American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 102 Dumbledore, you bastard, you tricked me?

Professor Flitwick carefully placed the book on the table, then took out his wand and began to test it step by step. Sure enough, the instant he infused it with magic, the book, which contained countless spells, instantly split into a spine and countless pages.

Then the pages transformed into blades, hurtling towards the professor.

Fortunately, Professor Flitwick easily blocked the blades, and his smile grew even wider.

"Just based on what just happened, your book is good enough to be placed in the restricted section," Professor Flitwick exclaimed happily. Then, he took out a small piece of parchment, and with a gentle wave, the parchment instantly transformed into a huge sack, the opening of which generated a tremendous suction force, drawing all the blades inside.

It looks a bit like the gourd in Jin Yin Tong Zi's hand...

This is Professor Flitwick's signature dueling technique—the Reincarnation spell. While many wizards can cast Reincarnation spells, very few can do so with the same ease as Professor Flitwick.

Professor Flitwick and Rune chatted for a while, from their views on magic to their recent experiences. Rune proposed that starch is essentially composed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms, and that air also contains these atoms in considerable quantities. Therefore, in principle, spells or transfiguration could actually conjure food.

These remarks greatly shocked Professor Flitwick. For a wizard, being able to blend in with Muggles while dressed in relatively normal clothes was already considered a sign of profound knowledge in Muggle studies. As for delving into Muggle science? Sorry, that was pure fantasy.

Therefore, the Slytherin students did not believe that any Muggles could land on the moon.

Upon hearing Rune's words, the short professor's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open to its limit, and his small hands gripped his robe tightly. A long, long time passed—so long that Rune thought Flitwick's jaw had turned white—before he suddenly shouted, "You! Are you sure? Do you know you're trying to overturn Gamp's fundamental laws of transformation?"

"I'm certainly sure, many Muggles know this kind of knowledge, and it's been verified by them," Rune nodded. Although he was still thinking about how a mage in a certain game already had a mature food-creating spell, which could even restore health by eating it—something rather impolite—he continued, "However, I'm too busy right now to have any time to research this kind of spell."

"Your idea alone is enough to earn you another Merlin Medal." Flitwick shook his head. "Leave it to me. I'll go and work with Dumbledore to figure it out. Maybe we can really develop a groundbreaking spell."

The young professor looked at Rune with satisfaction: "It seems you're not just killing, but truly understanding Muggles. I'm proud of you, Rune."

He winked at Rune: "I have a feeling you might actually be able to improve relations between wizards and Muggles. I believe you!"

Then, Rune continued his conversation with the professor about Hogwarts. He knew that after Rune left Hogwarts, some Slytherin students had left Slytherin to join him, but they had all been persuaded to return. At the time, many students lived in constant fear, afraid that their families were indeed involved in wizarding human trafficking.

Rune didn't make things difficult for Hogwarts. The students who had already participated in human trafficking were killed during the holidays, while those who hadn't participated or were unaware of it were spared by Rune out of consideration for their classmates. However, in addition to confiscating the illegal proceeds from their homes, they also had to come up with a sum of money to compensate the victims.

Meanwhile, calls for curriculum reform emerged at Hogwarts. Ever since learning that Muggles had invented weapons effective against wizards, Hogwarts' public owl had been constantly on the move. Professor Flitwick was forced to team up with Professor Snape and others to seek help from the Magical Congress of America for wizards skilled in firearms.

However, the Magical Congress is also short-staffed. The United States is much larger than the United Kingdom, and the laws vary from state to state. Unfortunately, the number of wizards in the United States isn't much greater than in the United Kingdom, so the manpower shortage is far more severe than most wizards imagine.

"So, we can only start by forming a club to familiarize ourselves with Muggle weapons and try to find a way to counter that magnetic field generator." Professor Flitwick rubbed his forehead. "Sigh, but there are too many students, so we professors all think it would be better to just offer a dedicated course, we just need a teacher—."

Rune sighed.

That old fox Dumbledore deliberately tricked me! I knew Dumbledore wouldn't let his students know about Muggle weapons; it turns out it all boils down to a lack of manpower. But was it really necessary to deliberately provoke me?

"We'll have a teacher soon," Rune said helplessly.

"real?"

"Of course it's true!" Rune assured him, his face full of black lines, adding that the teacher was none other than his trusted confidant.

Soon, Rune left the Dean's office under Professor Flitwick's dismissive attitude. Before leaving, he made a point of meeting Misha and instructed her to regularly report on what was happening at Hogwarts and to signal him directly if any danger arose.

He increasingly felt that he should learn from the noseless man and curse his own name, so that it would be easier for him to save people.

Then, amidst the complex gazes of the surrounding students, Rune headed to Hogsmeade Village and used Apparition to return to the familiar island, only this time without a woman by his side.

"I'm still not used to it," Rune remarked, before continuing to practice his spells.

Ancient magic is not a high priority at present. This type of magic, which relies on runes, is slow to activate, consumes a lot of energy, and is difficult to control. Of course, the latter two are not necessarily drawbacks for runes, but the slow activation means that this type of magic can almost only be used to clear out mobs.

However, it wasn't all for nothing. With ancient magic at his disposal, the Parademons of Darkseid and the Trench creatures of the deep sea would have a much harder time posing a threat to him due to their sheer numbers. Moreover, Rune didn't need to study ancient magic as diligently as he would modern spells, which freed up time for him to hone his flight speed, master magical impact, and learn alchemy and other skills.

Unbeknownst to Rune, after confirming that the leader had left Hogwarts, Misha secretly took out a small stack of photos from a bag. Among them were photos of Rune, some of whom looked quite young, clearly having just enrolled, their faces still bearing the indelible look of amazement and joy.

"Ahhhhhh??" Misha let out a joyful scream, then rubbed her face hard against the photo of someone repeating a certain action.

It can only be said that worship is the furthest distance from understanding.
