After watching Luna's figure disappear into the distance with squinted eyes, Bell finally had time to talk to his girlfriend.

He turned his head and looked at Hermione sitting to his right.

"Hermione, that's enough. Can you let go now? If you keep twisting, you'll really lose a piece of flesh."

From the moment Bell showed interest in Luna, Hermione, consumed by jealousy, pinched the soft flesh at his waist.

"Snort!"

With a snort, Hermione obediently let go of her hand.

Actually, she never really used her strength.

"Tell me! Do you have any bad feelings for that female student from earlier?!"

Even though Hermione herself didn't believe it when she said it.

However, women's jealousy is unreasonable!

When needed, a girl can instantly become a woman!

Of course, it will immediately revert back to its original state afterwards. This is an age-related issue, so there's no room for carelessness!

"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person. Besides, she practically offered herself up..."

"Um!?"

"No, I mean, Luna applied for the job on her own initiative."

As an interviewer, of course I must adhere to the principle of selecting the best candidates, right? If I discover outstanding talent, then of course I must try my best to retain them.

So, it's all because of the pressures of life!

Bell's voice was mournful, and he kept rambling on Train.

If Hermione hadn't already known her boyfriend so well, she almost would have been fooled by Bell.

However, having this way out was enough for Hermione. What she was more curious about now was another matter.

"Bell, was that junior Luna really that amazing? You and Shanna both looked really shocked."

Hermione had wanted to ask this question for a long time. After all, this was the first time she'd ever seen Bell with that expression.

"Incredibly powerful! At least when Legilimency the Curses spell alone, I am far inferior to Luna right now."

Therefore, some things really are unreasonable.

Many wizards, even those who have practiced Legilimency their entire lives, may not be able to reach the level Luna was at when she was born.

Bell even suspected that if Luna could recognize her talent and make good use of it, she might already be able to achieve what Bell had only imagined... photographic memory.

With Luna as such a gem, Bell completely lost interest in the subsequent lackluster attempts.

It can only be said that, even with Penelope as a living example, for now, high-achieving graduates still tend to prefer working for the Ministry of Magic.

For example, Penelope's boyfriend, Percy, has repeatedly urged Penelope to quit her current job and focus on preparing for her interview with the Ministry of Magic.

Penelope, thoroughly annoyed by this, even considered casting Sleeping Charm on Percy to shut him up.

It's worth mentioning that among the graduates who came to apply, there was one who applied for the position of magic item researcher.

Moreover, after a brief exchange, Bell was surprised to find that this guy was actually quite skilled.

It's important to know that Alchemy is not part of the Hogwarts curriculum.

If someone is interested in Alchemy, they can only learn it on their own by studying Ancient Runes and then searching for relevant information in the Library.

Therefore, at the beginning, Bell did not even arrange for recruitment for the relevant positions.

It was this Ravenclaw senior, Asamos Abad, who approached Penelope to inquire about applying for a job related to the creation of magical artifacts.

After finishing the interview with senior student Abad, the time finally came for Shanna to attend the security personnel interview that she had been looking forward to!

The reason why the young girl was so eager to be an interviewer, even ignoring her two best friends for a long time, was so that she could have a real-life competition with the job applicants.

Playing computer games (Philosopher's Stone) all the time is so boring!

Although earlier, an unexpected person with a mental disability popped up, allowing Shanna to move her hands and feet a bit.

But that level of activity isn't even a warm-up, and the little girl won't be satisfied with just that.

Seeing his younger sister's eager expression, Bell smiled slightly. He knew that Shanna's little wish was probably going to be dashed.

"Next up, Mr. Rufus George of Gryffindor."

This time, Bell did not invite the other person to sit down.

After all, you can't just sit there and fight.

"Mr. George, given the position of security guard you are applying for, we need to assess your combat capabilities to some extent. We hope you understand."

"Understand."

George nodded.

He had anticipated this. Therefore, he had been practicing his Curses for many days.

Moreover, in order to cope with the ever-changing battle situation, he simulated various battle scenarios in his mind and devised the perfect countermeasures.

"Before me, there are no more adversaries!"

George glanced at Shanna, who was practically unable to sit still.

Except for that little devil.

"Very good. We have prepared three packages for you... no, three opponents to choose from."

First place goes to Hermione Granger!

Bell patted Hermione on the shoulder and said with a mischievous grin.

"Why!?"

Hermione was so surprised she almost jumped up.

She had never heard of such an arrangement before. Besides, sending her to fight a 7th-year graduate was practically sending her to her death.

Bell ignored his girlfriend's surprise and continued introducing the second contestant, who was...

"Fina!"

"Awoo~!"

Finally, it was her turn to make her appearance, and Little Fina jumped around on the table with high spirits.

There's no other way; it has to fight back. Its theft of the Spirit Pet Pill has been exposed, and now it's all up to it to perform well in battle to extend its life.

"Gege! Gege!"

Shanna grabbed her Gege's arm and shook it desperately.

"Don't rush, you're next."

Bell comforted his younger sister. The little girl's grip was getting stronger and stronger.

"Third place, which is also last place, is Shanna!"

In fact, Bell did not originally intend to have his sister play; the third spot was originally supposed to belong to Penelope.

However, unable to resist his younger sister's expectant gaze, Bell ultimately had no choice but to shamefully give in.

"Boy, if you dare to harm a single hair on my sister's head, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"

Bell threatened menacingly.

Although he knew that, theoretically, this guy couldn't possibly hurt Shanna.

But! What if?

What if the guy on the other side has mastered an undefendable Curses, such as the Killing Curse?

What if my sister happens to be momentarily distracted when this guy on the other side casts the Killing Curse?

What if he also happened to be lost in thought while his younger sister was daydreaming?

just in case...

In short, Bell's sister complex has resurfaced intermittently, and he doesn't see anyone as a good person now.
