This should be considered Kane's first duel with a normal adult wizard since entering the magical world. As for the combat strength of such an ordinary adult wizard...
To be honest, it's just so-so.
As is well known, wizards who leave Hogwarts are automatically divided into different ranks by the wizarding world.
And coincidentally, the wizards in this circus were made up of the most cowardly and poorly skilled low-level wizards who didn't even dare to hang out in Knockturn Alley and only dared to point their wands at the blood cursed orcs who were weaker than themselves.
"But no matter how bad these wizards are, they are still adult wizards, not like us second-year students who can fool us with our weak magic."
Therefore, Kane decided not to use the magic of his second year, but instead to use the magic of the Eternal Realm.
He controlled his shadow claws to snatch a flying petrification spell and fling it back the way it came. Then, waving his wand, a giant sphere made of tentacles appeared in an open space not far from the circus backstage. Like an insatiable creature, it kept extending its tentacles to pull other wizards into the sphere.
What should have been a thrilling and exciting backstage brawl at the circus ended in less than five minutes.
After petrifying Jenkins, the most vehement rebel, Lupin petrified the others one by one, making sure that no one could suddenly cast a dark spell before turning to look at Harry.
"Harry, who just attacked you?"
"Um... does it count if you accidentally stepped on my foot when you backed up?" Harry raised an eyebrow and said the fact that sounded quite embarrassing.
The petrified Jenkins never imagined that his circus, which had dominated the European magical world for three years, had allowed him to perfectly evade every Auror inspection.
However, today they were defeated by a down-on-his-luck wizard who looked no better than a beggar and two second-year wizards.
Moreover, the conflict broke out because these old, incompetent wizards looked too scary!
Lupin was so startled that he took a step back and accidentally stepped on Harry's foot, and then...
Let's not talk about it!
"What about these people?" Harry asked, pointing to the various petrified wizards on the ground and the wizards who had been pulled into the tentacle balls.
"Leave them here and don't worry about them. The Aurors from the Ministry of Magic will come and deal with them soon. As for what we need to do now..."
Lupin looked at the woman locked in the cage with a hint of pity as he spoke.
"Perhaps we should rescue these poor people first. Although we may not be able to help much, and in fact Dumbledore may not be able to help either, we should at least give it a try."
As Lupin spoke, he tapped the huge cage on the ground with his wand, releasing the woman who was inside, who was terrified.
"Where are your friends?" Lupin asked as he helped the woman up.
The woman pointed hesitantly in a direction, and Lupin walked over.
"Ugh, this lousy circus probably made us come all for nothing." Kane sighed helplessly, pulled a bag of chocolates from his pocket, casually tossed it to the skinny woman, and chased after Lupin.
Soon, Kane, Harry, and Lupin left the circus tent with more than a dozen women of different skin colors. At the very back was a huge cage containing the walrus that Kane had been longing for.
Unfortunately, although this walrus has now completely lost the chance to turn back into a human, she was at least once human, so...
"It's alright, maybe we really can take a trip to the North Pole this Christmas. Of course, we need to go back and see Dumbledore first," Kane said, patting Harry on the shoulder.
Harry shrugged. After everything that had happened, he wasn't too fixated on the new flying broomstick anymore, but he still felt a bit scared thinking about the scenes from just now.
Treating people as objects, as livestock, is something that can chill a person to the bone, including Dumbledore at this very moment.
In the headmaster's office, Dumbledore's usually calm brows furrowed unusually: "Fortunately, none of you were seriously injured."
"Professor Dumbledore, do you have a way to deal with them?" Lupin asked, pointing to the blood cursed orcs behind him and the walrus locked in a cage in the far corner.
"I'm sorry, Remus, the only thing I can do is to hand them over to Newt. He's very good at taking care of magical creatures," Dumbledore said with a hint of apology, his mindset unclear.
Kane was simply sitting on the sofa, looking at the people standing in Dumbledore's office, his face expressionless for some reason.
Even after hearing that Dumbledore was powerless and that, barring unforeseen circumstances, he would inevitably become a beast for the rest of his life, he showed not the slightest surprise or sadness.
He didn't understand, nor was he particularly moved, perhaps because he had experienced too much in the circus.
Dumbledore looked at Harry, who was also sitting on the sofa: "Could you please take them to the infirmary for me?"
"No problem, sir." Harry nodded and was about to lead them out when Dumbledore spoke again:
'
Of course, perhaps the walrus lady could stay.
Kane swallowed hard. He had really underestimated Dumbledore. Did he really intend to harvest the tusks of this walrus even though he knew it had been a human not long ago?
Dumbledore seemed to hear Kane's thoughts: "Have you ever seen a female walrus with tusks that long? In your spare time, you might read some extracurricular books, not Lockhart's novels, but something more useful, like Animal World."
Kane: "...Well-reasoned and convincing."
So he slowly walked towards the walrus lady, looked at her tusks, tentatively grasped them with both hands, and then gently pulled them.
With a pop, Kane removed the two tusks like braces. He thought about it and realized he still wanted the striped beret on the walrus's head, but then he remembered that the walrus was already a walrus.
Moreover, she was a living, breathing person before. Perhaps in her mind, this beret was no different from clothes. So, it would be too beastly of me to take away the only clothes she had left.
However, things took an unexpected turn, quite differently from what Kane had anticipated. Not everyone was as pretentious as Kane had expected. The walrus lady tossed her head, tossed her beret into Kane's hand, and left the principal's office.
Kane looked at the two walrus tusks and the beret in his hand, then at Dumbledore and Lupin staring at him from a distance, and shrugged: "I guess it's a win-win situation."
