The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 292 Six Days and Seven Nights at the Magic Institute (7)

Jericho stood up and confidently walked toward a classroom.

Moriarty and Lilith were surprised. Did they need to go to the classroom to find out about the Tsukamura family's things?

They got up and followed, and found Jericho and Yua Tokugawa chatting together, the classroom door open.

I don't know what Jericho said, but Tokugawa Yua laughed so hard she was shaking, her twin ponytails bobbing up and down.

Moriarty and Jericho immediately understood Jericho's plan. They exchanged a smile, realizing that if the Tsukamura family sent a large number of dark wizards to infiltrate the magic institute, they would definitely not be able to bypass the two major families.

The Tsuchimikado family made it clear that they would not get involved in this matter, but the Tokugawa family would not.

The young Tokugawa lord with twin tails likely knows something, and Moriarty isn't worried at all about whether Jericho can get information out of her.

Ten minutes later, Jericho walked out of the classroom with a satisfied look on his face.

"I'm telling you, you'd never guess that the Tsukamura and Tokugawa families have joined forces!"

Jericho had just returned when he revealed the information he had gotten from the twin-tailed girl.

"According to Twintails, the Tsukamura family sent no fewer than three hundred dark wizards to infiltrate the school with only one goal: to take our lives."

"The Tsukamura family certainly thinks highly of us," Lilith habitually crossed her arms and let out a cold laugh. "Three hundred dark wizards? I think they've mobilized the entire force of the family and the Crow Society."

"How many black wizards did the Tokugawa family send?" Moriarty asked Jericho, his eyes gleaming.

In his view, the Tsukamura family was not a threat; rather, it was the Tokugawa family's involvement that made things more complicated.

"We don't know the exact number of people with twin tails, we only know it's a group, and the number of people is probably no more than 10."

However, the girl with twin tails also mentioned that the Tokugawa group seemed to be looking for something at the magic institute, not us.

Jericho answered truthfully, while also wondering what the Tokugawa family was trying to do!

"Searching for?" Moriarty's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he activated the Alchemy Matrix, incorporating recent events into it, his brain calculating at lightning speed.

In just three seconds, Moriarty seemed to see through the fog and grasp the plans of all parties.

The Tokugawa family has always been the head of the magic academy. If there were anything hidden in this school, the Tokugawa family would have found it long ago.

However, the Tokugawa family has now unusually allied with the Tsukamura family, sending a team to infiltrate the school with a search mission.

This suggests that there is a certain element within magic that has recently emerged and is quite important to the Tokugawa family.

This existence could be either an object or a person.

The only people who have recently appeared at the Magic Bureau are the group I brought with me.

Lilith, Jericho, Simon, Natalie, Ilan, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, and herself.

Who among these people is someone the Tokugawa family is determined to acquire?

Moriarty recalled how he met Simon's family and how he met the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

The candidate has been selected!

While his mind raced with thoughts, Moriarty remained outwardly composed.

"Jellico, did the twin tails mention when they sneaked into the school?"

"She was reluctant to tell me at first, but I promised to take her to France for vacation next summer, so she told me everything."

Jericho grinned, clearly pleased with himself.

Lilith frowned, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly as she worried about Jericho and Helena's relationship.

"I must remind you, you have a girlfriend."

"Of course I know," Jericho said with a disdainful look. "Do you think I'd be interested in a girl who'd betray the family's plans for a few favors?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me the time," Moriarty urged, his words revealing that he had never worried Jericho would betray their relationship.

Jericho sat up straight and said seriously, "They could come on any of the three days of August 27th, 28th, or 29th!"

"That's about the time I predicted," Moriarty nodded slightly, "and it also coincides with the start date of Hogwarts."

"We'll teach the Tsukamura family an unforgettable lesson, and then happily return to Hogwarts," Lilith said with a smile. "If that's the outcome, my trip to Japan will be perfect."

"I can make your trip to Japan even more perfect—take this opportunity to wipe out the Tsukamura family!" Moriarty revealed a murderous smile.

Jericho's eyes lit up: "An opportunity?"

It was clearly an attack by three hundred dark wizards, so how could Moriarty see it as an opportunity?

"If there's no opportunity, we can create one." Moriarty smiled meaningfully. "In the Magic Institute, we're not the only ones determined to destroy the Tsukamura family."

"Oh?" Lilith thought of someone: "Yuan Gu?"

"That's him. Let's go talk to him." Moriarty stood up.

For two days in a row, the magic institute was calm and peaceful.

Moriarty knew that the Tsukamura family's dark wizards would infiltrate the school on August 29.

At 7 p.m. that evening, Moriarty and his group finished their dinner, which was delivered by Tsuchimikado, as usual. Then, a series of "Apparition" sounds rang out outside the Tengu Hall.

Several short wizards, their bodies shrouded in black robes, appeared in front of the Tengu Hall.

"Master," a black wizard from the Tsukamura family said to the old man surrounded by the crowd, "According to the intelligence provided by the Tokugawa family, the British wizard who destroyed the Divine Fire Raven is in the hall!"

The Tokugawa family evacuated the students beforehand, so we can attack at will.

"Hmm," the old man said in a deep voice, his voice carrying an air of authority, "then stop hiding, everyone come out!"

"Hi!"

The sound of slapping immediately became incessant, reaching the ears of Moriarty and his companions.

Jericho scoffed, "The Tsukamura family is too arrogant. What's the difference between using Apparition and walking into the magic palace openly—they don't take us seriously!"

"They deployed three hundred dark wizards. They thought they had us cornered, so naturally they won't obediently sneak into the campus."

Lilith drew her wand. Today she wasn't wearing a large mask, and her mouth had returned to its normal size. She curled the corners of her lips into a cold smile.

"Arrogance will come at a price. Let us teach the Tsukamura family this lesson," Moriarty said slowly and deliberately.

But his hands moved swiftly; the Slytherin staff appeared in his hand, pointed at the ground, and instantly froze, spreading outwards along the corridor.

"Simon," Moriarty instructed everyone, "Go back to your rooms and don't come out. I've set up a barrier that no wizard can open. Stay inside safely."

Simon nodded and left with his family and the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

"Jellicoe, Lilith, let's go."

Moriarty walked toward the entrance of the hall without stopping, and his clothes slowly transformed into a silver robe.

"Wow, that's cool!"

Jericho whistled and took off his outer garment as he walked, revealing the dragon-hide inner armor underneath.

"This is the symbol of the Hogwarts pure-blood army, ha ha ha!" Jericho drew his wand menacingly.

"Oh, a boy."

A smile appeared in Lilith's eyes as she looked at Moriarty and Jericho.

He secretly used a human transformation technique, and a surge of cold, white magic power began to flow.

This time, Lilith tried her best to control the white magic within her body.

The three walked out, while the black wizard from the Tsukamura family walked in.

The two sides met in the stairwell near the entrance of the Tengu Hall!

"Touch of Frost!"

Moriarty acted without hesitation, without uttering a single word or making any unnecessary movements.

He bent down slightly and plunged his staff deep into the ground.

The icy water elemental magic flowed into the earth, causing blue light to surge forth and be released in the form of ice.

"Click-clack click-clack..."

A sickeningly cold sound rang out from the black wizard.

The forty-odd dark wizards who stepped into the Tengu Hall were all frozen into human-shaped ice sculptures.

A ruthless glint flashed in Moriarty's eyes as he extended his right hand, palm facing forward.

He casually squeezed his fist, then clenched it tightly.

The magic surged forth, a cold wave erupted, and a sudden blizzard enveloped the ice sculptures, turning them into giant rice dumplings.

"Bang!"

An ice sculpture exploded, sending blood and bits of flesh flying through the air, while shards of ice collided, producing a pleasant, crisp sound.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

A series of explosions rang out, and the ice sculptures shattered completely!

The blood froze quickly upon hitting the ground.

Frost enveloped chunks of blurred flesh, and the cold wind carried the stench of blood into the nostrils of the dark wizard outside the door.

"Ding-dong~"

The system notification read: "The system detected that the host has eliminated 46 dark wizards, gaining 28640 points."
