Did Voldemort bully me?
That was a question worth considering. He had seemed to want to, but Grandpa had taught him a lesson. Not only had his grand resurrection plan been ruined by Zhang Xiao...
Even the Diary had ended up in his hands.
Judging by his parents' expressions, all he needed to do was nod, and Dad would immediately hunt Voldemort down, grab him by the collar, and give him two resounding slaps. "So you're Voldemort, huh?"
Mom would even shout from the sidelines, "Darling, stop! You'll never beat anyone to death like that!"
Zhang Xiao gazed into the distance, his expression calm. Everyone needed an opponent in life. Having a sufficiently powerful villain during your formative years would help you grow faster.
To surpass yourself, to scale new heights.
Flowers raised in a greenhouse were destined to crumble before wind and rain. Tom-Voldemort-was an opponent who wasn't right in the head, but could certainly be considered powerful.
Zhang Xiao smiled faintly, his smile carrying the composure to face any hardship or danger.
So...
"That's right, Dad, Mom! It was that bastard Voldemort who bullied me! I'm no match for him. Go beat him up for me!"
Utterly worked up, Zhang Xiao gesticulated wildly as he denounced Voldemort's inhuman conduct in bullying a second-year wizard.
With a cheat this powerful at my disposal, why would I bother playing your little character-growth game? Am I out of my mind?
If it hadn't been so difficult to arrange, he would have asked his parents to finish off Voldemort in his ghostly state long ago!
Zhang Xiao had already worked out the method and the entire procedure!
First, find Voldemort in his wandering-spirit state, capture him, and seal him away. Then collect the Horcruxes and destroy them all in one fell swoop!
