Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

Thanks to Dumbledore's efforts, Hagrid's false accusation of murder has been cleared.

The Ministry of Magic has allowed Hagrid to have his wand again.

Hagrid can finally openly pull his wand out of his little pink umbrella.

In his excitement, he dragged his older brother, Ratahn, into a drunken stupor.

Sure enough, speak of the devil, and he appears.

Hagrid's hut was nearby, and Radagan sensed Zikomo's presence and ran out of the hut.

"Hahaha! Brother-in-law! You've emerged from seclusion! Congratulations on your increased strength!"

Hagrid followed closely behind and saw the dramatically changed Zicomo.

"Oh! Zicomo, you've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."

Zicomo greeted them with a smile.

"Long time no see, brother-in-law, and Hagrid too."

“Long time no see, welcome back.” Rataen glanced at the two women beside Zikomo and then said, “It’s good that you’re back, we won’t bother you any longer.”

After saying that, he pulled Hagrid away from there.

Zicomo shook his head with a smile. It seemed that his brother-in-law had become incredibly adept at social skills since arriving at Hogwarts.

And so, Zicomo and the two women spent a leisurely afternoon.

That evening, in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, Zicomo's arrival caused another wave of commotion.

Zicomo's friends were all crowding around him, including Penelope and Luna from Ravenclaw.

Even Draco, who was sitting in Slytherin, seemed tempted to come closer.

Zicomo greeted his friends, then quickly packed a dinner and left.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be surrounded by those eager girls.

That evening, Zicomo asked Lani to cut his hair short.

That way, at least he won't attract the attention of male voices anymore.

After getting his haircut, Zicomo first went to Lockhart and explained to him the matter of joining the board of trustees.

He then went to Snape's office, having not yet greeted Snape since his return.

Upon seeing Zicomo enter, Snape made a rare sarcastic remark.

"Did you get plastic surgery?"

Zicomo rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Have you ever seen anyone who gets plastic surgery and looks this good? This is just a side effect of getting stronger."

Snape had nothing to say about this; indeed, even plastic surgery couldn't make someone as good-looking as Zicomo.

Also, this is the first time he's ever heard of becoming stronger while also becoming more handsome. Could you give him one too?

"So, how much stronger have you become?" Snape was very curious about this question.

While he appeared to have slightly lost his duel with Zicomo, he actually had many trump cards up his sleeve that he hadn't yet used.

Of course, he also knew that Zicomo must have some trump cards up his sleeve, so he guessed that Zicomo's level at that time should be about the same as his.

This is already outrageous enough for a thirteen-year-old wizard.

Now Zicomo tells Snape that he has become stronger again.

Moreover, judging from his changes, he seems to have become much stronger.

This was something Snape couldn't understand. Merlin wasn't this strong at Zicomo's age, was he?

"Hmm, how should I put it? I haven't tested it yet, but I think it's about the same level as Lani's?"

Zicomo has not yet mastered the vast energy within his body, and is certainly less adept at using it than Lani.

However, his overall strength is slightly better than Lani's, so it's not wrong to say that he's about the same as Lani now.

He had already planned to go back and consult Lani about the level of the divine being.

It would be best to have a match to test his current strength.

However, Zicomo had no idea how much his words shocked Snape.

He had felt Lani's aura before; it was as if the suppression came from a level of life itself, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

Now you're telling him that Zicomo has become like that too?!

So this level of strength is actually standard for your family?

Your fiancée is like this, and you yourself are like this! How are the other wizards supposed to compete?

So the East is such a terrifying place?

It took Snape a while to calm down, and for a moment he didn't know what to say next.

In the end, it was Zicomo who started the conversation first.

"By the way, has anything major happened recently?"

Snape was about to say no when he suddenly remembered something. He said, "Nothing serious, but there's something rather strange. That old bee Dumbledore suddenly asked me a while ago if I was interested in becoming the headmaster."

"Huh? He doesn't want to do it anymore?" Zicomo asked curiously.

Snape also found it strange. Although Zicomo had mentioned this idea before, he did not expect Dumbledore to ask him this question suddenly.

"I don't know either. But from what he said, it seems like he's going to look for something, so he needs someone to stay at Hogwarts."

Zicomo understood when Snape said that.

Dumbledore most likely knew about Voldemort's Horcruxes and wanted to find and destroy them.

Seeing Zicomo's look of sudden realization, Snape knew that Zicomo must know something.

He asked directly, "So you know what the reason is?"

Zicomo didn't hide anything and told everyone about the Horcruxes.

In conclusion, he said, "Dumbledore must have noticed the recent changes in your strength, which is why he wanted you to be in charge of Hogwarts."

Snape felt a little annoyed after hearing this, not at Zicomo, but at Dumbledore.

Why didn't you even tell him about something as important as Horcruxes? Are you afraid he'll betray you?

"Hmph, he's still so suspicious," Snape scoffed.

Zicomo waved his hand dismissively and said, "You have to understand, an elderly person who has been lonely for a long time tends to overthink things. Besides, isn't this a good thing for you?"

Snape thought about it and realized it was true.

He had been struggling to get a position in Defense Against the Dark Arts before, but now he's become the headmaster in one fell swoop.

Although he may only be an agent, it doesn't matter. Once he wins over a group of board members, becoming a full-fledged member will be a piece of cake.

After making his decision, he went to Dumbledore and agreed to take charge of Hogwarts.

…………

After saying goodbye to Snape, Zicomo returned to the "Zen Garden".

He approached Lani and proposed testing his strength, to which Lani naturally did not object.

"But where should we go to test it?"

When gods and humans clash, the consequences can range from destroying cities and fortresses to altering the entire landscape.

Just look at Galid to see this.

Marlenia and Rataen fought in Galid, which eventually led to a crimson corruption that eroded the entire Galid region.

"Have you forgotten? We can go to the border area."

Lani suddenly realized that ever since Zicomo brought her into this world, her true form had never returned to the borderlands.

She had almost forgotten that there was an option to enter the border area in her true form.

"Let's go."

Zicomo took Lani's hand, a thought flashing through his mind, and decided to enter the border area.

At this point, the system made its presence known.

[The host's clone has been detected as having disappeared. Should the real body enter the border area?]

"Yes!"

Zicomo was speechless. If he didn't enter with his real body, could he possibly create another clone?

Upon arriving at the border, looking at the surrounding environment, Zicomo recalled the location where he logged off before going into seclusion.

This is the Church of Ellie, the place where he and Lani first met.

He was here because he saw a sword monument on his way to the royal city of Rodel.

This sword monument stands right between the Volcano Palace and the royal city of Rodel.

It read: "In the first Battle of Rhodes, the monarchical coalition was defeated due to internal divisions, and there are clues of a bloody conspiracy behind it."

Although Zicomo did not know who erected the sword monument here, he learned a very crucial piece of information.
