The library hums with activity, even though it's quiet. My shadow clones flit across shelves, rearranging tomes, copying spells, and drafting preliminary research notes while I focus on more important things.
The crows I summoned earlier circle the library in precise formation, responding to subtle gestures, carrying messages to the far corners of the castle, and even fetching items I need from the highest shelves.
I lean back against a stack of books and scroll through the system store. There's a section labeled Magical Development Talent, a remnant of some crossover from another universe. I pause when I see something familiar: Tobirama's Ninjutsu Development Talent.
I blink. Ninjutsu? I'm in the Harry Potter world, not Naruto. But as I read the description, a thrill runs through me: this talent isn't tied to physical ninjutsu here. It converts automatically into magical development. Techniques, combat efficiency, spell invention, speed of learning, adaptive magic—all of it will grow exponentially.
This is insane.
I purchase the talent immediately, feeling it integrate into my mind. My magical intuition sharpens. Thoughts and ideas begin connecting faster, my spell theory expanding with almost frightening speed.
But of course, I don't stop there. My eyes drift to the Naruto Storefront, and something catches my attention: Bloodline Talents.
I don't hesitate. I search for the coolest and most powerful bloodline—something that fits my needs as the architect of Hogwarts, master of Raven magic, and inventor of spells that haven't even been conceived yet.
The choice is obvious. Uchiha.
The system confirms it. I can feel the power begin to pulse in my mind. With it comes the famed Sharingan: eyes capable of perception far beyond normal, predictive capabilities, and techniques I can now adapt to my magic. Every powerful character in the Naruto universe with Uchiha lineage gains incredible advantage; now I do too.
I close my eyes briefly. The world sharpens. I can see the flow of magic, the layers of spells in every object, and even the subtle aura of the crows circling the library. I can almost predict the movements of my shadow clones before they act.
Opening my eyes, I smile faintly. "Everything just got…a lot more interesting."
I stretch my hands, feeling raw potential coursing through me. Between my shadow clones, the crows, magical development talent, and now the Uchiha bloodline…there's almost nothing I can't do.
And somehow, even with all this power, my thoughts drift to Rowena. She's quietly focused on a pile of notes in the corner, unaware of the surge of abilities I just unlocked.
She's going to be so impressed, I think, and maybe…she'll be proud of me, too.
I tap my wand on the table, sending a small spark flying through the air. "Time to test some of this," I mutter, already planning the first experiment to integrate the Uchiha's perception with my Raven magic.
