Chapter 961 It Turns Out that Magic Can Be so Powerful!
Looking at the task description given in the system bar, Ivan didn't know how to complain for a while.
Fortunately, over the years, Ivan has long been accustomed to the system describing him as a terrorist who is secretly planning a conspiracy and intends to rule the world, so he simply pretends that he has not seen it, directly ignores the instructions and notes in the task bar, and focuses on Went somewhere else.
The progress of the task suddenly increased to more than 80%, which really shocked Ivan. He had guessed that becoming the chairman of the International Federation of Wizards would increase the progress a lot, but he did not expect that such a sudden change would occur. Zi added so much.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s normal.
He had always lived in England, and except for wizards in the European wizarding world who occasionally saw his name in newspapers, wizards from other continents had probably never even heard of him.
Even fewer people know that he secretly controls the British magical world...
But this time it was different. He defeated the legendary Dark Lord Grindelwald in front of thousands of people, and used his reputation to gain a strong presence in front of heads of state and wizard representatives.
As long as it is published in newspapers from all over the country in two days, the entire magical world will know about it.
In addition, the name of the President of the League of Nations is also very useful, which means that he has the right to legally interfere with the magic world. It is probably because of these two points that the progress of the mission has increased so rapidly.
However, it may not be so easy to improve next. Ivan estimates that it may not be so easy to reach 100% progress. Maybe he needs to wait until he truly becomes the powerful president, or even kills Grindelwald.
Neither of these two is easy to accomplish.
Even though the International Confederation of Wizards sounds like a great name, it is actually the same as the Muggle United Nations, maybe even more miserable. It is basically just a decoration on weekdays. Whether the orders issued are effective or not depends on the self-consciousness of each country.
His only advantage is that he has the strength to overwhelm a whole country. Coupled with the full support of the British magic community, there is only a slight possibility of becoming the powerful president.
But politics has always been Ivan's weakness. The thought of having frequent contacts with ministers from various countries in the future, and even competing for power, gave him a headache.
Compared to these twists and turns, he prefers a straightforward fight.
Is it possible to use the power in your hands to eliminate dissidents and conspire to control ministers of various countries, as described in the system description?
Ivan quickly shook his head and put the idea aside, and then sighed. He had learned such a system badly, and some sinful thoughts would always pop up in his mind from time to time.
He is obviously a warm-hearted and kind-hearted good man...
"Sir Hals..." Just as Ivan was thinking, Pierce's voice suddenly came over.
"What's wrong?" Ivan turned his head strangely and asked.
"Are you planning to stay at the Ministry of Magic in the next few days? Or are you planning to return to Hogwarts?" Piers said.
Ivan thought for a while and replied. "Let's go back to school first. Christmas vacation happens to be in a few days, and I have to tell Professor McGonagall and the students."
Although the preparations for the coalition have been negotiated, the replacement of ministers between France and Russia will definitely take some time, and it will take four or five days at the earliest for them to send out manpower.
Taking advantage of this free time, he just started to deal with things at school.
"By the way, Minister Pierce, remember to tell Director Connell for me tomorrow and ask them to send over all the information about Grindelwald and the Saints that they have collected in the past few days." Ivan reminded.
"Understood, I will order someone to do it now." Pierce said solemnly.
After giving the instructions, Ivan did not stay for long. He immediately waved his wand and used Apparition to disappear.
…
Early on Monday morning, Ivan yawned and woke up from his bed. He looked through the class schedule and then remembered that there was a magic research and practice class in the morning.
Last night, he was fighting Grindelwald at the Magical Congress of North America, but today he has to go back to school to teach. This sense of separation makes Ivan somewhat uncomfortable, but he also knows that there will not be too many leisurely days like this. .
After washing, Ivan slowly left the staff lounge and prepared to go to the auditorium to enjoy today's breakfast.
However, as soon as he walked into the foyer, Ivan heard noisy noises coming from inside. After entering, he saw the young wizards from the four major colleges gathering together and talking about something.
Just when Ivan felt strange, a group of young wizards gathered around. Hermione still held a newspaper in her hand and asked excitedly.
"Oh my God, Ivan, is this true? The Daily Prophet said that you defeated Grindelwald and became the president of the International Federation of Wizards?!"
Ivan took the newspaper in Hermione's hand and took a look. The headline on the front page was the scene of his confrontation with Grindelwald in the Magic Congress. It was unknown who took the photo.
It seems that the Daily Prophet's response was really fast. It obviously only received the news in the early hours of yesterday morning, but it was reported early in the morning.
"Well, you can put it that way." Looking at the curious and probing eyes, Ivan nodded calmly, and then corrected him. "To be precise, I am just the acting president now!"
The students couldn't tell the difference, and they all asked about Ivan's experience in the Magic Congress of North America and how he defeated Grindelwald.
When they saw this news in the newspaper before, they almost thought that the Daily Prophet had made a mistake.
Even though Ivan is the most outstanding student in the history of Hogwarts, and he graduated early and became a professor, it is still difficult for people to connect with such a big figure as the president of the International Federation of Wizards.
This is as outrageous as someone suddenly discovering one day that the classmate he goes to school with every day is actually the head of state.
"...That's pretty much what happened. Grindelwald disguised himself as the chairman of the Magical Congress of North America and killed two ministers, intending to frame me, but I found out in the end, and finally used magic to create magical images of the ministers. He identified Grindelwald and trapped him in the Magical Congress..."
Amidst the enthusiastic urging from everyone, Ivan had no choice but to patiently tell the whole story.
Although what Ivan said was very plain, Hermione and others could still hear from those words how dangerous the situation was at that time. The final battle between the two in the Magic Congress made the little wizards present even more excited. .
Whether it was Grindelwald's feat of fighting off more than a hundred Aurors alone, or the two men's magic spells that summoned thunderstorms and blew up streets and squares with every movement, they all refreshed the young wizards' understanding of power.
It turns out that magic can be so powerful!
