I swung a sword at Hogwarts

He nodded, he had done his duty.

Back in the dormitory, John refined the branches of the Whomping Willow into a warning amulet that would warn when danger approached.

This amulet is more sensitive than the blasting-tailed skrewt, and even a kind of malice can be sensed by the Whomping Willow amulet.

"Now you can try to break through."

Thinking of the test of being a bird in the woods, John armed himself fully.

After getting the small bag, he stuffed some potions into it, including antidotes and fire retardants.

When everything was ready, he went to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.

After silently repeating the word "training ground" three times in his mind, a door appeared in front of him.

When we walked in, Gryffindor was already waiting there.

John nodded and said, "I'm ready. Let's start the test."

Gryffindor waved his wand, and the Room of Requirement changed instantly.

Vegetation grew in the training ground, covering it, and trees rose from the ground.

The changes continued for a while, and when everything stopped, John was already in a vast forest.

This was the first time he knew that the Room of Requirement could be used in this way.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was being taken into the Forbidden Forest.

Chapter 57: Birds of the Forest and Lions of the Mountain

Gryffindor stood beside John, he landed on a tree and lay down comfortably, and said, "There is a golden bird called the Golden Snidget in this forest, you need to find it."

"…Are you sure it's here?"

John looked at the huge forest that looked like a forbidden forest. It was difficult to find a person here, let alone the Golden Snitch who was only the size of a Golden Snitch.

Gryffindor smiled and said, "Of course it's here. By the way, you'd better find it before dark, otherwise other things will appear at night."

After saying this, Gryffindor looked like he was enjoying a good show. John thought about it and decided to look for it first.

He took a step forward and searched in the forest.

The Golden Snitch is a very fast bird, as elusive as the Golden Snitch.

Finding the Golden Snitch in Quidditch was hard enough, but now John felt like he was looking for a needle in a haystack.

After walking for a long time, he did not see any trace of the Golden Flying Man.

So he simply raised his wand and cast a spell at a tree.

"Reducto"

The white light hit the tree and blew it apart instantly. The huge noise attracted a large group of birds to fly up.

John stared closely at the flock of flying birds, but saw no golden light in them.

"In that case, let's have a bombing."

John did what he said. He used his flying boots to fly into the air and began to bomb in all directions.

One after another, the shattering spells fell on the ground, causing explosions, and the forest shook continuously.

The Gryffindors were shocked by his actions. They didn't expect that someone would choose to directly search for the Golden Snidget.

But if you think about it carefully, John was absolutely right.

The Golden Snidget is a sensitive bird and can fly incredibly fast.

Before the danger arrives, the Golden Flying Man is enough to dodge and fly away.

In other words, although John's method may seem reckless, it is actually very smart.

"Smart wizard, you saw the most convenient method at a glance, but you are still too young."

Gryffindor smiled. "This method is indeed very convenient, but it consumes a lot of magic power. You can't continue for too long."

Human bomber?

The Gryffindors were ready to see John make a fool of himself.

However, after a while, John's magic power gradually ran out. He took out his briefcase and pulled out a bottle of recovery potion from it.

"Tons, tons, tons."

After taking a gulp, John's magic power began to recover.

A new round of bombing began immediately.

This action stunned Gryffindor, "I don't believe how many you have left."

He just didn't believe it. No matter how much medicine a person drinks, there must be a limit.

As John finished off potion bottle after potion, Gryffindor became increasingly confused.

"Isn't he a Muggle-born? How come he has more potions than an ancient pure-blood family?"

John drank at least a dozen bottles of recovery potions, and the forest was blown beyond recognition by him.

Finally, after finishing another bottle of potion, a golden figure flew out of the forest.

John's vision, enhanced by the fire dragon's blood, locked onto the golden figure and without saying a word, he activated his flying boots and chased after it.

Along the way, the Golden Flying Man flew at an incredibly fast speed, and his body was so agile that he kept dodging in the woods to create distance.

John chased for several hours without success. As it was getting dark, he heard strange cries in the forest.

A guy running on two feet with bird feathers rushed out. Its shape looked like a hairy fire dragon. Seeing this, John pulled out his wand and attacked the guy.

The white light accurately hit the strange bird, causing it to fly away. Soon more strange birds came out. Even after being hit by the crushing spell, they were able to stand up and chase after a while.

"A bird-shaped man-eating monster."

Recognizing what it was, John increased his output and struck with all his strength to create a passage.

Taking the opportunity to fly high, the Golden Flying Man has become a small dot in the sky.

"All petrified!"

Aiming at the location of the Golden Snidget, John kept casting spells behind him.

The Golden Snidget is so agile that even riding the best broom may not be able to catch up with it, let alone with so many bird-shaped man-eating monsters interfering.

John's brain worked quickly and he released a fire spell at the woods.

The fire spell engulfed one tree, then the second, the third...

The flames gradually spread out, and the bird-shaped man-eating monster was burned by the flames and let out strange cries and flapped its wings.

Others were suffocated by the thick smoke and fell down.

The Golden Snidget flew very fast, and without any interference, John also flew at full speed.

He adjusted his flying boots to maximum speed, and with the flames and smoke interfering with the Golden Snidget, he gradually became unable to fly.

After the wings stopped flapping, the Golden Snidget fell.

John caught it before it fell into the fire and he completed the trial.

But the price was the burning of the entire forest, which made Gryffindor frown.

“Clear water like a spring (Aguamenti)”

John summoned a giant ball of water and headed towards the fire.

Seeing this scene, Gryffindor's frown finally relaxed.

"Although he will use some means to win, he will also make up for it after achieving his goal."

After commenting in his heart, John also brought the fire under control.

Landing in front of Gryffindor, John opened his palm and saw a small golden bird trying to stand up in his hand.

"You have completed the test of the bird in the woods."

The Gryffindor nodded and waved his wand to disperse the forest scene.

[Ding, triggering the challenge mission, Gryffindor Legacy Phase 1, Lion of the Mountain, get a reward of any point +, blessing: heavy attack]

Gryffindor said: "Lions are not lacking in courage and strength. Lions in the mountains need to be stronger than other lions. You need to prove to me that you have enough strength."

"I want you to climb the mountain."

With that, Gryffindor waved his wand again.

A mountain rose from the ground, and the House of Requests instantly became a mountain.

Gryffindor targeted several alchemical equipment on John, and John's amulet and flying boots were removed.

"Your alchemy skills are excellent, but they are no longer useful now."

John would be cheating if he wore flying boots to climb the mountain.

John was also speechless. How come his alchemy level was not considered his own strength?

Looking at the mountains, he took a deep breath, and when he exhaled again, it turned white.

"The temperature has dropped?"

He was stunned and looked around. Snowflakes were falling. John knew that if he didn't speed up, he might not be able to complete the test.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, he moved towards the top step by step.

The snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, and with the strong wind blowing, John felt like his body was almost frozen.

At first he could still see the road, but as time went by, there was only white in front of him.

John trudged forward.

On the way, John saw a snowman with white hair.

The white-haired snowman roared and rushed towards John. If John was hit by it, he would have to lie down for a while at least.

His face became serious and he dodged the collision from under the Tibetan snowman's feet. Without any hesitation, John pulled out his wand and aimed it at the white-haired snowman's head and cast a spell.

The white-haired snowman rolled down the hill and formed a big snowball.

John thought that was the end, but when he turned around, he saw a field of white-haired snowmen.

"You call this a test?"

John moved his lips but still didn't curse.

Casting an Disillusionment Charm on himself, John attempted to go around it.

But he underestimated the Yeti's sense of smell and was discovered by a Yeti as he passed by.

The snowman opened his mouth to roar, but John gave him a murderous look and immediately launched a threat.

The white-haired snowman stiffened, and John had already drawn the Iron Wick sword.

"I am a fire dragon."

The sword was blazing with flames, and John slashed the white-haired snowman's body with the sword.

The white-haired snowman fell to the ground, and flames started burning on the wounds on his body.

"It seems that deterrence works."

John narrowed his eyes dangerously. A group of snowmen blocked his way, so he didn't want to be polite anymore.

Holding the sword in both hands, he shouted, "Come on!"

The deterrence was activated, and every snowman he saw would involuntarily stiffen up.

As Ironwick's sword continued to slash, the snowman's speed was visibly reduced.

In the end, there were no more snowmen standing next to John.

He gripped his sword tightly and walked towards the top of the mountain step by step.

Gryffindor also saw this scene. He climbed to the top of the mountain and the wind and snow stopped.

Gryffindor was already waiting for him here, and now there was only one last test left.
