The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Erwin returned to Ilvermorny from the lift in the Heart of Greylock. If he went directly to the top of the mountain, he would have to pass through the territory of the Pukki goblins. Those guys are now targeting all humans who do not wear Ilvermorny school uniforms.

Be extremely hostile.

This is naturally all thanks to a certain girl from Russia.

Erwin was already quite familiar with this wizard market located in the center of the mountain, and there was no possibility of getting lost.

It was Sunday afternoon, and Ilvermorny Castle seemed a little deserted. The few students I met occasionally looked at Erwin in strange ways.

Is it because I'm not wearing the Ilvermorny school uniform? Erwin is a little weird.

Returning to the international exchange student dormitory provided by Ilvermorny, Erwin couldn't help but stop as soon as he walked into the lounge.

Sitting on the sofa is a girl with skin as transparent as ice and snow. She is wearing pajamas. Judging from the curves under the light clothes, her actual figure is not as thin as it seems.

Lyudmila, who could have imagined that a girl who looks frail may actually be the most terrifying student in this school?

Erwin's attitude towards him was not to say that he was keeping a distance, but he was cautious and a little curious at the same time.

Don't get me wrong, it's not out of curiosity from the perspective of the opposite sex. For a wizard, no matter how beautiful the appearance is, it's just a skin. What he is interested in is the magic the other party has mastered, which is extremely powerful that even Riddle doesn't recognize.

Lethal magic.

She didn't know what means she used to make those Pukechi goblins self-destruct from the inside out.

However, Erwin estimated that that kind of magic would be ineffective on him, because the main function of his royal cloak is to prevent others from triggering magic effects in his body, which is a special defense for professional lip-syncing.

Erwin looked around and found that no one else was there. Maybe that's why she walked out of the room?

He remembered that when he left three days ago, his eldest sister Angela was quite worried about this northern girl who always locked herself in her room.

In other words, she is relatively withdrawn and doesn't want to interact with other people?

"Good afternoon." Erwin said in a relaxed tone.

Lyudmila, who was reading attentively, slowly raised her head. The color of her pupils was very light, like a frozen lake.

"Are you talking to me?" she asked after a few seconds.

"Otherwise, is there a third person here?"

"Oh." Lyudmila responded lightly, then lowered her head to read her book.

Not bad, at least not unable to communicate at all. Erwin shrugged, turned and walked into his room.

There was no change in the room compared to when he left three days ago. There was a little dust on the table, which meant that no one had come in during this period. Out of respect for privacy, Ilvermorny had no arrangements.

Cleaning staff.

After tidying up the room with a few cleaning spells, Erwin walked out again, "Where did everyone else go?" He asked Ludmila again.

This time there was no response.

Erwin was a little helpless.

At this time, there was suddenly a clear knock on the door, coming from outside the lounge.

Erwin opened the door and saw a rather shrewd-looking boy with a crew cut, who looked a bit like a rodent.

"Is that Mr. Erwin Frost?" he asked in a smooth accent.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Erwin asked calmly.

"Hello, I am Jimmy, Jimmy Valentine." The boy with the crew cut looked very enthusiastic, even a little bit like he was trying to fawn over Erwin, "On behalf of the Ilvermorny Brotherhood, I would like to invite you to a grand event.

.”

Brotherhood of Ilvermorny?

Erwin was stunned.

"They seem to have established an organization among students here?" Riddle said with great interest: "Maybe you can learn from their experience."

"The nature is different. The only students I can unite with at Hogwarts are Muggle-born students." Erwin said to him.

The members of this fraternity obviously came here on purpose. Erwin did not hide his whereabouts. When he returned to Ilvermorny, he was noticed by many students.

It's obvious that the person who came here is not a good person.

"Sorry, I'm not available." Erwin refused.

It is estimated that some school bully type person wants to establish his prestige through him. Erwin has no interest in this. If he causes any trouble, it will make things difficult for the professors here.

"Don't rush to say no, the geniuses of other schools are all there, it's just you." Jimmy Valentine said with a smile.

"They're all over there? Then why is she here?" Erwin turned his eyes to the girl behind him.

Lyudmila didn't even look here and didn't care about them at all.

"We can't afford to offend that guy." Jimmy shrank his head.

Erwin's expression changed slightly. Didn't he say he wanted to block the news? Could it be that the deaths of more than a dozen Pukki had already spread?

He did not intend to continue to embarrass the messenger, "What is the so-called grand event you want me to go to? Where is it?"

"You'll find out when you go there." Jimmy Valentine pretended to be mysterious.

Erwin snorted, "Then let's go."

Jimmy Valentine was in front, leading Erwin up the stairs, which surprised the latter. He thought they would go to an underground secret room or some other secret place.

After a while, they arrived at the top floor of Ilvermorny Castle.

Jimmy Valentine pushed open the heavy oak door with great difficulty, then turned around and shouted to Erwin with joy: "Welcome to the 'Duel Summit' of Ilvermorny!"

Erwin walked in and saw a space similar to a large sports venue, which obviously used very advanced space extension magic. It was surrounded by terraced stands, and in the center was the duel venue.

The reason why it is so certain that it is a duel venue is because there are two young wizards fighting there, one of whom is Viktor Krum.

There were many students from Ilvermorny in the surrounding stands, and Erwin noticed that there was even a referee and an adult faculty member.

"You actually encourage students to fight with each other?" Erwin asked.

"Isn't it over in England?" Jimmy Valentine looked even more surprised than Erwin.

"Indeed not." Erwin shook his head.

Sure enough, even in a magical society, North America has much more martial virtues than the British side.

The only combat-related course at Hogwarts is the Defense Against the Dark Arts course. Just hearing the name tells you how conservative the concept is, and most of the content of the course is just how to deal with various common dangerous creatures.

As the actual shareholder of Hogwarts, the British Ministry of Magic naturally has the power to decide the teaching materials. Their intention in setting up the Defense Against the Dark Arts course is obvious, that is, they believe that an ordinary British wizard only needs to learn to deal with this level of danger.

As for Ilvermorny, since students are encouraged to practice fighting with each other, it means that the school and even MACUSA believe that these students may face far greater dangers than conventional harmful animals after graduation, and must be accustomed to them.

The battle between wizards.

As an island country with a long history of magical society, Britain can be said to be very safe. Generations of wizards have eliminated almost most of the dangers in this country, but this does not seem to be the case here in America.

Erwin turned his attention to Viktor Krum's opponent, a handsome young man with blond hair. At this time, he was holding a wand and smiling. His relaxed and carefree appearance was similar to Krum's.

Mu's preparedness formed a sharp contrast.

"That is the leader of our brotherhood, Carlius Augustus." Jimmy Valentine's tone rose, even with a hint of fanaticism.

"So he asked you to invite me here?" Erwin narrowed his eyes slightly, "And the original reason why he asked me to come here was to fight with me like this?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, this is just a friendly exchange." Jimmy Valentine looked very surprised.

Erwin didn't bother to pay attention to this naughty guy. He continued to scan and soon saw the familiar figure he was looking for.

At the edge of the duel venue, the eldest sisters Angela, Virginio and Ogg were all there.

Erwin approached and noticed that the big man Ogg had a lot of bruises on his face, and his left arm was bent abnormally. Angela was treating him.

The professional ability of the eldest sister is beyond words, the injury is recovering quickly, and the treatment has obviously been going on for a while, which shows that Ogg's initial injury may have been quite serious.

"What's going on?" Erwin asked Virginio.

"Aren't they all the same Carlius?" Virginio, the Latin American spirit boy said angrily.

"Carlius August is the person who represents Ilvermorny in Professor Suuene's research project, which means that he will be our partner in the next year." Angela explained, her emotions

Much more peaceful, nothing seems to make this gentle mediwitch angry.

"Then why did they start fighting?" Erwin asked.

"Because Carlius said that Professor Suuene will choose a special assistant among us, and it is up to us to decide the choice."

Erwin understood that the so-called special assistants were actually the team leaders of their group, who would have more opportunities to access the research content.

"So that Carlius proposed to have a fight to decide who will be the special assistant?" Erwin narrowed his eyes.

"Yes." Angela nodded.

This is obviously unreasonable. For someone like Angela, whose research direction is medical magic, her dueling level is definitely not very good. It would be difficult for her to participate in the competition, but she doesn't seem to mind too much from the looks of it.

Virginio sneered, "I didn't show up at the beginning, but after finding out some details about us for nearly a week, I suddenly came out and proposed a duel. Obviously, I wanted to use us as a stepping stone to step on more.

ah,"

"Being able to hurt Ogg like this shows that Carlius seems to be quite strong." Erwin said.

"He can't be said to be strong." The dull Ogg suddenly said, "He can only be said to be very good at dueling."
