Hogwarts: I, Tom, am not the Dark Lord

Old Deng’s status is really too high. The whole country is his disciples. He has become like an emperor who is alone and helpless.

The emperor at least has a queen, but Old Deng...well, he sent the "queen" to jail himself.

Thinking of this, Tom looked at the old man with a little pity, who still had a smile on his face.

An hour and a half later.

Dumbledore sent Tom back to the children's home.

"Looking forward to seeing you again, Mr. Riddle."

"Me too, Professor."

After watching Dumbledore leave, Tom turned and went into the house.

Armand had already prepared dinner when he left work, and Seth and the other three boys were eating, leaving a large portion for Tom.

"Boss, do you really want to go to that white-bearded old man's school?"

When the other three saw Tom come back, they quickly finished their meal, washed the dishes and ran back to their rooms. Only Seth stayed here and asked curiously.

Currently, only Tom and Seth are permanent residents of the Children's Home. The other three problem children have just arrived. After being scolded by Tom, they are like mice seeing a cat.

"This is not a question you need to worry about."

Tom bit into his steak and mumbled, "If I find out your grades have dropped in middle school, don't blame me for coming back to deal with you during the holidays."

Seth shrank his neck, not daring to refute.

I was just angry for Tom because he was going to a school he had never heard of.

In his mind, his boss is so awesome that he is the best in the school both in studying and fighting.

He would have been more than qualified to go to Harrow or Eton, but the damn school charged such high tuition fees, which forced his eldest brother to leave.

Tom didn't know that his younger brother was standing up for him. He didn't say much because Dumbledore had instructed that he should not tell Muggles about the affairs of the wizarding world, and that magical items should not be allowed to flow into the Muggle world. He was just a freshman and had no ability to fight against the rules of the wizarding world.

After finishing his meal and clearing away the dishes, Tom returned to his bedroom.

"Open the system panel.".

Chapter 6: The Strongest Learning System, the First Private Tutor

Tom studied the belated system carefully.

The strongest learning system - as the name suggests, it is a system that assists him in studying and becoming a super academic master.

Any behavior related to learning and that yields results can earn credits, which is also the core mechanism of the system.

Credits have many functions, the main functions are:

1. Spend credits to hire a private teacher to teach him/her. The first hour of each day is free, and each hour thereafter must pay six credits as tuition.

Second, spend credits to enter the extraordinary state, which improves learning efficiency and thinking speed, surpassing one's own limits, similar to the effect of "weak enlightenment".

Each time you enter the extraordinary state, you need one hundred credits, and it lasts for ten minutes. You can then spend ten credits per minute to extend the duration.

In addition, the system also has an important currency, which is achievement points.

The system will reward achievement points for achieving certain achievements in life, academics, or other aspects, or completing system tasks.

Currently, Tom can only see one function of achievement points - summoning teachers.

The achievement points consumed vary depending on the teacher's level.

An average adult wizard of medium level (B) only needs one achievement point.

For an excellent wizard (A), it is ten points.

A great man of his generation (S), 100 points.

King of the Century (SS), one thousand points.

Immortal Legend (SSS), 5,000 points.

The gap between each level can be seen just by looking at the price.

Thirty years constitutes a generation, and a generation of outstanding people refers to the most outstanding talents of this generation.

One hundred years is called a century, and only the most powerful wizard in a century is worthy of the domineering title of King of the Last Century.

Old Deng can definitely bear it.

Immortal legends can no longer be simply divided by time. Throughout the history of the magical world, such existences are very rare.

Back to the system panel interface, a gift box appears in the center. This is Tom's novice gift pack.

After opening it, the system rewards one hundred credits and a chance to summon a teacher for free, at least a master teacher at the level of a generation of outstanding people.

So...how did the system invite the so-called private teacher?

Out of curiosity, Tom used his mind to collect all the rewards

Brilliant golden light filled my eye sockets, and I felt dizzy for a moment, as if I had shaken my head too quickly and forcefully. When I came to my senses, my consciousness had already entered a foggy world.

This world was so real that Tom had the illusion that he was teleported here, but he could also clearly sense that his body was still lying on the bed.

At the same time, the system also told Tom the information about this space.

This space is called the learning space. The flow of time is the same as that of the outside world, but the energy spent on studying here will not affect the real world.

This means that Tom can study here all night and still wake up full of energy in the morning.

Moreover, teaching aids and the books he owns can be materialized in the space, making it a virtual world that is extremely close to reality.

However, as long as you enter this space, you have to pay credits, which is equivalent to turning on the famous teacher tutoring function. The 100 points given by the system will be used up soon.

After understanding this space, Tom looked around for his first teacher.

"Hahahahaha!"

A hearty and unrestrained laugh was heard from the thick fog. The fog in front of Tom dissipated a lot, and his visual range doubled.

And in the fog farther away, a tall figure emerged and was striding towards him.

A man broke through the fog and appeared in Tom's sight.

He was wearing a long, slanted robe from the ancient Athenian period, with most of his muscular body exposed. He wore a laurel wreath on his head, had three-dimensional features and a resolute face, like an ancient Greek statue that had walked out of a historical occasion, exuding a strong masculine aura from head to toe.

The man observed the foggy space curiously, and finally his eyes fell on Tom, and his smile became even more intense.

"You are the little wizard who summoned me, right?"

"What an amazing talent! You've actually awakened my long-dormant soul. And this unwavering bond... Child, your good fortune makes me jealous."

It was easy to hear the jealousy in his tone, but Tom didn't seem worried about himself at all.

The introduction of the system made it very clear that as long as one came to this space, no one could harm him, and he would be taught everything he had learned. There was no possibility of academic fraud, and he would not be ambushed.

And...even without this restriction, Tom didn't think this man would do anything bad.

Because this man's temperament is so upright, he is simply the embodiment of light. Compared with him, Lao Deng can be called a cunning villain.

"Sir, shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking questions?" Tom asked back.

The system kept him in suspense and still hasn't told him who the teacher summoned this time is.

"Hahaha!"

The man laughed even more heartily and happily: "You are right, it was my private tutor who was rude."

"My name is Andros, and I'm an ordinary wizard from Greece. I have some experience with wandless spellcasting and the Patronus Charm, which is more than enough for me to be your mentor."

Andros's message flashed through Tom's mind.

When they were in Diagon Alley, Dumbledore gave him two chocolate frogs to fill his stomach. Each chocolate frog would open a drawing of a famous wizard, and one of them was the one in front of him - the invincible Andros!

This is not Andros's boasting, nor is it a nickname that sounds like his surname.

The title of Invincible was a title given to him by the wizards at that time, because Andros had never failed in his life, and as he said, he was particularly good at wandless casting and Patronus Charm, and could even cast a giant Patronus without a wand.

Even in this day and age, no one has ever heard of anyone else achieving this feat, making it a historic achievement.

He is the well-deserved King of the Century!

No wonder Tom had such a good impression of him when they first met.

Casting the Patronus requires strong positive emotions and happy memories, so it is often used as a criterion for judging Dark wizards.

Andros's positive energy is almost overflowing

The word "righteousness" is written all over his body!

"Mr. Andros, I'm Tom Riddle."

Tom introduced himself with a smile on his face. "I will be your student from now on. If there is anything wrong, please let me know and I will definitely correct it."

Even with the constraints of the system, Tom was always polite and humble to those who could help him.

His attitude also won Andros's favor.

The man patted his chest generously and said, "No problem. I will do my best to help you become an excellent wizard."

Then he said very professionally: "There must be a price to pay for you to use this talent, right? Without further ado, let's get started now."

Of course Tom wouldn't refuse. He thought about the teaching methods at Hogwarts.

"Mr. Andros, I haven't entered the magic school yet, so let's start with the most basic lighting spell and levitation spell."

Andros looked at him in confusion. "Levitation spell, illumination spell, what is that?"

Tom: “???”.

Chapter 7: The Difference Between Modern Magic and Ancient Magic, Beginner Spells

The study space fell into silence, and an awkward atmosphere spread between the two.
