Just when the wizards surrounded Ivan for a burst of flattery, the defeated Grace found that her body was bound by a stout snake and could not move at all.

The hideous snake head was as thick as a thigh, a pair of cold eyes stared at him, and his mouth spit snake letters from time to time, making a hissing sound, and he could bite it at any time.

"Ahhh I give up... I throw in the towel! Grace was frightened for a while, and shouted frantically.

Grace's screams suddenly broke the harmonious atmosphere on the field, and many people turned their eyes away.

Ivan waved his wand at will, and the python that bound Grace suddenly dispersed into a cloud of smoke, and finally reduced to a table leg.

After Grace got rid of the restraints, she was still a little afraid, and threw aside the table leg that was pressing on her as quickly as she could.

Only then did Grace notice that everyone present was looking at her, and some wizards even laughed gloatingly, and Grace's expression became very depressed, and she felt that her performance today was too bad.

Ivan didn't think so, he slowly stepped forward and pulled Grace up who was sitting on the ground, reached out to wipe some dust off Grace's shoulders, and spoke.

"You did a good job just now, if you can get rid of your impatience, calm down and think more during the fight, I think it's okay to become an enforcer."

"Really? Lord Hals? Grace froze in place, and asked in surprise.

"Dang! That only if you work hard to fix these problems and win enough in the dueling arena this month! Ivan said with a smile.

Although he had always regarded the Iron Armor Charm as a basic spell, he also knew that this magic was still a bit difficult for ordinary wizards.

It's not easy for Grace to master it at this age and use it with ease.

In the previous sparring training, Grace also grew very quickly, and if he had experienced a few more battles like this, Ivan estimated that he would never be so easy to defeat the opponent again.

"Yes! Lord Hals! Grace bowed respectfully to Ivan, looking very excited.

Ivan's gentle words made Grace a little flattered.

She had heard a lot of rumors about Ivan before, and she thought that this little wizard must be moody and difficult to get along with, but now it didn't seem to be as terrifying as they said...

Ivan felt Grace's change in mood and nodded secretly, it seemed that his efforts were still very effective, and it wouldn't be long before these wizards could make a difference in themselves.

It's a pity that I don't have much time left in Tumbledown Alley!

......

In the evening, after finishing today's practice, Ivan found Aisya and told him about his preparations to leave Tumbledown Alley in the past few days.

"Leave? Where are you going? Aisya frowned and asked suspiciously.

"Meet Mr. Nick Lemay! He sent me a letter saying he wanted to meet me during the summer vacation! Ivan took a letter from his bosom and handed it to Althea.

"No! You can take a look..."

"Nick... Lemay? Althea took the envelope in surprise, always feeling that the name seemed to have been heard somewhere, and then remembered and said in astonishment. Is that the maker of the Philosopher's Stone?! ”

Also an alchemist, Althea is no stranger to this master of alchemy, and when she first studied alchemy, she regarded Nick Lemay as her role model.

It's just that this alchemist in the wizarding world is too old, and he has no intersection with them, so it's not easy to meet him, so when Ivan first mentioned the name, Althea didn't think about it at all.

"That's that Nick Lemay!" Ivan nodded, confirming Althea's guess.

"But... How could he send you a letter? Althea was both excited and a little puzzled, and when she opened the envelope, she found that there was not much content inside, it was just a simple invitation letter, and there was no specific reason for it.

"Maybe it's because I'm so talented... Maybe Nick Lemay is looking for an apprentice to inherit the mantle, after all, there are not many geniuses like me! Ivan shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to tell him about breaking the timer, so he had to explain half-truths.

Listening to Ivan's narcissistic words, Aisya couldn't help but stretch out her hand and flick it on Ivan's forehead with a smile, but she didn't refute, but asked.

"And when are you going to meet your new teacher..."

"Do you want your mother to come with you?" Althea said with a chuckle.

"No, I'd better go by myself! Just the day after tomorrow! Ivan hurriedly shook his head, he was not really a child, and it was too shameful to let his parents accompany him.

More crucially, he did not tell Althea that Dumbledore had facilitated this meeting with Nicol Lemay, and that if he wanted to enter Nick's safe house this time, he would probably need to be taken by the old professor.

If Althea went with him, Ivan was worried that there would be a fight.

Althea didn't force it, she just said this to tease Ivan.

However, when he learned that Ivan was going to leave the day after tomorrow, Althea was also a little reluctant at the same time as the accident.

It's only been a week since Ivan returned to Tumbledown Alley, and so many things have happened in the meantime, and the time for their mother and son to really get along with each other is very little.

But Aisya is very aware of the priorities of the matter, her alchemy level is limited, and during the summer vacation last year, Aisya found that she had nothing left to teach Ivan, and any further progress would only delay his talent.

At this stage, only the alchemist can show Ivan the way forward...

So no matter how reluctant she was, Althea agreed, and even began to think about what kind of gift she should prepare for visiting Nick Lemay.

Ivan suddenly thought of something and spoke. "Mom, during my absence, you remember to help me watch those wizards, let everyone stay in Tumbledown Alley, and train every day according to the method I gave, it's best not to give them time to spare!"

With this precedent, Ivan was very worried that the brain-fillers would take advantage of his absence to do something.

He didn't want to come back next summer and find out that Doggett and the others had already led someone to raze the Ministry of Magic...

Although this possibility is very small, and it is impossible for those fifty wizards to defeat the Auror Legion, Ivan believes that it is necessary to strangle this possibility in the cradle!
