Dumbledore's opening feast speech was very deceptive, but Noah found that, including himself, all the Ravenclaw students seemed unsurprised by it.

At most, they pondered for a moment before guessing the answer, and this discovery made the corner of Noah's mouth twitch.

The feeling was not wonderful. Noah knew the answer, while these people had clearly guessed it through their own ability.

For a moment, Noah had the feeling of, how had a poor student like him gotten mixed into a circle of top students?

Of course, this doubt did not last long. Noah was quickly drawn in by the delicious food on the table. He had spent the whole day sleeping on the train today and naturally had not eaten anything properly, so he was already starving.

The dinner went very smoothly. Although Noah was extremely interested in how Dumbledore had managed to summon all this food out of thin air, he was not foolish enough to ask such questions. It was obvious these were not things a student like him could master.

After the dinner ended, the students of each House headed to their dormitories under the guidance of their respective prefects.

Ravenclaw Tower was located on the west side of the castle. This was where the Ravenclaw Common Room and dormitories were.

Noah and the others soon arrived in a large, airy, circular room. Elegant arched windows opened in the walls, hung with blue and bronze silk curtains.

The ceiling was a dome, studded with stars, and the deep blue carpet below was also studded with stars.

There were tables, chairs, and bookshelves in the room, and in the alcove opposite the door stood a white marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw.

"This is the Ravenclaw Common Room," Evan said softly, standing beside Noah. "I heard my parents say that a door next to the statue leads up to the dormitories."

"Is that so? This design really is interesting." Noah nodded.

The environment here could be said to be very good. Compared with Slytherin's underground Common Room, this place was bright and translucent, without any gloomy feeling at all. Instead, it gave off a somewhat luxurious impression.

Most importantly, there really were plenty of books here, and Noah also hoped he could have a good future in this place.

"All right, everyone. Every time you enter, you must answer a question. The answers to these questions are all on the bookshelves in the Common Room. Of course, if you can't get in because of that, then just wait honestly for someone else to let you in. At least that way, you'll all learn something."

After Prefect Penelope Clearwater gave a few more instructions, she let the first-years go back to rest.

Starting tomorrow, the first-years would officially begin their studies at Hogwarts. They would start from scratch and learn all kinds of magical knowledge.

The first-years were all looking forward to it, including Evan, who had been following beside Noah the whole time. Even though his whole family had been Ravenclaws, when he truly walked into this House, he was still extremely excited.

However, Noah felt there probably would not be anyone like Harry Potter, who was so excited he could not even sleep and ended up waking late the next day. Although Ravenclaw was not Slytherin, filled entirely with pure-blood nobles, the students here were more idealistic, and there was no shortage of those whose families were already wizards.

Take Evan, for example. Before people like him came here, the elders in their families must have told them quite a bit of relevant experience.

"Looks like we really do have some fate between us. I didn't expect we'd actually be in the same dormitory."

When Noah came to his dormitory with his number plate, he unexpectedly discovered that the boy named Evan had also followed him here.

Glancing at the number in his hand, it was obvious this guy should be in the same dormitory as him.

"Indeed. I'm very glad to be your roommate," Evan said with a smile as well.

Walking into the dormitory, Noah found that there were already other people inside.

This was quite normal. After all, the room assigned by the House was really large, so it was obviously impossible for only one or two people to live there, especially when there were quite a lot of students.

There were four people in Noah's dormitory in total. Besides Noah and Evan, the other two were Luns and Kate.

Their situations were similar to Evan's. The elders in their families had more or less all been Ravenclaw students, so they had also inherited this tradition and entered Ravenclaw.

These fellows all had decent personalities. Since it was their first meeting, they inevitably started chatting. After learning about Noah's situation, they did not show any arrogant attitude, and Noah also got along with them very easily.

"Tell me, why did Professor Dumbledore specifically emphasize not to go near that place?" After chatting for a while, Kate suddenly asked with some interest.

"This... I think we'd better not discuss it. And it's getting late now, so shouldn't we rest early?" Luns had a steadier personality, and he was not willing to talk about something that was clearly somewhat forbidden.

Besides, it really was getting late. They still had necessary classes to attend tomorrow. If they were late on the very first day, that would look terrible.

So the four little fellows quickly reached a consensus and each climbed into bed. Evan even casually extinguished the flame on the candlestick.

Noah remembered that their first class seemed to be History of Magic, and Ravenclaw would attend this class together with Hufflepuff.

Honestly, Hogwarts' class system was very interesting. It often gathered students from two Houses together for lessons.

Perhaps in the morning, you had this class together with Hufflepuff, but in the afternoon, you might have another class together with Gryffindor or Slytherin.

Of course, there were also some classes that were more special, such as Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms Class, and the like.

These kinds of classes were basically attended by all four Houses together. Noah had nothing much to say about such a class system. It was probably to increase the students' enthusiasm and competitiveness, right?

Closing his eyes, Noah soon arrived inside the Library in the System Space.

With the system helping him, he could basically have more time than others to study what he wanted to learn. This could also be considered a benefit, large or small, right?

"If only time here could be multiplied. For example, how good would it be if time here was twice as fast as outside?"

Noah muttered softly, then casually picked up a copy of Magical Techniques from the bookshelf, the book he had been flipping through before. He decided to properly memorize the contents of this book.

What he had not expected was that the thing he had muttered softly actually received a response from the system.

"It is possible, but your current magical strength and your mental power are completely unable to reach the corresponding intensity. Therefore, I cannot activate this function."

"Huh?"

Noah froze for a moment when he heard this, but his mood soon became somewhat happy.

If that was the case, once his strength became powerful, could it be doubled? Or even not just doubled, but multiplied by even more?

"Yes." The system knew what Noah was thinking and took the initiative to say, "The stronger you are, the stronger the assistance I can provide you. So work hard, host."

"Is that so? That's great." Noah smiled, but very quickly, he thought of something else. "Right, since you're so amazing, who created you?"

"Insufficient strength. Unable to disclose."
