For an entire day, Ms. Haifin stayed in Noah's room, and they talked about many things.
They discussed Noah’s life at Hogwarts, his friendships, and various experiences, allowing Ms. Haifin to gain a comprehensive understanding of his world.
Noah, in turn, shared everything he could and was willing to say. To him, since she already knew so much, he might as well tell her everything he should.
What surprised him the most, however, was that Ms. Haifin also opened ...
"Yes, a wizard."
Noah nodded, then turned to the couple, who were still in shock at seeing their daughter fully recover. Without hesitation, he raised his wand and cast another spell.
"Obliviate."
A soft glow surrounded them as Noah’s magic took effect. Their expressions briefly turned vacant, but soon after, they snapped back to reality—still hugging their daughter with tearful joy, completely unaware of what had just happened.
It took a while before t...
"Ah~! Blake, you're finally back!"
The moment Blake knocked on the door, it was thrown open, and Hestia leaped into his arms, rubbing against him excitedly. She exclaimed loudly, clearly overjoyed. It seemed Hestia had been waiting in the hall for his return.
"Lord Blake, that move was incredible!"
Liliruca, her face filled with admiration and awe, clung to Blake's free arm and cheered.
"Uh… cough, cough."
Seeing Hestia and Lili so thrilled, Blake ...
Ignoring Apollo’s words, Blake simply extended his hand forward. In an instant, a crimson light flashed, and a long spear appeared in his grip.
Upon closer inspection, the spear was entirely dark red. However, its tip wasn’t singular; rather, it split into two prongs, resembling parallel lines extending outward like a fork.
Tightly gripping this forked, dark-red spear, Blake suddenly accelerated his pace.
“Damn it, you arrogant insect!”
Seeing the m...
“W-Wait!”
Apollo panicked as he looked at Hestia. Losing his familia or even disbanding it was one thing, but being exiled from Orario—the grand stage of all—was unacceptable!
“Who’s going to wait for a scumbag loser like you?! I’ve had enough of you!” Hestia shouted angrily.
“Apollo! As the victor of this War Game, I invoke my rights: All your assets are to be confiscated! Your familia is to be dissolved! And you are to be permanently exiled—n...
Inside Babel Tower, a deathly quiet atmosphere began to spread as the gods, too shocked to speak, processed what they had witnessed.
Among them, Apollo stood frozen, utterly dumbfounded. His familia had been entirely wiped out in that blinding light, signaling his absolute defeat in the War Game.
In a corner of the room, Hestia’s wide eyes remained fixed on the radiant pillar of light displayed in the divine mirror. For a moment, she, too, seemed unable to react.
"Young wizard?"
Ms. Haifin stared at the young man before her in astonishment, then turned to Noah. Her mind struggled to process what she had just heard.
What was this situation?
A wizard?
Noah, a young wizard?
Damn! Although Noah looked like he was fourteen or fifteen, he was actually only twelve. He had just grown well for his age.
But this child—who had always been a bit withdrawn—was actually a wizard?
How was that possible? An...
Of course, Noah knew John Constantine. He was also an Englishman!
Born in Liverpool, England, Constantine had the ability to perceive demons and angels since childhood. This so-called gift brought him endless trouble, eventually pushing him to the brink of suicide.
But unfortunately for him, neither Heaven nor Hell wanted to accept him. He lost faith in humanity, demons, and even angels, wandering between the realms of Heaven, Hell, and Earth.
Sounds cool, right?<...
"What the...?!"
Even the spectators in front of the screens were left gaping in astonishment, let alone the Apollo Familia members stationed on the city wall, who were so shocked that they held their breath.
"Fire! Keep firing! Don’t let him get closer! Mages, start chanting magic and blow him to pieces!"
Seeing Blake continuing to advance so leisurely, the defenders yelled in panic.
After all, their lives were at stake in this game—if they didn’t go ...
"Dong—!"
As the bell signaling the start of the war game echoed through the ancient ruins, the atmosphere inside the fortress shifted. Unlike the festive mood in Orario, the Apollo Familia soldiers stationed in the stronghold felt their hearts tighten.
This war game, set as a siege battle, had a three-day time limit.
Though their opponent was just one man—a situation that could hardly be described as "outnumbered"—this man had single-handedly wiped out hundr...
While the people of Orario bustled with excitement, the gods began to gather within Babel Tower.
On the 30th floor, the gods most eager for the War Game assembled. Hestia and Apollo were among them.
“Hestia, I can’t wait to see the look on your face when your child is obliterated by magic bombardments. It truly excites me,” Apollo sneered, watching Hestia approach.
“My Blake won’t die in this game. Rather, you should worry about your own children. Althou...
Ms. Haifin was not in a good mood. Even after taking a walk with Noah in Griffith Park that afternoon, her mood hadn't improved.
Griffith Park was the largest urban park in the United States, located north of Hollywood and covering an area of 16 million square meters. It had golf courses, tennis courts, horseback riding trails, an observatory, a zoo, and more. Noah was somewhat familiar with the place because, in a game he once played, he had controlled a black boy and a middle...
Noah didn't know what Ms. Haifin was going to Los Angeles to deal with, and frankly, he was too lazy to ask.
She had her own career and personal commitments, and Noah wasn’t interested in prying.
However, he did know one thing—if anyone dared to provoke her, he would take action, even if it meant violating the Ministry of Magic’s regulations.
After all, she had taken care of him for so long. It wouldn’t be accurate to call her a mother figure, because if N...
The location for this War Game was set at the ruins.
It took an entire day for the 200 members of the Apollo Familia to arrive there. These 200 individuals represented nearly all of the Apollo Familia's combat-capable members. The ones who didn’t come were either mere supporters, novice adventurers, administrative staff, or those who had wisely left the Apollo Familia following Blake’s earlier declaration.
Upon arrival, the members immediately got to work repairing t...
“In just one week, you’ve not only broken the ability value cap multiple times but also continued to enhance your base abilities after leveling up. Blake, you’re truly a monster.”
Hestia pouted as she handed the paper to Blake, her face filled with pride.
“If Loki finds out about your situation, she’d probably be banging her chest in frustration. Just imagining it makes me so happy.”
Then, as if something had occurred to her, Hestia smirked mischievo...
"Blake, I’ve always believed in you. If someone with miraculous potential like you can’t level up, then no one from the lower world will ever be able to level up," Hestia said, her face resting on Blake’s back, her tone calm but filled with unwavering confidence. She was the one who understood his potential the most.
"Looks like I was overthinking it. By the way, Hestia, did I level up? I don't feel any different," Blake said with a faint smile, puzzled.
"Not yet. ...
Noah didn't know what Harry and the others were thinking.
And honestly, he wasn’t interested in knowing the thoughts of those two little troublemakers. He had already boarded the train to leave Hogwarts.
A year at the wizarding school had taught Noah many things. He had almost gotten used to using magic for most of his daily tasks.
Unfortunately, once he left the wizarding world, he would be restricted by some damn regulations—like the one that prohibited unde...
"The champion of the House Cup is… Ravenclaw!"
"Ward Kafa?"
As Dumbledore stood at the head table, passionately announcing the winner of the House Cup, Noah was completely dumbfounded.
What the hell is going on?
Looking around at the students who seemed to take it as a given, and at Kenn and the others, who were smiling at him knowingly, Noah had a bad feeling.
Professor Dumbledore, aren’t you supposed to continue your "fine tradition," ignore al...
"Siege battle?"
After Hestia revealed the war game decided at the divine council, Blake simply stroked his chin and revealed a meaningful smile.
"This is even better."
"Better?" Hestia said worriedly. "It's a siege battle. The opposing side will certainly deploy a significant number of troops, and Apollo's Familia will be the ones defending the city. Do you really think you can conquer a city defended by the elites of Apollo’s Familia?"
Siege battles are typicall...
"This... is too precious. I can’t accept it."
Looking at the magic sword in Hephaestus' hand, Blake smiled wryly. It wasn’t that he didn’t want a powerful weapon like this as a trump card, but he felt that one should not take rewards without doing something in return. He had already received a lot of help from Hephaestus, and accepting this would feel too greedy.
"I remember you’re not this kind of person. Stop being so formal. The only person who can control thi...
The sun rose and set, and the day passed swiftly.
Birds flew slowly toward the trees.
The sky gradually darkened.
The clouds were painted with a brilliant crimson, casting a golden hue over the bustling labyrinth city, signaling the end of the day.
During this time, adventurers who had been in the dungeon returned, and the entrance to Babel Tower became lively again.
Because the dungeon had only one entrance, adventurers naturally met up and exited t...

As Blake walked through the forest, two system notifications sounded, causi...
After dealing with Professor Dumbledore, Noah and the others were relieved.
There was no way around it—the Slytherins were just too arrogant.
And in Slytherin, the pure-blood ideology was truly exaggerated. Even students who didn’t believe in it didn’t dare to speak up, fearing they’d suddenly become Slytherin’s public enemy and suffer seven years of absolute misery.
Hogwarts didn’t have a precedent for inter-house transfers, and no one wanted to take ...
Dumbledore made a decision in his heart, but he didn’t express it.
There was nothing he could do about it—he was the Headmaster of a magic school.
His favoritism toward Harry had already raised enough eyebrows. If he showed similar treatment to another student, what would others think?
So, Dumbledore decided to change the topic. He looked at the honest Noah with a smile. The more he observed the boy, the more he liked him.
At such a young age, Noah had ...
The sudden turn of events caught even the composed Blake off guard. He could only stare in surprise at Ais, who blinked her golden eyes, looking uncertain about what to do next.
However, adhering to the principle of not passing up a good opportunity, Blake immediately wrapped his arms around Ais’s slender waist, ready to deepen the kiss. At that moment, a high-pitched scream, so loud it hurt the ears, echoed through the forest.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ais-sama!"
"You perve...
Blake and Ais walked together along the lush forest path, their bodies bathed in the soft light filtering through the scattered leaves, creating a poetic and beautiful scene.
"Although the 18th floor doesn't generate monsters, there are still some. They must have come from other floors," Blake said softly as he casually dispatched a red-eyed white rabbit wielding a small stone axe.
"Mm."
Ais nodded lightly in response, her jade-like hand instinctively pressing aga...
"Finally, we can rest!"
After passing through a slightly slanted cave, Tiona immediately stretched lazily, causing Finn and the others to shake their heads.
Walking at the front of the group, Blake looked ahead through the cave-like tunnel.
The sight before him made his eyes light up.
This was the Dungeon.
As a maze located underground, there shouldn’t have been anything breathtaking about the scenery here.
However, the reality was far from ...
Bastard!
Noah cursed in his heart. What a bastard!
Voldemort’s words were nothing short of a death trap for him.
Whether he had done it intentionally or not, those words left Noah in an impossible position.
Join him?
Him, of all people?
And he said this in front of his friends and Professor McGonagall?
Did he think he was Orochimaru or something?
Noah almost laughed out of sheer anger, but he quickly calmed himself.
It d...
Yes, Quirrell's mentality was off, and it was a very serious problem!
He was extremely nervous now—not just him, but Voldemort as well.
Quirrell didn't know why his master, Voldemort, was acting like this, but that didn’t stop him from guessing. Was it because Voldemort was too weak right now? Was that why he couldn't deal with Dumbledore?
On top of that, Noah's earlier mind games had rattled him. He felt as though all his secrets had been exposed, and that Du...
BOOM—
With overwhelming force, the massive creature known as Goliath shook off the debris clinging to its body and crashed through the shattered wall. Its brutal presence radiated sheer power as it barreled forward like a living mountain, shaking the ground with every step.
Blake stood firm, his eyes flashing with sharp focus as he gazed at the charging beast.
"Fall back."
At his command, Ais and the others quickly retreated, pulling Lili and Lefiya with ...
