"Before you celebrate your victory, though, I have a little question......

Elena gently hugged Hannah, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in the girl's ear.

"When did you start to get the illusion that I had lifted the magic of binary rewinding architecture?"

"What......"

Before Hannah Abbott could react, Elena's body quickly faded into a marble humanoid sculpture with white flowers, like a quagmire, enveloping her whole person, leaving only one head exposed.

The marble sculpture that surrounded Luna snapped together, forming a semicircular stone bowl that held her in place.

On the other side, Hermione, who was about to release the spell, suddenly felt someone behind her gently tap her shoulder, and a vivid white chess queen drew her sword expressionlessly and put it on her shoulder unhurriedly.

On the empty bronze throne, Elena's figure reappeared above, her right hand on her cheek, quietly looking down at the three little witches below whose faces had changed suddenly, as if they had never moved.

On the armrest of the bronze throne, the hourglass that should have shattered on the ground was still dropping the last handfuls of gravel.

Elena narrowed her eyes, lowered the fingers of her left hand as if she were pinching a chess piece, and whispered.

“Check Mate!”

"Damn, just a little bit, just a little bit ......"

Hannah muttered like a popped balloon.

Even though she has a powerful strange power, she can't complete the power at all wrapped in soft marble, and the whole person seems to be restrained by a sticky quagmire, and all the strength is dissipated imperceptibly in the struggle.

"It's not fair!

Hermione Granger had the same look of disgrief on her face.

The feeling of failure was so bad that they managed to get within three meters of Elena with the help of Luna's illusion magic, intending to rely on Hannah as a killer to kill the ball with one blow.

According to Hermione's reasoning, Elena should not be able to use their magical abilities during this level.

Unless she actively violates the rules she has set down, it is impossible for Elena to complete the counter-kill in this situation as a weakened version of the "weak body", "unable to apparition", and "limited number of spells available".

"In a sense, it's really only a little bit ......"

Elena shrugged her shoulders and gestured her index finger and thumb in the air slightly, revealing a wicked smile.

"Roughly, it's pretty much the entire battle process of the seventh level - as for the violations, it's really not there, and I have to tell you that there may be some insignificant holes in your reasoning. ”

Hermione felt her heart sink suddenly.

That's right, Luna, it's Luna!

In the previous levels, Luna had not performed the "Binary Rewinding Restructuring Magic", and if the opening and closing of a spell were to be regarded as the same act, then Elena's first snap of her fingers was a spell casting prompt.

Hermione turned her face and snorted a little stubbornly.

"Hmph, if you hadn't replaced the hourglass time with an illusion to lure us out......"

"Well, this is the second mistake you have made, not carefully examining the question. ”

Elena smiled slightly, looked at the hard-mouthed "Calculation Ji" rather playfully, and continued.

"Remember what I said before, it's a fair three-vs three-to-three, and even if you're going to keep it hidden until the end of time, you'll have to hide yourself first...... Look up above you. ”

Up, up?!

Hermione's face changed, and she looked up sharply, only to see an owl the size of a fist hovering silently in the sky, and its flight trajectory was exactly a triangle with her, Hannah, and Luna as the base coordinates.

"Reserve grain, back!"

Elena raised her arm slightly, and the long-silent reserve let out a smug chirp and landed next to the girl.

Goo-goo-ha-

"The round-faced fat chicken is a very amazing bird, their dark vision and dynamic vision are more than 100 times that of normal humans, and the average bird wants to achieve its visual acuity unless the whole brain is made up of optic nerves. What's even more amazing is that they use their sense of hearing to pinpoint the sound source when hunting, and as long as the time difference between the sound waves and the left and right ears is greater than 25 microseconds, they can lock on to the location of the sound source......"

Elena touched her little head and looked at Hermione with a smirk.

"In other words, from the very beginning, your position is under its control, and unless you are perfectly silenced and impeccable in the effects of light and shadow, the rough graininess and the sound of breathing will reveal your whereabouts. ”

After a slight pause, Elena glanced at the little milk dog lying at her feet and added.

"Oh, by the way, and the smell needs to be eliminated - don't forget, there's also a little lo-mei ......"

"Well, that is to say......"

Hermione took a deep breath and bit her lip hard, shivering a little.

"You've been playing tricks on us all along? Why would you have done this if it could have ended sooner? Do you think this is fun? Just to prove how powerful your magic is? What do you think of us?!"

There was a silence that pressed on the eardrums.

Hannah subconsciously turned her head and looked at Elena with Hermione.

"Don't let emotions get in the way of your normal logical abilities, Granger," Elena replied calmly, "it's just an assessment, it's never changed. As you've seen before, these are all pre-set plot scenarios and challenge difficulties, whether it's lines, actions, or attacks, all of them have been reviewed by the professors......"

Elena paused suddenly, and a strange look of nostalgia flashed in her eyes—Aunt Himeko......

No matter how much she reminisced about her past hobbies, in this lonely world, these memories were still dissipating and blurring little by little, and she was about to forget the order of Bunonia's skill combos in the abyss mode of the game.

"As for the meaning, it's simple......"

Elena came to her senses and snapped her fingers lightly, and the stone statues that bound the three little witches disintegrated little by little.

"Only by pushing the plot as much as possible and showing what you have learned will you get a better score for clearing the dungeon. Congratulations, you have successfully cleared all the levels of the 'Test of Dark Magic', and the rest will be handed over to you. ”

"Eh, what's the score?"

"What do you mean?"

The three little witches, with confused faces, frowned, looked at each other, and were about to question Elena.

At this moment, as Elena's voice fell, a crackling sound suddenly sounded in the empty room.

The girls subconsciously looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw Dumbledore's smiling face gradually emerging from the edge of Elena's bronze throne, and behind him was Professor Otto Apocalis, who was still clapping softly.

If nothing else, the two of them should have been watching it for a long time.

"Good evening, girls. ”

Dumbledore said with a smile, looking around the mess with emotion.

"I have to admit that this is probably the most wonderful magical confrontation I've seen at Hogwarts in all these years. Congratulations on passing all the exams, and it means that you are ahead of all the professors of your age. ”

Whether it is Elena's large-scale control of Transfiguration, or the use of illusion magic, powerful explosion spells, and ancient magic scripts displayed by Hermione, Luna, and Hannah in the confrontation, all make the old wizard have a refreshing feeling - there has not been such a fresh fire in the wizarding world for a long time, and Elena's proposed education reform pilot has achieved the expected effect.

"Dumbledore...... Professor?"

Hannah stared blankly at Dumbledore for a few seconds, wandering back and forth between Elena and the old wizard, and then boldly walked up to Dumbledore, and with some curiosity, stretched out her finger and poked the old man's arm lightly.

Immediately, Tie Hanhan's fingers were quickly retracted as if they were electrocuted - this doesn't seem to be fake?!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Professor, I'm just ......"

"Don't be excited, dear child, I understand your concerns right now. ”

Dumbledore glanced at the smiling little silver-haired witch not far away, shook his head with a wry smile, and said gently.

"But don't worry, I assure you that the person who appears before you now is the real Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. If you're still a little worried, I'd like to—"

After a slight pause, Dumbledore said with a smile.

"In view of the wonderful performances of Miss Granger, Miss Abbot, and Miss Lovegood, you have each earned thirty points for your house...... Miss Lovegood, your bonus points will be added to the hourglass of the house to which you are assigned after you have officially entered the school. ”

Looking at Dumbledore suspiciously, Hermione quietly touched the "Dice Lady" beside her.

"Luna, it's not fake this time, is it?"

"I don't think so, and the 'Binary Regression Restructuring Magic' can't create entities out of thin air, at least Elena can't do that for the time being, judging by Hannah's reaction, this time it should really be Professor Dumbledore. ”

Luna replied quietly, no wonder she had been vaguely sensing someone watching from the side.

"Ha, Albus, it looks like Hogwarts needs to add some teaching to Defence Against the Dark Arts next year. ”

Looking at the two little witches who were muttering, Grindelwald grinned.

"Miss Granger, illusion magic was once extremely popular, and many lame wizards relied on this skill to trade for living goods in the non-magical world—and of course, there were many unlucky people who were caught after failure. ”

"However, I didn't see it in the textbook......"

"Of course, after all, this is not a glorious magic skill, but the difficulty is not low. ”

Grindelwald shrugged noncommittally and replied pointedly.

"Moreover, with the implementation of the law of secrecy, the usefulness of this magic has plummeted, after all, most people are unable to create a large-scale, multi-angle illusion like Miss Caslana, and at best it can only be regarded as a scaring prank magic, and the method of dealing with it is gradually lost—like most of the magic that gradually disappears. ”

Glancing at Elena, and the curiosity in the eyes of several young witches, Grindelwald smiled slightly.

"And I happen to know a little bit of how to crack it, and if you want to learn it, I can teach you...... However, there is a small request, a request rather than an order, I hope that you will keep the assessment content of the sixth and seventh levels confidential for the time being, and I will give you a decent standard information later, so as to ensure the teaching effect of the subsequent assessment. ”

"Of course, if you are embarrassed, you can also blame us for the reason, just say that Professor Dumbledore wants secrecy. ”
