Huh? There's a magic school here.

The election of new leaders at the Ministry of Magic is a major event in both the wizarding and Muggle worlds, but what's unexpected is that this election took less than ten days from voting to election. Yes, only ten days! There wasn't even enough time for the media on Earth to hype it up before the election was over.

Pang Minghui lived up to expectations, winning with 52.4% of the vote, followed by Diane with 31%, and finally Beretta with 16.6%. The election proceeded so quickly because it was pre-arranged by Andres and Darius.

Since we are currently at war, we should make this transition quick and decisive. In addition, the number of wizards in the wizarding world is not particularly large, so the voting and statistics will be completed quickly.

Unlike the election campaigns in some countries on Earth, there was no media hype or propaganda; instead, the Daily Prophet only introduced the candidates' work experience. There was no infighting among the candidates like on Earth; instead, the Daily Prophet simply outlined their upcoming work priorities.

The final result was clear: Pang Minghui, as the leader of the Power Department, enjoyed greater trust from the wizarding world. The day after the final outcome, the Ministry of Magic promptly held a handover ceremony between Darius and Pang Minghui.

Darius handed a staff adorned with a coiled dragon to Pang Minghui. Upon receiving the staff, the dragon suddenly came to life and roared several times towards the sky. The staff then returned to calm, symbolizing the departure of the old Minister of Magic and the rise of a new one.

The Daily Prophet captured this moment with the headline "Handover." The Daily Prophet detailed the resumes of both the outgoing and incoming ministers, thanked Darius for his previous hard work, and looked ahead to the changes Pang Minghui would bring to the wizarding world. In short, everything was harmonious!

The following week was spent with Darius helping Pang Minghui take over the reins of the Ministry of Magic. This wasn't because Pang Minghui lacked the ability to control the Ministry, but rather because there were many things that only the Minister of Magic knew and needed to be handed over to his successor.

This period also served to help the new Minister for Magic familiarize himself with his duties, and incidentally, the new Minister for Magic would interview new officials from various departments. This was actually a new experiment for the magical world, as it was unprecedented for the Ministry of Magic to have such a large-scale rotation of its officials.

Previously, the Ministry of Magic would fill vacancies by assigning replacements when someone left a department. Now, however, only a few less senior members are promoted within a department, followed by a large influx of new staff. This has caused temporary chaos within the Ministry of Magic.

The heads of various departments and offices were selected through a competitive process by some veteran members, leaving Andres feeling helpless after this reshuffle. On one hand, there was a need for a large number of mid- to high-level personnel to assist in the colonization and expansion of other worlds; on the other hand, the rotation of most of the Ministry of Magic's staff had caused chaos.

Fortunately, this only happened once, and next time Andres will adopt a phased rotation strategy. Andres plans to rotate a portion of the staff every two years, ensuring a constant influx of fresh talent into each department while maintaining a balance between experienced and new personnel to prevent chaos.

After Pang Minghui arranged for the new department leaders, the older generation of officials began leaving the Ministry of Magic to go home and pack their belongings for further studies on the continent of Karen. This core group consisted of about five hundred wizards, and Andres did not make them wait until September 1st to start school, but instead urged them to enroll as soon as possible.

Of course, their management wasn't as strict as at Hogwarts. After all, everyone was an adult and knew what they should and shouldn't do. So, to provide a better learning environment for everyone, Andres didn't treat them like ordinary students. Instead, he believed in guiding them through the door but leaving the rest to their own efforts. Andres only arranged some basic courses in the Karen Continent's magic system, with the rest being various subject clubs.

This allowed the wizards to learn according to their individual interests and weaknesses, and in short, their arrival made the Mirror Floating Island lively. Andres had originally planned to have the merchants from the magic shops move to the floating island during the summer vacation, but now he had to inform them in advance that they could come.

As a result, houses of various styles began to appear below the mirrored floating island, and this change attracted many wizards who were on duty at the Dragon Kingdom's outpost to come here to relax and stroll during their breaks.

Currently, there are approximately 1,500 resident wizards on the entire floating island, including more than 500 wizards from the Ministry of Magic, more than 700 Hogwarts professors, more than 100 local professors from the continent of Karen summoned by Andres, and more than 100 staff members from wizarding shops.

Even the centaur father and daughter who had previously gone to the grasslands to check on their new home came to the floating island. Of course, they weren't there to play, but to find Andres. They loved that vast, boundless grassland so much that they hoped to move there as soon as possible.

However, Andres stopped their impulsive idea, because the Bear Kingdom's outpost base there hadn't been firmly established yet. For safety reasons, Andres wanted them to wait until the Bear Kingdom had completely controlled the grassland before moving there. However, at the repeated pleas of the centaur father and daughter, Andres promised to allocate some resources to the Bear Kingdom's base so that the Bear Kingdom could take control of the area as soon as possible.

Finally, at Andres's invitation, the centaur father and daughter spent a few more days exploring the floating island. Martha almost didn't want to return to the Forbidden Forest; it was so fascinating! Not only was there delicious fruit wine, but also some exotic plants that Martha had never seen before. So much so that the father and daughter kept delaying their return home, and finally, with no other excuse to stay, Martha reluctantly left.

Just as the magical world was undergoing these changes, Samuro finally arrived at the outskirts of Dawn Forest with his army. Upon arrival, Samuro began having his orc slaves build camps. While awaiting the arrival of the ogre and kobold armies, he also personally led members of the Darkblade into Dawn Forest to investigate the situation of the humans on Earth.

Samuro originally planned to infiltrate the human base alone to investigate, but it discovered that as soon as it approached the base, human weapons were thrown at it. It didn't understand what the problem was, and it didn't even consider forcing its way into the human base, because its intuition told it that there were two equally powerful adversaries inside.

Samuro wasn't sure if he could escape unscathed if he forced his way in, so he waited patiently. He was waiting for the enemy to leave the base on their own so he could seize them and obtain the information he needed.
