Chapter 473 Magical Reform (Seventeen)
Everything is proceeding according to Rune's plan.
Of course, not all of the conservatives could be killed by Rune, but those who remained were nothing more than small fry. These mages had temporarily gone into hiding and were destined to never amount to anything.
This isn't just wishful thinking on Rune's part; it's a foreseeable future. The magical aspects of the Harry Potter world also went through a similar development phase to the DC Universe.
Mages would choose children with magical talent as apprentices, then ruthlessly exploit their labor; or, children with magical talent would be forced to figure out how to use magic on their own, traveling far and wide in search of books that recorded magic.
But in the end, all of this was brought to an end by Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. These four great wizards built Hogwarts from scratch and taught magic to any gifted child.
This naturally provoked a backlash, but the mages who graduated from the magic academy rightfully replaced the group of reclusive, unruly mages, completely eliminating the outdated and stubborn old fogies.
That's what Rune was doing, and he had anticipated that he would face an extremely strong backlash, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. However, Rune's strength was too great to ignore these opponents.
The school, which was built and then abandoned by Naboo, has now been reopened by Rune. A large number of professors have been appointed, and many puppets have been instilled with magical knowledge. They will work with some of the Kamar-Taj mages to transmit teaching philosophies to the other professors.
And what about Runes?
Rune is writing a textbook, and so far, his spellcasting system includes a large number of spells from the Harry Potter world, a moderate amount of Kamar-Taj spells, and finally a small portion of ordinal magic.
However, if we're talking about the magic Rune is most proficient in and most skilled at, it's undoubtedly Transfiguration. And the book he's going to write will naturally be related to Transfiguration.
Runes divided polymorphism into several parts, including inorganic polymorphism, organic polymorphism, and polymorphism involving magic.
Given that this set of books is about to become one of the textbooks on the magical side of the DC Universe, Rune has written Transfiguration in order of increasing difficulty, while also constantly implying the importance of willpower in Transfiguration, but without directly stating it.
There's no way around it; the effect of comprehending willpower is actually similar to learning to ride a bicycle. Those who comprehend it will never forget it, while those who don't can't be taught no matter what.
In addition, Rune wrote several books on spells, all of which were spells he had taught at Hogwarts. These included important spells such as Featherfall, Armor Charm, and Disarming Charm, as well as some commonly used household spells.
These spells are relatively easy to learn. For many mages with a foundation, they can learn them quickly by following the steps.
Compared to the precise requirements of magic in many universes, spellcasters in the Harry Potter world often do not need to memorize spell models or study advanced mathematics; they only have rules regarding gestures, emotions, and incantations.
There aren't many books about spells, and Rune wanted to use this simple and easy-to-learn magic as an introductory course in magic elementary school, with Kamar-Taj magic to be learned in middle school, since the latter is still too difficult for elementary school students.
The construction of the three temples is also progressing steadily. Once completed, any being that attempts to cross dimensions and enter Earth, including gods and demons, will need Rune's permission.
This would require Rune to negotiate with each of them individually, and might even necessitate a fight. In the Marvel Universe, every new Sorcerer Supreme needs to renegotiate with dimensional beings and other life forms after assuming the role; this was true for the Ancient One, and it's also true for Strange.
However, Strange's succession was too hasty, and Earth was constantly plagued by various internal and external troubles, so there was no time to renegotiate. This directly led to Earth becoming the site of a cosmic melee.
As for Rune—
He had no intention of becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, but this negotiation had to be conducted by Rune. Apart from factors such as power, Rune was also the main driving force behind the construction of these three temples, and the latter was the primary reason.
Late at night in Paris, just as the clock tower of the Musée d'Orsay struck eleven, the complaints and commotion of all the staff faded into the breeze of the Seine. The last person to leave was a woman dressed in casual clothes.
She stretched and stared blankly at the scenery in the distance.
At that moment, everything around began to fold and flip, but after a psychedelic transformation, everything returned to its original state.
-
But this did not make the woman lower her guard. She tore off her loose casual clothes, revealing her battle armor underneath, and the Lasso of Truth emitted a faint light at her waist.
Yes, she is Wonder Woman.
"Excuse me." A voice came from behind her, and Wonder Woman breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's Rune. The combat puppet you gave me is very durable. I like it very much." Wonder Woman flicked her whip, and the clothes that had fallen down not far away were rolled back into her hand.
"I'm glad you like it." Rune nodded. Wonder Woman wasn't an ordinary woman; she was a demigod who didn't need to worry about makeup, so he chose to start with Diana's interests and gave her a punching bag.
Rune didn't beat around the bush; he stated his purpose directly: "I want to know if Zeus is in Olympia at this moment?"
Diana hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What do you want with him? That old geezer is no good!"
""
"I know, but there are some things I need to talk to him about," Rune said, but he didn't have high hopes. Zeus had already been reincarnated at the beginning of the New 52, and judging from the timeline after Rune arrived in the main universe, he should still be in Zola's belly at this point.
Sure enough, Diana shook her head. "He's not here. Hera is in charge of all of Olympus now."
Hera—Rune nodded thoughtfully. Because of Diana's bloodline, Hera often caused trouble for Wonder Woman. If Diana were to introduce him to the Old Gods now, it might cause a conflict—
But who cares what those gods think?
"Then take me there." Rune nodded.
"Now? At this time?"
"—" Rune glanced at the sky, "Aren't you afraid of getting tired?"
Diana glanced at Rune. "Of course I'm not afraid. Want to fight?"
Diana had only intended to respond to Rune's provocation, but to her surprise, Rune actually agreed. She had initially expected a classic warrior vs. mage match, with her finding opportunities to close the distance while he kited her, but the outcome was quite the opposite.
This is a pure duel between warriors.
The two fought for several tens of minutes. At first, Rune was able to overpower Diana with his strength, until the latter used a joint lock. Rune's pride prevented him from using a shapeshifting technique to break free from her restraints, and the two became deadlocked.
Ultimately, the battle ended with Diana's exhaustion during the struggle.
This future dream girl of countless men, the princess of Paradise Island, disregarded her image and collapsed to the ground, panting, "I lost."
Rune covered his forehead. If it weren't for his absolute advantage in strength, Rune himself might have been the one to lose.
