Feeling refreshed and triumphant.
Although he only gained the upper hand at first through a sneak attack and was later suppressed by the opponent's powerful strength, Ethan had achieved his goal and did not need to dwell on these minor details.
"Those words on your lower back, you are not allowed to just remove them, okay?"
"What words?"
Ethan twisted his body to try to see, but found it difficult to view that spot on his lower back. He had no choice but to cast a mirror spell, then looked at Diana with a speechless expression.
"Hehehe."
Diana held her head high, looking smug. She was not the type to suffer a loss. Did he think only he could write words?
Ethan could only shake his head helplessly, washing away the words written with divine power. After that, he acted as if nothing had happened and proceeded with various preparations.
Diana was also packing. She was returning to her world today. Besides Logan, Sherry and Laura were also going with her. The two felt a bit bored and decided to visit Diana's place for fun.
Their real purpose was also to avoid Ethan, since these two did not want to turn back into children and attend some magic academy.
Given the choice, no one would willingly turn into a child. Especially when there was no impending crisis of lifespan, and they were in the prime of their youth with their bodies at peak condition, they were even less willing to become children.
Ethan asked around, and only Illya, Leah, and Rin would be entering Hogwarts with him.
Besides the children who had to turn into kids to blend into Hogwarts, they also needed several official guardians.
"I'll go."
Considering the era and cultural background, the nominal guardians were ultimately Selene, Evelyn, her brother Jonathan, and O'Connell. These individuals had British accents and were most suitable for impersonating guardians. However, apart from Selene, the others were mostly going for a trip, so nominally, Selene would be looking after the children.
"Strange? Where did Scáthach run off to?"
After saying goodbye to Diana and sending a few people to Diana's world, Ethan began preparing to go to Hogwarts. But after looking around, he did not see Scáthach.
Given Scáthach's personality, she would definitely not miss this opportunity to watch the fun. Her absence was absolutely abnormal.
While wondering about this, he suddenly saw two little girls with twin pigtails chatting and walking toward him.
One had black hair and blue eyes, and although she was small, it was clear at a glance that she was Rin.
The other was neither Illya nor Leah. This girl wore clothes similar to Rin's, also had twin pigtails, and had very noticeable purple hair.
"Scáthach?"
"How do I look?" Scáthach stood in front of Ethan, gently twirled around, then maliciously acted cute toward him, making him uneasy and unsure how to comment. "I made some adjustments to the potion you gave Rin and used it on myself. The effect isn't bad, right?"
Scáthach was at least a demigod. The potion Ethan made was for ordinary people. If Scáthach used it directly, it would not have any effect at all.
So, after figuring out the principle and formula, Scáthach optimized and strengthened it herself, then drank it directly, turning back into a little girl.
"You are going to Hogwarts too?"
"Such an interesting place, of course I cannot miss it."
"Alright."
Ethan glanced at Selene next to him. She had been specifically called back. Cherry Military Industry was already on the right track, and Selene's initial decisive actions had deterred most enemies. Now, they did not dare to use underhanded tactics to deal with Cherry Military Industry because they had realized the other party had fewer bottom lines than them and was more ruthless.
What scared these people the most was that Cherry Military Industry could always find the mastermind behind the scenes, and their revenge came particularly quickly and never failed. In this regard, Cherry Military Industry had never made a mistake. This kind of intelligence and assassination ability made them fearful, as if nothing could be hidden from this mysterious new military enterprise. Conversely, they could not find any evidence to prove that all of this was done by Cherry Military Industry.
They began to suspect that their companies had spies planted by the other party. Before they could figure out what was going on, no one dared to act recklessly.
However, Selene's return did not mean that Cherry Military Industry was left unprotected. Not to mention Annette's own strength was not something ordinary humans could handle, Ada had also been active in that world, constantly collecting various information and intelligence. In fact, many attacks and assaults targeting Cherry Military Industry were known by Ada and relayed to Annette to prepare for before they were even carried out.
Selene simply killed the incoming enemies and then used her unique magic to counter-track, eliminating the fools who thought they were safe hiding behind the scenes.
Now that Selene was absent, this work could be divided between Annette and Ada to handle together, which could also give the two women, who were gradually feeling bored, something to do.
"Let's set off directly."
This time, it was not just about creating a reasonable birth time to get on the Hogwarts freshman roster. They also needed to create various identity documents, including birth and other information, which would take time to forge.
Calling it forging, with the abilities Ethan and the others possessed, the fabricated documents were no different from real ones.
Ethan did not need to worry about this at all. After arriving in the Harry Potter world, Selene only took half a month to create complete sets of information, including genuine birth certificates.
"What about you?"
This information was not actually that important. The real issue to solve was the Hogwarts freshman roster. No matter how detailed the information in ordinary society was, it would not affect Hogwarts' admissions.
"I originally thought it would be very troublesome, but I found that modifying this thing is completely without difficulty for me now."
This so-called freshman roster was essentially a detection spell, a means for the British Ministry of Magic to monitor wizards within its territory. Anyone within this range who possessed magic power would be detected.
Perhaps adult wizards had ways to hide their magic power fluctuations, but newborns could not do this. At the same time, when a baby was born, their magic power would exhibit relatively special fluctuations, like a special energy reaction. The Hogwarts freshman roster was designed to search and record new students based on this special energy fluctuation.
Therefore, to get one's name on this list, one only needed to control their magic power to produce the correct fluctuations, which was not difficult for Ethan. However, for him, there was an even simpler way.
Perhaps because no one had ever done it before, this roster had no defensive measures. Ethan could easily modify the list.
Since the matter was so simple, there was no need to passively get on the list. Ethan directly filled in the names of the several children and matched them with the various information documents created by Selene, then repeatedly checked to ensure there were no problems.
He also specifically checked to confirm that he and the others were in the same year as Harry Potter, the protagonist of this world.
"Alright, now let's go back."
"That's it? We just came here for a while. I did not even see you go out."
Rin did not know what had happened. Only Scáthach knew that Ethan had used his power to do many things.
"There is still a lot to do next. We need to create some basic resumes. These things will be left to Selene and me."
"How will you do it?"
"Control the landing time point, and then create various activity records, such as living in a certain country at such and such an age, then returning to the UK after so many years, and how the several families met."
"I understand."
Having records of international moves could prevent suspicion from arising due to no one knowing them. Although Hogwarts was a school and Ethan and the others were just there to learn magic, as they learned more and grew older, they might become important figures in the magical world, so some people would definitely investigate their backgrounds.
The more real these things were made, the more peaceful their lives in the academy would be.
This time, Ethan did not plan to cause any trouble. He just wanted to quietly spend a few years living the academy life and learning new and interesting things, although everyone, including Selene, expressed serious doubts about Ethan's words.
Illya even looked at Ethan with a "I'd be crazy to believe you" expression for an entire day, but he still firmly stated, "Absolutely no trouble this time."
As long as Voldemort did not come looking for trouble, he would be a quiet bystander, witnessing how the savior of the magical world, the legendary hero Harry Potter, grew up.
Just as Ethan and Selene were busy creating various activity records, Ethan suddenly received a message.
"Logan?"
Looking at the signal sent by Logan, he wanted to come back?
The time flow of Artemis and the DC Universe were not synchronized. Because of Diana, Ethan had even deliberately created a difference in time flow. The time in the DC Universe was faster than that of Artemis.
So after Ethan and Selene had been busy for a while, some time should have passed in the DC Universe. Could it be that Logan felt bored and wanted to come back?
He casually cast a counter-summoning spell to bring Logan back. The current Ethan did not need to specifically go there to bring people back.
"Laura and Sherry are staying there?"
"They're having a lot of fun. They'll probably stay a bit longer." Logan's expression was a little strange, as if he was a bit embarrassed.
Then he made a request that surprised Ethan.
"Do you have any potions I can use? I thought about it and it's better for me to go with you."
