Bab 3: Opening the First Treasure Chest, Am I Just a Squib Muggle?
"That wasn't anything valuable! Don't ask anymore!"
"Now tell me, what's going on with you?"
"The doctor said you're malnourished, and you fainted from hunger. Why weren't you eating? Are you a picky eater? That's not good. You need to eat both vegetables and fruits."
Hermione blinked, her brown eyes filled with curiosity.
In her world, the idea of not being able to get food didn't exist. It was more about whether one wanted to eat or not.
So she didn't understand why Cro would faint from hunger.
Cro froze for a moment when he heard this. Then he lowered his head, putting on a sorrowful expression.
"I'm... an orphan. The orphanage that took me in went bankrupt three days ago because of the pressure."
"They couldn't afford to take care of so many children, and since I'm already ten years old and can fend for myself, I didn't want to be a burden on them."
"If I gave my share of food to my younger siblings, they could eat more."
"But after I left, I couldn't find a job and ended up wandering the streets until I met you."
[Detected: Strong Sympathy Emotion!]
[Today's Treasure Chest Limit for This Target Reached!]
…
"So that's why... I'm sorry for bringing it up. I was just curious."
"Oh right, you must be very hungry now, right? These are some snacks my mom made. Have a little to fill your stomach."
"I'll go tell my parents you're awake. Wait here for me!"
Hermione looked at Cro with an apologetic expression.
Seeing his thin, pale face, she hurriedly handed over the plate of delicate snacks on the table and placed it beside him thoughtfully.
After softly reminding him a few things, she rushed out the door, not forgetting to close it behind her.
Cro picked up a snack and shook his head with a smile.
"As expected, Hermione is the kindest of the trio. Beautiful and kind, just as I thought!"
"She's a real treasure girl. We've barely known each other, and she's already given me three treasure chests."
"Oh, right. System, I want to open the chests!"
Cro put down the cookie, rubbing his hands together in excitement.
What could be inside these chests?
This is a magical world, after all.
If it's just some ordinary money, I might cry in the bathroom.
[You currently have one Bronze Chest, two Silver Chests, and one Gold Chest. Which one would you like to open?]
"Open the Bronze first, then the Silver, and finally the Gold!"
"Open them all for me!"
Cro's face was full of anticipation as he spoke without hesitation.
[Ding! Congratulations on opening the Bronze Chest. You have received the spell: Levitation Charm!]
[Levitation Charm Lv1: Can levitate objects. The size of the object depends on the level of the charm.]
As Cro absorbed the information about the Levitation Charm, excitement spread across his face.
Even though it was just a beginner-level spell, it was still magic!
The magic of legendary wizards!
"Keep going! Open both Silver Chests!"
"If the Bronze Chest gives spells, the Silver should give something better, and who knows what the Gold one will have!"
Cro eagerly rubbed his hands again.
[Congratulations on opening the Silver Chest. You have received the talent: Photographic Memory!]
[Congratulations on opening the Silver Chest. You have received: 500 Galleons!]
[Photographic Memory: Greatly enhances your memory. You can remember everything with a single glance!]
[500 Galleons: Currency in the wizarding world. Can be exchanged for British pounds at a 1:5 ratio.]
"So this is what Photographic Memory feels like? My memories are much clearer now."
Cro closed his eyes in enjoyment. The Photographic Memory talent brought a refreshing sensation to his brain.
Memories that had been fuzzy were now crystal clear.
He could even recall tiny details with perfect clarity.
After a while of enjoying the experience, Cro turned his attention to the second reward.
"Five hundred Galleons… better than nothing, I guess. At least it solves the money problem."
Looking at the glittering pile of Galleons in the system's inventory, Cro reluctantly comforted himself.
It's not that he didn't need money.
In fact, he needed it a lot, especially Galleons, the currency of the wizarding world.
But getting Galleons from a treasure chest felt a bit…
Hard to describe.
…
"Keep going! Time for the Gold Chest! Let's see what it holds!"
"Maybe a big surprise or a baby dragon? I wouldn't mind either. If I get both, that'd be even better!"
"Golden Chest, open!!"
Cro watched the golden chest slowly open on the screen in front of him, filled with anticipation.
[Congratulations on opening the Gold Chest. You have received the profession: Wizard!]
[Wizard Lv1: Awakens your magical power and allows you to use magic, officially becoming a wizard!]
Feeling the mysterious power surging into his body, Cro's eyes widened in shock.
"My Golden Chest just gave me this? What about the big surprise? Where's my magical creature?"
"Oh, right. I didn't have a magical outburst before, so I wasn't a Muggle or a Squib."
"So, I got spells earlier but didn't have any magic power to use them? You should've told me sooner!"
After grumbling a few words, Cro suddenly realized something.
He hadn't experienced any magical outburst before, which meant he really had been a Muggle or a Squib!
Cro's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
