Compared to before, Wayne's magical talent has improved by a small level, and his dark magic defense (against white magic) has leaped to the SSS level. Even his proficiency in dark magic has reached the S rank. Unfortunately, his overall evaluation is still stuck at SS+, but Wayne isn't too disappointed.
As one's talent increases, the difference becomes even more pronounced. This reflects the saying, "Sometimes the gap between people is larger than the gap between humans and dogs."
"System, is there no strength evaluation along with the talent assessment?" After a moment, the system's prompt sound arrived.
[Strength attribute panel generated, for your reference. The strength positioning in the magical world is vague, and the evaluation provided by the system is for reference only.]
[In real wizarding battles, anything can happen.]
As the voice fell, Wayne's strength panel appeared before him.
[Host: Wayne Lawrence
Magic Power: 0.8 S (Snape)
Spells Mastered: Shatter Charm, Aquas Shield, Disarming Charm, Patronus Charm, Unforgivable Curse, etc.
(Abbreviated)
Strength Evaluation: Professor Level (Talent Fully Open)/ Elite Auror Level (Normal Strength)]
[System Strength Rankings: Student, Adult Wizard, Elite Wizard, Auror, Elite Auror, Professor, Grand Mage, Legend, Myth (Local)…]
Wayne had no doubts elsewhere and thought this evaluation was reasonable. The impact of his Dynamic Perception and Thunder Lord abilities on real combat was significant. With his current physical abilities, even a few professors from the academy couldn't handle him.
Right? Because spells couldn't hit him at all. The only thing that left him speechless was what this 0.8 S meant; was he a magical version of Kakashi? He wondered about the dignity of the teachers!
In the basement, Snape, who was researching Phoenix tears, sneezed.
The next day, the young wizards continued to discuss the thunderstorm from the previous night.
"It surely must have been a thunderbird passing over Hufflepuff," a Hufflepuff student declared confidently. "I once went to Arizona with my grandfather, and the valleys there were just like the thunder and lightning last night."
"I heard it was Dumbledore practicing magic," another young wizard offered a different opinion.
A Ravenclaw rebutted, "Impossible! How could such terrifying weather spells exist?"
"Maybe it was some other powerful magic…"
Wayne listened to their discussions while quietly drinking oatmeal and showed no intention of participating. After hearing about what happened last night, he realized it was highly likely that he was the cause. He hadn't expected that even hiding in the Room of Requirements could create disturbances in the outside world.
It seemed he would have to be careful when drawing cards in the future, always going there to do so. Reflecting on his reckless card-drawing in the dorm, he was just thankful he hadn't drawn the Thunder Lord's decree. Otherwise, he would have to give one shot each to Toby and Norman—a real disaster.
His two roommates, however, looked confused.
"What are you guys talking about?"
"Was there thunder last night?" Justin Finley asked Toby, looking puzzled.
"Did you not hear?"
"No," Toby replied blankly. "I just woke up when it was bright outside. What thunder and lightning? I have no idea."
Norman echoed: "Me too. I felt nothing. How about you, Wayne?"
"I actually saw it, but it disappeared shortly after; then I just went back to sleep."
