Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

This can't be said to be completely different from her usual image of a cold and arrogant young lady, but it can be said to be the opposite.

I didn't expect you to still be this way, Cassandra.

However, there should still be a way to get in. The password needed to open the channel is also written on the remaining page. However, considering that I am on the other side of the channel, I am not sure whether the password will work.

Ethan coughed lightly and gave the password to enter:

"Extra muros."

The spiral-shaped stone bricks began to tremble, making an ear-scratching friction sound, and slowly expanded from the middle to the surroundings, revealing a circular passage.

When the passage expanded to about the size of a crucible for brewing potions, the moving bricks seemed to be stuck by something and moved back to the middle, returning to their original state.

"How could this happen?" Ethan had a constipated expression that said "I can't understand it."

If the password didn't work, the stone wall should be completely silent. But if it worked, it shouldn't have opened halfway and then closed again like it did just now.

I can only say that the password is correct, but not completely correct.

Could it be that my accent wasn't recognized?

"Isn't your password wrong?" Cassandra glanced at Ethan with a look of contempt as if she saw through everything.

"What do you mean?"

"The password you just said is Latin, which means 'go outside the wall'. It is obviously used when leaving. If you want to go inside the wall from outside, you should say: "Cassandra cleared her throat and said, "Intra muros."

The bricks that made up the stone wall moved again, and this time they moved even faster, quickly spreading out in all directions, revealing a circular passage that was more than one person tall.

"That's amazing, Miss Cassandra." Ethan looked at the passage in front of him and exclaimed, as if he had discovered some treasure. "You can actually think of this level. You are so knowledgeable and experienced. I really admire you."

"You just don't know enough." Cassandra snorted, looking smug. "I just happen to have a little knowledge in this area. You still need to learn more."

I'm finally able to surpass this guy in some area, I'm happy!

"I can't help it. After all, I've never been exposed to Latin before." Ethan laughed, his eyes full of vicissitudes. "It's better to say that the fact that I can speak English so fluently with you is already my limit."

"Oh, yes, you are Chinese." Cassandra pursed her lips and put on an open-minded look. "It's okay. You are still young and there is still a lot of time in the future. It is enough for you to learn a new language from scratch. If you want to learn Latin, you can come to me. I have books on this subject and can teach you."

"Let's talk about it later. Let's go in and take a look first." Ethan curled his lips, somewhat uninterested in Cassandra's sudden concern.

This statement makes you sound like some caring elder sister senior. Is this still your personality, little tsundere?

"Don't be so impatient~"

A sinister voice with an echo came into the ears of the two people from an unknown direction, making them alert instantly.

"Who is it?" The two immediately drew out their wands and stood back to back, alert to any movement around them.

A streak of black smoke flashing red flashed into their sight at an extremely fast speed from a distance, and fell between them and the passage on the stone wall.

"What's wrong, you two? As a student of Hogwarts, why don't you stay in the castle at night, but run to such a deserted place? Are you lost?"

The source of the sound was the black smoke. Figures walked out of it side by side, with their wands pointed at the two people in front of them.

"It's the Fire Snake Gang." Ethan, who had his back to the stone wall, turned around and stood beside Cassandra, holding his wand forward and ready to attack at any time.

"Twelve... no, thirteen?"

After everyone walked out of the smoke and stood still, the smoke gradually shrank and condensed into a human figure. Finally, when the smoke dissipated, a guy wearing a large black robe and a hood covering most of his face stood there.

Standard dark wizard attire.

"It turned out that we were right to hide. We expected that you would find a way to open this passage."

A member of the Fire Snake Party who was standing in the middle and wearing a black windbreaker took two steps forward, and the tip of his wand lit up with a green light. "But now that the passage is open, you are useless. Avada——"

"Stop!" The black-robed man behind him reached out and pressed the Fire Snake Party member's shoulder, stopping his action, "Don't kill them yet, capture them alive, I can still use them."

It sounded like a young voice, and Ethan was very familiar with it.

"Just to be on the safe side, let's just kill them. After all, that gentleman takes this operation very seriously, so it's better not to cause any more trouble..."

"I said, capture them alive." The man in the black robe seemed very impatient and said angrily, "Don't forget that I am the commander-in-chief of this operation!"

"You...you will regret it!" The Fire Snake Party members who were threatened by him forced themselves to suppress their dissatisfaction and stepped aside.

"It's been a long time since we last met," the man in black robe pushed aside the people blocking his way and slowly walked to Ethan, with a strange smile on his face, "How are you, Ethan?"

"...Who are you?" Ethan frowned and subconsciously protected Cassandra behind him.

"You are such a forgetful person, great hero."

He took off his hood, revealing a face that was very familiar to both Ethan and Cassandra.

"I'm a psychopath!"

Chapter 130 Then, there is only one answer (6k)

"Rosier? Why is it you?"

Cassandra frowned and looked at the face in front of her that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her with an expression of disbelief.

The face under the hood was none other than Neil Rosier, who had clashed with Ethan in Hogsmeade two months ago and had disappeared since then.

However, he looked really disgusting now, with thin cheeks, pale face, and a few deep cracks scattered on his skin, with strange red light flashing in between. It was simply a typical description of a dark wizard in Muggle literature.

If Ethan's guess was correct, Rosier must have used some method to obtain the power of that counterfeit version of ancient magic, and he might have also learned a lot of black magic. Looking at the red light in the cracks on his face, it couldn't be more familiar.

I just don't know to what extent he has mastered this power, so we should be more cautious just to be careful.

Rosier turned his pale face towards Cassandra, and with the corners of his mouth pulling up the stiff skin on his face, he revealed a fake smile: "Oh, isn't this Miss Volley? I didn't expect to see you here. How are your parents these days?"

Rozier turned his head to Ethan again, and the smile on his face became eerie. "But I really didn't expect you two to show up together. Why is your Mudblood girlfriend not here? Are you finally tired of her? You've even found a new partner so quickly, which is cause for celebration."

"It's been a long time since we last met, but you're still spewing shit out of your mouth as usual." Ethan sneered and began to speak in a sarcastic tone, "It must be hard to be hiding and living in fear outside? Oh my, look at you, you've become so thin~, it's really pitiful..."

"Shut up!" Rozier was broken by Ethan's words. He yelled and looked even more crazy. "It's all because of you! If it weren't for you and that mudblood, how could I have fallen to this point? Money, status, reputation, servants are all gone! I have never been so miserable!"

"Huh? Didn't you do that?" Ethan, who was accused, looked unhappy and made an international friendly gesture to Rozier. "Let's not talk about the school bullying of Alanna by you and your lackeys - although that alone is worthy of your current behavior. If you hadn't had malicious intentions and cast an Avada Kedavra curse on me, do you think you would still be in such a mess now, Mr. Wanted Criminal?"

You really can't expect to reason with a psychopath, especially one who is extremely self-righteous and arrogant. Even if they really made a mistake, they will not think it is their fault, and will put the blame on others or even the victim, pretending to be innocent and persecuted.

It can only be said that it is extremely and particularly despicable.

"You can only talk a few more words now." Rozier's chest kept rising and falling because of anger, and he smiled maliciously, "Although our Rozier family has lost all its glory and wealth, God has not abandoned me. That adult discovered the potential in me and gave me supreme power. For this, I have to thank you very much."

"Power?" Ethan laughed disdainfully. "You lost everything, and this is what you got? You are really calculating. It's a pity that you don't get a job at Gringotts."

"You don't understand, but I don't blame you. I never thought there would be such a wonderful thing in the world. When you become my prisoner, I will let you see this power." Rozier waved his hand, "Go, capture them alive. Whoever accidentally kills them will be killed with them!"

Several black spells flew towards Ethan and Cassandra like raindrops. Although they were not fatal, it would be painful to be hit by any one of them.

"Protego Horribilis."

"Immovable (Fianto duri)!"

Ethan quickly cast a powerful armor spell, and an invisible barrier instantly enveloped the two of them. Then the barrier was reinforced by Cassandra, and it was able to barely block the first wave of attacks.

The two looked at each other briefly, and tacitly began a combined attack. One used a spell to control the other took the opportunity to pile damage, one used a large-scale AOE to clear the field, and the other accurately last hit and killed people, and one did not have time to respond to the attack, so the other hurried to shield his teammates or deflect the incoming spells.

They were like old friends who had worked together for many years and had perfect rapport. They understood each other and were invincible in battle. It was hard to believe that this was only their second collaboration.

Of course, this kind of bullying performance is also based on the fact that the two of them are stronger than their peers. Let's not talk about Ethan for now. Thanks to her extraordinary talent and hard work, Cassandra can release more power than her peers with the same spell.

Ethan, who suffers from a fear of insufficient firepower, gave a thumbs up.

If we have to point out a flaw, it is that Cassandra has little actual combat experience, which leads to a slight lack of combat awareness. Her thinking has not yet completely emerged from the student duel of just enough points. When fighting, she tends to get carried away and chase after one enemy, thus ignoring the offensive of other enemies on the field.

However, as long as she is not fighting alone, this shortcoming can be easily compensated by the cooperation of her companions. If Cassandra is a spear that pierces the enemy in battle, then her companions only need to act as shields to protect the spear.

And this is what Ethan has to do in the battle, just pay a little attention to the spells fired at Cassandra, and be a little careful not to let her jump too far forward. This girl's own firepower can beat the opponent to tears, and he seems to be just an assist.

What, you asked him why he didn't just use ancient magic to clear the field and end the battle?

What a joke, I have been trapped in Hogwarts for more than two months without going out, and I have been bored for a long time. Now I finally have a chance to show my skills, how can I enjoy it if I don’t try a few tricks?

And there was no need to worry about going too far, the fighting power of these bastards in front of him was not enough to make him take it seriously. The only one he needed to be on guard against was the psychopath who hadn't made a move yet.

Within a minute, all twelve members of the Fire Snake Party except Rozier were either dead or injured. They fell to the ground, losing their combat effectiveness, and wailing could be heard one after another.

"It's you who's here. Just surrender!" Cassandra took a half step forward and pointed her wand at Rosier, who had been watching the battle calmly. "Fireball (Augue)!"

A fireball more than a person tall appeared out of thin air outside the barrier and flew towards Rozier at high speed. Wherever the fireball passed, a scorching wind was blown up, and the two Fire Snakes closest to the fireball were directly roasted into charcoal.

Rozier braved the scorching air, stretched out his right index finger and slowly moved it forward.

"turn down."

puff--

The fireball disappeared just before it touched his fingers.

"Nothing more than that." Rosier sneered, a dark red light flashing in his pupils, and he lightly snapped his fingers at Cassandra.

"That's how you play with fire, Miss Worley."

bass--

The hem of Cassandra's robe and skirt suddenly ignited dark red flames. Even though the school uniform was blessed by Madam Malkin's fire-resistant spell, it still couldn't stop the flames from spreading upwards.

“Clear water like a spring (Aguamenti)!”

Cassandra quickly cast a water spell on herself, but the water column not only failed to extinguish the flames on her clothes, but made the flames burn even more vigorously.

"Ludus aquae!"

Cassandra had no choice but to summon a water prison to wrap herself up completely, hoping to stop the fire from spreading. This did extinguish the flames on her clothes, but the edges of Cassandra's clothes in the water prison remained burned, and the flickering sparks continued to spread upwards, as if they would not stop until the clothes and herself were completely burned.

"We can't go on like this." Ethan pointed his wand at Cassandra in the dungeon.

"Sectumsempra!"

A sharp shadowless spell was cast into the water prison, but the deliberately deflected spell just missed Cassandra. Her clothes were instantly cut open by the spell, and the parts that had been spread by sparks were separated from the clothes, turning into strands of cloth, burning in the water.

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief and cast another spell to break the water prison:

"The curse stops immediately."

The water prison was broken, and Cassandra fell to the ground, coughing continuously. Her clothes had been changed by Ethan's spell, and her robe was cut into a tattered fringe coat, and her knee-length skirt became super short, revealing her black stockings that reached all the way to her thighs, revealing her absolute domain.

(Cassandra's current state can be seen in the defeat CG at the end of Chapter 86)

“You, don’t look!” Cassandra stopped coughing, covered the hem of her skirt and slowly stood up. She stared at Ethan with a red face and threatened viciously, “If you dare to put your eyes where you shouldn’t be, I will kill you!”

"Ahahahahahahaha!" Rozier was holding his stomach and laughing strangely. His creepy laughter was full of sarcasm.

"You look so embarrassed, Miss Worley. Where is your usual calmness? It's so rare to see you in such an embarrassing state. It really makes me very happy!"

He and she were both pure-blood wizards, and his family was even on the list of the 28 pure-blood holy families, while her Volley family was not on the list. But when he tried to build a good relationship with her in school, she rejected him harshly in public, and even said rude things to him, making him lose face in front of others.

He was not a generous person, and he took note of the grudge on the spot. Now that he had this opportunity, of course he would use all means to humiliate this ungrateful woman in front of him.

Burning clothes is just the beginning. What are the next steps?

"Sorry." Ethan looked straight ahead and took off his robe and threw it to Cassandra. "This is an emergency, I can only do this. Ragged clothes are better than burned skin. You can wear this to cover it up for now."

Cassandra blushed as she took Ethan's robe, used a spell to dry the wet clothes on her body, and then put his robe on her body and buttoned it up.

"Oh, you're really gentle." Rozier smacked his lips and clapped his hands perfunctorily. "No wonder you can hook up with one woman after another so quickly. You're really amazing."

"Is this all you can think of in your dirty mind, Master Rosier?" Ethan stared at Rosier with a colder look in his eyes. He walked slowly towards Cassandra, without looking back, and said to her, "I'm going to teach that psychopath a lesson. You stay here and don't move. Be careful of those guys lying on the ground. They may stand up at any time."

"Don't worry, I have some life-saving gadgets on me, they can't hurt me." Cassandra nodded, "You should be careful too."

"Teach me a lesson? That sounds so easy, Ethan." Rosier seemed to have heard something funny. His mouth curled up in disdain, and his body trembled. "You just saw that ordinary magic has no effect on me. I'm curious about how you're going to teach me a lesson."

"If magic doesn't work, then just use your fists. How can your fancy magic compare to my well-trained body?" Ethan put his wand back into his left sleeve and clenched his fists, with a more sneer on his face. "I didn't have a good time at Hogsmeade last time, so don't let me down this time."

"How shameless!" Rozier gathered a blood-red whip of light and lashed it hard on Ethan's shoulder. The white shirt underneath was instantly torn, revealing the slightly red skin underneath.

"Is that all?" Ethan brushed off the dust on his shoulders and laughed contemptuously, "It seems that the so-called supreme power is only this much. Or is it just because you are too weak to exert the true strength of this power?"

"Shut up!" Rozier seemed to have his secrets exposed, and suddenly started to feel helpless and furious. He condensed several scarlet energy balls around him and shot them towards Ethan.

"Too slow." Ethan dodged the incoming light ball by slightly turning sideways, while continuing to mock Rozier, "You obviously have such a powerful ability, but you use it so poorly. It's such a waste of power."

Translation: Oh, no way? Is it true that someone can use such a powerful force so poorly? Young Master Rozier is really weak, a piece of trash~, a piece of trash~!

It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.

Especially for a guy like Rozier who is easily angered and loses his mind, the effect is doubled.

Just like what happened in Hogsmeade, it is always much easier to deal with an enemy who has lost his mind.

"Oh!"

While dodging, Ethan had already walked close to Rozier and brought him into his attack range. He immediately raised his sandbag-sized fist and hit Rozier in the face.
