All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 189 Please don’t perform magic in the name of magic

Not long after the summer vacation started, Ms. Moon Shadow kept calling to ask Linde if there was any new world to explore.

Linde told her that it wasn't there yet, but it would be soon.

When Ms. Moon Shadow had a video call with him, the background was a barren and pale land, the sky was dark, and bright stars were shining quietly.A group of adults and children in spacesuits jumped up and down behind her, imitating the hops of rabbits and having fun.

"Is this on the moon?"

"Yes." Ms. Yueying said in a relaxed tone, "Go out for a walk and show these children the world."

"Then I wish you a good time." Linde shrugged.

"Come on, the scenery here is nothing interesting. It's deserted, and I thought I could find 'Chang'e'."

"Then you can go to Mars to watch the blue sunset. It must be good. Or you can go explore exoplanets. It is said that the oceans on some planets are pink and some are purple."

Ms. Yueying waved her hand, "Mortal bodies are too weak, so it's better not to travel far away."

The distance between the earth and the moon can include all the other seven planets in the solar system. The so-called travel of Ms. Moon Shadow is about leaving the scope of the solar system.

"The universe in this world is too vast, isn't it? If I discover a vibrant universe, I will definitely invite you to visit an alien planet."

Ms. Moon Shadow narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Then it's a deal."

In the gate-shaped imprint, the new world has entered the final countdown. Linde is no longer as full of expectations as he was when he first crossed, and he still lives step by step.

During his summer vacation, he still went to work for Malika in the bakery, and he went to work and off work with her every day.

This girl carefully studied the "Multiverse Baking Manual" she received for Christmas, and selectively selected a few special pastries as new products in the store. They were very popular as soon as they were launched.

After the business improved, Linde became even busier. He was in charge of the cashier, pretending to be wearing a chef's hat and standing behind the counter. He greeted everyone with a smile.

He won't feel inferior because of such a simple job, but it is true that he feels bored occasionally. At this time, he will perform a few simple magic tricks to make the guests smile.

Because of the fame of the bakery, Linde, who is quick in mental arithmetic, and the Asian cashier who can do magic also gained a little limelight.Quite a few street magicians came here to criticize deliberately. They couldn't tell if they wanted to test the quality of their colleagues, or they wanted to take the opportunity to hook up with the bakery proprietress, or a combination of both.

Linde likes these guys quite a lot. Magician is an interesting profession. It has a charlatanism that is hard to find in the industrial age. He is proud of his own skills and relies on his craftsmanship to make a living, so he is not as rude and annoying as scoundrels and street gangsters.

This day, a man named Steven came again. He politely bought a piece of cheap white bread and expressed that he wanted to discuss with Linde.

Linde smiled and said, "You are the second one today and the seventeenth one this month. It seems I have to put a notice on the counter saying that there is a one hundred pound charge for a magic showdown with the cashier."

"That's lucky for me, because I can't afford the money. All I have is these gadgets."

Steven took out three bottle caps and a green bean. This time you are about to perform the classic three-shell game. In the East, it is also called the Three Immortals Return Cave. It is a very old magic trick. That is, you hide the mung beans under the bottle cap. After changing the position of the bottle cap, people can guess where the mung beans are. Under the lid.

Experienced magicians can make the beans appear in any position, so ordinary people have basically no chance of winning if they try to guess.

The customers all gathered around, and even the shop assistants took the opportunity to catch fish and watch the show.

Steven smiled at Linde, "Can you?"

"Please begin."

Steven put the beans under the bottle cap in the middle, and then changed the positions five times in a leisurely manner. Even an old man could keep an eye on the changes at this speed.

Many onlookers meditated on the right side, but they smiled knowingly, knowing that it could never be on the right side.

A young man wearing glasses, who seemed to be a college student in the Department of Mathematics, talked to his female companion about the probability of mung beans under the right lid. He said that the probability was not one-third, but one-half, because he was not interested in magic. To the expert, the three bottle caps are just deceptive decorations. The key to determining where the beans are is where he chooses to put them. He may or may not be on the right, so it's a 50/50 probability.

Linde did not have clairvoyant eyes, he just casually pointed at the bottle cap in the middle.

Steven deliberately lifted the lid on the right side first, and the mung bean was underneath. The people around him sighed with regret.

"It seems I won." Steven smiled, "Sometimes you have to believe your eyes."

Linde asked him to open the middle lid as well.

To everyone's surprise, there was actually a bean underneath.

Steven was taken aback, how could he not be clear about his own magic, he hurriedly opened the left cover again, and there was also a bean.

"Your magic didn't work, but I didn't guess it right either. Can we call it a draw?"

"Okay, it's your turn."

"Oh, no, I think we'll call it a day. We don't need to keep fighting, there's still a queue of customers to check out."

As Linder spoke, he picked up the bread Steven bought, put it into the bag, and then banged it, and the bread disappeared.

Steven was obviously stunned for a moment. Linde's magic show was so natural and fast that it ended before his brain could react.

Linde showed the empty packaging bags to everyone.

The audience laughed and applauded.

Steven was puzzled. There must be basic rules for magic performances, right? Vanishing magic is a relatively difficult skill. From David Copperfield making the Statue of Liberty disappear to making a coin disappear, the difficulty is completely different. The white bread he bought weighed a pound, which was very difficult. How could a thick and fat piece suddenly disappear?

Linde handed over the wrapping paper with a smile, "You can check it."

Steven took the wrapping paper and left silently. Linde shouted from behind: "Sir, you didn't get your bread."

"No, thank you!" The magician stared at the wrapping paper intently and bumped into the door frame when he went out.

The guests were satisfied and paid their bills and left.

Slowly, a pair of old men in the line approached the counter, and the white-haired guy smiled and said, "Wizard, you cast magic outside the school privately, which violated the secrecy law. Come with us now."

The customers were not surprised when they heard this. They had all read "Magical Me" and were familiar with the story of Wizard Gilderoy. They all thought the old man was joking and praised Lind's magic as magic.

Lind teased Dumbledore: "Hey, where are you on your honeymoon, Headmaster?" He nodded slightly to Grindelwald aside, with a distant attitude.

"Excuse me, it was Albus who said he wanted to come to visit you." Grindelwald replied politely.

"Is there anything important?" Linde looked at Dumbledore.

"Just stopping by to buy two loaves of bread. And to visit my favorite student." The old bee was kind.

Linde shook his head and smiled, "You want to go to Winterhold, right? Please sit in a nearby coffee shop for a while, I'm about to leave work."
