Hogwarts: I, Tom, am not the Dark Lord

This man is simply the Dark Lord!

No, the Dark Lord is one of their own. Tom is even scarier than the Dark Lord!

"Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

Putting away his wand, Tom completely let himself go: "We are Slytherins, and we are the winners! As long as any of you can defeat me, no matter what means, you will be the winner, and you can retaliate a thousandfold."

If the Sorting Hat knew that Tom had taken on the role of a Snake House student so quickly, it would definitely brag about its vision for a whole month.

"But if you fail, you will also have to bear the corresponding price. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The three Shabinis responded loudly, fearing that they would be punished again for not being alert enough.

They buried their hatred deep in their hearts.

As long as Tom is defeated, he can take revenge.

They remembered this grudge!

Chapter 17: The Horrifying Effects of Magic, Will, Emotion, and the Transcendent State

After giving his ignorant roommate a good beating, Tom finally vented a lot of his depressed emotions.

He ordered the three of them to wash up and go to bed as quickly as possible, and only entered the study space after the dormitory was quiet.

"What took you so long?"

After the dinner, Tom closed the study space, and Andros naturally didn't know what happened next.

When Tom sighed and explained the whole thing, Andros laughed out loud.

"It seems that reality is even more magical than what is described in books. Pureblood? What does bloodline mean in the face of strength?"

"Tom, you did well today. You have to be decisive when it's time to strike. Too light a blow won't teach you a lesson or deter you, and too heavy a blow might alert the teacher. This is just right."

"not that simple."

Tom shook his head slightly. "This is just the beginning. Just wait and see. There will be more troubles later."

The boy sighed: "I just want to study hard, why do you have to make me come to Slytherin?"

Andros sneered, "Boy, I didn't want to tell you before because I respected your choice, but after reading so much information about Hogwarts, I realized that Slytherin is the most suitable house for you."

???

"Why?" Tom asked puzzled.

Andros crossed his arms and explained seriously, "Knowledge is very important to wizards, but throughout history, including after my death, I can guarantee that no wizard has ever become the strongest by simply accumulating knowledge."

As he spoke, he pointed to his brain and said, "Do you know what is the most important thing for a wizard?"

Tom answered without hesitation: "Magic and will, when combined, guided by magic spells, can change reality."

This time it was Andros' turn to shake his head. "You missed one more thing, emotion."

Tom was puzzled: "Isn't will just emotion?"

This most basic theory has been mentioned in more than one book, but no book has ever distinguished between will and emotion.

Andros smiled, and the wand he rarely used appeared in his hand again, raised above his head.

"Expecto Patronum!"

The giant guardian god appeared with a strong sense of oppression. Andros spoke, and the giant guardian god also spoke, and the voices resonated.

"Powerful magic, strong will, and abundant emotions."

"Magic power is the root of everything and the foundation of your spells. Willpower influences the success rate of casting spells. A more determined intention can effectively guide the magic power to complete the transformation. And emotions... determine the upper limit of a spell!"

"Remember, Tom, magic is subjective. Even though the mind is infinite, it must have something to rely on. This support is emotion."

“Qualifications are important, but people with strong emotions can often break through their own limits and reach incredible heights.”

"The trouble these Slytherin people have caused you is a test, allowing you to find the perfect balance between your will and emotions. Cherish this opportunity."

Andros's voice was so deafening that Tom froze in his tracks.

Because what Andros said was both shallow and profound. The shallowness of his words meant that Tom could understand them, but the profundity touched upon the essence of magic, which was difficult to understand, absorb, and transform into his own understanding.

Tom entered the extraordinary state for the first time to absorb and digest Andros's teachings.

Ten minutes passed silently, and the boy's lifeless eyes gradually recovered. There was an indescribable meaning in his body, and his eyes became more lively.

He also imitated Andros and raised his wand:

"Expecto Patronum!"

Silver-white mist gushed out and gradually took shape into a human form as his thoughts progressed. However, compared to Andros's patronus with clear features and a huge body, Tom's patronus could only barely make out the outline of a human.

Its size is not much bigger than his own.

But even so, Andros was particularly surprised.

As early as the third day of learning the Patronus Charm, Tom had already reached the level of condensing a physical Patronus, but was broken up by Andros himself.

The reason is that once the form of the guardian god is fixed, it will take a lot of effort to change the form and become a special guardian god like him.

Andros also went through a lot of hardships to succeed in the past, so he naturally would not let Tom go through the same detour as him.

The most difficult step is to preliminarily determine the form of the guardian spirit.

This time, Andros just wanted Tom to adjust his mindset and stop thinking about studying all the time, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected gain.

[Teacher 'Andros''s approval rating for the host has reached 50%. Rewards are being drawn...drawn.]

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the talent 'Absolute Justice']

[Absolute Justice: The host's non-black magic attack spells gain increased power, and the degree of increase increases with the host's magic power growth.]

[The first private teacher to reach 50% approval will unlock the "Practice" feature.]

[Physical Practice: The teacher can use the host's body to cast magic, improving teaching efficiency. The duration is limited to five minutes. For every point of recognition increase, the duration is extended by ten seconds. The cooldown period is 24 hours. (The host can cancel this state at any time and regain control of the body.)]

As soon as the reward arrived, Tom's patronus visibly expanded and grew to a height of two meters.

Andros didn't know that Tom could not only receive his teachings, but also suck his blood... no, he could use his talent. He was still lamenting that Tom's talent was much stronger than he judged, and that he had misjudged him.

After savoring the wonderful feeling of summoning the humanoid guardian, Tom stopped outputting magic power.

Although the extraordinary mode had been exited, there were still some wonderful inspirations left. He did not dare to waste them and began to ask Andros about the new questions that had just emerged.

Even elite Aurors cannot answer these questions. Most Aurors are just a group of people who are good at using "techniques", which does not mean that they can easily come up with theories.

And it was nothing to Andros.

In their era, the development of magic had not yet taken shape. If one wanted to reach a certain level of magic, one had to thoroughly understand all the theoretical knowledge on their own.

So don't be fooled by his appearance of a violent warrior and his extremely belligerent personality, but strictly speaking, Andros is actually a master of the academic school.

An hour later, the two stopped.

Andros taught Tom two more spells. These were not new magics he had recently learned, but two 'ancient' magics, but they were both relatively simple.

One is used to detect whether there is poison in the food, and the other is a trap trigger spell. If someone wants to attack by surprise, it will trigger and form a protective shield.

Tom memorized the spell and exited the study space.

The other three people in the dormitory were already fast asleep, but Tom couldn't fall asleep.

He has fully realized the power of the extraordinary state. At certain critical moments, ten minutes can be equivalent to ten days or half a month of hard training.

Looking at the more than 300 credits in the system, Tom sighed.

When will I become rich?...

Chapter 18: The Purebloods' Dissatisfaction with Dumbledore and Rosier's Revenge

For many things, there are only 0 times and countless times. After using the extraordinary mode once, Tom is already planning the second and third time.

But his financial strength really doesn't support him to do so.

He had been working hard every day for more than a month in the awakening system, and only then had he accumulated a few hundred credits.

It’s not that I don’t study hard, it’s mainly because I spend a lot of time every day using the study space, ranging from three hours to six or seven hours.

These days, because of learning spells and gaining various small achievements, his achievement points are almost breaking through 100, but the accumulation of credits is slow.

But when he saw the number of achievement points, Tom became interested again.

Should we hire another teacher?

One hundred achievement points summons a great teacher. Andros is good in every way except for his lack of understanding of modern systems. He basically taught me after learning everything.

The powerful magic that Andros mastered is considered ancient magic today and is very difficult to learn.

Not only does it require very advanced magic theory as support, but it also requires the study of ancient magic words, Cretan, Mycenaean, and Ionian dialects - the language used to write "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey", which is also a kind of magical language.

So now, in addition to the Patronus Charm, there is also the Impact Charm that Andros had used against the three Zabini before, as well as the two Protection Charms that he had just obtained.

All the remaining spells Tom learned were the basic spells from the book, and he couldn't access the more advanced ones at the moment.

The restricted section might have what he needs, but after thinking about his name, origin, and the college he attends,

Ok.

He didn't intend to hang out in the restricted books section so early, as this would simply touch Old Deng's sensitive nerves.

Tom now came to his senses. Andros played an indispensable role in Tom being sorted into Slytherin.

The Sorting Hat said something crucial: "It has even more pure and ancient magic than Salazar."

This change must have happened because he drew Andros's magical talent.

In Slytherin, where bloodline is important, if we only talk about the purity of magic, he is almost the ancestor of everyone, including Slytherin himself.

But after thinking about it, Tom gave up looking for another teacher. Although there is only one level difference between a hero of a generation and the king of the century, the actual level can be said to be a world of difference.

There are outstanding people from generation to generation. For example, the four deans of the school are absolutely outstanding people in their respective fields.

But characters like Dumbledore and Andros don't appear every hundred years.
