Dress-Up Area Lights Up

Dylan gave it a try.

He took a Galleon from his backpack.

Sure enough, with a thought from him,

the Galleon in his hand disappeared.

When he looked at the System Panel instead,

the money section displayed the amount of Galleons.

Dylan was delighted and immediately deposited all the money on him, including the Pound Sterling his parents had given him.

This included all the various items he had purchased.

"This system is pretty useful. It doesn't even require me to get an external item like a Space Ring, and it also keeps other people from stealing it."

More importantly, by depositing his money into the System Panel, he wouldn't need to put it in Gringotts.

The vaults at Gringotts weren't easy to access. Every time they were used, even when money was merely deposited, a price had to be paid.

Dylan didn't want to be taken for a fool.

As for the Inventory, it allowed him to store his belongings freely. That was another useful feature.

Dylan was very satisfied.

Looking at the additional amount of money on the panel and the fully stocked Inventory,

he decided to keep going and fill them up.

He glanced at the next rewards.

He skimmed straight past Magic Affinity and Potion Affinity.

Then he looked at the other two areas on the System Panel.

They were the Wizard Robe Customization Area and the Wand Customization Area.

These two areas weren't located under the Wizard's Hat icon, but under the Magic Wand icon.

After he opened it,

a prompt for a new page popped up.

----------

Name: Dylan Hawkwood

Spells Available for Refinement: None

Wands Available for Customization: 1

Wizard Robes Available for Customization: 1

----------

The Wizard Robe Customization Area was still dim for the time being.

That was because he had only gone to have his Wizard Robes custom-made today. He would have to wait a while longer before he could collect them.

After thinking for a moment,

Dylan tapped into the Wands Available for Customization section.

He discovered that it simply allowed him to spend money customizing the appearance of his Magic Wand.

This included, but wasn't limited to, its appearance and color. It could even change the color of the magic released through the wand.

"This..."

Dylan instinctively felt that this feature was useless, but then another thought occurred to him.

If he could set the color, did colorless count as a color?

If he could turn the magic released through his wand colorless...

then using all kinds of Dark Magic should become much easier, right?

He glanced at the price required.

"What? It costs 100 Galleons just to change one setting?"

He felt that this system had truly gone crazy.

Why was an Achievement System making him go through a development system like this?

And it even charged him!

Dylan looked at the Magic Wand he had just bought.

"Forget it. I'll think about it when I have more money."

Dylan then tapped into the dimmed Wizard Robes Available for Customization section.

Although this function couldn't be used yet because he hadn't obtained his Wizard Robes, that didn't stop him from checking what the area could do.

It was much like the Wand Customization Area.

Both allowed him to spend money designing the appearance of his Wizard Robes.

What was special, however, was that once he put on the Wizard Robes, he could even customize his own appearance.

For example, he could change his hairstyle, alter the style of his Wizard Robes, or even apply makeup in all sorts of styles...

Likewise, changing one setting cost 100 Galleons.

"As expected of a Dress-Up Area. It really is a Money Pit..."

Changing one setting meant, for example—

changing his hairstyle cost one hundred.

Changing his makeup also cost one hundred.

Changing the style of his Wizard Robes cost one hundred as well.

And these settings couldn't be saved.

In other words, if he changed something once, he would have to pay again to change it back the next time.

Dylan sighed.

"Anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem. Once I have money, these two areas will definitely come in handy."

In fact, whether it was changing the appearance of his Magic Wand or his own appearance, both would be very useful for his future activities.

But the system had suddenly introduced such a function, giving Dylan an odd feeling...

Could the system be trying to turn him into the Dark Lord so he could rob all the money from Gringotts and spend it on the system?

"Sigh, of all these rewards, the one I like best is actually the hundred Galleons..."

That was worth several hundred Pound Sterling to start with. It would take his family quite a long time to earn that much back!

"Moo~" Little Shadow let out another cry when it saw its master laughing one moment and crying the next.

"Are you hungry?" Dylan asked with a smile.

He took out some food.

He hadn't dared buy any pet feed from the Magical Creature shop today.

After all, he needed to ask the owner how to raise Little Shadow.

If he didn't buy a pet and only bought feed, someone might report him immediately.

He wasn't willing to take that risk.

After feeding Coal Ball,

Dylan returned it to the Pet Space in the system.

"Getting a license isn't easy either. I'd better go to sleep first."

Dylan buried his head in sleep.

After waking up the next day,

Dylan took out all kinds of books he had bought from Flourish and Blotts.

He wanted to take advantage of the month before school started to study in advance properly. Ideally, he would learn a few spells ahead of time.

"I wonder if Harry Potter is in the same year as me."

Dylan didn't dwell on that question for long.

After all, he would know once school started.

Having mastered six Max Level Spells, learning ordinary standard beginner spells was practically effortless for him. He could sweep through them with ease.

"Levitation Charm?"

After studying it for a while,

Dylan tried to make the book in front of him float.

Holding his Magic Wand, he gave it a light tap.

"Wingardium Leviosa!"

Whoosh!

The magic power in his body flowed precisely into the Magic Wand before being released, enveloping the book in front of him.

"Hm? It worked on the first try?"

Dylan was pleasantly surprised.

However, before he could enjoy his success for long,

it seemed that his Magic Power Output was too strong—or perhaps he had simply continued outputting magic power nonstop.

As a result, the book, which only needed to be enveloped by a tiny amount of magic power, began trembling slightly.

Then, with a bang, it fell onto the desk.

"Hm... It looks like I need to control my magic power more precisely."

It was the first spell he had mastered and successfully cast.

The excitement in Dylan's heart made him tirelessly try casting it at the textbook in front of him again and again.

He also discovered something else.

After he learned the Levitation Charm,

the spell appeared on his panel as well.

However, unlike the other spells, it didn't only display the spell's name. There was also a bracket afterward.

For example, Levitation Charm (3/10).

It seemed to be related to his Spell Proficiency.
