The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 78 Reward
In the Gryffindor common room, the twins wanted to ask Ada how her detention was and whether Snape had given her trouble. However, Ada was exhausted and didn't say much to the twins. She just said a few perfunctory words and returned to the dormitory.

Fred and George felt distressed and angry when they saw Ada's exhausted figure. They had planned to deal with Toler slowly, but when they saw Ada's state, they couldn't bear it anymore. They just let the twins and Lee Jordan search the Gryffindor common room thoroughly, but they couldn't find Toler. He never came back.

In the hall, Professor McGonagall called Toller away in front of all the Gryffindors. She looked calm and her tone was no different from usual, but everyone knew that Toller was in big trouble.

After being called away, Toller never came back. It was obvious that he was put in detention by Professor McGonagall. But it was unclear how long the detention would last. Was it a week, half a month, or a month?

Curfew had arrived and most of the students in the common room had returned to their dormitories. Fred and George kept their eyes on the entrance to the common room, waiting for Toler to come back.

After a while, the twins who were blocking the door of the lounge successfully waited for Toller to come back. Not only did they wait for Toller, they also waited for Professor McGonagall to come with him.

Toller stood behind Professor McGonagall with his hands clenched into fists, his eyes red, like a rabbit.

"Fred, George, come out with me."

Professor McGonagall waved to the twins, and the two brothers had no choice but to let Toller go and followed McGonagall out of the common room, leaving Toller alone, walking towards the dormitory with his head down.

Some students wanted to ask Toler what happened, and some wanted to know what punishment he received, but no matter what people around him said or asked, Toler said nothing and walked straight in with his head down.

Lee Jordan, Angelina, and Alia blocked Toler's way back to the dormitory and stopped him. Lee Jordan said sternly, "Don't think we will let you go just because you act like you've been wronged!"

Toller still ignored him and kept walking forward with his head down. He pushed away Lee Jordan who was blocking his way and passed through the gap between Lee Jordan and Alia. He didn't seem to take the threat seriously.

When Toler lay down on the bed in the dormitory, the twins returned to the dormitory, and the three friends hurried to greet them. Ada went back to the dormitory to rest without saying anything. The friends needed the twins to come up with an idea.

"What did Professor McGonagall say?" Alia asked. "Did she say how she punished Toller?"

Fred shook his head and said, "Go back and have a good rest. You still have classes tomorrow."

The words "have a good rest" and "go to class" came out of Fred's mouth, which somewhat surprised the three friends who stayed in the lounge. This was not the Fred they knew! Angelina looked at George and found that the expression on George's face was similar to Fred's. They were both trying to control their emotions and not let it burst out.

"That Toler..."

Angelina was interrupted by George before she finished her words. He said, "Take good care of Ada. She looks very tired."

The two girls nodded and walked back to the girls' dormitory, and the twins also went back to their own dormitory with Lee Jordan to rest.

Angelina and Alia returned to the dormitory and looked at Ada lying on the bed. She looked really tired. She didn't even take off her school robe. One shoe was on the ground and the other shoe was still hanging on her foot.

Angelina pulled Ada out of bed and asked her to change into pajamas before going to sleep. Alia poured two glasses of water, one for Ada to drink and one for her to put on the bedside table. That night, Ada was tortured by a headache like a needle prick. She tossed and turned until the sky outside the window was slightly bright, and she reluctantly fell asleep.

After a good night's sleep, Ada felt better and her headache was relieved, but she still looked a little listless. She spent the morning class in a daze and didn't remember anything about what the professor said.

This state lasted until the afternoon, when Ada finally recovered completely. She also remembered to check what reward the system had given her.

When Ada first saw the name of this reward, she thought the system was going to give her some kind of magic called "clone magic". If she could really clone herself, wouldn't it mean that she could outnumber others in future duels?

If she could create many clones, she could achieve all-round fire coverage. Others cast spells one at a time, but Ada can cast many spells at once. How can she not win?
However, the reward given by the system was somewhat suspicious of the title party. The clone was indeed a clone, but it was not a magic. The system rewarded her with a puppet, a puppet for trial.

This puppet can practice actual combat with Ada, simulating a variety of fighting styles, thereby enhancing Ada's experience in fighting wizards, which is equivalent to a personal trainer.

There are three difficulty levels for the dolls: normal, difficult, and Dumbledore. Only the normal mode is currently open. Only after clearing the normal mode and getting a rating of three stars or above can you unlock the next stage.

This trial doll is exactly what Ada has always desired. She hopes to transform the magic she has mastered into real strength, rather than just limiting it to theory.

Last year, Foley was constantly suppressed in the Forbidden Forest because of the difference in strength and experience. Foley's spells took Ada a lot of effort to resolve, but Foley could always resolve Ada's attacks easily.

Fuli was also much better than Ada in casting and linking spells, which made his attack more rapid and reasonable, and hard to defend against. Ada, who was bullied by Fuli, also fully realized the gap between herself and others.

The only drawback is that the trial doll cannot be thrown out to assist in battle, and it can only be used by Ada herself and cannot be shared with others. However, Ada does not have to rack her brains to make up the origin of the doll, after all, the alchemy products on the market cannot reach this level.

The classroom was filled with the sound of chanting spells, but Ada seemed absent-minded. She was looking forward to the end of the get out of class so that she could test her new doll.

After dinner, Ada took the Marauder's Map from the twins. The brothers didn't ask her what she was going to do, but just told her to come back early and not too late.

The twins' behavior was a little abnormal, and Ada was just a little surprised, but she didn't ask. She thought the twins had gotten into trouble behind her back and were now hiding.

On the fifth floor of the castle, Ada was standing in front of a large mirror. She had used the Marauder's Map to carefully observe that there was no one nearby. Ada whispered to herself in the mirror, "Show me the world in the mirror!"

The large mirror slowly disappeared, revealing the entrance hidden behind it. Ada entered the entrance with familiarity and walked along the long tunnel towards the bottom of the castle.

The giant underground room remained the same, except that there was more rubble on the ground and there was one more collapsed giant statue. The underground room was more dangerous than when it was discovered last year.

Ada took out a small ball from her pocket and threw it hard. A ray of light flashed and the trial doll appeared in front of Ada. A familiar machine-synthesized voice came out of the mouth of the trial doll, saying, "The trial is about to begin. Please be prepared, host!"
