Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

“To use the [Staff of the Angel], your Intelligence stat must be at least ★★★, so you’ll probably have to work hard. Besides, it’s not yours right now.” Anduin didn't give Malfoy any face, directly placing the staff back on the display stand.

After Anduin's scolding, Malfoy finally realized that the staff he had held earlier was actually someone else's collection.

“Sigh… what a letdown.” Malfoy scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed and disappointed. He had never seen a prop as beautiful as the [Staff of the Angel], which had made him lose his composure for a moment.

However, Anduin didn't indulge Malfoy's temper. He turned his head to look at Harry, who had been constantly wandering around the collection room and had now stopped in front of a display stand.

The alchemical equipment that Harry noticed was also a weapon. Anduin found that these boys seemed to have a great preference for weapons, whether axes, longswords, or staffs.

The weapon that Harry was looking at was a metal hammer, about thirty centimeters long overall. The handle was of moderate thickness, wrapped in a tight layer of leather like the [Meteorite]. The bright silver hammerhead was very large, looking like a polished cuboid.

Several faces of the hammerhead were now covered with faint blue, obscure magical runes, and occasionally, wisps of electric arcs could be seen suddenly erupting, giving people a feeling of pent-up pressure just by looking at it.

As soon as Harry saw this hammer, he immediately thought of the [Lightning Spirit] within him. He could see a faint connection between the two, so he was very interested in observing it. He couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but he was intimidated by the electric arcs emitted from the hammer, so he hesitated.

“If you want to touch it, be bold and try,” Anduin saw through Harry's thoughts. “In its unactivated state, it won’t cause fatal harm to people. Of course, if someone who hasn't been recognized by it touches it, they will still be attacked, and it might hurt a little.”

“Yes, thank you, Professor.” Encouraged by Anduin, Harry plucked up his courage and reached out his hands, tentatively trying to grip the hammer handle.

Just as Harry's hand was about to touch it, a layer of plasma suddenly seeped out from the hammer, completely enveloping the hammerhead, and some of it even stained his hand.

Harry was startled by this sudden change, but he soon realized that these thick plasma didn't seem to cause him any harm. Instead, they playfully stuck to his hands, and finally even adsorbed his hands onto the hammer handle.

“Oh?” Anduin raised his eyebrows in surprise at this scene.

He didn't expect that the highly specific [Wild Lightning] wouldn't reject Harry? This was rare. It seemed that Harry, like himself, had a good affinity with the lightning element.

After experiencing this change, Harry didn't understand what it meant. He just wondered, didn't Professor Wilson just say that he would be attacked? But he didn't seem to feel anything wrong.

Shaking his head in confusion, Harry then exerted force to remove the hammer from the display stand, standing it in front of him to quietly observe.

“Congratulations, it seems the [Thunder God's Hammer] has recognized you.” Anduin smiled and patted Harry on the head. After so many years, this was the first time he had direct contact with the son of his old friend.

“Its name is [Thunder God's Hammer]? I feel that the lightning it emits is scary, but it doesn't seem to reject me.” Harry watched the plasma emanating from the Thunder God's Hammer spread over his body. Apart from some numbness, he didn't feel any discomfort.

“Yes, the lightning on the Thunder God's Hammer is very picky. People who are not recognized by it will find it difficult to even touch it, let alone lift it. It seems you have a great affinity with it.” Anduin smiled gently. This was another surprise he had received after Neville.

“Very picky? Do legendary items have their own personalities?” Harry's understanding of alchemical items was very superficial, and he looked up at Anduin in confusion.

“The lightning on it is very picky.” Anduin smiled and took the Thunder God's Hammer from Harry, explaining to him in detail, “This is the second piece of equipment I've created after many years of trying that can perfectly activate [Wild Lightning]. It means a lot to me.”

“The special lightning contained within the [Thunder God's Hammer] is more violent than ordinary lightning, and it places higher demands on the user. In addition to its destructive power far exceeding other elemental runes, [Wild Lightning] also has two extremely polarized characteristics: [Annihilation] and [Vitality]. The former possesses unparalleled destructive power, while the latter can bring enhancement to the user.”

Anduin's familiarity with and research on [Wild Lightning] has never stopped since he obtained it. It is precisely because of the blessing of [Wild Lightning] that he has gained overbearing combat power and physical fitness.

After so many years, Anduin has not found any wizard other than himself who can normally use [Wild Lightning]. As a primitive rune, it is actually more unruly than [Fiendfyre].

So seeing [Wild Lightning] accept Harry was a surprise in itself. The [Thunder God's Hammer] was not so important.

“So, [Wild Lightning] is the special function of the [Thunder God's Hammer]?” Harry didn't really understand Anduin's explanation, but he saw that the equipment selected by the others had various magical characteristics, so he naturally thought so.

“No, [Wild Lightning] is just a special rune. You can think of it as a powerful magic.” Anduin shook his head kindly. “In addition to being able to drive [Wild Lightning] to a certain extent, this [Thunder God's Hammer] also has several other very practical functions.”

“For example, the attached remote magic [Lightning Strike]!”

Anduin raised the [Thunder God's Hammer] in his hand high, and then the hammer flashed with a light blue magical aura. Immediately afterward, a thick lightning bolt appeared out of thin air, heavily striking the open space about twenty meters away from the crowd. The sound and vibration of the distance startled everyone.

“And [Return to Nothingness], which comes with the ‘Accio’ effect.”

After saying that, Anduin threw the Thunder Hammer in his hand forcefully in a certain direction, and then the [Thunder God's Hammer] transformed into a lightning cannonball, blasting out with terrifying power.

After a while, Anduin raised his hand high again, and then the others saw the Thunder Hammer flying back along the original path, accurately landing in his hand.

“Wow!”

After seeing this scene, not only Harry, but the others couldn't help but exclaim in unison. This Thunder Hammer was too cool.

“This is just a part of its functions. It has many wonderful uses in actual combat, but the space here is limited, so I can't demonstrate them to you one by one.” Anduin smiled and gently tossed the Thunder Hammer, then held it upside down and put it back on the display stand.

“Although it doesn't reject you, using the [Thunder God's Hammer] is still too difficult for you right now. You need to reach at least ★★★ in physique and strength, and ★★★★ in intelligence to use it normally.” Anduin smiled and rubbed Harry's hair.

Next, Anduin took the others on a tour of the collection room, explaining to them other alchemical items.

For example, the [Aqua-Lung], which allows people to breathe and cast spells normally underwater and will soon be mass-produced and distributed to the Auror forces.

The [Assault Breastplate], which can comprehensively enhance the physical functions of wizards after wearing it.

The [Medusa's Shield], which has a terrifying shape and can emit petrifying rays, and so on.

These magical alchemical items made Harry and the other young wizards dazzled and also gave them a new definition of legendary items in their minds.

“How about it, do you like these little gadgets?” After leading everyone on a tour, Anduin looked at everyone with a smile.

“Like them! I like them so much.” Ron was the most excited at this time. He couldn't wait to take all these legendary items for himself immediately.

“These items can't be considered little gadgets, they are simply works of art!” Hermione also seemed very excited at this time, which was completely different from her previous attitude.

The others also nodded repeatedly. They hoped that Professor Wilson in front of them would wave his hand and generously give them a few items.

“Just liking them is useless.” Anduin suddenly put on a straight face. “I can give you permission to use these items, but there are conditions.”

“What conditions?” Seeing Anduin suddenly become serious, the others immediately looked at him nervously. After seeing the good stuff, it was not so easy for them to give up.

“To use them, you must meet two basic conditions with me.” Anduin held out two fingers. “First, you must meet the minimum usage standards for these items. For the items you like the most, you must have at least ★★★ basic stats. Under normal circumstances, you will have to wait until at least the 5th grade, so if you want to use them as soon as possible, you have to work hard.”

“Secondly, I will only open the collection to the most outstanding students under me.” Anduin smiled slightly. “Fali was able to get my item because she has proven herself to be good enough.”

And she is now an intern at the Silver Flash Merchant Guild. That thing is actually an employee benefit. Anduin added in his heart, of course, he would not say it in front of everyone.

“Then how do we prove ourselves?” Hermione immediately asked excitedly when she heard this. She was not afraid of challenges at all.

“Well…” Anduin paused, then slowly said, “I plan to open a ‘Tactical Club’ in a month to screen students who meet my standards to enter. Those who can be selected for the club will learn more advanced ‘Tactical Training’ content, and it will also be considered as being recognized by me.”

“Then what are your so-called standards for joining the ‘Tactical Club’?” Hermione was still the most active one.
