Next, Kyle sat in the common room, keeping an eye on the Marauder's Map.

About ten minutes later, Quirrell's name finally appeared on the Marauder's Map.

Kyle's eyes lit up and he stood up and left the common room.

On the Marauder's Map, Quirrell did not go to the auditorium, but instead walked around the castle in a big circle.

Kyle followed behind him all the way, but in order to avoid being discovered, there was a corridor between the two of them... or rather, the three of them.

Anyway, I have the live map in my hand, so I am not afraid of getting lost.

After going around in circles, Quirrell finally stopped. Kyle looked around and hid in an empty classroom nearby.

A few minutes later, Quirrell's name began to move rapidly towards the auditorium.

After making sure that he had gone far away, Kyle immediately left the empty classroom, walked through an empty side corridor in front, and hurried to where Quirrell had stayed before.

As soon as he turned the corner, a foul odor hit Kyle's nostrils.

The smell was even more intoxicating than the potion that Mikel had brewed. Even though Kyle was prepared, he was still blinded by the smell.

Then he heard a low grunt and the sound of huge feet dragging on the ground.

Not far in front of Kyle, a giant creature that was twelve feet tall was moving towards him.

Its skin was dull and gray like granite, and it had a small walnut-shaped head on top, which made it look huge and stupid.

In addition, its short legs are as thick as tree stumps, and underneath are large, flat feet with rough calluses.

The disgusting stench came from it.

Kyle recognized it immediately; this big guy was the giant monster he was looking for.

And it is the largest mountain monster.

"I'm rich!" Kyle took two steps forward excitedly.

Kyle's movement was naturally noticed by the troll, which roared and quickened its pace.

Since they were running in both directions, the man and the giant monster soon met each other.

The giant roared again, then raised the wooden stick in his hand, as if he wanted to smash away the ant that was blocking his way.

"Wait a minute, I can take you to eat!" Kyle said loudly.

This shout was very effective. The troll stopped moving immediately. He tilted his walnut-like head and tried hard to think about what the sentence meant.

"You're hungry, I'll take you to eat!"

Kyle repeated.

"Have a meal!"

This time, the troll understood.

It dropped the stick and uttered a series of incomprehensible grunts.

"Yes, let's eat!" Kyle endured the stench and tried his best to show his friendly side. He said word by word: "Come with me, I'll take you there!"

He tried to take a step back, but the troll immediately followed him.

"It's done!"

Kyle was delighted and quickly took out a box, opened it and put it on the ground.

Next, just find an opportunity to let the troll step on the box.

Kyle held his breath and took two steps back again.

…

But at this moment, an accident occurred.

"ah!"

A shrill scream caused the troll to put down its foot instantly.

It turned around awkwardly, blinking stupidly, trying to see what made the sound.

Soon it saw it was a small brown dot.

"ah!!"

Hermione screamed even louder when she saw that the troll had discovered her.

The troll hit his head with his palm in pain. In his ugly little eyes, Hermione gradually turned into a round, evil bird.

In an instant, the troll's sanity disappeared.

It forgot about Kyle's presence and started walking towards Hermione.

"I……"

"***!"

The Kyles were numb.

She is in the bathroom... Why is she coming out? Can't she cry for a while longer?!

Kyle pounded the wall in frustration and chased after it, shouting words like "eat" and "food" to try to attract the troll's attention again.

In any case, he certainly couldn't just watch Hermione die.

But for some reason, the troll seemed to have identified Hermione, and no matter what Kyle said, it turned a deaf ear to him.

What's worse is that Hermione, who was trying to escape, lost her legs due to fear and fell to the ground.

She huddled against the wall and looked like she might faint at any moment.

The troll approached her step by step, raising the wooden stick in his hand as he walked.

"What is going on?"

Kyle sighed and raised his wand.

"Wingardium Leviosa!"

The stick suddenly flew out of the troll's hand, rose high into the air, then slowly turned around and fell down and hit its owner on the head.

With a loud bang, the giant monster swayed on the spot, then fell face down on the ground with a loud bang, shaking the entire corridor.

Hermione sat there, stunned, and asked, "Is it...dead?"

"Bah, bah, bah, how can you repay kindness with enmity!"

Kyle walked over quickly and checked the condition of the troll.

Fortunately, there is still a heartbeat.

Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.

If possible, he really didn't want to use this method.

Although the troll is stupid, it can at least understand what he says. Who knows if this blow will destroy its little intelligence.

That was not the result Kyle wanted to see.

But there is no point in saying this now.

Kyle summoned the box on the ground and was about to stuff the troll into it, but after thinking it over, he took out his wand first.

"Whirlwind sweeps away!"

"Clean it up!"

After casting several cleansing spells in succession, the troll became much cleaner and the stench was much lighter.

Kyle originally wanted to continue, but the sudden sound of messy footsteps not far away made him give up the idea, and he hurriedly stuffed the troll into the box.

"Remember, you didn't see anything." Kyle looked at Hermione and said seriously, "There was no troll. You fell accidentally. Do you understand?"

Hermione stared and nodded dumbly.

"very good."

Kyle carried the box and helped Hermione up as if nothing had happened.

"Hermione!"

"Thank God you're here!"

On the other side of the corridor, Harry and Ron ran over quickly.

"There's a giant monster in the basement classroom!"

Harry gasped, "Headmaster Dumbledore asked us all to go back to the dormitory. You... um? Kyle, you're here too?"

"Yes, I was just about to go to the Great Hall and I happened to run into Miss Granger here."

Kyle asked with a smile: "You just said that there is a troll in the underground classroom? What is going on? How could there be a troll in Hogwarts?"

"Yes, I'm not kidding, I promise."

Ron said quickly, "Professor Quirrell told us. He fainted at the Halloween party."

"Really... that's really dangerous."

Kyle said seriously, "We can't deal with the giant monster. I'm leaving now. You guys should go back to the tower."

Hermione didn't say a word the whole time. She just stared at Kyle, shocked beyond words.

This calm expression, calm tone...

If she hadn't just experienced everything, she would definitely believe that what Kyle said was true.

Why is he so skilled?

Is this person really the top student in the grade?
