The second he was about to get the wand, a gust of wind blew up his wand, blowing it away nearly ten meters away.

This time, old Tom made no attempt to chase his wand.

Because his legs were trembling unconsciously, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

A feeling that was very familiar to old Tom came from behind him.

Old Tom was pale, and it wasn't the wind that blew his wand away.

But...

Old Tom raised his head in shock and looked at Eric's position.

Before he was ready, the next moment, a ferocious aura erupted from Eric!

Pure magical pressure spurted out from Eric's body unreservedly.

The magic coercion is like a wave, continuous, with Eric as the center point, releasing a strong shock wave outward.

For a moment, all the sounds at the scene seemed to be silent, only the subconscious screams and deafening shocks remained.

The bricks on the ground were lifted, and the ghost books still flying in the air were shot down one after another.

In an instant, the tyrannical magic pressure swept through an area of ​​more than ten meters around Lihen Bookstore.

The door of Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore was knocked to the ground by violent blows, and almost all the windows of several surrounding shops disappeared together.

Old Tom was overturned to the ground as early as the first moment when the coercion broke out.

Not only him, but everyone present was unprepared for this except Eric, and they were no better than old Tom.

Old Tom lay on the ground with his eyes closed tightly, feeling like his heart was about to jump out.

The magic shock this time was completely different from what he experienced in the Leaky Cauldron just now.

Old Tom couldn't tell if he should be thankful Eric hadn't unleashed that energy at the Leaky Cauldron just now.

His thinking is completely confused now, his mouth is wide open, there are many things he wants to say, but he can't say a word.

I don't know how long it took before Old Tom, who was lying on the ground, was able to open his eyes and look at the only boy standing at the door of Flourish Blossoms Bookstore.

The storm did not know when it had subsided.

Eric still had a gentle smile on his face, looking at Old Tom, his lips moved slightly, as if he was saying something.

It took a long time before the voice faintly reached Old Tom's ears.

"...Sorry, I accidentally used too much force."

Eric, who closed his spiritual stance and quietly felt the return of color, said with a smile.

Chapter 8 The Guardian Spell

What is he saying?

Too hard?

If it wasn't for his rationality, Old Tom was really afraid that he would have a nervous breakdown at this moment.

With a thin body and immature face, Eric stood there, looking no different from ordinary little wizards who hadn't entered school.

In fact, this is also true. Old Tom knows very well about Eric's situation.

Half a day ago, Eric was able to enter Diagon Alley through his guidance.

Eric didn't even have his own wand.

Nor does any magic.

All he has is his own innate magic power.

It's just, its own magic power.

Looking at the trembling ghost books scattered all over the floor, and Eric standing among them, the cloudless and breezy Eric, Old Tom and the wizards around were all shocked and speechless.

The scene that was chaotic just now suddenly became like this.

No one could have imagined that things would end up this way.

Facing the raging ghost books, no matter whether it is the staff of Lihen Bookstore or the adult wizards passing by, there is nothing they can do.

As a result, a child who appeared suddenly, simply exuding his own magic power, made the ghost books completely quiet.

There were also some well-informed wizards at the scene. After realizing what happened, they looked at Eric with a little fear involuntarily.

The most shocking thing is not so much the impact of Eric's magical explosion, but rather the fact that Eric can completely control his magic power.

You must know that most of the young wizards before entering school, especially those from Muggle families, have no way to control their own magic power.

Ordinary little preschool wizards are very passive in the process of using their own magic power, and only under certain circumstances will the magic power leak.

And this often becomes the standard for verifying whether a young wizard is a squib.

For example, Harry Potter could talk to snake creatures because of Parseltongue before entering school.

This is the most direct manifestation of magical talent.

The consequences of this passive release of magic power are extremely uncontrollable.

Children are emotionally unstable, and for wizards, emotions happen to be an important part of unleashing magic.

This can easily lead to bad things happening.

If every little wizard is allowed to act freely and without restraint, there will inevitably be a risk of exposure in the wizarding world.

This is absolutely not what the Ministry of Magic wants to see.

This is why all wizards need to enter the magic school to study.

But looking at the calm expression on Eric's face now, there is no sign of passiveness or panic.

He has a plan in mind.

It is also because of this that it is even more terrifying.

"Merlin..."

"It's unbelievable..."

"Who is this kid!? Who the hell? Who knows him?"

"...Recovery as before!"

Eric's magic burst made Diagon Alley quiet for a moment, and then the scene immediately became noisy.

Hearing the sound of explosions, more and more people began to gather around.

The surprised yells of the wizards mixed with the sounds of using various spells to repair the places damaged by Eric after reacting in time, making it difficult to hear what the people on the other side were saying.

It's just that without exception, everyone's eyes are focused on Eric.

Surprised, shocked, curious...

All kinds of eyes took turns to look at Eric.

It's just that no one has dared to approach Eric yet.

This young man who looked very gentle was still standing motionless at the entrance of Lihen Bookstore.

Eric completely ignored the eyes of the people around him at this time.

He is busy receiving rewards from the system.

[Ding, mission completed]

[Congratulations to the host, please accept the task reward, choose any spell, and raise its proficiency to intermediate level. 】

In Eric's vision, a virtual panel immediately appeared.

On the panel, various magic spells are listed in great detail.

Each enchantment is presented as an icon with a short introductory text.

As soon as Eric thought about it, the list quickly scrolled with his thoughts.

Disarming Curse, Repelling Curse, Restoration Curse...

All kinds of strange spells were displayed in front of Eric.

Ok?

Eric's eyes froze suddenly. In the spell list, he found a special icon with a distorted green light on it. Just looking at it seemed to make people feel evil.

[Avada Kedavra—a death curse, one of the unforgivable curses, a curse that can kill all creatures as long as it hits, there is no cure. 】

Eric raised his mouth.

He really didn't expect that the rewards given by the system would include the Unforgivable Curse.

To some extent, Avada Kedavra can also be called the strongest spell.

Perhaps feeling Eric's attention, the system said again:

[Remind the host that this reward only increases the proficiency in casting specific spells, not directly increases the power of the spell.The specific effect of the spell still depends on the host's own magic power and the state when casting the spell. 】

The underlying meaning of the system was clear to Eric.

Faced with a vast sea of ​​spells, he could of course choose arbitrarily, even if he chose the Unforgivable Curse, which is currently banned by the Ministry of Magic, there would be no problem.

But the effect when releasing the spell is not guaranteed.

In other words, there is no after-sales service for this reward function given by the system.

The system only gives rewards, but no matter what Eric uses it for, he is not responsible for the consequences.

If Eric cast the Death Curse at will and was thrown into Azkaban, it would be Eric's own death, which has nothing to do with the system.

"Hehe, you are worrying too much about the system."

Before the system finished speaking, Eric's gaze stayed on the Avada Kedavra for a short while before moving away.

It never occurred to him to choose the Unforgivable Curse in the first place.

Eric has no resistance to using the Unforgivable Curse, it's just that the time is not yet ripe.

In his view, the spell is just a tool, and whether it is evil depends on the person who uses it, not the spell itself.
