The ones that weren't discovered were either top-tier wonders like the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard, or the strength of one side was simply too weak. In the latter case, it couldn't really be called a battle; it was just one-sided beatings. If you couldn't even see anything, what kind of war was it?
Therefore, even though the enemy has not yet been seen, war preparations will be carried out first and will continue until the start of the battle. This period could be as short as one or two years or as long as five or ten years.
This is also why Sun Wukong has nothing to do. As one of the strongest vanguard officers in Heaven, he must maintain a good condition. Once the war begins, there will be no time for him to adjust his condition.
"Wait a moment, I'll go get someone and ask them something." After bringing Leona to the location, Sun Wukong gave her this instruction and then disappeared.
Just as Heimerdinger finished dealing with his work, Sun Wukong appeared right beside him.
"Hey Blackie, where's the mage Zilean? I brought Leona with me." As Sun Wukong spoke, his eyes were still looking around. There were many things here that he had never seen before, which made him quite curious.
“First of all, my surname isn’t Heimerdinger.” Heimerdinger turned around and said with a hint of helplessness. His personality was already considered quite unconventional in the Clock Tower, but compared to Sun Wukong, he was nothing. “Secondly, something happened to Zilean, and what’s wrong with Leona?”
"No, but I'm thinking we should bring the person over to take a look." Sun Wukong curiously tossed a hand grenade in his hand.
With a bang, the grenade suddenly exploded, and the sudden explosion pulled Sun Wukong forward a few centimeters, with the monkey hair on his body pointing straight towards the gravitational point.
Heimerdinger waved his hand, and the gravity point was instantly erased. "Don't mess with the things in my lab. Many of them are experimental products and are very unstable."
Sun Wukong shrugged, not really caring, but he put his hands behind his back and didn't move around anymore.
“Everyone’s too busy to take care of her right now… How about this, there are a few schools on Earth, let her go there and study for a while,” Heimerdinger said. “If she doesn’t want to, she can go to the temporary research institute, Jess and the others are always there.”
"A temporary research institute? What kind of temporary institute is this long?" Sun Wukong complained, then scratched his head. "Besides, it's not appropriate for her to hang out with some little brats."
Sun Wukong didn't mean anything by it, but Leona's strength was undeniable. If she were to get into a fight with those students who probably weren't even professional players, the students would likely be reduced to ashes.
Leona has fought the Three-Legged Golden Crow since birth, and those students are not as physically robust as the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
“Just go ask her.” Heimerdinger said, reaching behind his back and pulling out a rather strange bracelet. “If you’re willing to go, give this to her. As long as she doesn’t unleash her legendary domain, limiting its destructive power shouldn’t be a problem.”
"Alright." Sun Wukong took the bracelet and disappeared from the laboratory in the blink of an eye.
Heimerdinger shook his head. This monkey's escape techniques were getting stronger and stronger. It seemed that the defensive array in the laboratory needed to be strengthened in a targeted manner.
Leona stayed obediently on the clock tower platform, her eyes fixed on all the novel things around her, not wanting to blink. In fact, many of the things here were described in the inherited memories, but the descriptions in the memories were still a little different from the actual things.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Sun Wukong gently patted Leona's shoulder.
Leona was startled and almost threw her Zenith Blade. This action confirmed to Goku that the limiter Heimerdinger gave her was indeed very necessary. Otherwise, if Leona had been slow to react on Earth and had thrown the attack, she would have been doomed.
"Senior Sun, it's you." Leona patted her chest, then looked curiously behind Sun Wukong, but there was nothing there. "Where is Master Zilean?"
“Master Kiran is busy and cannot meet with you. The question now is, are you willing to go to a school on Earth?” Sun Wukong asked bluntly.
"Okay, okay." Leona said happily, like a child going to kindergarten for the first time, still looking forward to school.
"Alright, take this with you." Sun Wukong tossed out the bracelet.
Leona stretched out her hands to catch it, but just as the bracelet fell, it suddenly cracked and then turned into two streams of light that solidified on Leona's left and right wrists.
The moment the bracelet reappeared, Leona felt the energy activity in her body drop instantly, and at the same time, the armor she wore, made entirely of energy, flickered as if it were about to disappear.
This feeling of being suppressed was a novel experience for Leona, so she decided to try it out in front of Sun Wukong to see how effective the bracelet really was.
Leona raised her hand slightly, summoning the Golden Shield. The shield did appear as usual, but instead of in her hand, it appeared directly above her head, slamming her to the ground with a thud.
"So heavy, so heavy, so heavy!" Leona pounded the ground with her fists, shouting repeatedly. The weight of the Golden Shield itself was directly manifested after Leona's energy was suppressed. Leona really couldn't carry this thing with her physical strength alone.
Sun Wukong almost laughed as he watched. He reached out and lifted the shield. Hmm, it was indeed quite heavy; the Golden Cudgel weighed about the same.
Leona got up and dusted herself off. Her earlier actions had left her a little disheveled, and her face scrunched up again.
Ugh, Leona strained with all her might, trying to pry open the bracelet. The legendary domain around her appeared and disappeared intermittently, even more unreliable than the domain Karma displayed when she was impersonating Loki. Naturally, this kind of power, which had no stability whatsoever, could not unravel Heimerdinger's invention.
After holding her breath for a while, Leona lowered her hands and gave up; she was a little hungry.
"Alright, it looks like it's working well. I'll take you to Earth now." Sun Wukong flicked his finger on the Golden Shield, and the front of the shield scattered into particles and re-entered Leona's body.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Wukong grabbed Leona and summoned the Flying Nimbus again, heading towards Earth along the fast route.
Heimerdinger, inside the lab, sensed the activation and distance of the bracelet and immediately sent out several emails he had written.
Heimerdinger certainly couldn't actually let Leona go to several schools on Earth to be a student. Leona had no objection, but Heimerdinger was worried that Leona would dampen the students' enthusiasm for learning. What the hell, suddenly a student that even the teachers couldn't handle was parachuted in.
In front of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Kingdom of John, Gawain squatted on the ground, holding a letter from Heimerdinger to King Arthur - Artoria.
Gawain, as Hogwarts' close combat instructor, came to pick up the new teacher. Normally, when a professional of Leona's caliber comes, the headmaster should be the one to receive her, but Dumbledore is not at Hogwarts at the moment.
To be precise, Dumbledore never appeared after the founding of Hogwarts. As the founder of modern spells in this world, Dumbledore was troubled by the lack of teachers. To this end, he went to other worlds to find teachers, following his own special ability to become a legend, and has not returned to this day.
"Why hasn't the teacher arrived yet?" Gao Wen was getting a little impatient. He was also worried about something else: the letter hadn't mentioned what kind of classes the teacher would teach. Gao Wen's only hope was that this time it wouldn't be another melee classmate.
There are already enough knights at Hogwarts. What's the point of having half the teachers be knights at a magic school?
However, there was nothing that could be done about it, since King Arthur had the most knights under his command, and the only ones who could provide support to Hogwarts were the knight teachers.
As Gao Wen was lost in thought, a shooting star streaked across the sky and then crashed down right next to the freshman enrollment point.
Daniel, who was welcoming the new students as a second-year student, was startled by the commotion, but he still had to reassure these last few students as an upperclassman.
"Don't panic. This is probably just a teacher testing some magic. There's no danger. Hogwarts has very strong defensive magic. Even if you brought in an artillery regiment to bombard it for hours, it wouldn't cause any damage," Daniel said loudly, taking a deep breath.
To help newcomers better understand, the comparison will be made with modern military weapons.
Just then, Daniel spotted a girl in armor on the side of the crowd, an outfit rarely seen among the freshmen.
“Hey, hello, are you also a freshman this year?” Daniel asked.
Leona was still a little dazed, after all, she had just fallen from such a height. Hearing Daniel's words, she nodded.
"Alright, please join the line. I'll lead you into the school," Daniel said, waving to Leona.
After confirming that no one was in sight, Daniel turned around, preparing to lead the new students directly into the main gate. Students who were late for other reasons would be handled by the teachers, and it was no longer his concern.
Hogwarts originally planned to build a lake along the way to the school, but this idea was later rejected because it would only make enrollment more complicated and would not have any benefits. It would also make Hogwarts seem old-fashioned, since it's the modern age and people are still building "moats".
This is so troublesome... I'm so tired...
Daniel stood with his back turned, looking exhausted. Interacting with people was his weakest skill, which was why the teacher assigned him part of the work of welcoming new students, in order to train his interpersonal skills.
"Hey~" Leona suddenly jumped next to Daniel, startling him.
"Oh, classmate, is there something you need?" Daniel forced himself to appear calm and composed, as a senior student should set a good example for the freshmen.
"Senior, can I ask you something?" Leona asked politely. When Sun Wukong brought her here, he briefly told her about the situation of several schools on Earth, which were all information that Sun Wukong had heard, some true and some false.
“Ask away, and I’ll tell you anything I know,” Daniel nodded.
"Um... Sun... someone told me some things before I came here." Leona almost blurted out Sun Wukong.
"What's going on?" Daniel was still a little curious. Normally, many things at school are kept secret, and because of the disastrous exchange, everyone was too embarrassed to go home for the holidays.
"Just use Divine Strike as a basic attack, Forbidden Forest as a tourist attraction, and the Three Deadly Curses at will. Azkaban's reserve army," Leona said, her hands behind her back, enunciating each word clearly.
With a thud, Daniel's face turned bright red. "Slander! This is slander! It's completely untrue!"
Leona blinked, waiting for Daniel to continue.
"Divine Sharpness...and Heart-Piercing Bone-Splitting...well, those are all spells. How can learning spells be related to attacking? Besides, the school has very strict regulations. The first lesson for freshmen is learning those regulations, and then they must pass an exam before they can learn other courses," Daniel explained, waving his hand.
"Besides, who still learns those attack spells these days?" Daniel said, suddenly sounding a bit dejected.
"Why do you say that?" Leona asked curiously.
"It's all because of the exchange event. Have you ever seen a martial monk with a piercing, bone-scraping curse jump up and send you flying with a single blow? I have." Daniel was referring to Chen Xiaohu from Huaxia School. Speaking of this person, he felt very aggrieved. Although he wasn't the one who fought Chen Xiaohu in the arena, it was still very upsetting to see his outstanding student get hit by a whole set of attack spells without even dodging or blocking, his defense not even broken, and he was even sent flying.
“So now everyone prefers to learn some non-offensive spells first,” Daniel continued to explain. “Also, who dares to go into the Forbidden Forest? If Professor Gawain catches you, you’re in trouble. Besides, there’s nothing fun in there; it’s just a place to cultivate some special plants.”
Leona nodded, then glanced at Daniel's school uniform—or rather, at the badger emblem on it. "Senior, are you from Hufflepuff?"
Daniel seemed to have flipped a switch and suddenly became enthusiastic. "Yeah, you want to come to our Badger House? We have the best dining hall in the whole school, the lounge is always stocked with bubble tea, cookies and lobster pie, we even have a food tasting event every Friday, and we always rank among the top at the dance. Most importantly, our library has a whole set of culinary magic spells pointing to food from all over the world, and no other college library has as many as ours."
Leona's mouth started watering as she listened; Daniel's words sounded so tempting.
Chapter 308 Slytherin First Master - Cassandra
Leona was almost tempted to go to Hufflepuff on the spot by Daniel's words, but before she could finish, she suddenly remembered something. "Um...senpai, I heard that the Sorting Hat is used for house selection, right? Now we can choose our own houses?"
“Of course.” Daniel seemed to have guessed that Leona would ask this question. This question was quite common among the freshmen this year, all due to the spread of false information. “What era are we living in? Choosing a college should be based on the student’s preferences. Anyway, the things you learn are all the same. It’s not like you’re choosing a major and having to consider your talent or anything. Besides, if things don’t work out later, you can apply to transfer to another college.”
Leona nodded as if she understood. To put it simply, the Sorting Hat uses simple conversations and predictive spells to test a student's inclinations. However, it can't ultimately withstand the influence of a student's personal interests and personality. Besides, people change. Putting someone who doesn't like to eat or needs to control their diet in the Houndhouse would be quite cruel.
While Leona and Daniel were chatting, the new students had mostly entered the main conference room. This year, because there were students from the previous year, the opening ceremony was more complicated than the previous one. At least the spell battle performance was not present in the previous year.
To be realistic, a large part of the reason people come to Hogwarts is because of the word "curse." In the outside world, the mystical aspect is still like a beautiful woman from a Jiangnan water town—still holding a pipa and half-concealing her face. What is widely known is mainly individual strength.
The awe-inspiring and beautiful image of King Arthur - Artoria crossing the sky with a single sword still lingers in the memories of many, unforgettable for a long time.
Therefore, giving freshmen a performance in advance can significantly boost their motivation to learn, and also let them see how outstanding senior students understand combat. In addition, this action can also boost the confidence of the previous students.
Showing off is a basic need.
This time, the performance for the new students was given by Cassandra, the second-year Slytherin Head of House. Normally, this kind of thing wouldn't fall to this top student at first; the next-highest grade would be chosen first, because the top student needs to build some kind of confidence.
However, this time was different. The last exchange meeting was a huge blow to Cassandra. She had hoped to make a name for herself and win a prize, but in the end, she didn't even get a third prize. Fortunately, Gawain and the others did a good job of psychological work and didn't leave any psychological trauma on Cassandra, otherwise she would have suffered a great loss.
Looking at the expectant eyes below, Cassandra's expression remained as cold as ever, but she was quite happy inside. She was still a child at that age, and even if she was cold and proud, she would still have some fluctuations in this situation.
"Fluorescent flash!"
Cassandra waved her wand, and a ring of flashing "light bulbs" immediately appeared around her, instantly enlivening the atmosphere.
The dazzling lights shone on the faces of the newborns, revealing their expressions of amazement. These days, people are amazed by a beautiful fireworks display, let alone this enchanted performance that, under Cassandra's control, continuously draws pictures around them.
"Wow~ Senior is so cool! The clothes she's wearing look like Slytherin clothes. I think I'd be a good fit for Slytherin."
"You've missed your chance. I'm taking the Slytherin spot."
Just as a voice rang out from the crowd, Daniel glanced at Leona. He was afraid that the freshman he had managed to persuade would suddenly change his mind. These days, anyone who could wear full armor must have some kind of family background. Even if they didn't, their physical strength would definitely earn them a lot of credits for Hufflepuff among the freshmen.
Fortunately, Leona's uninterested expression relieved Daniel.
On stage, Cassandra waved her wand, the glow following her body like a well-trained army.
Cassandra lifted her skirt, lowered her wand slightly, and twirled in place. The fluorescent lights swirled around her in perfect harmony, making her look like a dancer with her own built-in light effects.
Then, the fluorescent light slowly moved down, faded, and disappeared from the stage.
The appetizers are over; now Cassandra is going to show off her real skills.
To become the top student in the highly competitive Slytherin and a participant in the official tournaments, one must possess exceptional skills.
"Lightning Strike Spell!"
Cassandra gently pressed the top of her wand with her right index finger, then swept it downwards. Whoosh! A bolt of blue lightning fell directly from the roof and struck the stage with a crack, instantly splitting the stage open with a large rift.
