Magnus places the sword in front of him, covering his body. Adrian stayed right behind him with his wand out. He was going to try to shoot at the men whenever he would get a chance.
"Uncle Tom, you stay here," Magnus said and proceeded.
Just as he found a gap between the spells, he jumped in.
*BOOM*
The first spell collided with Despair sword, devouring the spell, like a hungry dragon. But Magnus had to keep his feet firm, so he wouldn't fall back. The energy was great and he had to put all his weight forward.
But luckily, Adrian was helping behind him by pushing him forward. The barrage of spells increased soon after, each spell stronger than the one before.
"SURRENDER, THERE IS NOWHERE TO RUN NOW!" Magnus shouted.
The intensity of attacks increased with that. But their spells told him that they were now scared. Magnus was continuously inching closer to them with each passing second.
There were about 30 steps to reach the basement, Magnus had already covered half of them. He would not have normally been so frustrated, but here, because he was stuck in this one-way route, he had to keep himself focused.
"Confringo!" Adrian sent in his first spell. It nearly hit one wizard, making their attack grow weaker. Magnus pushed quicker, finding this opportunity.
"LET THE KIDS GO! YOU CAN STILL LIVE, PUT THE BLAME ON OSCAR!" Magnus tried to fake them into the deal. Of course, he was lying, he'd never let them live.
Thankfully, they hesitated as they heard this. Hearing Oscar's name, they realised that their boss had already been caught.
"TRUST ME, I AM MAGNUS GRANT EMRYS PENDRAGON. I CAN HELP YOUR LIFE!"
~By ending it.~ He silently completed his words.
Adrian saw the opportunity to and cast a disarming charm. "Expelliarmus!"
*WOOSH*
It directly hit the guy in the front and his wand was flown out of his hands to Adrian.
Now, it was Magnus' time to shine. He screamed and charged forward, "HAAAAAAAA..."
The wizard was in shock and failed to respond in time. Before he even knew it, Magnus was just a few feet away from him, the sword that was shielding Magnus not long ago was now aiming its tip at his chest.
*SLASH*
Magnus thrust it into the man's chest with full strength, the blade came out from his back and as Magnus moved his sword, the man's body also rose in the air.
It was a very scary scene for the rest because Magnus' face looked blood red, it was not his blood, but his enemies'.
~Tsk... I hope the kids aren't scared by me now.~ Magnus cursed as his eyes fell on the back of the room, there were so many kids, sitting close to each other, hugging each other, with fear and tears on their faces, some had even fainted.
He then quickly turned his focus to the next man, "SURRENDER!"
But before Magnus could continue to speak, he remembered something. "Wait, where is the third one?"
*BANG*
Magnus looked back. This was not a magical sound, it was a gunshot. Behind Adrian, the third wizard was standing, his eyes widened and mouth open, his wand was pointed at Adrian's back.
*BAM*
But nothing happened and the man silently fell down on the ground as if he was a mannequin. Now they saw that there was a bullet hole behind the skull.
Seeing where it came from, Tom was standing at the entrance of the Basement, with his gun aimed down. He had just saved Adrian from being killed.
"So they can be killed with guns," Tom muttered.
"Only when they are unaware of it," Magnus replied and turned back. But soon black lines appeared on his head.
"AAAA... help... I wanna go home." a little boy shouted and struggled in the clutches of the last wizard. He was desperate for a way out now and seeing he was the last one standing and would do anything to get out.
"Stay back, I will kill this boy if you take any step forward. And put your wands and sword down. YOU TOO, MUGGLE. Put the gun down." the wizard shouted.
Magnus looked at his partners and nodded at them. He already had a plan to deal with this. They silently put down their weapons.
"Now, I want you to lift the apparition wards you placed. QUICK!" the wizard demanded.
Magnus bit his lips and tried to show that he was angry and scared. But, inside his head, something else was going on, ~Rargnar, don't disappoint me with this."
He slowly tilted his head upwards, then, with a long breath, he spewed out fire from his mouth, so big it lit up the whole basement.
The wizard got distracted by the fire, and in that instant, Magnus took out a small vial from his pocket and threw it directly at the wizard's face.
The glass shattered, and smoke came out of it. Adrian was smart enough to hold his breath, Tom was too far to be affected. This was Ragnar's invention, the sleeping bomb. In one second, the wizard fell asleep.
"AH, all of them fell asleep," Magnus exclaimed, seeing all the kids falling left and right on each other.
But, just as the wizard fell, Adrian went to his body and shot him in the head. He knew that the ministry was compromised and this was the best way to deal with such people. He'd rather see him dead than in Azkaban, from where he could escape if tried hard enough.
"Sorry, I trust the Ministry less than the Muggle justice system." he clarified.
"I know, and I would have done the same," Magnus replied, though he wondered if he was turning too cold towards human life. But then he saw the kids and had no regrets.
Adrian nodded and asked, "Are they safe?"
"Yeah, its side effects only make people high. But thankfully I got an antidote. But let's start obligating them first." Magnus suggested.
He then turned back to Tom, "I saw a telephone in the kitchen, why don't you call the police and ambulances. Tell them to bring as many as possible, we have about 50 children rescued."
Tom nodded and left quickly.
"Let's start."
Next, both Magnus and Adrian one by one wiped all the memories where they saw magic. It was very easy to obliviate children as they have zero mental shields and their mind was also too simple.
It took them about 30 minutes to do this. After that, only Tom was left. He had returned after calling the station. Now he was helping to place children in a better position because they had just fallen here and there because of the sleeping bomb.
Magnus and Adrian walked up to him. Magnus spoke, "Uncle, now we must obliviate you. Remove all the memories related to magic, you will remember everything that happened today, minus this magical fight."
Tom uneasily looked at Magnus's eyes. "Can I not keep these memories?"
Magnus shook his head, "From the 16th-century, the wizards have kept themselves hidden, an international Statute of Secrecy is made, and anybody who breaks will get the worst punishment possible, for us, it will be Azkaban, a prison filled with monsters who feed on your happy memories while tormenting your soul."
"So it's a worldwide secret. Haha, I can't believe we people are so naive. It seems all the fairy tales and stories of knights and dragons were real. Was King Arthur real too?" Tom inquired.
*Cough*
Magnus and Adrian looked at each other funnily. Magus nodded, "Yes, and I am related to King Arthur."
*BLINK BLINK*
"Then, are you a royalty?" Tom asked with his shaking voice.
Magnus nodded, "Yes, I am next in line to the throne. I will be the first-ever king who is also a wizard, hopefully, I will be able to bring the two communities together.
"But, for now, Wizarding world is a secret, only known to the Prime Minister, the Queen and the family members of wizards with non-magical families," Magnus explained to him.
"Wait, do you mean I can also have a child in the future who might be magical?" Tom excitedly asked.
"Yes, each human has magic in him, but only a few are able to bring it out. Sometimes, the child of two magic users can turn out to be non-magical, the opposite also happens, a lot. Adrian here is one of those kids." Magnus replied.
*sigh*
"Who would have thought such an amazing side of the world also existed. But, I can see the chaos if it was revealed to all. I thank you for helping me today, I have no regrets, at least there is a possibility I'd have a magical child in the future, then I will know about this side of the world. You may erase my memories now. The cops are arriving." Tom replied solemnly. Car sirens could be heard from a distance away.
Adrian nodded and went close to him to obliviate him. Tom closed his eyes.
"It was an honour working with you, Your Majesty. Haha, who'd believe I had found a lost king in the park that day." he chuckled in the end.
Magnus for some reason felt bad for him. Tom was a good man, he was so active in saving these kids, not caring about his own life. The world needed men like him. Who were simple, yet kind.
"STOP!" Magnus interrupted.
Adrian quickly put his wand down and Tom opened his eyes in confusion, only to see a cheeky smile on Magnus' face.
Magnus walked close to him and put one hand on his shoulder, "Uncle Tom, how would you like to climb the social ladder?"
[A/N: YES! I had planned this from Chapter 2 when I introduced Tom.]

Thank you for your support!
Adrian smiled widely as soon as he heard this. He completely understands what this means. Magnus was going to cultivate Tom into a top police official, so he may help him later.
Magnus discussed the finer details with him, telling him how he wants to change this country and make it richer than all. Tom, now with the introduction of Magic, believed everything.
"You saw that big hospital being constructed beside Richmond Park? I'm making it, with magic. I will change this world, Uncle Tom. For both, magicals and non-magicals.
"But, by law, I am supposed to obliviate you. Now that I don't want to, I am taking a big risk. For this, I must make sure that you never reveal this to anybody. Not even your family.
"We will make an unbreakable vow, the one who breaks it will die," Magnus announced.
Tom gulped his saliva as he heard this. Sure, he has no intention to betray Magnus but to lose your life over a secret. He felt like he's some spy or something.
"You Wizards are really brutal with your secrets. But I agree with this vow. Let's do it." He firmly agreed. He wanted to be a part of this new world Magnus talked about.
Magnus lifted his hand and held Tom's wrist, while Tom did the same. He had placed his wand in the middle of their hands, so both were touching it.
Magnus then chanted something and soon a white translucent string-like thing appeared, circling around their hands. It was like a knot, tying their bodies to the vow.
"Under this vow, you cannot reveal anything about the magical world to anybody, except me, Adrian, Ted, my parents and my friends. If you do, you will die. If I revealed to someone not stated that you know about the magical world, I will die." Magnus cleared the wording.
"AH! I felt something. It's like... something is tickling in my chest." Tom exclaimed.
Adrian was for the first time seeing this vow be performed on a muggle, "It's the magic, it will burst your heart if you break the vow."
"That's... brutal... but effective. So, what's the plan? You said to climb the social ladder? Are you going to make me your royal butler or something? Haha." Tom jokingly asked.
Magnus like this about him, he was usually calm and kept his mood good, even if something too unnerving was happening. This levelheadedness will help him a lot.
"Well, let's make you the Commissioner of Scotland Yard first. Congratulations on your promotion, Uncle Tom, you will become an Inspector soon and will get a George Cross too, after that, all your promotions will be fast as long as you keep on solving cases. My recommendation to you is that you pick the toughest cases and also the high profile cold cases that are left unsolved. MEDA will secretly help you in solving them, increasing your achievements in your resume. But, do keep on improving yourself." Magnus told him the full plan.
[A/N: The Metropolitan Police Service, formerly and still commonly known as the Metropolitan Police, is informally known as the Met Police, the Met, Scotland Yard, or The Yard]
But Tom felt a bit ashamed, "Won't this be cheating?"
Adrian laughed, "You don't know, Tom, all high ranking officers in the police department have someone high in the chain looking after them, be it politicians, businessmen or the government itself. So Magnus' support is a normal thing, be proud, that the future king believes in you so much."
Magnus then looked at Adrian, "Adrian, you will also get a George Cross, make sure you use this publicity well for the company. And I, well, I already have one, might get another George Cross, but it'll be good for me, when the world finds out about my royalty."
*CAR SIRENS*
"They are close, you two take these two bottles and pour one drop in each child's mouth. They will wake up later. I will go to the top floor to collect the evidence. We need to make sure these people are not able to get away, the ones we killed here were just the tip of the iceberg, there are far more influential people behind this." Magnus handed them two bottles and went upstairs.
It was a fully sealed floor but he just blasted it open. The building was 3 floors high. On the top was just one large hall, it was probably used for conventions or something.
*BOOM*
He blasted the door open.
"Took you long enough, boy. My non-existent legs were getting numb by sitting here." Moddy sarcastically spoke. Beside him was Oscar, silently sitting there, still armless, but there was not even one scratch on his body. Moody must have done a number on him and then healed him.
"Is he ready?" Magnus asked.
"Yes, as good as a docile pup. He will confess to everything and tell names of all wizards, muggles and powerful people involved in this. Muggle trial will be held first from what I feel. Here, this is the whole file he made to keep the evil deeds of his big clients recorded. Enough evidence to grant them death." Moody handed a thick folder.
But Magnus sighed in disappointment, "Muggles in this country have outlawed capital punishment, at most he will get life imprisonment, so he can squander tax money. Oscar will be handled by the Ministry. However, I will make sure all the muggles related to this will get their due punishment."
"Good to hear that, take him. BEHAVE NOW, and if you dare to do anything..." Moody intimidated Oscar, and the man actually shrank his neck in fear.
~What did Moody do to him? NO, I don't want to know.~ Magnus shivered internally.
"Follow me," he told Oscar.
During the whole trial, there were going to be wizards keeping an eye on Oscar, because they know some people will try to get him killed before the tap of secrets is loosed open.
Now, out of all the 35 people that were in the building, only 5 had survived. They would also stand trial and reveal many secrets.
Oscar silently followed Magnus downstairs, where he was leg cuffed with the rest of his unconscious subordinates. His eyes looked dull and hopeless, he couldn't believe that all this was happening just because he dared to go against Magnus and wrote an article about him.
When Magnus went to the basement, he saw all the little kids had gotten up, they were not crying anymore, as Tom was a very good policeman, and showed them his ID. "See, I am really a cop. Do you hear all the sirens? They are coming to get you back home, don't worry, Me, my friend and this big brother of yours have defeated all the baddies."
Magnus waved to them and took out lots of candies from his expansion bag, "Hello, I am Magnus, you can call me big brother Magnus. Want candies?"
*STOMACH RUMBLE*
They were all hungry, so none of them said no. Magnus gave each of them two sweet and sour candies.
"Okay, now follow me and we will go outside, to wait for good people. Make a line, don't push." Magnus politely talked to them. All were younger than him, some by 1 and some by 3-4 years. Magnus's height made him look much older than them.
Slowly, they helped all the children out. Some were slightly injured with some scratches, so Adrian and Tom picked them up. As soon as they arrived outside, a lot of News Channels arrived with their vans, it was shocking that they were faster than the police.
Magnus was in the lead, with the youngest of the kids in his arms, the little girl was just 5 years old. She was continuously looking at Magnus' face.
"Big brother, you are so pretty... and warm..." she cutely hugged his neck like a koala.
Magnus chuckled as he remembered his primary school days when girls used to hold his hand because of his warm body.
"Really? I hope your dad doesn't get angry if he sees you praising me and not him."
She shook her head, "No, daddy catches baddies, but in-home he's mummy is the boss."
Magnus laughed, "Haha, what does your dad do?"
She looked confused, "Umm... he's... pros... prostitute?"
"Pfft... you mean prosecutor?" He corrected her, realising this was the daughter of the prosecutor, kidnapped yesterday. She didn't seem as scared, probably thinking her dad would find her soon.
*SIRENS*
Everything was being recorded on the cameras of the journalists. In a few more seconds, tens of police cars and ambulances arrived. Cops and paramedics rushed out of them to the kids.
Finally, seeing help, some children started crying, as some of them were here for weeks and had completely lost hope of being saved.
There were about 20 ambulances, all treating minor injuries of children. The police had made an encirclement around the area to make sure nobody trespasses. The news reporters though were allowed.
Adrian was a bigshot, the Assistant Commissioner that had arrived recognised him immediately. Now he knew how this case was solved by MEDA, but at least he was happy that a police Sergeant was also there so there was hope for saving the image of the police department, but then the kid confused him, Magnus was too out of place.
"HEY! Where are you taking me? I'm not one of those kidnapped kids!" Magnus protested as he was being dragged by some paramedics.
"You are so injured, look at all the blood." A doctor said.
"That's not my blood," Magnus replied with a straight face.
( ̄▽ ̄)
Tom quickly came to his rescue, "He's telling the truth. He's with me. Come Magnus, the Assistant Commissioner wants us to give an interview."
Magnus nodded and ran away from the medical worker.
...
Royal Military Hospital,
Grace was tired, she had just finished a very tough surgery. She changed her operation gown and went to the common hall for doctors.
Taking the food, she took a seat beside her colleagues. Most were juniors of hers, as she was the Head of the Department of Cardiology. But she didn't mind their ranks.
Just as she was about to take her first bite, her assistant said, "Ma'am, isn't that your son?"
With food still in her hand, she turned to the television, and there she saw him. Covered in dirt and blood, talking on the TV about saving some kids. The food fell from her hand and she got up immediately.
"I need to leave." She replied.
"I will come too," her assistant followed her, wanting to earn some good points with her boss.
_____________________
[A/N: A question must be in everyone's mind. "They don't find it weird that a kid is doing that?"
My answer: Adrian doesn't, as he knows about attacks on Magnus. And Wizard kids generally develop faster in the brain as they are constantly surrounded by dangers.
Tom does find it strange, but he's so shocked by the magic that it'll take him some time to realise the kind of crazy things Magnus has done.
Initially, I had written that Magnus would kill the last unconscious wizard by thrusting his sword in his chest. But then I felt it would be too much for him. So I edited it to make Adrian do it.
I'm aware that Magnus seems too young for what he's doing, but he's not normal, not even by the magical world's standards. I also continuously mention that he looks older than he's supposed to.
But, in tomorrow's chapter, you will again realise that he's still a kid, stuck in a problematic world, who's trying his best to do the right thing. It's not Magnus who's different, it's just that the world is too messed up.
The world will not know that Magnus killed people. In the official statement, his role will be of the person who found the missing children and then led Adrian and Tom there. At most, he just used his bat to save Tom and Adrian a few times but didn't kill anyone.
Tbh, I'm used to writing an old MC and I'm trying my best to portray a young character. But sometimes some words coming from Magnus' mouth seem too much for a kid and that's my fault. But, hopefully, as he will grow, you will stop feeling strange because it will become normal speech for a grown-up.]
