The Previous Savior
"This woman is no good!" Room of Requirement, Ryan pressed the pause button on the television.
"Huh?" Kate asked at the opportune moment.
She finally has some time to watch TV alone with Ryan.
Why did Ryan's story end so soon, just as things were getting to the climax?
This limbo is unbearable.
"She's trying to lead Harry to choose the 'The Chosen One' option."
"What's wrong with that?" Kate didn't understand.
[The Chosen One] Wow, how cool is that!
And isn't it good that you can save the world?
With the blessing of Affection Power, isn't it amazing to have the opportunity to obtain such power?
"But don't forget the essence of the Affection Power."
In fact, if you compare Harry to an idol...
The Affection Power is the collective power of fans' enthusiasm for their idols.
The so-called development direction is more like a nickname.
Nicknames are all meant to sound nice.
While you may think this nickname is good, you should also consider what the Chosen One looks like in the eyes of the Wizarding World.
Hint: Why would the Chosen One exist?
"The Dark Lord?"
"Yes, this title has been passed down for two generations."
A corresponding the Chosen One was born.
Therefore, rather than being the Chosen One, he should actually be called the nemesis of the Dark Lord.
First, a powerful leader emerged who commanded all the Dark Wizard, threatening the safety of the Wizarding World.
That's why the title of "The Chosen One of wizards" has value.
"Therefore, once the Dark Lord is gone, the Chosen One loses his value."
"Indeed. The core of this title is the power that is born as a natural enemy of that Dark Magic."
The rest of the magic was sanctified.
Your mind is being hijacked; love the world first, then family and friends, and only lastly yourself.
They're all additional.
"This woman wants to turn Harry into this... holy man?"
That woman is truly wicked!
"Vicious? No, it's just because of her upbringing."
She genuinely believed that this was good for Harry and the wizarding world.
In fact, Dumbledore was the previous "The Chosen One".
At that time, the wizarding world was influenced by Grindelwald's indirect propaganda—that only he could defeat him—plus Dumbledore's own excellence.
So much so that the Ministry of Magic at the time placed all its hopes on Dumbledore.
Although Dumbledore refused the Ministry of Magic's order—to the point that he was fitted with a warning ring and forbidden from teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts.
But in the end, he came to realize the deaths of some people.
In the end, he still stepped forward.
Then, Castelobruxo stepped in.
He also got opportunities like Harry did this time.
Unlike Harry, he got tricked.
This "The Chosen One" development path has been chosen.
Then, the saint Dumbledore was born. Ryan gave a sarcastic smile.
Castelobruxo gave him a feeling similar to Cihang Jingzhai in the novel "Twin Dragons of the Twin Dragons of Great Tang".
It always makes others sacrifice themselves.
And they are self-righteous, believing themselves to be a great organization while sacrificing the happiness of others.
Everything was a necessary sacrifice.
"Then? Is Dumbledore still like this now?" Kate, a former Dumbledore fan, couldn't help but ask with concern.
"He? After defeating Grindelwald, he discovered something was wrong with himself thanks to his keen insight and the good habit of self-reflection three times a day."
Finally, with his extraordinary Wisdom, he transformed the "The Chosen One" into the "The Greatest White Wizard".
The vast knowledge brought by the "greatest" wizard here allowed him to transcend the limitations imposed by so-called "white" (i. e., limited knowledge).
He can still perform the Dark Magic he was involved in when he was young.
At the same time, the "white" attribute also greatly enhances his ability to cast white magic, which is currently defined as mainstream in the wizarding world. Ryan paused.
Seeing that Kate didn't look at him with admiration, he added, "I have to say, he's really amazing."
Kate immediately understood what Ryan meant.
They chose to change the subject. "So what did Ilvas choose?"
They misled other Champion about their development path.
What was the result of their advice to their school's darling, Ilvas?
"[The Prophet] anchored himself in the worship of his students."
This development direction was born from their exceptional foresight demonstrated during the competition.
This allowed his unwavering ability to foresee the future to break through wondrous limitations.
At the same time, he can occasionally drift off into a reverie and foresee the more distant future.
"But that depends on luck." Kate glanced at the paused screen upon hearing this.
Dumbledore's azure pupils seemed to be expanding, and his barely contained rage seemed about to ignite.
She was a little puzzled. "Then why didn't he stop their principal?"
Based on what you said before, Dumbledore might be fishing for information.
Let's see if they share the same idea about Harry —to make Harry choose the "The Chosen One".
Didn't he like to show off his abilities before? He looked inscrutable and in need of a beating. "
"Firstly, it's because he was trying to establish the public persona of the title 'Prophet'."
There's no need for that now.
Secondly, in most wizards' understanding of prophets, they are all eccentric and taciturn, remaining silent about fate. Ryan chuckled and shook his head, pressing the start button. "Let's continue watching. Let's see how our headmaster goes on a rampage!"
For the first time, Krum fully understood why people said Dumbledore was the only wizard Voldemort feared.
He was even more embarrassed by the illusion he had when he was empowered by War Magic —that he could defeat Grindelwald.
He didn't know what exactly the principal of Castelobruxo had said wrong.
His current expression was so frightening that it exceeded Krum's expectations.
There was no kind smile, and the joyful Spark was gone from the eyes behind the glasses.
Every wrinkle on that aged face carried a chilling rage.
Dumbledore radiated a power that made him seem to be burning with heat.
This made Krum tremble uncontrollably.
Until— Harry stepped forward.
He also radiated a power that was both sacred and evil, accompanied by the roar of a fire dragon and the cry of Phoenix.
Krum finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked softly.
He only intervened when he saw Krum was about to reach his breaking point.
Well, only Krum (excluding Madame Vokanova, who was the main target).
The others, including Ilvas, who was second to last in terms of overall strength, were able to barely hold on.
But Krum is on the verge of a breakdown.
"You'll have to ask our Madame Vokanova for that."
When did she start to have the misconception that I was easy to talk to?
"Assuming she knows my choice," Dumbledore said calmly.
He absorbed the power radiating from his body.
The robe, which had been moving without wind, became smooth again.
Madame Vokanova suppressed her fear and said, "It depends on Harry's own wishes, doesn't it?"
As you just mentioned, the direction of development within the Affection Power is chosen by them.
I'm just offering a suggestion.
And don't you have a way, like how you transformed from a "The Chosen One" into a "white wizard"?
