Hogwarts: I, Tom, am not the Dark Lord

Yes, he has nine ways to break the deadlock.

But it cannot be used at this time. How shameless of him is he to use evil black magic on a student?

Even if he is shameless, would the old man watching the game allow him to do this?

So when the rules are limited to a scope similar to a formal duel, Snape really has no good way to deal with Tom now.

Because he found that not only the power of Tom's spells increased significantly, but his physical fitness also changed. His movements became crisp and agile, his reaction speed was fast, and he was as slippery as a loach.

On the contrary, he has been sitting in the office for a long time, so his athletic ability has declined... It is basically equivalent to the output of standing still.

In the headmaster's office, even though Dumbledore had just discovered that Tom had dragon blood, his expression remained calm, but at this moment his brows were deeply furrowed.

He is relentless and aggressive like thunder, pressing forward step by step, and every time he casts a spell, he is extremely confident and determined.

This fighting style...how did he see the shadow of Grindelwald?

It's really crazy.

Another five minutes later, Snape, who had begun to sweat, called a halt to the fight.

Tom originally wanted to pretend to be deaf and not hear anything and avenge himself from last time, but after thinking about it, he decided to give Snape some face so that he could ask questions with confidence in the future. So he stopped with a sense of reluctance.

Snape left angrily. He was not angry with Tom, but with himself.

He couldn't even win over a single student. The professor's dignity was completely shattered. Tom would definitely not take him seriously in the future.

Even though it was like that before...

No, he has been too lazy in recent years. Even if he cannot reach Voldemort's level, he cannot give up on himself. At least... he has to make sure that Riddle surpasses him later!

Tom didn't know that because of his stimulation, Snape actually started to work hard, otherwise he would definitely ask him for tuition.

After Snape left, he did not return to the castle immediately, but went to the Forbidden Forest.

There are unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, but he doesn't know how many there are or where their living areas are. Although there is no good way to complete the second trial now, he still needs to scout the area and make preparations.

Tom thought about saving the unicorn from Quirrell. He would definitely save it if he could. After saving it, the unicorn, such a highly intelligent creature, would definitely be friendly to him.

But the system requires recognition and following, which means being his dog.

Hagrid has a good relationship with the creatures in the Forbidden Forest, but this does not mean submission and following. The two are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but equal friends.

Therefore, building good relationships is the first step, and how to complete the transformation of relationships is the second and most important step.

It was two o'clock and Tom still hadn't found the unicorn, but he did find some traces. After his gain, he returned to the dormitory to sleep.

He slept soundly, but two of them tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

In the dormitory inside the Potions Professor's office, Snape suddenly jumped up from his bed.

No, how could Riddle become so strong?

Principal's office.

Dumbledore sighed and paced back and forth in front of the window.

Grindelwald's fighting style?

No, he must have seen it wrong!

.......

Having solved his homework problem, Tom is finally free from worry.

In the next week, apart from attending classes every day, he spent most of his time in the library. He found all the books and materials about unicorns and began to study the habits of unicorns.

On the last day of the first week, Hermione told Tom a piece of news - thanks to the Chocolate Frog card, Harry had figured out Nicolas Flamel's identity and guessed that the Philosopher's Stone was hidden in the corridor on the fourth floor.

Then...he and Ron started to worry about Dumbledore's safety of the Philosopher's Stone.

Tom smiled and ignored Harry's reaction. It was good that he discovered it, so that he could be the first to know if there was any problem with the Philosopher's Stone.

Who knows if Quirrell will figure out all the traps in advance and take action earlier than the original time.

Anyway, in this week's magic class, Tom noticed that Quirrell's face was getting paler and paler. He didn't know whether it was because Voldemort was oppressing him more and more, or because he was under a lot of pressure himself. It felt like he might collapse at any time.

Sighing, Tom closed the book and put it back where it belonged.

Most of these materials introduce the various economic values ​​of unicorns and breeding strategies, but there is no mention of how to gain the recognition of unicorns.

In fact, this is normal. Most wizards need materials, and few people would think about taming unicorns.

No matter how pure it is, it is a 4X level magical creature and is somewhat dangerous.

At night, while studying spatial training, Grindelwald saw that Tom was still worried about the unicorn and offered an idea: "Why don't you ask Dumbledore? He has a wide range of knowledge and might be able to give you some useful advice."

Tom looked at him with a smile on his face. How could he not know what Grindelwald was planning?

He agreed to Grindelwald's method, but also put forward his own requirements.

Let Grindelwald develop a milk suitable for Tom's body... Ugh, magic.

Chapter 92: Gryffindor, who is too concerned about his reputation, asks Dumbledore to be the middleman

Logically speaking, if it is called self-created magic, then it must be done by yourself to be called self-created.

But in fact, many of the magic world's original magics are actually slight adjustments or variant applications based on certain magics.

For example, the gas stove that Grindelwald placed in Paris was called the Devil's Flame, but in fact it was a combination of the magic of the Grim Reaper and Legilimency.

Tom could have asked Grindelwald and Andros to help him design spells based on his style.

After he learned it, he improved it according to his actual experience and understanding.

When others learn ordinary spells, even if they master them, they can only get 50 points. After years of training, they may be able to get 80 points.

Tom started with an 80 or even 90 point score, and then through his own transformation, he achieved a perfect 100 points, which saved him a lot of trouble.

To achieve his level, one must have a century-level bull or horse... No, it must be the teacher who spends a lot of effort to help him "customize" the spell.

Grindelwald and Andros were also amazed after hearing Tom's ideas.

Hajim, you are really not lazy when it comes to being lazy.

Tom can think of such an operation, which saves him a lot of trouble, but he and Andros will be very busy.

There is no problem with Andros. He either sleeps or reads every day. With Grindelwald here, he can chat with him and do some work.

Grindelwald hesitated for a moment and then agreed as well.

The condition was that every time Tom went to see Dumbledore, he had to open the study space so that he could know what they both said.

Tom didn't refuse.

One hour and six credits. I can give Grindelwald ten minutes to visit his old lover, and the rest of the time can be used for studying, so it’s not a waste.

Now Tom rarely opens the study space to let the two of them out, he goes in alone.

Just treat it as a time to relax and as salary for the two personal trainers.

The terms were agreed upon, and Tom prepared to go see Dumbledore the next day.

However, he did not go in the morning. Instead, he asked the house-elf to help pass a message to confirm that Dumbledore was free in the afternoon. The two of them agreed to meet at four o'clock, and then he took Daphne out for a walk.

Although the weather was still cold, the Quidditch matches would begin next month and Gryffindor had already started training. The two were some distance away from pitch 237, and Tom could hear Wood's roar at the twins.

This man's passion for Quidditch is beyond comprehension.

Tom felt that if Wood was placed in the school more than a hundred years ago when Phineas was the principal, the first case of a student assassinating a principal in the school's history would probably have occurred.

It's that old man Phineas who suspended all Quidditch matches.

There are quite a few people walking on the lawn. Today is a rare sunny day, and the school is filled with a leisurely atmosphere.

Fang, the hound at Hagrid's door, was growling. He was tied to the door, and several students were standing at a distance that was out of reach of him, teasing him with dried meat. Tom could guarantee without even looking at the school uniforms that only Gryffindors would be so mean.

"They are so bad." Daphne also saw it and looked at the grinning Yaya with indignation.

Tom thought Yaya was ugly, but Daphne thought that although she was ugly, she was ugly in a cute way. She immediately took out two pieces of beef jerky from her snack bag and put them in Yaya's bowl.

Now that they had food, Yaya naturally ignored those students. After they lost their toys, they looked at Tom and Daphne unkindly and left in a depressed mood.

Tom was so angry that he laughed and stretched out his hand.

"The legs are frozen and stopped!" The legs of several people were instantly tied up as if by invisible ropes, tightly pressed together. Their bodies lost their center of balance and they all fell to the ground when they lost their balance.

"Riddle, what are you doing!" one of the young wizards said angrily, "Remove the spell for us!"

As a well-known top student in the school, many people in other grades know Tom.

Tom looked down at them with disdain, "You're not a good person, worse than a dog, and you dare to glare at us? Get out of here now, and see who can help you break the spell."

Being insulted by a junior student, several of them were so angry that their faces turned red, and they wanted to fight with Tom, but now their legs and feet were locked, so they could only swallow their anger and remember this grudge.

Looking at several Gryffindors jumping and skipping towards the castle with difficulty, Daphne burst out laughing.

"Gryffindor lives in the tower, so they're going to have to suffer."

"Serves them right. They were the ones who caused the trouble first."

Tom felt that the naughty kids in Gryffindor were actually the most troublesome in the entire school.

It goes without saying that the young wizards in Hufflepuff are the most honest. The gender ratio in Ravenclaw is unbalanced, with girls accounting for more than two-thirds. Even if there are more girls than boys, it won't cause any trouble.

Apart from targeting Gryffindor, Slytherin has a fanatical obsession with honor, and otherwise doesn't really cause any trouble.

Of course, it is usually their dean who causes trouble.

There were only Gryffindors, who were a group of high-energy hyperactive people who would get into trouble from time to time because of their curiosity.

"Tom, they won't go back to complain to Professor McGonagall, will they?"

After laughing, Daphne started to worry again, but Tom shook his head: "Don't worry, the students who love to tell tales the most are in Slytherin, and Gryffindor is a group of people who will swallow their anger even if it means breaking their teeth."

It was embarrassing enough for the seniors to be lectured by the juniors, but they also had to go to the professor crying.

Even if they really went, Professor McGonagall asked them why they had a conflict with Tom. Could it be because of a dog?

Then the next day, Gryffindor would become the biggest joke in the castle.

After listening to Tom's analysis, Daphne felt that it made sense. Even Hermione was a person who cared too much about her reputation, let alone others.
