Gemini certainly had ways to kill the Three-Headed Dog, but he felt it was hardly worth spending tens of thousands of pounds on an anti-materiel sniper rifle just to kill a dog.

After all, even if he couldn't defeat the Three-Headed Dog, its non-human physique meant it couldn't do anything to him.

However, after smashing through the wall, Gemini suddenly realized how utterly wrong he was.

While their strengths were comparable, their defenses were clearly not on the same level.

As the saying goes, I can make countless mistakes, but you can only make one.

Gemini wouldn't be instantly killed by one mistake, but a claw with that kind of force would still leave him reeling.

Although he wasn't seriously injured, it still hurt quite a bit.

Climbing out of the rubble somewhat disheveled, Gemini's eyes gleamed with excitement.

It might sound a bit twisted, but he genuinely felt exhilarated during his fight with the Three-Headed Dog.

His heart pounded, blood rushed through his veins – Gemini loved that thrilling, blood-pumping feeling of battle.

He raised his hand and tore off his tattered robes and shirt, Gemini grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth.

"Come on then!"

The black giant dog rapidly approached, opening its massive jaws towards Gemini, a foul breath washing over him.

"Soru!"

As if teleporting, Gemini vanished from his spot, dodging the attack of the three dog heads. Then, he powerfully punched the rightmost head.

The Three-Headed Dog reacted quickly. After being hit, it turned and lunged at Gemini.

"Thunderclap Explosion!"

Boom!

A violent explosion erupted, blinding both eyes of its rightmost head.

A pained yelp echoed as Gemini didn't pause. He put his wand back into his storage space, leaped forward, and landed on the Three-Headed Dog's back. Then, he produced two long swords and, before the left head could bite him, plunged the swords into the eyes of the middle head.

With another Soru, he dodged the left head, and Gemini smeared a web-like substance onto that head. Amidst its enraged roars, two more swords were thrust into its remaining two eyes.

Thus, the Three-Headed Dog's six eyes were completely blinded.

The Three-Headed Dog wailed, seemingly anticipating its fate. However, it still had strength and could track by scent. It intended to drag Gemini down to hell with it before dying.

All three massive mouths lunged at Gemini simultaneously. Gemini ducked, backflipped, and in a fluid motion, tossed three high-explosive grenades into the three gaping mouths.

The moment they created distance, explosions rang out. The Three-Headed Dog struggled forward a couple of steps, but soon collapsed onto the ground, its three massive heads drooping powerlessly.

The three grenades exploded within its three windpipes, extinguishing its life.

The corridor was now a mess. Two trolls and the corpse of the Three-Headed Dog blocked the path, littered with rubble, presenting a rather spectacular sight.

Gemini panted, sitting down on the ground. The fight had drained a lot of his stamina in just a short time, especially after taking a swipe from the Three-Headed Dog.

Less than a minute later, footsteps finally echoed from the end of the corridor. Professor McGonagall, pale-faced, ran quickly, followed by a large group of professors. Almost all the teachers, except Snape and Dumbledore, had rushed over.

"Oh—"

Upon seeing the corpse of the Three-Headed Dog, Professor McGonagall's steps faltered, and she covered her mouth.

"Gemini!" Hermione, the little girl, darted out from behind Professor McGonagall, rushed forward, and hugged Gemini, unable to help but sob, "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

"Why are you saying sorry? Did you do something to wrong me?" Gemini smiled gently, then his brow suddenly furrowed, "Did Crabbe and Goyle touch my baked potato?"

"No, it's not... uh..." Hermione's emotions became a bit jumbled by his question, and she stammered, "I... I mean, it's because of me that you encountered this."

"Oh, then it's fine, nothing to be sorry about." Gemini waved his hand dismissively.

"What on earth is going on?" Professor McGonagall looked at the mess behind Gemini with a pale face, then sternly at Fox, "Mr. Fox, is this your doing?"

Judging by her tone...

She's not going to ask me to pay for damages, is she?

Gemini hesitated for a moment, "They made the first move, Professor."

"I wasn't asking you that! Oh, heavens... it's good you're alright. How could you be so daring?"

Professor McGonagall said with a trembling voice, stepping forward to grab Gemini and check him over. Finding that he was indeed unharmed, she gently hugged him.

"Miss Granger has already told us that you saved her and stopped these monsters. Professor McGonagall looked at Gemini's handsome young face with satisfaction. "Great power, extraordinary courage. As a first-year student, you killed a Three-Headed Dog and two Trolls. You've earned Slytherin fifty points, and I'll inform Professor Dumbledore about this."

"Uh... Quirrell..."

"Professor Dumbledore has already gone there. That scoundrel won't get away." Professor McGonagall's tone was ferocious, as if she could eat someone...

A while later, in the Slytherin common room.

Under the awestruck gazes of everyone in the room, Gemini stuffed food into his mouth, his small mouth full of baked potato and steak.

He hadn't eaten dinner and had just fought a life-or-death battle with a Three-Headed Dog, so he was starving.

Due to the evening's unexpected events, the students had been temporarily evacuated to their dormitories, and dinner was delivered directly to the common room. Thus, Gemini, who hadn't been back in eight hundred years, had to come here to eat.

"So, you really stopped a Three-Headed Dog and two Trolls?" Draco looked at Gemini with utter admiration.

"Well... I suppose I did stop them." Gemini tore off a piece of beef jerky. The jerky was sent by Draco's mother, and in Britain, it was incredibly expensive.

"How did you do it?" Draco looked at Gemini with increasing reverence. "How did you stop them?"

As soon as the words fell, the little snakes around them all perked up their ears, wanting to know the answer from Gemini.

"I killed them all, naturally, that's how I stopped them."

Draco: "……"

You make so much sense, I'm utterly speechless!

How did you get a score of 99? You only needed to get one multiple-choice question wrong.

Hark! Can you hear the people?

A figure pushed through the crowd. Marcus looked at Gemini, his face deathly pale. Behind him were the older students who had previously ganged up on Gemini.

"Gemini, we're truly sorry about what happened before." Marcus lowered his head. "If you can forgive us, I'm willing to pay any price."

Gemini: "……"

He looked around and then realized that most of the Slytherin little snakes were looking at him with awe, surrounding the sofa he was sitting on like stars around the moon.

So… what exactly was this situation, like being the king of the campus?
