Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 226: Showdown

On the weekend, Sainz went to Old Dunk early to block the door.

"Mr. Autumn, I think today is Saturday!" Dumbledore came downstairs in his dressing gown and nightcap askew.

"Professor, you are busy, but I am thinking about you. I want you to avoid having to think about me and not be able to concentrate when you are out doing things."

"Hey~ Sainz~ Sainz, for so many years, all of us have been deceived by you," Old Dumbledore said helplessly, "We all thought that the Weasley twins were troublemakers, until recently I found out that you were the truly audacious one!"

Sainz chuckled, "Look at what you said, how could I say that? I have carefully considered every decision I make, you know that!"

"That's why," Dumbledore stared at Sainz's face outside the table, "it makes me feel even more uneasy. You know everyone's character."

Sainz said seriously: "Professor, that is totally unnecessary. I am different from some people. I just like magic and have no intention of becoming a mayor."

"Sainz, people change, and sometimes they change very suddenly!"

"So I've been telling you that I want to stay in school," Sainz said nonchalantly, "I heard that you also refused the position of Minister of Magic for some reason?"

"Oh... you know a lot," said Old Dumbledore, resting his chin on his hands. "Someone has indeed suggested this before."

"Professor, the wizarding world is not that big, and some important events will always leave clues."

"Look, Sainz, these unintentional actions of yours are things that some wizards would never think of in their lifetime."

"Maybe it's because I'm not from the wizarding world. I always feel that it's always good to know more information. Maybe some things that are very common sense to pure-blood wizards, I know very little about. I don't want this to happen, so I consciously collect some information."

“Nice habit.”

Sainz chuckled, "Yeah, I think so too."

"Saenz, you seem to be very disdainful of the Ministry of Magic?"

"Professor, don't get me wrong. I don't mean to look down on anyone. I just simply don't like them and I'm not interested in them."

"Oh~ This is interesting. Becoming a powerful figure is the lifelong pursuit of some wizards." Old Dumbledore said with interest.

"Professor, Fudge is the Minister of Magic, but all signs show that he doesn't dare to put on his ministerial airs when facing you, right?"

"Would you like to eat some cockroaches...Okay...I know you're not interested...Hmm..." Old Dumbledore stuffed a handful of chocolate bugs into his mouth and chewed them. "Fudge is just mild-mannered."

"Haha, do you think I will believe it?"

"Ah~ Kids nowadays are really troublesome."

"It's not easy to cheat, right?"

Old Deng did not continue on this topic, but changed his topic to something else. "Tell me about yourself, Sainz. Why did you suddenly stop hiding this year?"

"Professor, I don't like what you said. What do you mean by hiding? I am just following the rules."

"Follow the rules? Maybe." Old Deng stuffed another handful of chocolate into his mouth. "So, Sainz, why do you suddenly start to break the rules recently?"

"Professor, you are slandering me. How have I disobeyed the rules?"

Sainz refused to admit the accusation. "Look, I asked you for help in capturing experimental materials. Am I not following the rules?"

"..." Old Deng pinched his brow, "You... are right!" He grabbed a handful of Snow Candy again, "Are you sure you don't want some?"

Sainz quickly refused, "Professor, I remember I advised you to be careful or you won't be able to bite bread in the future!"

"Haha...I'll still answer you the same thing. I have magic! Haha!"

Old Deng laughed triumphantly, like a kid who had finally won the game.

"Haha, as long as you are happy."

Old Deng raised his beard and said, "Don't argue with an old man, Sainz. You will confuse me."

Hey, this is because he feels that he has no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, so he starts to take the path of suffering.

Sainz laughed and said, "If you are old and confused, then there will be no smart people in the world."

"I don't dare to think like that anymore," Old Deng shook his head gently, "After seeing you, all my previous pride is no longer worth mentioning."

"Don't be so pessimistic, professor. Although you may not be as good as me, you are still a pride of your time."

"Ahem... ahem... you really are not modest at all!" Old Deng pointed at Sainz and scolded him with a smile, "You... really have no sympathy for the elderly at all!"

"Professor, this is boring!

Don't always talk about old people. If you keep doing this, when I'm older than you one day, I'll go to your grave and have a good talk with you!"

"Hey~ You have such a bad personality, how come I never noticed it before?"

"Hey, why do you think that is?"

Old Deng seemed to have just reacted, "Did you avoid it on purpose?"

“You can’t say that!

Forget it, I won’t beat around the bush with you. After all, I came to the magic world alone at that time, and I felt very insecure, so of course I had to be quiet and be an unknown person. "

"Ah~ This is the fault of us adults. We didn't care enough..." Old Deng sighed and said affirmatively: "That makes sense. You are no longer hiding because you feel you are capable of taking responsibility for your own safety!"

Sainz smiled and said, "Hehe, although not entirely, there are indeed reasons in this regard."

"But I heard that you are still very polite when facing other people?"

Sainz didn't have the nerve to say directly that he looked down on others, "I think you can understand, professor."

Old Deng groaned for a moment, "...Okay, I understand, you are really too proud!

So I should feel honored?" Then he reminded: "But I hope you know yourself well enough and are not arrogant!"

Sainz had long wanted to show off his skills to Old Deng, so that he wouldn't always treat him like a child. "I have a little thing, which is a collection of some of my ideas. How about you take a look at it?"

Old Deng immediately became interested, "Quick, quick, quick! Let me open my eyes!"

"It's embarrassing!"

Sainz opened his mouth and spit out a metal pellet, looked around, and pointed at a chair, "Professor, please add some protection to this chair."

Old Dumbledore followed his instructions and drew out his knobby wand to cast an armor spell on the chair.

Sainz tapped his wand and the golden pill unfolded in his hand.

"Oh~ It turns out to be a small sword. Let's take a look!"

"I just want you to take a look!"

The small sword flashed white light and returned to its original position. There was no sound in the air, and a small hole appeared on the chair that Old Dumbledore had cast the Iron Armor Spell on.

"Hiss...at this speed...Saienz...you're making my back sweat!" Old Deng said seriously.

Sainz raised his hand and swallowed the golden pill into his mouth, "Professor, if I had kept covering it up and not showing it, you would really be sweating!"
