Entry System, Magic Prodigy!

Devero was stunned by the sound.

Could this be the golden finger prepared for me?

It's arrived way too late!

[Ding!]

[Novice gift pack has been distributed!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the trait: Magic Prodigy (Unique)]

[Magic Prodigy (Unique): You are the person with the strongest learning ability in the magical world. There is no magic you cannot learn; you master every spell at a single glance.]

Devero stared blankly at the information.

This was too absurd!

Did I accidentally open a bottle of Blurry Phantom Potion last night?

With this setting, wouldn't he be able to Apparate just by watching someone else do it?

Could he transform into an animal just by watching Professor McGonagall's Animagus form?

This was simply too awesome!

And this "Unique" tag didn't seem to have any color.

Does that mean...

That he is the only person in the entire world who possesses this trait!?

[Ding!]

[Panel loading complete. The host may inspect it at will!]

[Host: Devero Alexander]

[Age: 11]

[Identity: Unenrolled Hogwarts freshman, Potion Apprentice]

[Spell Library: None]

[Equipped Traits: Transmigrator (Unique), Magic Prodigy (Unique), Potion Perception (Blue)]

[Trait Library: Unique (2), Red (0), Gold (0), Purple (0), Blue (1), Green (0), White (0)]

[Pet: None]

[Items: None]

[Secret Realm Exploration Count: 0]

[Transmigrator (Unique): You are the only transmigrator in this world, protected by a great existence. No one can peer into your past or future, and no one can inspect your memories! Causality cannot lock onto you!]

[Potion Perception (Blue): Possess an innate, keen intuition for potions, capable of basically distinguishing the properties and effects of any potion. This ability makes you more adept at handling and identifying various potions.]

Cannot inspect memories?

I'm a natural master of Occlumency!

This Transmigrator trait is too terrifying!

And I can't be locked by causality.

Does that mean my future cannot be prophesied?

Come to think of it.

So that's why I have a trait like Potion Perception.

No wonder I could quickly distinguish between different types of potions.

Looking at his traits, Devero was filled with excitement.

He hadn't even really looked at the contents of the envelope.

Snape frowned slightly.

He snatched the envelope away.

"Alright, stop dawdling. We'll set off once you've finished breakfast."

Devero was still in shock from receiving the system.

He looked up at Snape.

Instantly, Snape's traits appeared before him.

[Name: Snape]

[Age: 32]

[Spell Library: Occlumency (Unrivaled), Sectumsempra (Proficient),...]

[Traits: Potion Prodigy (Gold), Magical Talent (Purple), Atoner (Purple)]

[Potion Prodigy (Gold): Born for potions, progress in potion research is lightning-fast, destined to become a master of potions for a generation.]

[Magical Talent (Purple): Possesses magical aptitude exceeding that of an average wizard; the speed of learning spells surpasses ordinary people, while also possessing a certain degree of creativity.]

[Atoner (Purple): Burdened by sin, living every moment to repay one's own transgressions; possesses extraordinary willpower, strengthening certain spell effects to a degree.]

Oh my god!!

Professor Snape truly lives up to his reputation as the youngest professor at Hogwarts!

Every trait he possesses is of Purple rank or higher.

Not to mention his countless spell reserves.

If Professor Snape were to demonstrate all of these in front of me.

Hehehe.

I dare not even imagine it.

That Potion Prodigy trait must be the direct superior version of my Potion Perception.

And this Magical Talent (Purple) should be the inferior version of my Magic Prodigy.

As for the Atoner trait.

Hmm.

Nothing to say; if it weren't for the sake of atonement.

Snape probably wouldn't have been able to make such a great sacrifice as he did in the original work.

But the most important thing is!

He can actually load and copy all three of these traits!

"I'll leave the Atoner trait aside for now; I don't want to carry such a heavy burden. But come to think of it, can this unique trait be copied? If I copy it, won't it become the second of its kind?"

Of course, Devero doesn't care about that right now.

He immediately loads the other two traits!

[Ding!]

[Loading and copying trait: Potion Prodigy (Gold)...]

[Loading and copying trait: Magical Talent (Purple)...]

[Copying complete!]

In an instant!

Devero feels his body has become somewhat different from a moment ago.

But he can't quite put his finger on it.

It feels like a form of perception.

The potion knowledge he had learned before now seems to have become much more vivid.

That's right.

It's just like when he obtained the Magic Prodigy trait earlier!

He now has a feeling of his entire being sublimating!

And Devero discovers that this trait copying actually has a cooldown?

[Trait Copy Cooldown: Gold (6 days 23 hours), Purple (23 hours)]

Devero takes a closer look.

It turns out that loading traits of different ranks from others carries different cooldown times.

Gold traits are seven days.

Purple traits are one day.

Blue traits are one hour.

Green traits are one minute.

White traits have no time limit.

Devero looks at these time restrictions, lost in thought.

Thump!

A wave of dizziness hits.

Devero clutches his head in pain.

"Stop daydreaming and eat your breakfast."

Snape lowered the hand he had just used to rap Devero on the head.

He continued with his own breakfast.

Devero rubbed his head.

He felt like crying, but had no tears.

Sigh.

Even with such a powerful cheat, did he still have to submit to Snape?

Caught between excitement and misery, Devero finished his breakfast alongside the oblivious Snape.

"Hey, did you know? This is the year that The Boy Who Lived goes to Hogwarts."

"How could I not? He'll definitely be coming to Diagon Alley soon. I really want to meet him; if I could just shake his hand, I'd faint from excitement!"

"It's true. If he hadn't defeated the Mysterious Man, we wouldn't have such peaceful lives."

A few customers had already arrived at the pub.

They were discussing the hottest topic of the moment.

The Boy Who Lived was starting school!

Devero had grown tired of hearing about it over the last two days.

He turned to thank Tom.

The friendly pub owner smiled slightly.

Then, Devero hoisted his trunk—which was nearly as tall as he was—and headed outside.

Just then, Snape suddenly drew his wand.

It was made of birch wood.

He tapped it lightly against Devero's trunk.

Instantly, the trunk became incredibly light.

Devero could have easily lifted it over his head!

Of course, he didn't dare do so.

At that moment.

[Ding!]

[New spell successfully added to library!]

[Host may view it on the attribute panel!]

Devero was stunned.

Details of a certain spell seemed to flood his mind!

He was overjoyed in an instant.

This must be the effect of his Magic Prodigy trait!

He immediately summoned the attribute panel in his mind.

Sure enough, a spell had been added!

[Spell Library: Levitation Charm (Novice/Non-verbal version)]

It was actually a non-verbal spell!

That was right.

When Snape cast the spell just now, he had used a non-verbal incantation!

So, he must be able to instantly learn any spell cast in his presence.

Devero couldn't wait to try it out.

However, he discovered to his disappointment that he didn't have a wand...

Snape had only used the non-verbal version, not the wandless version.

Devero had no choice but to hurry and catch up with Snape, who had already passed the bar.

After all, today was the day he was going to buy the supplies he needed for Hogwarts.

The wand was, naturally, indispensable.

They arrived in a small, walled-in courtyard.

Devero felt a flicker of excitement.

After all, Snape had never brought him to Diagon Alley before.

He was quite thrilled to finally witness the most famous commercial street in the British wizarding world!

Snape, his expression unreadable, pointed his wand at the third brick from the left, two bricks up from the ground.

He tapped it three times.

The brick he had struck began to tremble and shift.

A small hole appeared in the center.

The opening grew larger and larger.

Until it formed an archway wide enough for a grown man to pass through.

Looking through it, one could see a winding, cobblestone street.

[Ding!]

[Wizard Secret Realm discovered, exploration function triggered!]
