[Hogwarts] Ch 39: The Three-headed dog

— — — — — — 

Facing Hermione's question, Tom answered with absolute confidence, "Obviously I'm out for a nighttime stroll—just like you lot."

Hermione almost choked. How could he say something that blatantly breaks the rules with such a straight face?

But there wasn't time to argue—someone was chasing them...

[Hogwarts] Ch 38: Midnight Duel

— — — — — — 

Ron had accepted Malfoy's duel challenge on Harry's behalf—and what's more, he even volunteered to be Harry's second.

The entire time, Harry looked completely confused, like he had no idea how he'd ended up in a duel in the first place.

Once Malfoy had left, Harry finally asked, "Okay, seriously—what even is a wizard duel? Why...

[Hogwarts] Ch 37: Breaking the Rules Isn’t the Problem—Losing Is.

— — — — — — 

Before class even officially started, the school was already down one fairly decent broomstick—and Madam Hooch was heartbroken over it.

Still, she couldn't really blame Tom. It was a reflex, plain and simple. All she could do was tell him to go grab another broom and be more careful next time, then get back in...

[Hogwarts] Ch 36: The Flying Class

— — — — — — 

A new week began.

On Monday morning, Daphne finally received the package she'd been anxiously waiting for.

Or rather, packages—two of them.

Not only had her mother sent her some money, but her little sister, Astoria, had also secretly mailed over her personal savings after finding out that Daphne w...

— — — — — — 

Three minutes later, the Turbo mode faded. Tom collapsed flat on his back, gasping for breath.

But the results? Absolutely worth it.

Sure, his spell power dropped toward the end due to magical exhaustion, but his control had improved drastically. He only accidentally hit two training dummies this time—ev...

[Hogwarts] Ch 34: Embodied Learning

— — — — — — 

[Host has discovered the Room of Requirement.]

[50 Achievement Points awarded.]

"Fifty points?" Tom raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised.

Normally, when he wandered into other classrooms at night, he'd only get two points at most. The Trophy Room gave a bit more—...

[Hogwarts] Ch 33: The Room of Requirement

— — — — — — 

The sun was already setting, and the air had cooled by the time the girl finally stirred from her nap.

A light breeze brushed against her face as Daphne slowly woke, memories of what had happened earlier quickly returning.

When she glanced at the obvious wet patch on Tom's robes, her cheeks turned as red a...

[Hogwarts] Ch 32: Rubeus Hagrid

— — — — — — — 

After lunch, Harry and Ron headed to Hagrid's hut, just like they'd planned.

The half-giant greeted them warmly—with scalding hot tea and rock-hard pies that could probably dent a cauldron.

"Another Weasley?"

Hagrid groaned the moment he saw Ron's unmistakable red hair. "I've barely gotten...

[Hogwarts] Ch 31: Cure for Boils

— — — — — — 

Snape once again felt like he'd been hit by a truck.

Honestly, he only had himself to blame—why did he even bother provoking Riddle, that infuriatingly unpredictable student?

Now he was so rattled he couldn't even keep his usual cold, composed front.

Not that he'd ever admit he was wrong. He was th...

[Crossover] Ch 80: Relaxing

— — — — — — 

Staring at the coin wedged perfectly and hearing Kanao's innocent little comment, both Shinobu and Kanae exchanged awkward glances.

What just happened?

With a strange expression, Shinobu muttered, "Hey… Kanae, isn't tossing a coin at a shrine supposed to be some kind of fortune-telling?"

"Ah—yeah...

[Crossover] Ch 79: Heads for Kanae, Tails for Shinobu

— — — — — —

About ten minutes had passed when Ryo Yagami, standing by the back door of the Butterfly House, twitched his ears slightly and turned toward the door.

Just then, Kanae Kocho stepped out, dressed in a soft pink kimono embroidered with delicate floral patterns. She was holding a folded men's kimono in her arms.

"Mr. Ryo, if you're going t...

[Crossover] Ch 78: The Festival

— — — — — — 

In the alley where the Butterfly Mansion stood.

Under the influence of Nakime's Blood Demon Art, Ryo and Kanae reappeared at the entrance to the alley.

As soon as they did, Ryo let go of Kanae's waist and looked at her pale face with a hint of concern.

"You okay?"

"Just give me...

[Crossover] Ch 77: Gathering All Demons

— — — — — — 

After finishing his orders, Ryo gently patted Kanae on the back, calming her unease.

Then, with a cold, detached expression, he said:

"In a bit, you all will report your abilities to Nakime. I'll be assigning tasks accordingly. In seven days, we'll take Edo."

Seven days. With Nakime's spatial manipul...

The next morning – hotel restaurant.

"Mom, aren't you eating breakfast?"

Saya Takagi glanced curiously at her mother, Yuriko, who sat empty-handed while she herself was juggling a sandwich in one hand and a carton of milk in the other.

"Uh... I already ate before you guys got up."

Yuriko's expression...

[C.G] Ch 137: Night Attack

— — — — — — 

"Mr. Veyron, is the 'cleansing' of the outer zones finally complete?"

It was nighttime. The beach was brightly lit by the bonfire, where a small celebration was underway. Yuriko Takagi raised a glass of red wine—something that could've sold for five figures before the undead crisis—and asked Veyron her quest...

[RNZO] Ch 282: The Renzos' Situation

— — — — — — 

"Even without that, it wasn't like you were wasting time, right?"

Eevee laughed cheerfully, "Come on, your shadow clones haven't exactly been slacking off these past few years!"

"Senju Jerry and Uchiha Tom! Seriously, your clones really know how to mess around!"

"Plus, you've already cracked and crea...

— — — — — — 

"That's the blue Pikachu with the Sharingan! So cool!"

Sasuke's eyes lit up the moment he saw Uchiha Tom.

Of course, he recognized that Pikachu.

Alongside Senju Jerry, they were practically legends in Konoha—and honestly, all across the shinobi world.

Back in the day, more than a few villages...

[Hogwarts] Ch 30: HE'S DOING IT AGAIN!

— — — — — — 

Snape continued taking roll.

Eventually, he reached Tom's name—and shot him a look that could have frozen boiling water. His eyes were dark and unreadable. Tom, ever the gentleman, simply smiled politely at the man funding his education.

Snape gave a soft, disdainful snort and snapped the attendance b...

[Hogwarts] Ch 29: Potions Class

— — — — — — 

Getting caught sneaking food is always awkward—unless you run into someone doing the same thing. Then, it feels like you've found a kindred spirit.

That was exactly the case with Tom and the two people who showed up afterward.

After a brief moment of surprise, the two identical faces broke into matching ...

[Hogwarts] Ch 28: Stages of Spell Mastery

— — — — — — 

There's an old saying at Hogwarts: Your school life isn't complete until you've gone on a nighttime adventure.

Officially, the school has plenty of rules to keep students in line. But any upper-year student will tell you—Not breaking the rules, that's not the problem. It's getting caught.

Tom wa...

[Hogwarts] Ch 27: First Night Stroll

— — — — — —

The next day, Tom's efforts at "discipline" were already paying off.

His roommates still woke up earlier than him—but this time, they stayed completely silent, careful not to disturb him in the slightest.

After breakfast, the Slytherins headed to Charms class with the Ravenclaws.

Professor Flitwick was p...

[Hogwarts] Ch 26: Emotional Damages

— — — — —— 

The dorm was filled with wails and groans as Zabini and the others received their "daily blessings."

Though their eyes were wet with tears, there was a certain clarity in their expressions now. Each of them had become noticeably more obedient.

They thought it was finally over.

Little did they know—it was...

[Hogwarts] Ch 25: Physical Strength

— — — — — — 

For the first time, Tom felt like he couldn't keep up with Andros's train of thought.

Hadn't they already moved on from that whole mess? Why did it feel like this self-proclaimed man of justice had a worse temper than him—out for revenge even when he hadn't lost anything?

Seeing Tom's confused face, Andr...

[Hogwarts] Ch 24: Andros: Let’s Rob Snape!

— — — — — — 

Before this school year began, Slytherin had already pulled off six consecutive wins. One more, and they'd make Hogwarts history with a seventh.

And with Harry Potter now in Gryffindor, Snape was more determined than ever to win the House Cup. No way was he going to lose to James Potter's son—even if the boy w...

[Hogwarts] Ch 23: Stabbing Snape Where It Hurts Most

— — — — — — 

Snape summoning him to his office didn't faze Tom in the slightest. He finished lunch, went back to his dorm for a power nap, and only then made his way to the greenhouses for Herbology.

Professor Sprout, who taught the class, was a plump and cheerful-looking witch, always smiling and clearly very kind. She call...

[Hogwarts] Ch 22: Study Space's Virtual Library

— — — — — — 

Professor McGonagall had no idea that Tom was already scheming to steal the House Cup right out from under her nose.

She only praised him, reminded him not to slack off, then went on to check on the rest of the students.

Still, something about the situation was bothering her.

Logically, she knew this Tom Riddle was just a ki...

"Transfiguration is a highly advanced and incredibly dangerous branch of magic. That said, it's also something you'll be using a lot in the future."

Professor McGonagall didn't waste time easing them in—she went straight for the intimidation play.

Her tone was sharp, and her gaze was enough to make the whole class sit up straigh...

[Crossover] Ch 76: No need for the Blue Spider Lily Anymore

— — — — — — 

"When you say 'Hashira'… you mean her?"

The Kizuki demon froze, his eyes flicking toward Kanae Kocho in her Demon Slayer uniform. His voice stuttered in disbelief.

"Sh-she's a Hashira?"

A member of the Demon Slayer Corps standing next to Muzan was already weird enough. 

But a Ha...

[Crossover] Ch 75: Summoning the Twelve Kizuki

— — — — — — 

The soft strumming of a biwa echoed through the air.

One by one, shadowy figures appeared throughout the endless corridors of the Infinite Castle.

Then—clang!—a clear, metallic note rang out.

Eleven figures now stood on a raised platform.

Just ahead of them, at the...

[Crossover] Ch 74: Coward To the Bone

— — — — — — 

Fear.

Kibutsuji Muzan was absolutely consumed by it.

Another man had appeared—one that he couldn't handle. The last time he felt this kind of helplessness was five hundred years ago, when the strongest man in history, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, nearly ended him.

But this time… it felt even worse.

From what Muzan...
