"..."

A group of people looked at each other.

All the Hufflepuff students were standing up for Vinson, so how could he still be in the mood to eat at a time like this! This was no time for eating!

Even though everyone knew eating was important...

Some things were clearly more important than eating!

The Slytherin dining area had quieted down considerably. Many students had also stood up and were confronting the Hufflepuff students, thinking another conflict might erupt...

Now, when the Slytherin students heard Vinson's words, it instantly caused another burst of laughter, and they looked provocatively at everyone from Hufflepuff.

"..."

The Hufflepuff students glared at Slytherin, while occasionally looking at Vinson, who remained seated like a mountain, feeling a mix of disappointment and frustration.

But...

They didn't know what to say either.

Were they supposed to say to Vinson at this moment, "We're all helping you, why are you only thinking about eating?"

It didn't make sense to say that...

Because there was nothing wrong with a Hufflepuff student eating seriously.

Vinson Wright remained unfazed by everyone's gazes. He just slowly chewed and swallowed the bite of apple, even picking up his napkin and seriously wiping his mouth.

Perhaps...

This was his Social Butterfly Syndrome acting up from his past life?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Vinson continued to do what he wanted.

This large-scale conflict that could have erupted was subtly beginning to dissipate due to Vinson Wright's calmness. Seeing that the person at the center of the storm remained unmoved, the students from both houses were about to sit down and eat again.

"Hey."

Just as everyone was sitting down, Vinson Wright suddenly spoke loudly. He looked up at the Slytherin students, his voice tinged with displeasure: "Slytherins, who told you to sit down?"

"..."

It was just as they expected!

Vinson Wright's courage and bravery were even greater than those of the Gryffindor students. How could such a person back down...

Vinson Wright, this new student, seemed to be very skilled at provoking others.

He said it in the most ordinary tone, yet when these words came from his mouth, they felt more infuriating to the Slytherins than a hundred curses.

"What did you say!"

"Are you trying to cause trouble again, you brat!"

"Who do you think you are!"

The entire Slytherin house was instantly enraged by him!

The students of the entire Slytherin house didn't know whether they should sit down or continue standing. The upbringing and etiquette they had learned since childhood were instantly drowned out by their anger!

What about maintaining the demeanor of pure-blood wizards!

What about maintaining the composure not to be provoked by enemies!

What about fighting and brawling being the most undignified actions!

To hell with it all!

Right now, they just wanted to kill Vinson Wright, this little brat!

Every Slytherin student glared furiously at Vinson Wright. One impulsive student even directly cast a spell!

Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students immediately left their tables and moved to the side of the Great Hall, trying to avoid this unwarranted disaster!

As the first student made a move...

The students of Slytherin and Hufflepuff instantly drew their wands!

"Don't fight…"

Vinson Wright tried to stop his Hufflepuff classmates.

If he had to fight the entire Slytherin house alone, Vinson wasn't really worried; but if the entire Hufflepuff house went up against Slytherin, it would be hard to control the situation!

Magic...

Could easily lead to accidents!

However, how could the Hufflepuff students stand by and watch Slytherin bully a little badger!

The entire Great Hall immediately turned into their battlefield. Spells flew everywhere, and students hit by spells could be seen all around!

Innocent students from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were inevitably caught in the crossfire!

This was an unprecedented chaos!

Many Gryffindor students even secretly joined in, quietly taking out their wands and occasionally casting spells at their rivals...

Until the Hogwarts Great Hall completely devolved into a chaotic brawl among hundreds of students, Vinson Wright was forced to raise his wand and point it at the starry ceiling of the Great Hall!

A clear voice echoed through the hall!

"Petrificus Totalus!"

A Petrifying Charm flew from Vinson's wand!

The magic power Vinson Wright unleashed with this Petrificus Totalus was like tidal waves, instantly sweeping across the entire Great Hall and covering everything within its space!

All the students were frozen in place by the Petrifying Charm!

Whether it was Slytherin House, Ravenclaw House, Gryffindor House, or even Hufflepuff House, their bodies were instantly immobilized by the magic of this Petrifying Charm!

Everyone's movements stopped in an instant!

Time itself seemed to have stopped at that moment!

Everyone's posture was frozen in their previous action, their bodies stiff as stone, unable to move even an inch, longing to even blink.

The Great Hall, which had been a scene of noisy chaos, instantly fell silent.

If not for the students standing in various bizarre poses throughout the Great Hall, unable to move, some might have thought Hogwarts was on holiday today...

No one could have imagined...

That Vinson Wright would freeze all the students with a simple Petrificus Totalus!

Even any Professor who appeared here could only marvel at the power of this Petrifying Charm; few people in the entire Wizarding World could achieve such a feat!

Even a Wizard like Vinson Wright, with his abundant magic, had reached over 2,700 Magic Power Value during this period, comparable to five ordinary Aurors. Yet, all that magic was instantly depleted in this single second!

Vinson Wright could clearly feel his brain starting to lag after his magic was drained, his spirit feeling as if it had been directly sucked dry by the Petrifying Charm. Fortunately, the completion of a series of System Combat Missions provided him with a significant amount of magic, which slowly dispelled his groggy feeling...

This was Vinson's first time going all out.

However, the Petrificus Totalus he used wouldn't last long.

Because there were quite a few senior students, they might only need a few minutes to break free from this curse.

If they hadn't been caught off guard, they could have prepared their defenses before Vinson cast the spell, thus avoiding being affected by the Petrificus Totalus.

In order to ensure the spell's range, Vinson Wright had to sacrifice its intensity, an unavoidable outcome.

Fortunately.

This powerful Petrificus Totalus was successful.

The students from every House present were stunned by the immense power of this Petrifying Charm!

What kind of damned new student was this Vinson Wright?

He seemed like a slacker during spell-learning classes, yet the spells he cast were monstrously powerful!

At this very moment.

Vinson Wright had no time to care about anything else.

This was not over yet; he still needed to replenish his magic.

Vinson Wright took a deep breath, slowly stepped back a few paces, leaned against a table, picked up the fruit on it, and began to gnaw on it to recover his magic.

Now...

Vinson could only rely on Void Feast to restore his magic.

Because Vinson currently didn't even have enough magic to dispel the Petrifying Charm.

If any senior Slytherin student present had managed to avoid being frozen by Vinson's Petrificus Totalus, or had already broken free, this might have been their best chance to defeat Vinson.

Of course...

It was also possible they would witness the rise of a melee mage.

Because Vinson would likely send them to the school infirmary with his fists.

"..."

Many people present felt their eyesight was failing them.

What was with this kid eating fruit?

Why was Vinson eating again at this moment!

Wasn't the most important thing for Vinson Wright to do now to break everyone's Petrifying Charm? Why was he leaning against a table eating fruit in front of so many people!

"Everyone, take a short break..."

Under the gaze of the frozen students, Vinson Wright continued while biting into his fruit to recover magic, "Oh, right, everyone saw it today, Slytherin made the first move..."

Vinson was supposed to be the victim...

Why did I suddenly feel like Vinson was a villain, it must be an illusion...

Right.

Hermione had also used this kind of Petrificus Totalus in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, when she froze a bunch of house-elves.

Last round...

Exciting
