NOVEL NEXT Chapter 25: Albus Dumbledore's Power
Everything happened so quickly that the spectators could barely keep up.
This was the first time Harry Black's physical strength was clearly described through the curtain of light.
In fact, Harry Black's punch had a crushing power of 800 kg!
And this without the use of martial arts techniques, with an 11-year-old body; otherwise, it might have been even more frightening.
What no one could imagine was that, in the near future, the record for the heaviest weight ever lifted by a human being, held by Canadian Gregg Ernst, who would lift two cars with drivers on his back, totaling 2,422 kg.
Of course, this was only possible thanks to the physical principles proposed by Archimedes.
Ron Weasley: "I don't understand… just how strong is Harry with his punch reaching the 800 kg mark?"
George Weasley: "Oh, little Ron, you weigh about 37 kilos now. That means Harry could lift 21 of you!"
Fred Weasley: "Don't be silly, George. That's the power of Harry's punch with just one hand! I'm sure he could carry 30 Rons and run through the Forbidden Forest without breaking a sweat!"
Gellert Grindelwald: "Hey, hey! Are you sure we're talking about a human and not a giant in disguise?"
Arthur Weasley: "Speaking of giants, I remember the day my flying Ford Anglia broke down on the road. Hagrid had to help me carry it back to the Burrow… with one hand. Hagrid, how much strength did you use that time?"
Rubeus Hagrid: "How much? Well… maybe about 20% or less… hahaha!"
Everyone: "…"
The mystery was solved!
No wonder Harry feels a bit insecure about himself. Hagrid really is worthy of having a half-giant lineage!
Arthur's car weighs about 750 kg, so that means he can carry over 3,750 kg, almost 4 tons!
Lily Potter: "It must be because my little Harry ate well during his childhood and is healthy and strong~"
Everyone: "…"
The expression "mother's love is blind" truly makes sense here.
Who would believe that good nutrition would make a child have the strength of over 800 kg?!
Even Harry couldn't help but gently tug on his mother's clothes, embarrassed, asking her not to make so much noise.
But the discussion soon shifted to a more intriguing topic: the quantification of magical power!
It's important to mention that Harry's ability to sense magical power was acquired after years of practice with the [Magical Training Method], granting him extraordinary control and sensitivity over magic.
To date, no spell or alchemical item capable of measuring a wizard's magical power has ever been heard of.
Therefore, important figures in the magical world, such as Aurors from the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts professors, discuss specific skills, like spell mastery, potion knowledge, and other essential skills such as politics and business, rather than the amount of magical power accumulated.
But who wouldn't want to compare their magical power to others and boast about it?
As if knew everyone's thoughts, the curtain of light revealed Harry's perspective on magical power in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. Some people were impressed.
They saw that the amount of magical power emanating from the Slytherin table exceeded the other houses, followed by Gryffindor, then Ravenclaw, and lastly, Hufflepuff, which filled some with indignation.
Pomona Sprout: "I don't accept this! Why do my house's students have the lowest magical power level?"
Bellatrix Lestrange: "Hmph! What a surprise! Everyone knows that Hufflepuff is where mudbloods who don't stand out in any of the characteristics of the other houses go. Those badgers are just brats who invade the kitchen in the evening to hold a banquet!"
Newt Scamander: "…?!"
Newt Scamander: "Oh, it seems the Death Eaters are very comfortable lately. How about I introduce a few of my pets to entertain them?"
Newt was furious at Bellatrix's words.
Although expelled from Hogwarts, he was a Hufflepuff at heart and couldn't tolerate disrespect toward his house.
He quietly decided that Bellatrix would need to meet some of his dragons to learn to respect others better.
Lucius Malfoy: "There's nothing wrong with what Bellatrix said. How could Muggle-born wizards compare to pure-blood families?"
Harry Potter: "I disagree. Look at Hermione. She is actually one of the students with the most magical power in our year."
With Harry's reminder, everyone looked and realized that, indeed, the girl beside Harry Black had magical power that approached that of Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott, both from pure-blood families, and even surpassed Ron Weasley by a small margin.
But everyone could see how much she had worked to learn magic before entering Hogwarts, and therefore found it fair.
However, Harry's unconscious recognition made Hermione cast a grateful look at him, feeling happy that her effort was finally recognized.
A glimmer of friendship and gratitude lit up her gaze. But Harry, oblivious to this, continued paying attention to the conversations in the chat group.
Love? Nonsense! At the moment, what Harry wanted most was a reward that would bring his father back to life so the family could joyfully reunite.
That was all that mattered to him.
Lily noticed her son's obliviousness to Hermione's gaze and displayed a disappointed expression.
Ah! It looks like her son is still a long way from catching up with Harry Black, who is already flirting with girls! Look at you, making no progress at all!
Perhaps it will still be a while until I can hold my chubby grandchild!
With that, the conversation soon migrated to another important topic: the devastating power of the White Demon of the magical world — Albus Dumbledore.
Seeing the amount of magical power that resembled a vast ocean, everyone realized that Dumbledore hadn't gained his fame by mere luck.
Minerva McGonagall: "I didn't imagine that Headmaster Dumbledore held so much power in his old body. This has truly broadened my horizons."
James Potter: "The Headmaster remains as strong as ever! There's no doubt he can manage Hogwarts for many years to come."
Barty Crouch Jr.: "Damn! Why doesn't that senile old man pass on already and let dark wizards take over?"
Gellert Grindelwald: "Albus, I didn't expect you still had so much power despite the passing years. Tell me, what methods did you use to achieve this?"
