After reorganizing all the information he had about Death, Edward started to plan for the future. He does not trust Death; he does not even trust the contract that they had just signed.

Edward had the confidence to become one of the greatest wizards that ever lived in this world. And according to his calculations, this won't even take long.

At that time, no one would be able to stop him from doing what he wants--except for Death. As the literal embodiment of Death of this world, there are very few things that are even effective against him, let alone hurt him.

So, Edward decided to placate this powerful being by making it look like he was working for him. By making himself seem less threatening than he was.

As for the contract that they signed, Edward does not believe for even a second that this contract is binding to a being of Law. From the beginning, Edward planned to use his power to finish that Gate.

Of course, if he could not finish the Gate on his own, then the contract would be his last backup plan. Well, only if Death hold his side of the bargain

Of course, Edward will also take other precautions. The Invisible Cloak for example; is the only thing that could hide a person from the gaze of Death itself. Ignotus managed to live his entire life without being found by Death, so Edward must use this cloak for himself. Of course, that is only possible if someone knows the proper method to activate the cloak--otherwise, it is just a normal Invisible Cloak made by the hair of Demiguise.

Unfortunately for him, there are still some problems with his plan: and that was Dumbledore. Edward could foresee that the headmaster would know that he had borrowed the Cloak from Harry Potter. So, if he does not return it, things will become complicated.

So, Edward decided to create a fake to replace the real one. However, this plan is not simple as well given that he has to fool the greatest wizard of modern time.

And Edward had a plan, and it was a very simple one. All he had to do was to transfer some of the power of Law from either the Resurrection Stone or the Invisibility Cloak into the fake one.

That part was a little easier as Edward already knew how to activate the power inside the stone; this is how he managed to contact Death to make the deal with him.

The hard part was to find a material that could withstand the Death Laws. Although Death could place his powers on anything--a stone or branch--Edward was not him, so he needed specific material to accomplish the task.

As such, Edward spent the remaining Christmas vacation making a very powerful Invisible Cloak that could fool Dumbledore.

--Scene Break--

Edward entered his classroom and looked at all the students. The majority of them were still talking about their vacations, but they all quiet down after seeing the professor entering the room.

"Okay class," said Edward out loud. "Today, we are going to learn about Double Enchantments. Does anyone know what that is?"

The classroom instantly became quiet. However, a few seconds later, someone did raise their hand.

"Mr. Weasley, please answer the question."

"Huh, professor, I do not know what Double Enchantments is, I just had a question."

"Does your question have anything to do with our class," asked Edward calmly.

"I am afraid not. But it is a good question. And I am sure that many people are interested in hearing the answer.

"Fine, ask away, Mr. Weasley."

"Professor, during the holiday, I read the Yu-Gi-Oh comics that your company just recently released, and it was very exciting. I am wondering whether you are as good of a player as Yugi Muto?"

Edward's mouth almost twitched after hearing this question. Meanwhile, the entire classroom became noisy and excited after hearing Fred Weasley's question.

"That's a good question," added Lee Jordan. "I heard my father say that most people realized how terrible they were when it comes to playing Dueling Cards after the comic came out this Christmas--even international players. So, they started to model their decks after the characters in the comics."

Edward had to sigh secretly after hearing this. Lee Jordan was right. Most wizards were indeed terrible at the game--despite playing it for so long.

This was the main reason that Edward created a comic based on the original series to publish this past vacation. Of course, some things were changed in the process.

For example, Yugi Mutou and his friend were in fact wizards. Card Dueling was written as something only wizards could do. Edward did this to prevent these pure-blood families from finding excuses to fight with the Bones' family.

Of course, no one was aware of the fact that muggles could play Dueling Cards in the first place. To play the real-life version, Edward designed the Dueling Disks to use magic power as an energy source.

"Class, quiet down," said Edward after reigning in his mind. "To answer your question, yes, I am indeed as good as him, if not better. After all, I created the game." Edward had no shame for taking credit for such a thing and taking the position of both Maximillion Pegasus and Seto Kaiba.

"Professor, can you show us? Can you show us how good you are?" asked another Weasley. This time, however, it was George.

"If you guys want to see a powerful player, go play against my cousin, Susan. If any of you can manage to beat her, then I'll even let you choose any cards from my collection. As you can imagine, as the creator of Dueling Monsters, my deck has the rarest and most precious of cards.

"Now, let us get back to class."

Sorry about the late chapter, I had to focus on my other novel today as the end of the month is rapidly approaching. To make up for it, here is a Harry Potter joke I found on TikTok:

What did Ron Weasley say to Hermione at the Bar? He said: "Are you Dumbledore?" She looked at him and replied no. He said: "Oh, you look like a HEADMASTER." Comment down below if you got the joke.

章節 40: Teaching New Techniques in Class

___________________

"During the first semester, I have taught all of you how to do basic enchantments on different items. By now, the majority of you should be able to do the Levitation Enchantments, the Shield enchantment, the Lumos Enchantments, and a variety of other ones."

Edward pauses for a brief moment after saying that. Then, he looked at the entire class. Although the majority still had the excitement from his last declarations, they still paid attention to his class.

These students knew that although Professor Edward is usually easy to talk to when it comes to magic, he does not play around. So, they are usually in their best behaviors when he is teaching in class.

"Now, I am going to teach you guys Double Enchantments. As the name implied, it is to place two enchantments on the same item. These two enchantments can be the same kind or two different ones."

After saying that, Edward started a demonstration. He took out a metal plate, and with his Enchanting Quill, he wrote the word "Protego" on it. The words light up blue before vanishing from the metal. This simple metal had just turned into an Alchemy item--although the most basic kind.

Edward then waved his hand and another piece of metal appeared in front of him. He also wrote the incarnation "Protego" on it. However, he did it twice on the second piece of metal--the front and the back.

Taking out his wand, Edward pointed at the first alchemy item and said "Bombarda". A powerful light flew from his wand and hit the floating metal. Then, a semi-transparent shield appeared in front to protect it, but the shield only lasted three seconds before it was destroyed, along with the metal.

Immediately afterward, Edward pointed at the second floating metal and used the same spell.

A piece of light flew from the tip of his wand heading for the second metal. Just like previously, a semi-transparent shield appeared to protect the alchemy item. However, its ending was different from his brethren's.

After three seconds, when the shield was about to be destroyed, a second shield appeared, thus increasing the protective ability of the item.

"Class, just like you see, Double Enchantments of the same kind or Homogeneous Double Enchantments dramatically increase the strength of one enchantment."

The students became surprised and excited after seeing such a magical process. They all wished to immediately give it a try. However, Edward stopped them.

"Now, please be patient as I am also going to demonstrate another form of Double Enchantments, which is called Heterogeneous Double Enchantments. Although you guys will not have to try during today's class, it will be part of our learning syllabus for this semester."

After saying these words, Edward once again waved his wand and another plate flew from the desk on the corner of the room in front of him. He took out his quill and started writing.

He first wrote "Lumos" on one side, then "Incendio" on the other side. Then, he lightly threw the metal in the air.

A bright light flew out of it, followed by a bright flame. They each floated around each other; it was like they were planets orbiting one another.

"As all, you can see, Heterogeneous Double Enchantments can also mean to place two different kinds of enchantments on the same item."

All the students marveled at this rare view that took place on them. Throughout the first semester, the professor had always mentioned that Alchemy was a wondrous form of magic. And the students agreed with him.

In the past few months, they have learned so much about how to make different alchemy items. Although Alchemy still has the boring part of studying different types of magical metals and ores, understanding their properties, and how to properly mix them to get the best and most efficient metal for any alchemy item; everything else was fine.

On top of that, today they finally learned that what they have learned is truly only the tip of the iceberg.

Suddenly, one student raised their hand.

"Yes, Mr. Diggory. Any questions?"

"Professor, can you combine two different enchantments into a brand new one?"

"Yes," replied Edward while nodding. "This technique is referred to as Amalgam Enchantment."

With a wave of his hand, the alchemy item with two different enchantments flew on his hand. Then, with his enchanting quill, Edward drew a strange symbol on the metal.

The few students that are also taking the Study of Ancient Rune Class of Professor Babbling instantly knew this was the rune word "Ehwaz", meaning "partnership".

After Edward finished writing the rune, a brilliant light came from the metal. After that, something amazing appeared in front of the students' eyes.

The fire and light floating from the metal combined. The first thing that students noticed was the fact that the heat or temperature emanating from the fire was gone.

Then, the red fire turned white; and it was not a cotton white, but more of a transparent white. The light that the new fire emanated was a few times brighter than before; it was bright to the point that most students in the class had to raise their hands in front of their eyes.

In general, the white fire created by the amalgam of these two enchantments was truly beautiful; it seemed to bring a sense of joy and positivity to all the people in the classroom.

"Professor, would we be able to do that?" asked one excited student.

"As a matter of fact, yes," responded Edward with a smile on his face. "However, the Amalgam Enchantment will not be taught until your fourth year."

Although the students were not happy that they could not learn such amazing knowledge now, they were just as satisfied to be able to learn it next year.

"Professor, do we have to take the Study of Ancient Rune class to become an Alchemist?" suddenly asked one student with a worried look on her face.

"No, as long as you know the right rune to use, it will be fine. However, if any of you truly wished to study Alchemy and become accomplished in this field, then you must study and understand Ancient Runes.

"Are there any more questions?"

No one raised their hands this time, so Edward gave the signal for all of them to start their practice of Homogeneous Double Enchantment
