What Bad Intentions Could a Little Hufflepuff Have?

Then she fled the shop with the cake in hand.

Black noticed.

The little girl running out the door.

Even the tips of her ears had turned bright red.

"Um... you gave me too much. That cake isn't worth this much!"

Black called after her.

Hermione acted as if she hadn't heard him.

She darted out of the shop like she was flying...

"Ding! Detected an extremely awkward emotion."

"Ding! Drawing a Treasure Chest for the host!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained one Silver Treasure Chest!"

"Uh..."

Black looked at the full ten Pounds Sterling in his hand.

"Fine, I'll pay her back when I get the chance."

Black felt that he still had professional ethics.

All he wanted were Treasure Chests.

Pounds Sterling and all that...

They were merely worldly possessions!

He would let poor Hermione off today.

After all, he couldn't keep fleecing the same sheep...

Black turned around smugly.

Then he saw the owner's astonished expression.

Clearly, Black's little stunt had shocked him quite badly too.

"Pack these up for me!" Black said.

He pulled out one bill from Hermione's money and handed it to the owner.

As the packing fee...

Then he picked up a dessert.

And happily took a bite.

Didn't like sweets?

How could that be possible!

As Black waited for the owner to pack everything up while eating dessert.

He turned his attention to the three silver-glinting Treasure Chests in the System Space.

Then, filled with anticipation, he silently said.

"System! I want to open the Treasure Chests!"

Hermione Really Was a Treasure Girl! The Kind That Actually Dropped Treasure Chests!

"Ding! Detected that the host possesses three Silver Treasure Chests."

"Ding! Does the host confirm opening them?"

"Yes, open the Treasure Chests," Black silently replied.

"Ding! Opening the first Silver Treasure Chest for the host!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Photographic Memory Talent!"

"Ding! The host's memory has been greatly enhanced!"

Black froze mid-bite.

The instant the system notification stopped.

He felt as though his brain had been doused with cold water.

Then, all the dregs in his mind seemed to have been washed away completely.

And he could clearly feel that his memory had become terrifyingly powerful...

Leaving aside anything further back.

Take Hermione, whom he had only just met.

The moment he recalled her now.

It was as though he could see the scene from earlier right before his eyes.

Hermione's clothing and appearance.

Even how many pimples she had on her face.

He remembered every detail clearly!

Going back even further...

Even things he had forgotten years ago.

Had suddenly all come back to him!

He even remembered everything from his previous life with perfect clarity!

And Black was delighted to discover.

That even with such an enormous amount of additional memories in his mind.

He still didn't feel the slightest bit dizzy or overwhelmed.

It seemed that every memory would only surface automatically when Black needed to recall it.

So they would not overload Black's brain.

Just one Silver Treasure Chest had given him such a useful talent.

Black was overjoyed.

And he still had two more Treasure Chests like this!

Black's heart filled with anticipation!

Black took another bite of dessert.

Then urged the system to open the second Silver Treasure Chest!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Ultimate Scholar Talent!"

"Ding! The host's comprehension ability has been greatly enhanced!"

"Scholar Talent? Comprehension ability?"

As Black wondered.

Whether this ability would overlap with the Photographic Memory Talent.

He suddenly felt as if his brain had been struck by electricity.

A tingling numbness spread through it...

After that, he understood the meaning of the Scholar Talent.

This talent did not overlap with the Photographic Memory Talent.

Instead, the two made an excellent combination.

The Photographic Memory Talent gave him unparalleled memory.

While the Ultimate Scholar Talent.

Granted Black astonishing comprehension.

Simply put, no matter how difficult the knowledge was.

He could understand it at a glance, and his learning ability had greatly improved.

Excited, Black finished the dessert in his hand in two bites.

Hermione truly lived up to her reputation as a top student!

The Treasure Chests that dropped from her.

Actually all yielded rewards related to scholarship!

Black had gained some insight.

The rewards given by the Treasure Chests.

Seemed to be inextricably linked to the person who dropped them!

Not far away, the owner, who was diligently packing everything up.

Occasionally stole a glance at Black, who kept grinning foolishly...

Of course, Black, who had reaped such rich rewards, did not care at all about what others thought.

The reward from the second Silver Treasure Chest also delighted Black!

"Her-mione really is a treasure girl..."

Black could not help silently praising her in his heart.

Of course, the treasure he meant...

Was treasure in the most literal sense...

Her Treasure Chest drop rate was ridiculously high!

Naturally, the chance of her dropping Treasure Chests was also extremely high!

At the same time, Black urged the system once more to open the third Silver Treasure Chest!

The system faithfully carried out Black's command.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained one copy of Proficient in Basic Transfiguration!"

Black's smile vanished abruptly.

A book?

It wasn't that books were bad... but...

Compared to the first two rewards, this seemed a fair bit worse!

Just as Black felt that something was off.

He suddenly felt a huge amount of knowledge appear in his mind!

"This is..."

Black's eyes widened excitedly.

In an instant, he had completely mastered all the knowledge contained in Proficient in Basic Transfiguration!

Black felt that his Transfiguration had improved tremendously!

Before this, he had been relying on memories from his previous life to train his magic.

But Transfiguration had no fixed incantations.

So before, he could only explore and study it on his own.

As a result, his Transfiguration had progressed slowly.
