The Riot Begins (Part One)

In the blink of an eye, more than a day had passed outside, while more than ten days had passed inside the Map of Mountains and Seas.

Thousands of students and hundreds of parents were intently watching their respective colleges' Champion from the stands of the Quidditch stadium.

"Are you ready, Asante Boakye?"

Principal Mochizuki Seigen of the Mahoutokoro gave a wink to Principal Asante Boakye of the Uagadou. After receiving an affirmative nod from him, Mochizuki Seigen left the stands and walked towards the back.

The spectators in the stands suddenly felt the sky darken. Looking up, they discovered that a huge stone platform had appeared above the Quidditch Pitch at the Hogwarts Academy, covering the entire Hogwarts Academy.

"Isn't this the stone platform that the Uagadou rode on when they arrived?"

A Hogwarts Academy student shouted.

"Headmaster Asante Boakye, can you explain how your Uagadou Stone Tablet entered Hogwarts Academy without my permission? And what is the meaning of this?"

Headmaster Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.

But Headmaster Asante Boakye did not answer the question. He simply waved his wand, and four beams of light instantly descended from around the stone platform, then merged into a cuboid, tightly surrounding Hogwarts Academy.

"Albus Dumbledore, I have been sent by the great Lucifer Lord Lucifer to destroy Hogwarts Academy today!"

Asante Boakye's voice suddenly changed into a woman's voice. She slowly floated into the air, and black wings sprouted from her back. Her face slowly Transfiguration, one half becoming a beautiful woman's face, and the other half transforming into a completely rotten and disfigured demon.

Hermione, looking down at the woman in mid-air with her empty eye sockets, exposed teeth and bones, torn and rotting flesh, and missing half of her tongue, only able to speak incoherently with the right half of her mouth, felt a wave of nausea wash over her.

"Who are you? Where is the real Headmaster Asante Boakye?" Grindelwald pulled Dumbledore behind him and uttered these words coldly.

"My Mazken, the most loyal guard under Lucifer! As for Asante Boakye, whom you mentioned, he was nothing but a pathetic reptile, long since turned into a delicious meal. It tasted quite good, but don't worry, it'll be your turn soon!"

The six principals below all changed their expressions drastically. They never expected that the usually calm, wise, kind, and polite principal of Uagadou had already met his end.

As Mazken spoke, he slowly opened his hands, and portals leading to Hell slowly opened, from which countless monsters poked their heads out and quickly pounced on the students and parents who were in a state of chaos.

Meanwhile, Wagadu and the parents from the Mahoutokoro also abandoned their pretense, taking advantage of the chaos to defeat everyone around them and gather under Mazken.

Headmaster Dumbledore was furious, and his usually calm face showed a rare expression of anger.

"Professors, parents, prepare for battle immediately! Protect all students at all times!"

At Headmaster Dumbledore's call, the parents, who were initially panicked, calmed down and drew their wands, joining the Hogwarts professors who were nearby to stop the monsters' attack.

"How did they even get in?! Doesn't Hogwarts Academy have defensive barriers?"

A parent shouted from the crowd.

"There must be a traitor. Our permanent protective barrier hasn't been activated, and the alert hasn't even been triggered!"

Professor Flitwick inspected the barrier, while Professor McGonagall began chanting, "Piertotum Locomotor! (Piertotum Locomotor!)"

"I've always wanted to try this spell..." Professor McGonagall said to the professors around her, "Protect the lower-year students during the evacuation! Prefect of each house, organize the upper-year students to begin the defense as well, otherwise we won't have enough manpower. Professor Snape will temporarily lead Slytherin Academy! I'm counting on you, Severus."

Professor Snape nodded after listening and led the Slytherin students to launch a counterattack. Meanwhile, the tutors from the other houses joined their respective houses, moving the younger students around while organizing the older students into a defensive formation.

"Professor Flitwick! I need to Peace Guard and Cave Enemy Detection!" Professor Snape shouted to Flitwick as he unleashed his Sectumsempra.

"Almost done, just wait a little longer! I'm releasing!"

"You will pay for what you have done today!" Grindelwald was never one to talk big. Seeing that a large number of monsters had begun to attack the temporary defensive line formed by the Ministry of Magic members and parents, he used magic to strike Mazken was still in mid-air.

With a loud bang, the spell was blocked by Mazken with one hand. Then Grindelwald felt a sharp sword aura slashing towards him from behind. He rolled and barely dodged the attack.

"Albus, your academy's Anti-Apparition Spell is truly disgusting!"

Startled and covered in a cold sweat, Grindelwald cursed under his breath and looked up in the direction from which the attack had come.

"Lord Grindelwald is still as sharp as ever." Mochizuki Seigen slowly emerged from the shadows, holding a wand in one hand and an ancient samurai sword in the other. He even licked the blade, his cold expression seemingly concealing endless rage.

"Lord Grindelwald, your opponent is not a demon. Get past me first. I've been waiting for almost a year, and today I will prove that the Mahoutokoro of my great empire is the greatest academy in the world!"

With that, Mochizuki Seigen charged toward Grindelwald.

"There are always people who don't take the Dark Lord and the White Lord seriously," Grindelwald sneered, standing up. "Albus, I need to break free of my restraints first. It's been so many years since I've used my full power; it seems some people have forgotten how terrifying I am!"

Grindelwald suddenly began to release a large amount of pressure, which made it difficult for Mochizuki Seigen to advance any further. He stared wide-eyed at the enraged Dark Lord before him, seemingly unable to believe it.

Grindelwald, wand in one hand and a wave of his other, caused the entire stands to Transfiguration, sending countless fragments mixed with rocks and dirt hurtling towards Mochizuki Seigen. "It's been a long time since I've used my full strength. I like this kind of violence! I hope you can take a beating." A cruel smile crept onto Grindelwald's lips.

Dumbledore also unlocked the Apparition of the Sub-Region, and in a flash, he appeared above Mazken, unleashing a Flame Ring.
