Everyone present knew.

How much Vinson Wright valued his friends.

He had even given up the chance to enter Gryffindor House during the Sorting Ceremony for this very reason, choosing to join Hufflepuff House instead, which had never been particularly outstanding at Hogwarts.

"I'm sorry!"

The dark-skinned girl from Gryffindor stepped forward again, looking very responsible. "This was my mistake. If you think there's anything..."

"There's no need for apologies."

Vinson Wright impatiently interrupted her, his face cold. "If apologies were useful, why would we be here learning magic?"

"Then what do you want?"

The Black girl couldn't help but frown.

She had a fiery temper, and she would admit her mistakes, but what was Vinson Wright's point?

"This attitude..."

Vinson's gaze fixed on her, and he slowly raised his wand. "It seems you're not very sincere in your apology..."

"No, I'm not..."

The Black girl felt that there seemed to be some misunderstanding and quickly waved her hands, intending to explain.

However...

The ash-haired boy no longer wanted to hear her explanation.

Vinson Wright raised the wand in his hand and pointed it at the sky!

"Incendio."

Accompanied by the muffled sound of Vinson chanting the spell.

A ball of red flame instantly shot up from Vinson's wand, soaring into the sky!

As the flame reached the sky, it rapidly expanded into a giant fireball, and the overwhelming heat made everyone present uneasy!

The next moment!

The fireball exploded in the air like fireworks!

Numerous small fireballs quickly separated and plummeted from the sky!

This guy...

He actually resorted to violence at the slightest disagreement!

And even cast such a large-scale magical attack!

The fireballs in the sky, trailing red tails, traced elegant parabolas, smashing into the crowds of Slytherin and Gryffindor students like meteors!

"Wait..."

A questioning voice suddenly came from the Gryffindor crowd. "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, does it?"

A chorus of doubts also came from the Slytherin crowd. "Hey, Vinson Wright, we didn't injure Cedric! Are you trying to declare war on Slytherin!"

"I don't care."

Vinson Wright waved his wand, controlling the spell to attack all the new students from both houses. "When my friend was injured in this conflict, I wanted the people who caused this conflict to personally feel his pain..."

As Vinson Wright guided them, fireballs struck the square, and young wizards were knocked to the ground by the fireballs, frantically extinguishing the flames on their bodies in terror!

With just one spell!

The young wizards of Gryffindor and Slytherin were completely overwhelmed, unable to find any magic to resist directly!

"Help me! Come and save me!"

"Mom! Dad! I want to go home!"

"Don't be afraid, this is just the Fire Charm, you can pat it out!"

Among the panicked young wizards, there were some who remained clear-headed.

The young wizards who had attended the Charms class with Gryffindor and Slytherin that morning and had previewed the textbook knew that the power of the Fire Charm was not strong!

However, this still couldn't prevent the entire square from descending into chaos.

In fact.

Vinson Wright was only using the simplest Fire Charm, which, if handled properly, would certainly not be life-threatening.

It was just those fireballs raining down from the sky that were too terrifying...

Amidst the cries of fear, a few young wizards with stronger minds ran around helping their classmates extinguish the flames on their wizard robes.

"Vinson."

The Hufflepuff boy who had helped put Cedric to sleep earlier walked over and asked softly, "Although someone injured Cedric just now, many people are innocent, and now they are also injured. Should we go and help..."

Hufflepuff students were indeed kind-hearted.

This Hufflepuff boy's name was Elvin Bones, and he was also the nephew of Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor this year.

"Don't worry, they won't die."

Vinson Wright slowly shook his head and said softly, "However, we also need to find a way to resolve the issue, to prevent such conflicts from happening again in the future..."

"..."

Elvin didn't know what to say.

As long as they don't die, there's no need to worry? Was Vinson acting strange, or was the risk of fighting at Hogwarts always this high?

Vinson looked at the young wizard beside him and continued, "Elvin, do you know why they were fighting today?"

"It seems to be because of you..."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Elvin Bones' face.

The conflict between the new students of Slytherin and Gryffindor at this time was a lingering effect of the Sorting Ceremony a couple of days ago. Because Vinson Wright had refused to join Gryffindor on the spot, Slytherin had gained another reason to mock them.

Gryffindor?

Even dogs wouldn't go there!

Saying something like that was incredibly insulting.

Elvin Bones tried his best to indirectly explain the cause of the conflict to Vinson Wright.

However, as a Hufflepuff, he had to be honest in his words, and Hufflepuff students were usually not eloquent...

From Elvin Bones' very detailed description, Vinson Wright roughly understood that his image in Slytherin wasn't great either.

Who would have thought he'd hit three Slytherin new students on the train?

"Alright..."

Vinson Wright sighed and shook his head. "Since all this conflict was caused by me, then I'll be the one to end it..."

"How will you end it?"

Elvin Bones' young face was full of curiosity.

Vinson Wright didn't answer, he just walked towards the center of the square. Many young wizards present couldn't help but feel a sense of dread seeing his movement.

This dangerous Hufflepuff freshman...

He had just defeated all the new students from two houses with a single spell!

Judging solely by magical power, Vinson Wright was on a completely different level from his first-year classmates!

"Quiet down, I have a few simple words to say."

Vinson Wright spread his arms, signaling everyone to be quiet, and spoke softly, "No one wanted this to happen today, so I've just come up with a solution to prevent the kind of conflict we saw today..."

"..."

Everyone looked at Vinson with renewed curiosity.

This guy had just beaten up new students from two houses, and now he claimed to have a solution for the conflict between Gryffindor and Slytherin?

This was a problem that had stumped people for a century!

Even Headmaster Dumbledore couldn't find a solution!

No Hogwarts Headmaster for over a thousand years had found a suitable method!

However...

They were thinking too much.

"From today onwards..."

Vinson Wright met everyone's gaze and calmly proposed his solution: "To prevent our Hufflepuff classmates from being accidentally injured like Cedric while trying to break up fights in other houses, I hope that students from Gryffindor and Slytherin will refrain from fighting..."

"..."

The young wizards' heads were filled with question marks.

It was somewhat reasonable.

To prevent those who break up fights from getting hurt, they would directly eliminate the fighters.
