Sam Chavez graduated from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1985 and entered the Magical Congress for Auror training in the same year.
In less than a year, he not only learned all the professional knowledge, but also passed the test to become a formal Auror.
He possesses the qualities of a genius, yet his work style is lazy and undisciplined.
Vincent tried his best to restrain his choice of words.
"Mr. Bradley Graves once said that as long as he maintains the seriousness and focus he has when on a mission, he can become the Head of the Auror Office before he turns thirty."
With a massive number of tasks to complete every day, Sam is able to successfully handle each one, making him the epitome of efficiency.
Siluke
Although you may occasionally cause some minor troubles, having ability is always better than having no ability.
With an incredibly impressive resume, his appearance will not only bring surprises but also add a new climax to the grand opening of the Gwent flagship store today.
"It's just a low-probability event." Vincent glanced at the clock on the wall, his expression growing increasingly unnatural.
"Maybe he has some kind of hero complex; he'll definitely show up when it's almost time."
"Tick-tock—" Only the sound of the mechanical second hand turning could be heard in the store.
Not only Hermione hesitated several times before speaking, but Hayahiko and Meiko did the same.
The idea was wonderful, but reality was cruel.
8:55.
Vincent stood up with a stiff upper lip. "We can't wait for him. The Abe and Ashiya families should have arrived by now."
Kenny, wanting to laugh but not daring to, followed behind the Jingu couple with his head bowed.
Marietta suddenly felt her little bit of inferiority complex disappear.
Even the most outstanding people have minor flaws and oversights, just like normal people.
She's under no pressure now and looks much more radiant than before.
From the moment he stepped outside the store, Vincent's expression revealed no flaws.
He faced the reporters' cameras with his face turned towards them, standing side by side with Hayahiko.
His demeanor and bearing were completely unlike someone who had just suffered a setback.
"Mr. Wayne, may I ask you a question?"
"Of course, but we'll have to wait until our flagship store opens."
After a brief exchange, gasps of surprise suddenly arose from the crowd.
Abe Family arrived at the residence, dressed in a white Kariginu and wearing a tall Eboshi.
The gentle-looking middle-aged man at the front should be the current principal of the Magic Institute, Abe Ugen.
They made way for each other through the crowd.
"Vincent, we meet again." Aoi Sora extended his right hand.
"Welcome, Aoi Sora." Vincent shook his hand. "And your family too."
Hayahiko shook hands with Yuxuan, saying, "Principal Abe, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the opening ceremony of our shop."
"We certainly can't miss such a grand event in the Wizarding World."
Compared to these four, Rinne, Mio, and Nao seemed a bit stiff.
Overall, there's nothing seriously wrong with it, and the fake smile in the photos looks quite natural.
After Abe came Ashiya.
As the Minister for Magic, Ashiya Takuma has his own kind of pomp and circumstance.
Ten elite law enforcement officers walked on either side, and the beautiful woman behind them should be his wife, Ashiya Mie.
The three siblings each had a different expression.
The eldest brother, Hirakawa, is solemn and dignified. He looks like his mother but his personality is very much like his father's.
Second Sister Meisa's eyes were unfriendly, as if she found fault with everything about her.
My younger brother Kenji is like a curious child; his gaze focuses on one place and then quickly moves to another.
"Ashiya Department Head!" Hayahiko and Yuxuan both showed the appropriate enthusiasm.
"Hello, both of you." Takuma nodded to Vincent.
Nicolas Flamel's "death" remains a secret to this day, and no shrewd politician would dare to reveal it rashly.
It's just a little bit of affection; it won't affect anything.
In the Japanese Wizarding World, it's not common to send wreaths for opening ceremonies; instead, they set off magical firecrackers with petal effects.
Next to the sign covered by a red curtain, four coils of these firecrackers were wrapped around it.
Vincent, Hayahiko, Yuxuan, Takuma all drew their wands ahead of time.
When it was 9 a. m., their wands all lit up.
Accompanied by crackling sounds, petals of various colors floated into the sky from the exploding firecrackers and then fell back down.
There are cherry blossoms, camellias, camellias, wild jasmine, and others.
Reporters with cameras frantically pressed the shutter, capturing the black sign with gold lettering that appeared as the red curtain fell, reading "Gwent Flagship Store in Japan" in both Japanese and English.
The veil of mystery was lifted, revealing a Japanese-style interior design to everyone.
Like the dango shop at the Shingu Family's store, the seats at the Gwent flagship store are separated by magical screens.
The all-wood structure, simple and open layout, and leisurely and tranquil atmosphere create a sense of peace and comfort.
Although there is no gacha pool yet, the current experience is perfect.
Kenji couldn't wait to pick up a Gwent book from the display case as soon as he went inside.
He didn't miss a single one of the exquisitely crafted cards.
Aoi Sora glanced at it briefly and understood that Gwent were made of a special metal, combined with a slightly difficult Transfiguration.
"May I take it out and have a look?"
Vincent raised his hand to indicate, "Of course, no problem. The purpose of the flagship store is not only to provide trial play, but also to allow everyone to intuitively understand Gwent."
Lost in thought, Aoi Sora drew out a Nine-Tailed Fox card.
It's not a realistic, anthropomorphic style, but rather an impressionistic, ink-wash style.
It's similar to the previous cute art style, but it doesn't feel too abrupt.
It has a delicate feel and is very lightweight, making it a very suitable metal.
He couldn't guess the specific ingredients, but he knew it must contain copper, which has excellent ductility.
Alchemy has always been a weakness of Japanese sorcerers. Although they can analyze the specific ingredients, they cannot replicate it without a complete formula.
While listening to Hayahiko's introduction, Yuxuan kept a close eye on her youngest son's performance.
It's not the opponent being too strong that's the problem; the problem is being afraid to face the opponent because they're too strong.
He was very satisfied until Aoi Sora put the card back into the collection.
After visiting the area, the Ashiya family gained a deeper understanding of Gwent.
First of all, it really has no age or gender threshold, and even removing the Transfiguration can make it popular in a world without magicians.
The rules are simple and easy to understand; you can learn them after watching just a couple of games.
The balance is also well done; there is no invincible effect.
Takuma could already foresee the scenario of Gwent sweeping through the Japanese Wizarding World.
Just watch helplessly?
Unlike Yuxuan, he has to consider many aspects.
A dominant player means a monopoly, and it also means that prices can be manipulated at any time.
However, judging from the price of 1 Galleon for 10 units, Vincent is not one of those profit-driven businessmen.
On the contrary, the Shingu Family...
"Honey, aren't you going to try it out?" Mie picked up the picture book from his hand. "This is a rare opportunity to relax."
"No." Takuma shook his head gently. "There are many things waiting for me to deal with in the department, and I haven't decided whether to continue to restrict the Shingu Family."
Mie looked at Vincent, "Darling, with his help and the Gwent, the Shingu Family will eventually extend their reach into the Ministry of Magic."
She stated it casually, as if stating a fact. "They can easily corrupt the minds of officials, and if we don't take precautions in advance, the Wizarding World may face an unprecedented upheaval."
It might sound alarmist, but it's not entirely impossible.
But Takuma suddenly frowned and said, "Mie, I don't want you to act on your own like you did last time."
"Although you are in charge of all the family's affairs, I hope you can continue to maintain the balance that has been maintained for hundreds of years, as long as the Shingu Family does not overstep its bounds."
Mie met his extremely serious gaze, "Darling, of course I will support any decision you make."
