Achieve a 'Great Undertaking'!
Bell felt a strange sense of frustration that the Cultivation Method he had painstakingly mastered was being wasted.
So, after a period of deep thought, he finally came up with a way to compress magic power and store it in his Dantian Qi Sea.
However, contrary to Dumbledore's expectations, Bell didn't actually rely on the Magic Flame to defend against sneak attacks.
Unlike older wizards who rely on a Wand for everything and have outdated ideas, Bell is covered in all sorts of magical gadgets, so he is not really afraid of being ambushed.
Of course, if a wizard of Dumbledore's caliber were to secretly use the Killing Curse to ambush him, he would most likely be doomed.
Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, no amount of "tricks" will be effective.
Therefore, for Bell, the most important function of the Magic Flame is actually—to look cool!
The way he was enveloped in Azure Magic Flame was absolutely stunning!
When Bell first saw himself in the mirror, he was almost mesmerized by his own reflection.
The second function is to prevent surprise attacks.
Ahem, don't be so quick to doubt.
Indeed, Bell was unafraid of enemy ambushes.
But!
He was afraid of being attacked by someone close to him!
For example, his mother and his mother and his...
Bell will never forget that his first time was at the hands of his own mother!
After so many years of research, he still couldn't set the Shield Charm to only defend against specific types of Curses.
For example, it can defend against attack Curses, but it won't block healing Curses.
That's far too complicated!
Besides, who says healing Curses can't kill people?
A Curses that promotes rapid bone growth, with just a slight alteration, can cause a person to burst from the inside out.
Wizards don't have the bloodline limit of the Shikotsumyaku Pulse.
Therefore, Bell ultimately had no choice but to abandon this attempt.
But he didn't want to be ambushed by the people around him again.
Especially Hermione!
Bell always felt that Hermione's gaze was sometimes very dangerous.
The creation of the Magic Flame perfectly solved this problem for Bell.
This is truly something to celebrate.
Seeing Dumbledore straighten up and stop observing the Magic Flame in his hand, Bell glanced at Karkaroff, who was standing there dumbfounded, and clenched his fist.
Instead of taking back his magic, he crushed it.
As the Magic Flame shattered, a massive amount of magical energy, like a beast unleashed from its cage, roared towards Karkaroff under Bell's control.
Karkaroff's face visibly paled. His wrist trembled slightly as he reached for his Wand. But after being given a look by Dumbledore, Karkaroff abruptly stopped himself from doing so.
It could be said that the reason Bell was so agreeable today, and why he unleashed his Magic Flame without hesitation after Dumbledore made his request, was to intimidate Karkaroff.
Although he was not afraid of Karkaroff, nor did he care what schemes the other party might be plotting in the shadows.
But he's afraid of trouble!
He'd be crazy to want to play some kind of battle of wits with an old geezer when he could comfortably snuggle up in the warm lounge and cuddle with his own Hermione.
Moreover, if Karkaroff were to target Shanna or Hermione with his revenge, although Bell wasn't worried about their safety, he feared he might lose control of his anger and kill Karkaroff.
Although Karkaroff's past was tainted and his character was utterly despicable, the other party was, after all, the principal of Durmstrang, one of the three major magic schools in Europe, and still held some social standing. Therefore, if he killed him, the consequences would be quite troublesome.
Thinking about this, Bell couldn't help but want to criticize Durmstrang again. So what criteria did they use to select the principal?
Ignoring the shocked and furious Karkaroff, Bell said to Dumbledore:
"Professor, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I made plans with Shanna to spend time with her today."
"... Mr. Menethil, you have a very lovely little sister. I hope you can take good care of her."
Dumbledore complicated tone.
After much deliberation, Dumbledore still didn't know how to handle Bell's situation.
This was actually something he had anticipated.
After all, if there really was a good solution, he would have come up with it a year or two ago, so why would he be having this headache now?
He now only hopes that Bell's sister, that lovely little girl, can be a hindrance to him, preventing him from getting lost in the pursuit of power and authority.
Thinking of this, Dumbledore couldn't help but recall his sister who had tragically died.
If only he, as the Gege, had been able to protect Ariana back then...
"Of course, no one can hurt Shanna, I swear!"
After glancing at Karkaroff one last time, giving him a final warning, Bell turned and walked away without looking back.
"Gege (Bell)! Are you alright?!"
As soon as they entered the Great Hall, Shanna and Hermione, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came to greet them.
Bell was gone for a little over half an hour, and the two of them worried for just over half an hour.
Of course, they weren't idle during this time; both of them were actively thinking of ways to save their "Gege" (boyfriend).
Hermione had been using her Personal Terminal to search for Hogwarts ' School Rules, Durmstrang's School Rules, and various laws in the Magical World.
If that Professor Karkaroff of Durmstrang persists in pursuing Bell, then she will use legal means to protect Bell from harm!
What Shanna did was relatively simpler.
The little girl carefully organized her small handbag at her waist, selecting the most powerful magical items from among the countless magical artifacts and placing them within easy reach.
If those wicked old men and women dare to harm her Gege, she will throw all the magical items her Gege gave her out without saying a word and blow up this wretched place!
Fortunately, Hermione was unaware that the seemingly harmless and adorable girl beside her was planning to accomplish a "great feat" that even Voldemort couldn't achieve back then, otherwise she would never have bothered to care about those School Rules and legal provisions.
"It's nothing, what could possibly be wrong with me? I just chatted with Dumbledore for a bit."
Bell caught his younger sister as she pounced on him and affectionately ruffled the little girl's hair.
"Bell, how does the professor plan to punish you? I just noticed that Ravenclaw's House Points have decreased."
Previously, Hermione's heart was in her throat when she saw the Gemstone representing Ravenclaw's grades on the Great Hall wall decrease.
