Bell's Title Evolved

Walking silently down the quiet corridor, Bell was pondering what had happened during his Defense Against the Dark Arts.

On the first day of school, Bell actually wanted to go and say hello to Professor Moody.

After all, Professor Moody taught him a lot of valuable knowledge back then, and he still respects Professor Moody very much.

However, after seeing the other person's figure from afar a few times, for some reason, Bell always felt a sense of unease.

That's why he acted so foolishly in class today. It was all to test Professor Moody.

To be honest, Bell was very dissatisfied with the result of the trial.

He is now increasingly suspicious that Professor Moody has a problem.

However, strictly speaking, he didn't have much contact with Professor Moody back then, and his understanding of him was relatively limited. Besides, so many years have passed; it wouldn't be surprising what changes might have occurred in him.

In short, Bell kept this feeling of unease in mind and simply became more cautious afterward.

Oh, right, when we get back I should remind my younger sister that Shanna also knows Professor Moody, though we're not exactly close.

After making this ambiguous decision for the time being, Bell finally had time to look back at his girlfriend, who had remained silent for some reason.

"Hermione, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Bell asked worriedly.

"... Bell..."

Hermione looked conflicted, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"... Say it then."

After waiting for ages without hearing anything from Hermione, Bell was so annoyed by her conflicted expression that he almost couldn't breathe.

"When... when did you learn the Unforgivable Curses?"

Faced with Bell's urging, Hermione asked hesitantly.

"8 years old."

"!? How could you... how could you learn such a terrifying Curses at such a young age?"

Hermione was shocked. She had thought that Bell had secretly learned the Unforgivable Curses behind her back.

So, when Bell learned the Unforgivable Curses, she wasn't even born yet!?

Well, it's not entirely accurate to say she wasn't there; rather, she and Bell hadn't even met yet.

"Is it small? No, it's not small anymore."

"How can you say you're not young anymore!"

Eight years old! What was I doing when I was eight... Well, Hermione can't remember.

"Then tell me, at what age should they start learning?"

"They shouldn't be learning this at any age... no matter how old they are!"

"Hermione said in exasperation. She almost got tricked by Bell again."

"Such a terrible and evil Curses as the Unforgivable Curses should never be learned!"

To be honest, Hermione really couldn't understand how Professor Dumbledore could allow Professor Moody to teach such dangerous knowledge in class.

That's absolutely terrifying!

"You're wrong to say that. The Unforgivable Curses isn't scary at all, or rather, all Curses are very scary."

Even a simple Cleaning Charm, if cast by a skilled wizard, can be so cruel and terrifying that it can tear a person apart, making it many times more cruel and terrifying than Killing Curse.

Therefore, no magic is evil or cruel.

The only evil and cruel thing is the human heart.

Although Bell spoke with earnestness, Hermione, recalling the spider's pitiful state earlier, felt that Bell was making excuses.

Before Hermione could figure out how to refute Bell, Bell continued:

"Don't be afraid of magic, Hermione. Wizards may be the darlings of magic, but if you start to fear it, magic will leave you too."

Bell ruffled Hermione's hair, put his arm around her shoulder, and headed towards the classroom for the next class.

As for Hermione's little worries, they'll just disappear on their own in a couple of days, so there's no need to worry about them too much.

Sometimes, the more you try to eliminate something, the more deeply it is imprinted on your heart.

If you don't pay attention to them, they will naturally fade from your memory before long.

If it weren't for what happened later, perhaps Hermione would have forgotten, just as Bell thought, the scene of Bell casting the Unforgivable Curses in class today.

After all, humans tend to romanticize past memories. Maybe in two weeks, Hermione might even think that Bell, who casually cast the Unforgivable Curses that everyone feared, was quite cool?

But reality doesn't allow for "what ifs," so...

During dinner, Bell's name once again spread throughout Hogwarts.

It has to be said that few people can resist the temptation of gossip.

Watching from afar as some people gesticulated wildly about what happened in Defense Against the Dark Arts that day, Bell found it both amusing and somewhat speechless.

That guy, if I remember correctly, should be in 7th grade.

So how could he describe it so vividly and enthusiastically when he clearly didn't see anything?

As Bell predicted, it didn't take long for his title of "Demon King" to undergo another transformation.

However, it didn't become a title like "Demon God" or anything like that, which was cool, domineering, and arrogant, as Bell had predicted.

According to information overheard by Bell using his superhuman hearing, his current titles include, but are not limited to: "Pervert," "Serial Killer," "Dark Wizard," and "New Generation Death Eater."

So, there are actually so many evolutionary branches for the Demon King? Why do I have this feeling of "good riddance"? No wonder I'm constantly getting attacked by heroes.

But that's not all. What's most infuriating is that some people are spreading rumors that he loves to eat human flesh and drink human blood, especially children's flesh. They claim that he infiltrated Hogwarts to hunt Little Wizard.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Bell would never admit to such excessive slander.

Although he didn't know what human flesh tasted like, even a fool could tell that human flesh certainly wasn't as delicious as things like Dragon Meat, Spider Meat, or Teppanyaki Squid!

So, if he had no brains, he'd have to eat human flesh instead of all sorts of delicious Magical animal meat!

As for human blood, he actually knew what it tasted like.

After all, he'd bled quite a bit during training. So, after a couple of licks, he naturally knew what it tasted like.

Honestly, human blood doesn't taste good at all.

It tasted fishy and astringent, with a rusty flavor. Compared to cola or juice, it was worlds apart.

Unlike Bell's resentment and dissatisfaction, Shanna was extremely excited after learning the details of the matter.

Overly excited, the little girl even ran into the lounges of the other three colleges, insisting on showing off her identity as Bell's sister.

Seeing everyone else running away in panic, the little girl was overjoyed.

This is so much fun!

Finally, with Phyllis and Lena's considerable effort, they managed to drag Shanna back to the Slytherin Common Room.

Then the little snakes were in trouble...
