Ranks below follow the wording used in the relevant chapters. Where an upgrade happens outside the supplied scenes, the table records its first documented confirmation.

Background and History

The Original Director

The original Mo Fei belonged to a once-prosperous merchant family. His father inherited the estate that later became the orphanage, while his mother actively helped manage their business. Their successive deaths from illness ended the family’s prosperity. Mo Fei left school before graduating, although his education allowed him to work as a chamber-of-commerce clerk 4 5.

He opened the orphanage with little understanding of childcare; Aiwen, its first resident, helped him learn. Almost no public funding reached the institution, leaving the director’s earnings to support it. Bereavement, children’s deaths, predatory officials, and dwindling funds eventually drove him toward despair 2 8 135 272.

Transmigration and the Bakery

The incoming Mo Fei brought knowledge of the Harry Potter story and recognized baby Tom as the future Voldemort. Rather than assuming he could completely remake Tom, he initially hoped to give the child a better environment and establish some trust 2 10.

To stabilize the orphanage, he improved his cooking, began selling bread, and developed its agricultural land. Lina became his cooking pupil, while Aiwen gained experience dealing with customers. He treated these activities as both sources of income and preparation for the children’s independent futures 5 9 17 22.

Miles’s efforts to undermine the business escalated into slander and an official investigation. Mo Fei defended the sales under a regulation permitting orphanage residents and organizers to obtain necessities through legitimate labor. Earl Winter’s intervention secured his return and reversed the damage to his reputation. The Winter household subsequently supported Love Bread, operated with Stefan and Kalai 37 41 49.

Contact with the Wizarding World

Kyle’s Hogwarts admission brought direct contact with magical education. Mo Fei later managed Tom’s childhood magical outburst, hid magic books in the renovated basement, and emphasized a Muggle education, though Tom remained fascinated by magic 52 61 84.

Violence against the orphanage pushed Mo Fei toward stronger combat abilities. He subdued Miles, who died after being bitten by his own snake, and later fought Black Snake Gang attackers. His medical intervention for the poisoned Earl Winter further strengthened the orphanage’s protection and standing 77 96 97 105 119.

His expanding supernatural abilities brought him into sustained contact with Grindelwald and Dumbledore. He challenged Grindelwald’s treatment of Dark Magic, fought an official duel with Dumbledore, and agreed to establish a Hogsmeade shop introducing young wizards to Muggle food and culture without abandoning the orphanage 137 176 232.

Discovery of His Soul’s Power

Nearly twelve years after arriving, Mo Fei renovated the orphanage using construction skills and Ancient Runes. The completed changes awakened the part of his soul embedded in the building and revealed that the Belief Sublimation System was not an external mechanism 266 272.

The original director had burned his soul and surrendered his memories when the transmigrant arrived. Because the body could not contain the newcomer’s powerful soul, it divided between the body and the orphanage. Their connection manifested as the system. After learning this, Mo Fei openly acknowledged responsibility for the orphanage’s transformation when Dumbledore investigated it 272 273.

Appearance

Mo Fei initially inhabits a middle-aged body that becomes progressively fitter and younger-looking through skill upgrades and enhanced nutrition 24 25 72.

• Improved physique: His first Combat upgrade reduces abdominal fat and produces visible signs of muscular training 25.
• Younger appearance: Master-level cooking improves his skin and general health 72.
• Slow visible aging: By his fifties, he has looked much the same for several years; the children notice but keep silent 266.
• Composed bearing: Molly compares his calmness to Earl Winter’s, while Colleen senses an aristocratic quality despite his plain clothing 34 46.

Personality

Mo Fei combines gentleness with a strong concern for individual lives, informed by his modern Chinese upbringing. He reassures children who fear abandonment, recognizes their talents, and prioritizes viable futures over simply keeping them fed. He also respects their choices: although he favors Mia’s opportunity to enter a theater, he lets her consider it herself 8 9 22 48.

His kindness does not make him trusting of aggressors. He investigates threats privately, anticipates retaliation, and understands how money, influence, and public reputation shape official decisions. Although reluctant to kill, he concludes that someone intent on murdering him cannot safely be released. Even then, he tries to keep violence away from the children 30 31 38 77.

He remains practical about his own limitations. He cultivates Lina as a successor in breadmaking, learns from business partners, and eventually prefers saving Belief Points until a concrete need arises rather than upgrading indiscriminately 17 22 79.

Abilities and Skills

Belief Sublimation System

His apparent system improves skills he has already acquired; learning the underlying skill still requires his own effort 7.

• Belief Points: Generated through the orphanage children’s trust. By the period documented in Chapter 79, he receives six points monthly 7 79.
• Skill transformation: An upgrade can change a skill’s nature, as with Fighting becoming Combat and Masonry becoming Civil Engineering 24 266.
• Natural advancement: Skills can improve through practice and experience without point expenditure 79.
• Light of Spirituality: A separate resource needed for higher breakthroughs; ultimately explained as inspiration sparked by extreme emotion 68 272.
• True source: His divided soul and the power of human belief, rather than an independent outside system 272.

Martial Arts and Qi

Transcendent Martial Arts turns his vitality into usable, health-preserving Qi 131.

• Enhances speed, strength, bodily control, and resistance to magical attacks 156 176 214.
• Allows food—especially high-energy food—to strengthen his body and increase Qi production 131.
• Can circulate automatically to heal bruises and form a protective layer over his body 149.
• Can be directed into another person to nourish tissue or stimulate nerves without physical damage 156.
• Helps protect against influences that shorten life, but does not grant immortality; his stated lifespan limit at its introduction is 120 years 131.

Combat Perception and Anti-Wizard Tactics

His supernatural combat instincts detect minute changes in a fight. Studying Kyle’s Hogwarts textbooks lets him mentally rehearse counters to known spells 215.

• Breaks Dumbledore’s Shield Charm with two punches during their duel 176.
• Uses Qi-coated strikes and accumulating vibrations to transmit force through another witch’s shield 214.
• Closes a roughly ten-meter gap before watching wizards can readily react 214.
• Resists the fear induced by Tide of Terror and narrowly evades a close-range Killing Curse 214.
• Limits: Unfamiliar magic cannot be reliably anticipated. Spells whose effects can change freely at a transcendent level exceed his established countering method 215.

Cooking

His cooking develops from a means of feeding the orphanage into a source of supernatural nourishment 5 266.

• Cheap Ingredients: Makes ordinary ingredients comparable to high-grade ones in both culinary quality and nutritional value 72.
• Magical preparation: Can cut through a magical creature’s natural protection without supplying wizarding magic 123.
• Supernatural nourishment: Concentrates nutrients and the “mystery” within magical creatures into edible dishes, gradually transforming his own constitution 266.
• Ingredient knowledge: Uses both Muggle seasonings and wizarding ingredients studied through Hogwarts textbooks 226.

Medicine

His medical abilities combine anatomical knowledge, herbs, manual techniques, and Qi rather than conventional wand-based healing 25 148 155.

• Maximizes the prospects of patients who can survive and can ease the deaths of those beyond saving 148.
• Treats some magical injuries and reduces corrosion from certain forms of Dark Magic 148.
• Works with Gideon to surgically repair Zane’s heart; Mo Fei performs the physical operation while Gideon supplies essential magical support 155.
• Later describes his transcendent medical repertoire as capable of curing many injuries, illnesses, and curses 266.

Meditation, Mental Resistance, and Hypnosis

Meditation helps him retain control during the extreme hunger caused by his Martial Arts transformation and becomes central to his connection with the orphanage 131 272.

• Resists a fortune-teller’s attempt to hypnotize and control him; their colliding minds create a shared mental void 165.
• Hypnotizes Old Riddle to obtain answers about Merope and Tom 262.
• Visualizes the orphanage internally; after its transformation, this image interacts with the physical building and reveals magical connections 272.

Divination

After inheriting the fortune-teller’s spiritual talent, Mo Fei can perform genuine Divination despite lacking magical power 167.

• Correctly foresees Boer returning to the orphanage at eight in the evening 181.
• His Advanced Divination entry remains gray and cannot be upgraded 181.
• Mystical tools become consumables in his hands, weakening with each use 167.

Crafts, Agriculture, and Education

• Forging: Creates and refines personalized weapons at master level 177.
• Construction: Combines architecture, Civil Engineering, and Ancient Runes to renovate the orphanage 266.
• Agriculture: Cultivates wheat and pasture grass to improve food security and reduce feed expenses 50.
• Teaching: Instructs the children in cooking, martial arts, general knowledge, etiquette, and practical preparation for employment 22 50 61 62.

Equipment and Items

• Kitchen knives and bone-chopping knife — Used to dismantle magical ingredients, including the devil ray 123.
• Self-forged weapons — Manufactured and refined to match his own requirements 177.
• Divination tools — Includes tarot cards and supplies sent by Kyle; inherited mystical implements lose effectiveness through use 167 181.
• Kyle’s old Hogwarts textbooks — A reference for spell effects and wizarding ingredients, not a means of acquiring magical power 215 226.
• Inherited valuables — His mother’s jewelry is held in reserve for emergencies and potential political expenses 7 38.
• Pistol, submachine gun, and grenades — Temporarily selected for a duel with a witch; her Disarming Charm removes them, and the pistol’s bullets fail against her shield 213.

• Albus Dumbledore — Dueling opponent and investigator of the orphanage’s transformation. Mo Fei confronts what he sees as Dumbledore’s prejudice toward Muggle capabilities 176 177 273.
• Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel — Magical collaborators connected through Mo Fei’s cooking and plans involving Muggle–wizard relations 226 232.

Notable Quotes

“I'm not driving you away. But if we carried on the way we did before, at best you'd grow up safely. What about afterward?” 8

Trivia

• His original combat foundation comes from schoolboy fights in his twenty-first-century life, not the London director’s experiences 24.
• He discourages frequent reunions partly because preparing a full table of dishes is burdensome, but also because he wants the children to pursue their own lives rather than continually look backward 164.
• His unusual Divination talent and later magical perception do not establish that he has become a conventional wizard; his powers develop through belief, soul transformation, and cultivated skills 167 181 272.
