Mysterious Journey
Chapter 499: Thunderous Clap
"Huh? Interesting, but..."
Noticing Hannah's sudden increase in power, Aileen shook her head amusingly.
Although she was slightly surprised by the "rua" ability that Little Iron Maiden temporarily displayed, compared to Aileen, who possessed a semi-magical creature constitution, Hannah, a mere ordinary human witch, was still too weak.
Whether it was basic physical fitness or the amplification brought by magic, the gap between her and Aileen was enormous.
"You are so naive! Rua!"
Before the triumphant smile on Hannah's face could fully bloom, Aileen effortlessly grabbed both of Hannah's hands, and with a simple flip, pinned Little Iron Maiden tightly beneath her, her face full of playful amusement.
"Trying to use the magic I taught you against me, Miss Abbott? You're still far from it."
Immediately afterward, Aileen glanced around at the other two little lolis who were preparing to launch an attack. Her free left hand took out her wand and flicked it nimbly in the air. The scarf draped over the sofa chair, like a living rope, swiftly wrapped around the bodies of Hermione and Luna, binding them securely.
These days, it wasn't just Hermione, Luna, and Hannah who were receiving extra lessons.
Ever since hunting Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest some time ago, Grindelwald personally conducted one-on-one magical duels with Aileen during weekends or free afternoons to quickly improve her combat skills.
Although she hadn't mastered many powerful spells in a short period, she had gradually become familiar with the quick application of some Transfiguration spells, as well as the rudimentary use of wordless spells and omitted-syllable spells.
"Want to pull my little ahoge? Hmph!"
Aileen raised her eyebrows, glanced at the stubborn little Hannah beneath her, and without any thought of being gentle with a girl, slapped the girl's upturned bottom, making a crisp sound.
*Clap!*
Hmm, the feeling seems quite nice?
Then... might as well give a few more slaps.
*Clap, clap!*
*Clap clap! Clap clap clap!*
After disciplining the ringleader of the rebellion, Aileen temporarily let go of the teary-eyed Little Iron Maiden and turned her attention to Hermione Granger, who was bound by the long scarf.
"I'm disappointed, Granger. I thought you would understand the joy of learning, but I didn't expect you to fool around with Hannah, even... trying to tickle my waist?! Hmph——"
Facing the little beaver with a look of fear in her eyes, Aileen's lips curled up with pleasure.
Opportunities for such righteous counterattacks were rare, and she naturally had to seize them. After all, normally, it would be difficult for her to find a suitable excuse to use her magic on these little wings.
A few minutes later, the white fluff ball abandoned the calculating machine miss who had lost the will to resist.
"So... it's your turn, Luna little angel."
"Aileen-jie, what you're doing is wrong! Violence cannot make people submit."
Looking at the approaching Aileen, Luna swallowed and said cautiously, "Even if you temporarily defeat Hermione-jie, Hannah-jie, you still won't be able to make them continue to read peacefully, so..."
"Hmm, you have a point."
Aileen nodded thoughtfully and reached out to touch Luna's cheek.
Feeling the hesitation of the silver-white devil in front of her, Luna breathed a sigh of relief and struggled to move from side to side, "Then, can you release me first? This feeling of being bound makes me... feel strange."
"No."
Aileen smiled slightly, "Since you participated in the rebellion together, you must be punished together. This is the price you should have considered before joining their actions. As for the meaning you mentioned—let me tell you a truth, violence cannot make people submit, but it can make people feel pleasure."
*Clap!*
Family status, or rather, absolute power in the backyard, was something that could not be shaken.
As a righteous warrior aspiring to become the guardian god of the magical world, Aileen had always understood the importance of the two basic principles: "Never bow to evil forces" and "Never compromise with terrorists."
Hesitation leads to defeat. On this point, Aileen would not repeat the mistakes of the Soviet Union.
...
Only...
Half an hour later...
"Um... that... don't be angry, okay~"
Looking at the little wings huddled together, silently protesting, Aileen scratched her head with a headache.
After the first joint uprising was brutally suppressed, Hannah, Luna, and Hermione simultaneously exhibited a second response: nonviolent non-cooperation—no crying, no fussing, no response, just silently huddling together for warmth.
It seems... she had been a bit too harsh just now?
Aileen glanced at the three disheveled little lolis, their faces flushed and with a few faint tear stains. If it weren't for the fact that she was also an eleven-year-old loli, this scene might have led to her being taken away directly by the righteous police uncles in later generations, right?
But on closer thought, her previous plan might have been a little too much for a group of lolis who were generally only eleven years old, after all, they were not those Chinese children who had been exposed to inequalities and systems of equations since elementary school.
On the other hand, if there were only simple book learning and theoretical practice, it would indeed be too boring.
Occasionally relaxing a little, combining work and rest, and integrating education with entertainment was a reasonable approach.
"Um, how about we don't learn these things for the next few days?"
Aileen thought seriously for a moment, clapped her hands, and said softly in a cheerful tone.
"I'm sorry, I admit I was indeed a bit too strict before—in the following time, I'll take everyone to do some interesting experiments, how about that? I guarantee it will be very interesting, but you must listen to my commands!"
"Liar fluff ball... I won't believe you!"
Hannah rolled her eyes at Aileen and muttered softly, "That's what you said when you tricked me into studying biology before!"
"Eh? But... but... but didn't you successfully master the usage of the Rua runes?!"
Aileen paused awkwardly, then quickly made up for it.
"That feeling of magical power strengthening yourself is very good, right? With just a little more practice, you can be like me, one punch for an Aug... cough cough, I mean, as strong as me."
"Wait, you first tell us what kind of experiment it is?"
Hermione glanced at Aileen warily, counting on her fingers in a serious manner.
"If it's still experiments like recording siphon phenomena, calculating air pressure, drawing force diagrams, I'll never shower and sleep with you, you lying, black-hearted white fluff ball again!"
"Yes, yes! It also can't be content like pinhole imaging, refraction diffraction reflection angles, and double-slit experiments!"
Luna nodded vigorously with lingering fear, following up.
In the girls' additions, one sentence at a time, they had already spoken of the common experiments of domestic junior high schools - eh, unknowingly, had she already taught so much?!
Aileen touched her little ahoge guiltily and waved her hand with an embarrassed smile.
"Don't worry, it's not any of these... it's definitely an interesting experiment that you've never experienced before. This time, I plan to take you to try to use Muggle physics and chemistry knowledge to simulate the effects of some upper-year spells."
"Upper-year... spells that can only be learned?"
Hermione frowned in confusion and asked curiously, "Then, which ones specifically?"
"For example, the Fire-Making Spell, the Exploding Charm..."
Facing Hermione's question, Aileen spread out her hands and answered without hesitation.
"However, before that, we need to secretly borrow some medicines that I imported from the Muggle world from the school infirmary, and also, go to the greenhouse to collect some Muggle-produced fertilizers, as well as things like sawdust..."
"Of course, the most important thing is to find a small, unoccupied corner in the castle, after all, the commotion during the experiment might be quite loud..."
In order to regain the little lolis' interest in science, Aileen naturally didn't care about Dumbledore's mood.
Anyway, Hogwarts was such a big castle, and magical accidents happened every day. Students' magical mistakes or secretly dueling in the corridors were not uncommon. Adding a few extra small explosions wouldn't be a big deal... right?
Moreover, with the unscientific architectural logic of the magical world, even if they accidentally blew up a load-bearing wall, it wouldn't collapse.
On this point, just refer to the Weasleys' Burrow, which looks almost like a dilapidated house, to understand.
Just like that, one evening a few days later...
*Boom!*
A thunderclap rang out somewhere in Hogwarts Castle.
The entire castle trembled violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Immediately afterward, the entire school heard the long-lost "Headmaster Radio Station" roaring again—at least, in people's memories, it was rare to hear Professor Dumbledore make such a deep and angry voice.
【Aileen Kaslana, Hermione Granger, Hannah Abbott, Luna Lovegood!】
【The four people whose names I just read! Please stop what you are doing immediately! Come to the Headmaster's Office immediately!】
...
At the same time, far away on the other side of the strait in the East.
An even greater thunderclap rang out in the entire non-magical world at the same time.
On December 1, 1991, the Republic of Ukraine held a referendum on secession from the Soviet Union and the election of a president.
The result of this referendum was... 99.85% of Ukrainian voters were in favor of independence.
