Name: Noah Finneal Age: Twelve Mage Level: First Order Level Zero

These were the figures Noah's system panel had given him. After March had passed, Noah was already twelve years old.

But honestly, Noah did not seem to feel what exactly had changed when he went from a Zero Order magical apprentice to the First Order. Aside from his magic power becoming more condensed, there did not seem to be anything particularly different.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Noah felt that there did not seem to be any problem with that.

Although First Order magic had freed him from the awkward status of a magical apprentice and made him an official wizard, in the complete system of mages, the gap between a First Order mage and a magical apprentice did not seem as great as he had imagined!

Otherwise, Noah would not have advanced without even realizing it, and without the slightest unusual phenomenon occurring!

Still, no matter what, an improvement was an improvement, and Noah was very happy about it.

First Order Level Zero looked much better than Zero Order Level Nine, didn't it?

Of course, Noah also knew that the reason he had improved so quickly was because his current level was low, along with the system's help.

Otherwise, Noah did not think he could necessarily compare to people like Kate. Even Hermione, who had come from the Muggle world with them, was an unquestionable genius!

But it did not matter. The fact that he had the system's help was already set in stone. There was no point wondering what would have happened if he did not have this or that.

It was all nonsense. What Noah had to do was make sure he did not waste the advantages the system had provided and continue onward down the path of becoming a great mage!

That was what Noah thought, and that was what he did. After reaching the First Order, Noah did not slack off. Instead, he became even more diligent.

He knew he had started learning magic rather late. Besides, he knew that what he would face in the future was not some little ant like Voldemort, but Cosmic Overlords like Thanos!

If Noah was not powerful enough, he probably would not even be able to stand upon that stage in the future!

Compared to hiding away for what might be safety, Noah would rather possess absolute safety himself!

Noah's enthusiasm spurred everyone in the Mage Alliance on. Seeing that Noah, who was already so powerful and so far ahead of them, was working even harder than they were, training against fixed, powerful opponents every day, they felt that they truly had not been doing enough.

So, one by one, they began working even harder. In such an environment and atmosphere, it would probably have been difficult for the young wizards not to improve.

However, they had not kept this up for long before someone interrupted them.

"I'm saying, Harry, you stopped us but won't say anything. What exactly do you want?"

One afternoon after class, Noah and the others finished dinner and planned to head straight to the Room of Requirement. However, Harry stopped them halfway there.

But when Noah asked what he wanted, Harry kept looking as though he wanted to speak but hesitated. It was truly a headache.

"I... I want to ask you for a favor. I don't know whether you'd be willing." Perhaps noticing that Noah and the others were starting to grow dissatisfied, he could only speak up.

Harry truly had not wanted to ask Ravenclaws for help, but this time, he really had no choice.

He wanted to stop the Philosopher's Stone from being stolen and had even gone to Professor Dumbledore. Dumbledore had apparently agreed with Harry's suggestion and become more attentive.

But unfortunately, Dumbledore had to make a trip to the Ministry of Magic in London today, and that immediately set Harry's uneasy heart racing again.

He was terribly worried that someone would make a move against the Philosopher's Stone while Professor Dumbledore was away.

So, encouraged by Ron, he decided to pass through the trapdoor beneath the Three-headed dog, take the Philosopher's Stone, and wait until Dumbledore returned to give it to him.

But unfortunately, the two of them had felt unable to move the moment they saw the Three-headed dog!

The Three-headed dog was enormous. One of its heads was nearly as tall as they were!

Clearly, they had no way to deal with that creature. Just as they were at their wits' end, Harry suddenly thought of Noah, who had thoroughly taught the troll a lesson and whose injuries still had not healed.

After considering it over and over, Harry finally put Hogwarts' safety first and suppressed thoughts of showing off.

That was why, after class, he had secretly followed Hermione. He knew that the girl would definitely go find Noah and the others. Sure enough, Hermione had gone, giving him the chance to stop them.

"A favor? What kind of favor?" Kate gave the two of them a strange look. Honestly, he had little fondness for either of them.

"Well... we..." Harry still seemed hesitant.

"If you don't want to say it, then keep your secret hidden. We're not interested in hearing it, either. Sorry, we have something to do. Please move aside."

Seeing Harry acting like this, Noah naturally was not going to indulge him.

Besides, Noah had more or less guessed what Harry was thinking, or rather, what kind of help he wanted from them.

To put it plainly, Harry wanted to enter the place where the Philosopher's Stone was being protected, but there were traps everywhere along the way.

Clearly, he felt that his abilities might not be enough, so he planned to find a few helpers.

Noah had nothing to say about that sort of thing. If you wanted help, fine, but at least say what you were supposed to say, right?

Worrying about this and worrying about that clearly meant he did not trust their group all that much.

Since that was the case, why should Noah pay attention to him?

Honestly, Noah did not think all that highly of Harry Potter. Perhaps his talent was indeed good, but talent was only talent!

Before talent was transformed into actual strength, it was all empty talk.

So compared to Harry, Noah respected each of the professors greatly, because they had sufficient strength and profound knowledge. They had all worked hard to reach where they were today.

Noah left directly, and Kate and the others went with him. Although Hermione wanted to find out what Harry was trying to do, she glanced at Noah and decisively chose to follow them.

If he was unwilling to say it, then forget it. Did he expect them to beg him to tell them?

"Sorry, please wait a moment." Seeing Noah and the others leave without another word, Harry immediately panicked.

He thought for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and said to Noah and the others, "Do you remember Meller's Treasure and that mysterious person?"

"Of course we remember. We were the ones who told you about it. It was only a few months ago, wasn't it? What about it?" Evan nodded, somewhat unable to figure out what was going on.

"Actually, that night, I went to the Forbidden Forest to find Hagrid and learn about some related things—oh, Hagrid is the Forbidden Forest's caretaker—and then I was..."

"Get to the point."

"Uh, right. Later, some things happened. When I was serving detention in the Forbidden Forest at night, I saw Voldemort! Thinking back on what you told me before, I can now conclude that Voldemort is at Hogwarts! He wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone! I swear!"

"Huh?"
