Chapter 42 Conversation in the Principal's Office
Chapter 42 Conversation in the Principal's Office
......
Seeing that Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape's wands had been broken, the other teachers at Hogwarts also stood up and took out their wands.
Sensing the hostility, Goku also began to get serious, and his inner energy slowly gathered in his hands.
"Alright, everyone stop!"
At this moment, Dumbledore, who had been sitting there without moving, finally stood up.
His voice was amplified by a sound-amplifying spell and imbued with a calming magic, which naturally relaxed Goku and the professors' tense hearts.
The professors instinctively put away their wands, and Goku also dissipated the energy he had just gathered.
"Mr. Goku, I accept your challenge to a duel, but could we talk before we fight?"
Dumbledore's tone was gentle, and his smile was full of goodwill.
He didn't intervene at first because he thought Snape could handle it; he knew Snape's strength.
But when Goku nearly defeated Snape and blew up the roof of the Great Hall, he realized something was wrong.
Goku's strength was far greater than Rufus had described, and what destroyed the Great Hall and broke the wand wasn't magic.
It was a power he had never seen before.
This power was so strong that he was stunned for a while before he could react.
Therefore, he felt that Goku's origins were not as simple as Rufus had described.
So, before the conflict escalated, he interrupted the fight and decided to have a good talk with Goku.
Find out Goku's origins and the power he possesses.
He wasn't the kind of wizard who worshipped power; he preferred sitting in his office knitting sweaters and drinking mead to magic.
But the wizarding world is not peaceful; Voldemort is lurking in the shadows, and peace could be shattered at any moment.
Therefore, he was very interested in this new power.
They were also very interested in Goku, a young boy with great potential who could fight the two professors to a standstill.
Upon hearing this, Little Wukong immediately nodded excitedly:
"sure!"
Regarding duels, if Dumbledore does not agree, he will not force him, much less take action.
This is the kind of virtue a martial artist should possess.
He only retaliated because he was ambushed, and he never used his full strength, holding back at every turn.
"Minerva, you will preside over the upcoming Sorting Ceremony in my place."
Seeing that Goku agreed, Dumbledore said a few words to Professor McGonagall, then stepped forward and led Goku away from the Great Hall toward the Headmaster's office.
Only then did all the young wizards present slowly close Zhang's mouth, finally coming to their senses from the battle.
In fact, the entire battle, from start to finish, lasted less than two minutes.
Throughout the process, the young wizards were nothing but shocked, so shocked that they didn't even have time to utter a sound; their mouths remained agape.
"Merlin's beard, is he really a wizard for a year?"
"He actually defeated Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape in a one-on-two battle!"
"Perhaps he really can challenge Dumbledore."
"Look at the roof! What kind of terrible curse is that that could destroy the entire roof!"
The young wizards, realizing what had happened, immediately became excited, and the entire hall was filled with their incredulous discussions.
"Quiet!"
Professor McGonagall stepped forward and used her wandless spellcasting technique to cast an amplification spell, silencing all the young wizards' discussions.
Her wand was broken by Goku, and now she can only use wandless spellcasting techniques to cast magic.
Fortunately, given her skill level, as long as the magic isn't too complex or advanced, casting spells without a wand isn't a big problem.
"Felius, could you please restore the roof?"
Turning her head to Dean Flitwick, who was only a meter tall, she whispered something to him, then looked at the young wizards below and said seriously:
"The Sorting Ceremony is now beginning. Whoever I call your name, come up here..."
Professor Flitwick waved his wand and used a powerful restoration spell to restore the damaged roof of the Great Hall to its original state.
Professor McGonagall took out the Sorting Hat and sorted the first-year wizards into their respective houses.
On the other side, Goku followed Dumbledore to the stairwell and walked up the wooden stairs to the principal's office on the eighth floor.
"Good evening!"
The portraits in the frames on the stairwell wall greeted Dumbledore and Goku in a very gentlemanly and ladylike manner.
Little Wukong would always return them very politely.
Seeing this, Dumbledore couldn't help but nod.
Portraits that look like living people, stairs that move on their own, and stone beasts that guard the gate with dripping water—these are things that ordinary people, or even newly enrolled young wizards, would find strange.
These are all very magical and surprising things.
But it didn't matter to little Goku.
Lacking common sense, he felt that these things were no different from the televisions, cars, airplanes, robots, and other things he had seen when he left Baozi Mountain.
These were all things he didn't understand, yet they had a reason for existing.
The key point is that he has no interest in any of these things. He is only interested in delicious food that can fill his stomach and opponents that can fight to improve his cultivation.
"What do we want to talk about?"
Little Goku sat opposite Dumbledore, blinking his big eyes as he asked.
Dumbledore smiled:
"No rush, are you hungry? Let's eat something and then we can talk."
He tapped his fingers on the table, and immediately the table was filled with all sorts of food.
Roast beef, roast chicken, fried pork chops, sausages, steak, boiled potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding...
Upon seeing this, Little Wukong's eyes immediately lit up. He hadn't eaten enough at noon, and now he was very hungry.
Having just fought, I was only able to exert half of my fighting strength because I was hungry.
"Thank you, I'm starting!"
With his hands clasped together in gratitude, Little Goku immediately began to devour the food in front of him at lightning speed.
"What an innocent child."
Dumbledore picked up a glass of honey beer, took a sip, and looked at Goku, who was eating with great relish, and sighed inwardly.
Rufus misjudged Goku's strength, but his assessment of Goku's personality was quite accurate.
From the beginning until now, based on his observations, he can confirm that Little Goku's personality is very simple.
He really liked this kind of child because, if guided properly, such children would grow up to be good wizards who uphold justice and become the backbone of the wizarding world.
That is why he did not secretly use Legilimency to read his memories, but instead planned to learn more through conversation.
"You can eat so much!"
Before he had even finished half a glass of honey beer, he discovered that Little Wukong had already devoured all the food on the table, and seemed quite unsatisfied.
"Are you full?"
"no."
Little Wukong answered very honestly.
Dumbledore tapped the table again, and the table was once again covered with food.
Hogwarts has many house-elves who are very skilled at cooking with magic, so meals are served very quickly.
