Chapter 29 - Merit

"Little… little sir… I think you might have misunderstood. I'm not a master; I'm just a businessman.

There are many masters in this World who are much stronger than me. You should go spar with them instead."

The wizard's face changed, and he stammered a little.

Breaking free from the Petrification Charm with his bare body, moving so fast it was imperceptible to the naked eye, and shattering a Shield Charm with one punch.

This little boy was practically a human-shaped XXXXX-level magical creature. He didn't think his strength was much higher than Alec's, so he naturally wasn't confident he could win.

And why would he spar with this little boy?

Just now, it was to cause trouble for the Borgin and Burkes shop across the way and improve his own business.

Now, sparring with the little boy, wasn't that just causing trouble for himself?

Besides, the commotion just now had probably alerted the Aurors. Soon, Aurors should arrive to question them.

"There are many masters here who are even stronger than you!"

Goku's face lit up with excitement at the words.

"Yes, yes, there are plenty of powerful people. Isn't your Headmaster Dumbledore the most powerful one?"

The wizard waved his hand and cast the Repairing Spell:

"Reparo."

The wall shattered by Alec seemed to rewind in time, returning to its original state.

"What an amazing move! Please duel me!"

Goku clasped his hands together and once again invited the wizard to spar.

It was his first time seeing such a wondrous technique, making him think that Grandpa might have just been modest earlier.

The wizard's mouth twitched at the words. He felt he shouldn't have provoked this strange little wizard.

"This is the Repairing Spell, a very simple, basic magic. Anyone who's studied at Hogwarts in the alley outside knows it.

It's not as powerful a move as you imagine."

While explaining, the wizard secretly aimed his wand at Goku.

If the other party insisted on dueling him, he would have no choice but to strike first.

"Oh, I see. Then I'm sorry to bother you, Grandpa. Do you know where the hospital is? I need to take this uncle to the hospital for treatment."

Seeing that the wizard was unwilling to spar with him, Goku didn't force the issue.

He certainly hoped that this seemingly powerful Grandpa would spar with him to improve his own strength.

But the premise was that the other party was willing. If he wasn't, he wouldn't insist.

This was the spirit a martial artist should possess, as mentioned by Master Roshi Grandpa when teaching him to cultivate.

"Hospital? No need to go to the hospital. He'll be sent to the Ministry of Magic immediately."

The wizard mumbled, then replied with a wide smile:

"I don't know either. You take him out and ask someone else."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Goku thanked the wizard, then helped the unconscious Alec out of the shop.

As he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head to ask again:

"Grandpa, where does Dumbledore, the one you just mentioned, live? I want to challenge him."

"Pfft!"

The wizard, who had just taken a sip of Water to clear his throat, instantly spat out all the Water in his mouth.

Challenge the legendary wizard Dumbledore? Who gave you the courage?

Even as a Black Wizard, he had to admit that Dumbledore was probably the most powerful wizard in the World at the moment.

Even Voldemort, during his most active period, was extremely wary of Dumbledore.

Perhaps only Grindelwald, who led the global wizarding revolution back then, could compare to him.

Anyway, he felt that if he were to duel Dumbledore, he would probably be dealt with before he could even cast a magic spell.

This child, relying on his naturally powerful body, might be able to contend with Black Wizards like him.

But to duel Dumbledore? That would absolutely result in merciless crushing.

However, looking at the child's age, he should be attending Hogwarts. How could he not know Dumbledore?

Could he be a student from another magic school?

But even if he were a student from another magic school, it would be impossible not to know Dumbledore's great name.

Strange, truly strange.

The wizard became quite suspicious of Goku, who had suddenly appeared in Knockturn Alley, but then he dismissed it all from his mind.

Because there was no benefit for him in investigating Goku's identity. He just wanted this troublesome little wizard to leave his shop quickly.

"Dumbledore is, of course, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Where is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? How do I get there?"

Goku continued to ask.

To quickly get rid of Goku, the wizard didn't hide anything:

"If you want to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, you can go to King's Cross Station tomorrow, enter through Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.

Once inside, take the Hogwarts Express train to the last stop, get off, and follow the other little wizards, and you'll reach Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Thank you!"

Goku thanked him again, then helped Alec out of the shop.

Outside the shop at this time, a circle of Black Wizards had already gathered.

The commotion just now was not small, attracting nearby Black Wizards who were shopping.

Seeing Goku supporting the unconscious Alec, the Black Wizards immediately began to discuss in low voices.

"Isn't that Alec? He was actually beaten like this by a child?"

"It seems he's only good at dealing with muggles; his actual skill isn't that great."

"Don't underestimate that child. I just saw him shatter Alec's Shield Charm with one punch."

"Really? Shattered a Shield Charm with a punch? Alec's Shield Charm must be terrible."

"Excuse me, do you know where the hospital is?"

Goku blinked his innocent big eyes and asked the surrounding Black Wizards.

Going to the hospital for injuries was common knowledge he learned during the World Martial Arts Tournament.

Many injured contestants were sent to the hospital and healed back then.

The Black Wizards stared at Goku, none of them answering.

Just then, someone in the distance suddenly shouted:

"Patrolling Aurors are entering Knockturn Alley!"

Immediately, one by one, the Black Wizards quickly performed Apparition and vanished from their spots.

In the blink of an eye, only a small fraction of the Black Wizards remained.

Those who left were either criminals with bounties on their heads or wizards who didn't want to expose their identities.

Aurors would definitely arrest the former if encountered. The latter were outwardly respectable people, and being known for buying and selling contraband in Knockturn Alley was not a good thing.

As for the Black Wizards who remained, most of them were still 'respectable'.

They were the kind of wizards who hadn't started committing crimes yet or whose crimes hadn't been discovered by the Ministry of Magic.

"We heard a commotion here just now. What happened?"

Two Aurors in uniform, wands in hand, strode over.

When they saw Alec, whom Goku was supporting, their pupils instantly constricted:

"Black Wizard Alec Niel!"

Although Alec Niel was wanted in Germany, because of the heinous nature of his muggle killings, he had also been in the news in various countries. As Aurors, they naturally recognized him.

A few days ago, the German Ministry of Magic had even sent a memo hoping that their British Ministry of Magic could help keep an eye out for Alec Niel's whereabouts.

They never expected to encounter him today.

This was simply a first-class merit descending from the heavens.

"Incarcerous!"

Two ropes flew from the Aurors' wands, instantly binding the unconscious Alec securely.
