Facing Hermione's question, Tom answered with absolute confidence, "Obviously I'm out for a nighttime stroll—just like you lot."
Hermione almost choked. How could he say something that blatantly breaks the rules with such a straight face?
But there wasn't time to argue—someone was chasing them.
She grabbed Tom's hand. "Filch is right behind us—we need to hide!"
And so, Tom was ...

Ron had accepted Malfoy's duel challenge on Harry's behalf—and what's more, he even volunteered to be Harry's second.
The entire time, Harry looked completely confused, like he had no idea how he'd ended up in a duel in the first place.
Once Malfoy had left, Harry finally asked, "Okay, seriously—what even is a wizard duel? Why do you need a second? Are there rules or something?"
"Oh, yeah. If you die, your second takes...

Before class even officially started, the school was already down one fairly decent broomstick—and Madam Hooch was heartbroken over it.
Still, she couldn't really blame Tom. It was a reflex, plain and simple. All she could do was tell him to go grab another broom and be more careful next time, then get back in position.
Once Tom returned, Madam Hooch began demonstrating how to ride a broom without slip...

A new week began.
On Monday morning, Daphne finally received the package she'd been anxiously waiting for.
Or rather, packages—two of them.
Not only had her mother sent her some money, but her little sister, Astoria, had also secretly mailed over her personal savings after finding out that Daphne was struggling.
In her letter, Astoria told her not to hold back on spending, and if it wasn't ...

Three minutes later, the Turbo mode faded. Tom collapsed flat on his back, gasping for breath.
But the results? Absolutely worth it.
Sure, his spell power dropped toward the end due to magical exhaustion, but his control had improved drastically. He only accidentally hit two training dummies this time—every other target was taken down cleanly and in perfect order.
There was no doubt now: combinin...

[Host has discovered the Room of Requirement.]
[50 Achievement Points awarded.]
"Fifty points?" Tom raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised.
Normally, when he wandered into other classrooms at night, he'd only get two points at most. The Trophy Room gave a bit more—maybe five.
But the Room of Requirement? That was ten times as much.
In an instant, his ...

The sun was already setting, and the air had cooled by the time the girl finally stirred from her nap.
A light breeze brushed against her face as Daphne slowly woke, memories of what had happened earlier quickly returning.
When she glanced at the obvious wet patch on Tom's robes, her cheeks turned as red as the sunset. She wished she could just bury her head in her chest and disappear.

After lunch, Harry and Ron headed to Hagrid's hut, just like they'd planned.
The half-giant greeted them warmly—with scalding hot tea and rock-hard pies that could probably dent a cauldron.
"Another Weasley?"
Hagrid groaned the moment he saw Ron's unmistakable red hair. "I've barely gotten any sleep these past few years trying to keep your brothers out of the Forbidden Forest."

Snape once again felt like he'd been hit by a truck.
Honestly, he only had himself to blame—why did he even bother provoking Riddle, that infuriatingly unpredictable student?
Now he was so rattled he couldn't even keep his usual cold, composed front.
Not that he'd ever admit he was wrong. He was the teacher, Tom was the student—sooner or later, he would catch the boy slipping.

Staring at the coin wedged perfectly and hearing Kanao's innocent little comment, both Shinobu and Kanae exchanged awkward glances.
What just happened?
With a strange expression, Shinobu muttered, "Hey… Kanae, isn't tossing a coin at a shrine supposed to be some kind of fortune-telling?"
"Ah—yeah, I think I've heard that too…" Kanae replied, but clearly had no idea what else to say.

About ten minutes had passed when Ryo Yagami, standing by the back door of the Butterfly House, twitched his ears slightly and turned toward the door.
Just then, Kanae Kocho stepped out, dressed in a soft pink kimono embroidered with delicate floral patterns. She was holding a folded men's kimono in her arms.
"Mr. Ryo, if you're going to the festival, you really should change into—"
She didn't get to finish her sentence. Her e...

In the alley where the Butterfly Mansion stood.
Under the influence of Nakime's Blood Demon Art, Ryo and Kanae reappeared at the entrance to the alley.
As soon as they did, Ryo let go of Kanae's waist and looked at her pale face with a hint of concern.
"You okay?"
"Just give me a second... I'll be fine."
Kanae gave a weak smile, though her expression was still shaken. S...

After finishing his orders, Ryo gently patted Kanae on the back, calming her unease.
Then, with a cold, detached expression, he said:
"In a bit, you all will report your abilities to Nakime. I'll be assigning tasks accordingly. In seven days, we'll take Edo."
Seven days. With Nakime's spatial manipulation and the strength of the Upper Kizuki, gathering all demons wouldn't be a problem.
As for...

Saya Takagi glanced curiously at her mother, Yuriko, who sat empty-handed while she herself was juggling a sandwich in one hand and a carton of milk in the other.

Yuriko's expression stiffened slightly, and she let out a small, involuntary burp as she spoke.

It was nighttime. The beach was brightly lit by the bonfire, where a small celebration was underway. Yuriko Takagi raised a glass of red wine—something that could've sold for five figures before the undead crisis—and asked Veyron her question.
Earlier that day...

Sasuke's eyes lit up the moment he saw Uchiha Tom.
Of course, he recognized that Pikachu.
Alongside Senju Jerry, they were practically legends in Konoha—and honestly, all across the shinobi world.
Back in the day, more than a few villages had secretly tried to kidnap them for research.

Snape continued taking roll.
Eventually, he reached Tom's name—and shot him a look that could have frozen boiling water. His eyes were dark and unreadable. Tom, ever the gentleman, simply smiled politely at the man funding his education.
Snape gave a soft, disdainful snort and snapped the attendance book shut.
"You are here to learn the exact art of potion-making."

Getting caught sneaking food is always awkward—unless you run into someone doing the same thing. Then, it feels like you've found a kindred spirit.
That was exactly the case with Tom and the two people who showed up afterward.

There's an old saying at Hogwarts: Your school life isn't complete until you've gone on a nighttime adventure.
Officially, the school has plenty of rules to keep students in line. But any upper-year student will tell you—Not breaking the rules, that's not the problem. It's getting caught.

The next day, Tom's efforts at "discipline" were already paying off.
His roommates still woke up earlier than him—but this time, they stayed completely silent, careful not to disturb him in the slightest.
After breakfast, the Slytherins headed to Charms class with the Ravenclaws.
Professor Flitwick was part-goblin and stood barely three feet tall, but he was a brilliant spellcaster. Rumor had it he'd e...

For the first time, Tom felt like he couldn't keep up with Andros's train of thought.
Hadn't they already moved on from that whole mess? Why did it feel like this self-proclaimed man of justice had a worse temper than him—out for revenge even when he hadn't lost anything?
Seeing Tom's confused face, Andros burst into hearty laughter.

And with Harry Potter now in Gryffindor, Snape was more determined than ever to win the House Cup. No way was he going to lose to James Potter's son—even if the boy was also Lily's son.

Professor McGonagall had no idea that Tom was already scheming to steal the House Cup right out from under her nose.
She only praised him, reminded him not to slack off, then went on to check on the rest of the students.

But this time… it felt even worse.
