"Come on!"
Accompanied by Ian's spellcasting.
The flames erupted.
Surging fiercely.
Golden flames gleamed like the sun, engulfing over ten alchemy dolls, along with all surrounding obstacles and Dark Arts spells, in an instant.
Level 8 magic power.
It's a strength close to the human limit.
Among the blaze.
Ian saw an unnamed magic tag on his system panel.
"Actually completed in one go... Well, well, let me think about what it should be called."
He waved his magic wand.
Dissipating the sea of fire.
Ian saw the charred alchemy dolls and glanced around the scorched walls and floor, the vast practice field had clearly become a ruin.
"Flame Conquest."
The practice field transformed by the Room of Requirement began to repair itself.
Ian also named his newly created magic on the personal panel. And when the name was fixed on the panel, he discovered an unforeseen situation.
[Flame Conquest (Level 7) 1/6400]
Perhaps understanding magic differs from learning others' magic, this magic born from Ian's insight started with a respectable Level 7 skill level.
It instantly surpassed the skill level of other magics, becoming a powerful magic closest to [Legendary Traits], which also meant it possessed an [Extraordinary Traits] since its birth.
[Soul Furnace]
A simple name.
With a simple description: ignite souls, extract magic power.
"Hiss~"
Ian gazed at the [Extraordinary Traits] description displayed under [Flame Conquest], involuntarily inhaling sharply. The words were simple, but the power he perceived was anything but simple.
"Turning a living person into a Golden Apple instantly?!"
Ian always knew that the [Extraordinary Traits] awakened by magic were extremely exaggerated, but he still underestimated the weight contained in the term [Extraordinary Traits].
Just at Level 5 it is already like this.
If it upgraded to Level 10 to gain [Legendary Traits]... Ian didn't even dare to imagine the degree of its awesomeness, he just felt that what he awakened seemed to violate the norms that the Wizarding World should uphold.
"Unfortunately, this magic is quite a burden on magic power. If the magic power weakens to a certain extent, it will lose control." Ian regretfully walked out of the Room of Requirement.
Then.
He turned the doorknob and regretfully entered the familiar ancient classroom.
"Gurgle gurgle~"
Fire was burning.
Potions were brewing.
The crucible was set up again.
It was Ian's way to make up for his regret.
...
Since Snape had already destroyed a large number of Ian's stock, he could only seize the time during Snape's class on the next day, skip Flying Class and sneak into Snape's office to get new supplies. This time he smartened up, not only left no money but also took many other materials to confuse the situation.
At first glance.
Snape would only think he was robbed — Ian still couldn't find Dumbledore after a whole day, he finally mustered up the courage to ask Aurora to inquire Grindelwald for him.
"My grandfather said Dumbledore went out to play with his excellent graduates and will return before Halloween, just in these few days. Is there anything urgent you need to find him for?"
Aurora was as reliable as ever, bringing Ian the accurate answer.
"It's nothing serious."
Ian actually carried two letters from Ariana every day, hoping Dumbledore might be a bit more diligent. A headmaster running off to play with graduates during working days? Packages stuck at the delivery station have to pay a detention fee, the more Ian thought, the angrier he got, he hadn't even received compensation from those Pure-blood Clans yet!
"My grandfather said that the help Dumbledore can offer, he can too." Aurora probably sensed Ian's mood, so she spoke while fiddling with instruments beside him.
"He can't help me with this." Ian was also fiddling with instruments, wanting to capture Dumbledore's expression when reading the letters, not believing Grindelwald would give the desired reaction.
"Can you help me adjust this?"
With Aurora's thoughtful expression, Ian asked her for help, and of course a good friend promptly began helping him adjust the astronomical instruments before them.
The first-year little wizards have an Astronomy Class every week at night, needing to go to Hogwarts' tallest tower. It requires no specific textbook, only a feather pen and parchment. Don't let the course seem obscure, it's actually a required course for Hogwarts students through fifth year.
Slytherin will also attend this class together with Ravenclaw, somewhat differing from what Ian previously knew. The professor responsible for teaching this course is named Aurora Sinistra, a rare black witch, and happens to share the same name as Aurora Grindelwald.
Of course.
This professor has made significant contributions to astronomy, but in terms of research and level in Divination and prophecy, she might not be able to compare to the Grindelwald family's extraordinary talent. This can be seen from Professor Sinistra's admiration of the Grindelwald family's prophecy talent at the start of her class.
She seemed totally unafraid to mention this family; under her enthusiastic dissemination, Ian and many little wizards learned a lot of things they never knew before. After all, it's not a British family, even children from Pure-blood Families only know a few stories about Gellert Grindelwald.
