🕑 Added 2025-03-19 16:00:19 +0000 UTCThe card that the Unknown Horned Beast dropped was an [Experience Card (White)], a special card used to exchange for extra experience points.
It essentially provided a bonus boost of experience.
Previously, when choosing between three mission rewards, Ted had obtained a blue card that granted him 1,000 experience points.
As for the Spider Mantis’s dropped card, it depicted a large yellow and green insect carapace covered in bumps and spikes.
____________________
[Chitin Carapace (Green)]
Material Card
A special magic-infused insect carapace, highly resistant to both physical and magical attacks. Its large size and lightweight properties make it an exceptional defensive material.

Looking at the card, Ted couldn’t help but be reminded of a certain bio-enhanced warrior.
The mission reward card, on the other hand, featured an enormous yellow-green creature clutching a massive mallet while scratching its bald head absentmindedly.
____________________
[Troll (Blue)]
Summon Card
Summons a troll to fight on your behalf.
Duration: 10 minutes
Cooldown: 10 hours
Note: The troll isn’t the brightest—be sure to give clear and direct commands.

Ted grinned. Did he just acquire his very own tank for future battles?
Both of these were types of cards he hadn’t encountered before.
Material cards could provide ready-to-use resources such as metals, herbs, and ores. They could also be used to enhance other cards, granting additional effects or upgrades.
Yes, cards could be upgraded. By consuming other cards or spending experience points, one could strengthen and evolve them.
Material cards, in particular, could be used to add enhancements or special attributes to existing cards.
As for summon cards, they were pretty self-explanatory.
Trolls were a massive threat to regular wizards due to their extreme resistance to magic. If properly directed, they could become even more dangerous.
Jackpot! Absolute profit!
Now, Ted’s experience pool had grown to 4,500 XP.
The temptation to level up was strong.
Currently, his magic power was at level 3, but with his wand’s bonus, it functioned at level 4.
The difference was significant.
For instance, the Sliding Charm he cast earlier that night had lasted for a solid five or six minutes without fading.
And those two Frostbolts? Devastating.
That was the effect of raw magical power.
But he held back.
Tomorrow was November 1st, which meant new knowledge from other worlds would be available. It was better to wait and see what he could acquire before making any hasty decisions.
Aside from his newfound rewards, Ted also reflected on tonight’s battle.
In truth, the three magical creatures he and his friends had faced were immensely powerful.
If ordinary people had been up against them, they wouldn’t have stood a chance—unless they had access to some serious firepower.
Even then, the weakest of the monsters, the Unknown Horned Beast, would have been difficult to take down.
If they had encountered the mutated version? Without anti-material weaponry, it would have wiped out an entire squad in minutes.
Despite how they had managed to handle it, the truth was that the creature’s charging speed was absurd—comparable to a car barreling down the road at 80 mph.
Standard firearms wouldn’t have been enough to neutralize it instantly. Without heavy artillery, it would have been a massacre.
But with the right magic? A handful of young wizards had managed to subdue it.
A wizard who mastered enough spells held a terrifying advantage over magical creatures.
No wonder centaurs kept to their own territory, giants were driven into the mountains, and goblins were forced into finance at Gringotts, stripped of their right to wield wands.
Even dragons had been domesticated.
...
Early the next morning, Ted’s internal clock woke him up right on schedule. The moment he opened his eyes, a system notification greeted him.

[Sulei’s Alchemical Compendium (Green)]
Records the alchemical potion expertise of Ironforge’s intermediate alchemy trainer, the dwarf Sulei Pulpbubble. Requires 270 experience points to exchange.

Ted blinked. Another relic from Azeroth?
He racked his brain. The name wasn’t ringing any bells, but that wasn’t surprising—no one ever really paid attention to trainers unless they were quest-givers or had important roles.
Did it matter? Not at all.
What mattered was that he was an intermediate alchemy trainer.
In World of Warcraft, alchemy was all about potion-making. There were other side products, sure, but potions were the main draw.
And trainers like this? They carried valuable potion formulas.
270 experience points? A bargain.
Ted didn’t hesitate. He made the exchange.
As the knowledge settled into his mind, he skimmed through it, his excitement growing with every detail.
Absolutely worth it!
Not just 270 experience—this was worth 500, maybe even 1,000 XP!
Ted organized his thoughts, compiling a rough list of newly acquired potion formulas:

Recipe: Minor Healing Potion
Recipe: Lesser Healing Potion
Recipe: Elixir of Lion’s Strength
Recipe: Minor Agility Potion
Recipe: Elixir of Defense
Recipe: Blackmouth Oil
Recipe: Elixir of Giant Growth
Recipe: Elixir of Wisdom

Recipe: Minor Magic Resistance Potion
Recipe: Healing Potion
Recipe: Lesser Mana Potion
Recipe: Anti-Venom
Recipe: Weak Troll’s Blood Elixir
Recipe: Fire Oil
Recipe: Fire Protection Potion
Recipe: Lesser Invisibility Potion
Recipe: Swiftness Potion
Recipe: Elixir of Greater Defense
Recipe: Free Action Potion
____________________
A total of twenty potion formulas—ranging from Fire Oil to Fire Protection Potion, Lesser Invisibility Potion, Swiftness Potion, Greater Defense Potion, and Free Action Potion—stood out, with six of them classified as mid-to-high level.
In the wizarding world, these were the equivalent of advanced potions, on par with Polyjuice Potion in complexity.
Then again, Azeroth was a place where battles erupted every year and world-ending crises loomed every five.
Most of its potions were designed for combat and survival.
These twenty formulas weren’t just useful—they were game changers.
Healing potions spoke for themselves, but the Lion’s Strength Potion could temporarily boost physical power, Troll’s Blood Potion enhanced regeneration, and the Agility Elixir increased reflexes.
And then there were the ones for defense, poison resistance, magic resistance, fire protection—each one incredibly valuable in the right situation.
The only challenge now was adapting the recipes. How could he replace Azerothian ingredients with those found in the wizarding world?
Luckily, for some unknown reason, a few Azerothian herbs had made their way into this world as well. Ted wasn’t going to question why—it was just incredibly convenient.
'Looks like I’ll need to put serious effort into Potions from now on.
Speaking of which, wouldn’t proficiency in alchemy help with potion-making?'
Potions relied on vague measurements like "a drop of this" or "a pinch of that." That was ridiculous! How was that considered precise?
Someone needed to introduce droppers and milligram measurements! Standardized brewing techniques would change everything!
Ted jogged around the Black Lake, stretching his muscles as the cool morning air brushed against his face.
Above him, Anzu, his summoned Raven Lord, soared freely, occasionally harassing the birds nearby just to assert dominance.
After returning to the dormitory, showering, and changing, Ted made his way to the Great Hall with Hermione. The rest of their friends had yet to arrive.
Ted had his nose buried in an extracurricular book, A Detailed Explanation of Potion Progress, while Hermione studied a book on Transfiguration beside him.
The previous night’s battle had clearly left an impression on her.
For the first time, she’d witnessed the real, practical benefits of magic in action. Her drive to study had only intensified.
Before long, the Gryffindor quartet arrived, all yawning and looking half-asleep.
They had been way too excited after last night’s adventure. Even after their secret “celebration feast” in the kitchens, they had stayed up in the common room, hyping up the story with the other Gryffindors.
As a result, fewer Gryffindors than usual were at breakfast this morning. And those who did show up kept sneaking glances at Ted and his group, eyes gleaming with curiosity and excitement—like they were waiting for the next grand adventure.
Hannah Abbott from Hufflepuff suddenly slid into the seat next to Ted, leaning in conspiratorially.
“Hey, Ted, is it true? I heard you fought a gigantic monster last night! Three of them, actually! You barely survived, but in the end, you took them all down, and the corridor was covered in blood…”
Ted stared at her, dumbfounded.
Did I just come back from Icecrown Citadel? Even the Battle for Mount Hyjal wasn’t as gruesome as what she was describing!
At this rate, the rumors would have him down to just a severed head by the end of the week.
“Where did you even hear that?” Ted asked, exasperated.
Hermione turned her head, shooting Ron a sharp look—the I knew it kind of glare.
“I heard it from Lee Jordan in Gryffindor,” Hannah said enthusiastically. “Loads of people have! It’s all over our common room.”
Ted resisted the urge to groan. It was like sitting next to a live fairytale.
Quickly, he tried to set the record straight. “No, no, it wasn’t nearly as dramatic as people are making it sound. We used a lot of spells, held the creatures off until the professors arrived. That’s all.”
From the looks on Ron and Jerry’s faces, even they thought this version of the story was a bit much.
Rumors really did have a life of their own.
Ted recalled something Fred and George Weasley had once said: If you want the whole school to know something, just tell Lee Jordan.
He was basically Hogwarts’ living loudspeaker.
Soon, more groups of curious students came over—not just first-years, but second- and third-years too.
“Ron, did you really use the Levitation Charm on the monster?” one kid asked in awe.
“Jerry, I heard you even managed to cast a really difficult spell!” another chimed in.
Ron, face turning red, puffed up with pride. “There are four key techniques to casting the Levitation Charm, you know? Loose, lively, bounce, swish!”
Jerry, on the other hand, folded his arms. “Copying homework doesn’t count as copying if you learn from it, alright?”
Laughter filled the Great Hall.
Ted hadn’t expected their group to become the school’s morning entertainment, but here they were.
Honestly, Hogwarts needed more fun activities.
Look at these kids! They were starved for something exciting.
