Chapter 258: Chapter 204: Seren, Expecto Patronum
Seren?
A strange na.
Hades stared with vacant eyes, recalling the portraits hung on the walls that detailed their great deeds.
But there was no magician nad "Seren" among them.
Was it because her achievents were not sufficient to warrant a place on the wall, or was there another reason?
Gapar seed to have heard the Tutor Hat ntion this na once, but it was only briefly ntioned amongst a bunch of magicians, and it did not leave a deep impression.
"The fact that your tutor is Seren, the ruthless witch," the Tutor Hat said with so emotion.
Wait, what does he an by ’ruthless witch’? That doesn’t sound good.
"Oh, you needn’t worry about your safety; Seren is very good to her students and is a highly competent tutor. You’ve indeed been assigned a great choice."
"You probably don’t know her deeds, let
tell you about them."
"Seren considered Masters Yazler and Luset as her targets, pursuing the origins of Star Magic. Everyone seeking origins t horrific ends; this research was too dangerous, and both Yazler and Luset were exiled from the academy."
"To research origins, Seren even killed her colleagues; this is why she was labelled as a witch and similarly exiled from the academy, even subjected to hunters’ pursuits, and had a very tough ti for a long period."
She sounds like a research maniac, one who would abandon everything for the sake of research.
But if the Tutor Hat assigned her to students, it ans she is still a tutor at the academy, doesn’t it? What happened later that allowed her to be accepted back into the academy?
"You must be wondering how such a person can serve as a tutor at the academy."
The Tutor Hat saw through everyone’s doubts.
"Because she indeed achieved enough academically to serve as a tutor and was very capable of teaching students, but this alone was not enough for the academy to readmit her."
"What truly allowed her return here is..."
The Tutor Hat paused before saying:
"One of Seren’s students beca a ’king’ and subdued the academy."
Oh, that’s why.
Wait, what?
Everyone was baffled by this overly abrupt answer.
Seren’s student subdued the Reyalucaria Magic Academy, and that’s how she returned here?
Roger looked astonished, thinking this place was filled with magic masters.
Who could subdue a college full of masters? What kind of powerhouse was this?
"What does ’king’ an?" he suddenly asked.
"The Elden King, it’s unrelated to magic; I refuse to answer."
Even refusing to answer, how irkso.
The Elden King, this suddenly significant character, was deeply etched into everyone’s mory.
He must be an extraordinary powerhouse; otherwise, he couldn’t have brought the magic academy to its knees.
Gapar suddenly noticed a loophole.
He rembered that the Magic Academy had hidden in a different space to avoid a certain "nesis." Why didn’t the Elden King intervene when the nesis appeared?
But the Tutor Hat said nothing more, simply urging Hades to reach into it and take out the student ID.
So, amidst strange groans, Hades successfully obtained a student ID in his role as an external professor at Reyalucaria.
It was quite a peculiar feeling.
While infusing his magic power into the student ID, Hades saw a vision.
It was a high mountain covered with snow, with fierce winds carrying heavy snowfall, ice fog obstructing the view everywhere.
A Magician Tower stood at the mountain’s peak. As the view progressed forward, he saw a woman.
She wore a luminous stone mask, sculpted with a female face, looking up at the sky in contemplation.
As she looked up, the cloudy night sky suddenly lit up with stars.
The dark cosmic scene displayed magical colors, with teors streaking across the sky like raindrops, a grand rain of stars falling on the land, each "raindrop" turning into star amber.
Hades’s body quivered suddenly.
Being the most experienced magic professor, his perception of magic was far superior to others.
And in his perception, this teor shower...
Was great magic of a legendary level!
He felt the stars, undoubtedly the highest order of Star Magic, the origins of Star Magic!
What is this magic called? Can I learn it?
Hades wanted to see more of "Star Creation Rain," legendary magic that had long been lost, known to him only as descriptions from ancient texts.
Regrettably, the vision ended there, and before he even had ti to feel disappointed, magic from Seren appeared in his mind —
"Luminous Stone Magic Gravel."
Even after the vision ended, he was still imrsed in Star Creation Rain for a long ti, slowly closing his eyes still captivated by that scene.
Visions can be artificially created, but the feeling of legendary magic cannot be faked; he believed this segnt of the vision was one hundred percent genuine.
Hades was so imrsed that he didn’t hear the Tutor Hat’s evaluation of Spinning Flying Magic Gravel.
Only when Turci took the hat and put it on did he co back to his senses and went aside to study the Spinning Flying Magic Gravel.
He once reproduced Luminous Stone Magic Gravel based on Gong Qiying’s letters, but he knew it was rely a reluctantly made imitation, essentially a fusion of Earth Magic and Flying Magic with a slight touch of his shallow understanding of stars.
Observing the stars in this world, it might indeed be possible to craft unique Luminous Stone Magic Gravel native to this land, but fundantally different from the Magic produced by the Sain Dungeon, where calculation of ti spent would likely be based on centuries.
Hades certainly didn’t know that the Magic from Sain Dungeon originated from another world. He rely sensed sothing amiss and temporarily attributed it to the differences between the ancient stars and the contemporary ones.
If given enough ti, could he truly research the Star Magic of this world?
"Who will my tutor be?"
Turci held the Tutor Hat in her hands, asking eagerly.
[First, I need to see which tutor suits your talent.]
"Ah, I specialize in healing and defense."
[Just saying it isn’t enough, put
on quickly.]
She removed her own hat and placed the Tutor Hat on her head, which let out a sound of exhalation.
[You are the sweetest student I’ve t today.]
"Is this considered harassnt, Mr. Tutor Hat?" Turci asked with a smile.
[Of course not, I’m just a hat, why would I harass you, alright alright, I will start selecting a tutor for you.]
[Let
see your talents... oh, you’ve had such an experience...]
Turci’s smile suddenly disappeared, and she asked, "Do you only assign tutors based on talent?"
[Of course not, there are other factors to consider, such as your life, emotions, personality, etc.]
She stood up suddenly, becoming a bit agitated and her complexion not so good; it seed she even intended to remove the Tutor Hat by hand!
But before she could make this "offensive" move, the Tutor Hat had already finished allocating her tutor.
[Your tutor is... Harry Potter!]
[A certain part of your life reminded
of the Savior of the Magic World; learn from him and you will gain a lot.]
Turci, with a complex expression, held her student ID in hand and imbued it with Magic Power.
Suddenly, her field of vision went dark.
No, it wasn’t just her vision turning dark; the sky itself was enveloped by unseen darkness. She saw a churning lake and human-shaped monsters flying all around in the sky.
These monsters, like tattered rags drifting in the air, had surreal and horrifying silhouettes.
rely gazing at them, Turci felt as if all her joyful emotions were being stripped away, those mories she reluctant to recall surfacing in her mind.
Dark clouds billowed, the Demon Qi surged, and despair swirled about.
She didn’t know that these creatures were called "Soul-Sucking Monsters," terrible monsters that could suck away the "joy" from beings.
No Defense Magic was effective against them, except—
Turci suddenly saw a teenager, his forehead marked with a lightning-shaped scar, his youthful face filled with determination.
He waved his Magic Wand, shouting loudly:
"Expecto Patronum!"
A clear, powerful light burst from the tip of the wand! It spread rapidly all around!
The Soul-Sucking Monsters, like tattered rags, simply couldn’t withstand the Guardian Divine Curse. As the Monsters dispersed, information about "Expecto Patronum" appeared in Turci’s mind.
From its depiction, Expecto Patronum seed like potent aggressive magic, dispersing all the Soul-Sucking Monsters.
However, upon receiving it, she realized it was ant for defense?
Seems like it doesn’t perform physical defense but rather more on the ntal aspect, and also...
Reading the description, why do I feel it’s specifically designed for creatures like Soul-Sucking Monsters that affect one’s emotions?
Its versatility suddenly seed much lesser, but Turci was not about to disdain it because of this.
On the contrary, she needed such a spell that helps one’s will resist negative emotional infections. Among recorded Defense Magics, ntal defenses are often weak, and related magic is difficult to develop.
I could analyze the principles of Expecto Patronum, then combine it with other Defense Magics to enhance its versatility!
Turci thought ambitiously, but her expression suddenly stiffened as she clarified the usage conditions.
[Concentrate, recall the happiest mont of your life, and speak the Spell]
"The happiest mont..."
Her eyes flickered montarily, then quickly returned to normal, hastily handing the Tutor Hat to Roger.
"It’s finally my turn."
Roger, brimming with excitent, put on the hat, eagerly anticipating what kind of tutor he would get.
Since the Tutor Hat considers various aspects of a student when selecting a tutor, might he be assigned one who also loves Monsters?
Really looking forward to it.
[Hmm, oh, you...] the Tutor Hat suddenly made a hesitant sound.
"?" Roger wondered if his talent was so outstanding that it startled the hat. Could he be assigned the most powerful tutor?
However, the Tutor Hat did not grant his wish.
[You’re nothing special, but your intelligence suffices, thankfully, a kind Magic Professor is willing to accept such an ordinary student like you.]
[Your tutor is... Obeck!]
"Ah?"
Roger was stunned.
