Stephen didn't take what Jon said about the Black Wizard to heart at all.
The Defense Against Black Magic class at Hogwarts was also not very interesting. After so many years of peace in the magic world, who would remember what the Black Wizard was like?
By the time they remembered, Voldemort was long gone.
Without the fear of the Black Wizard filling their childhood, and without seeing black magic, Stephen and the others naturally didn't think that the Black Wizard was that scary.
Especially when Jon was talking, his expression was so relaxed.
"Anyway, Jon will definitely be able to solve the problem with a smile. We don't have to worry."
After listening to Stephen's description, Fran and Scully said in unison.
The three of them discussed with each other and didn't take this matter to heart.
And the subject of discussion, Jon, wasn't at the scene at the moment.
...
"After you get started with [Eavesdropping Whisper], we can start learning [War Magic — Continuous Explosion]."
Helga waved the "teaching materials" in his hand and showed Jon a series of explosions.
"Wait a minute, is there any connection between the [Continuous Explosion] and [Eavesdropping Whisper]? Why do we have to learn [Eavesdropping Whisper] first? "
"There's no connection. Your timetable is sorted according to the difficulty level. Apart from [Eavesdropping Whisper], [Continuous Explosion] is the easiest one."
Yes, of course, it was the easiest one. He just had to control the magic and repeatedly detonate it. He didn't need to spend any energy at all. The lethality wasn't small, and he took the simple and violent route.
The problem was, where was he going to practice this spell?
He couldn't go to the House of All Requests. After all, that house was an antique as old as the school. The school was repaired and maintained by the Wizard. If the house was really damaged, he couldn't repair it. Also, the sound was so loud that it couldn't be used near the castle.
During the [Double Backtrack], the great wizard that Chown possessed released a [Continuous Explosion]. It was as if he had turned on a thunder effect, and the sound was frighteningly loud.
"Why don't you practice in the Demonic Immortal Castle? Practice makes perfect, and you'll naturally know when the time comes."
Since Helga was so open-minded, Jon couldn't do anything about it.
After all, he was just a 'student'. Whatever the 'teacher' told him to do, he would do.
However, he really didn't like the [Continuous Explosion] spell. In comparison, the silent but more deadly [Swamp Reappearance] and [Chaos Ripple] were much easier to cast.
"But it's also very deadly. Your current progress speed is purely due to the benefits of the world's magical environment recovering. Right now, your progress curve is still able to suppress the recovery curve of the magical factor density, but it won't be able to do so very soon. In at least half a year, your progress curve will be surpassed."
When she wasn't teaching Jon magic, Helga had been working hard to play the role of "World Observer". Her research results were much faster than Jon's, and Jon had now begun to enjoy the results directly.
…
It had been nearly two months since school started.
There was nothing much to learn in this grade. Jon spent most of his energy on Helga's teaching, but he still looked very busy.
If Jon had been busy with something besides studying recently, it could only be said that he was busy with something that didn't have any results yet.
Under his arrangement, Lov Smith, who was far away in London, made the first payment to help Anthony, who went to the United States to set up a studio there. Through Anthony's name, he recruited some Muggle to work for him.
Jon had already planned for this stage of the work. In a few days, a large manor in the suburbs of Moscow would change hands of the original owner and appear under the banner of a commercial company. On the surface, this commercial company belonged to a businessman from Huaxia, but in fact, it was wholly owned by another Hong Kong company. This Hong Kong company was a foreign-owned enterprise headquartered in the United States, and the actual legal person was Mr. Lov Smith from the United Kingdom.
It was normal for a university professor to have his own property outside, but it involved a lot of money. Mr. Smith originally wanted to pawn some things, but he was stopped by Jon. He took out two "ordinary" antiques from his family's vault and auctioned them, raising the first installment of money.
But even so, he still received a letter from the Ministry of Magic. The general meaning was that they hoped that such a thing would not happen again. If they really wanted to do this, the Ministry of Magic hoped that they would send someone to check the things sold to prevent some magic items from entering the world of Muggle.
Jon did not think much of it. Those people from the Ministry of Magic were always making a fuss over nothing. But he still sent a letter to his mother very seriously, hoping that she would not tell her friends in the Ministry of Magic about his family matters next time.
God knows how scary it was to receive a letter from the Ministry of Magic on the first night of school! If he had not heard the whole story from his father, he would have thought that the Ministry of Magic had sent someone to follow him.
Even if he knew that this kind of thing was impossible, who would not be worried?
Back to the money, Jon had arranged for Anthony to convert the first installment of money into US dollars. At this time, people who wanted to leave Siberia did not want their own country's money. In contrast, US dollars made them feel much more at ease.
Jon did not mind the rubles. The newly bought manor was pawned by him for a large amount of cash. The professionals hired by Anthony paid a 20% premium for the loan, and the return of the loan was 40%.
Part of the money was converted into gold, and the other part flowed into Hong Kong's economic zone.
Jon did not know how to do business, but he remembered the various policies clearly.
In the end, he was never a pioneer. What he was best at now was getting a free ride to get benefits for himself. Although it was a little tricky, it was very effective.
At least the US dollars that flowed into his account were real.
The loan from the Soviet Union was stopped after two months.
First of all, the banks there had also discovered the problem with the loans, so they began to restrict their company's loans and currency exchange. However, Jon had already gotten the income he had originally planned to get. This country probably wouldn't last until the repayment deadline in a year.
The large amount of money from the loan was injected into Hong Kong's economic zone. In just a few months, the money had doubled.
