The Little Superman of Hogwarts

After Harry Potter won the tournament, the entire Hogwarts celebrated for two whole days.

During these two days, Kerry compiled all the books he knew about Chinese Feng Shui and the Book of Changes into a volume and placed it in the library.

The five mazes of the Triwizard Tournament became permanent structures, standing tall on the Hogwarts grounds.

This place became a stage for students to challenge themselves. Kerry removed all the monsters and replaced them with fake puppets to ensure the students' safety.

The idea for this came from the challenge towers in many fantasy novels. Many fantasy novels feature a hundred-foot-tall building for the protagonist to show off and break new records.

The Triwizard Tournament maze was named the Maze Arena by Kerry.

At the entrance of the arena, there were record boards for completion time and sub-categories. Obviously, this maze would become a new landmark of Hogwarts.

Not only students from Hogwarts itself, but also students from other schools might come here to challenge it.

The name [Labyrinth Arena / 迷宫 决斗场] didn't catch on. Everyone preferred its nickname—[Snail].

When the Triwizard Tournament ended, the final exams were approaching, and everyone was busy preparing for exam week.

But no one expected that at this time, an explosive piece of news would come out—[Dumbledore resigns from his position as Headmaster of Hogwarts!]

Yes, Dumbledore had long wanted to explore other universes. He wanted to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and embark on the path of saving the magical tide of this world.

More importantly, he wanted to see his sister who was still alive in other worlds…

This news almost instantly ignited the entire British magical world. Every day, many ancient wizards, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, came to bid farewell to Dumbledore. Some of them even had lifespans of hundreds of years.

And naturally, Professor McGonagall took over Dumbledore's position and became the new Headmaster of Hogwarts. All the students had no objection to this succession. Professor McGonagall was the only teacher in Hogwarts who could be considered a [normal person], and she had a very high reputation among the students.

In the original book, the person who took over as Headmaster of Hogwarts should have been the pink toad, but unfortunately, she had lost all face before and returned to her position in the Ministry of Magic.

The first thing Professor McGonagall did after taking office was to increase the salaries of the professors.

Because the Snail Shell was a paid attraction—10 Galleons per visit for outsiders, and one Galleon per visit for students or professors within the school.

Students within the school from the 4th year onwards had one free entry opportunity each year, and the school's professors had one free entry each month.

This simple measure caused Hogwarts' income to skyrocket, and Professor McGonagall immediately used it to raise the salaries of all professors—all the professors and staff of the school benefited from this, and Headmaster McGonagall's prestige directly reached its peak, even surpassing Dumbledore.

Against this backdrop, the final exams ended, and the students welcomed the wonderful summer vacation.

Kerry and Hermione had already graduated from school, but they didn't idle during this summer vacation. They decided to add a part to the Arcane Center—the [Arcane Advanced Magic Research Center] was established.

On August 2, 1995, Kerry stood in front of a group of wizards and announced the establishment of the Research Center!

This day was the Qixi Festival in the Chinese lunar calendar, a date specially chosen by Kerry.

"In the Muggle world, they can enter institutions called universities or colleges after adulthood to continue learning and obtain different knowledge, thereby obtaining different degrees."

"I believe that the study of magic also needs such institutions!"

"In the past thousand years, all wizards have not had systematic and in-depth magical research and learning places after adulthood. Therefore, I imitated Muggle training institutions and established the Arcane Advanced Magic Research Center."

"Here, adult wizards can continue to study for two years. In these two years, they will continue to study in one direction. Those who like herbs can continue to study Herbology, and those who like witchcraft can continue to study various kinds of magic. Starting in the third year, they must combine the knowledge and work in their hands, which I call [Internship]."

This process will last for two years. If they don't plan their life well in these two years…

And for those who can successfully complete these 4 years of research work, we will award the title of: Advanced Magician!"

"Advanced Magician, as the name suggests, means that they have gone further on the path of magic."

Speaking of this, Kerry deliberately paused for a moment, meaningfully sweeping across everyone in the audience: "This also means that their abilities are stronger than their peers. In other words, it also means that they are more suitable for getting some excellent jobs!"

These people who received Kerry's invitation today came from all corners of the earth. They all had one thing in common—these people were either wealthy or high-ranking officials, and they controlled the livelihoods of many wizards.

"The Advanced Magic Research Institute accepts wizards from anywhere in the world. Anyone can study here. We have a strict assessment system. I can guarantee to everyone here:

Everyone who obtains the title of Advanced Magician must be a true talent."

Hearing this, everyone present showed a thoughtful expression. Kerry was creating a brand new track.

On the same day, the news of the establishment of the [Arcane Advanced Magic Research Institute] immediately topped all the newspaper headlines in the magical world—not because it was explosive news, but because Kerry invested tens of thousands of Galleons—commonly known as "advertising fees"!

Many wizards didn't have a business mind, so these newspapers rarely saw people "buying the front page". This wasn't 2020, where buying a front page cost many w's. Only a few tens to hundreds of Galleons were enough. In just a few days, all the wizards in the world knew about this.

By the end of August, the Research Center had received more than five hundred applications. In the end, Kerry selected 15 wealthy and well-connected "excellent wizards" and—another 150 truly capable and genuine human elites.

Among the 150 people, 30 people received a 100% full scholarship, and the other 120 people needed to pay a not-too-high tuition fee each year.

And the parents of those 15 specially recruited excellent wizards gave the Research Institute tens of thousands of Galleons in sponsorship fees each, totaling 220,000 Galleons for the 15 people.

It cost hundreds of thousands of Galleons to start the Research Institute and advertise, but by the beginning of September, he had recovered all of his investment.

Kerry didn't even expect to break even so quickly—Kerry really brought a small Muggle shock to the wizarding world.
