Are Hogwarts Freshmen All This Crazy?

Just imagining the scene made Charle's breathing quicken.

If this actually worked, he would call himself the Wizarding World's Little Boy. What he played with was nuclear bombardment.

Even wizards on Dumbledore and Voldemort's level might be taken down by a single combo!

But when Charle asked Deep Blue how many points it would take to continue deducing Apparition in that direction, Deep Blue's reply immediately cooled his excited mind.

"During Apparition, spells cannot be cast if precise positioning and safety are to be ensured."

"Even a simple spell may cause the user to suffer Splinching."

"The more powerful the spell, the greater the danger during Apparition. Even if one is lucky enough not to die, accurate displacement cannot be guaranteed."

"These are two mutually exclusive matters. However, if the host insists on deducing it, the system can proceed, but it will require at least five million Deduction Points."

The figure of five million points left even Charle speechless.

Even if Dak appeared again and dragged Charle into Dream R'lyeh again, Charle would probably have to spend several days eating on that beach to gather that many points.

And that was without even mentioning the Wizarding World. How many wands would he have to make to earn that many points?

Even if he counted every wand the Ollivander Family had ever made throughout its history, it still would not be enough!

Charle sighed regretfully and temporarily gave up on the idea.

As for other directions for further deducing Apparition, such as the Flying Thunder God he had seen in anime, those started at a million points as well, leaving Charle only able to sigh in helpless admiration.

"Knowledge related to space is incredibly useful, but it's fucking expensive too!"

He could only shake his head helplessly and stop considering a third deduction of Apparition for the time being.

The results of these two deductions could be used for both escape and combat, and they would be enough for quite some time.

If he truly wanted another massive improvement, he would have to wait until he had saved enough Deduction Points to advance in that direction.

And at the thought of Deduction Points, Charle's head began to ache.

Having just deduced the Flash Spell, his total Deduction Points had dropped back below thirty thousand.

It looked decent enough, but it was not even enough for the first deduction of the Patronus Charm.

Not to mention that Charle still had many spells and areas of knowledge he wanted to deduce.

For example, Transfiguration, one of the Wizarding World's most profound disciplines, played an indispensable role in both exploring the mysteries of magic and strengthening one's power.

Aside from Horcruxes, the reason Voldemort possessed such immense magical power was that, in the decade after graduating from Hogwarts, he had repeatedly undergone dangerous Dark Transfiguration.

He had gone from a handsome young man to something neither human nor ghost, developing traits of Magical Creatures, but his magical power had also grown so immense that ordinary wizards could only marvel at it from afar.

And magical power happened to be one of Charle's greatest weaknesses at present. He was still a young wizard. Though the spells he possessed were profound and powerful, his body had not developed enough, and his magical power was insufficient, making it difficult for him to cast too many powerful spells.

If he could deduce the kind of Transfiguration Voldemort had undergone, Charle believed his strength would reach a new height.

Or, if he deduced Animagus Transformation and could develop it to the point where he could transform into a Magical Creature, his magical power would soar after transforming as well.

Therefore, Charle was certain to delve into the field of Transfiguration.

There was no need to say how profound this field was. It would definitely consume no small number of Deduction Points.

At the same time, Charle was greatly interested in fields such as Potions and Alchemy.

Magical potions and Alchemical Items were major avenues through which Charle could obtain Deduction Points.

If he could master the methods of brewing Potions and crafting Alchemical Items himself, would that not let him become self-sufficient?

He could even sell some to supplement his Money Bag!

Furthermore, both Potions and Alchemical Items could be useful in battle.

In the long run, they would greatly benefit Charle's development, so they had to be added to his plans.

But the profundity of Potions and Alchemy needed even less explanation.

Both Dumbledore and Voldemort had dabbled in Potions, but when it came time to actually brew one, they still had to rely on Snape, a Potions master.

As for Alchemy, although Dumbledore had achieved the discovery of the Twelve Uses of Dragon Blood, he had not produced any especially outrageous Alchemical Items. The only thing that could barely be considered related was the Deluminator.

It was clear that these two fields were equally massive consumers of Deduction Points.

Not to mention that Charle had always been thinking about R'lyeh and the so-called Great Old Ones. Who knew how many points it would take to deduce knowledge related to those things?

Adding it all up, Charle's head truly felt as though it were about to explode.

Poor!

So damn poor!

The gap in Deduction Points was so enormous that Charle began to make plans.

"Harry Potter hasn't even appeared in Diagon Alley yet, which means there's still some time before Voldemort, possessing Quirrell, breaks into Gringotts in search of the Philosopher's Stone."

"Under normal circumstances, I definitely wouldn't dare set my sights on Gringotts."

"But on the day Voldemort breaks through Gringotts' defenses, I might be able to try taking a share of the spoils."

Thinking of the treasures stored in Gringotts' underground vaults, Charle's gaze turned fiery.

If he pulled off a job like that, how many Deduction Points would he get? It would be enough for Charle to get rich in one stroke!

Naturally, the risks went without saying. Charle still felt that it was not secure enough.

Fortunately, he still had some time.

"Before Quirrell makes his move, I need to obtain as many Deduction Points as possible. At the same time, I need to get my hands on some wizarding spell records. Perhaps they can serve as reference material and reduce the Deduction Point cost."

"If I can raise my strength by another level during that time, I'll follow behind Quirrell and take advantage of the chaos to break into Gringotts!"

With his plan laid out, Charle swept through all ten Deluxe Meals Old Tom had sent over, then rose and headed toward Diagon Alley.

When he passed the brick wall that Professor McGonagall had said was enchanted with profound magic, Charle stopped.

He could not help licking his lips.

To someone whose Deduction Points had nearly run dry, that brick wall was not a brick wall at all. It was practically a feast of delicacies!

Although several figures stood in front of it, staring curiously—judging by their clothing, they were clearly young wizards from Muggle families and their parents—Professor McGonagall was not there, so Charle was not afraid of anyone noticing anything unusual.

The next moment, Charle walked toward the brick wall with a fervent expression, then lovingly kissed it.

"Wizarding World, here I come!"

At that moment, the young wizards' parents standing nearby watched the scene with smiles and murmured among themselves.

"Looking at this child, he should be Muggle-born too, right?"

"He's so enthusiastic. He's adorable. Should we imitate him too? Maybe we can take a picture here as a souvenir?"

As they spoke, Charle deeply kissed another brick.

"Hey, Wizarding World, here I come again."

"Here I come again again."

"Here I come again again again."

"Here I come again again again again!"

The smiles on the young wizards' parents slowly froze.

"???"

"Are Hogwarts freshmen all this crazy?"

"I suddenly feel like sending my child to Hogwarts might have been a mistake..."
