Hogwarts: Please, Just Graduate Already! Author: Road to Awakening

After transmigrating into the world of Harry Potter, Wayne awakened the Chaos King System. As long as he created chaos and violated school rules, he could earn rewards.

Thus, Hogwarts ushered in its most lively period in history.

Dumbledore: "A student life without breaking school rules is incomplete, but Wayne... please, show some restraint."

McGonagall: "I once thought the Weasley twins were invincible, but I never expected Wayne to be even more daring than them!"

Professor Sprout: "Ever since he arrived, the little badgers have turned into honey badgers."

Snape: "Azkaban! He should be sorted into Azkaban!"

Voldemort: "Forget about the Boy Who Lived, for heaven's sake! I just want to kill Wayne Lawrence! Now, immediately, right this second!"

Wayne shrugged helplessly: "I'm just a little bit lively, why are you all so eager for me to graduate?"

Chapter 1: I'm Done Being a Muggle!

July 27, 1991. London.

Inside a luxurious villa covering nearly ten thousand square feet in Westminster, a middle-aged man in a meticulous suit sat in the drawing room, expressionlessly recounting the glorious deeds of the handsome young man sitting opposite him.

"Third grade: you made the entire class cry."

"Fourth grade: you buried ten pounds of fireworks in the washroom, causing a sky full of flying debris."

"Fifth grade: you live-streamed the 'in-depth exchange' between the headmaster and the teachers."

"The most outrageous part was the sixth-grade graduation ceremony, where you actually gave a speech about the hammer and sickle in front of so many dignitaries."

"If it weren't for the fact that you are the last remaining seedling of the Lawrence family, you would probably still be under investigation by MI6 right now."

By the time he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth were twitching slightly. He hadn't realized it until he counted, but the sheer number was staggering.

Aside from these annual 'major events,' there were too many minor issues for him to even bother counting.

How on earth could you cause so much trouble just by attending primary school? "Wayne Lawrence, I am discussing a very serious topic with you, please focus your attention!"

Seeing the boy looking somewhat distracted, the middle-aged man frowned, his voice rising slightly.

It had been years since he became the secretary to a cabinet minister; never again had he encountered someone drifting off while he was speaking.

He, Humphrey Appleby, Permanent Secretary to the Home Office, was hailed as the model of the British Empire's civil service, with a future of limitless potential.

Yet today, he was suffering from a headache over his nephew's schooling. The handsome youth sitting across from him was his nephew, Wayne Lawrence.

The heir to the current Earl of Lawrence title.

The Lawrence family had always passed down their lineage through a single heir. By the generation of Wayne's parents, both had met with an accident shortly after Wayne was born, making him the sole survivor of the Lawrence family.

To ensure his sister's bloodline did not die out, Humphrey had treated this nephew with more care over the years than he had his own son.

"Oh, sorry, Uncle Humphrey, I was just thinking about something. Please, continue."

Wayne offered an apologetic smile, which, paired with his perfectly handsome appearance, gave him an air of impeccable politeness. It was impossible to imagine that he was the one who had committed those deeds just mentioned.

The middle-aged man's expression softened slightly as he continued:

"Wayne, I already spoke with Danvers from Harrow School yesterday. With your grades, there is no problem at all with you getting in, but please, restrain your rampant curiosity and excessive energy."

"Otherwise, failing to get a good evaluation in the school report will cause you great trouble when you try to enter Oxford or Balliol College later."

Harrow School was the most famous and oldest aristocratic school in England, and its most renowned alumnus was that British Prime Minister from the Second World War. "Wayne, what is that look in your eyes?"

"Uh, Uncle, I don't think I ever said I wanted to go to Harrow School, did I?" Wayne spread his hands.

"Then where do you want to go? Eton College? No, they only have a reputation; they've been getting worse every year, and anyone with money can get in."

"Westminster School? Also no. That school has a very strong artistic atmosphere, but it won't be of much help to your future in politics."

Humphrey analyzed the nearby prestigious schools with all his heart. The more he thought about it, the more he felt Harrow School was the best choice.

However, Wayne acted as if he hadn't heard a word, pulling an envelope out from behind his back.

On it was a wax seal with a shield crest, a large letter 'H' surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake.

"Sorry, Uncle, I won't be going to any of those schools." Wayne flashed a standard, formulaic smile: "I'm done being a Muggle!"

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Confederation of Wizards, Order of Merlin, First Class, Supreme Mugwump of the Wizengamot). We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and

"Of course," Wayne nodded gently. "Such an interesting place, I certainly want to go and see it."

Then he complained, "I've already spent six years in an all-boys primary school; if I go to Harrow or Eton for another seven years..."

Wayne couldn't help but shiver.

No wonder the British had their own unique national conditions; after spending over a decade in all-boys schools, many people would end up turning gay even if they weren't to begin with.

Uncle Humphrey fell into deep thought.

"Since it is your choice, I respect it, Wayne. If I had the opportunity to learn extraordinary powers, I wouldn't refuse either."

"However, to prevent this from being a scam, I will come over tomorrow to meet the professor with you."

"Of course," Wayne did not object.

Having set the time, Uncle Humphrey declined Wayne's invitation to dinner and hurried back to Downing Street.

Wayne understood this well.

His Uncle Humphrey not only had to deal with a massive amount of official business every day but was also busy playing a game of wits with the Home Secretary, Jim Hacker.

Although that minister had no systematic training as a politician and appeared quite comical, the killer instincts he occasionally displayed were enough to give Humphrey a massive headache. After instructing the household servants to prepare a feast for the celebration, Wayne returned to his bedroom.

He muttered in his heart.

"Big Brother System, let's make a deal. How about you return the points I spent a few days ago?"

"I'll even give those rewards back to you."

Chapter 2: Chaos King System, Class Change Upgrade Gift Pack

Orphaned, with a car and a house—Wayne Lawrence was undoubtedly a transmigrator.

As a transmigrator, it was only natural to possess his own cheat. From the third grade of primary school, his cheat had arrived: the Chaos King System.

As long as he violated rules and created chaos, he could obtain chaos points to use for lucky draws.

If the commotion he caused was large enough, he could even receive critical hit rewards. It was precisely because of this system that he had drifted far away from being a standard model student, becoming the "Chaos King" that Westminster Abbey Choir School feared to mention. He wasn't just academically excellent; he was also universally detested.

If it weren't for his truly exceptional grades and his formidable background, he likely would have been expelled from school several times over.

Over the years, Wayne had received quite a few rewards.

For instance, when he blew up the washroom in the fourth grade, it earned him a body optimization opportunity.

The original Wayne was already quite cute, but after the optimization, his appearance reached a new height, making him even more endearing.

His cute appearance became an important weapon for him to escape punishment.

Another example was the speech he gave before graduation regarding the hammer and sickle, which earned him the Memory Palace secret technique, granting him a photographic memory from then on.

Just two days ago, Wayne had spent all his points on a lucky draw, obtaining hundreds of thousands of pounds, various academic knowledge, and a golden epic-tier reward.

Fifteen percent of the shares in a certain operating software company, non-dilutable. But who could have guessed... this was the world of Harry Potter.

Just this morning, the moment he received his acceptance letter from the Scottish round-faced fat chicken, the system issued a prompt at the right time.

"Detected that the host's profession has changed, system upgrading..."

"Chaos King System 2.0 is at your service. May you add a different kind of vitality to this boring world." Wayne sighed.

If he had known he would receive a Hogwarts acceptance letter, who would have spent their points so cleanly?

However, reflecting on his experiences over the past eleven years, Wayne tried to find evidence of his magic outbursts and began to get some clues.

Once, while traveling in the United States, he looked at the Statue of Liberty and thought the torch was too ugly; as a result, the statue's arm broke off, even making the front page of international news.

At the time, he thought it was because the statue was in disrepair, but looking back now, it was likely caused by his own magic outburst.

After waiting for a while, the system finally replied.

"Spent points will not be refunded. The host will be gifted a Class Change Gift Pack and a System Upgrade Gift Pack."

Looking at the lines of text on the light screen, Wayne finally felt a bit better. This counted as getting two starter packs. "Open."

After burning incense and bathing, and bowing three times to the Tao Te Ching, Wayne opened the treasure chests quite casually.

"Opened Class Change Gift Pack. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Character Template Card, with a bonus: Personal Attribute Panel unlocked."

"Opened System Upgrade Gift Pack. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Pokémon Egg (partially localized), with a bonus: one set of Incubation Device." Wayne's eyes widened slightly. Good heavens.

Was the system upgrade this powerful? It even brought out a Pokémon egg. This was crossing worlds, wasn't it?

With a thought, the incubation device, which was about the size of a suitcase, and the Pokémon egg appeared on the table, along with an instruction manual.

The operation was very simple: just put the egg inside and connect the incubation device to a power source.

It would hatch automatically in ten days.

However, the system specifically noted that if a drop of blood were dripped onto the eggshell, the Pokémon would reach maximum intimacy the moment it was born.

After installing the Incubation Device, Wayne finally checked the other reward.

Template Card (Gold): Randomly obtain all talents and special abilities of a wizard above S-rank (including S-rank).

"S-rank? System, how are these ranks classified?" Wayne asked curiously.

Soon, a line of text appeared on the light screen.

D-rank talent: barely passing the OWLs exams. C-rank talent: can normally pass the NEWTs exams.

B-rank talent: active magic power, possessing a small amount of talent in the path of magic. A-rank talent: overflowing with talent, a genius in the eyes of ordinary people.

S-rank talent: a prodigy beyond reason, enough to leave a name in history.

SS-rank talent: rare to encounter in a hundred years, a dazzling existence even when looking across the long river of history, capable of influencing the course of history.

SSS-rank talent: Legendary!

After reading through it, Wayne fell silent for a moment. He did not rush to activate the Template Card, but instead commanded:

"Open my Personal Panel."
