Someone Is Sabotaging the Elemental Magic Academy?

Elemental Magic Academy.

Construction had been completed, along with all the decorations.

It had to be said that the little dwarves were remarkably skilled. In less than half a month, they had completed an academy resembling a Roman arena that could accommodate five hundred people.

At that moment, Katelyle arrived at the Elemental Magic Academy and looked over the academy he had personally helped build.

It was a semicircular Roman arena, or perhaps it could be called a grand theater.

There was a field the size of a football pitch, which Katelyle called the practice grounds.

Since they were learning elemental magic, they had to learn how to cast it, so they needed a sufficiently open space.

The Elemental Magic Academy was a semi-enclosed magical academy. At thirty meters tall, it gave the young wizards plenty of room to fly and fight.

The academy's ceiling could also be opened and closed, according to Katelyle's requirements.

When the weather was good, the ceiling would be opened.

When it rained or the weather turned cold, the ceiling could be closed.

Looking at the scene before him, Katelyle smiled faintly. He then took out his wand and waved it. Magic surged forth as he said, "Light of Hope!"

Magic flew from his wand. A ray of light rose into the air, forming a small sun that illuminated every corner of the Elemental Magic Academy.

"Spirit of Wind, surround me!"

With another spell, Katelyle's body floated into the air like the wind. He stood above the practice grounds, looking down over the entire Elemental Magic Academy.

Holding his wand, Katelyle continuously cast spells. Every spell contained immense energy and spread across the whole Elemental Magic Academy.

Flashes of light and energy soon flickered above the Elemental Magic Academy.

Sensing that energy, Professor McGonagall immediately left her desk and came to the window, looking toward the Elemental Magic Academy.

Severus Snape, who had just emerged from the basement, also turned his gaze toward the Elemental Magic Academy. As he sensed waves of immense magical energy flashing there, his eyes filled with shock.

"As expected of Professor Katelyle, the creator of Elemental Magic Studies. With such strength, he is already fully capable of rivaling the headmaster."

Not far from the Elemental Magic Academy, a figure hid in the darkness behind a tree, revealing half his body as he watched the academy. Not far from him stood three other figures.

"Harry, what a powerful magical disturbance!" Ron Weasley cried out as he sensed the immense energy and watched the flashing light ahead.

"That seems to be the Elemental Magic Academy that's under construction," Hermione Granger said seriously as she looked at the academy.

"Do you think someone might be fighting in there?" Ron suddenly asked in a low voice.

Harry and Hermione froze at his words. The three exchanged glances, then all nodded. "It's highly suspicious!"

"Or maybe someone is deliberately destroying the academy so we can't learn elemental magic," Hermione said suddenly, as if she had thought of something.

"Why?" Harry asked in confusion.

Hermione's expression turned grave. "Haven't you noticed that Professor Quirrell has been acting strangely lately?"

"What does that have to do with the Elemental Magic Academy?" Ron asked, puzzled.

Hermione rolled her eyes at Harry and Ron, then analyzed the matter methodically. "Think about it. Professor Quirrell teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts, but how well does he teach it?"

"It's a complete joke. Even Fred and George can torment Professor Quirrell with snowballs. Oh, the Defense Against the Dark Arts he teaches us is worse than studying on our own."

"Professor Katelyle's elemental magic is so miraculous and so powerful. If you had to choose, whose magic class would you take?"

Harry and Ron nodded at once and answered in unison, "No need to think about it. We'd definitely choose Professor Katelyle."

"Why are your movements so perfectly synchronized?" Hermione said, eyeing Harry and Ron.

"That's not the point. What do you think will happen next?" Ron said, patting Harry on the shoulder with a hint of pride before turning back to Hermione.

"Do you think Professor Quirrell would accept that?" Hermione shrugged and spread her hands.

"Does that even need thinking about?" Hermione said as she looked at Ron, who had fallen into deep thought. She suddenly felt that Ron was truly too foolish.

"Professor Quirrell doesn't want Professor Katelyle to take his job, so he'll destroy the Elemental Magic Academy?" Harry said from the side.

"Good, Harry. You're much smarter than Ron," Hermione said with a smile, giving Harry a thumbs-up.

Hearing Hermione praise Harry while putting him down, Ron pouted unhappily. "It's only because you haven't discovered my talent yet."

"Your talent is just playing wizard chess. What else can you do?" Hermione mercilessly struck back.

Ron instinctively clutched his chest, feeling as though all love had vanished from his life.

Adorable Hermione was actually looking down on my intelligence, even looking down on my talent.

"So Professor Quirrell is sabotaging the Elemental Magic Academy right now?" Harry asked worriedly.

"Very likely. We have to stop him!" Hermione said solemnly.

"But are we any match for Professor Quirrell?" Ron hesitated.

Hermione took out her wand and glared at Ron. "Even your twin brothers can toy with Professor Quirrell. Can't we?"

After saying that, Hermione held her head high and strode forward. Harry smiled and quickly followed her.

Rubbing the back of his head, Ron could not quite figure it out.

How could that be the same?

Fred and George are upper-year wizards now. We're only fledglings who have just become wizards.

Ron did not understand, but he still hurried after Hermione and Harry.

"Hey, you should wait for me. I'm an earth-element mage. I can protect you."

Ron found himself a decent excuse and naturally returned to their group of three.

Hermione snorted and ignored Ron.

Harry smiled at Ron. "Ron, you're such a coward."

"No, I'm just afraid of spiders," Ron said, his face faintly red as he forced himself to remain calm and spoke with solemn seriousness.

Hermione, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and mercilessly said, "Then you're still a coward, a coward who can't even cast the Levitation Charm."

As the trio drew close to the Elemental Magic Academy, they failed to notice a figure watching them from not far behind.

That person then silently followed behind them, drawing closer to the Elemental Magic Academy.
