48 Chapter 48: Avalon
The final exams were coming, and all the young wizards were nervously preparing.
Hermione and Arthur's relationship had been going through some rough times recently.
Hermione believed that Arthur didn't trust her words about Professor Snape being a bad person. She claimed to have overheard a conversation in which Professor Snape threatened Professor Quirrell.
She was sure that Professor Snape was the one who was after the Philosopher's Stone because of this.
Arthur didn't argue against her thoughts. Instead, he just told her that the truth was much more complicated than it was.
Hermione was annoyed by how sneaky and secretive Arthur was being. She got mad and decided to ignore Arthur for a while. She promised to catch Professor Snape in his actions until she proved herself right.
Arthur didn't pay much attention to it. He knew Hermione was a stubborn girl, and only when she discovered the truth for herself would she realize her mistake.
Arthur also hoped that this situation would make Hermione appreciate his words more.
In the middle of all this, Arthur's first set of final exams came.
There isn't much to say about the exams. Arthur successfully passed all of them.
Especially, The Defense Against the Dark Arts exam.
When Professor Quirrell saw Arthur take out his wand during the exam, he trembled with fear.
Speaking of Professor Quirrell, Arthur couldn't help but admire at Voldemort's special methods.
The last time they met, Professor Quirrell was almost beaten so badly that he couldn't be recognized.
However, after a week's absence, Professor Quirrell still appeared at Hogwarts, but he seemed incredibly weak and intentionally avoided Arthur.
Arthur didn't expose Professor Quirrell, as he still needed him to get the Philosopher's Stone.
And so, Arthur's first year at Hogwarts came to an end.
After completing all his exams, Arthur returned to his room and was ready to draw some gacha and improve his skills.
Since receiving the Nicolas Flamel gacha last time, Arthur had accumulated another 20,000 gold coins. In order to have a chance to draw Diamond cards, Arthur had been resisting the urge to draw gacha.
Today, he decided to take a risk and see how many good things he could get with his 20,000 gold coins.
...
When the time reached ten minutes past ten in the evening, Arthur chose to draw gacha.
"System, draw all 20,000 gold coins. Make sure I get something good."
After saying that, Arthur stopped talking and looked straight at the gacha system.
The system wasted no time and continuously emitted bright light.
Finally, nearing the end, a burst of colorful light beat the shine of the other cards.
Arthur felt slightly relieved, at least he got one.
In the end, the gacha ended with five gold cards and one diamond card remaining. Arthur assimilated all the other cards, and any materials or items were stored in the system's space.
Arthur decided not to look at the diamond card first. He looked at the five golden cards instead.
1.Minerva McGonagall x2
2. Severus Snape x1
3. Nicolas Flamel x1
There wasn't much to say. Arthur put Professor McGonagall to enhance his Transfiguration talent, Professor Snape for Potions, and Nicolas Flamel for Alchemy.
The last card surprised Arthur deeply.
Bloodline Awakening Potion (Gold): Awakens the dormant ancient bloodline within the body. If the bloodline has already awakened, it enormously enhances the awakening progress.
'Wasn't this the same thing he obtained from his novice's gift?'
Arthur knew how strong the Wizarding Bloodline was.
The Wizarding Bloodline referred to the group of wizards who were the first to awaken magical powers, a group of individuals with extraordinary talent.
They possessed powers that ordinary people didn't have and could cast all sorts of unique spells.
This group of people came to be known as the Arcanists by later wizards.
Arthur deeply understood that his magical growth rate far surpassed ordinary people. Even without assimilating the cards, Arthur's current magical power would surpass that of an average adult wizard.
Without hesitation, Arthur assimilated the five gold cards. Feeling the massive increase in his magical power, Arthur immersed himself in the sensation of rapidly improving strength.
It took a while for Arthur to barely control the magical power inside him.
"It seems I'll need some time to get used to the magical power inside me again."
The increase in magical power this time was too big, and Arthur couldn't control it perfectly anymore. If he were to take the spellcasting exam now, he was worried that a single spell would blow up the classroom.
This made him grateful that he had chosen to draw the cards after the final exams.
Finally, Arthur looked at the last diamond card.
A beautiful scabbard formed and floated in front of Arthur.
The main body was a deep blue, with the scabbard's sides and tip enveloped in gold with covered strange engravings. It radiated an overall sense of power and beauty.
[The Everdistant Utopia
Name: Avalon (Noble Phantasm)
Introduction: A legendary artifact created from the land of fairies.
Ability 1: The holder remains forever young and immortal after reaching the age of 18.
Ability 2: Bestows the holder with powerful healing abilities and accelerated magical recovery.
Ability 3: When facing a crisis or activated willingly, it creates an absolute space called "absolute defense." that completely shields its user in the domain of the fairies, Avalon]
At this moment, Arthur's mind went blank.
He never expected that he would get an artifact of this level on his first diamond-level card draw.
This is one of the most famous defensive noble phantasms in another anime world.
Moreover, the system made a thoughtful modification so that Arthur didn't have to worry about stopping his growth after fusion. He could grow until the age of 18 and maintain eternal youth from then on.
Wiping away the tears of joy from the corners of his mouth, Arthur assimilated Avalon into his body.
A warm sensation rose up inside of him, and his magical power became even more active. It was approaching the level when he used to hold a wand.
Arthur carefully sensed it and discovered that Avalon was continuously improving his body. He felt that every cell in his body was filled with vitality.
