Chapter 376 Christmas Secret Meeting

Christmas vacation is finally here. This Christmas at Hogwarts can be said to be the most deserted in the past hundred years.

Because all the students who have a home to return to, they chose to go home to spend Christmas without hesitation. No one wants to stay in Hogwarts and continue to face Umbridge's stinky face every day.

Harry and Mike did not choose to stay in school, but the difference is that the former did not choose to stay in school just because he had to take care of the injured Mr. Weasley with the three Weasley brothers in St. Mungo's to relieve his guilt - Harry thought that Mr. Weasley's attack was largely to blame on him.

As for the latter, Mike is no longer the lonely man when he first crossed over. Now he not only has a group of partners in the Freemasons, but also has an elder like Professor Flitwick. Naturally, Christmas will be spent with them.

Of course, the most important reason is because of Penelope.

In the past few months, Mike and Penelope have not seen each other for a long time due to work reasons, which makes Penelope very dissatisfied.

This time, he finally got a vacation, so of course he had to comfort his girlfriend.

However, what Mike didn't expect was that shortly after the Christmas vacation began, Victor, who had not appeared for a long time, found him and made a strange request to him.

In the magic spell training field of the Freemasonry Secret Realm, Mike and Victor were standing opposite each other.

Mike was wearing a dark black combat uniform used exclusively by the Freemasons, while Victor opposite him was shirtless. His exposed muscles reflected a strange light under the illumination of the magic lights on the ceiling of the training square, and there was even a faint stream of light flashing inside.

At the edge of the training field, Arthur, Penelope and other Freemasons were looking at the two people in the square nervously. Among them, Benjamin was holding a laptop and kept typing on it while observing the two people.

"Is Victor crazy?" Franklin looked at Victor, who was solemnly standing in the square, with an expression like he was looking at a fool. "He can use other methods to test the data of the new machine. Why does he have to find Mike for actual combat testing? Isn't this courting death?"

Hearing this, Benjamin looked at Victor deeply, and the action of typing on the keyboard with his hands was also choked.

As someone who has been with Victor for a long time, he can actually understand Victor's psychology very well - Victor is actually very anxious.

Mike gave him great support in the process of body mechanical transformation.

This touched Victor very much, but it is not so easy to open up a new field after all.

Victor is a proud person.

But now people like them who concentrate on studying ordinary conventional combat methods such as spells or potions have made great progress in combat power, but Victor has been standing still, which makes him very anxious and eager to prove himself.

But even so, isn't it too reckless to directly find Mike as a test subject? You

must know that Mike's strength is completely a monster-level existence in the eyes of everyone!

Thinking of this, Benjamin's eyes also showed a trace of worry.

While Benjamin was thinking about it, Victor, who was standing on the field, started to move.

There was only the sound of the engine turning, and Victor's knees and other leg joints wrapped in black trousers emitted bursts of blue light.

Then, Victor turned into a residual image and rushed straight towards Mike at a very fast speed!

"This speed! It's almost catching up with me!"

Arthur's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, but at this moment Victor did not stop. His upper body was constantly deforming while running. First, a mechanical creation similar to a tail stretched out from behind him. The tip of the tail was a brown magic wand, which was constantly moving in the air with Victor's running.

These sliding tracks seem brainless, but if you look closely, you can find that it is actually dancing according to a certain pattern.

At the same time, Victor's empty arms also changed.

His right hand had disappeared, replaced by a sword that flashed with cold light, and his left hand had become a cannon barrel, which was brewing the same blue light.

"Swish! Swish!"

With two sounds of breaking through the air, two beams of light, one red and one blue, shot out from the cannon barrel in Victor's left hand and the tail behind him, respectively, and flew towards Mike.

Seeing this, Penello and others at the edge of the square all exclaimed, because the speed of the two beams was too fast, almost beyond the limit that the naked eye could capture.

However, the next moment, their exclamations were stuck.

Because at the moment when the two beams were about to hit, Mike's right hand holding the magic wand gently waved, and then a powerful and terrifying magic power burst out from the magic wand.

Victor's attack was like a drop of water falling into the sea in this powerful magic power, and it disappeared silently after rippling a small circle of ripples.

Benjamin was so shocked that he couldn't speak at this moment, because he specialized in studying spells and potions and knew very well what Mike had just done.

That is not a defensive technique at all, but a pure release of magic power!

Generally, such a defensive method will only appear in two wizards with quite different strengths, just like a professor fighting a student. Only when the opponent's magic power level is low enough, or the opponent's own magic power is high enough, can the opponent's attack be easily resolved.

But is Victor's magic power level really low?

No!

As a person who takes care of Victor's life, Benjamin knows Victor's magic power level very well.

Although Victor has been studying human body machinery, because he is still in the developmental stage, the magic power level in his body is still rising. It

is not weaker than himself and others.

Then there is only one answer left-Mike has become stronger than they can guess!

Just when several people at the edge of the square were shocked, Victor had already approached Mike, and his right hand turned into a sharp sword and chopped at Mike without hesitation, but this sword was blocked by another sharp sword-a spare sword of Mike.

Seeing that Mike did not use the holy sword to deal with him, Victor's expression became even more ferocious. He put the barrel of the gun in his left hand against Mike's chest and began to accumulate energy again.

Seeing this, Mike's eyes flashed with surprise. Of course, he was not surprised that Victor was so cruel, but that Victor had not shown any signs of fatigue until now.

Combined with the research report submitted by Victor, Mike actually had a certain understanding of Victor's fighting style.

Victor's body was equipped with multiple high-power alchemical engines, energy storage cannons, transforming swords, and a "tail" directly connected to the nerves, which could wave the wand and transfer magic power autonomously.

This made his fighting style extremely special, a combination of speed and strength.

And such a body requires a huge amount of energy.

In order to keep the body highly flexible, Victor did not choose to pretend to be everyone's energy pendant, but chose to charge it completely with the magic power in his body.

But Victor is not like himself who has encountered many adventures. As a wizard who has not yet reached adulthood, the magic content in his body is not much. Continuously using energy storage cannons, which consume a lot of energy, Victor should feel very tired.

Thinking of this, Mike looked at Victor's face again.

Victor was gritting his teeth, and cold sweat was constantly appearing on his forehead. Mike immediately

understood what was going on - Victor was holding on!

Mike's expression became serious, and he decided to end the battle quickly.

He waved his right wand again, and a ball of magic power that was almost visible to the naked eye gushed towards Victor. At the same time, Mike's left hand was not idle either. His fingers silently drew a semicircle in the air, and he was muttering:

"Confuse the audience!"

"Bang!"

There was a bang, and Victor flew backwards at a faster speed than when he came, fell heavily to the ground, and slid on the ground for nearly five meters before he stopped.

Victor raised his dusty face and looked at the figure who was still standing quietly in the distance, his heart full of despair.

Mike was really too strong, so strong that it was amazing and desperate!

But can he really give up like this?

Victor questioned himself in his heart, but the next moment, he had already got the answer.

No! I can't give up like this!

"Disarm you!"

Victor shouted with all his strength, and at the same time, the tail behind him twisted, and a particularly strong red light gushed out from it!

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came, and the disarming spell shot from the tip of Victor's staff did not shoot at Mike, but fell on Victor himself!

Victor was knocked away again, his face full of confusion.

And Franklin and others at the edge of the field were equally unbelievable. From their perspective, Victor just cast a disarming spell on himself, and it was a super powerful one.

So the question is, is Victor really the kind of waste who can't even confuse the target of attack?

Of course not!

You know, before joining the Freemasons, Victor was a famous combat elite! The first place in the Monster Hunting Competition!

"It's the Confusion Spell!" Benjamin sighed and explained, "Just now, the moment Victor and Mike touched each other, Mike cast the Confusion Spell on Victor's wand, so his wand can't distinguish between friend and foe!"

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and at the same time Mike came to Victor's side and stretched out his hand to Victor, who was lying on the ground in a very embarrassed state.

"Get up."

Listening to Mike's gentle words in front of him and looking at his sunny smile, Victor sighed deeply.

"I really admire you!"

The two hands were clasped together in mid-air, and Benjamin and others at the edge of the venue also smiled when they saw this.

"Master." The house elf Shuke suddenly appeared beside Mike, "The dinner is ready, should we start now?"

Mike laughed, pulled Victor up, and said:

"Then let's start!"

...

Ten minutes later, in the restaurant of the Masonic Secret Realm, Mike and other Masonic members were sitting around a long table, and in front of them were piles of delicious food.

Especially Arthur, the food in front of him can be described as a small mountain. This is a decision made by Shuke after considering his appetite, so that every guest at this dinner can enjoy it.

You must know that this banquet is the year-end summary dinner specially prepared by Mike. As the organizer, Shuke naturally cannot make any mistakes.

In fact, there is no such custom as company annual meetings in the wizarding world. After all, the population of the wizarding world is too small, and humans are social creatures. Compared with gatherings between colleagues in the company, everyone prefers to be with their families.

But Mike and the Freemasons are different. They are all new generation wizards from the Muggle society, and naturally they like such gatherings more.

Halfway through the banquet, Mike raised his glass and pointed it at everyone and said loudly:

"Everyone, in the past year, everyone has done very well, especially the new members who have joined us. You have proved your abilities to me. And I want to say more about Victor. As you have just seen, his human mecha has the ability to fight in actual combat. Although it is still not enough to face the absolutely overwhelming wizards, there is no doubt that this is definitely an innovation that can change the world!"

Hearing this, Zhou Hong and others all smiled. As for Victor, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

No one knows better than him that the mecha at this stage does have a good combat power, but it is far from enough for the Freemasons.

At least before he solves the energy problem and adds more and stronger mechanical components, this so-called human mecha is completely useless!

However, Mike, who was sitting at the head, did not notice Victor's expression, and continued,

"But this is not enough. I'm sorry. I know it's a bit disappointing to say such things at such a festive moment, but I still have to say it. The difficulties we will face next will be even more severe, and some decisions made within the organization may be unacceptable to some members. But please believe me, everything I have done is to enable Freemasonry to have a better tomorrow. Here, I apologize to everyone for the decisions I may make in the future!"

Mike stood up and bowed to everyone.

"Okay, now, please raise your glasses and let's toast to the greater good!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up. Even Arthur, who was busy eating, hurriedly poured a glass of red wine and stood up.

"For the greater good!"
