Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

This growth is reflected in the numbers as the spellbook's magic level and experience points, and the closer it gets to the maximum experience level, the slower the growth becomes.

Previously, practicing the spell 10 times would increase magic experience by 5 points, but now it will only increase by 1 point.

Unlike in games, wizards don't have a visible mana bar, but excessive spellcasting can still leave them feeling completely drained, especially mentally exhausted, requiring rest and further limiting Hermione's leveling.

Although she could upgrade smoothly if she waited a little longer, she still felt it was too slow.

Whether it's Harry Potter or Marvel, both worlds make her feel insecure, and she needs to quickly increase her power.

At least one thing Voldemort said that Hermione completely agreed with.

Magic is power.

Fortunately, the spellbook in her mind gave Hermione another way to advance quickly.

Hogwarts was unable to conduct the experiment, and after a month of preparation, she returned to the Marvel universe.

"I'm back, but where should I go..." Hermione murmured to herself as she left the alley and walked in a certain direction.

It's currently nighttime in the Marvel universe, the same time as in Harry Potter, the only difference being the date.

Although she had spent a few days here, she was not familiar with New York and had not decided where to go for the time being.

As I passed by a building, I faintly heard shouts coming from inside.

"what?"

Hermione looked up and realized that this was the place where she had worked as a child laborer at the kebab shop.

On the surface, the law barely prohibits the employment of child labor. Although there is a lot of room for maneuver, it is not enough to allow her to start working in full view of everyone. However, due to the Confusion Charm, Hermione deliberately made the people around her ignore this fact.

After all, Marvel is currently in 08, so she can't use the currency from 91, let alone the fact that she only has pounds.

We still need to earn some money that we can use locally.

Uncle Erwin, the owner of the barbecue restaurant, treated her quite well, giving her a high starting salary and being a kind person. He played a crucial role in helping her quickly adapt to the world of time travel.

I've met some kind people since I first arrived.

But... what's with all the yelling in the store?

Did they put tomatoes in Sawimari?

Hermione frowned, sensing that things were not so simple, and quickly walked into the store.

Chapter 7 First Attempt at Dark Harvest

"Araho Cave is open."

Upon arriving at the store, Hermione lightly waved her wand at the locked door, and the lock fell to the ground with a click.

Hermione cast an illusion spell on herself, becoming invisible, and quietly walked inside.

Deep inside the room, beside the bar, two figures were facing off, while a window nearby had been pried open.

One of them was the familiar Uncle Erwin, and opposite him stood a black man holding a pistol.

Hermione understood immediately.

Zero-dollar purchases, that's America's traditional skill.

Uncle Erwin raised his hand, looking nervous, and said repeatedly, "Don't shoot, I'll go get you the money right now."

He then moved toward the counter.

Old Hei roared, "Hand over the money! I told you to hand over the money! Don't move! I said don't move! Give me the money, go get the money now!"

The muzzle of the gun trembled slightly with his body, as if he was about to fire at any moment.

Hermione: "..."

Listening to the ramblings in front of her, Hermione could only sigh that the intelligence level of the black man who bought the item for free was indeed in line with his character.

Just as Irwin was unsure whether to say "Don't move" or "Go get the money," the old black man seemed to be enraged by the other party's indifference, his roar became more intense, and his finger was pulled on the trigger.

Seeing this, Hermione no longer hesitated, pointed her wand forward, and whispered:

"Fly away, all of you!"

Instantly, an invisible force struck the black robber in the chest, sending him flying backward and crashing heavily against the wall with a loud thud.

The force was so great that even the wall developed some cracks.

Hmm, the power is pretty good.

Hermione was very satisfied.

Although it's only a level 1 knockback spell, with full proficiency, it's roughly equivalent to a top-tier underground boxer's full-force attack, making it significantly stronger than other wizards of the same grade.

Even some senior wizards might not be able to achieve this level of power with their knockback spells.

"Ah... it hurts... help..."

Old Black, lying on the ground, let out a painful groan, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted and several of his ribs were broken.

"Huh, he's not dead yet?"

Hermione raised her wand again.

"Split into pieces!"

The transparent wave swiftly sliced ​​through the air and landed on Old Black's neck.

The next second, the latter's neck split open, revealing a deep wound that exposed bone, cutting off half of his neck.

Fresh blood gushed out, flowing all over the ground.

Erwin, standing to the side, was completely terrified.

Just as he saw that Lao Hei was mentally unstable and obviously high on drugs, and was about to fight him, the latter, for some reason, was as if he had been hit by something and slammed into the wall, and then his neck suddenly broke.

It's a complete horror movie.

He trembled all over and dared not move. The sight before him made him wonder if it was him or the other person who had taken too much drugs.

"A pistol is coming!"

While Erwin was stunned, Hermione quietly cast a Summoning Charm, pulled the pistol on the ground into her arms, and then left the store without looking back.

……

Dark Harvest

Current Soul Energy: 1

In the dark alley, Hermione watched the changes in the spellbook, feeling very pleased.

Sure enough, her guess was right!

Dark Harvest can absorb power through death!

After obtaining this soul energy, she immediately understood how to use it: she could directly infuse it into her body to enhance her magic power, or use it to strengthen her spell proficiency.

One point of energy can increase the corresponding value by one point.

"Isn't this forcing me to become an evil dark wizard?" Hermione's smile was already hard to suppress.

That's right, she's returning to the Marvel universe tonight with only one purpose: to kill.

Because the Dark Harvest requires death to harvest soul energy, and with no one around to die, she simply took matters into her own hands.

Of course, the target wasn't chosen randomly.

First of all, while she doesn't shy away from killing, she doesn't want to persecute innocent bystanders, which really crosses the line.

Even if this wasn't Earth from her previous life, she still treated everything as a game and didn't want to do this.

Whether in her past or present life, Hermione is not a kind person, but she is certainly not a mentally ill person who pursues chaos and evil.

Secondly, and most importantly.

Hermione has already decided on her character in Marvel.

If she were to kill indiscriminately and invite a siege from various superheroes, it would be a huge loss. She wanted to use the Marvel universe as a stable testing ground to improve her strength, so she couldn't make herself an enemy of the whole world.

Just like now, although she killed someone, she was a robber who wanted to kill for money, which is definitely superheroic behavior.

This would justify the killing, and given her age, even someone as righteous as Captain America wouldn't criticize her.

Mere killing, which superhero hasn't done it?

As long as it's done in the name of justice.

Hermione Jane Granger

[Magic Level 1 (988/1000)]

As she absorbed the soul energy, a cool sensation spread throughout her body, and Hermione noticed that her magic had noticeably increased.

A little bit of soul energy is worth a whole day's hard work for her!

Cool!

The Marvel universe is just...perfect for her!

Hahaha!
