The final exams arrived in later April and early May, they were a synch. Astronomy, charms, transfiguration, potions, herbology and history were easy enough. Much like a university level course it relies heavily on self reading or in laymen's terms "finding your own literature". I had those phrases hammered into me in my first life as I crammed for hours working on shorty assignments and exams that meant little once I graduated.
Straight into the work force of some company that had me doing the one thing I didn't like, customer service. My ideal job is just be given a task then let everyone fuck off so I could work in peace. Having to drop everything at the drop of a hat for some stranger who won't even make a purchase deeply infuriated me. It's why I was so envious of Jon Snows life, well most of it. His time guarding the wall was relaxing in my mind and his exile was much the same.
Having now been placed back into the education system I've taken time to re-evaluate. The conclusion I came too is whoever picks rwby and MHA to reincarnate into is a retard! Who in their right mind would be excited about returning to school?!?! Barr Hermione of course. I can name other universes where a forced education to interact with plot is required such as naruto, HOTD, infinite stratos, mashle, any sports anime.
Sigh~ I'm glad after Harry Potter world I won't have to go to a school again. Wait? Fuck! I'm going to DXD at some point aren't I! I'll have to go and deal with that bratty heiress in her pervert academy. Rias Gremory you fucking weeb! When I meet that girl I'm going to roast the shit out of her, kinda obvious she's just a manipulative bitch who casually appears at the right time when her pre peerage members are about to die. That's an issue for later.
The highlight of my day was actually flying exams were we get a provisional licence to use a broom. Saber class riding skill guaranteed top marks, executing advanced manoeuvres was like breathing for me. Though I had a lot of experience with barrel rolling thanks to star fox~. After that class I just chilled out and finished ordering ingredients to brew the animagus potion.
Mordred was having similar results to myself, she discovered the location of Merlins cache. So I'm either going to find a vault filled with medieval porn or several priceless artifacts that could make me god level. Either is good, after we finish becoming animagus we'll leave to find it. It'll be the summer adventure.
Time zoomed by, now Harry has us all scrambling to the third floor to stop he who should not be named in his attempt to steal the philosopher stone. I'm still confused about what this one does as I feel it won't be able to break the law of equivalent exchange like the FMA one. Perhaps it condenses the souls of those captured into a juice that extends life? Couldn't the fairy king from SDS also do that. His weapon could produce a drop that instantly healed all wounds, This gives me an idea!
After Harry stopped the five of us at the door Mordred whispered into my ear. "You sure nevil is gonna be alright?" "Probably, when in doubt blame the ginger" we both stared at Rons head causing him to shiver. He turned and asked "oi what's the matter?" I just scrunched my face "nothing, just a shame what happened to Nevil" he scoffed "the git deserves it for not hearing us out".
Hearing his response I looked back to my blonde partner, we nodded showing we made the right choice but Ron seemed to think we agreed with him so he puffed his chest a little more. After Harry slowly opened the old wooden door we found the trap door open, we all walked towards it while Mordred just got a better look at fluffy.
It's eyes snapped open and stared her down before growling at her once the music stopped. Not one to back down Mordred bopped him one on the snout. Fluffy skidded back before barking madly causing the other three to snap towards it. Mordred grinned and said "go on ahead I'll hold it off~" and then cracked her knuckles. Before the others could complain I pushed them into the hole.
After hopping down and landing on a leathery plant I thought about how this room should technically be the second floor yet it was Corded off like the third floor was. While I was absorbed in my thoughts I didn't realise the plant had let me slip through. As I fell my instincts kicked in causing me to land on my feet like a cat.
Once Hermione let a flash bang loose we moved down the corridor into the room filled with keys. I located the old looking key and informed the others about it. Harry hopped on the broom and put those months of seeker training to work instantly snatching the snitch. He opened the door and we all slipped in before the keys stabbed us to death.
The next challenge was wizard chess so I let the weasely handle it. It was actually quite impressive to watch if not for the fact that we wasted an hour doing nothing but sit and listen to marble be smashed. He does have talent in wizard chess but then I remember people like Komugi, shikamaru, blank and yaichi kuzuryū which makes me feel Ron isn't that impressive.
After he sacrificed himself the stone wall opened, Hermione chose to stay behind with him while Harry and I went for the stone. Entering the next chamber I was greeted with a bestial roar before I dark soul rolled to the side. I looked up and spotted what looked like a dye job troll, it's awfully pale white and has blue veins glowing on its body.
My eyes snapped open in realisation of what this is, Quirell kept the troll that Mordred destroyed on Halloween and performed some rituals on it bolstering it's power and speed. It lifted a transfigured metal mace and swung towards me. It's ignoring Harry so I screamed for him to go on ahead while I held up the troll. He nodded and rushed into the final room before it was closed off with a ring of fire.
Once he was gone I smirked before donning my gear. This enhanced troll will be the real test for this year. I pulled out my wand and long claw before assuming a dual wielding stance. Long claw was lower and in my dominant hand whilst my wand was held at eye level.
"Feugolo" I chanted flicking a fireball at the trolls weapon intent on heating it so the troll drops it. The troll swung the mace and smacked my fireball causing it to smoulder into embers. One flicker of flame actually hit its eye causing it to groan and close its eyes. Not wasting the opportunity I rushed towards the disc tar red monster with my mana burst active. I took a wide swing at its gullet with the purpose to let's it's guts fall out.
Fate wasn't on my side however has the troll stamped near me with an impressive show off speed. I attributed that to the enhancements, so I swung at its leg and severed its tendon causing it to howl and topple down. I jumped to decapitate it but it opened its mouth and released a foul smelling blast of ice at me. I pulled my Ling Crow cloak around my blocking the attack but not stopping myself from being flung away.
After getting up I saw that I left a cut across its chest which it was nursing slightly. It was only skin deep but the thought of me splitting it into frightened it slightly. It narrowed its eyes in rage before rushing towards me with a kick off its usable leg.
It swung its mace towards me so I enhanced the weapon and sliced through the metal. The troll looked at its weapon in confusion as to why it's lighter. Magic doesn't work much against them so I blasted forward and drove long claw into the trolls eye socket killing it instantly. The issue was the body collapsed atop me. It required a few seconds to get the blubber bastard off me.
Once I did I heard Quirrel screaming before a gas cloud with a face flew out of the room. I entered and passed through the flames without any issue. Well I had some mild cuts and scratches but nothing serious. I saw Harry asleep on the ground with a worried expression plastered on his face. I sighed seeing him alright as I may have derailed plot at some point.
Looking around the room quickly I spotted the stone not to far from Harry. I remembered my earlier idea and grinned. A second later I smashed my sword down atop the stone breaking bit. The red rock began to fade in colour as it smashed apart. A faint moaning echoed out from the stone before it vanished. I stored my weapon away in my hammer space or my inner world as i should say.
As it vanished I noticed how the wolf sculpture on the pommel of long claw gained ruby eyes. This made me grin as I theorised that maybe our weapons share the same properties as the sword of Gryffindor. I went back to Harry and set him upright before I heard the claspering of shoes hitting the floor.
I looked up to see an elderly wizard with thinking eyes accompanied by a few of my professors. "Did you spot the wraith on its way out?" I asked which made them panic. After that everything was a blur as we were all escorted to the hospital wing for a check up.
