I'm at Hogwarts, what the heck is this Primordial System?

Chapter 22 has a cheat code; can it be compared to the God of Fire clearing the way?

On her way to Diagon Alley, Hermione had this thought in mind.

Rhine's literary talent was undoubtedly exceptional, something Hermione could never match in several lifetimes, she admitted.

But in other disciplines, I haven't heard of Rhine having any special achievements.

Hermione lost because of her lack of depth, but she won because of her breadth.

And who knows, maybe I'm even more talented in magic than Rhine?

In addition, Hermione arrived at Diagon Alley a few days earlier than Rhine and had already begun learning magic, which was an advantage for her.

Therefore, when a thought arises in the mind.

"Can we win?"

Hermione gave herself a resolute answer.

"We will win."

The proud, know-it-all girl won't easily admit defeat when it comes to her studies.

An hour later, Hermione walked into Diagon Alley.

Before heading to the location Rhine had mentioned, Hermione tidied her hair a little while looking out at the shop window on the street.

It was only then that she realized her hair hadn't been properly styled before she came out; it was too frizzy.

"Perhaps we should use some fabric softener?"

Hermione also remembered the words her mother had said to her with a smile.

"Perhaps I should dress up and wear a pretty dress?"

But such thoughts were quickly suppressed by an even stronger desire to win.

Hermione walked quickly to the dessert shop next to Flourish and Blotts and saw Rhine reading the History of Magic.

As she walked into the store, she said confidently.

"Rhine, are you reading *The History of Magic*?"

"I really enjoy watching this too. There are many interesting parts in the history of the wizarding world, and sometimes you can even see major events in the Muggle world."

"for example……"

Rhein nodded in deep agreement.

"For example, I only learned from reading the history of magic that the guillotine used to execute Louis XVI was actually made for him by an alchemist."

"It is said that this guillotine is an alchemical artifact with a zero negative review rate."

"besides……"

Rhine spoke with great interest about some events in the history of magic.

Hermione's expression gradually became confused.

"what?"

"In which chapter does this content appear?"

Rhine thought for a moment.

"Part of it is in the fourth section of Chapter 5, and part of it is in the third section of Chapter 6. The specific page number should be around page 720."

Hermione stared blankly at Rhine.

"?"

Rhine gave a strange smile.

There's no way around it; the Seven Apertures Exquisite Mind's talent is practically a cheat code when it comes to learning.

Photographic memory, memorization, rapid comprehension...

Hermione may be the future top student at Hogwarts, but sorry, she's facing Rhine, who has a brilliant mind.

I need to practice more!

After half an hour.

Hermione went from being full of ambition to being utterly despondent.

"I was so stupid, really."

"How do I come to believe I can beat Rhine?"

Hermione had this expression after witnessing Rhine casually flip through a new book and recite the first chapter word for word.

What shocked her even more was that Rhine not only had such a strong memory that he could remember everything he saw, but he also didn't just memorize things by rote; he truly understood the principles thoroughly.

Many things that Hermione was still confused about were explained by Rhine in a few words, and Hermione suddenly understood.

This performance completely dispelled Hermione's idea of ​​competing with Rhine in magic.

There's a cheater, how can we fight this?

Although she was very unwilling, Hermione was not a petty person. She took the opportunity to ask Rhine for help with the questions she had only partially understood when she was reading the book.

Rhein's eyes revealed a look of appreciation.

This is what makes Hermione so admirable: her strong drive, her insatiable thirst for knowledge, and her broad-mindedness.

It would be a natural progression for her to become Minister for Magic in the future, and even if she didn't go into politics, Rhine was certain that Hermione would achieve great success in the academic field.

He wouldn't mind helping Hermione out and seeing if she could achieve even greater things in the future.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was evening three days later.

Hermione said goodbye to Rhine at the street corner with practiced ease.

Rhein smiled.

"Are you sure you don't want to get in my car? I can take you home."

Hermione shook her head sheepishly.

"No, that would be too much trouble for you."

"and……"

"Never mind, it's nothing."

The latest novel is first published here!

A blush appeared on her face.

These past few days when she went home, her mother always looked at her with a half-smile, and would occasionally jokingly ask how far their relationship had progressed.

Each time, Hermione would blush and angrily declare that they really weren't dating, they were just studying.

If Rhine were to take her home again, who knows what the foolish adults would think of.

Hermione waved to Rhine.

"Thank you, Rhine. I feel my magic has improved a lot compared to before."

"Oh right, are you sure you don't want to go to Mr. Ollivander and exchange your wand for another one?"

Over the past few days, Hermione has come to admire Rhine's learning ability immensely.

No matter what kind of spell it is, as long as the requirement for magical power is not high, Rhine can almost perfectly understand all the key points of its release after reading it only once.

Under Rhine's guidance, Hermione has already mastered several spells that are only taught after entering the academy.

At this rate, she is expected to master most of the first-year curriculum before even starting school.

However, to Hermione's dismay, Rhine's own spellcasting was not so smooth.

That ancient staff was too long and too heavy to be used with modern spellcasting gestures.

Although Rhine's exceptional control over magic still allows him to cast spells, Hermione believes that if Rhine were to get a more suitable wand, his magical abilities would definitely increase dramatically.

But Rhine smiled and shook his head at Hermione's suggestion.

Rhine chuckled softly once more, watching Hermione board the bus and disappear from sight.

How could Hermione possibly know that magic, for Rhine, was merely an added bonus?

The combination of a staff, a body of bronze and iron, and skillful martial arts—this is Rhine's greatest strength, far more effective than magic; those fragile wands simply cannot achieve this.

Moreover, Rhine discovered that while this ancient staff worked well with modern spells and was powerful, it was even more effective with spells from older times.

This led him to a conjecture: perhaps this staff was originally used to enhance ancient magic.

If one can find traces of ancient magic, this staff will truly find its purpose.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't find ancient magic.

With just a little ingenuity to improve his spellcasting gestures and incantations, it's only a matter of time before Rhine can cast spells smoothly with this staff.

Furthermore, Rhine has made another discovery over the past few days.

His talent can also enhance spells, and the effect is remarkable!

such as……

Rhine returned home, lightly waving his staff as he chanted incantations.

"Completely cleaned up."

A slight whirlwind appeared and swept away the dust from the bookshelf he was looking at.

Immediately afterward, Rhine had a sudden thought and used his Wind Control talent to cast the Cleansing Spell once again.

This time, a whirlwind, far more powerful than before, roared out.

In terms of power, this Cleansing Spell could probably give a Rathalos a bath, cleaning all the dirt off its scales!

A glint of light flashed in Rhine's eyes.

"If he also gains the Fire Control Mastery talent, the enhancement to the Blazing Fire Spell should be far greater than this."

"So, what would it look like if the Wind Control talent were combined with the Fire Control talent, and the Cleansing Spell and the Blazing Fire Spell were cast together, with the wind fueling the fire and the fire amplifying the wind's power?"

"Could it possess even a trace of the power of Vulcan clearing the way?"

Rhine was really looking forward to that moment.

……

Time flies, and soon it will be a month later.
