But in the magic world, they probably don’t study it like regular science.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is an Actor: Yeah, it’s basically mystical stuff. They use star patterns to check and watch changes in magic energy waves, and the success rate of big spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machete Girl: Wow, sounds really complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is an Actor: It’s not complicated. This stuff is basically just nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doujin Artist: Nonsense? So you mean astronomy is basically a useless class, like Divination?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is an Actor: It has some use, but for young wizards, it’s almost zero. Besides knowing a few star groups, it has no real practical value. Let me think how to improve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curly-haired Guy: Improve it? Why bother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretty Boy from Skull Island: Does Mr. Anzen really plan to teach young wizards some real useful knowledge?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doujin Artist: No need for that, right? You’re going to Hogwarts just to finish the Paradise Tower plan. Why do extra work that gets you no thanks?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skirt-Flipping Maniac: A Dark Lord actually wanting to teach kids? That’s way too weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is an Actor: Not weird. I don’t see a conflict between the two. The Dark Lord plan and teaching students are both part of my role. Since it’s my job, I should do it properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Wow, you’re really dedicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lazy Kitten: So dedicated I don’t even know how to make fun of it. Totally amazing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is an Actor: You guys don’t get what acting is really about. A true actor never slips up, no matter the role. And to avoid slipping up, you fully become that character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Message sent. By now, Gerald had reached the door of the Hogwarts headmaster’s office. He cleared his throat and said the password \"Cockroach Cluster.\" The stone door slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped into the office. First thing he saw were lively oil paintings. These were all past Hogwarts headmasters. Even though their bodies were gone, they lived on in another way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to the paintings, at the desk, stood the bespectacled, kind-faced old man Whitebeard. He was by the chair, eyes fixed on Gerald as he walked in. \"Long time no see, Zickrein.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long time no see, Professor Dumbledore.\" Gerald smiled and bowed a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the group rules’ setting, in this world, Zickrein had spent a lot of time with Dumbledore and the other Hogwarts professors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this world’s Zickrein was only fourteen, and in the Harry Potter magic world view, a fourteen-year-old with his achievements was one of a kind in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zickrein’s legendary growth, besides being a total genius, also came from great teachers. His main guide was naturally Dumbledore and the Hogwarts professors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, all this was a script and path \"Gerald\" had set up from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Growing up under the greatest white wizard’s watch made \"Zickrein’s\" cover stronger and harder to crack. It also cleared up a lot of doubts and suspicions. Perfect plan with many wins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two years, and you’ve grown taller.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gotta say, Gerald’s plan worked great. At least now, Dumbledore looked at him with real warmth, like watching a young plant he raised bloom brightly. \"How’s work at the Ministry of Magic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t really do much. Can’t do anything truly meaningful.\" Gerald answered softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that’s an important life experience, right?\" Dumbledore winked playfully at him and tapped the metal tin on the desk with his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal tin suddenly opened wide and spit out a bunch of weird snacks. Mostly sweets, with some odd-flavor beans mixed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want some?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No thanks, Professor. You know I don’t like these little snacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right! I remember you love meat. But as people get older, they start liking sweet tastes. I can’t live without them now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have to go through dangers to taste sweetness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You still say those wise-beyond-your-years things, my boy.\" Dumbledore sighed a bit helplessly. Then: \"We old folks agreed to let you come back to Hogwarts as staff. But our goal isn’t just to make you a professor.\" He pulled a letter from the drawer and handed it to Gerald.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gerald took the letter and read it carefully. He looked puzzled. \"Half-student?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep.\" Dumbledore smiled. \"You’ll get professor pay and don’t have to teach classes. But you must join school student activities, and do it as a Hogwarts student.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gerald paused, then said: \"If that’s the professors’ decision, I’ll follow it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not a decision, my boy.\" Dumbledore shook his head. \"We just want to give you real student-life fun memories, not just time with a few old professors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks to you and the professors.\" Gerald nodded politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s what we should do.\" Dumbledore popped a Cockroach Cluster in his mouth, then added: \"Also, this old man has a personal favor to ask. Um, it’s about that Chosen One.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gerald got it right away. \"I’ll keep an eye on him for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on. We kept your room at Hogwarts ready for you.\" Dumbledore smiled happily and said softly: \"Yelas misses you too. Visit when you can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, Professor.\" Gerald nodded and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his back as he left, Dumbledore’s smile faded. He slowly pulled a black seal from his pocket. His eyes turned very serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 30 advanced Chapters on my patreon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FGustinaKamiya\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>",897,"2026-06-05T23:59:04.159Z",1,"novelbin.me","70555d4ccfcbdf48c61e57ce5449f5fb4e06a1dc57ab0c7c9066e6ee53c9b9b8","as-aizen-in-naruto-and-joined-a-chat-group-chapter-386","as-aizen-in-naruto-and-joined-a-chat-group-chapter-384",443,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fas-aizen-in-naruto-and-joined-a-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
