Evaluation:In ancient times, the great Merlin was revered as the God of Magic. His magical talent nearly reached the limits of mortal potential, comparable to that of a divine being. He stands as one of the undisputed pinnacles of the magical world.
Note:Magical talent is divided into ten levels from highest to lowest: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Any talent reaching S-level or above is enough for a wizard to become a master in that field.
Looking at the golden talent card floating before him, Aris's eyes shone brightly.
Even before this, he had been confident in his abilities. With his learning talents alone, he believed that even with average magical aptitude, he would eventually accomplish something extraordinary.
But now—
The talent template of Merlin, the legendary wizard revered as the God of Magic, was right in front of him.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't excited.
Every magical field listed on the card had S-level talent or higher.
Both White Magic and Transfiguration had even reached the ultimate SSS level.
This was the very limit of mortal talent—something that could almost rival the power of gods.
With such overwhelming talent, even an idiot could become a terrifying magical powerhouse simply by allowing their magic to grow naturally over time.
And Aris?
He possessed not only this talent—
But also the Scholar System.
In addition, Merlin's special talents surprised him even more.
According to legend, Merlin possessed the ability to transform into countless animals and communicate with them. He was also a master prophetic astrologer, often assisting King Arthur by foreseeing future events.
These abilities were nothing short of extraordinary.
Among them, even the seemingly ordinary wandless casting ability was extremely rare in the modern wizarding world.
In fact, it could be considered an incredibly valuable talent.
Many wizards were practically helpless once they lost their wands—almost no different from Muggles.
From what Aris remembered, only a handful of the most powerful wizards at the peak of the magical world could perform wandless magic effectively.
For example—
Albus Dumbledore.
Even then, the power of wandless spells was often greatly reduced.
This alone demonstrated how valuable this talent truly was.
At this moment, Aris could hardly imagine just how powerful he might become with such extraordinary abilities.
Perhaps surpassing legendary figures like Dumbledore, Grindelwald, or even Voldemort would simply be a matter of time.
"Fuse the Talent Card!"
With a single thought, the golden card floating within his consciousness suddenly dissolved into a brilliant beam of light and merged into the depths of his soul.
A strange sensation surged through him.
His entire soul trembled.
It felt like experiencing pure bliss itself.
Inside the room…
Little Luna Lovegood sat beside the bed.
Her waist-length golden hair—slightly messy as always—brushed lightly against Aris's ear.
Her silver eyes curiously examined the boy's face and long silver hair.
She looked almost ethereal, carrying a unique and dreamy temperament.
Even now, Luna firmly believed that a boy with such beautiful hair and such a handsome face could not possibly be ordinary.
Suddenly—
A mysterious power erupted from Aris's body.
The invisible force spread outward in all directions.
Luna's golden hair lifted into the air as if blown by a gentle wind.
Under the influence of this strange power, her entire body slowly lifted off the floor and began floating.
Not just her.
Every movable object in the room—chairs, tables, books—rose into the air as well.
It was as if gravity itself had vanished.
The objects slowly began to circle around Aris's body.
Luna's eyes widened in surprise.
"A magic riot!"
The fusion of Aris and Merlin's talent template had triggered an extremely powerful magical surge.
But Luna didn't realize she was in any danger.
Instead, the first thought that crossed her mind was:
The little brother really is magical—just like me!
Father was wrong!
Floating in the air with her arms stretched wide, Luna laughed happily.
She looked like a joyful little fairy as she enjoyed the feeling of weightlessness, drifting around the boy on the bed.
Then—
Rapid footsteps sounded outside the door.
The door burst open.
Xenophilius Lovegood rushed into the room.
The moment he saw the chaotic scene inside, his eyes widened in shock.
His body trembled slightly as he instinctively pulled out his wand, ready to cast a spell at any moment.
"Luna! What have you done?!"
Xenophilius looked anxiously at his daughter.
At first, he assumed that Luna had somehow caused the magical riot.
"Father, it wasn't me!" Luna said cheerfully while pointing at Aris.
"I told you he wasn't ordinary! This is his magic going wild!"
"Him?"
Xenophilius turned his gaze toward the boy lying on the bed.
Only then did he carefully sense the source of the magical energy filling the room.
His eyes widened.
"This magical power… it's incredibly strong."
"Who exactly is this child?"
A deep frown formed on his face.
Alongside the shock, a trace of worry appeared.
Everything happening before him forced him to admit one thing—
The boy Luna had brought home was definitely a wizard.
And judging by the strength of this magical outburst…
His bloodline was likely far from ordinary.
In the wizarding world, magical talent was often closely tied to bloodline.
This was a fact acknowledged by most wizarding families.
Of course, there were exceptions.
For example—
Muggle-born witches and wizards.
But even so, the intensity of this magical surge made Xenophilius uneasy.
"The objects return to the ground!"
With a gentle wave of his wand, Xenophilius cast a spell.
Instantly, the floating furniture lost its levitation and fell back onto the floor.
Luna, who had still been floating happily, slowly descended as well.
Her father caught her and gently placed her back on the ground.
"Father…"
Luna looked up at him hopefully.
"Can we keep this little brother?"
Although Aris's identity had not been confirmed yet, Luna clearly believed that since he was magical like them, there would be no need to worry about the Statute of Secrecy.
And if he stayed…
They could play together.
She seemed completely unaware—or perhaps simply unconcerned—that having an unknown magical child suddenly appear in their home could lead to serious trouble.
Xenophilius didn't answer her question.
Instead, he stared at Aris for a long moment.
Then he slowly walked toward the bed.
Standing beside it, he looked down at the boy.
Finally, he spoke calmly.
"Wake up."
"I know you're awake."
