From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 83: The Unfortunate Tom Riddle
In spring, everything is showing new vitality. The biting cabbages and poisonous tentacles in the Request-Granting House are growing well. Ivy thinks they will be useful soon.

Along with these lethal magical plants, the evil thoughts in Ivy's heart also sprouted.

That day, he completed the fourth-ring spell Morduncan's Private Chamber in the secret room on the map. He sat at the heavy wooden desk, opened a diary, and wrote the following words with the pen of a wizard:

"Hello, dear Mr. Tom Marvolo Riddle."

"Foreword, I am about to start an inhumane study of dark magic on your lovely Horcrux. Please forgive me if I disturb you in any way."

"Of course, I promise that the most terrible outcome would be to completely dismantle this Horcrux and shatter the soul fragments within it. It would not be more painful than the pain you incurred when you actively split your soul when you created this Horcrux."

"If the pain is unbearable, don't worry about my feelings, just shout it out. I think shouting it out will make you feel better and make me enjoy it more."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you don't have a mouth."

……

After writing this, Ivy stopped writing and waited for a while. There was no text on the notebook that served as a Horcrux, as if Tom's soul was not in it.

Ivey continued:

"Since you don't reply, I'll take it as you agree to my rude request."

"The first is a tolerance test, designed to verify what type of damage can get past the protective magic of the Horcrux and harm you."

Ivy is convinced that his black magic will work, and he believes in "biting the big melon" more than he believes in his own fingers.

However, what we are going to test now is not the spells of wizards, but magic from another worldview.

Ivy made a simple gesture, chanted a short spell, and released a 1st level wizard spell, Witch Arrow.

This spell will create a lightning energy spell that links the caster and the target, causing a certain amount of lightning damage, and then repeating the lightning damage every six seconds until the maximum duration of the spell arrives or the caster disconnects the spell.

But after Ivy's research on the mathematical formula of Sorcery Arrow, combined with the professional characteristics of the Scribe's Mage Awakening Grimoire, he can change the damage type of Sorcery Arrow every 6 seconds until the spell ends.

The maximum duration of the sorcery arrow is one minute, or 60 seconds. If the damage type is changed every 6 seconds, Ivy can test a total of 11 damage types within the duration of the spell.

Ivy let go of the Wizard's Pen in his hand and let it record the experimental data on another piece of paper.

"At 0 seconds after the witchcraft arrow started, the spell completed and hit. The damage type was lightning. A slight odor appeared in the air, which should be the result of ionized ozone. The surface of the Horcrux remained intact. The effect of this damage type was not obvious."

"... At the 6th second, the damage type was thunder. The papers on the desk were blown away. Maybe next time I shouldn't experiment with thunder damage spells in a closed room. It was too noisy." "... At the 12th second, the damage type was fire. Apart from leaving a charred mark on the solid wood desk, there was no other gain. Put a special spell test bench on the agenda. It should be easy to make one using the spell of Miraculous Craftsmanship, but the raw materials are difficult to get."

"…At the 18th second, the damage type was radiance. The pages of the Horcrux showed large wrinkles. The radiance damage that restrained negative energy was indeed effective. However, Mr. Tom did not comment on this. It seems that the damage was not great. At least he could still bear it."

"…24 seconds. The damage type is strong acid. Perhaps a repair spell alone can't fix this poor desk. The stench in the air is getting stronger. I cast a head-bubbling spell on myself."

"…30 seconds. The damage type is poison. The Horcrux has not changed except for the damage it received from the radiant damage two rounds ago. The only conclusion is that green and purple cannot be mixed. They look like a mass of mud. This desk cannot be used."

"… At the 36th second, the damage type is necrotic. More pages in the Horcrux begin to wrinkle and begin to show a dilapidated gray-black color. It seems that black magic and necrotic damage are not the same type. I will write down the key points for further research."

"… At the 42nd second, the damage type was freezing. No effect. Pass."

"… At 48 seconds, the damage type was mental. The Horcrux turned over in the air and let out a terrifying howl. The ink I had written before was disrupted and reorganized to form four big letters on the new page - STOP. Fortunately, Mr. Tom seemed to be in good spirits, and he could actually scream through a Horcrux without a mouth. It really shows his profound magical attainments."

"…54 seconds, the damage type is force field, which is also the last type of damage. Generally speaking, noble force field damage is very useful in breaking doors or walls, but it is not so suitable for Horcruxes protected by magic, so it just turned my solid wood desk into a pile of firewood."

"… The 60th second. This was the last round of the witchcraft arrows. In order to avenge the destruction of the desk, I switched the damage type back to the mind and enjoyed Mr. Tom's wailing in the ruins of the desk."

Ivy stopped concentrating on the spell, took out his wand, used a vanishing spell to clean up the magic experiment site, and picked up the Horcrux that was in poor condition.

After flipping through it briefly, Ivy discovered new ink marks on the pages of the diary. They looked twisted and messy, as if the mental damage caused by the witchcraft arrows had made Tom's soul fragments in the diary suffer terribly.

"What do you want?"

This is the question Tom wrote down.

After thinking for a while, Ivy wrote with the wizard's pen: "Everything."

Tom replied eagerly: "Of course, everything about me is open to you as long as you can open your heart to me."

Ivy shook his head and wrote with deep and dark curse magic: "Mr. Tom, you don't think I'm joking when I talk about black magic?"

The evil power from the master of curses and black magic left deep scars in the diary. Starting from the letters written by Ivy, the mottled ink quickly eroded half of the pages of the diary, and they began to derail, de-glue, and even decay.

Before the dark magic caused irreparable damage to the Horcrux, Ivy took the initiative to stop casting the spell. What he wanted was the secret of the soul hidden in the Horcrux, not a pile of useless and torn papers.
