Chapter 243: Busy and Peaceful Days
🕑 Added 2025-07-16 03:58:19 +0000 UTC"I can help you remove the will contained in the power. This high-purity power is very beneficial to your magic."
The system quickly responded, and Noah fell into deep thought again.
It must be said that the system was right. These high-purity powers were definitely very attractive to Noah now. Under the influence of this power, his magic would definitely be further strengthened.
But what puzzled Noah was that the system emphasized the word magic power but didn't mention the concept of body.
Noah was not short of magic power; in fact, his magic power had become excessive due to his body’s evolution. He thought of a cartoon he had seen, where a character had too much magic power, much like Noah, who felt as though he had a fox in his stomach.
The difference, however, was that the character in the cartoon didn’t have the knowledge and practical experience required for promotion.
Noah, on the other hand, had read all the books in Kamar-Taj in eight years—except for some that the Ancient One had specifically forbidden. Of course, those had also been read in the system space.
Noah did not lack knowledge at all. As for practical experience?
Come on. Noah's practical experience was rich. Back in Hogwarts, he dared to challenge powerful professors, even though he got beaten to a pulp every time.
When he arrived at Kamar-Taj, he found someone to practice with almost every day. It could be said that Noah didn’t lack experience in actual combat.
The only thing limiting Noah was his body, which had evolved by absorbing Carol’s blood.
"Can't this power be refined into something that could evolve the body?" Noah asked, a little depressed.
"You want to use magic power to evolve your body?" the system asked in return.
"No?"
"Then why do you think it’s possible?"
Noah was too lazy to argue with the system about these things.
Magic power from high dimensions can’t improve the body?
He thought it was impossible. Though Noah himself had tried to use his magic power to improve his body, he failed. But no matter how much magic power he had, it was only sixth-level magic power. High-dimensional magic power was above the tenth level. It seemed almost unfair that the system told him it couldn’t help him with this.
Noah rolled his eyes, but then he thought of other ways.
"By the way, system, do you have an exchange function?"
"Yes, but you can't exchange for things that improve your strength, and there are no so-called artifacts."
Noah nearly rolled his eyes. After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Then why do you say you can help me?"
"I can provide knowledge."
The system responded slowly: "I am here to assist you in becoming the greatest magician. The path of a magician is never simple, because even if you have sufficient magic power and terrible magic skills, without the qualities of a true magician, you don't deserve to be called one."
"Knowledge is the most essential element of a magician, followed by magic power and other qualities. With me, talent is not a problem. Do you understand?"
Knowledge as the core? Followed by magic power? Talent is not a problem?
Noah had no energy to complain anymore. He felt so depressed that he could hardly speak for a long time.
You are powerful, you have the final say, I won't argue, okay?
"What can I exchange?" Noah asked after a long pause.
"What you want is the information on dragons and the precautions of Animagus," the system answered directly.
This answer made Noah’s eyes light up, but he hesitated before asking, "How much of these powers do you want to take?"
"It’s not taking," the system replied. "It’s just a reserve for some unpredictable things."
The system didn't hide anything: "Last time, you blamed me for not telling you what the power of the Space Gem was for. This time, I can tell you that I will use it to save you. Of course, you can make better use of these powers if you succeed."
Noah felt a pang in his heart. Was this the feeling of salt being sprinkled on the wound?
When Noah thought about the important reason why his current physical fitness hadn’t improved—the power extracted from the Space Gem had been wasted—he felt heartbroken.
It wasn't that he didn't want to go to Fury and get the gem back to draw more power. But the Ancient One had explicitly forbidden him from doing so and warned him that even if he wanted to retrieve it, he'd have to wait at least until after 2012.
"Okay, then I choose to exchange with you. But it doesn't seem like an exchange. Why do I feel like I’m at a disadvantage?"
"This is just a model adopted according to your wishes. So I said it’s okay."
Entering the system library, Noah indeed found these materials. They were thick and detailed, covering everything from the changes in the elemental attributes of dragons, the flow of dragon magic power, and even some information about the dragon's evolution.
Noah didn’t know where these materials came from, but they were written in such detail that he had to believe them.
However, there was a lack of information about the dragon’s body structure, which disappointed him a little.
Noah didn’t mind, though. Since the system hadn’t provided it, he assumed the system felt he could research that area himself. In fact, his research ideas seemed to be correct. He chose not to depend too much on the system, so he was fine without that information.
As for the Animagus materials, Noah found them strange. They were similar to the traditional Animagus transformations but with even greater differences! They detailed the precautions when changing forms and also explained the storage and operation methods of reversing magic power.
But, once again, they lacked research on physical biology.
Despite these gaps, the materials were incredibly helpful to Noah. With them, he didn't know how many detours he could avoid!
"It seems the things produced by the system are really refined. These materials will keep me busy for years. I'm not Tony Stark; I’m not as talented as you, so I’ll need more time and effort!" Noah made his decision quickly.
To be honest, Noah didn’t think he was that smart. His advantage lay in knowing the future and having the system’s help.
Although he lacked time in the real world, he wasn’t worried because in the system space, he had six times more time than ordinary people. He could take it slow.
But "slow" wasn’t entirely fitting. Who didn’t want to be more secure when they knew there was danger?
Noah wasn’t stupid. He had set a small goal for himself: At least by the time Iron Man appeared, he would have achieved seventh-level strength!
Research was very time-consuming. It consumed time as much as studying magic seriously.
Noah hadn’t realized how quickly time was passing. The only one who seemed to notice was Ms. Heifen, who often mentioned upcoming festivals.
In addition, Evan and the others took a good rest after graduation before reporting to the Ministry of Magic. Then, they took time to study with Noah.
Noah now understood why those mysterious magical organizations liked research so much. The charm of magic was indeed hard to resist. For example, Noah had been studying a conjecture that seemed like a fun project at the start, but he had now spent years on it.
If not for the system’s help, his magical cultivation might have fallen behind.
Fortunately, Noah’s research was making good progress.
After Evan and the others arrived, Noah began splitting the information into simpler parts and gave the easiest sections to them.
Evan and the others were a little confused after reading the materials. Although these were the simplest in Noah’s eyes, they were far beyond their understanding.
But the materials made it clear to Evan and the others that Noah had put in tremendous effort.
"It seems we need to work harder too."
After reading the materials in detail, Evan and the others realized their progress was slow. However, they had no choice. They had joined the Ministry of Magic and had high-ranking positions.
Evan entered the logistics department of the Minister’s Office as a secretary. Lance joined the Auror Command of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, assisting the current director. Kate worked in the International Magical Law Office of the Department of International Magical Cooperation. He was the busiest of them all.
Hermione also joined the Ministry, working in the British Office of the International Confederation of Magicians.
Students who graduated from Kamar-Taj University had mostly entered the Ministry of Magic or returned to Hogwarts, like Longbottom.
Their busyness couldn’t be compared to Noah’s, who seemed to have little to do. As a result, Noah had never blamed Evan and the others.
Noah’s life was quite monotonous now. He had already memorized all the information. Now, in his free time, he studied the dragon he had bought from Hungary.
He also collaborated with Charles for inspections and listened to the results.
Or, he took Ms. Heifen out for a stroll—like going to New York for fun.
The most important thing, however, was his daily reports to Kamar-Taj or receiving the Ancient One in the temple once a month.
But such a peaceful life was about to be broken, and the one to break it was Dumbledore.
