At the breakfast table the next day, Allen saw his older brother Albert.

After exchanging morning greetings, Albert asked first, "Allen, I heard you won a Neptune? May I take a look at it later?"

"Yes, of course you can, Albert."

"Allen did a wonderful job. This morning's Daily Prophet even reported on Allen's prize-winning process. It's truly remarkable." Mr. Harris flicked the newspaper in his hand.

"Dad, I want to see it," Lenn chimed in.

"Me too, me too!" Emily, already acting as her brother's little fan, ran to her father's side, scrambling to get a look.

"Emily, can you even understand it?" Lenn teased his sister mischievously.

"I don't understand it, but it has a picture of brother Allen on it," Emily replied with righteous confidence.

Mr. Harris handed the paper to Lenn, and Allen looked on from the side.

The article described the process of him winning the prize and included a large photograph. In it, Allen was smiling while holding the Neptune, and the freckles on Ron's face next to him were clearly visible.

"Breakfast is served, breakfast is served," Mrs. Harris directed the arrival of breakfast in front of everyone in high spirits.

"Grilled tomatoes, bacon, Danish rolls, oatmeal—what a feast!" little Emily sighed with satisfaction.

Allen took a fierce bite of a grilled tomato, feeling a sense of despair in his heart regarding his future diet.

After breakfast, Allen made an excuse about needing to do homework and returned to his room. After locking the door, he summoned the system.

"Super Scholar System at your service," an ethereal voice rang out in his mind.

"Open storage space."

The storage space appeared before Allen, containing four items: a roll of parchment tied with a red ribbon, a wizard robe, and two books.

Allen already knew the parchment was the "Invincible Aura," so he selected the wizard robe.

Without a doubt, this was a magnificent wizard robe. The black velvet fabric was incredibly smooth, with a mysterious black luster shimmering faintly. It was trimmed with three-finger-wide silver edging, upon which were engraved runes Allen could not decipher.

"What functions does this robe have?"

As soon as he thought this, a functional description appeared beneath the robe's storage slot.

"Miaomiao Wizard Robe!"

Seeing the name, Allen couldn't help but complain—what a silly, cute name!

Miaomiao Wizard Robe: Can transform into any attire you desire. Includes automatic stain-removal magic, invisibility magic (invisibility three times a day, half an hour each time, non-cumulative), transformation magic, and defensive magic (can deflect ordinary hexes).

Allen immediately took off his clothes and put on the wizard robe.

The smooth touch soothed his skin; it was so lightweight it felt as if he were wearing nothing at all.

Allen thought for a moment and transformed the Miaomiao Wizard Robe into the appearance of the clothes he had just been wearing.

He casually poured a cup of black tea over himself. The water stains were very distinct, and the robe dripped with moisture, but miraculously, he felt no dampness or discomfort at all, as if a thin film were insulating him.

With a thought of "Clean," the previously soaked robe instantly dried, leaving not a single water stain.

The entire outfit became clean and tidy; the collar of his shirt stood tall and crisp against his neck as if it had been ironed, and the clothes fit perfectly.

Allen then chose one of the books. It was very thick, and its vermilion cover was decorated with a compass-like ornament. This was a combination lock that could be set with a seven-digit code. Allen thought about how the number 7 held a special existence in the Harry Potter world, so he set it to "7777777."

Opening the cover, a row of gilded characters was written on the pale yellow, thin parchment: "Encyclopedia of Spells."

The table of contents was divided into six categories: Common, Defensive, Offensive, Dark Arts, Unforgivable Curses, and Others.

Allen flipped to a page at random, which displayed: Common Spells—Alohomora (Unlocking Charm): Alohomora.

It also contained key points for the spell. On the adjacent page, a man dressed in 17th-century British aristocratic attire demonstrated the wand movement over and over again, tirelessly. Touching him with his hand even produced sound, making it easy for the viewer to master the pronunciation of the spell.

This was truly useful.

Allen suppressed his excitement and opened the other book he had obtained yesterday, Spell Application Strategies.

It had a blue leather cover with golden text, and the table of contents indicated the page numbers for various simple spells.

Interestingly, the page numbers were not fixed; occasionally, a new spell would pop up, with information in the introduction about which book the spell came from, who the author was, and so on. Allen guessed that perhaps whenever someone published a new book on spells, this book would automatically record it.

He flipped to a page at random: Sonorus (Amplifying Charm): Sonorus.

Application Strategy: Can be used in public places where you need to attract attention, allowing your voice to resound throughout the venue.

Below it were also notes on how to use the spell and the wand-waving technique. It even provided examples, using case studies to tell the reader about occasions where someone had used this spell.

While reading the case studies, Allen gained a deeper understanding of the magical world.

It wasn't just about spells, but also social customs and local conditions.

Just like that, Allen spent the rest of his vacation hungrily reading these two books.

The text was firmly memorized in Allen's mind, but he still needed to continuously digest and understand the audiovisual materials.

"Allen, can you help me with a spelling test?" Emily knocked on Allen's door.

"Of course, my dear Emily."

As an excellent teacher, Allen was also very happy to tutor this little sister who was so close to him.

After the spelling test, Allen also taught Emily a mnemonic association method to train the little one's memory skills.

After seeing off his enthusiastic sister, Allen had to prepare for the start of the school term, beginning with his homework.

After flipping through all of Allen's textbooks and cross-referencing them with his assignment log, completing all the work was a simple matter.

Being a top student among this group of pupils should be easy enough!

Once Allen finished all his assignments, he poured his energy into the study of charms.

Little did he know, he would receive a surprise tomorrow!
