Chapter 127: Beatdown

"Until now I was only capable of appearing in the astral realm but now that you have this realm I can appear here as well. Now you face Celebrimbor , Lord of Eregion and son of Feanor!" The elf said aggressively before charging Nick. Focusing his thoughts Nick tried to shift the mindscape but he found it resisting him which caused his eyes to go wide before Celebrimbor punched him in the face again , hard. What came after this was a one sided beatdown where Nick tried to resist but was totally overwhelmed by his stronger , faster and more experienced opponent.-

The pain of each and every hit felt as if he truly was getting struck but faded away moments later only to be instantly replaced with more pain. Celebrimbor had long calmed down but still refused to stop beating the shit out of Nick because he had a goal in mind and it hadn't been achieved yet. This had turned to beating even more brutal as the elf sought to inflict as much pain as possible in as short a window as possible. Broken limbs , ruptured organs , torn out eyes , any physical injury you could think of by a person had been committed onto Nick.-

After three hours of this torment Nick finally started to turn desperate to retaliate in some way , any way to make the pain stop. Celebrimbor seemed to notice this and with a content smile finally backed off. The next attack that Nick expected simply didn't come and instead he heard "Now that you know the fear of injury go do something about it while I explore this fascinating realm." followed by foot steps leaving. Nick was left sprawled out on the ground not injured but certainly exhausted from the beatdown he had just received.-

'So that just happened.' he thought unusually calmly for someone who had just received the beating of a lifetime without being able to retaliate at all. "Fine then , I'll put this fear of yours to use but don't expect this to be the end of this matter." He said but if Celebrimbor heard him the elf didn't show any reaction as he walked into the distance. Nick left his mindscape with the mother of all headaches waiting for him and a gushing nosebleed. "Are you ok?" Helena asked concerned as such a thing tended to bode ill.-

"Yeah , I'll be fine in a bit." Nick said as he took a bottle of wiggenweld out of Greed and downed it to stop the bleeding. He then transfigured the blood out of his robes before standing up and pointing his wand in front of him "PROTEGO!" he spoke while remembering the desperate feeling of wanting the pain to end. At the end of his wand a small and flickering light blue barrier appeared. Nick smiled at this as he finally didn't need to worry so much about the spell as all subsequent cast would be much easier and stronger.-

Helena was surprised to dee him cast the spell at all even if it wasn't a very impressive example of it. "Well done!" she praised honestly and Nick shook his head with a bitter expression. "I wouldn't have been able to do it without someone else's help so it seems I owe them a favor , what a pain." Nick said honestly. He wasn't so ungrateful or stupid enough to not figure out that Celebrimbor had basically antagonized and beaten his mental self in order to provide guidance. Truthfully speaking he hadn't actually done anything of worth to Nick as in his own mind Nick was immortal and healed nearly instantly from any damage so besides being temporarily unpleasant this whole experience was totally harmless.-

The old elf was probably being honest when he said that Nick was neglecting his craftmanship in favor of magic but Nick couldn't really be blamed as magic was so useful for literally everything. It was also in most cases way easier as it didn't require copious amounts of personal knowledge to work. Still the fact remained that unlike Dumbledore the old elf hadn't violated his privacy or safety with his actions.-

Nick spent the rest of the day after that familiarizing himself with the Protego spell so that it wasn't basically magical tissue paper. It was slow going due to how magically intensive the spell was as he ran out of magical energy pretty fast casting the spell. 'So the reason they only teach it in the fourth year is because any sooner and you probably won't have enough energy to use it.' Nick noted seriously. This at the very least told him that his current limit for spells he could learn was within that range and let him save time experimenting to find it out.

Chapter 128: Thieving Steve

His friends were much more relaxed at dinner this time as he didn't have awful wounds all over his arms. "Did you already figure out how to use the shield charm Nick?" Ron asked in surprise. Nick nodded but a slight twitch of his eyebrow told Harry and Hermione not to ask how , Ron did not get that message though. "That's incredible! How'd you manage it without getting gnarled up like before?" he asked and Nick took a deep breath and repressed the urge to curse at the dense boy angrily and calmly said he'd rather not talk about it.-

Ron looked dissatisfied with this answer but before he could dig a deep hole to be buried in Harry changed the topic to the quidditch tactic Nick had suggested before. Apparently it had taken a bit but Harry had gotten the hang of performing the maneuver while at a full stop which represented initial mastery of it. Ron was full of praise for this as it was a very impressive thing for a nonprofessional player to do so maybe the scouters will start sending offers once they see it for themselves.-

Things moved on fairly normally after that with nothing of note until a week from then when Nick finally gained enough proficiency with the shield charm to shift the trajectory of spells so long as they weren't too powerful. With this level of knowledge he wanted to try and make backup disposable rings that held a single powerful shield that automatically protected it's wielder before breaking. These would be his bread and butter for the next step of his plan to popularize his name as a craftsman. With all the panic going around because of Grindelwald people would jump at the protective items since he planed to sell them at the cheap price of ten sickles.-

To put that into perspective this was about the price of a first years school books and with a minimum of five galleons a month for literally any wizarding job it was quite affordable in most cases. The only real problem came in the form of permission by the staff of Hogwarts and ministry of magic. The ministry was a piece of cake as Minister Fudge had been trying to curry favor with him for a while now , so a casual mention of it would get it approved in a hurry by the man.-

'The real problem is the Hogwarts staff. Dumbledore may agree as it is a good way to make people feel secure in their safety even if only a little. But the rest may take issue with me using the fear of others to make a profit , Mcgonagall especially.' Nick thought seriously as he played with the niffler that had somehow made it's way into his workshop. Nifflers were small creatures that had bodies similar to that of a hedgehog but bigger at the size of a cat. They had buck billed mouths and large dark eyes as well as a pouch on their bellies that had an expanded space in it.-

The most well known thing about them however was how they were notoriously greedy to the point of there being actual cases of them stealing from dragons. They were unrepentant thieves and extremely good at sniffing out and filching any treasure nearby regardless of whether it was a good idea or not. This particular niffler had been trapped in the workshop by Helena after trying to steal one of the gold ingots Nick had stacked up against the wall.-

It had a black fur color and light brown eyes and tried to act pathetic when Nick finally walked into the room. Nick took a liking to the little thief and offered lembas bread in exchange for not having his stuff stolen , an agreement the niffler accepted after trying some of the bread. Nick had brought the creature to Hagrid the first chance he got but the half giant wasn't familiar with this particular niffler as the one he took care of had brown fur and black eyes. After that the niffler who Nick named thieving Steve had pretty much followed Nick everywhere.-

Strangely enough Mcgonagall was in quite taken with the greedy thing and spoiled it rotten with cookies whenever Nick had class. 'Then again it's not just her either , literally almost all the girls who see the bastard fawn all over it. I admit he's kinda cute but this is nuts.' Nick thought looking at the pile of sweets stacked up neatly in Steve's personal corner of the workshop. That corner had a magical birdbath , dog bed and blankets alongside his horde of ill gotten loot. Most of it was comprised of coins but there was hair pins , brooches and even a silver spoon for some reason.
