Chapter XXXII: Progress

August 18th of 1992. Hoshimura Residence.

There are a plethora of reasons why I choose, from a personal perspective is just because I was a fan of the Anime and manga, even though Togashi-sensei needed to take long periods of rest because of his illness, sadly I died before seeing the end, and for my luck/unluck when Kazuma said that there was all the knowledge of the omniverse in the shop he really means it literally as I found that there were even mangas, books and other entertainment sources inside of it. At first, it wasn't that hard to avoid the temptation since my points were very limited but as I started earning points the temptation only grew stronger. Even though all the knowledge that falls in "entertainment" is rather cheap I already have plans on how to use them, so I don't want to fall short in points just because I wanted to read manga even if it pains me, maybe after I finish this world mission, I can indulge myself with some of them like Kaze No Stigma would be a nice one to read since it ended because of the mangaka's death.

But being serious, like I explained to gramps before even though I want and will learn everything, I am not an idiot thinking that I can take everything without a plan. So, I decided to start with Life-Force Manipulation as it's the foundation of the things that have my interest.

And as for how I got to learn the basis of Nen, it's quite simple as with my experience of using Magic Circuits, I already have some foundation about it along with gramps experience of using Qi it wasn't that hard. Also, I technically didn't learn in just a month as I spammed the use of the Time-Turner to have almost 20 extra hours a day, a shame that the Room of Requirement can't function like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber…meh in the future I will make one or maybe I will get something similar in another mission.

Returning to Nen, 3 of the 4 major principles are similar to other things that I have already done. Ten is controlling your aura when the nodes had been opened and at the same time letting flow around one's body which feels rather awkward is like being in a strange warm slime…don't ask how I know how it feels. But it's somewhat like using reinforcement in my body so the start wasn't that difficult. For Zetsu, it was easier than Ten being honest as it was literally just like closing up my circuits since it just to stop the flow of aura from the outside. As for Ren in a way was something that I already have done many times while intimidating other people extending my "presence" with killing intent, though with the difference that this can also be used to increase my physical strength and endurance.

So that leaves us with the last major principle, Hatsu which is the personal expression of Nen. It's used to project one's Aura to make a specific function, creating a unique special ability or Nen Ability. Hatsu is influenced but not restricted by the user's natural Nen category.

In the manga, it's mentioned that there are many ways for determining one's aura type, but the book from the system only mentioned the most popular way, Water Divination. This requires one to float a leaf on top of a glass of water and place the practitioner's hand around it and focus a great than normal amount of Nen on them making the Aura comes in contact with the glass will identify someone's aura depending on its change.

If the volume of the water changes, then the user is an Enhancer, who uses its aura to strengthen themselves or objects.

If the taste of the water changes, then the user is a Transmuter, who changes the quality or aura to match something else.

If the color of the water changes, then the user is an Emitter, one that detaches their aura from their body.

If impurities appear in the water, then the user is a Conjurer, who creates objects from their Aura.

If the leaf moves on the water's surface, then the user is a Manipulator, who uses their Aura to control animate or inanimate things.

If a completely different change appears, then the user is a Specialist, who uses their Aura to make something that doesn't fit in the other Nen category.

A/N: I know that it seems that is a lot of info dump but being honest I can talk a lot about Nen for an entire chapter, but let's be real do you really want that large info dump? Besides, I think that most if not everyone here know what Nen is and at least the major principles. If you want, later I can show what in an annex they are in a more detailed manner, and taking that chance you can leave a comment here asking some other thing that you might have not understood about other things about magecraft or something shown so far in the FF.

And to my fortune or misfortune depending on how you see it as soon after my Aura touched the glass the volume of the water started to decrease, the leaf started to look livelier and the petiole from the leaf started to get larger to the point that even the stem recreated.

*Sigh* While Specialist it's the most versatile of the Nen categories it's also the hardest in a way since every Nen Ability it's very different from one to another, so there is no baseline of how to start to create one, so either it comes alone or it takes a lot of time. Also, there is the matter of restriction and vows to make it stronger or make it usable with the amount of Aura one has. The latter one is the last of my concerns since I have many times more life energy than a regular person because of my mutated circuits and strengthened physique.

"It won't take me a lot of time to being proficient with the 4 principles of Nen, so what should I make my first Nen ability?"

"Fufufu~ it's never boring with you being around, isn't Yo-kun?" Death says hugging me from behind.

At this point, I am surprised by Death coming out of nowhere, and it amuses me a little that am literally being "embraced by Death".

"It's been a while Death, the last time you came here was 4 months ago," I say to her not being uncomfortable at all by her hug as she has done this a lot of times in the past.

"Ara ara, you are not cute at all, you used to be embarrassed every time that I hugged you like." Death says with her usual flirty tone hugging me tighter making me feel even more her ample chest in my back.

'Easy Ned, think on the bible…wait my name is not Ned.'

"Jokes aside, I've been quite busy setting some things, so I didn't have much time to come here. But the same can be said about you, apart from acting like a good Samaritan I noticed that you have been abusing that toy, what is its name again? Oh yeah, Time-Turner and now you have some degree of control over your life force, not to mention that you got the second one, don't you?"

While acting like a good Samaritan wasn't my purpose she is not wrong, gramps being a Servant of the Lawful-Good alignment and me not being a dick, was the most optimal route of action. But at the last part of her sentence, I couldn't help but grin.

"That's right, I wanted to make it a surprise but since the Hallows are linked to you, naturally, you know it. The resurrection stone was in the Gaunt's ring also it's a Horcrux of the noseless bastard. The curse in that ring was a powerful one I will him that much credit, but nothing I couldn't handle."

While the curse around the ring was a powerful one it was nothing against the Primordial Runes, sure I can't heal Astoria's curse the main problem is that there was a risk of killing her in the middle of breaking the curse, but since the ring is not alive even taking in consideration that has a part of Voldemort's soul, it was too easy.

"But, weirdly, you were that busy, you told me that you were capacitating some "interns" to have less work," I say taking into consideration, that even when she was capacitating other people she had time to visit at least once a week.

"Fufufu~ I am happy that you miss this one-sama, but it's a secret for the moment." Death says once again using her flirtatious tone. "So, one more hallow, and you will become my master."

"But I am somewhat jealous that you decided to study my brother's specialty instead of mine." Death says pouting a little bit.

A/N: Before you say anything, I know that in DC and other fiction works, Death is also the embodiment of life but I decided to not do this for the sake of some further arcs.

'Huh, this is the first time she mention that has a brother, but I shouldn't be surprised since she did mention Fate on numerous occasions and how mad she was with me messing with how things should but since the big boss told her to not interfere, she is just complaining.'

"Don't be jealous, it just happened that I was more familiar with that kind of power, besides it's not like you cannot teach me in the future I was already planning to ask you after getting proficient in life-force, maybe your brother can give me a little bit of insight."

In my words even if I couldn't see her I know that she made a big smile. "Count on me Yo-kun." And for the first time, since I meet her, she made a wry smile. "I don't think that is a good idea, my brother it's a little bit…weird."

I raised my brow at her words. "I mean how bad can it actually be?"

Death sighs at my words. "You have no idea Yo-kun, Life has many good qualities and he's an excellent brother but…he is a total siscon."

'Of course, he is, honestly what is it with strong supernatural people being obsessed with a member of their family?'

"Okay so no meeting your brother, if possible, got it. Changing the subject why do you always talk to me in Japanese terms? Not that it bothers me." I ask since I've been quite curious about it, but I always forget to ask.

"When I was investigating you before our first meeting, I noticed that you often say things that nobody understands so after researching a little bit I found similarities with the Japanese entertainment industry, so I wanted to do the same." Death says with a smile on her face.

I can help but sweat drop at her words. "You know that you don't need to do that?"

"I know but now I quite like talking to you like this, is it bad?" Death says caressing my hair.

"*sigh* As long as you don't force yourself to act in a particular way for me to like you it's fine," I say as honestly, I would feel rather bad if she acts in a certain way just to court me.

"Ara ara, so you are accepting my advances." Death says in a merry tone. "What made you change your opinion?"

"Well more than accepting your advances, I would say that I stopped to undermine your feelings and why did I change my mind, well let's just say that someone close to me made me realize that it wasn't healthy to continue as I did."

"It was Daphne-chan?"

"Yeah, how did you know?" I ask curiously as I know that she didn't see or hear our conversation as she is not omniscient even if people say that "Death is all around us"

"Fufufu~ well let's just say that we think alike." She says giggling.

"I see."

"So…" She says in a softer tone than before while her hug becomes tighter. "You decided to move on?"

"Yes…"I say as I hold Death's hand. "While I can't say that I am got over it, I am starting to move on."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"How much do you know about "me"?" I ask as I already know that Fuga at least hinted to other Gods about my existence, not all the gods but at least a few.

"I know that you are not exactly around "here" if that's what you are asking, after all, it is not every day that a human pops out of nowhere and that you are somehow related to my annoying boss."

"So every god, knows about the existence of other universes?" I say without worry about keeping the secret of the existence of the omniverse since different from certain world travelers, I didn't need to keep the "world order" in that matter as I need to gather companions, so as long as I just tell it to a certain amount of people and don't widespread that knowledge I will not suffer any repercussion.

"Not all gods, us Primordial Goddess/Gods are fully aware of that, and some of the chief deities as well, maybe other minor gods have some suspicion of it but they are not fully sure about that."

"Well, this makes things a lot easier, before being "Yozora" the person you know was someone different someone that has been forgotten by everyone," I say and unconsciously I hold her hand.

"When I was recruited there was a mistake a terrible mistake that killed me and along with my death my existence was erased from the memory of everyone in that world and to some degree from mine too, as the name I am using now, was given by one of my bosses along with the body you are currently seeing."

"Do you resent the one that made that mistake?"

"I am not going to lie at first I was infuriated with her, but I know that she didn't make it on purpose and she even leave a present here, something that surely got her in trouble with her superiors since like you they can interfere directly with the world, so at the very least I know she was in a way trying to apologize with me since she couldn't do it directly, who knows maybe in the future if I see her she will try to apologize."

"And how do you feel now?"

"Honestly I am better than when I first arrived in this world, but it still hurts when I think about everyone back there," I say trying to not brood. "I once read a quote that says "As long as we remember a person they're not really gone. Their thoughts, their feelings, their memories, they become a part of us." So for one that has been forgotten by everyone, what does it mean?"

"But you still remember them don't you?" Death says softly. "Even if they forgot about you, the time you spend together is still there, so as long you don't forget about them, they will be always with you. Besides…" After saying that Death kissed me on my cheek, however different from other occasions instead of being a playful or teasing one it was rather a very gentle one. "I won't forget about you."

"Thanks, Death."

"No problem Yo-kun, but can you tell me about her, the one that stole your heart first?"

"It's a pretty long story, do you have time?"

"Yes, today I cleared my schedule to be with you."

"I meet her when I was in my 2nd year at college…"

…

August 15th of 1992. Diagonal Alley

Currently, I and the guys are walking around the Diagonal Alley to get this year's materials, different from the books this time Harry didn't end up in the Knockturn Alley after using the Floo Network on the Burrow.

"Seriously dude, did you have to make every school in the world mad?" Blaise asks as we were walking towards the bookshop.

"Strictly speaking I didn't, but it wouldn't be fun otherwise," I say with a wide grin on my face as every paper news outside of the country wrote not-so-kind words about how arrogant I was and even some Directors of other schools made a public announcement that they will participate to "put me in my place", although they didn't use those words, that was the meaning behind them.

"While I give you credit for thinking of making a tournament as big as the Olympic Games, sometimes you act too reckless," Hermione says not annoyed by that as she has gotten used to it.

"Yozora, do you think that we can participate? It would be amusing seeing everyone shocked by me using a katana and Harry punching people to the kingdom come."

"Sure, no problem, but just so you know you may not be the only ones doing that."

"The tournament hasn't even started, and you are already abusing your authori- wait what?" Ron was about to joke but he was the later part of my sentence made him surprised, not that I blame him since I was also surprised by this fact when I found out, but Kazuma did warn me that was an AU so it's not that surprising when I think about it.

"Yes, while Wand Magic is the most popular branch of magic in European countries and North America. Many others prefer to use their own branch of magic or simply use other things as magic foci, in Romania that they use swords special kinds of swords and other weapons as foci, and in Mexico, there is a heavy influence of European customs for obvious reasons, but many still use Staffs as foci. But other countries promote the use of magic without it, like Uganda, Korea, and China, the former being the most famous for that as they don't use Magic Foci at all when in Korea and China, they still use some of their Magic Branches but mostly they center on the combination of Magic and Martial Arts." I explain to everyone as in England there's a severe lack of information about the magic practiced in other countries, mainly because they are too proud of their origins.

"So basically…" Blaise says. "Wand Magic is white countries magic style?"

"*pfff* Hahahaha I wouldn't put it that way, but you are not wrong thought."

"So that's what you have been teaching us for the last year?" Harry asks as I taught him and Tracey some buff spells that were in my library, and even if they still need their wands to cast it in no time they will get used to it without one.

"Not exactly the same, but they share the same root." Or at least I think so since the books that I have in the library are old and the ones that got from my travels share many similarities.

"How is this clown, so popular?" Asks Harry while looking at the announcement of Gilderoy Lockhart in Flourish and Blotts.

"I thought that you didn't know most "celebrities" in the Magical World," Blaise asks curiously.

"And I don't, it just happens that there is one book in the library written by this idiot if that bunch of nonsense can be considered a book," Harry says mocking Lockhart.

"That bad?" Daphne asks, she has heard of him but never bothered on reading his books.

"You have no idea; he claims that he fought a werewolf in a phone cabin and won on top of that, and also that he has the cure for Lycanthropy, a bunch of nonsense," Harry says giving an exasperation sigh.

"He is just a pretty boy that makes women become dumb…no offense Yozora," Ron says not looking directly at me.

"I was not offended until you said so," I say giving Ron a deadpan look, but karma acted fast as Hermione hit him on the back of the head … I wonder if Death knows Karma.

"Hey! he said that he wasn't offended…oh right." Ron for a moment that he was with three girls that become "dumb" in my presence.

"If you ask me Hermione hitting you was the best outcome, imagine if it was Tracey or Merlin forbid Daphne," Blaise says faking shivering.

"Maybe I should make him my next training dummy," Tracey says not taking kindly that some calling her dumb even if indirectly.

"Whatever let's just go to buy the necessary books without making a commotion," I say fully knowing that was not going to happen. "By the way Harry, do you remember the first rule if someone tries to grab you without your permission?"

"Ask him to let me go," Harry says immediately.

"And if he doesn't do it?" I say raising my eyebrow.

"Punch him in the kidney," Harry says without hesitation.

"Good now let's go."

"Yozora, I don't think that he should do that," Hermione says in a reprimanding tone. "Wouldn't be better to throw him/her to the ground and then use grappling to in the neck until he/she passes out?"

This of course made everyone too look at Hermione with weird expressions even Daphne had an incredulous expression.

"Well that be a good option if you are physically weaker than the other person, however since the place is crowded punching him/her is the best as that would make it let you but don't worry I am sure that Harry can make pass out almost any normal adult."

"Why aren't you surprised?"

"It's because I trained her as I did with you guys though she prefers using magic she likes to train martial arts from time to time to let out some steam."

"Besides if he does it in self-defense it's not breaking the rules," Hermione says proudly, as she is starting to enjoy using loopholes of the rules.

"You know what I am not going to even bother," Ron says entering the shop.

"I take back what I say, Ron don't make Hermione angry or else you will suffer," Blaise says with an awkward expression while Daphne just raised her thumb.

Entering the shop I could see a lot of people in the back and most of them being women around their late thirties to the beginning of their forties and in the middle of that, there is Gilderoy Lockhart surrounded by large pictures of himself.

"And you say I am narcissistic."

"You are, but he is on another level," Blaise says with a smirk on his face.

I smiled kindly at him and said, "Oh yeah, maybe I should increase your training regimen once we start the school year."

"Please don't." Blaise says like a certain "dating genius", notice the sarcasm.

"Let me go," Harry says in an annoyed tone at Lockhart that was grabbing his arm and trying to pull him near to him to take a picture.

"Harry my boy come here to take a photograph for the Daily-" But Lockhart's words unknowingly to him just made Harry angrier as he received by far the strongest punch Harry has done.

The air escapes from his lungs as he falls to his knees trying to gasp some air but turns out to be a futile attempt as he passes out soon after.

"I am not your boy, dumbass," Harry says freeing himself of Lockhart's grab.

"And there goes not making a commotion," Tracey says in a humming tone. "Don't take it wrong but I thought that you were going to be the one making a commotion."

"None taken, I thought the same." As much as I wanted to argue I know that I will always make a commotion whenever I go… if there are stupid people.

"Harry! You shouldn't have done that." Molly Weasley says reprimanding Harry as she was trying to wake up Lockhart.

"But Mrs. Weasley he was grabbing me even after I told him to let me go," Harry says in an annoyed tone.

"But Harry, violence is never the solution." Mrs. Weasley says still trying to reprimand Harry.

"I beg to disagree." Harry, Tracey, and I say at the same time, with Daphne nodding in agreement.

"Muscle heads." Blaise and Neville say at the same time.

"*sighs* Even if you are somewhat right, you shouldn't be so shameless about it," Hermione says with a tired look.

"Mum he was indeed being a hassle, he didn't want to take a no for an answer," Ron says trying to defend Harry.

"Mrs. Weasley if I may," Gramps says from behind. "The kid was just defending himself, he just got what he deserved"

"Yozora since when your grandfather was here?" Neville asks voicing out what most of them were thinking.

"Since the beginning, he was just walking a little bit from afar, besides he is not the only one here," I say pointing out Sirius who was around the corner trying to not laugh but failing miserably at the end.

"*pff* Hahaha you got him a right pup, after he wakes up he will be asking for the bludger that hit him hahaha," Sirius says not worrying about the fact that Harry just knocked out someone, as after some days watching us sparing in my house he got used to it.

"Don't encourage this kind of behavior Sirius…wait, Sirius.?" Molly says in surprise letting Lockhart fall once again.

"The great and only one, is good to see you again Molly," Sirius says with a big smile on his face

"We should let the adults catch each other," I say as I wanted to move as quickly as possible before that annoying young master shows…

"Can't even into a bookshop without making the front page?" An annoying voice says from behind.

'Too late… seriously I changed a lot of the plot, is this Fate way to annoy me?' I think to myself as I was sincerely hoping that at least I shouldn't have to listen to him before the school year starts.

"What, jealous?" Harry says with a sardonic tone.

"Jealous? Why should I be jealous of you." Then Draco glares at us. "After all you are just a barbarian who is surrounded by a bunch of Blood traitors and Mud-"

*SMACK*

But before he finished what he was about to say Harry proceed to slap Draco's ugly face making the boy fall to the ground.

"Don't you dare to say that in front of me," Harry says looking down at Draco making the place even quieter.

"Damn." But Neville is the first one to break the silence.

"Language," Hermione says reprimanding the boy. "But yeah."

"Great now there's two of them," Ron says massaging his head, probably thinking of the future in the Gryffindor dormitory.

"Well, it seems that now you have competence," Blaise says jokingly. "Yozora?" Blaise calls me again since I didn't answer.

"I have never been prouder of him like at this moment," I say drying my fake tears. "They grow so fast, may Aqua bless this beautiful world where you can print photographs from your memories."

"You are exaggerating," Daphne says deadpanning at me.

And Ginny who was here but remained in silence the whole time just glazing at Harry from time to time was the most surprised of all as she was not used to physical violence.

"You…" Draco hissed glaring daggers at Harry after standing up on the floor.

But before the situation escalated…even more. Arthur Weasley who was making a hundred questions to Elliot and Catherine about the muggle world trying to take everyone out of the place.

"Kids what are you doing, let's get out of here it's too crowded." Mr. Weasley says ignoring Draco, but his endeavor is pointless as it seems that Fate is mocking me today.

"Well, well, well Arthur Weasley." Lucius Malfoy says with a sneer ignoring Draco's red check and me, the reason is obvious as from the moment he entered the shop, I could feel a disgusting aura that I felt before, a Horcrux to be more precise Tom Riddle Diary.

Before I met with Dobby, I was already planning to sneak into his mansion to take the damn diary, but after seeing that he still warned Harry I decided to wait a little bit just to see if he was stupid enough to make that stupid plan of his with the current situation around the world, and to nobodies surprise, he was actually that stupid.

That makes me wonder if he really wanted to be on Voldemort's side, I mean I don't doubt that at least he has an idea of what that diary really is. If he wanted to Voldemort to "revive" he just needed to kidnap a random person and lock it up with the diary. And sooner or later that fragment of Voldemort would be "alive" once again.

"We have a very different idea of what disgraces the name of a wizard Malfoy," Arthur says with a dark expression on his face, and looking at Ron's and Ginny's expressions, it seems that I missed his backoff comment.

"Clearly," Lucius says as he looks at Elliot and Catherine with a contempt look that I didn't like one bit. "The company you keep, Weasley… and I thought that your family couldn't sink lower."

And finally, Mr. Weasley snapped as he throws himself at Lucius, knocking him backward into a bookshelf and making some of the books fall into both of their heads, making the crowd move backward with the consequences of more books falling from the shelves…I hope that Hermione doesn't have a heart attack.

"Get him, Dad!" Both Fred and Georg yell encouraging Mr. Weasley.

"No, Arthur, no!" Mrs. Weasley who was talking with gramps and Sirius also say shrieking as she comes quickly towards our direction.

{Gramps, if you may}

{Gladly}

And before anyone notices gramps is already in front of them, pulling them apart of course being rougher with Lucius as none of us likes him. This of course surprises everyone who is looking as he easily moved two taller and bigger adults as if was nothing. Of course, for me, this was not surprising at all as he can easily destroy a building with a single punch and that's if he is not serious, so moving two adults is not a big deal.

"Mr. Weasley, I understand that this waste of oxygen can be…irritating, to say the least, but you shouldn't listen to this dog of a man, it's not worth it," Gramps says as Lucious gives him a hateful gaze, but he can't do anything because of the Geass.

"Here, girl- take your book- is the best your father can give you," Lucius says letting a book and the diary fall into Ginny's cauldron. Then he grabs Draco and proceeded to leave the shop.

"I was right, your grandpa is as scary as you," Ron says trying to make things a little bit less tense, that worked with the young ones as most of them started to laugh.

I took this opportunity to discretely take the diary out of Ginny's cauldron and store it in my dimensional pocket. 'One more to the collection.'

"Well, we should go to the next store," Ron says trying to go out of the store.

"Wait," Daphne says making the boys stop.

"What?"

"We haven't purchased any book."

"…"

"Right…"

…

August 15th of 1992. Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Later that day.

So, after parting ways with everyone, I decided to go to Gringotts. Even though I wanted to punish Lucius for his stupid plan in a way I let him proceed as I intentionally left a loophole in the Geass to see how much of an idiot he actually is, I didn't like how he looked at the Grangers, but since there are more urgent things to do at the moment, so he will be safe… for now.

"What a pleasant surprise to see you today Heir of Lucis-Caelum," Ragnuk says with a big smile on his face.

"It's good to see you too Ragnuk, sorry for the extra work by the way," I say to him since even though I talked to him about the idea of the tournament before speaking to Fudge, the amount of work for an event as big as mine it's a lot.

"Nonsense, we are glad to be of your assistance, even more after how you mocked those foolish wizards hahaha," Ragnuk says with a heartful laugh while smacking his hand into his knee. "Besides this event would be entertaining, sure there is not going to be a lot of blood like we goblins are used to but entertaining nonetheless."

"But enough of chitchat, knowing you there must be something important to come without prior notice," Ragnuk says even if they say that I am always welcome here, it's of bad manner to come without notice so with some exceptions, I always send a message at least a day of difference. But being focused on the study of Nen, I totally forgot about that.

"Indeed, there are, first I want to check out if there is something necessary for the tournament but I came here for two main reasons," I say in a serious tone. "The first one is to ask you to let me enter the Lestrange vault. Of course, even if you allow me to enter without the proper procedure I wouldn't accept that, as it would be disrespectful to your customs."

And I mean this, Ragnuk, Brodok, and the rest of the goblins have treated me and gramps with nothing but respect, so I will do the same with them. As Goblins even if they don't like Wizards and Witches, they take very seriously anything related to business, so allowing me to access someone's else vault would be a breach of their code.

"So the first thing that you must know is that the Lestrange had infringed on the stipulations of use the vault by Gringotts standards as they are hiding an object with a soul within the vault, and that has a different amount of payment that just storing money and other goods, so legally you can extract that amount of money with interest, but the main problem the problem is what kind of object it is," I explain to Ragnuk

Ragnuk frowns after hearing the last part of my explanation. "Which is?"

"A Horcrux."

Usually, Ragnuk is very calm when I am present, sure when he explained to me what happened to his close friend, he lost control of himself which is understandable and there have not been other occasions when he got angry. But this time is different.

His face turns completely red, and he is shaking of share anger as he is trying to hold himself back but, in the end, he lets everything out. "Those wrenched bastards!" Ragnuk yells in anger.

"They dared to bring that filthy object into our confines, unacceptable! If they weren't dead I would skin them alive and then-"Ragnuk yells in anger and proceeds to describe how he would torture them if they were alive, as many think that they are dead, after what happened to Azkaban.

After a few minutes and a lot of swear words, Ragnuk finally gets calmer. "I am sorry that you had to see that unsightly demeanor on my part."

"No problem, I would react the same if someone dared to do the same with me," I say to him not caring about the very graphic description of what he would have done to them. "And since all of them are dead, usually all of their possessions would be passed to the closest relative alive, however with them breaking the contract all the possessions inside their vault are now Gringotts property, am I right?"

"Yes and since now the vault is in our possession, we can legally allow you to enter them, but if I may, why would you be near to that filthy thing?"

"Cause it's Voldemort Horcrux," I say without a problem since a person as smart as Ragnuk, would easily make the 1 + 1 taking into consideration whose vault it is; besides he would rather stab himself than betray me.

"I see…so that idiot still causes trouble even if he is hiding." He says while closing his eyes as he reclines in his chair.

At his words, I raised my eyebrow. "So, you knew?"

"It doesn't take a genius to know Heir of Lucis-Caelum," Ragnuk says nonchalantly. "Without being disrespectful to Mr. Potter but is hard to believe that an infant with less than a year, was able to kill him."

"If a had to take an educated guess, I will say that one of his parents made a ritual to protect the boy after they passed away, some really old magic that took Voldemort by surprise," Ragnuk says asserting how things happened that night. "I hardly doubt that I am the only one that thought that, yet Wizards wanted to believe that, they needed so, after all for them those times were horrible," Ragnuk says not really feeling pity for them, it was more like just telling the facts.

"That along with the ministry and Dumbledore's propaganda made Mr. Potter the symbol of a new era, so nobody really thought about it."

"You are weirdly polite when you mention Harry." Not that I complain though is just that when he is not in business mode he doesn't show respect to people that he doesn't actually respect.

"Never talked to him personally but from what I heard from my subordinates he is a good kid. Besides, I saw him earlier today, and he has fire in his eyes, he would have been a fine warrior if he was born in other times."

"I see."

"So regarding your first request even if you didn't say a thing about the Horcrux I would have accepted, but your consideration with us is appreciated," Ragnuk says with a small smile. "So, what is your second request?"

"Avalon, do you know how to get there?"

Omake 1: Reactions (Canon)

-

"Hyung, did you get the news?" A black-haired boy around 11 years old says.

"Hmm, did something interesting happened?" A young man, around 14 years old says without paying too much attention as he is too busy laying with some dogs.

"Some crazy Wizard in England is going to make a tournament inviting every magic school around the world!" The boy says with an excited tone.

"Is that so?" the young man didn't seem too interested in that. "I doubt that we are going to participate, either way, there is still bad blood between our school."

"But here is when things get interesting, the guy who did the announcement is the same age as you and he even taunted every school to participate calling the cowards if they didn't show up."

"Huh, the same age as me and doing that, I admit that he has balls but I don't want to participate in some pointless thing." The young man says with mild amusement, yet he seems to have better things to do than participating in some random tournament.

"But that's not all Hyung, the boy who is making the tournament seems to be rich, like filthy rich as the first prize of the tournament is 2,000 galleons!" The boy says with a lot of excitement.

And for the first time, since the conversation started, the young man stopped caressing one of the dogs out of surprise. "With that kind of money, I can help mom. "the young man murmurs to himself.

As he stands up one can notice that he is taller than one would expect from someone of his age, he is wearing black pants with a black hoodie tight enough that let it see that the young man even if he wasn't muscular, was in good shape. But behind him, there are a bunch of young men older than him, lying on the ground almost beaten to death.

"When is this tournament going to happen?" the young man says seriously.

At those words, the boys smile brightly. "I knew that you were going to be interested in this."

"Yohan"

--

"I said that I will go with Erinacchi!" A blonde young man with golden-colored eyes yells in anger at a brown-haired adult with similar eye color.

"I already told you, that you are not going and that final! She has a duty to fulfill." The man looks down at the young. "So, as you."

"Yeah right," the young man snorted. "It's always duty with you guys, a bunch of losers that can't do anything by themselves." The young man says in an arrogant tone.

"Watch it or else..." The adult says in a threatening tone.

"Or else what? Are you going to kill me as you did with my mother?" The young man in a cold tone looks at his father with a lifeless expression. "If that's the case, do it already, because I refuse to be your damn puppet."

After saying that the young man proceeded to leave the room, slamming the sliding door. If one paid enough attention, one could notice the exquisite woodwork on the floor as well as the decorations in the hallway. The Mansion itself is a fine piece of Japanese architecture but that is not important at the current moment as the young man entered his bedroom and lets everything out.

"Those goddamn geezers treating Erinacchi like a common harlot." The young man screams as he punches the desk in his room. "The fuckers waited until Senzaemon-jiji was out of the country to make their move, they wouldn't even dare to be close to her otherwise, and Erina being brainwashed by his deadbeat of a father of course would accept to do something so stupid."

"Kise-sama." A voice could be heard in the corner of the room. The man in question looks like he is in his mid-fifty wearing a grey tuxedo. His hair, as well as his mustache, is also grey colored and the man and his skin have a healthy tan.

"Arakawacchi, I already told you so many times that you don't have to call me like that." The young man said in an aloof tone as if the previous events didn't happen.

"As you order, Ryota-sama." The butler says giving a small bow at Ryota's words.

Ryota in another hand just sighed as it seems that this was not the only time that this happened. "Wait, are you skipping your vacations again Arakawacchi? That's not good you are old and need to take care of your health." Ryota says in a mixed tone between joking and actual care.

"Your concerns are appreciated Ryota-sama, but I assure you that this is not the case…this time," Arakawa says with a little bit of hesitation in the last part. "I just postpone it one day as I have a message from Senzaemon-sama."

This made Ryota serious once again. "What did Senzaemon-jiji said?"

"He wants you to go attend Hogwarts with Nakiri-sama," Arakawa says briefly.

"I already talked about this with my sperm donor about this," Ryota says with a lot of disdain. "He won't let me go as he is insistent that I have a "duty" here."

"Senzaemon-sama was aware of this, that's why he gave me this," Arakawa says taking out a scroll. "This is signed by all the members of the board with the request to assist Nakiri-sama in her "mission" or at least that is what is officially stated."

"Senzaemon-jiji really scared the board if everyone signed this. So with this, even that bastard shouldn't be able to do anything."

"Let's just say that the building has more natural light now," Arakawa says with a hint of humor. "But he also requests you to enter the tournament that Hoshimura Yozora is making."

"Well, that was my second plan since that man didn't want me to go with Erinacchi. But it would troublesome to get in, in my current school, it would not be hard to be selected. but being new over there is almost impossible is not it?

"That would be the case if you became an actual student in Hogwarts, but since your status will officially be "exchange student" Senzaemon-sama can pull some strings for you to participate."

"Okay, okay tell Senzaemon-jiji that I would do it. But seriously too much trouble for just one guy." Ryota sights in exasperation. "Anyways I will just copy the books inside that library and give them to him since they are most likely useless for me, but I assume that he wants to use that as leverage with the council."

"Also Senzaemo-sama says that your service will not be free and he will reward you for this."

"That old man is being too serious, I would have done it even if he didn't ask me since Erinacchi is my friend," Ryota says while scratching his head. "Anything else?"

"Just one more thing, please don't antagonize Hoshimura Yozora without a reason, from what Senzaemon investigated while he never was the first one to instigate a fight, he does react with violence when he gets antagonized."

"Fine, as long as he doesn't do anything bad to Erinacchi I will not do anything, besides…" Ryota says as a golden glint of light appeared in his eye. "Is not like he can defeat me."

Hello niece and nephew, it's uncle author and I hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Sorry for the delay in updating the chapter, I was blocked in how to write parts of this chapter so it took me longer to finish it, but at least is a long chapter the longest so far as it has 7600+ words, so I think it compensates it a little bit hahaha. By the way, this ff reached 1.07M views and 4.7K add to the library! Thank you, everyone, for your support so far and I hope I can keep doing entertainment content that most can enjoy as I can't please everyone… wait that sounded dirty hahaha.

So talking about the story, one of the reasons it took me so long is that I was very conflicted about which Nen affinity give to Yozora and I really meant it, sure taking into consideration Hisoka's personality test, Specialist or Manipulation were the most feasible options and it would suit him. But since I decided to use Nen in this fic I was very undecided about which to choose and one time I considered Enhancement because it's the most balanced one, but I discarded that idea. So, at the end of the day, I went with the specialization because I got a fabulous idea.

The MC also had a more personal interaction with Death, and while he isn't accepting her feelings, he is taking her more seriously than before. I will not start a relationship with anyone for the moment, even if I dedicated chapters to things related to that, they were more focused either on the part of the Waifu or the personal problems of Yozora like in chapter XXVII. And mainly I use it for the moment as comedy relief so don't expect anything real development any time soon.

And as for the reason that I decided to leave part of the bookstore pretty similar, like in canon even though the plot has gone to the sewer since long ago. Well, there are two reasons, the first one is that since I decided to use another teacher for this year instead of Lockhart, I didn't want to miss the chance to punch him, god I really hate that dumbass but it wasn't worth it to leave him as a teacher, so a dedicating a small part it wasn't an issue. And the second one is that Yozora had postponed taking the Diary for far too long, and even if he did know where his mansion is, from Yozora's perspective there was no harm to leave that for the last, as Lucius is a coward and he is not wrong.

And with his talk with Ragnuk, let's be real since I introduced the character I made him a real perspective, so he doubting that Voldemort is dead is not that hard to believe, and saying that the Horcrux is in the vault well, there was no risk at all, as I remarked many times, he is very loyal to his principles and allies.

As for the make I wanted to introduce two characters that will be "soon" interacting with the plot, I think that most of you already know who these characters are since both of them are pretty popular from their perspective manga and manhwa.

And finally an announcement. It's my joy to inform you guys/gals that today starts the countdown for the beginning of a new arc. That's right the DXD arc will start in 5 more chapters!

That was the other reason I was late in the update. I wanted to plan everything to start the DXD, even if I had a general idea of what I wanted to do since I mentioned the travel, I had to think about the finest details and investigate a lot, and I mean it so I could use the most of my resources to make a good arc with the best of my capabilities.

So now that I am talking about the DXD Arc I want to give a heads-up. Look I know that as far as the FF has developed most of it has been very tame but there is a reason for this. While Yozora takes his training very seriously and takes any chance to get stronger and improve himself, the problem is that he is too strong for the current Harry Potter world. I know that this is not a surprise as you had read till this point, but that doesn't mean that he will be equally strong in the world of DXD. Sure, he won't be on the bottom of the food chain but at the start when you take into consideration the top dogs of that world he is not that strong. So, this will be a chance to improve himself, gain power, and most importantly, experience. So, what I want to say with this, is that the arc that is coming is going to be dark, sure is not going to be the darkest thing that you have seen on the site but things will not be as kind as the world of Harry Potter. Also, I decided to go with two main Sacred Gears, I will not say which ones, but I can say that one of them is a support sacred gear and both are not very used on FF as far as I have read.

And finally, a few days ago someone made a review, thanks by the way if you are reading this. :D

But what I wanted to say about this review is that one of his points is that he doesn't have a mental image of what Yozora looks like. While I understand that not everyone has played Final Fantasy XV or Kingdom Hearts 3, I thought that I did a good job describing his physical appearance, so I will leave some pictures of what Yozora looks like.

How Yozora looks like when he arrived in Harry Potter's world.

How Yozora currently looks like.

How Yozora might look in the future.

So with anything else to say, thank you for reading this chapter.

If you like this ff so far please make a review on the main page, this will help me a lot so more people get interested in reading it.

Also, leave a comment with your thought on this chapter and maybe drop a stone or two hahaha (My precious!)

I will leave my Ko-fi account if anyone of you wants to support me.
