Ch. 543A Wizard's Battle is a Battle of Magic
Li Weide learned that Zhang San had secured the eastern wizarding world and that Andrews had avenged himself on the Yuriyev Family while placing an ally in control of the Soviet Ministry of Magic. He demonstrated his powerful magical defense, then helped Miravia turn her undead summoning into a combat technique, only for her to demand the unpaid wages she believed Li Weide owed her.
- Zhang San told Li Weide that the hidden families and sects had failed to overcome Hydra Company's defenses, settling the overall situation in the East.
- Andrews reported that the Yuriyev Family had fallen, Ilena had inherited its assets, and he had helped a friend take control of the Soviet Ministry of Magic instead of becoming minister himself.
- Li Weide tested his magically reinforced body by taking Tom's Blast Curse and Sword of Gryffindor without injury, then charged Tom for the Training Ground repairs.
- Li Weide showed Miravia how summoned undead could possess puppets, and she used Transfiguration to create puppets that the undead could control in combat.
- Miravia demanded wages and bonuses from Li Weide, and Andrews claimed they had been issued but left uncollected in the Finance Department.
