It turned out that Zongze was incredibly reliable. After his investigation, Allen quickly zeroed in on the target and obtained the information on the girl Marshall had previously arranged to meet.
After thinking it over for a while, Allen decisively chose to step back and not interfere—simply put, this matter was terrifying.
Was Marshall walking into a romantic opportunity or a romantic disaster? After reviewing the girl's basic information, Allen broke out in a cold sweat down his back.
Zongze cautiously warned Allen not to spread the information—he was genuinely afraid for his life. If Allen hadn't requested the info and Zongze hadn't already paused halfway through the investigation, he would never have released it.
The girl appeared delicate at first glance, but that was just an illusion.
To be precise, she was born a Muggle and, before entering Mahoutokoro, had been trained by her father, a karate master. Yes, before she even became a wizard—before age seven—she had undergone years of martial arts training.
Wizards often display extraordinary abilities before entering school; many magical families use this as a way to see if their children are talented or hopeless. Neville, for example, nearly got himself killed by his own family this way. This young girl, while demonstrating magical potential, was mistakenly assumed by her careless Muggle father to be gifted in karate. Proudly, he taught her all his techniques suitable for her age.
When Mahoutokoro's acceptance letter arrived, her father was stunned but still sent his daughter to the school.
She was just seven years old.
Any boy knows that at this age, girls physically dominate boys, easily overpowering them until puberty gives the boys a fighting chance.
And as for how ineffective seven-year-old wizards usually are? One only needs to recall Ron and Harry's dueling conversation in first year—Ron told Harry that their fights would just be sparks flying. At that time, Harry and Malfoy were already eleven…
So it's easy to imagine how utterly useless a seven-year-old wizard would be—practically zero combat ability.
Now imagine a girl with years of martial arts training among a bunch of weak first-year wizards—like a Tyrannosaurus rex in a flock of chickens!
During her first month, the young girl set an unprecedented record, probably unbroken for centuries: she single-handedly defeated all the boys in her year, piled them together, and made them apologize to a girl whose candy had been stolen—occasionally stepping on them for good measure.
Professors entering the classroom that day were shocked. Soon, a dueling-obsessed professor praised her performance, especially after learning she had stood up for a classmate, giving her a significant boost in points.
But that was only the beginning. From that day forward, the professor often gave her private lessons, teaching her advanced magic, and even introduced her to the school's mysterious Defense Against the Dark Arts professor—widely regarded as a master despite no one having seen his full strength.
Unfortunately, after hearing that this young girl had beaten all the boys and that they "deserved it," the mysterious Professor agreed to occasionally guide her, continuing the mentorship that had started when another young professor idolized him and stayed at the school after graduation.
From that point on, it was a whirlwind.
When the boys realized they could block her punches with magic, she drew her wand. With her natural talent and the extra instruction she had received, she effortlessly subdued those who dared to resist. Were it not for her still-limited magical knowledge, she might have graduated early—but that didn't affect her raw strength.
Some had witnessed her hanging nearly-graduating students in the air and beating them without leaving any face-saving room. Her power on campus was undeniable, matched by her high reputation among the girls—when older students had problems, she was their first choice.
After learning all this, Allen realized he was watching a future protagonist rise—but curiously, why would Marshall dare approach her?
Sensing Allen's doubt, Zongze explained with sweat dripping from his forehead: "Senior Tsutsugami is slightly older than me but widely recognized as the strongest. Many professors back her, so she has numerous privileges at school.
Apparently, her father thought she was too domineering and might have trouble marrying in the future, so he enrolled her in a bridal etiquette course over the summer. Tsutsugami, being dutiful, obediently attended, following all the etiquette lessons. It was shocking—some reckless students tried to challenge her and ended up in the infirmary for days.
Later, while she was in class, your friend approached her… and then…"
No need to continue, Zongze.
Allen already knew what happened next. The unsuspecting Marshall, seeing her seemingly gentle demeanor, thought he had discovered a new world and began flirting with her.
Given her years of dominating the boys, no one dared approach her—so inexperienced, Marshall was overjoyed by her charm.
As for those around him—even friends didn't dare reveal her true strength—they were probably betting on how Marshall would perish. Unfortunately for him, he succeeded.
The worst part—Marshall's romantic disaster arrived too quickly, and Allen's prefects admired the bold, accountable youth.
The coming period would be Marshall's countdown. Allen glanced at the file, gloating: Kid, you brought this on yourself!
He deserved his protagonist's spotlight—now he'd see how it plays out!
Watching the still-petrified Zongze, Allen asked a new question: "Ahem, Zongze, do florists sell flowers for grave visits via owl delivery?"
