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

Chapter 54 The Eve of Potions Class

The raging flames spread toward Aba, who became even more frightened, but then he heard Rhine raise his voice.

"Abba, don't move, it'll be over soon."

Aba, who was trying to dodge, actually stopped in place, watching helplessly as the raging flames spread towards it.

Immediately, Rhine waved his staff again, and the flames began to transform, spreading like ropes along the vines that were wrapped around Abba.

In the blink of an eye, the vines that Professor McGonagall had conjured were completely burned away by the flames summoned by Rhine.

Aba looked at the fallen vines, his eyes lighting up with joy, and he clapped his hands and jumped up happily.

"Abba!"

"Abba!"

Each time it bounces, the ground trembles.

Professor McGonagall took a deep breath, staring intently at Rhine, her eyes filled with shock.

Half of it was because Rhine seemed to have actually tamed the giant.

The sound he just made, could it be the language of the giants?

Merlin above, do trolls really have a language?

The other half is because Rhine's transformation magic, which he just demonstrated, is clearly a step up from what Professor McGonagall saw in class.

How did he do that?

At such a young age, just starting school, how can one possess such mastery of shapeshifting techniques?

Professor McGonagall had a vague feeling.

Was he about to witness the rise of another Dumbledore?

Hermione, Harry, Ron, Neville, and the others stared blankly at Rhine.

Even Hermione, who knew Rhine's extraordinary strength, was stunned and her mind went blank when she saw the incredible fire spell and transformation.

Is this Rhine's true strength?

Harry opened his mouth.

They've only been in school for one day, haven't they?

Where did Rhine go to study in a preparatory course?

Is this whole "savior" thing just a fake?!

At this moment, Professor McGonagall looked at Rhine.

"Rhine, you'd better explain this to me."

At this point, Rhine's face was filled with grief and indignation.

"Professor, I think I'm the one who needs an explanation."

"I had a stomachache for no reason, and I was squatting in the bathroom. Can anyone tell me why a giant would appear at Hogwarts, which is supposed to be the safest place in the wizarding world?"

"Do you know how I rushed to pull up my pants to deal with the troll's breakdown? If it weren't for my innate ability to talk to all sorts of magical creatures, including trolls, and successfully befriending one, I probably would have been smashed into a pancake by now."

"Is it fair that Gryffindor doesn't award me thirty points for my courage?!"

Professor McGonagall remained silent.

After a moment, she nodded with difficulty.

"It seems so..."

"Alright, Gryffindor gets 30 points for Rhine's courage and resourcefulness, and his amazing Transfiguration!"

Then she said to Rhine.

"Alright, Mr. Rhein, you can go back to your dormitory with them now."

"As for this giant monster..."

Rhein added.

"Its name is Abba."

Professor McGonagall took a deep breath.

"I'll have Hagrid take it back to the Forbidden Forest."

Rhine nodded, then gave an instruction to Aba.

"Aba, go back to the Forbidden Forest obediently. I'll come find you when I have time."

"Also, if you don't want to be stunned the next time you see me, you'd better use your walnut-sized brain to remember this: clean yourself up, at least don't look like a portable septic tank!"

Soon after, Rhine and Hermione left the bathroom.

The moment they left the bathroom, Harry and Ron couldn't help but let out a shout.

"Rhine!"

"You tamed a giant monster?"

"How did you do that?"

"You really speak troll language?!"

Hermione, on the other hand, looked terrified, as if her heart had finally started beating again.

"Rhine, thank goodness, you're alright."

Harry was about to say, "How could something happen to someone as awesome as Rhine?" when Ron stopped him.

Ron raised an eyebrow at him, looking on with an ambiguous expression of watching a good show.

Harry seemed to suddenly realize something, and winked at Ron, asking silently with his eyes.

"No way?"

"Hermione, what about Rhine?"

Ron, as if he were an expert in "eye language," gave an affirmative look.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Trust me, you won't go wrong!"

"Hahaha, Hermione must be after Rhine..."

"Wait a minute, why do I seem a little unhappy? I used to be happy when I heard gossip."

Just as Ron was puzzled by his inexplicable sense of loss, Rhine had already led them back to the common room.

The common room was now filled with Gryffindor members.

When Rhine and his group returned, the lounge erupted in deafening cheers and curious whispers.

"What happened?"

"Did you encounter a troll?"

"By Merlin, you are truly brave to have followed Professor McGonagall out like this! Did Professor McGonagall scold you?"

The next moment, Ron couldn't help but smile and said loudly.

"We encountered one. It was a huge troll, but you should have seen it tap dancing under Rhine's wand."

"And... Professor McGonagall not only didn't deduct any points, she added thirty points to our Gryffindor class for Rhine's courage, resourcefulness, and amazing Transfiguration!"

After a brief silence, the noise in the common room was deafening, as if the roof had been lifted.

Screams erupted, and shocked, curious gazes were cast upon them.

But the next moment, Rhine used his talent for concealment and quietly left, surrounded by everyone.

Looking at the lion cubs he had left behind, Rhine shook his head with a wry smile.

Now there's no way to keep a low profile anymore; even Dumbledore might start paying attention.

I was planning to find an opportunity to tame Cerberus and see if it was possible to breed it in the direction of Cerberus, but for now, I'd better keep a low profile and be careful.

Fortunately, Rhine's talent as an Earth Spirit, combined with his crane-like physique and the techniques of the Flying Tiger Strategy, allowed him to absorb the earth's spiritual energy simply by placing his feet on the castle grounds.

Over the next few days, even while diligently attending classes, Rhine's physical strength and magical power steadily improved, making her days incredibly fulfilling.

Before we knew it, it was Thursday night.

That night, Harry, Ron, and the others in the dormitory began to feel anxious.

"Tomorrow is Potions class."

"It's said that Professor Snape is like a venomous snake, hissing and spitting poison at every student in his class, especially Gryffindor. Don't even think about getting a good word with him!"

"Especially Rhine and Hermione, they've added over 70 points to Gryffindor this week, far ahead of Slytherin. Those Slytherins have been looking at us strangely these past few days."

"Professor Snape will definitely target us tomorrow!"

At that moment, Rhine's eyes lit up.

Is Potions class coming up?

He has also tried to make friends with other professors in the past few days, but has not yet gained any new talents.

But tomorrow's potions class might be an opportunity.

With his exceptional intelligence and masterful control over fire, Rhine should be able to achieve remarkable success in potion-making.

However, if that's all there is to it, then it's still a long way from winning over Snape or even befriending him.

But Rhine still holds an ace in his hand.

While Harry and his friends were worrying about tomorrow's Potions class, Rhine suddenly spoke up.

"I have a way that might not only prevent Snape from deducting our points, but actually give us points."

Do you want to know?
