3. Seeking Information
Tom woke up in the morning on the sofa in front of the television.
His back was hurting. He used the Revivify spell, a simple healing spell, to ease the pain.
Tom went to his room to change, but he didn't like the clothes in his wardrobe. He's sure that Miller has bad taste. He used his Transfiguration spell to change into a pair of old-fashioned black trousers and a black shirt. Since it was August and he wasn't going into the forest like last time, he didn't need to dress warmly.
Looking in the mirror, he saw that he had a bit of stubble. He was growing a beard for the first time in his life. In his last body, he had no hair on his body because his body had been deformed by black magic.
He thought he was handsome. He didn't care about his own type when he was only after power.
He thought he could read anyone's mind to learn how to drive. Tom did a lot of mind magic and experimented on many people. He does not need to use a wand and words like other magicians, he just needs to look into the other person's eyes.
He didn't like riding a bike. Even though he wasn't as arrogant as before, he felt that the bike hid his greatness.
This time, he preferred to apparate. This teleportation spell can only teleport Tom to places he has been before.
He apparated to a secluded part of the town. A child screamed when he saw Tom appear out of nowhere. After casting a spell to silence the surrounding sounds, he erased the child's mind with a spell and left.
He was looking for someone who could drive. The policemen eating across the street were a perfect target.
Charlie was one of them. He looked into Charlie's eyes and directed his powerful magic at the other person. Charlie, as a normal person, could not stand it.
As his mind searched for memories of the ride, he saw that his daughter, Bella Swan, was planning to come to Forks. But he didn't care. When he found the memories he was looking for, he examined them thoroughly.
It only took 15 seconds and no one noticed.
Tom smiled. He is happy when he achieves something he wants.
He felt something strange from a passing car and looked at it. The driver looked at him too, he didn't think the driver was a normal person. He felt something strange about him. He was very curious about it, but he didn't have a chance to investigate.
After going to a secluded place and making sure no one saw him, he apparated back to the house.
He didn't train today and didn't want to. There was no need for him to train when he could simply regulate his body. With his magic power, he could treat objects weighing tons like paper.
It was around 2 pm. He planned to use the rest of the day to go over the high school's annual curriculum.
After his training at Magic School, these lessons and this plan seemed bad to him. But he didn't care, it wasn't his problem.
In fact, he can make money for himself with his transfiguration spell. But he didn't want people to suspect him. Because when the magic power you added to the spell runs out, the transformed things return to their previous state. Tom can continue this transformation for months with his magical powers, but Tom is not a man who likes to leave things to chance. This is a habit from his time as a Dark Lord.
It took him less time than he thought to review the high school's annual plan.
It was 7pm after dinner. He was bored and thought he might see something interesting outside, so he went for a walk.
He put on a coat.
He began to walk towards the forest. He began to feel a magical force deep in the forest and began to walk towards it.
