The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

In the magic training room on the third underground floor of Forlì Castle, Link's training on the Apparition Spell is still continuing.

crackling—

Intermittent slight explosions continued to echo in the training room.

Along with these sounds, Link's figure holding the wand continued to disappear and reappear in the spacious magic training room, and each time he appeared in a different location.

After a long time, the explosions in the training room finally stopped.

Link's eyes were bloodshot and he kicked open the safe box in the corner.

Only a few bottles of the awakening magic potion and hunger-satisfying nutrient solution that were originally filled in the box were left, and the rest of the potions had already become empty bottles and were piled randomly at the bottom of the box.

Link casually pulled out two tubes of awakening potion and nutrient solution, mixed them and poured them into his mouth, and then continued training on the Apparition Spell.

His training on the Apparition Spell is actually very simple. As just described, he continuously casts the Apparition Spell within the limited area of ​​the spell training room for an instant.

Although based on the characteristics of the system, the Apparition Spell that has been engraved into the system and gained levels will not cause harm to itself due to casting errors.

But Link still hates this method of leveling.

The reason is simple. Each successful cast of the Apparition Spell can only provide Link with single-digit experience, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the long experience bar.

It's just so boring and uninteresting.

But Link had no other choice.

Wizards have very little research on space, and because space research is the most sophisticated project, it has not yet been transformed into science. Link has no way to understand those esoteric research notes, and naturally there is nothing he can do. Gain experience through learning.

So, he could only use the old method of practice makes perfect.

In order to increase the level of the Apparition Spell as much as possible before the start of school, Link practiced leveling crazily almost 24 hours a day.

If you're sleepy, drink a tube of awakening potion.

If you are hungry, drink a tube of nutritional supplements.

To this day, there is no change in light and shadow in the long and intense leveling and magic training room, so much so that Link has forgotten the specific time and number of days.

Now the only thing that Link cares about is the steps to cast the Displacement Spell, and the experience bar on the data panel that is slowly moving at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

[76%...81%...93%...99%...]

I don't know how long it has passed.

After Link mechanically waved his wand and teleported again, a barrage that Link had been waiting for finally appeared on his retina.

[Apparition spell lv3-lv4 successful! 】

The influx of a large amount of knowledge made Link's temples swell slightly, but Link took a deep breath and closed his eyes, his face full of joy.

He opened the data panel as quickly as he could and started adding points.

[Skill point*1 confirmed for use]

[Apparition spell lv4-lv5 successful! 】

[Gold skill point*1 confirmed for use]

[Breaking through the upper limit...]

[Apparition spell lv5-lv6 successful! 】

hum-

It was like being hit on the back of the head by an invisible sledgehammer.

The influx of a large amount of information made Link feel a sharp pain in his head, and at the same time there was a violent buzzing in his ears.

This is the result of Link adding points directly and continuously, causing the knowledge of lv4, lv5 and lv6 to pour in together.

But Link didn't care about the pain.

On the contrary, he even felt a little happy.

Those pains reminded him every moment that the boring leveling journey was over.

Now is the time to reap the fruits of victory!

Link, with a smile on his face, fell backwards, and the Voldemort bat that had been hanging behind him immediately dragged his body and slowly placed it on Arkham, who came after him.

"Hiss!~" (Congratulations! Link!)

Akam said happily.

As a snake, of course he cannot understand the current situation, but this does not prevent him from sensing Link's current mood.

As long as Link is happy, he is happy too.

Link lay quietly on Arkham, waiting until the pain in his head subsided, then raised his wand again.

Snapped--

A faint white light flashed, and Link suddenly appeared 20 meters away.

Feeling the magic power in his body, Link smiled with satisfaction.

The effect of the Apparition Spell Level 6 was basically consistent with his expectations. It had reached the point where he could cast the spell silently and without a wand, and it could be used as a flash.

However, this kind of flashing can only be performed within a range of 5 meters, and the casting time, or cold-blooded time, is as long as [-] minutes.

This is already the limit area tested by Link. The difficulty of casting the Apparition Spell is that the farther away it is, the more difficult it becomes.

Of course, if there is an emergency, Link can temporarily break through this limit, but at the cost, Link's body will suffer huge damage.

"call!"

Link took a deep breath, and fatigue swept over him as his nerves relaxed.

This is inevitable.

Although the Awakening Potion can replenish energy and make people feel less sleepy, it will still produce a certain amount of residual fatigue.

The satisfied Link did not resist the sleepiness, lay back on the snake cake Arkham had plated, and fell asleep neatly.

Link could be said to have slept so darkly that his whole body felt limp. It was obvious that he had slept too much before Link got up, opened the door and walked out.

Little Button, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, immediately came to greet her. Her big eyes were filled with tears, and she was so choked up that she couldn't even speak.

Link waved his hand to stop Little Button from speaking, and said first:

"First go and inform mother and Emily that I'm awake, and then prepare hot water. I need a good soak."

Little Button didn't even wipe his tears when he heard this. He nodded and was about to snap his fingers and teleport away.

Just then Link stopped him again and said:

"By the way, how long have I been in retreat?"

"16 days! Master, you have been in the training room for 16 days! Today is August 8th! Little Button has been waiting at the door for Master to come out. Little Button..."

When Little Button heard this, he immediately stopped moving and began to talk while wiping his tears.

It's a pity that Link is so numb now that he has no interest in hearing this. He raised his hand to stop him:

"I understand, please go ahead and do what I told you before."

After saying that, Link took Arkham and Yo-Yo towards the bathroom.

……

An hour later, Link was lying lazily in the soup pool, eating the grapes handed to him by Emily, and listening to Old Kelley slowly telling what happened outside the soup pool during his retreat.

Since the narrator is Old Krei, the first thing that is mentioned is naturally the situation in Germany.

From his story, Link learned that Dumbledore had fulfilled his promise. Under the selective ignorance of the International Federation of Wizards and the German Ministry of Magic, the markets that should have been occupied by the Alliance of Despicables have now been occupied by Beckman. The family, or rather the Foley family, gathered together.

At present, the industry and strength of the Foley family in Germany have entered a period of rapid growth. It is estimated that within half a year they will replace the original Alliance of Despicables and become a new generation of giants in the German magic world while reaping a large amount of profits.

The situation on the mainland of Yu is even more interesting.

The war between Fudge and Old Barty did not end temporarily because of Link's retreat.

In the recent period, apart from being a bit reluctant to let go at the beginning, the two parties have since become completely at odds with each other. They have convened meetings of Wizengamot MPs every day to quarrel with each other, and even went crazy to bribe and encourage the media to attack off the court. other side.

The most important thing is that both sides made a lot of jokes during the entire process of criticizing each other.

For example, Fudge was photographed dozing off at a press conference and was accused of suffering from Alzheimer's disease and being unfit to continue serving as Minister of Magic.

Old Batty's side went even further.

All his speech errors and slips of the tongue in recent times were summarized and compiled into a set of magic photos, which were published in the Daily Prophet, making a big joke.

But by this time, no one mentioned the matter of old Barty turning a blind eye to the Death Eaters and his Death Eater son.

After all, officials from both sides knew that the beneficiaries of the incident were all Ministry of Magic officials. If they pulled out the carrots and brought out the mud, they would not be able to fight Old Barty to the death.

In general, the direct result of the conflict between the two parties was that wizards all over the country, and even the world, ate a big melon.

The media people in the magic world of the Republic of China are even more fed up.

The only people who suffered were probably the members of the Wizengamot.

Originally, they stayed at their respective posts easily every day, or simply retired and went home to enjoy their happiness.

As a result, Fudge and Barty Sr. sent them invitations to meetings every day. The matter was so big that they worried about the public opinion and refused to go, which annoyed the congressmen.

In fact, several senior council members have already taken sick leave and hid in the St. Mungo's Council of Magical Injuries and Injuries.

As of today, the battle between these two groups is coming to an end.

In other words, Old Batty and the others are close to winning.

Because Fudge simply couldn't convince Bones to help him overturn Dumbledore's testimony.

In this case, Fudge naturally became a representative figure of stupidity and badness.

This directly led to the fact that although Fudge was still the minister of the Ministry of Magic, his actual power was greatly restricted.

At least more than a dozen departments, including the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Department of International Magical Liaison, have begun to disobey Fudge's orders, and instead follow the orders of Old Barty and his councilors.

Nowadays, the only departments that are still firmly controlled by Fudge are the Auror Office and the Department of Mysteries.

The Auror office is equivalent to the army, or military power.

The Department of Mysteries is a department responsible for storing dangerous or precious magic items and conducting research and development on them.

Equivalent to the National Academy of Sciences.

Judging from this alone, Fudge's current power should be pretty good. After all, he still controls the two lifebloods of the army and scientific research.

But in fact it is not the case.

First up is the Auror office.

As a politician who devoted himself directly to official career after graduating from Hogwarts, Fudge's prestige in the Auror office was actually not high.

Compared to Fudge, who has an awkward and cunning personality, the Aurors are more willing to listen to the current head of the Auror Office, Rufus Scrimgeour.

The reason why the Auror Office is still in Fudge's hands is simply because Scrimgeour is still willing to obey Fudge's orders.

But this does not mean that Scrimgeour will obey Fudge.

If it is an unreasonable or illegal order, Scrimgeour will directly refuse it.

He's not afraid of Fudge.

As for the Department of Mysteries, it's even more deceptive.

As a scientific research institution, both to continue ongoing research and to maintain those dangerous magical items requires a large amount of gold galleons.

And even if there are silent people guarding it, dangerous magic items in the Department of Mysteries will explode from time to time in the future, causing huge losses to magic.

Therefore, to the current Fudge, the Department of Mysteries is nothing more than a gold-swallowing time bomb.

It was a burden that Old Barty and the others threw to Fudge because they no longer wanted it.

What makes Fudge most desperate is that his support among the people has dropped to freezing point.

It is foreseeable that if no miracle happens, he will lose the position of Minister of Magic when the next round of elections begins.

"...that's probably how it happened."

Old Kelie closed the note and said with a smile on his face.

As for the small things like Sirius Black running over to ask to see Link and being rejected, he went crazy and was eventually expelled by the hunters by force. He felt there was no need to tell Link.

"Uncle Kled, you have done a great job. Of course, old Batty has also done a great job. It is expected that the funds allocated to him will be increased by another 30%."

Link, who was enjoying himself in the pool, leaned against the wall and said without raising his eyes.

After hearing this, Old Kled outside was obviously stunned for a moment, and began to mutter dissatisfied nonsense, but finally left the bathroom with Link's order.

It wasn't until he was far away that Link opened his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

He was very satisfied with the results achieved by Old Batty and the others.

The result mentioned here does not mean that they defeated Fudge.

This victory had already been expected by Link. He had made so many efforts and arrangements for it. It would be strange that Old Barty and the others couldn't win.

What really satisfied Link was that Old Barty and others maintained sufficient restraint after winning!

Fudge will probably never know that Old Barty has already had the power to directly overthrow his regime.

And the reason why he didn't do this was because Link asked him to exercise restraint.

Although they have gained power now, they still need to do many things that cannot be revealed in the future in the process of fighting against Voldemort and seeking benefits for the Foley family.

At this time, the role of letting Fudge continue to be the polished commander of the Ministry of Magic is reflected.

As the apparent minister and commander of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge will be pushed out by Old Barty and Link at the right time, and he will bear all the dangers and consequences.

This is the embodiment of maximizing benefits!

Thinking of this, the smile on Link's lips became brighter.

wow-

With the sound of water breaking, Emily slipped into the pool water and slowly came to Link's side along the pool wall.

She gently fiddled with Link's wet bangs on his forehead and said:

"What are you thinking? So fascinated."

Link did not reply, but locked his gaze on Emily's body hidden in the thick water vapor. There was still a faint blue light flashing in his eyes, and his breathing gradually became heavier.

"Forget it, I don't want to know, anyway, they are all trivial matters." Emily tied up her hair, leaned on Link's chest and smiled, "I think the most important thing now is What do you think about finishing the things we didn’t do in the past?”

"you are right."

Link whispered, his body naturally pressed against Emily.

"Hey—"

this night.

At that moment when the rumbling thunder dispersed into bursts of thunder, it was thrilling.But the thunderbolts were still crackling, and the dark clouds split, shooting golden arrow-like lightning from the dense clouds to the earth.Thunder is roaring, dark clouds are burning, spitting out terrible blue flames, the sky is trembling, and the earth is shaking timidly...

At this moment, only the roses in the courtyard were blooming, and delicate little flowers were blooming among the green leaves. This fragrant flower was the only symbol of the passion of life in the rain.
