Chapter 2 Dumbledore Is Great, But He Is My Headmaster!
"Kyle Mephisto!" A small group of Auror strikers stood in front of Kyle, led by Captain Pico Flint with a stern face.
"Good morning, Mr. Flint!" Kyle had a big smile on his face, not at all annoyed by the group of Aurors blocking his way in public. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were waiting for me here. If I had known, I would have arrived earlier and brought you breakfast!"
Despite Kyle's politeness, Pico Flint did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he clenched even harder the magic wand covered by his robe to ensure he could cast a spell immediately. The prestige of the "Blood Devil" was forged with more than 300 lives, many of them powerful black wizards.
"Don't be so nervous; I'm just a little wizard preparing to enter school. I don't know how to kill people. If you don't believe me, go to Knockturn Alley and ask. Everyone knows that I, Kyle, am a good and helpful little wizard!" Kyle noticed the nervousness of the Aurors in front of him, shrugged, and smiled reassuringly. "Besides, nervousness will affect your magic performance. What if you miss it? There are so many little wizards and innocent parents here!"
This was likely the first time the Auror strikers had been comforted by their mission target. Pico was even more frustrated, realizing Kyle's subtle implications: there are so many innocent people here that if you act rashly, you can't take responsibility.
"I have come to deliver Minister Fudge's warning, that Hogwarts is a great school of wizardry. Headmaster Dumbledore is the greatest White Wizard of the century, and he will not tolerate any evil in his school!" With a stern face, Pico delivered the Ministry of Magic's warning, but Kyle interrupted him before he could finish.
"So? My headmaster is the greatest white wizard of this century... what does that have to do with Fudge? This is my headmaster!" Kyle took out the acceptance letter from the pocket where he had cast the "Untraceable Stretching Charm." "Or does Minister Fudge want to return to Hogwarts?"
Pico opened his mouth, unsure of what to say. It seemed so logical! Kyle looked at Pico with nothing to say. The smile on his face grew brighter. He relished their inability to understand him or confront him.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go now. The train is about to leave, and I don't think Mr. Flint wants to read about the Ministry of Magic preventing Hogwarts freshmen from enrolling in the Daily Prophet tomorrow, right?"
"Please!" Pico almost squeezed out this sentence through his teeth. In fact, he also felt that Fudge had lost his senses by asking him to deliver such a message.
Would the infamous "Blood Demon" of Knockturn Alley ever fear a warning from the Minister of Magic?
Merlin, is this an Eastern or Western Night Tale?
Under the watchful eyes of several Auror strikers, Kyle boarded the train by himself, found an empty compartment, and sat down.
"I didn't expect Dumbledore to actually let me enroll," he murmured, unable to suppress a laugh.
"System, show my attribute list!"
[Emotional Treasure Box System]
[Host: Kyle!]
[Race: Human (old soul?)]
[Age: Eleven years old!]
[Talent: Heart of Black Magic, Affinity for Fantastic Beasts!]
[Magic: Death Curse (Lv Max), Cruciatus Curse (Lv Max), Imperius Curse (Lv Max), etc.]
[Pets: Sun Elf, Moon Elf, Winged Bat...]
That's right, Kyle is a time traveler who crossed over to this world five years ago. How he crossed is not important; what matters is what followed.
He appeared in Knockturn Alley, orphaned at the age of six. Knockturn Alley is notorious for its killing, chaos, and disorder. To survive, he had to brandish a wand he took by force.
Yes, Kyle is a complex character. While he has killed, committed arson, and sometimes robbed, he sees himself as a good guy. Just like those girls who frequented nightclubs in his previous life—though they smoked, drank, and partied, they still considered themselves good girls.
Who dares to say otherwise...
As for the system, it activated as soon as Kyle crossed over. The Emotional Treasure Chest System, as the name suggests, generates treasure chests from others' intense mood swings. The greater the emotional shift, the higher the level of the chest. Treasure chests are classified into five levels: bronze, silver, gold, diamond, and supreme.
Inside, one can find treasures, talents, magic, and even pets unavailable in the magical world. Honestly, in Knockturn Alley, this system was incredibly useful. After all, nothing induces greater emotional swings than death.
Kyle's Heart of Dark Arts talent integrated itself after he collected countless black magic talents in Knockturn Alley. Simply put, it means the magic within him darkened, amplifying its power significantly!
As for why he's attending school... Based on Kyle's observations and theories, the chest system seems to have a hidden rule. If a character is from the original story, there's a greater likelihood of generating a higher-level treasure chest.
