People are in Hogwarts, What the hell is the flood system?

With a whisper, several lines of information immediately appeared in the reward column on the system's light screen.

Rhine also immediately felt the changes these rewards brought to his body.

First, the 'Clear Ears and Sharp Eyes' and 'Crane-like Grace' talents contributed by Filch made Rhine feel that his senses were much sharper than before, and he could hear much more movement.

Even his body felt lighter, and his steps were more agile than before.

Then, the 'Animagus' talent contributed by Professor McGonagall allowed Rhine to immediately feel its enhancement effect on Transfiguration.

The changes of all things seemed to appear in Rhine's mind as if by instinct.

Previously, with Rhine's magic power and Transfiguration skills, turning a table into a cat climbing frame was already the limit.

He was still far from being able to perform living creature transformations, but now, although Rhine's magic power had not changed, his Transfiguration skills had undergone a qualitative change under the blessing of the talent.

He took out a match left over from Transfiguration class from his pocket and waved his wand.

In the next second, a wonderful feeling surged in Rhine's heart, and then, the match turned into a chubby silkworm, opening its round eyes and curiously looking at Rhine.

Rhine waved his wand again, and the silkworm turned into a pupa wrapped in white silk.

When the wand was waved for the last time, the pupa turned into a large blue morpho butterfly, fluttering its gorgeous wings and flying in the bathroom.

After a while, it landed on Rhine's finger and turned back into the match.

Rhine's eyes revealed joy.

Although it was not the seventy-two transformations of the ancient times, the feeling of transforming all things was indeed wonderful, as if he were the creator.

Rhine immediately had an idea.

Previously, when he was in Diagon Alley, he used the 'Fire Control Mastery' talent in conjunction with 'Incendio' to use a knock-off version of 'Fiendfyre' in a clever way.

But now that his Transfiguration skills have greatly improved, perhaps the power of 'Fiendfyre' will also increase accordingly?

However, the bathroom was not a place to experiment, so Rhine temporarily suppressed this thought and turned his attention to the talent contributed by Neville.

'Soil Manipulation' can greatly enhance Rhine's understanding of the properties of soil and has a unique effect on crop cultivation.

Rhine focused his attention slightly and immediately felt its effect.

"The soil under the bathroom is damp, fertile, and suitable for planting shade-loving plants, such as Devil's Snare..."

If it were a Herbologist like Professor Sprout, having this talent would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Rhine's eyes revealed anticipation.

If he could obtain some plants that would help his cultivation in the future, perhaps he could use this talent to help cultivate them.

Next, Rhine's attention was completely focused on the 'Earth Spirit Primordial Spirit' talent.

This talent even made Rhine feel more delighted than 'Animagus'.

Absorbing the power of the earth veins for his own use, increasing his own strength, and even absorbing spiritual energy from the earth...

This effect was truly immediate!

With his feet on the ground, Rhine felt that the earth and soil were welcoming him.

Strands of thick airflow poured into Rhine's body from the earth.

Part of it flowed around Rhine's body, making Rhine feel that his already strong physique had become more solid, and the power of his flesh could be exerted more under the blessing of the earth veins!

At the same time, part of the thick airflow merged into Rhine's body, most of which went to nourish Rhine's physique, and a small part of it slowly increased his magic power.

Rhine's heart stirred.

"Does this also belong to spiritual energy? It is different from the spiritual energy I used to absorb in the sky. It is not the kind of cool airflow, but thick and heavy."

"That's right, the spiritual energy absorbed before was related to wind, but now I am using the Earth Spirit Primordial Spirit to absorb it, which is earth-attributed spiritual energy, so it is normal for the properties to be different."

"Eh? If one day I can collect the talents to absorb spiritual energy of various attributes, and then fuse them together, maybe I can get a powerful talent that encompasses the five elements?"

"Maybe at that time, I will have the qualifications to practice supernatural powers such as the Five Colors Divine Light!"

However, after a while, Rhine shook his head and dismissed the unrealistic fantasies in his mind.

With the amount of spiritual energy he is currently absorbing, let alone the Five Colors Divine Light, he still can't even refine a Five Colors Stone with a weaker power.

The road is long and arduous!

Fortunately, he has a long enough lifespan. If he continues to collect talents and practice, maybe one day he can truly become an immortal in this magical world!

Then, Rhine thought of the 'Flying Tiger Tactics' he had obtained, which contained simple cultivation methods.

The 'Earth Spirit Primordial Spirit' talent passively absorbs the spiritual energy of the earth veins. If it is combined with the 'Flying Tiger Tactics', which is a method of actively absorbing spiritual energy, the efficiency will definitely increase greatly.

Immediately, Rhine immediately stirred his breathing according to the method in the 'Flying Tiger Tactics'.

His chest sometimes rose high and sometimes sank, and his breathing became extremely long, and even time seemed to be forgotten.

Rhine, who possessed a 'Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart', entered the 'Samadhi' state that ancient cultivators dreamed of when he first practiced the 'Flying Tiger Tactics', forgetting both self and object!

Under this state, the spiritual energy of the earth veins pouring into Rhine's body immediately increased several times compared to before.

On Rhine's body surface, the golden luster from the 'Indestructible Vajra Body' talent began to slowly increase, becoming more dazzling and brilliant than before.

His magic power also began to climb continuously under the irrigation of spiritual energy, and its efficiency was much faster than when he used the 'Wind Drinking Dew' talent before!

Just as Rhine was immersed in this state, an unimaginable stench began to pour into the bathroom from the corridor.

The degree of this stench caused Rhine, who was immersed in the 'Samadhi' state, to change his expression and wake up.

Rhine's face was full of shock.

No, which brother has possessed me?

How can it be so smelly?

What did you eat?!

Rhine, who couldn't bear it any longer, pinched his nose and waved his wand.

"Scourgify!"

A whirlwind stirred up, blowing away the stench in the air, and Rhine felt much better.

Only in the next moment, heavy footsteps shook the ground, and a vague grunting sound that did not sound like it could be made by humans sounded, as if attracted by the sound of Rhine's spell, approaching the bathroom.

That stench was getting stronger and stronger.

Rhine frowned.

"This is..."

"A troll?!"

"Shouldn't it be released on Halloween? Did Quirrell bring it forward?"

...

At the same time, a dinner party was being held in the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

The little wizards who had just finished their first day of classes were talking about the courses, either excitedly or with lingering fear.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville sat together.

Hermione looked around and couldn't help but ask.

"Where's Rhine?"

"Has anyone seen him?"

Neville scratched his head honestly and said.

"After Herbology class, Rhine said his stomach hurt and went to the bathroom."

"He also asked me to tell you not to wait for him and eat first... I forgot to tell you."

Just as Hermione and the others sighed at Neville's memory, Professor Quirrell hurriedly broke into the dinner party and let out a scream.

"Troll—in the dungeon—"

"I thought you ought to know, Dumbledore!"

After speaking, Quirrell fell headlong to the floor and fainted.

The Great Hall was immediately in chaos, and the professors were organizing the riotous little wizards to return to their dormitories.

At this time, Hermione's face turned pale, and she exclaimed to Professor McGonagall.

"Professor McGonagall, Rhine, Rhine, his stomach hurts, he's in the bathroom on that floor, he doesn't know about the troll yet!"

Professor McGonagall's face changed suddenly.

"Oh, dear."

"This is really too bad!"

There will be another chapter a little later. I'm taking the train home today, so I didn't have time to write two chapters in the morning. I'll post them in the afternoon. I also wish everyone a smooth trip home for the New Year!
