Chapter 6: Andros the Invincible
— — — — — —
Tom took his ti examining the system that had finally shown up.
The Ultimate Study System—as the na suggested—was a tool designed to help him learn faster, better, and more efficiently. Basically, it turned him into a hyper-powered straight-A student.
Any activity remotely related to learning or gaining knowledge would earn him Study Credits. That was the core chanic of the whole thing.
And those credits? They weren’t just for show. They had actual uses:
→Hiring a Private Tutor
The first hour each day was free, but after that, every additional hour cost six credits.
→Entering an Enhanced Learning State
Think turbo mode for your brain. Sharper focus, faster thinking, better mory... kind of like a mini-epiphany. It cost 100 credits for 10 minutes, and each extra minute would cost him 10 more.
Aside from credits, there was another key currency: Achievent Points.
Tom could earn these by hitting major milestones—academic, personal, magical, whatever—or by completing missions from the system. Achievent Points had one major use (at least for now): summoning legendary teachers.
Each tier of teacher had a different cost:
→B-rank: Your average, competent adult wizard – 1 point.
→A-rank: Highly skilled – 10 points.
→S-rank: Once-in-a-generation talent – 100 points.
→SS-rank: Best in a century – 1,000 points.
→SSS-rank: Legendary beyond ti – 5,000 points.
Even just looking at the prices made it clear how massive the gap was between each tier.
"One generation" was roughly 30 years—so an S-rank ant one of the most gifted people of their entire generation. An SS-rank wizard? The best in a hundred years. Legends like Dumbledore definitely qualified.
But SSS-rank? That kind of wizard didn’t co around in just centuries—they were the stuff of magical history books.
Back on the main nu, Tom noticed a floating gift box in the center of his interface. His newbie reward.
When he opened it, the system gave him 100 Study Credits—and one free Teacher summon. The lowest tier he could get? S-rank. Not a bad starting bonus at all.
Still, he was curious... How exactly did the system "summon" these teachers?
With a flick of his mind, Tom claid all the rewards.
A burst of golden light exploded in his vision—like soone had shaken his brain around. When the spinning stopped, his consciousness had shifted into a thick, misty world.
It felt real. So real, in fact, he almost believed he’d been teleported here—except he could still feel his body lying comfortably in bed back ho.
At the sa ti, the system fed him information about this new place.
This was the Study Space. Ti flowed the sa as in the real world, but anything he learned here wouldn’t tire him out physically. He could spend all night learning spells here and still wake up the next morning bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Even better? He could summon books and teaching materials he owned right into the space, making it feel like a super-charged version of a study room.
Of course, just stepping into this space burned through Study Credits—kind of like paying for private lessons. And that 100-credit gift? It wouldn’t last long.
With the basics explained, Tom began scanning his surroundings, looking for his first summoned teacher.
A loud, booming laugh echoed through the mist.
The fog parted, doubling his field of vision, and through the haze ca a towering figure striding confidently toward him.
The man looked like he’d stepped straight out of ancient history. He wore a toga draped over one shoulder in the Greek style, his muscular chest mostly exposed. A laurel wreath sat on his head, and his features were sharp, almost statue-like—like one of those heroic marble sculptures from Athens co to life.
He exuded strength and confidence. A glowing, masculine energy rolled off him like waves. The guy radiated power.
His eyes swept the mist, then locked onto Tom with a widening grin.
"So you’re the little wizard who summoned ?"
His voice was deep and enthusiastic. "Incredible... You’ve got the talent to pull my spirit out of centuries of sleep—and the contract holding
here? Kid, you’ve got luck that’s honestly making
a little jealous."
The envy in his tone was obvious, but Tom didn’t feel threatened at all.
The system had made one thing very clear: anyone summoned into this space couldn’t harm him. Not physically, not magically, not even sneakily. And they were required to share their knowledge openly and without deception.
Even without that, Tom didn’t think this man ant any harm. He was just... too righteous. The guy practically glowed with moral clarity. Compared to him, even Dumbledore seed a little shady.
"Sir," Tom replied smoothly, "Shouldn’t a teacher introduce himself before asking questions?"
The system hadn’t revealed his identity yet, and Tom wasn’t about to let that slide.
The man let out another booming laugh, clearly enjoying himself. "Fair point! My bad for being rude on our first eting."
"I’m Andros," he said, pounding a fist to his chest. "A humble wizard from ancient Greece. I’ve got a bit of experience with wandless magic and the Patronus Charm. Should be enough to get you started."
Tom’s eyes widened slightly. That na sparked a mory.
Back in Diagon Alley, Dumbledore had given him two Chocolate Frogs. Each ca with a collectible Famous Wizard card.
And one of those cards? Andros the Invincible.
That wasn’t just a nickna—wizards back then had given him the title because he had never been defeated. Not once. He was famous for mastering wandless magic and casting giant-sized Patronuses without a wand. Even in modern tis, no one had ever replicated that feat.
He wasn’t just so S-rank nobody.
He was a bonafide SS-rank legend. AKing of the Century.
No wonder Tom had taken a liking to him right away.
The Patronus Charm, after all, relied on powerful positive emotions and happy mories. That’s why it was often used as a test to identify dark wizards.
Andros? He was practically bursting with good vibes.
A man like that... his soul practically shined.
"Mr. Andros, I’m Tom Riddle," Tom said, smiling warmly. "It’s an honor to et you. I’ll be your student from now on, so if I ever ss up or fall short, just let
know—I’ll fix it right away."
Even though the system made it so teachers had to help him, Tom always made a point to be respectful to those offering him guidance. A good attitude cost nothing and often paid off in the long run.
Andros seed to appreciate it. He pounded his chest again with a booming laugh.
"Well said! I’ll do everything I can to help you beco an excellent wizard."
Then, with a more serious tone, he added, "I’m guessing using this kind of power cos at a cost, right? No ti to waste—let’s begin right away."
Tom nodded. He thought about how Hogwarts taught new students and decided to start with the basics.
"Mr. Andros, I haven’t started school yet. Why don’t we begin with the simple spells—like the Wand-Lighting Charm or the Levitation Charm?"
Andros blinked at him, confused.
"Levitation? Wand lighting? What are those?"
Tom: "...???"
