Life in the orphanage has returned to normal.

The preschool children can play with car dolls again; everyone can play games in the yard after morning prayer every weekend.Although the older children who had gone to boarding school did not return, the orphanage took in two new 12-year-olds.

The children were happy, and Anna and Susan had been somber and breathless some time ago.The days are finally boring again, thank God, I can continue my silly and cute childhood again.

As for Tom and Wendy who were still running to Anna and clamoring for tutoring, everyone looked at them as if they were martyrs.

Two small courses have been added.Tom starts a new physical education class every day. Although Anna has never guided him, little Tom has foreign aid.Wendy has her medical journals to read. In fact, scientists in this era are very magical existences. Because of the harsh experimental conditions, everyone uses all kinds of brain holes and uses various roundabout methods to approach the truth of the world.This is an era of great development and maturation of scientific thinking, and Wendy looks at the original documents in her hand with a lot of emotion.

Anna's language class has not stopped, and ever since she learned about the "Wendy-nitroglycerin" incident, Wendy has been asked to read all kinds of strange texts: historical, philosophical, chemical, mathematical... Wendy is like a bottomless pit, no matter what knowledge is filled in, it will not be filled out.Anna went from being surprised at the beginning to being very interested and then speechless. She considers herself a genius, and completed all the training of the organization in two years, but... Anna looked innocent and immersed in the German version of "Critique of Pure Reason". Wendy in ", the world is really big.

The exploration of magic has stagnated, because it is limited by the development of Wendy and Tom's magic power.At present, Wendy's best skills are light emission magic and force magic, faintly touching the threshold of light perception.Although Tom doesn't have a set of scientific theories to establish a light magic system, he is slightly inferior in this respect, but Tom's talent for controlling small animals is beyond Wendy's flattery.The only thing Wendy can do with little ants is violent floating, not like Tom, who wants to be an ant king, he can be an ant king, and if he wants to be a beetle king, he can be a beetle king.

"Where did you find these two good youngsters?" Dick said to Anna.It was time for summer vacation, and he came to pick Tom up for the Cub Scouts. "The little princess can definitely take over from Conrad's class, and the little prince's efforts have far exceeded my expectations."

"Oh, it's a pity that the little princess doesn't know how old she can live, and your little prince, the reason for his hard work is that he wants to fight and win two 11-year-old brats."

"Anna—you're still so wrong."

"..."

"If you didn't have expectations for them, why bother teaching them so hard. You are not a nosy person."

"Dick, I have no intention of developing their succession. If the war breaks out in five years, we will not wait for them to take over."

"Are you so sure that war will break out in five years?"

"It's neither central nor far away. In fact, you also know in your heart that in Germany... we are not ignorant ordinary people."

"Anna, if we sacrifice..."

"Are you afraid of sacrifice?"

"No, I'm just afraid that no one will cover the flag for me."

"Hey. Your little prince is here, teach him well, maybe he can cover you with the national flag in the future."

Tom came back from the Boy Scouts, dark and thin.But his eyes are full of energy, and his temperament is much brighter.

But when he saw his little friend who was much thinner than himself, his eyes were filled with haze and sharpness.

The children were generally emaciated.The caretakers grimaced.Wendy has been lying in the medical room for a week, if Dr. Conrad Watson hadn't given her daily glucose injections, the situation would have been even worse.

Another executive fell from the sky and landed on Susan.

"I'm Mrs. Banner, the supervisor here. Are you Tom Riddle? I heard that you went to the mountains to be a savage?"

"It's the Boy Scouts, ma'am."

"It's all the same! I'm telling you—my son was a real soldier, and he died with honor on the battlefields of France. You ungrateful puppies who only know how to play in mud, if it wasn't for my son they would be on the battlefield Fighting bravely, how can you live a peaceful life?! You still have to complain to me, hungry, hungry, what do you know besides eating? A group of ungrateful bastards, when they grow up, they are also moths of society! My son, that is Daying Heroes of the Empire! You..."

Tom's self-control has clearly improved over the past month.In the face of Mrs. Banner's saliva, he did not turn his face, and kept an obedient listening attitude.

But as soon as he went out, his face immediately darkened.

"The old turkey is out of his mind!" concluded Tom.

Banner brand "Old Turkey" not only wants to promote her "glorious" son to all members every day, but she also has a wild nature: to collect money, only to get in and out.

The food has shrunk significantly, and my stomach growled just after eating.The most difficult thing is Billy. He has a big appetite, but since Mrs. Banner heard his complaint about hunger, he has been fasted twice for three days.If it weren't for a few little girls with small appetites who secretly helped him, he would probably collapse from starvation.

Wendy's appetite is actually not small, because she also consumes extra magic power.When she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, the magic experiment had to be stopped.Then, she immediately fell into a coma again due to hypoglycemia.

Tom, who was accustomed to eating Scout food, felt sick at the sight of a tiny potato on his dinner plate.So, he started a new magic attempt and soon succeeded.

"Wendy, Wendy. Look!" Tom entered the infirmary mysteriously.Taking it out of his pocket, he took out a small potato.

Wendy blinked suspiciously.

Tom smiled smugly, and then the potato was inflated like a balloon, and finally became as large as 30 cm in diameter.

Magnification spell? !

The two children shared the big potato happily.Then, I heard my stomach growling. . .

Sure enough, the enlarging spell and the shrinking spell are spells that do not change the essence of the object.It's just a cover-up that changes the volume and mass of the surface.In other words, they actually just shared a small potato.

One of the fundamental theorems of magic: Food cannot be conjured out of thin air.

Although Tom was disappointed by the effect of the magnification spell, they finally learned a new set of magic spells.

In desperation, Tom asked Dick for help, and secretly moved a large bag of food from Watson and Dick's apartment.Orphans under starvation are united like never before.After everyone wolfed down a piece of bread and a small piece of sausage, they all expressed their thanks to Tom and Wendy.Jessica was still a little awkward, but at night she secretly said to Wendy:

"I have always hated you. You are prettier and luckier than us. You have a good background and a good education. Susan, Anna, they all like you. Obviously you are a troublesome sick child. Even if you are in trouble You have to escape from the orphanage, and you can meet noble people. I really, really hate you. The most annoying thing is that you don't hate me yet, the little angel Wendy makes me look like a jealous clown."

"Actually, I hate you too, really. Who likes someone who doesn't like you all the time? I just...not so obviously."

"Really? Then you still share my food?"

"Although I hate you, I don't want you to starve to death. It's not such a big hatred."

"Pfft, that's it. Then you really hate me?"

"Well, really."

So Jessica was satisfied, and happily continued to fight with Wendy with eyebrows not eyebrows and nose not nose.Wendy felt that she really couldn't understand the brain circuits of some friends.

Tom couldn't often go to Dick's to carry food, so everyone still often went hungry.But thanks to foreign aid, at least there is no existential crisis.Wendy also quickly thought of an alternative.

She remembered that in the "Harry Potter" series, Hagrid used the "speed growth spell" on pumpkins to make them grow as big as houses.It's not a time-effective blindfold like the magnification spell, but quick-acting growth!Isn't it just using magic to accelerate plant photosynthesis efficiency and auxin secretion?

Tom steals a baby raw potato from the kitchen, and Wendy's experiment begins.

Wendy secretly buried the potatoes in the corner of the yard, and then began to discuss with the potatoes: can we grow faster?

It didn't work out at first, but when the potatoes sprouted naturally, the communication went much smoother.

Two months later, Wendy was able to successfully convert magic power into bioenergy.The two new tubers of the small potato seedlings also grew to a diameter of 25 cm, a size beyond the limit of the species' original potential.Another week Tom and Wendy scooped up two new potatoes and roasted them.Didn't give it to the friends because they couldn't explain the magic.

In the potato experiment, Wendy was delighted to discover that she had a stronger affinity for plants than Tom did.Maybe, at Hogwarts, she could get an O in Herbalism.
