Wizardry System - Chapter 49

Due to Chris knowing the contents of the test, he knew that he would be able to pass. The only problem was that he only practiced enough to get a high grade rather than trying to get extra credit.

While Snape tests were easily conquered as he just made the Forgetfulness Potion as fast as he possibly could, Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall’s tests were slightly more difficult.

“Arca Verto,” Chris chanted. He did practice this spell a bit in the Practice Room, but he wasn’t sure how it would turn out. The mouse started to slowly change into a box and Chris knew that he would pass after around 2 more seconds, but he needed to put in the details for the quest. He started to think about the details of the beautiful snuff boxes that he searched up on the Internet in his previous world due to being curious about what it was. The box itself was formed, but the details started to form excruciatingly slowly as Chris did not level up the spell high enough for him to put in the details quickly.

After about 15 seconds, the details of the box were finally put in, leaving a beautiful golden box with Egyptian drawings as Chris always believed that Egyptian drawings were much more beautiful on boxes like these.

“Well Mr. Evergreen, that is very beautiful. If I didn’t see you transfigure this box, I would’ve thought that this was a precious artifact in Egypt,” Professor McGonagall said with a smile.

“Thank you Professor,” Chris said.

“Oh yes, Mr. Evergreen, you were captain for the entire year and you have not used a single one of those favors. The others have already used their favors already. Since those favors do not carry onto the next year, do you want to exchange yours for money or is there something that we can do for you currently?”

‘System can the money they give me be part of my personal wealth so that I can buy stuff from the System or is it money that I can’t use?’ Chris asked.

[The money that you personally earn is money that you are able to spend here in the System. However, you are not allowed to spend any money that you earn through inheritance or through family businesses for system items or spells. The only businesses that you can earn money that is usable in the System is when you open your own business with your own money.]

‘Well I guess that isn’t a problem then,’ Chris thought. ‘Family money isn’t the only thing that in my disposal. I have family influence, manpower, and etc. If I do need any financial ȧssistance, I’ll just get a loan from my father,’

“I would like to convert my favors to Galleons please,” Chris said.

“Very well. You will be receiving 8 Galleons. On the last day of school, Professor Flitwick will come and give you a pouch containing the 8 Galleons,” Professor McGonagall said.

“Thank you Professor,” Chris said.

“No, this is all due to your strength. Even after school ends, please practice. I’m sure your father will allow it,” Professor McGonagall said with a smile.

‘Damn, she’s outright telling me to break the rules here,’ Chris thought. ‘I know she was a cool character, but now that I’ve actually had contact, she’s so much cooler than I thought,’

“That is all. Please leave so that I can test the next student,” Professor McGonagall said.

“So how was it?” Hermione asked.

“Well she said that I should start looking for a job as an artifact counterfeiter,” Chris said jokingly.

“Stop joking around,” Hermione said. “Well looking at your confidence, I suppose you did alright,”

They moved on to Charms and Chris tried to make the pineapple do advanced tap dancing which made Professor Flitwick smile. Although the dancing wasn’t perfect, the number went up from a 3-4 for Chris’ quest.

‘Luckily, I used everything I could to make that pineapple do some fancy dances, or else I probably would’ve failed this quest,’ Chris thought.

The next 3 classes, History of Magic, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Astronomy had simple written exams and while Chris was bored out of his mind taking those tests he managed to get extra credit on all of it.

At the end of all of the exams, Chris got his reward from the System.

[You have completed the Quest. You have received 15,000 EXP, 3 Galleons and 5 Sickles (due to the wand effect), and 1 bottle of Fire-Repelling potions and its recipe. You are now level 46. You have 23 G, 5 S, and 0 K.]

‘There you go. Now that I got the Fire-Repelling Potion, I don’t have to worry about anything during the events of the 1st book. Now all I have to do is go with Harry and the rest down there,’

“So Chris, what are we going to do about the Stone?” Kristine asked. “I mean that’s the answer to the riddle right?”

“Well to be honest, we don’t even need to do anything. The person who’s responsible for the break-in at Gringotts will strike tonight and that’s when we’ll swoop in for the prize,” Chris said.

“How do you know that?” Hermione asked.

“Think about it. Hogwarts isn’t going to be the last place they’ll put the stone in so by logic, they should move it by next year so it’s the perfect time to strike now,” Chris said. “Furthermore, I don’t think we’re the only people to know what’s about to happen,”

Like he said, during dinner, Harry, Ron, and Se-yeon sat next to them. First they talked about the exams, but soon Harry moved on to the main topic.

“Guys, I think that Voldemort is going to strike tonight,” Harry said. “I talked to one of our friends Hagrid and whoever is planning all this got all the information they need,”

Hermione looked at Chris with a slightly surprised face.

“Well then do you need our help?” Chris asked.

“No I don’t want to drag you guys into this- my mess,” Harry said. “I just wanted to talk to you guys about this before going in. I just thought that you guys all had the rights to know,”

“What do we mean we?” Ron asked. “We’re going too,”

“Yeah, what kind of friends would we be if we just left you alone like that,” Se-yeon said.

“Well then us three will be going too,” Chris said. “People say 2 heads are better than 1, but I also think that 6 heads that really do get along with each other are much better than 2 heads,”
