Admiral of Hogwarts

What just happened on the street was an attempted attack. Two wizards claiming to be from the White Robes suddenly attacked a wizard from Durmstrang on the street.

It turned out that the two wizards were obviously unskilled in their business. They wasted several seconds taking off their coats and shouting slogans before the attack to prepare their target.

What's even more unlucky is that the target they chose this time was the Durmstrang student with the strongest single combat ability among the contestants. So when the two of them actually attacked, they found that they couldn't take down this seemingly Wizards who were much younger than them.

Obviously, such densely populated areas are also areas monitored by the Japanese Ministry of Magic. So within a short period of time, the two attackers were arrested by the Ministry of Magic's forces deployed in this area.

"Is this the big attack that the White Robes said before?" Hugo curled his lips as he looked at the two attackers being escorted away by Ministry of Magic staff. "If it's just this level, then they're not that big of a deal."

"You are right, but we don't know now whether they performed this scene for us or whether it is indeed the case." At this time, Enterprise came to Hugo's ear and whispered.

"So, I think it's best for us to take a walk in the shops on this street and collect more intelligence for analysis."

As a result, Hugo and the company were temporarily separated and acted independently. And when they returned to the dock at the appointed time in the afternoon, they both had serious expressions on their faces.

"Something is obviously wrong now." Hugo said to the company after quickly exchanging information through the admiral network. "Many important items have seen significant price increases during this period, and the reason is basically because someone has placed a big order."

"In addition, from what I just learned in the tavern, someone recognized that the two people arrested were not members of the White Robe Society at all, but just gangsters who were making a living in Jinzhu Town."

"More importantly, one of the guys who looked like he was a little drunk kept saying that those two people were not just simple gangsters, but also informants for the Ministry of Magic."

"Your information is very important, at least I didn't find out just now." The company shrugged.

"And I just made a big discovery in the streets, that is, many Japanese wizards believe that their current problems are due to the opening of the country, so many people are applauding the attack just now."

Regarding the current overall atmosphere in Japan's wizarding world, Hugo doesn't think anything is wrong. Because in the past few days, in addition to reading books in the library, he also read a lot of newspapers and magazines.

Without exception, those newspapers and magazines were openly and covertly accusing the International Federation of Wizards, the International Federation of Wizards and the Zhuxia Magic Alliance of squeezing them out, which was also an important reason why they did not gain much from the so-called openness.

But the real situation is not like this. The real cause of the plight of the Japanese wizarding community is themselves.

On the one hand, although his current approach of sitting on the fence seems to be having both sides, it also allows the two major magic organizations to only put some of the most peripheral things here. As a result, it will naturally be difficult for them to obtain sufficient benefits.

On the other hand, the Japanese wizarding family has a much greater degree of control over the Japanese wizarding world than the British wizarding world. This can be seen from the fact that the Magic Institute relies on Japan's huge human resources but has the smallest number of people among the world's famous wizarding colleges.

This is not because the proportion of wizards born in Japan is lower than normal, but because the magic house itself is an aristocratic school, which allows the wizards of these wizard families to be clearly different from other wizards from the beginning.

This internal contradiction also caused the benefits brought by the founding of Japan to be naturally swallowed up by those pure-blood families, while the disadvantages were borne by ordinary wizards. Recommended reading//

As a result, the White Robe Society was born. A group of previously marginalized aristocratic wizards used the dissatisfaction of society as a whole to coerce ordinary wizards, and then began to fight against the aristocratic wizards who controlled Japan's Ministry of Magic.

As the struggle between the two sides gradually intensified, various violent incidents emerged in endlessly. According to statistics, the number of attacks against outsiders in the Japanese wizarding community has at least quadrupled in the past ten years compared to ten years ago.

It was only now that the Japanese Minister of Magic deliberately suppressed the situation after taking office that these attacks on the surface began to decrease. But in Hugo's view, this is just a way to stop the boil and treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

After leaving the magic house, Hugo and Enterprise informed the Japanese Ministry of Magic official who received them about the situations they had observed before, but the official did not take it seriously at all.

"Don't worry, those sporadic attacks against foreigners are just accidental phenomena." The middle-aged male wizard said with a disapproving look.

And you don’t have to worry about being attacked in the next game, because as far as we know, organizations like the White Robes are only capable of randomly attacking foreigners on the streets. "

"Especially since last year, our Minister of Magic has begun a large-scale liquidation of members and sympathizers of the White Robes, and has arrested many of them. Now their organization should have been completely paralyzed."

"More importantly, the location of the last game is now strictly confidential. So if the opponent really wants to attack, it will be impossible to find your location——"

"I think this guy is obviously a little unreliable." Hugo said to the company on the way back to his residence from the Japanese Ministry of Magic official's office. "I feel like after this, the wizarding world in Japan is more dangerous than before."

"They have nothing to do with us anyway. The only thing I hope is that if something happens, it won't happen during our game." The company told Hugo through the Admiral Network.

"Of course, it is a very stupid thing to place your hopes entirely on others, so I hope you can issue a call-up order to summon the available ship girls to prepare for possible emergencies."

At the beginning, Hugo did not intend to do what the company wanted. Because he felt that mobilizing everyone just for a conjecture would be a waste of time and money, and would make him appear timid.

But after the company put the news on the admiral network, the ship girls unanimously decided to let Hugo issue the order to prepare for war.

Since the situation on the Balkan battlefield has now entered a critical period, most European ship girls are busy with work related to that war and cannot get away for the time being.

In this case, except for St. George, all the other ship girls are from the United States. It can even be said that this time, except for a few housekeepers, almost all the American ship girls came out.

"Would it be too thin to leave just two people in Massachusetts and Salem to look after the house?" After dinner that day, Hugo, who received the list of personnel dispatched this time, took the list and discussed it with the company.

"Don't worry, it's enough to leave the two of them alone for now." Seeing no one around, Enterprise leaned over slightly and kissed Hugo's cheek, and then whispered in his ear.

"And to be honest, the time you spent with everyone before was really too short, so everyone wants to take this opportunity to stay with you for a while."
