The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 288 Six Days and Seven Nights at the Magic Institute (Part 4)

Jericho stared at Genya, his eyes gleaming: "Finally, I've found a breakthrough."

"I get the feeling you want to rip Yuan Gu's brain out," Lilith said with a smile.

"Don't cause trouble," Jericho waved his hand, looking at Moriarty with hope: "Genya, as Kogoro Tsukamura's classmate, must have a deep impression of Kogoro Tsukamura."

Moriarty shook his head decisively, and under Jericho's shocked gaze, slowly said, "Have Tsuchimikado arrange a room for us. After dinner, we'll discuss this matter in detail."

Jericho and Lilith, seeing that Moriarty was keeping them in suspense, both looked at him with somewhat resentful eyes.

Moriarty shook his head and smiled. It wasn't that he wanted to keep people in suspense, but rather that the fragments he saw in Yuan Gu's memories were too terrifying, and he had to cut some out before telling Jericho.

Otherwise, he was afraid Jericho and the others would be terrified.

At Jericho's instruction, the man in white quickly arranged rooms for everyone: one for Simon's family, one for Lilith and the Slit-Mouthed Woman, and one for Moriarty and Jericho.

Genya, however, was rendered oblivious by Moriarty's forgetting spell, forgetting that Moriarty had used Legilimency on him, and returned to classroom 404 to give a lecture to his students.

Jericho chuckled and said, "Young lady, be careful not to let the Slit-Mouthed Woman cut a big gash in your mouth with scissors."

"Hmph." Lilith sneered a few times, secretly glancing at the Slit-Mouthed Woman, a mad smile curling at the corner of her mouth. The Slit-Mouthed Woman seemed to be a good experimental subject.

A short while later, the man in white robes prepared dinner, and after everyone had eaten, they returned to their respective rooms.

Jericho wanted to savor the taste of Japanese cuisine a little longer, so Moriarty pulled him back to his room.

Lilith was already waiting there, a hint of impatience on her face.

"What did you discover that makes you so secretive?"

No one knows where they'll go tomorrow, so tonight might be Lilith's only chance to strike against the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

Lilith naturally wanted to get back to her room as soon as possible.

Moriarty stopped keeping everyone in suspense and unveiled a long-forgotten story.

Genya, Kogoro Tsukamura, and Tsukamura Kureno, the Japanese black wizard Moriarty encountered in the Himalayas, were classmates.

They were six years younger than James and Sirius's generation, so they could be considered to be of the same generation.

But while James and Sirius were enjoying the magic at Hogwarts, Genya was not happy.

It's all because of Kogoro Tsukamura, or rather, the Tsukamura family.

In the Japanese magic world, besides the two top families, Tsuchimikado and Tokugawa, there are many other families, large and small.

The Tsukamura family is quite unique. For generations, they have worshipped the fire crow shikigami, which is said to have displayed great power during the Warring States period and is the guardian deity of the Tsukamura family.

Backed by the Fire Crow Shikigami, the Tsukamura family established the Giant Crow Society, an assassin society dedicated to carrying out assassination missions.

"And then? Is the Tsukamura family hiding a shocking secret?"

Lilith raised an eyebrow at Moriarty, her thoughts of using the Slit-Mouthed Woman for experiments fading considerably.

If the Tsukamura family were only like this, Moriarty wouldn't have survived to this day.

Moriarty continued, explaining that Kogoro Tsukamura, as the only direct descendant of the Tsukamura family, was greatly favored by the family.

"Wait a minute," Jericho raised his hand to ask, "I didn't mean to interrupt you, sir, but how could Kogoro Tsukamura be the only son of the Tsukamura family?"

Even among direct descendants, Kogoro Tsukamura is the fifth child; it's unclear if he has any younger brothers, but he has at least four older brothers.

Moriarty gave Jericho a wistful look: "Genya isn't a member of the Tsukamura family, so he doesn't know. But I suspect that all four of Tsukamura Kogoro's older brothers are dead."

The story continues.

During his school years, Kogoro Tsukamura was arrogant and domineering, arbitrarily suppressing and bullying his classmates.

Just as James and Sirius lured Snape to the Shrieking Shack, Lupin, now a werewolf, nearly killed Snape.

Kogoro Tsukamura and Kureno Tsukamura, along with their henchmen, lured a group of classmates into a temple. A fire crow shikigami rushed out and devoured many of them alive.

"They actually dared to feed students to shikigami!" Jericho clenched his fists, his eyes filled with rage.

"Shikigami eating people? Unheard of!" A glint of light flashed in Lilith's eyes. "Where's Genya?"

At the critical moment, Genya was saved by his professor, Yoru Kageyu.

From then on, Yuan Gu followed Ye Jingyu wholeheartedly.

However, Yoru Kageyu didn't seem to care about Genya. After teaching Genya's class, and seeing that Genya's school uniform had turned gold, he left the magic institute.

Yuan Gu asked all the classmates and professors around him, but no one knew where Ye Jingyu had gone.

One of the main purposes of Genya's return to the magic institute as a professor is to review the professor departure records.

When Yuan Gu obtained the record, he saw that it only contained one sentence: Night view tour of Eastern Europe.

Yuan Gu was disheartened; his strength and assets were insufficient to support him on a trip.

In addition, with Voldemort lurking in Europe at the time, Genya gave up the idea of ​​finding Yoruichi and devoted himself to staying at the Magic Institute.

However, Yuan Gu was not a magnanimous wizard.

He could not forget the humiliation that Tsukamura Kogoro had brought him.

Over the past decade, Yuan Valley has repeatedly clashed with Pang Ya Society.

In order to avoid being discovered, Genya concealed his true face and created a false identity: the Edo Shinigami (Grim Reaper).

Genya also contacted several other classmates who harbored resentment towards Kogoro Tsukamura; they were all classmates who had survived the incident.

Together they formed an Edo Alliance specifically targeting the Pang Ya Society.

The alliance consists of seven members: Edo Shinigami, Edo Shimei, Edo Nanichi, Edo Ai, Edo Kyokukaku, Edo Tao, and Edo Yukimitsu.

If the French underworld is a mixed bag, teeming with magical creatures like vampires and werewolves.

Japan's underworld is rife with gangsters.

Gradually, the Edo Alliance's targets for fighting were no longer limited to the Pang Ya Association; they also took action against other gangs that committed crimes.

This led to the Edo Alliance becoming very well-known in the Japanese underworld.

As everyone knows, Yuan Gu swallowed a cloud of black mist and awakened three elemental magics: fire, wind, and water.

As Genya grew in power and sought to change the magic system of Japan, he naturally incurred the hostility of the Japanese Ministry of Magic.

Genya also knew that he could not achieve his ambitions by fighting alone, so he taught elemental magic to some students.

These students were handpicked by Genya; they were kind-hearted, disliked shikigami, were quick-witted, and quickly learned elemental magic.

However, in Moriarty's eyes, Genya could barely be considered to have learned elemental magic, while the other students could only be said to be able to control fireballs.

It is also worth mentioning that Genya, who awakened elemental magic, has not contacted the other six members of the Edo Alliance since.

The Grim Reaper of Edo disappeared as if he were dead.

"Alright, that concludes the story of Gendo," Moriarty said, looking at Jericho and Lilith with interest. "I'd like to hear your thoughts."

"If Genya can maintain the persona of the Edo Grim Reaper, and recruit and integrate the power of the underground yakuza, overthrowing the Ministry of Magic will become much easier."

Lilith said.

"Good idea, insightful. The Ministry of Magic isn't yours to wreak havoc on." Moriarty gave a thumbs up.

"Hehe, this time I think the young lady is right," Jericho Inui laughed. "The essence of the magic system is magic, that's true, but it is the wizards who established the magic system. Genya got these two points backwards."

"If I were Source Valley, I would first merge the Underworld," Lilith said confidently, "and then send people to negotiate with the Ministry of Magic, forcing them to endorse elemental magic."

After being officially recognized, elemental magic was vigorously promoted as a new magic system.

The conflict between elemental magic and shikigami (spirits) has been transformed into a struggle between two major political factions.

Lilith added dismissively, "Following Genya's method, he'll make enemies everywhere like a politically clueless fool."

If it weren't for the interest of the powerful figures in the Japanese magical world in elemental magic, Genya wouldn't have survived a month.

"Well," Jericho glanced at Lilith and said to Moriarty, "she said everything I wanted to say."

"It seems we've reached a consensus this time," Moriarty chuckled. "Yuan Gu isn't a scheming or cunning wizard."

"agree."

"agree."

"Now we can shift our focus," Moriarty said, squinting as he outlined the next steps. "Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the Fire-Sinking Temple and take a look at the fire crow that almost devoured the Source Valley."

Lilith nodded in agreement with Jericho, and after confirming that Moriarty had nothing else to do, Lilith returned to her room.

"Snap!"

Lilith locked the door from the inside.

The Slit-Mouthed Woman, who was lying in bed reading, suddenly shivered. She looked up and found Lilith staring at her strangely.

"brush!"

Lilith produced a large syringe from somewhere and walked step by step toward the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

"Ah~"

Soon, the screams of the Slit-Mouthed Woman echoed through the room.

"Ya ma di~"
