Chapter 175 : Grand Wizard
January slipped by almost unnoticed.
Classes resumed their usual rhythm, homework piled up once again, and before anyone realized it, the middle of the month had arrived.
Inside the Slytherin boys' dormitory, Victor sat cross-legged on his bed. With a thought, the familiar translucent blue screen materialized before him.

Victor stared at the screen for several long seconds.
"...I honestly don't even know what level I'm supposed to be anymore."
The ranks meant very little now. His magic had grown so much that there was hardly anyone left to compare himself against.
If Albus Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort represented the pinnacle of modern magical power, then his own reserves had reached that same level.
Whether he could defeat either of them in a duel was another matter entirely — experience, creativity, and decades of combat still counted for far more than raw power alone.
He closed the screen with a sigh. "One thing's certain."
"As the Third Task gets closer... I'm actually starting to feel nervous," Victor muttered.
This time was different. In his first year he had only faced a weakened projection of Voldemort attached to Quirrell.
Now he would be standing before the true Dark Lord himself, restored to his full body.
Even with everything he had gained from the System, Victor knew better than to underestimate the most feared dark wizard in history.
The familiar blue screen appeared before him.
[You are not arrogant enough to face Voldemort without fear. Your Fortune has increased.]
Victor blinked. "Huh?"
[Fortune Triggered.]
[Reward Obtained: The Elder Wand (Alternate Universe)]
"...The Elder Wand?"
He stared at the message in disbelief. He hadn't expected his Fortune to trigger, let alone reward him with one of the three Deathly Hallows.
The space in front of him rippled. A beautifully crafted elder wand slowly materialized before dropping into his waiting hand.
Victor looked down at it.
The most powerful wand in existence had simply fallen into his hands.
"Well... looks like even the System is encouraging me."
His eyes shifted immediately to the final line on his status screen.
[Ability Assimilation: 1 Use Remaining]
Without hesitation, he activated it. A stream of silver light flowed from his palm, enveloping the Elder Wand. The legendary wand dissolved into countless particles of golden light before surging directly into his chest.
Victor closed his eyes.
An immense wave of warmth spread throughout his body, reaching every corner of his magical core. His heartbeat quickened as his magic seemed to come alive.
He slowly opened his eyes. For an instant, brilliant golden light shone from his pupils before gradually fading.
"This feels... incredible."
[Magic Heart has assimilated the core of the Elder Wand.]
[Evolution Complete.]
[Unique Trait Evolved: Dragon Spirit Heart (Epic)]
[Effects: Magical power greatly increased. Magical recovery greatly accelerated. Spellcasting efficiency dramatically enhanced. Magic can now be manipulated almost instinctively. Greatly increased affinity with all forms of magic.]
Victor slowly clenched his fist. He could feel magic coursing through every part of his body more smoothly than ever before. Casting even the simplest spell now felt as natural as breathing.
"Now this feels good."
He read the trait's description once more. "Dragons are the masters of magic..." Victor shook his head with a faint smile. "That definitely isn't talking about the dragons of this world."
The dragons native to the Wizarding World were powerful magical creatures, but little more than gigantic beasts that relied on instinct.
Whatever dragons the System was referring to had to be from another universe entirely — true dragons whose very existence embodied magic itself.
