"But that is also an important experience in life, isn't it?" Dumbledore winked at him playfully and tapped the tin can on the table lightly with his wand.

Crash.

The tin can suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a bunch of strange snacks. Of course, most of them were sweets, but there were also some interesting beans mixed in.

"Want some?"

"No, Professor. You know I don't like these little snacks."

"Oh, of course! I always remember that your favorite food was meat, but as people get older, they always like the sweet taste. I can't live without them anymore."

“Only after going through a thousand dangers can you taste sweetness.”

"You still like to say things that are not suitable for your age as usual, my child." Dumbledore sighed helplessly and said, "This time, agreeing to let you return to Hogwarts to take up the position is the result of collective discussion among us elders. Our purpose is not just to let you come back to be a professor." As he spoke, he took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Gerard.

Taking the document, Gerard examined it carefully, a puzzled expression on his face. "Half-time student?"

"Hmm." Dumbledore smiled and said, "Although you enjoy the treatment of a professor, you don't have to attend classes. However, you must participate in student activities organized by the school, and you must participate in the name of a Hogwarts student."

Gerard was stunned for a moment, then said, "If this is the professors' decision, I am willing to abide by it."

"It's not a decision, my child." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "We just want to help you create happy memories of your real student days, rather than a student life with only a few old professors as your companions."

"Thank you and the professors." Gerard nodded and thanked them politely.

"This is what we should do." Dumbledore picked up a cockroach popping candy and put it in his mouth. He continued, "Also, this old man has a personal request that I hope you can help me with. Well, it's about the savior."

Gerard understood instantly and agreed: "I will help you take good care of him."

"Go ahead. We've kept your room in Hogwarts for you." Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction and said softly, "Yelas misses you too. Go see it when you have time."

"Okay, Professor." Gerald nodded and turned to leave.

As he watched him walk away, Dumbledore's smile gradually faded. He slowly pulled a black seal from his pocket, his eyes becoming extremely heavy.

386 Gin-san, my heart is crystal clear!

The Headmaster's Office at Hogwarts.

Since Gerard left, Dumbledore had fallen into an eerie silence, rubbing the black seal in his hand, his brow furrowed.

"What's troubling you, Dumbledore?" After an indefinite period of time, a middle-aged man with a mustache in the painting on the wall suddenly spoke up. "Shouldn't you be happy to see your most outstanding student return?"

The middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache is the former headmaster of Hogwarts, Armando Dippet, who resigned decades ago due to the Chamber of Secrets incident and passed away last month.

"Humph! He's probably unhappy because he sees that little guy is too outstanding?" said Phineas in another oil painting.

This headmaster was once rated as the most unpopular headmaster in Hogwarts' history because he was from Slytherin and advocated pure-blood theory.

"Really, Dumbledore?" The two eyebrows in Armando's painting frowned and he whispered, "Do you think this little guy will become someone like Tom?"

"No, he won't." Dumbledore came back to his senses and shook his head slightly. "He won't be a person like Tom. I can feel it."

"Then what are you still worried about?" Armando said in a confused tone, "He's such a polite and gentle child. You can't let him be discouraged because of some subjective speculation!"

"It's precisely his politeness that worries me." Dumbledore sighed and said, "He's too mature, so mature that he hardly looks like a child."

"What do you mean? Do you still suspect that his soul has been replaced?" Phineas raised his eyebrows with a teasing tone.

"Do you know about the ancient Eastern concept of reincarnation?" Dumbledore placed the black seal from his pocket on the table and spoke in a low voice. "It basically means that a soul goes through hell and is reborn into the human world."

"Facts have proven that that claim to be false," said the previously silent headmistress, Delys DeVante. "There's a chance people will become ghosts after death, but reincarnation doesn't exist."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Dumbledore nodded, agreeing with the old senior's words.

But his furrowed brows remained fixed, his gaze fixed on the pattern on the black seal. It was outlined with intricate lines, resembling the shape of a long sword. This pattern was identical to the blood-red mark on the face of his outstanding disciple.

The previous owner of the black seal was none other than the "first Dark Lord" Jellal Fernandez from four hundred years ago.

This is an actor: I imagine Dumbledore must be feeling very conflicted right now, thinking I have a close relationship with the original Dark Lord.

Skirt-Lifting Maniac: That's for sure! Seeing such substantial clues, anyone would think that you must be related to that Gerald, right?

Illustrator: I don't understand! I can accept that you want to be a good teacher, but what's the point of giving this kind of information to Old Deng? This is definitely an act of deliberately arousing the enemy's suspicion. If it were Yin doing this, I'd be damned!

Curly-haired guy: Damn it, why should I be criticized if it’s me?

Book artist: Because you are indeed an idiot, do you even need to ask?

Curly-haired guy: Who the hell said that, Gin-san, how did I act like a fool? I'm telling you! Even though we're familiar with each other, I'll still sue you for defamation if you say that!

Red Snake Fairy: There is a grammatical error in your question. You should ask yourself what makes you look like an idiot.

Upskirt Maniac: Yes, I think so too!

Curly-haired guy: You bunch of stinky women, you’re at it again, right?

Lazy Kitten: What do you mean? You start by calling me a bitch? Are you trying to force me to fight? I'm telling you! Even I'm afraid of myself when I get mad!

Soul Society's Evildoer: Let's not change the subject anymore. Let's hear An Ran's explanation. Why did she deliberately leave this clue for Dumbledore?

This is an actor: As I said before, these aren't clues I left behind. These are the historical inertia that comes with the group rules being embedded into the characters. Since Jellal is a living person in this world, isn't it normal for his relics to be clues?

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: But, dear, you knew this, but you still let it go? With your ability, it should be easy to erase such clues.

This is an actor: easy, but unnecessary. I'd actually like to see how Dumbledore would handle this situation. Would he try to strangle me, or would he take some other approach? Don't you want to know the process?

Hatchet Girl: I do want to, but wouldn’t it be no fun if my identity is completely exposed?

Lin Fengjiao: And in this case, Dumbledore will definitely spend a lot of time monitoring you.

This is an actor: surveillance? That kind of thing is meaningless. Sometimes what the eyes see is not necessarily true. He only sees what I want him to see.

Lin Fengjiao: Okay, I was worrying too much.

Only then did Lin Jiu realize that his group leader wasn't the real Gerald at all. He was a true god in Gerald's guise, having just decided to role-play in this world on a whim.

The purpose is not to overthrow or destroy the world, but to enjoy the joy of the process of acting. In this process, whether being suspected, envied, admired or worshipped, they are all dispensable embellishments.

No matter which way the plot line deviates, his happiness will never disappear.

Illustrator: Even if surveillance is useless, he'll still be wary of you. If that's the case, won't there be a lot that can't be done?

This is an actor: he's wary, sure, but it's precisely because of his caution...that I was able to return to Hogwarts to teach. Dumbledore is a true Gryffindor, so he's a risk-taker. Placing threats close to him is his favorite thing to try. So, there's no need to worry about me being restricted.

Skirt-lifting maniac: Yes, it seems that he personally designed the layouts of the first few Harry Potter films.

Curly: This old guy isn't a good guy either. He likes to use bait to lure snakes out of their holes! If you dig out his heart, it's definitely dirty too!

The illustrator: Pfft, no matter how dirty they are, can they have a heart like yours? Others are just dirty at best, but you are completely black!

Curly-haired boy: Bullshit, Gin-san, my heart is crystal clear!

Fairy Chi Lian: Why is it so crystal clear? That's because you used lard as paint.

387 Are You Female Demons?

Skirt-lifting maniac: After finishing up the Academy City issue, I suddenly don't know what to do. Life has fallen into confusion.

The illustrator: What the hell are you confused about? You're so young and you're already feeling sentimental about life? You really need to find something to do, but you can't find it. Have you maxed out the favorability of your harem members?

Skirt-lifting maniac: There are no harem members, Ali-chan, you are talking nonsense again! How many times have I told you that those are just friends!

Curly-haired guy: Humph, you treat me as a friend...but I don’t think so.

Lazy Kitten: Good morning, everyone. The weather has turned cold over here recently. How is it over there?

Skirt-lifting maniac: It’s just summer and it’s so hot.

The illustrator said: It's summer here too, and I'm still wearing a big, stuffy cloak! Going out to kill monsters every day is like being in a steam room!

Skirt lifter: Hahahaha, there’s that scene! Doing a sweat steam, laughing to death!

Lin Fengjiao: So, why does Miss Ali insist on appearing in that style and attire?

The illustrator of the book: Back then, I was so impulsive that I thought I should have a sense of mystery. Now I regret it. Every day feels like I'm wearing a mask of pain.

Hatchet Girl: Is it so miserable?

The villain of Soul Society: Alas, this is what young people are like.

Skull Island Handsome Guy: If that's the case, then let's just move on quickly. Just focus on completing the world quests, and that'll be a relief, right?

Illustrator: It's not that simple! Aura revival isn't something that happens overnight; it's a gradual process. Often, just as you clear out the mutated creatures in one area, something else suddenly appears in another! Every day feels like a quest to grind through maps, like a relentless monster-spawning machine!

Scarlet Snake Fairy: World quests require reputation and influence. Just killing monsters won’t do the trick, right?

Illustrator: I know, they do promote it. But how can I put it? The people seem to trust the island government more. Even if the top brass are actually doing nothing and just living a life of luxury.

This is an actor: You are using the wrong method, you shouldn't take the fire brigade route.

Chi Lian Fairy: I think so too. How can you possibly build a mass base by running around like this? You should first establish a base somewhere and use that base as a hub to expand your sphere of influence.

Book artist: But if that happens, rescue work in some areas will be delayed.

This is an actor: Can you save everyone by the way you fight the fire? I think it's impossible. What will you do if multiple areas are affected by the disaster at the same time?

Book Artist: Well, I can only try my best...

This is an actor: regardless of other things, complete the world quests and become a world administrator. This is the correct way and path. Otherwise, even if you work yourself to death, you can only watch the situation deteriorate.

Soul Society's villain: Sometimes, being too compassionate isn't always a good thing. Konan excels in this regard. Focus on your job first, then worry about other things.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Sister Hua, are you implying that I am not a compassionate person?

Lazy Kitten: Being too compassionate will turn you into a saint, and sainthood is an unpopular profession. Although our goal is to liberate the entire dimension, we must first complete world quests to achieve this goal.

Foul-mouthed Man: Hey, that's right! I agree with what Kitty said. Without this capital, we can't do anything! Even our freedom in life will be restricted!

Curly-haired guy: Are you fucking making fun of yourself?

Skirt-lifting maniac: Mr. Deadpool, haven’t you been released yet?

Foul-mouthed leather man: That damn black salted egg, I think he has forgotten me! Every day only that damn half-bald Mediterranean guy comes to check on my condition, it's so hateful!

Skull Island Handsome Guy: You deserve it.

Shark-Faced Guy: Indeed, after committing such a serious offense, only imprisonment is already quite merciful. I feel that this is probably because of An Ran-san's face that you are being treated this way.

Book Artist: That's for sure! If it weren't for An Ran-sang's intimidating power, you, a terrorist, would have been executed long ago!

Foul-mouthed man in a suit: Pah, what the hell would I be afraid of capital punishment? That's hilarious, man! If they could kill me, I'd believe them!

Hatchet Girl: I might not be able to kill you, but I could probably confine you in various ways. For example, I could build a cell out of titanium alloy, tie your hands and feet, lock you in there, and not give you food or sleep... You wouldn't be able to die like this even if you wanted to.

Skirt-lifting maniac: Hiss, this is too uncomfortable!

Wig: It’s really uncomfortable, I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it!

The illustrator: What's that? If it were me, I'd have a better idea. Like locking Deadpool in a titanium oven and letting him constantly disintegrate into ash and then reassemble. In just a few days, he'd definitely have a mental breakdown!

Scarlet Snake Fairy: You can also feed him hot mercury soup. He won't die anyway, so it doesn't matter what you do.

Foul-mouthed Suit Man: Oh, damn it! Stop it, stop it now! Please, you female demons, please stop here and let poor Deadpool go! His fragile and delicate nerve fibers cannot withstand such fatal blows and torture!

Lazy Kitten: Hahahaha, they scared Deadpool to the point of begging for mercy! You ladies are really good, I, the little kitty, am impressed!

Curly Hair: Doesn't this indirectly reflect the cruelty of these female demons? Even a bastard like Deadpool was scared to death and begged for mercy. It's terrible!

Book artist: It’s none of your business whether I’m scary or not. I’m not planning to marry you!

Fairy Chi Lian: Indeed, eat salty radishes and worry less.

Curly-haired boy: How can this not be my business, Gin-san?! As a loyal supporter of the president, I have the right to correct the bad habits in our group! You bunch of female demons are the source of this bad habit!

Skirt-lifting maniac: You are exaggerating. It is obviously you who is the source!

Hatchet Girl: You are really good at playing the thief crying "stop thief" game.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Ignore Gin. Sisters, give me some advice. Which nation should I attack first? Personally, I think it should be the Wind Country, since the Hidden Sand Village is the weakest. But that would alert the other four nations. I don't want to cause too many casualties, which is a bit of a headache.

388 The Naruto traverser is asking for his own death

Skirt-lifting maniac: Ah, Sister Konan is going to liberate the five major countries of the ninja world so soon?

Book Artist: Isn't this a bit too aggressive? What about the construction work of Yuyin Village?

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Don't worry, the construction of the Hidden Rain Village is now on track. Both domestic demand and war reserves can keep up. It's time to move on to the next step.

Lazy Kitten: In that case, wouldn't it be best to start with the Fire Nation? Just use a blitzkrieg and crush Konoha instantly! Of the Five Nation, I feel like Konoha is the only one that's a bit tricky. If we take Konoha, the whole world will be under our control.

Lin Fengjiao: However, attacking Konoha would definitely cause heavy casualties. Anyone who has watched Naruto should know that the fighting spirit of Konoha ninjas is still very strong.
