Chapitre 154: Crazies.
Loki's head brimmed with calculations and possibilities as he began to find solutions to several of his earlier problems.
The first thing that Loki paid attention to however was his matter concerning the Aurora Order.
'They probably learnt about me by using some special divination or item or 'Adam' might have revealed something about me to them.'
'And given how I haven't used the identity of Gehrman Sparrow to trouble the Aurora Order, yet, it likely means that I will be a thorn in their side in the future. Probably stopping or going against whatever it is they are planning right now.'
Loki *sighed* gently and closed his eyes to rest a little as his thoughts drifted until they reached a peculiar pause at a random question.
'Given how I can't leave Hogwarts during the next year, what exactly are they planning on doing at the Hogwarts castle that I have become their enemy?'
Loki tried pondering and using his supercomputer brain to think about it but he couldn't get past a certain roadblock without more information, "What exactly are they planning to do?"
'I remember Mr. A telling me in the first year that him coming to Hogwarts had a different purpose, other than finding me of course, so is it related to that?'
"I don't have enough information." Loki sighed. "But maybe I can gain more by ranking higher in the organisation?"
"But how do I rank higher? It's not like I can become a Beyonder of the Hanged Man pathway?"
Loki closed his eyes and thought of a few possibilities and ended up with one of them, "Maybe I can provide them information about Gehrman Sparrow and gauge their reactions to learn something from it?"
"Hmm...we'll see." Loki nodded and moved on to the next things that were holding his attention.
Loki finally turned around and pulled his wand out.
With barely a flick, Loki spoke "Velox Acus!" and caused a bright white flash to emerge from the tip of his wand that resulted in a thin, pointed whirling storm of wind charged with lightning and frost flying out of his wand and hitting the target opposite to him.
Immediately, the centre of the target exploded, sending shards of wood and pieces of hay everywhere inside the room while the rest of it froze and became encased in a thin transparent ice block.
"Damn, that's good!" Loki exclaimed as he observed the damage that had resulted from his spell.
The spell's mastery had been boosted not only by the increase in his mental capabilities but also by the increased spirituality that had resulted as a bonus from drinking the Sequence 7 Cryptologist Potion.
He was finally able to cast the spell with barely a flick of his wand and was also at the same time overpowering it with much more spirituality so that he could break through any physical obstacle that tried to stop it.
With a flick of his wand, several spheres of light emerged from Loki's wand and floated around the room he was currently standing in.
And with another flick, the lights in the room dimmed making the spheres the only sources of light in the room, giving it an ethereal and celestial feeling.
'Ha! Finally! After so long! I can finally perform spells without any wand movement!' Loki exclaimed overjoyed that all his hard work for the past few years had culminated into a fruitful outcome.
Especially since the potion had improved his control over spirituality and had allowed him to cast spells without having to perform wand movements, giving him a final push.
'But damn! I know it was possible because of all my hard work till now, but I was only able to fully master the method of moulding spirituality outside my body because of consuming the potion.'
'*sigh* Beyonders really do have an unfair advantage in magic.'
'Haha~ I wonder what would happen if Mione learnt about it. What pathway Beyonder would she become in the first place? Hermit? Or perhaps Paragon?'
With his experiment done, Loki sat down on his chair as he pondered his troubles with the Aurora Order once again deeply.
'Given how I want to get close to the higher-ups in Aurora Order, I'm sure any information I give them will be verified with the help of the others who are spying for them at Hogwarts so I need to make sure I can learn of their identities so that I can fool them.'
'But how do I learn of their identities?'
'I know how they behave, their posture, gait and breathing patterns, but I still don't know their faces.'
'Will I be able to divine their identities?'
'Doesn't hurt to try though.' Loki thought and slipped into the Sefirah Castle and tried out a few divinations to reveal their identities.
Loki's vision shifted as he first saw a girl in his vision who was looking at the full-body mirror in her house. She was dressed in a black robe and had on her face an iron mask.
The girl scanned herself for a while before slowly pulling down her mask as she revealed her face.
The girl had a thin sickly face. Her eyes carried a sense of craze, and her long thin limbs felt like they were twitching to do something crazy.
Loki looked at the mirror in the room and spotted one of her textbooks open to the first page.
'This book belongs to, Mary Jackson.'
The vision shifted once again and this time Loki was greeted by a boy in a bunk bed. He had his eyes open as he stared at the rungs holding up the mattress above him like a corpse. The boy didn't move for a full minute despite someone calling him.
"Hey, Freaky Frank! Can't you listen to me!?"
"Freaky Frank!"
"Freaky Frank!!!!"
Finally, when the voice got loud enough, the boy's eyes shifted to look at the girl looking at him as his face broke out into a kind smile.
"I'm sorry I didn't know pigs could speak."
Loki's vision shifted again as he finally spotted a well-fed boy looking at a cauldron that was on top of a fire. The potion inside was bubbling and swirling as the boy used a ladle to scoop some of it and pour it into bottles.
When he was done with it all, he smiled dangerously before pulling a rat out of a cage. He forcefully fed one of the rats the potion as it began to *screeeecchh* in pain, shouting for help but the boy just stood by and watched.
Loki saw a letter on the boy's experiment table directed to him.
"Enclosed in the letter are your OWL's Mr. Crampton…"
Loki's vision broke there and he woke up.
Inside the silent Sefirah Castle Loki drummed the table with his fingers as he thought about what he'd just seen.
'Hmm…so they are all crazy people…how am I the most normal of all of them? And if they're all Beyonders…this might be dangerous…should I avoid them since I don't have any direct means of attack other than magic?'
'Perhaps there's a way to play around them…'
'I could try observing their movements with the Marauder's map, but that wouldn't help much unless they're doing something like Tom was last year.'
