The Rise of Malfoy at Hogwarts

v4 Chapter 17: Akabane Hizuki

   Saying goodbye to Zhang Hao and Qiu, Xie Lin continued to wander around the Asian camp.

   He saw some Persian wizards with turbans on their heads, which reminded him of Professor Quirrell in the first grade.

   Then, he also saw some wizards from South Asia and India. They were cooking curry. The curry flavored with many magic spices was very rich, and Schelling could smell the fragrance from a distance.

   Schelling finally came to Japan’s exclusive camp.

   He saw a large group of teenagers gather together, making a Muggle fire to prepare food. The boys among them all wore spotless, crisp suits, ties, and black leather shoes. The girls wore light-colored long dresses and casual high-heeled sandals on their feet.

   Their dress meticulously abides by the Muggle dressing rules. From the outside, it is completely invisible to be a wizard. However, wearing such formal clothes and doing activities similar to wild outings and camping in such suburbs gave Xie Lin a weird feeling involuntarily.

   Schelling recognized the school badge of the Mahotokuro Magic School on the tent. The management of this magic school is very strict, as can be seen from the strict compliance of this group of young students with international secrecy laws.

   It is said that their uniforms are magical. It can change size with the age of students, and change color with the increase of learning.

   At the beginning, this school gown was light pink. If students get the best grades in all magic subjects, then it will turn golden. If the robe turns white, it means that the student has violated the Japanese wizarding guidelines or has illegal behavior. This is a terrible shame. Not only will he be expelled from the school, he will also be tried by the Japanese Ministry of Magic.

The arrival of    Schelling has attracted the attention of many people. After all, the wizards in Asia are almost all black-haired and black-eyed, and the appearance of a blond teenager is undoubtedly very eye-catching.

   A tall Japanese girl came over. Her appearance was somewhat similar to the female celebrity he had accidentally seen in the magazine before he crossed. She seemed to be called Shinheng Yui. The clothes on her body exudes a faint pure golden brilliance, which looks a little different among the little wizards.

   She spoke first: "Are you...Mr. Malfoy?" To Schelling's surprise, her English is very fluent!

   "Yes, hello, Miss Akabane." The person who came was Akabane Sakurayuki, a pen pal Xie Linda had been acquainted with since he was nine years old.

  Since making friends through letters, no matter how busy Schelling is, he will make time to keep in contact with this pen pal every weekend. The two exchanged photos of each other on the day Xie Lin was eleven when he was enrolled in school, so although it is not immediately certain, it is still enough to recognize each other.

   What surprised Xie Lin more was her English. She didn't have the heavy accent that the Japanese spoke in English in her previous life. Instead, she spoke very authentically, almost like a native Englishman. Although they mostly communicated in English in their letters, writing and speaking are completely different things.

   When the two pen pals met for the first time, they were both excited and a little embarrassed. Xie Lin knew some simple Japanese. Fortunately, Akabane Sakurayuki was fluent in English, so the two could talk smoothly. It turns out that Yingyue has always been longing for the British magic world. She plans to find a job in the UK after graduation, so she will learn English specially and make British pen pals in advance.

   Xie Lin took a sip of fragrant green tea and asked casually: "Yingyue (the two have begun to be known by their names), do you like Quidditch too?"

Yingyue spit out her tongue, showing a playful expression, "Don't tell me, I don't like Quidditch at all... But since I was a child I have been looking forward to coming to the UK, so when the school organized this I was the first to sign up for a tour to the UK."

   Schelling was a little curious and couldn't help asking: "To be honest, I have asked you a few times, but you have never answered it. What is so good about the UK that can attract you so much?"

Yingyue’s eyes flashed sadly, "Do you know? In the wizarding world of Japan, women’s status is still not high today. Even if I work hard and get good grades, once I graduate, there are not many departments. For those who are willing to hire me, I can only end up marrying a man, and from then on living the life of a husband and a child, a housewife..."

   Her eyes showed a strange brilliance, she said: "I am not reconciled, I don't want this kind of life, so I must go abroad and decide my own destiny by myself!"

   Xie Lin's body shook slightly, he seemed to see his own shadow in Yingyue, they were all people trying to control their own destiny!

"The UK may not be as good as you think," Schelling smiled bitterly. "The major pure-blood families tightly control the economic lifeline and have a great influence on the political world. If you are an outsider and want to do things in the UK, I am afraid I have to face many difficulties..."

Yingyue smiled slyly, "Isn't that you still there! Malfoy's little master!" She immediately pretended to be a pitiful, "Would you not look at the little girl alone and stand by and stand by?" "

   Xie Lin said "Ah".

"Don't pretend, I already knew your family background, the Malfoy family, one of the most powerful families in Great Britain, you are the young master of the Malfoy family, and you are the youngest Sir Merlin in British history. It’s the youth representative of the European Wizards’ Federation in the Middle Ages. He has countless patents and investments in his hands... Okay, why didn’t you mention these to me in your letter? Humph! You didn’t treat them as friends at all. !"

   Yingyuebian opened a small cherry mouth, which seemed to Xie Lin somewhat... how to put it, Kawaii!

"Uh...If I tell you this, will it seem to be showing off?" Xie Lin scratched his itchy scalp, "Besides, do you want me to write this in the letter: Miss Akabane, actually I am rich and handsome, famous, status, property, house, car, and account deposit of 30,000 gallons..."

Yingyue was amused and laughed, "I said, you are so funny!" Then she pretended to be serious: "Actually, it's okay for you to say that. At least, does this mean you can help me? Up?"

"We have known each other for so long, and there is no problem in helping you." Schelling said, "But, let me tell you that in the next few years, the situation in the UK may be greatly turbulent, maybe you should think about it later. Come again?"

Yingyue showed a suspicious expression, "Are you lying to me? I have read every issue of the "Daily Prophet" here. You have been peaceful in the UK for decades? How come you suddenly said Of these things happen?"

   "Well, it wasn't made by those pure-blood families," Schelling sighed. "In the UK, ancestry discrimination has always been a deep-rooted problem. No one wants to change..."

   "I don't understand," Yingyue raised her doubts, "You are a direct descendant of a powerful pure-blood family, why do you seem to be very opposed to the pure-blood theory?"

Schelling's expression became very serious: "The glory of pure blood is never because of the blood we shed, but because of the contributions made by countless ancestors to the development of the wizarding world. However, if you are obsessed with one person because of this The bloodline of so many talented wizards is likely to be buried with their talents because of their origins. This is very detrimental to the development of the wizarding world-the broom is self-reliant, the brain drains, the self-sufficient... these problems may not be seen in the short term. What happened, in the long run will only stagnate the development of the wizarding world, or even regress..."

Schelling’s gaze was piercing, “I heard that both in North America and in Japan, they have already put aside their pedigree theory and have chosen meritocracy--I dare to say, in a few more years, it won’t take too long. The British wizarding world is about to lose its status as the strongest magic country. It is most likely to be surpassed by the United States, or it may be surpassed by Asian countries..."

   Yingyue's eyes showed an undisguised appreciation, and she said softly: "Do you know? The content and tone of what you just said, like a person..."

   "Oh? Who is it?" Xie Lin asked with a smile.

"In our Japanese wizarding world, there was also an era when pure blood supremacy prevailed. It was in the tenth century. The wizarding world at that time attached great importance to bloodlines~lightnovelpub.net~ to the Senju family, Uchiha The three families respected by the family and the Hyuga family rely on the magic knowledge passed down by the family to firmly control the power and resources of the wizarding world. The wizards of the ordinary class have no ability to resist..."

"This situation didn't change until a great wizard appeared. He was the greatest wizard in the history of our Japanese wizarding world. Just like your British Merlin, he is the great wizard Naruto Uzumaki. He grew up weak. The grass-roots class has become stronger all the way, keeping his promise to himself, and never giving up no matter what difficulties he faces. In the end, he succeeded. Under his reform, Mahotokuro was established and the monopoly of magic knowledge was Break, pure blood thoughts will no longer be seen."

   Yingyue's eyes gleamed, "When you just spoke, it felt like Master Uzumaki..."

   "Where, I'm all nonsense, you have passed the prize." Sherring suddenly became embarrassed.

   "Really?" Yingyue stared directly at Xie Lin, and suddenly she smiled, "The expression you just said doesn't look like a joke..."

   Yingyue took him to visit the camp, and introduced him some unique magical creatures in Japan, as well as tried Japanese barbecue snacks. Schelling tried it and found it very delicious.

   While drinking green tea and eating snacks, the two chatted and exchanged various interesting insights.

   Xie Lin unreservedly shared the invisibility magic he studied with Yingyue, which greatly inspired Yingyue, and also developed a lot of favor with the pen pal in front of him.

Time passed in such small talks. Xie Lin didn’t leave early when he saw him. Before he left, he did not forget to invite Yingyue to the UK for a holiday, and promised to entertain her well. Yingyue gave him something difficult to understand. He nodded his eyes and agreed.
