The second term of sixth year

Will cleared his throat. "Why are you all staring at me?"

"Will, you—" Harry looked a little dazed, "You seem a little different?"

"What difference could there be?" Will chuckled softly. "Maybe it's just that you've missed me a little after not seeing me for a few days?"

Although it didn't sound very plausible, everyone seemed to believe Will's explanation.

Who would doubt a kind and loyal friend?

Would Will lie to them?

"I'm going to take a short break. Well then, everyone, see you later." Will prepared to head back to the Room of Requirement to sort out his situation.

"Ahem," Sylvia stood up, feigning displeasure, "Grand Wizard Mr. Behrens doesn't seem to want to spend much time with me, does he?"

"How could that be?" Will smiled gently.

Sylvia's face flushed, and she quickly followed Will to his side.

After Will left, Harry and the others slowly came to their senses and recalled what had just happened with some surprise and doubt.

In the Room of Requirement, Will was having a headache—the effects of Charisma now seemed too powerful and too bizarre.

Leaving aside the young Wizard in the High Tower, whose Magic abilities are, after all, limited.

And Dumbledore?

Will didn't think that Dumbledore, who had already reached the pinnacle of the Wizarding World, would be unaware of his own problem.

"Will, what have you been doing these past few days?" Sylvia interrupted Will's thoughts.

She rested her chin on her hands, her eyes fixed on Will, the burning tenderness within them seeming to consume Will completely.

Will had a strange feeling—for a fleeting moment, he felt as if Sylvia wanted to devour him.

"As usual, I'm doing some Magic research."

You're quite different from usual now...

"Perhaps in some areas, I've made some major breakthroughs." Will nodded seriously.

"Oh? Shouldn't you relax a bit then, my dear Grand Wizard?"

Will looked into Sylvia's eyes, which were practically glued to his face, and realized that his words might not be very convincing.

He immediately replied, "Well... actually, I plan to do a few more days of research before the semester starts."

"I don't object to you doing this, darling, but you have to stay with me today." Unlike her usual gentle demeanor, Sylvia was quite assertive today.

Just as Will was about to say something, Sylvia had already latched onto him...

A moment later, Will looked at Sylvia lying on the bed, fast asleep, and felt a headache coming on— Sylvia didn't look like she was going to kiss him; Sylvia looked more like she wanted to devour him.

With no other option, Will could only use Sleeping Charm to make Sylvia sleep soundly.

This way, Will will be able to examine his own situation.

Time flies, and the night passed quickly.

After Will, Will finally focused on the Bonus Ability of Charisma Level 5: True Mask MAX.

Will's ability to True Mask makes it easier for Will to gain the trust of others, and once others trust Will, they subconsciously reflect the traits they admire or are most familiar with.

After the True Mask is upgraded to MAX, he can also actively influence others, allowing them to see certain traits they want to see.

Will plans to replicate himself using True Mask —that is, to slightly conceal his Charisma.

With the idea in mind, Will immediately began experimenting.

Will was already quite adept at using the Charisma's Bonus Ability, and he was also very skilled at using the True Mask. Otherwise, Voldemort wouldn't have gone to such lengths, actually treating Will as a replica of himself.

Will made good progress; he eventually used quite a few of the Dark Wizard's Test Subject.

To this end, he also altered the memories of the Test Subject —now those Test Subject have completely forgotten that it was Will who captured them.

In fact, after Will reconstructed the memories of these test subjects, they all regarded Will as their loyal friend.

Completely unaware that Will, their "best friend," had been using them for research on Charisma.

After several days of intense experiments, some of the Dark Wizard who were used as test subjects have developed memory problems, and some have even experienced cognitive disorder.

But all of this made sense; Will's condition "stabilized."

A few days later, when Will walked out of the Room of Requirement, he was finally much more normal than usual. Although the people in the High Tower still insisted that Will "become even more handsome," everyone had become much more composed.

Although Neville was puzzled as to why he had seen "holy light" the moment he saw Will a few days ago, he did not press the matter for an answer.

Because Will had always been a very high figure in his mind.

The same is often true for the other people in the High Tower.

As for Sylvia... the poor girl really wanted to eat Will, but she failed.

It seemed like a perfect ending, if not for Sylvia's slightly displeased displeasure.

In the last few days of his vacation, Will finally had time to continue his studies in Soul Studies —he memorized the knowledge of the Soul Studies he had received from Voldemort.

Will had been busy with other things and didn't have time for a while, but now that he had some free time, Will naturally wrote everything down in his notebook and began to understand and learn from it.

During the last few days of his vacation, Will once again immersed himself in books.

He had been working tirelessly for the past few days, relying on Clear-Headed Charm and Felix Charm to keep going, and he recorded all the obscure knowledge left behind by Voldemort.

The notes on Soul Studies filled three whole notebooks—and these things had to be kept well hidden; if Dumbledore saw them, it would probably give him a real shock.

After all, this wasn't ordinary Magical Theory, but rather the Soul Studies that Dumbledore opposed, and it was also the Soul Studies knowledge that Voldemort possessed.

Voldemort had a deep understanding of the Soul Studies, and he had his own set of insights into the connection between the body, soul, and Magic.

This did Will a huge favor— Scrimgeour is probably saved.

With the support of these theories, Will's previous experiments in the Soul Studies were able to proceed more smoothly.

However, he didn't have time to officially continue the experiment because school started, and the real Dumbledore returned...
