Ding, after a period of practice, your alchemy level has increased significantly, and the current level is six (15999/16000)]

At the same time as the spell was cast, the system's reminder sound also sounded in his head, and Ivan couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he looked at the progress bar that was almost ready to upgrade.

He thought that he would be able to break through the bottleneck of alchemy by repairing the crescent moon pendant, but now it seems that something is still missing after all.

However, Ivan quickly adjusted his mood, and was able to successfully repair the crescent moon pendant with the help of the most intense mood swings in the past few days, which had already met his expectations.

Then, Ivan opened the system's inventory and looked at it.

[Magic Item: Crescent Pendant.]

Magic: Strong

Description: It is a magical item crafted from a large amount of precious metal, which can withstand lethal attacks until the power is exhausted.

Notes: You have successfully repaired this magic item and strengthened it, and the secret is to inject love into it...]

The attributes of the crescent moon pendant repaired by Ivan have been enhanced a lot, there is no limit on the number of blocks, and the mana rating has also increased from strong to strong.

After all, his current strength and alchemy level have comprehensively surpassed Althea, and he uses the high-end guidance skills taught by Nick Lemay, so he can naturally better use the power of emotions.

While paying attention to the system bar, Ivan certainly did not forget Hermione, he put the repaired meniscus pendant back and spoke.

"In my absence, it will protect you in my place!"

Ivan was serious, he chose to give the crescent moon pendant to Hermione as a Christmas present, partly to take advantage of this rare opportunity to repair it, and partly to worry about Hermione's danger in the second game.

Although another magic item protective ring he made could also have some protective effect, it needed to be activated, and once Hermione was unconscious, the ring was no different from an ornament.

Unlike the Crescent Moon Pendant, it is passive, and it will be activated automatically whenever the carrier is attacked by a strong force.

The only thing that made Ivan hesitate was that the repair of the crescent moon pendant was the apprenticeship voucher he had agreed with Nick Lemay, and it was given to Hermione, and he wouldn't be able to come up with the second one by then.

However, Ivan believes that the real test of this master alchemist should be whether he can apply the power of emotions to the production of magical objects, which he has successfully done.

As long as you practice a little more, it shouldn't be a problem to make some similar magic items to prove your ability, but it may not have such a powerful effect.

"Are you really going to give me something so precious? Ivan? Hermione looked at the repaired crescent moon pendant, her heart flustered, and she looked at Ivan very uneasily. If it can resist those dangerous spells, you need it more than I do. ”

"Have you forgotten how I fixed it?" Ivan soothed Hermione and explained. "It will only protect you alone! If it's given to someone else, it's just an ordinary pendant......"

Listening to Ivan's words, Hermione fell silent, she didn't know much about alchemy, but she could intuitively perceive the friendship that Ivan showed when he repaired the pendant.

Ivan probably poured his love for her into the pendant, forming a special protective spell.

Thinking of this, Hermione was very moved, and her heart, which was already filled with happiness and joy, was now overflowing, and the brown eyes that looked at Ivan became more and more hazy.

She wanted to thank Ivan, but she didn't think that was enough, and the enthusiasm that rose from the bottom of her heart almost drowned Hermione.

She was desperate to do something, and when she saw the scarf she had given Ivan, her face flushed slightly, so she stretched out her hand and put it on one end of the scarf and pulled it gently.

Ivan was defenseless at all, and was led to bow his head, and then he saw Hermione's delicate face getting closer and closer, her eyes closed nervously, and her rosy lips were slightly open, imprinted on his lips.

The lips only met for a short moment, and they quickly separated.

Before Ivan could react, Hermione jumped far away, her face as red as fire.

Ivan didn't expect Hermione to be so proactive at all, he touched his lips, as if he was still reminiscing about the touch just now, and then looked at the little witch and asked jokingly.

"Is this what you're going to give me for Christmas?"

"No, give you a scarf!" Hermione's face was flushed, and her breathing was a little shramped.

Seeing the little witch's intoxicated gesture, Ivan's enthusiasm weakened by the channeling magic was rekindled, and he wanted to continue the kiss under the banner of giving another Christmas gift.

But how could Hermione let him succeed, she was completely dizzy before, and now she is too shy to do it, and now she says that she will not do it again.

……

On the second day of Christmas, after a night of noise and late awakening, the Gryffindor common room was much quieter than before, as if all their energy had been exhausted yesterday.

If it weren't for the fact that there were a few more couples on campus, and the occasional discussion of yesterday's Christmas ball, it almost made Ivan suspect that what happened last night was a hallucination.

Because Hermione was back to her usual appearance, wearing a standard school uniform, holding a large pile of books in her arms, she walked over quickly after seeing them, and put the books down.

The big ginger cat, Crookshan, followed Hermione, and after the little witch sat down, he jumped into her arms and coquettishly coquettishly.

"Hermione, why don't you take care of your hair in a gown, how beautiful you were yesterday......" Ivan asked curiously, and he was counting on the days when he didn't have to go to class.

"There's no prom today, it's too much trouble to do that every day!" Hermione turned her head to look at Ivan, explaining in distress.

She still felt more comfortable walking than wearing a beautiful long dress, and she spent more than an hour just taking care of her hair yesterday in order to attend the prom.

"And... We still have to learn! Hermione added quietly, remembering yesterday's events, her face flushed slightly.

Ivan shrugged his shoulders, he really didn't understand, what does dressing up have to do with studying?

But remembering the little witch's intoxicating posture last night, he had some realization, maybe he couldn't help but be distracted?
