Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

He could sense that the magic power in his body and the Seed of Fertility rooted in the magic power actually began to resonate with the Philosopher's Stone at this moment!

They seemed to be making a huge cheer.

"Magic...damn it!"

Ryan immediately realized that he had overlooked a problem.

Just as mentioned before.

His still young body, and the fertile seeds that are still just young sprouts... they all need powerful magic power to grow quickly!

And there is no doubt about it.

The Philosopher's Stone itself... is 'powerful magic'!

So the next moment, Ryan saw the Philosopher's Stone in his hand begin to shatter.

It heard the longing within Ryan and was responding to him!

"Kara!"

Then it broke into pieces of red fragments, and those fragments became invisible in the air.

Instead, what appeared before Ryan was...something liquid and constantly changing in the center of the Philosopher's Stone.

It was like a memory being extracted, or a soul being molded.

Anyway, no matter what it is, Ryan can feel that it is filled with unprecedented powerful magic!

"That is the essence of the Philosopher's Stone, its most fundamental magic!"

Ryan realized this.

And the next moment, his thoughts stopped.

Because he saw that thing begin to seep into his body - like rain water seeping into the soil, silently!

Then...

"boom!"

The enormous magic power that erupted from Ryan's body instantly lifted all the beds and tables in the room up to the ceiling.

His body was slowly lifted up by magic, and the ground and walls began to crack. The quick shelter Ryan had set up earlier was of great help - its existence allowed the entire dormitory to maintain its structure and not collapse!

But Ryan had no time to take care of his dormitory at this moment.

Because he could feel the changes happening in his body at this moment.

The substance flowing out from the center of the Philosopher's Stone was transforming into pure magic power, accumulating and precipitating in his body.

And his body, the seed of abundance within him greedily sucked up the magic power.

This directly caused the magic power in his body to begin to grow at an exaggerated rate.

Of course, this growth did not last long.

Ten minutes later.

"Buzz!"

The immense magical power surging in the dormitory calmed down.

Ryan's figure was still hanging in the air, and he was looking at his hands with a helpless look.

At this moment, the magic stone in his hand had completely disappeared.

Instead, it is...

"My magic power has increased by at least twenty times, no... to be exact, 23.6 times - almost as strong as when I took a small dose of Goliath Potion."

Ryan accurately judged the strength of the magic power in his body at this moment.

For reference... Although Ryan's magic power at this level cannot be called at its peak, it is enough to easily kill a giant monster lord.

According to Ryan's previous estimation, his body would need to grow for at least two more years before he could possess this level of magic power!

But now—in just ten minutes, he had crossed two years!

But Ryan was not surprised at this moment.

Even this exaggerated increase in magic power is still just the tip of the iceberg of the changes in his body at this moment.

"No... not even the tip of the iceberg."

Ryan sighed softly.

Because at this moment... there is a huge amount of magic power deposited in his blood, his bones, and even his soul.

The sheer amount of magic power was so huge that it far exceeded the magic power of any wizard Ryan knew—even his four teachers did not possess such exaggerated magic power!

It can be said like this.

Any wizard, even a legendary wizard like Dumbledore - his body would certainly not be able to withstand this almost 'infinite' magical power.

He would be killed directly by this huge surge of magic power.

However, Ryan is the only exception.

Because he had just obtained the Hufflepuff treasure not long ago.

The Seed of Fertility brought him endless vitality, which allowed him to withstand this almost infinite magic power.

Of course—he merely endured them, not mastered them.

For Ryan.

These magical powers are more like huge veins of minerals existing in his body, waiting for him to mine.

Or to be more precise...

He is already picking.

"Buzz!"

Ryan could clearly feel that the Seed of Fertility in his body was still madly absorbing this magic power!

This directly led to the magic power in Ryan's body growing at an extremely fast speed almost all the time.

"..."

Then Ryan's expression became more subtle.

He deeply realized what it meant that "plans cannot keep up with changes."

Before he obtained the Seed of Plenty, he thought it would take at least seven years for him to recover his magic power to its peak.

After obtaining the Seed of Plenty, he believed that with the concentration of magic in Hogwarts, it would take him four years to restore his magic to its peak.

but now...

"I only need two years at most... No, maybe even less!"

"Not even just returning to peak form—with the amount of mana I have..."

It was even difficult for Ryan to imagine the limit of his magic growth.

But he was sure.

That limit must have far exceeded his own a thousand years ago.

So there is no doubt - from his perspective as a wizard alone, the accident that happened at this moment was definitely a good thing.

But, looking at it from another perspective...

"I swallowed the Philosopher's Stone..."

Ryan looked a little strange.

He found it difficult to imagine telling Dumbledore about this.

"Dumpster, the Philosopher's Stone has been found—and the good news is, it didn't fall into Voldemort's hands."

"The bad news is, it's gone."

Merlin, Ryan, remember that the Philosopher's Stone is an essential ingredient for Nicolas Flamel to make the elixir of immortality!

Now it has been swallowed into Ryan's stomach, which means that unless Nicolas Flamel can refine a new philosopher's stone, this legendary wizard who has existed for hundreds of years will inevitably meet his death!

"I'm in trouble..."

This fact made Ryan's heart extremely heavy - he didn't know how to tell Dumbledore.

As for keeping this matter secret and not telling Dumbledore?

Ryan would not have such an idea.

None of the Big Four had ever taught him to evade... to lie and conceal; that was the behavior of the despicable and cowardly.

"If all else fails, I'll just stay with Nicolas Flamel for a while—if he dies, I'll use life magic to bring him back!"

"This will at least allow him to last a little longer?"

Ryan muttered to himself.

"Meow meow!"

Then the voice of White Cat Friday caught his attention.

He looked at the culprit in front of him - the latter had a candy box that was abnormally large for its body size next to it, and was looking at him blankly.

"Excellent, Friday."

Ryan looked down at his cat.

He waved his fingers casually, and then the cracks on the dormitory floor and walls began to heal quickly, and the collapsed beds, tables and chairs quickly flew back to their original places.

The only difference from before was that this time Friday and the candy box also flew up together.

He landed on the ground in front of Ryan, and at this moment there was even a small 'defendant's seat' on the ground.

Ryan sat back in his chair gracefully, like a chief justice awaiting trial - of course, Chief Justice Ryan was special because what he held in his hand was not a hammer but a candy box.

Mr. Justice took out a popping candy from the box and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm... cranberry flavor, good luck—now, we need to talk."

"Meow?"
