Hogwarts Study Panel

Chapter 366, Section 364: Butler Pukchi
Sheen suddenly found himself with a Pukchi butler.

Although it always held its head high, it lowered its head after Professor Terra burst into the hut and happily helped Sheen sign the contract.

Sheen felt that this was somewhat similar to... the taming process of house-elves.

“Pukch will follow the great wizard, witness glory, and be fearless of death.”

William's face was cold.

Sheen saw a fanatical look on the face of a man named Will Pukchi.

“Alright, the first one... the wizard who took Pukchi away.”

After Principal Herrera put down the Mayflower, he left with a single sentence.

Now, only Sheen was left looking at the man named Will Pukchi.

Indeed, he needs a butler, but... this is too fast.

“You will become a great wizard like Lady Aesop Sel, and Will is willing to offer his loyalty.”

Pukch, named Will, knelt on one knee.

"Pukchi are proud and they like to use tricks to tease humans, but that is not the case for the Pukchi gathered by Iphamoni."

Lady Sel built the Iphamoni Forest as a hunting ground for the Pukchis to thank William for saving her life.

The Pukchi lived and thrived in the forest, generation after generation. They were grateful to Ms. Sel and admired William.

Therefore, they want to achieve legendary status like William.

Thus, generation after generation of Pukki searched for the so-called 'Great Wizard'—and it must be said, they possessed a vision unimaginable to wizards.

Professor Terra explained, a proud and pleased smile on her face.

She used to recruit Pukchi here because they were more competitive than house-elves, and in some ways, more stubborn.

Or rather, they possess a loyalty that rivals that of house-elves.

But clearly, she failed.

Seeing her disciple succeed, her eyebrows relaxed with joy.

"Have you found the cat-leopard? How's the progress on the Wizard's Book?"

Professor Terra has been very busy lately, and now that Christmas is a week in, she is showing concern for the younger generation's magical studies like a kind elder.

Sheehan first helped Will up; what they signed wasn't a full-fledged slave contract, but more like an investment.

Pukch serves Sheen and takes his orders, but only for a term of thirty years. After thirty years, Pukch can decide for himself whether to stay or leave.

Keep in mind that Pukchi can live for hundreds of years—for example, William is at least four hundred years old—thirty years is not a long time for them.

"The Wizard's Book has been improved."

Sheen answered seriously.

"Show me around."

Professor Terra raised an eyebrow.

When the 300-square-meter Beginning Plains area was presented to Professor Terra, she could already smell the scent of grass and soil, and her expression was somewhat dazed.

"Some...?"

At this moment, she smiled helplessly.

"Where's the cat-leopard? Have you found it...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Ifa pounced on Sheen.

"All right……"

Professor Terra's smile was genuine.
"My dear disciple, it seems our mission in Iphamoni is complete?"

Sheen stroked Ifa's cat head and nodded with a slight smile.

……

Stepping out of the cabin, Iphamoni's stone house had vanished once again.

Its purpose was solely for a headmistress who refused to leave; now that she's gone, the cottage has vanished.

Walking along the snow path, Sheehan saw William seemingly wiping the statue of Iso Sel for the last time.

Will, standing beside Sheen, silently watched his predecessor.

"Lord William said that to create bonds, one must bear the risk of shedding tears."

Will suddenly blurted out a sentence.

This made Professor Terra examine it with great interest.

“I am Mr. William’s favorite junior, and I remember every word he said.” Will seemed quite proud.

Although Professor Terra thought it was somewhat nonsensical and quite interesting.

“I think I will shed tears for you too, Mr. Green.”

Will said seriously.

These words made Professor Terra laugh uncontrollably.

Sheen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Why did you choose Green?

Professor Terra asked with curiosity.

"It was chosen by Lord William."

Will answered.

"Oh, okay, so why you?"

Professor Terra asked again.

"It was chosen by Lord William."

Will said.

"All right……"

Amidst the commotion, Sheen and his companion, along with Pukchi, entered Ifamoni Castle.

Newt is leaving to return to Dorset, England, and Sheehan and Professor Tara have completed their mission, which means:

They can act together.

As for why Newt doesn't return to America, it's just as he wrote in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them":

After the Magical Congress of the United States heard that I had a large number of unregistered magical creatures in my trunk, Jacob, Tina, and I were arrested.

Unfortunately, the Magical Congress later found another Obscurus in the box.

So, Percival Grevis sentenced Tina and me to death...

After Hufflepuff's saga in New York, the Magical Congress of America had a peculiar relationship with him—both welcoming and ready to expel him at any moment.

In that case, Sheen might be able to prepare for the snowfield area before leaving, and if he encounters any problems, he can ask Mr. Scamander for advice.

So Sheen's time was running out again—it would take a lot of effort and time to perfect such a large place.

Fortunately, with the butler Pukchi, at least Shin doesn't have to go to the snowfield to intercept space himself anymore—Pukchi can Apparate.

As Sheen looked out the window, choosing a spot.

Iphamoni Castle remained shrouded in mist, and the wizards discussed the departing honorary professor with dismay.

In these past few days, they have seen more amazing creatures than they have ever seen in their entire lives.

A bird-serpent that can expand and shrink at will; a thunderbird that summons storms and electrifies people's hair; an invisible beast that inexplicably approaches wizards and is difficult to detect...

The young wizards were overwhelmed by the variety of magical creatures.

Now, this honorary professor is leaving. He is sitting at the head table in the restaurant, smiling shyly at each student who comes to say goodbye.

Beside him was a gilded invitation.

In the magical world, there is basically only one shop that operates on an invitation-only basis.

"Let Tina send me a heartfelt letter; maybe I'll find some time to visit her."

Principal Herrera said to Newt casually.

"I will relay it."

Newt gave a very subtle smile.

"Are you finally going to Fairy Tale Square?"

Principal Herrera asked with a hint of curiosity.

"I want to buy some."

Newt's expectations are even higher.

"Some...you can't be unaware that there's a limit of two yuan per purchase in there, right?"

Principal Herrera looked strange.

Newt's smile slowly faded.
