Following Hermione into the principal's office, the door behind her automatically closed, and the two stone beasts sat back in their original positions with slow steps, returning to their original appearance.

In the principal's room, an orange-yellow glow shone from the giant chandelier, and the light was refracted through the transparent unknown crystals to every corner of the room.

A large number of unknown instruments occupied most of the space in this room, and the chaotic magic fluctuations were transmitted to Mu Yan's spiritual power for the first time, like a group of children who were coaxing around to compete for candy, and the noisy information made Mu Yan, who stepped here for the first time, a little confused for a while.

These are all alchemy equipment?!

And the grade is not low!

Mu Yan decisively withdrew his spiritual power, the alchemy equipment in this world was just like the wizards here, and he had never concealed the idea of his magic power fluctuations.

He already had a clear understanding of this after studying the elementary alchemy for so long, and the wizards here were born with weak mental power, and in terms of spiritual power induction, they were like 800 degrees of myopia without glasses, and their perception of magic fluctuations was weak!

For a wizard like Mu Yan, the chaotic magic fluctuations will not only expose the items on his body, but also disturb the spiritual power and affect the magic weaving when the magic is released.

But for the wizards of this world, none of this is a thing at all!

Disturbing mental power?

Their weak mental power is difficult to even perceive the fluctuation of mana, how can they interfere?

Affect the release of mana?

Compared to their inherently large and irrepressible mana, this mana fluctuation is not even a breeze, it has a fart effect!

So these problems aside, the advantages of alchemy in this world are highlighted from the other side.

First of all, a large amount of excess mana is emitted outward, and the alchemy equipment itself is much less stressed when it is operating, and the alchemist can expand the range of its power fluctuations as much as possible when designing magic items.

Secondly, in order to adapt to the general huge magic output of wizards in this world, the alchemy matrix of each part of these alchemy equipment is also the same as the spiritual power model of this world, which is mainly stable, supplemented by function, and does not need too much spiritual power to drive, but must withstand the impact of huge magic power.

Although this will make many complex alchemy items have too many simple functional parts and are too bloated, for the wizards of this world, they would rather make more sacrifices in the precision of the alchemy matrix than get a powerful magic guide that can only be used once or twice.

Mu Yan walked through a globe-like alchemy device, the blue light flowed in the dark golden shallow channel, and there were three rings from large to small around the sphere, slowly staggered and flipped, every time it turned, the blue light would converge into a blue point of light somewhere, and then the next circle swept and turned into a streamer, scattering in all directions, waiting for the end, converging in the next place.

This was alchemy equipment that Mu Yan had never seen before, but judging from the violent magic fluctuations coming from above, it was at least much more powerful than his box!

Mu Yan swallowed his saliva, not to mention taking out all the things in this room, even if you take one or two pieces out, you can exchange them for 10,000 gold gallons!

But this was obviously impossible, as one of the world's greatest white wizards, Mu Yan didn't believe anyone could steal anything from Dumbledore's office.

He silently followed Hermione and continued to walk forward.

Soon, the two walked to a more spacious space.

The large desk was in the center, and a flaming phoenix stood gracefully on the stand on one side of the table, pecking at its own feathers, and below it was a metal plate, already filled with ashes.

Behind them, a white-haired wizard in a sumptuous dark green robe stood with his back to them.

On either side of the table, Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Mu Yan and Hermione come in, Flitwick winked at Mu Yan.

Mu Yan glanced at Professor McGonagall, who was also standing on the side, silent, thought thoughtfully, lowered her head and walked behind Flitwick obediently.

As if the sound of footsteps had awakened the thinking figure, Dumbledore turned, his blue eyes sweeping over Mu Yan and Hermione.

As if swept by a lightning bolt, a suffocating sense of oppression struck, Mu Yan suddenly stopped breathing, his whole body tensed, and the cold hairs on his whole body stood up unconsciously.

He remembered the first time he had seen Dumbledore, in that old station, with the vastness of magic, the despair as deep as the sea......

Now, that feeling is even clearer!

A drop of cold sweat ran down his forehead.

But on the other side, Hermione, who was also swept by the gaze, didn't seem to feel anything, and Dumbledore looked over, and she looked at him curiously......

This is the disadvantage of being too good in mental power, and the keen perception made Mu Yan feel Dumbledore's strength very clearly, but Hermione did not feel it at all.

Fortunately, Dumbledore only glanced at it casually, and then looked away.

"Mr. Mu Yan and Miss Hermione, first of all, welcome to my office." Dumbledore's voice was still old and gentle.

Mu Yan and Hermione both looked up at him, but Mu Yan didn't dare to stare directly into his eyes, moved his gaze down slightly, and stopped at his flowing white beard.

"I'm calling you today, because I have good news for you!" Dumbledore sat down in the chair behind the table, his fingertips together, and said slowly.

"As two of the best students in Year 2...... I'm going to give you a special reward! ”

Both of them had eyes lit up, Hermione was pure excitement about the word reward, and Mu Yan had a look of sudden realization.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the thing......

Mu Yan subconsciously clenched his fists.

Until now, the thing that could make him so emotionally fluctuating, this is still the first!

Dumbledore looked at the two little ones with a look of anticipation in their eyes, and then held out a finger.

"But......" his voice made both of them stunned for a moment, "it's a pity that I can only give this award to one of you!" ”

Neither of them was stupid, and they instantly understood what it meant.

Is this about competing for rewards?

After exchanging glances with Hermione, Mu Yan saw a fearless battle intent in Hermione's eyes.

This little witch is like this, even if she knows how big the gap between herself and Mu Yan is, she still won't choose to give up when faced with this situation.

Just like when she was in the first grade, she was the only one who had the courage to follow Mu Yan in class to the end, no matter how badly she lost, she would never give up!

"In fact, it should be the professors' business to determine who will be rewarded!" Dumbledore continued.

"But, as you can see, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick are at odds over who to award the prize."

"Judging from the results of the vote, Professor Snape supports Professor McGonagall's nomination of Miss Hermione, and Professor Sprout supports Professor Flitwick's nomination of Mr. Mu Yan, and the two sides have been tied 2-2 so far."

"Nothing for a while......"

"So I'm proposing to have the two of you come over and decide for yelves, who deserves this reward!"

Dumbledore didn't pause, and explained what was going on in one breath.

Hermione was a little surprised, she didn't expect to ignore her existence in class at all, make things difficult for her in her homework, and Professor Snape, who had a very bad impression of her, would actually vote for her!

Could he be the kind of cold-faced and enthusiastic person that Mu Yan said?

If Mu Yan knew what she was thinking, she would definitely disdain to hehe.

He voted for you not because he was enthusiastic, but because he had a worse impression of me!

Just kidding, not to mention pulling Slytherin down from the House Cup championship, he targeted Slytherin students everywhere at the rally, and the first time Snape made a direct attack "regardless of discipline", it is strange that he can make a good impression.

But Mu Yan didn't care about this, he was never afraid of Snape giving him small shoes to wear, although Snape had tried his best to pick bones in experiments and homework, but under Mu Yan's deliberate attention, he still couldn't find too many opportunities to find fault.

Mu Yan's gaze gradually calmed down.

With this level playing field witnessed by the two professors, he didn't think Hermione had any chances.

On the one hand, the gap between him and Hermione is too big, and this gap cannot be bridged by courage and intelligence alone.

On the other hand, after a long time together, he already knew Hermione no better, and he knew this little girl's personality, temperament, and knowledge level completely clear. It is said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, in this case, as long as there is no too unexpected situation, Hermione's defeat is already a sure thing.

However, what I am afraid of is what an accident will happen......

"Before that...... though," Dumbledore gave the two of them two or three minutes to think before speaking again.

"I think you need to pass my test first to prove that you are worthy of this reward!"

Dumbledore's smile was still gentle, but Mu Yan always felt that he was smiling a little ill-intentioned.

"Will you be put to my test?"

Both nodded.

"Very good, very good!" Dumbledore reached into his arms and fumbled for a moment, then pulled out a lead-gray key.

"Mr. Mu Yan, please do me a small favor, can you help me open that wardrobe over there?"

Mu Yan answered, took the key, and without hesitation, turned around and walked to the large wardrobe opposite the desk.

The large European-style wardrobe has a heavy lock hanging on it, which passes through the handles on both sides of the wardrobe and locks the entire wardrobe firmly, as if to indicate that there is something in the wardrobe that cannot be released!

Mu Yan approached, there was no nervousness on his face, and he naturally inserted the key into the lock hole and twisted it slightly, just like using the key to open his own door.

Smack!

The big lock fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Mu Yan did not open the door of the wardrobe directly, but cautiously took two steps back and stood still, staring at the wardrobe.

As soon as he received the key, he knew that the test had begun!

Although he did the series of actions just now was very natural, he had already taken precautions in his heart.

The wand appeared in his hand, and, apparently, he was ready for battle.

- Squeak!

The door to the wardrobe slowly opens!
