Chapter 449: The Expression of Jealousy

Hermione's willingness to trust Aliana was a great help to her in constructing the "War God." They only spent one night successfully establishing a second personality. Then, Hermione spent nearly a week finally barely accepting and adapting to the existence of the second personality.

"I think it's not bad," Hermione said while eating on Friday night. "Aliana's knowledge seems to have entered my brain too. I often think of some things I didn't know originally when reading books."

"You used the word 'think of,' which shows the 'War God' has safely moved into your subconscious," Harry suggested. "Let's try to see if we can transform tomorrow."

"Perhaps we can, but what if Aliana," Hermione was somewhat worried, "I mean, Aliana's personality also cannot transform?"

"You don't have to always worry about things that haven't happened yet," Luo En said while sending a large spoonful of food into his mouth. "Try it first and then talk."

Harry originally turned his head to look at Luo En. He wanted to suggest Luo En not talk while chewing, but at this moment he saw several green figures.

"Nine o'clock tomorrow morning, at the old place," Ma Erfu said arrogantly. "You've been hiding from me for a week, Saber."

Luo En swallowed what was in his mouth and waved his hand very helplessly. "I don't want to bully children; you don't know at all what powerful strength I have obtained."

"I don't think Magma Dragon will lose," Ma Erfu leaned down and said very confidently. "I have already thought about it carefully. I didn't fight fiercely enough before. Yes, I have a way to win against you."

"Fine," Luo En said casually. "Old time, old place, old opponent, old ending."

Ma Erfu blushed at once. He said proudly: "We'll see." Then he flicked his sleeve and walked away swaggeringly with two followers.

"Ma Erfu's mental state is worrying," Harry sighed. "He actually laughs and talks with Goyle and Crabbe now."

Early the next morning, Hermione followed Harry and Luo En into the Room of Requirement with an attitude of exchange and learning. Seeing her, Ma Erfu's brows picked, but he didn't say any extra words, just issued a battle invitation.

"Wake up burning! Cross-Z Magma!"

"Flaming Unsheathed!"

When Saber completed the transformation, Ma Erfu was stunned for a moment. His voice came from under the face mask, somewhat distorted: "You use the basic form? Where is your new power? Where is Elemental Dragon?"

"Already enough," Saber held the sword with both hands, the tip of the sword drooping slightly.

The Magma Dragon let out a low growl and lunged forward, its gauntlet carrying intense heat as it struck directly at Saber's chest. Saber remained unhurried, gently turning the long sword in his hand, the blade meeting the glowing gauntlet like a nimble snake. Then, the moment the blade made contact with the gauntlet, Saber flicked his wrist, using the sword to guide and deflect the force of the punch; the fist grazed his shoulder armor, stirring up a gust of hot wind.

Magma Dragon missed a hit, adjusted his posture quickly, the left fist following closely, hitting Saber's abdomen directly. Saber moved his footsteps slightly, his body tilted slightly, the sword hilt pressing down along the momentum, accurately blocking Magma Dragon's left fist. At the same time, his blade picked, the tip of the sword pointing straight at the throat, forcing Magma Dragon to retreat one step.

"Your attack is too direct," Saber adjusted his posture again, the blade faintly glowing red.

The simple words infuriated his opponent. The Magma Dragon leaped up suddenly, both fists raised high, smashing toward Saber like a meteorite. Saber shifted his feet, his long sword quickly carving an arc in his hand, the blade spiraling to dissipate the impact of the smashing punch while the tip simultaneously thrust toward the chest.

Magma Dragon was forced to twist his body in the air, barely avoiding this stab, but his footsteps were slightly staggering when landing. He just stood firm, and Saber's offensive had arrived. The blade slashed toward the shoulder, Magma Dragon hurriedly raised his left arm to block, the blade and armor colliding, sparks splashing everywhere.

"Try another move," Saber didn't take the opportunity to knock him down, but retreated a step lightly.

After a brief pause, the Magma Dragon erupted, throwing punches in rapid succession; the scorching magma flames rained down upon Saber. Beneath the faceplate, Draco's face was flushed red; he had never felt so humiliated. Saber, however, remained unhurried, his long sword dancing in his hands, the blade precisely parrying every attack with clean, efficient movements, without a single wasted motion.

Magma Dragon's offensive became increasingly messy. Finally, he gave up meaningless punching himself, sitting on the ground dejectedly, and the transformation was also released accordingly.

"What did you go do? Are you still Luo En?" Ma Erfu's tone was full of grievance and incomprehension.

"Just wanted to understand a problem," Luo En's voice came from under the knife-like face mask. "That is exactly why I swing the sword."

Pan Xi walked forward, soothing Ma Erfu's emotions with gentle movements. "It doesn't matter, let's think about it, maybe we can become stronger next time."

Harry looked at Ma Erfu, who was blushing, somewhat amusedly. He even had a feeling of looking at a child. What kind of person was this Cross-Z before? How did he turn a perfectly good scheming belly-black young master into this kind of reckless fool?

"Let's do the next thing, Hermione, you try OOO," Harry said. "It just so happens Luo En didn't spend much effort, and can help you test the current strength of OOO."

Hermione put away her mocking smile, nodded to Harry, then took out the belt and Energy Bottle, and closed her eyes slowly.

She threw the Energy Bottle up, then opened her eyes suddenly, and the momentum of the whole person changed accordingly. Her other hand swept across the air suddenly, grabbing the Energy Bottle she just threw up firmly.

"Pu·To·Tyranno-Zaurus!"

The purple figure appeared in front of everyone. Harry asked in surprise: "Directly Tyranno?"

"This degree is nothing," the voice under the face mask didn't sound like Hermione, but like Aliana. "How to evolve? Is it necessary to fight a match?"

Her momentum was even stronger than the Magma Dragon just now. Saber adjusted his posture and raised his long sword very seriously.

OOO flipped her wrist, and a large purple axe appeared in her hand suddenly. She strode forward, directly hacking toward the long sword. Saber immediately fell into a disadvantage in the first weapon collision. He adjusted his posture quickly, caught the second downward hack, but the whole person also retreated a few steps involuntarily.

"Have to take out real skills, Luo En-Luo En?"

"Max Hazard On!"

Saber inserted the Hazard Trigger quickly, then took out a folded prop, but he hesitated for a moment, put the prop back, and just turned the handle lightly.

"Shake hands! Elemental Dragon!"

Relying on the power of Elemental Dragon and exquisite swordsmanship, Saber and OOO fought to a standstill. OOO looked more unrestrained, the hand axe opening and closing, while Saber paid more attention to technique. Most of the time, the sword technique was parrying, but a few collisions occasionally, from the fiercely bursting sparks, it could also be seen that he was actually not weaker than OOO.

After fighting for a few more rounds, OOO took a step back actively, then took off the belt lightly, revealing Hermione's figure. But she stood quite arrogantly, looking at Luo En with teasing eyes.

"Not bad, I just said I actually have talent. Oh, perhaps Hermione has talent," she said.

In the corner, Ma Erfu, who was originally sitting on the ground, had already turned into a pig-liver color.

"Even she... even this... also..."

The second personality Hermione suddenly seemed to have discovered something interesting, ran to his side quickly, lowered her head and smiled triumphantly: "Even you will show this kind of expression? This expression of jealousy of others? Hahahahahahahaha!"

After laughing, she straightened up again, stood in front of Harry and Luo En who were shocked, and hugged them, saying: "Thank you, very happy today, time to return her to you."

Her eyes closed and opened again. Hermione herself regained control of the body. She loosened her hands hugging the two, and pressed her scalp somewhat uncomfortably.

"This feeling is not good, it's like, it's like I'm actually awake, you know?" she said. "The thoughts injected by Aliana are too arrogant, this is a bit unlike her."

"Actually this is her, when she first participated in the Triwizard Tournament, she was like this," Harry revealed a nostalgic look in his eyes. "How good, high-spirited, believing she can change everything."

"But the words she said, I never speak like this," Hermione's feet rubbed on the floor because of embarrassment. "Oh, I really hope you don't need OOO's power."

"Then do you want to delete her?" Luo En asked somewhat amusedly.

Hermione hesitated for a moment. She looked at Ma Erfu, who turned from jealousy to incompetent rage, and suddenly felt that in fact, the second personality just did what she had long wanted to do, and at this moment, she also thoughtfully used 'split personality' to throw off the responsibility for her.

"Not for now," Hermione's tone still carried a bit of secret joy. "Shall we go?"

Harry had a little bit of maintenance consciousness for a surface friend like Ma Erfu. He seriously performed full apologies, lowered his head and said: "Sorry, Ma Erfu, I think there was a slip in the experiment, we have to go check it again."

"Yes yes, no wonder it was so abnormal today. You guys be careful not to drive her crazy, better let Madam Pomfrey check it," Pan Xi said while going down the stairs, not forgetting to express her dissatisfaction with barbs.

Words having reached this point, Harry waved goodbye naturally, then quickly caught up with Luo En and Hermione.

However, in the afternoon, just before Harry finished dinner and returned to the dormitory, Pan Xi stood on his way and bowed to him very solemnly.

"Thank you guys. I don't know if it's a coincidence or a mistake, but Ma Erfu's bottle has started to be dyed gold," she said. "I feel his reason has also returned a little."

"Ah? Is it because of jealousy?" Luo En said uncomprehendingly. "This isn't right, is it?"

"Perhaps," Harry looked at Pan Xi somewhat complicatedly. "It's because of your companionship. When he experienced the most painful failure, you were still by his side. This gave him a reason that must be guarded." ===== CHAPTER 450 =====
