wand...

In the beginning, Leif purchased a large number of old wands for himself and Tom.

Tom uses one when practicing magic during the holidays, and another when doing bad things...

Sure enough, Dumbledore didn't find any serious magic when he checked Tom's wand.

But when Dumbledore checked Leif's wand, Tom became a little nervous.

Because he remembered that Leif had just used another wand to cast the Levitation Charm. If Dumbledore didn't find traces of the Levitation Charm on this wand, wouldn't that mean that Leif had another wand?

If Dumbledore really found the spells that had been used on that wand... wouldn't his true colors be exposed? That would be a lot of Cruciatus Curses and Avada Kedavras!

Wait... why should I care about that bastard?

Let him be exposed! Let him be expelled!

However, to Tom's surprise, Leif's old wand also showed the Levitation Charm in Dumbledore's Flashback Charm!

That is to say... Leif had already prepared for this?

Today's situation was caused by that guy?!

He just said that he was using the Levitation Charm for the first time!

But... what was he trying to achieve? To坑 himself? How much hatred is that?!

"What... clever magic... Leif, you just said that you developed this magic?" Dumbledore looked at the Levitation Charm through the Flashback Charm and sighed sincerely. "I think... there's no need for Toby to come forward to help Tom cancel the expulsion punishment. Maybe... you can even win an award! Leif!"

Tom couldn't help but widen his eyes. He suddenly understood something.

He was... being used as a stepping stone?!

Leif! You're a dog! Would you die if you applied for an award with a proper spell?!
