The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 325 Turning Against Each Other (A Long Chapter of 3,000 Words)

"Marcus, just go for it."

Moriarty smirked. Jericho wanted to play, so he'd play along.

Maybe we can catch a big fish.

That's right, Moriarty doesn't believe Jericho has dumped Helena and gotten together with the twin-tailed girl.

Even though Jericho and the twin-tailed girl acted as if they were deeply in love, Moriarty didn't believe it.

Jericho isn't that kind of person.

Jericho was his roommate, played Quidditch with him, and fought alongside him.

Whether it was in class, Quidditch, or vampires and Dracula, Jericho was always with him. He knew Jericho better than anyone.

Marcus, however, didn't quite trust Jericho's character. After obtaining Moriarty's permission, he immediately waved to the group of small snakes.

"Come with me, let's teach that mad Jericho and that self-important Japanese woman a lesson!"

More than twenty sixth and seventh graders followed Marcus and stormed up to the Slytherin table.

The towering snakes instantly surrounded the Japanese students. Marcus roared mercilessly, "Slytherin doesn't tolerate shameless clowns! Get out of here in three seconds! Or I promise to give you a curse!"

Twin Ponytail exploded, slamming his fist on the table and leaping up: "We've come all the way from the far east, and this is how you welcome your guests? You're going to unleash a curse? Fine, let's see what you're capable of!"

With her twin ponytails crossed over her arms, she glared at Marcus with a defiant look on her face.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

One after another, the Japanese students drew their magic wands.

This action stunned the surrounding students. Had the Japanese students gone mad? They had just arrived at Hogwarts and were already going against their master?

The little snakes hadn't expected the Japanese student council to be so arrogant, but there were four members of the Hogwarts pure-blood army in the seventh year.

They possess excellent combat skills; upon seeing a stranger pointing at them, they reflexively raise their hands, their wands swiftly springing from their wand sets into their hands, their magic gathering at the tip of the wand, and pointing it at the Japanese student.

"Counterattack!"

As if reminded, the other snakes also pointed their wands at the arrogant foreigner in front of them.

"Time is up!"

Marcus growled, staring intently at a tall boy.

"No one can trample on the glory of Slytherin!"

He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!

Marcus struck first, a spell that struck the tall boy like a speeding train.

"Thump!"

The tall man fell straight down and lost consciousness.

As if receiving a command, the little snakes launched an attack!

"Disarm you!"

He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!

"A dragon has emerged from its cave!"

This time it was the Japanese students who were surprised; they never expected that the Hogwarts students would attack first!

Weren't we all supposed to be gentlemen in England?

These fierce-looking guys in front of me, hurling evil curses, must be dark wizards in disguise!

Caught off guard, a large number of Japanese students collapsed.

However, there were many of them, more than fifty in total. The snakes knocked down more than twenty in the first wave, and the rest began to fight back.

"Fire magic, Great Fireball!"

"Water magic, Water Wave!"

"Wind magic, Gale!"

"Earth magic, Meteor Fall!"

More than ten red-robed wizards, who were Yuan Gu's personal disciples, used elemental magic.

The remaining golden-robed wizards summoned their shikigami.

"Shikigami, paper drawing!"

"Shikigami, Onikiri!"

"Shikigami, Zang Nu!"

"Shikigami, Orochimaru!"

The area above and to the sides of the long table suddenly became crowded, with many shikigami over five meters tall, most of them using physical attacks to approach the small snake.

Fireballs, water bombs, and rocks kept falling from the sky, while wind blades blew in from the side.

The students immediately scattered, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.

"You dare to resist!"

Marcus appeared furious; he has always had a short temper.

Now that they have magical creatures at their disposal, they feel even more confident.

Marcus reached under his school uniform and pulled a purse that had shrunk to the size of a fingernail from his pocket.

After the bag was restored to its original shape and size, Marcus sneered, "Try this!"

"Whoosh—"

Marcus unzipped the purse, and four dark figures darted out!

Two of them flew into the air; one was the Winged Demon, and the other was the Wicked Bird.

Two creatures darted onto the floor: a fire crab and a fire ash snake.

The four most magical creatures in the wizarding world!

Marcus collected them through family connections and trained them to be completely obedient to him, achieving what Newt couldn't.

The winged demon resembles a bat, with a pair of green and blue wings already spread out.

The feathers of the harlequin are multicolored, like an overturned paint box, with orange, pink, lime green, or yellow mixed together, and when it flaps its wings, it looks like a leaping rainbow.

The Fire Gray Snake was very thin, with a grayish-white body and red eyes, crawling around the feet of the Japanese students.

There was also a fire crab on the ground, which spewed flames from its tail and set fire to the robe of a fat Japanese man.

"A burning smell... What's on fire? Oh no, my robe!"

"My robe is on fire too!"

"That bat-like thing flew straight at my head!"

The Japanese students started to riot, and panicked shouts could be heard everywhere.

"That's a winged demon; it eats human brains!"

"Fire crab, fire ash snake, evil bird!"

"Merlin, they're all three-star magical creatures!"

The young wizards at Hogwarts also recognized the magical creature and retreated.

"I won't let them hurt you, I'll just teach these arrogant foreigners a lesson!" Marcus grinned at his classmates, then glared fiercely at the Japanese students.

His move immediately changed the course of the game!

Marcus exuded confidence and stood tall with his head held high.

This performance made others look at him in a different light. In the past, Marcus had always appeared as Moriarty's sidekick and was not particularly outstanding among the boys in Slytherin.

Now it seems that perhaps Marcus, not Jericho, is the second most important person after Moriarty.

The young wizards all had the same idea, and some were already looking at Jericho.

Jericho's expression was somewhat subtle, a mixture of surprise and something that no one could understand.

"Huh? What do we do?"

The girl with twin ponytails clung to Jericho's arm, wishing she could melt into Jericho's body.

"Kosan~ I'm so scared~"

The cloying voice rang out, and the students rolled their eyes at the source. Jericho snorted, pulled his twin ponytails to his feet, and pulled out his wand with his other hand, raising it high.

"All curses have ended!"

Jericho's surging magic spread outwards, seemingly affecting reality and turning it into an illusion.

As if reality had been paused, all the spells and magic vanished, and the four magical creatures "whooshed" back into Marcus's bag.

"Is that Curse-Stop?"

"It has such a powerful effect!?"

Everyone was extremely surprised.

Jericho, who is known as the number two in Slytherin, is indeed quite capable!

But what is he trying to do by staring so intently at Marcus?

"Kosan~ You're amazing!"

The girl with twin ponytails jumped up and hugged Jericho, her eyes filled with adoration.

Jericho smiled and stared coldly at Marcus.

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show them to me!"

Marcus roared, "Jellicoe! You've really lost your mind, you're like a..."

"That's enough!"

Jericho roared, his face burning with rage.

"I've had enough of being with you day and night. Being with you will eventually turn me into a slave, like a house-elves!"

"Jellico... what nonsense are you talking about?"

Marcus and the snakes were both visibly shocked and enraged.

"Heh, don't you understand?"

Jericho glared at the little snakes, and Marcus could clearly see contempt and disgust in his eyes!

In Jericho's eyes, his former companions were not even worth as much as an ant.

"You people have all been brainwashed by him!"

Jericho points to Moriarty!

The onlookers were so surprised they were speechless.

However, Jericho's story was not over yet.

He sneered at Moriarty, saying mockingly, "Did you hear that? I've seen through your scheme. You won't control us, you won't turn us into your slaves!"

"Jellicoe, you're insane!"

Lilith burst out from behind Moriarty like a female leopard, looking as if she was about to slap Jericho across the face.

As he passed by, Moriarty wrapped his arms around Lilith, holding her tightly around the waist to prevent her from taking another step forward.

"Heh, you're hopeless," Jericho chuckled coldly, "but I'm glad I came to my senses—I've wanted to overthrow you for a long time, Moriarty!"

"Now I've finally got my chance, a perfect chance!"

Jericho's lips curled into an exaggerated smile as he glanced at the twin-tailed students, the Japanese students, and the American students standing on the periphery, and then waved.

"Come join me! Let's dominate the upcoming competitions and events! We are the future of the magical world! Let's start now and take over the world!"

The Hogwarts students, especially the little snakes, stared blankly at Jericho. Aren't you ashamed of such a childish statement?

But Japanese students really like this; it's like chuunibyou (a Japanese term for adolescent delusions of grandeur) is etched into their very souls.

"Yoshi! Kosan, lead us to conquer the world!"

The girl with twin ponytails seemed to have little stars in her eyes.

"Conquer the world!"

The Japanese students started yelling and shouting.

Jericho nodded in satisfaction. "This table is yours for today. We'll acquire something of even greater status than this long table sooner or later!"

With a cold remark, Jericho made a "throat-cutting" gesture toward Moriarty.

Many young wizards were furious.

"Sir? You want us to beat him up?"

Why get angry over an ungrateful person?

A casual voice came from behind.

Moriarty stepped out from the passage cleared by the crowd and walked right up to Jericho.

"Do you want to conquer the world?"

"Get rid of that idea as soon as possible, because you won't be able to control what happens next."

Moriarty stared intently into Jericho's eyes.

"Really?" Jericho tilted his head back. "We'll see."

After he finished speaking, he left, with the Japanese and American students following behind Jericho.

Helena, who had been persuaded to return by Penelope and Tonks, saw this scene and ran out sadly again.
