Hogwarts: Please graduate soon! - Chapter 2

Orphaned but wealthy, Wayne Lawrence is undoubtedly a traveler from another world. As a traveler, it’s only natural for him to have his own unique perks. Starting in third grade, his special ability arrived, the Chaos Lord System.

By creating chaos and breaking the rules, he could earn Chaos Points in exchange for rewards. He might even receive extra rewards if his antics caused enough of a stir. Thanks to this system, Wayne gradually transformed from a model student into the infamous “Chaos Lord” at Westminster Primary School—someone whose name struck fear into the hearts of teachers and students alike.

Though his academic performance remained outstanding, his behavior made him quite unpopular. If it weren’t for his exceptional grades and strong background, he might have been expelled multiple times.

Over the years, Wayne has collected numerous rewards. For instance, when he blew up the restroom in fourth grade, he received a body optimization opportunity. After the optimization, Wayne, who was already quite charming, reached new heights of attractiveness, which helped him evade punishment.

Before graduation, a speech involving hammers and sickles won him the Memory Palace technique, granting him photographic memory. Just two days ago, Wayne spent all his points on a lottery, winning hundreds of thousands of pounds, a wealth of academic knowledge, and a golden epic reward, 15% equity in a certain software company, non-dilutable.

But who would have thought… this was the world of Harry Potter. This morning, upon receiving his acceptance letter from the round-faced, plump chicken from Scotland, the system chimed in,

【Detected host job change, upgrading system…】

【Chaos Lord System version 2.0 at your service. May you bring unique vitality to this dull world.】

Wayne sighed. Had he known he would receive an acceptance letter from Hogwarts, he wouldn’t have splurged all his points so carelessly. Reflecting on his past eleven years, he tried to recall any evidence of his magical outbursts.

Once, while visiting the United States, he thought the torch of the Statue of Liberty was ugly, and the statue’s arm broke, making international headlines. Back then, he assumed it was due to the statue’s age; now, he believed it was a result of his magic.

After a brief wait, the system finally replied,

【Points spent are non-refundable. You will receive a Job Upgrade Gift Pack and a System Upgrade Gift Pack.】

Seeing the words on the screen, Wayne felt a bit relieved. This was like getting two newbie gift packs.

“Open,” he said casually. After a quick ritual, he opened the treasure chest.

【Opened Job Upgrade Gift Pack. Congratulations, host! You have received a Character Template Card and access to your personal attributes panel.】

【Opened System Upgrade Gift Pack. Congratulations, host! You have received a Pokémon Egg (adapted for local conditions) and an incubation device.】

Wayne’s eyes widened slightly. Wow! The system upgrade was impressive; it even provided a Pokémon Egg. This was crossing worlds!

With a thought, a device the size of a suitcase and a Pokémon Egg appeared on the table, along with a manual. The operation was simple, place the egg inside, connect the device to a power source, and it would automatically hatch in ten days. The system noted that if he dripped a drop of blood on the eggshell, the Pokémon would start with maximum friendship.

After setting up the incubation device, Wayne turned to his other reward.

【Template Card (Gold): Randomly gain all talents and special abilities of an S-level or above wizard.】

“S-level? How is that ranked?” Wayne asked curiously.

Soon, a line of text appeared on the screen.

【D-level talent: barely passes OWLS; C-level talent: can pass NEWTs normally.】

【B-level talent: magical energy is active, some talent in magic; A-level talent: genius in ordinary people’s eyes.】

【S-level talent: an extraordinary genius, enough to be remembered in history.】

【SS-level talent: rare in a century, a dazzling presence throughout history, influencing historical processes.】

【SSS-level talent: legendary!】

Wayne took a moment to absorb this. Instead of rushing to use the template card, he instructed, “Open my personal panel.”

He wanted to see what his own talents looked like.

【Host: Wayne Lawrence

Magic: A+

Spellcasting: A-

Defense Against Dark Arts: B

Dark Arts: A+

Transfiguration: B

Potions: A

Alchemy: A-

Special Talent: Memory Palace (photographic memory, increased brain capacity).

Overall Evaluation: A-. With your strong talent in Dark Arts, you can become an outstanding dark wizard. Embrace the darkness, young man!】

After reviewing his panel, Wayne’s eyelids twitched. An overall evaluation of A- seemed decent at first glance. However, he felt the rating was somewhat absurd, relying heavily on his excellent magical power and Dark Arts talent, while his Potions and Alchemy scores likely benefited from his photographic memory.

But he couldn’t just use Dark Arts freely; the old bee would be the first to have a chat with him.

“Open!” Wayne said, increasingly impatient. “Just give me that template card!”

He had been the top student for six years, won awards in math competitions, and mastered countless skills. How could he only get an A- rating? Don’t ask; it was clearly the system suppressing him.

As the golden light shattered, Wayne could hardly see anything before the template transformed into a stream of light and entered his mind. The system’s notification followed a moment later,

【Congratulations, host! You have obtained an SS-level template: the Invincible Andros, an ancient Greek archmage!】

Feeling a slight dizziness, Wayne suddenly sensed an indescribable power within him. Magic! He truly felt the presence of magic. Invisible and intangible, but as he raised his arm, the cup on the table floated into the air without a spell or wand.

He simply wished for it to float, and it did.

In just a few seconds, Wayne experienced a complete transformation of his abilities. It was like night and day!

With no memory of a figure named Andros, Wayne felt momentarily lost. Who was this powerful person?

Instinctively, he opened his current panel, his pupils dilating in surprise.
