My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 378, Section 375: Emotional Stripping

"Don't worry, young master, I'm an extremely upright person in the Auror Command now. No one will find out that I'm actually a saint," Leon said with a grin.

Lynn nodded calmly, her face completely expressionless.

"What do you plan to do with those Dementors, young master? Should we try to recruit them? They seem completely terrified of you; we could give it a shot if we have the chance."

"I don't like these things. Dementors have no loyalty whatsoever; they'll follow whoever feeds them. Besides, their weakness is too obvious. They're not afraid of any wizard who can cast the Patronus Charm, so there's no need to recruit them. Let them be jailers in Azkaban for the rest of their lives."

Lynn said calmly.

Leon looked at him strangely, feeling that the young master was quite different from usual today.

He seemed indifferent to everything, and spoke with a cold indifference, like a complete stranger.

Leon stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowing deeply.

Although the total time spent with Lynn was not long, all the saints knew their young master's personality very well.

They regarded Lynn as the new leader after Grindelwald, but Lynn never treated them as servants. On the contrary, he treated them like elders, always very polite, and would visit them from time to time in Abros, always bringing some appropriate small gifts. This was why the elders of the saints liked their young master very much.

But Lynn today is very different.

Since Leon met him, he had never seen any change in Lynn's expression. His gaze was as flat as a stagnant pool, and his tone of voice was also completely flat, just like a robot.

"Is there a problem?" Lynn asked casually when he saw Leon stop.

Leon didn't speak immediately. He carefully examined Lynn from head to toe, and after confirming that Lynn was indeed Lynn and had not been replaced by anyone, he asked in a very serious tone.

"Young Master, have you ever been under any strange spells or drunk any unknown potions?"

After Leon said that, Lynn himself realized that something was wrong.

He now seems to have no desires or wants, is not interested in anything, and cannot muster any interest in anything. All his actions are purely driven by reason.

Even now that he has discovered this, he is not deeply moved, but reason tells Lynn that something is very wrong.

He recalled everything that had happened recently, and finally shook his head indifferently.

"No, I wasn't under any spell or drank any magic potion, but I used a very powerful spell."

Leon asked, puzzled, "What kind of curse would turn you into this? How do you feel about yourself right now?"

Lynn was silent for a moment, then spoke softly.

"I don't think about anything, I don't do anything, I empty my mind, and I'm driven by reason. Reason tells me what is right and how to maximize my benefits."

He raised his hand as if looking at his palm, but actually opened the system panel and saw his current status.

[Name: Lynn (Emotional detachment 95%)]

"I feel like I've lost my emotions," Lynn murmured to herself.

Leon's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

He knew very well how precious emotions were to a wizard; in fact, all of a wizard's magic could only be activated through emotions.

"Forcibly summoning the guardian spirit is too much for me right now, but the amplification from my bloodline has forced it to take shape. The price I paid was that I exhausted all my emotions, including joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness."

Lynn was in a state of extreme rationality, and by combining the causes and consequences, he easily analyzed the reason for this situation.

His guardian spirit was quite unusual. At least when I was practicing the guardian spirit spell and had seen so many wizards' precedents, I had never seen anyone whose guardian spirit was a tree.

Moreover, the effect was too strange. The guardian spirit not only had a strong killing power against Dementors, but it could also affect the people around it, causing everyone to fall into a dream at the same time.

However, even the most powerful guardian deity cannot undo such aftereffects.

Emotions are the most precious thing for people, and for wizards, they are the source of power.

Lynn extended her finger and softly uttered the incantation.

"Fluorescent light. (Triple boost)"

A faint light shone from his fingertips; the spell could still be used, but its effect was weakened by more than ten times.

"I can't go see those Dementors," Lynn said calmly.

"The stripping away of my emotions has greatly reduced the effectiveness of all my spells. I can no longer use the Patronus Charm until I have a complete grasp of it. I no longer have the means to defeat those Dementors, so I cannot risk going to see them."

Leon nodded in deep agreement and said seriously, "I'll send them back to Azkaban as soon as possible. The Aurors are now in charge of Hogwarts' protection, and I'll be leading the team myself."

He frowned at Lynn, "Young Master, will you be able to recover?"

Lynn looked at the percentage next to the name on the panel, which had changed from 95% to 94.9%, and nodded slightly.

"My emotions are slowly returning, but this process will take at least three days."

Without emotion, Lynn was in a state of pure rationality, realizing that the emotional detachment was not permanent and could be restored later. These three days of having absolute rationality for a short period of time might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Humans rarely exhibit this state under normal circumstances; pure rationality represents pure thought, which greatly benefits Lynn in carefully planning his future direction.

But it's still frustrating to become weaker, especially after gaining new power.

It was not only his 94.9% pure rationality but also the remaining 5.1% emotion that reminded him that his strength must be restored first.

Therefore, Lynn has begun to think about how to speed up the process of emotional recovery.

"Has Fudge talked to you about your promotion with the Auror?" He looked up at Leon.

"I'm already the captain of an Auror squad. This trip to deal with the Dementors is also to build up my qualifications for future promotion. Before I came, Fudge told me that as long as I can successfully bring back the remaining Dementors, I'll get credit for it. If I keep building up my qualifications, my next promotion will be the deputy head of the Auror Command. After that, he'll find a way to transfer the current head and put me in this position."
