Kasenhis's mind still wasn't completely clear. He slowly sat down in the chair and sluggishly forced his brain to start working again...
"Wait..... final exams?!"
Kasenhis instantly let out a shrill scream and teleported straight to the classroom downstairs with Ender teleportation.
At that mont, Dumbledore, who seed to have aged considerably, was standing on the podium proctoring the exam in Kasenhis's place.
Hearing the sound of Ender teleportation, he helplessly sighed.
"Weasley twins, stop playing with your Ender Pearls already! Just how many lives did Kasenhis leave you two with?"
However, not a single person in the classroom responded.
Confused, he opened his eyes, only to discover that every wizard currently taking the exam was staring blankly behind him.
Seeing this, Dumbledore also turned around to take a look.
"Oh..... you're back..... that's wonderful. Take over proctoring for now. Co to my office after the exams are over."
Dumbledore revealed a relieved smile as he spoke.
After watching Dumbledore leave, Kasenhis turned toward the young wizards below the podium.
"How long was I gone?"
"About half a month, Professor," Cedric hurriedly answered.
"What happened during these past two weeks?" Kasenhis continued asking.
The young wizards looked at each other, then all shook their heads.
"Nothing happened."
"That's good.... then continue with your exams."
Kasenhis relaxed into his chair as he spoke.
Very soon... about half an hour later, as the bell rang, the last young wizard finally put down their pen.
Sitting in his chair, Kasenhis pursed his lips. Even though he currently looked ragged and covered in soot, he still cleared his throat in an affected manner.
"Well..... as a professor, I believe that for an elective professor, there are three graduating classes of students that matter the most. Of course, for professors who studied at Hogwarts themselves, there might be four."
"But for , there are only three. Your class. You were the first students I ever taught, and also the first class I ever trained. You all carry special aning to ."
"Of course..... now you've graduated. It's just a pity that I missed your first and second years. You'll have to ask Dumbledore about that. Ask him why he took so long to find ."
After making that small joke, Kasenhis waved his hand. One exam paper after another flew toward him before neatly stacking themselves together.
"You may leave now. Go enjoy your lunch. As for , I need to head to the Headmaster's office."
As he spoke, Kasenhis directly used Ender teleportation and vanished.
Having already sent off several graduating classes before, he now had experience. The longer he stayed in the classroom during monts like this, the heavier the sadness among his young wizards would beco.
So it was better for him to run away quickly.
Besides, he really did have matters to discuss with Dumbledore.
"You finally ca back."
As soon as Kasenhis arrived at Dumbledore's office, Professor McGonagall's voice startled him.
Then he glanced around and realized that it wasn't just Professor McGonagall.
Practically every professor in Hogwarts was gathered here.
"Wow.... I can already imagine what the Great Hall looks like."
Kasenhis raised an eyebrow as he spoke. After all, with not a single professor there to maintain order, it wouldn't be strange no matter how chaotic the Great Hall beca.
"Seriously though, how did you get out? Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Nicolas Flal all went to Malfoy Manor, but none of them could do anything about that blue light curtain. Neither spatial magic nor temporal magic worked," Professor Sprout asked with lingering fear in her voice.
"How should I put it.... that place was probably a relatively static space. As for how I escaped, honestly, it was pretty crude. I just accelerated myself to a fast enough speed."
Kasenhis scratched the back of his head as he answered.
"You must have suffered greatly."
Professor Sprout gently stroked Kasenhis's not-so-clean face as though comforting her own child.
"Actually... it wasn't too bad. My health bar's pretty thick."
Kasenhis replied with a grin.
"Now that you've all seen Kasenhis safely return, you may leave. We still have so matters to discuss privately."
Dumbledore began ushering people out. In the end, only Kasenhis, Dumbledore, and Snape remained in the office.
"Oh? You're even kicking Grindelwald out?" Kasenhis asked in surprise.
"He has no interest in this sort of plan," Dumbledore explained.
"The thod the Dark Lord used to trap you... was related to ti?" Snape asked in astonishnt.
"I didn't expect it at first either. Honestly, I think that ti matrix of his was inspired by . Didn't expect him to be such a good student... seriously, unbelievable."
Kasenhis sighed as he spoke.
"The most urgent matter right now..... Severus, you must inform Tom as soon as possible that Kasenhis has returned," Dumbledore said calmly.
"No problem."
Snape nodded.
"Nothing else for to do here?"
"Regarding Tom's matter... speed is essential in war," Dumbledore explained.
Snape gave a quiet grunt, then directly transford into a streak of black smoke and left Hogwarts.
anwhile, Kasenhis sat down on the sofa, looking sowhat drained of energy.
"What happened during these two weeks?"
"Tom and we both tacitly agreed to suppress the news of your disappearance. He concealed it because he feared causing panic throughout the alchemy circles. After all, he spreads fear to make the weak submit to him, not to drive talented people away from him. As for , I was simply afraid it would cause panic within the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix."
"As for everything else, nothing really happened. However, after Harry repeatedly dread about the Departnt of Mysteries beneath the Ministry of Magic, mbers of the Order took him there and found this."
As Dumbledore spoke, he pulled out a box from his desk drawer. Pressing the button on top of the box, a crystal sphere slowly rose upward.
"This is..... what exactly?"
Kasenhis frowned and muttered to himself, but quickly reacted.
"A Chaos Crystal?"
"That's what you call it? It's a prophecy orb. The raw material is a type of prophecy crystal, but calling it a Chaos Crystal isn't wrong either. The future itself is a sea of chaos, isn't it?"
Dumbledore revealed a faint smile.
"So what does this thing do? Why does Voldemort want it?"
