The Daily Life of a Hogwarts Terrorist

To explain in detail, if you were to fight a wizard of the same age, such as Mr. Malfoy from Slytherin, your instant-cast Protective Charm could completely defend against a dry ice bomb made by a Muggle, but it would not be able to defend against Mr. Seamus's explosive magic.

Although from a physics perspective, both have the same power, things with less mystery will be ineffective in the face of things with greater mystery.

However, since magicians are naturally resistant to magic, the effects of Simo's magic on magicians are different from those on ordinary people.

The former will result in unconsciousness from being hit, while the latter will result in either death or serious injury.

This made Mr. Seamus feel much better, because it meant that he would have an absolute advantage in the fight against Muggles.

While they can't do anything to Koro-sensei for the time being, and it's even unclear whether he's friend or foe, if they could secretly control his students...

Humming a little tune, he walked happily along the path toward the subway station. The towering buildings on both sides blocked the sun and his view, but they could not block his sense of superiority.

But gradually, Simo's pace slowed, the whistling stopped abruptly, and his suddenly somber mood made him unable to even lift his legs.

When did it all begin? When exactly did it begin? I started to get used to lying, used to deceiving, used to disregarding life, used to looking down on ordinary people, used to all the arrogance that only pure-blooded nobles possess?

"How could I feel at ease and happy to be able to easily kill ordinary people? Why would I feel so comfortable using such despicable tricks?"

This was not merely self-pity or a manifestation of a saintly heart; rather, Simon suddenly realized that over the past two weeks, many of his actions had contradicted the chivalrous spirit he had always admired and upheld.

Humility, honor, sacrifice, heroism, compassion, honesty, justice, and the soul.

The eight virtues of a knight lingered in Seamus's mind, along with his own shameful memories.

Although I liked anime and manga in the past, I was never so obsessed with fantasy that I became numb and lazy.

While I may not have been able to be completely honest in the past, I would never have resorted to lying to obtain information.

Although I was a wizard in the past, I would never discriminate against ordinary people. I felt that I should be superior to them and used them without any scruples, playing with and even manipulating their thoughts and lives.

In the past, I always remembered the virtue of humility and would never have thought of revenge for the loss I suffered at the hands of Koro-sensei, or even resort to despicable means.

Facing difficulties and dangers, never back down or be afraid. Move forward with dignity and courage, grow through adversity by relying on your own strength, and fight with all your might before you fall, even if you are utterly defeated. This is the true knight!

But what about myself now?

Hesitant and indecisive, overthinking and resorting to underhanded tactics.

Seamus suddenly realized that he had become a stranger to himself compared to when he was at Hogwarts.

This change even led him to start to hate himself.

Is this really me?

With a furrowed brow, Simo gripped his right hammer and slammed it against the roadside wall, wanting to vent his dissatisfaction with himself through the pain.

However, the right fist that was swung out in anger did not touch the wall; Simo's hand simply passed through the wall, as if it were a ghost.

No, it wasn't that Simo's body had become like a ghost, but rather that the seemingly solid wall didn't appear to be a physical entity.

And because he used too much force with his right hand, Simo lost his balance and began to fall towards the wall due to inertia. This surprised Simo greatly.

Will it crash into it, or will it pass right through it?

With his heart in turmoil, Simo subconsciously reached out his left hand to support himself, and this time, his palm rested on the wall.

The rough wall stimulated Ximo's left palm, as if the illusory right punch from before had never happened.

But Simo didn't believe he was seeing things: "What on earth is going on!"

Simo touched the wall again and again, even using both hands, but he couldn't make that strange phenomenon happen again.

The pain in his palm seemed to tell Simo how real all of this was, but he still couldn't let go of what had happened before, which made Simo's doubts grow stronger.

Wait, calm down, think it through carefully, maybe some conditions are needed!

Simo, leaning against the wall, took a deep breath. He recalled that he had swung his sword because he was dissatisfied with his own failure to uphold chivalry...

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Simo found himself losing his balance once again, this time his body actually passed right through the wall.

Behind the wall, there was nothing.

Simo stared in astonishment at everything before him—a void world, devoid of anything but darkness except for the faint light emanating from itself.

Just then, Simo heard a sigh: "This is the ninety-sixth failure. Can't you just be honest?"

The voice actually came from behind Seamus!

Having regained control of his body with magic, Simo turned around and was shocked to find that the streets and the world he once knew had completely vanished!

Simo stared wide-eyed in the void as he saw a face that was not unfamiliar to him.

"Why are you here, Henrietta...?"

Shocked, Simo wanted to ask the other party a question, but before he could finish speaking, two longswords had already pierced his throat and heart respectively.

Intense pain struck; it was truly heart-wrenching.

Before his consciousness completely vanished, Simo vaguely heard:

"Don't worry, you won't remember these pains. Keep going down this path until we drag God down from his high throne!"

PS1: Are there any people who are saying they don't understand? (laughs) Isn't anyone complaining that the character of Simo in Volume 3 is too different from the one in Volume 2 in terms of personality and style of doing things? Isn't anyone wondering why Simo suddenly started cross-dressing? Why did he suddenly go from a knight-pathic maniac to someone without any morals?

PS2: Thanks to Jianghe Bujiu for the donation.

27. The Origin of the Witch - A Distant Journey to the Crimson World and First Encounter

The plane is being rebuilt.

Giant hands uprooted skyscrapers like weeds and wiped out roads and bridges.

The original mountains, forests, and grasslands were all turned into desert after those hands gently touched them.

Rivers and lakes vanished instantly, but they weren't evaporated without a trace. Instead, they were moved to another place by an unknown force, becoming an ocean that separates the world from the desert.

The girl, shrouded in a black magic robe, calmly surveyed everything.

Behind her, on the enormous clock tower, the hour and minute hands converged at the top and stopped moving.

This is the moon, this is Tristene, this is the place of eternal rest, but this is not the end.

There are no dead people here, and there will be no more dead people in Tristine. This is a dream that has been realized many years ago, a girl's dream.

Beside the girl lay several figures, all of whom were in crystal coffins.

If Seamus were here, he would be surprised to call out their names: Professor Verne, Professor Gruberu (Quirinas Quirrell), Principal Osman, Kisch, and so on.

Not far from where their bodies were placed, rows of crystal coffins of the same material circled the temple square, forming a neat ring.

If someone were to take a closer look, they would find that there are nearly hundreds of thousands of such squares here.

And without exception, living human beings lay inside the squares.

The silence here gives people the illusion of being in a cemetery.

The girl glanced again at Verne and Osman and the others, even though she had almost been captured by them because of their meddling.

However, thanks to the secret techniques taught by his master, he was able to stop time and turn the tide of battle.

Verne and the others thought they wanted to extract Seamus's soul to change bodies, but that wasn't the case at all.

Ximo's current body is actually a seal, an isolation net, a protective barrier that separates the soul fragment named Ximo from his true body.

And the person who caused this situation is himself.

Before completing the corruption of the soul, how could I easily break that seal and let K, the creator god, sense this place?

It's almost here! Soon we'll be able to bring K down from his pedestal and meet the real him again!

The girl told herself that she needed to be more careful and calm, especially in situations like this, and not give those annoying insects any chance to turn the tables.

She's already made a mistake once, but she'll never make the same mistake again!

Just then, a magical spell stirred up the previously peaceful space, and a mirror-like surface, resembling a stream of seven-colored water, appeared out of thin air.

Two figures emerged from within.

Louise continued to manipulate the world beneath her feet, making changes step by step. After placing the last few dilapidated houses in the town ruins, she stopped and turned to look at the newcomer.

"How is he?" Louise asked calmly, making it impossible to detect the trembling in her heart.

Although there was no explicit reference, Tiffany knew who Louise was asking about, which was why she was there: "The memory modification is complete, and we can proceed with the next experiment."

“Oh, really?” Louise nodded, then turned to Henrietta and asked, “Where is the progress so far?”

"After 154 experiments, four of the seven deadly sins have appeared in him: sloth, wrath, pride, and greed."

This is their purpose, and also a ritual that corrupts the soul!

In the very, very distant past, when Louise and others attempted to use the Origin of Life and Death to revive Saito, they suffered a crushing defeat.

Unwilling to accept defeat, the girls embarked on their own journeys to search for that soul in various worlds of the multiverse.

Through persistent efforts, they successfully found it.

It was a special world where two originally isolated worlds merged together.

One is a normal technological world, and the other is called the Crimson World.

The girls searching for Hiraga Saito travel through countless worlds and eventually arrive there.

There, Louise and Henrietta, posing as Shana and Kazumi Yoshida respectively, search for Hiraga Saito's whereabouts and eventually meet him.

However, at this time, Hiraga Saito had forgotten his past identity, and his name had changed to Sakai Yuji.

However, that world is not safe, because it is intertwined with the Crimson World. An existence called the Crimson World Apostles attacked Hiraga Saito (Yuji Itai), who had not yet awakened his past memories, turning him into a "torch" whose existence power was devoured.

Once the power of existence is completely gone, Hiraga Saito (Itai Yuji) will die once again, and his soul will once again wander in the multiverse.

In that case, Louise (Shana) and Henrietta (Kazumi Yoshida) will have to embark on another journey, aimlessly searching through the multiverse.

Fortunately, for some unknown reason, Hiraga Saito (Yuji Itai) had already had the Crimson World's treasure "Misty Child" placed inside his body, and became a non-human life form called "Mistes".

Every night when the clock strikes midnight, Hiraga Saito (Itai Yuji)'s existence power is replenished with the help of the "Midnight Lost Child".

However, this also prevented Louise (Shana) and Henrietta (Kazumi Yoshida) from taking Hiraga Saito's (Yuji Itai) soul away from that world and back to Tristene.

Because once you leave that world and the Crimson World, the Zero Hour Lost Child will lose its effect, and Hiraga Saito (Itai Yuji), who has lost his power of existence, will also disappear again.

Later, they discovered that it was all a conspiracy by the Crimson World organization's "masquerade ball".

This organization, composed of Crimson Lords, aims to revive the Creator God of the Crimson World, who is also the leader of the Masquerade Ball, the Ritual Serpent, and guide them to create a new world of their own.
