The Admiral of Hogwarts

"Are you talking about the remaining three Fate Points?" Hugo frowned and thought for a moment before saying. "Of course, I'll continue summoning your companions. Anyway, I definitely won't take these three Fate Points back to school. Because you know, these points are useless at school."

"If that's the case, I suggest you summon them on the last day of Christmas vacation," Hood suggested. "After all, as soon as it's January 1st, your annual Fate Points will be credited to your account. And this year, because you entered Hogwarts and started participating in the main storyline, the Fate Points you receive will be doubled."

"That means I'll have five Fate Points at that time." Hearing Hood say this, Hugo immediately understood what he was going to say. For him now, if he could summon a large ship-girl after a short wait, it would naturally be better than a medium-sized ship-girl.

Just as the two of them finished their conversation, footsteps came from the stairs. It turned out that Hermione had also finished talking with Veneto and Firefly and came down. She looked very excited because the two ship-girls' rooms were decorated with a fusion of ordinary people's and wizards' styles, which she found very novel.

And in the following time, Hood prepared a perfect afternoon tea for everyone. As a navy, especially the navy of the Great Ying Empire, at least in terms of afternoon tea, it should be said that no one can surpass them.

Moreover, while drinking tea, Firefly extended an invitation to Hermione and Veneto, inviting them to come and study magic together during the holidays. She said that her family was a wizarding family, so there was a place to practice magic, unlike the Granger family, who could only study theory when learning magic because they were in the Muggle world.

Hermione was obviously attracted by Firefly's invitation, especially since Hood also said that she and Belfast had learned magic through some kind of master-apprentice relationship and had not studied at any magic school. So she very much hoped to communicate more with Hugo and the other Hogwarts wizards.

This reason was not strange. According to the information Hermione had obtained from chatting with several pure-blood Ravenclaw seniors before, in fact, the earliest form of education in the magic world was master-apprentice and family inheritance. Even now, in the United Kingdom, which has the highest enrollment rate, many people still choose family magic education.

And in other parts of Europe, this kind of master-apprentice inheritance is even more popular than in the United Kingdom, and it is more vital. Especially in Southeast Europe, where there are no famous schools, and in Germany and Northern Europe, which refuse Muggle-born wizards to enter school.

Especially after the former Death Eater Igor Karkaroff took office, as an unprincipled and conceited person, he deliberately fostered a atmosphere of fear and intimidation among the students, so that many parents took their children back from Durmstrang during his tenure. And some of these children, in addition to transferring schools, returned to traditional family education.

And Hood herself, according to her public resume, had been wandering around Europe and studying in various places. Hermione also learned this from Veneto. So after hearing Hood say this now, she nodded slightly.

Of course, in addition to this reason, Hood also made some additions to Firefly's invitation. After a brief exchange, Hermione realized that the house Hood was talking about where she could practice magic was in the west of London, even on the same street as her own home, with a straight-line distance of no more than 200 meters. If she wanted to go, she only needed to walk.

Of course, this house was specially bought by Hood, and it also served as a place for her subordinate wizards to carry out cleaning work. On the one hand, Hood hoped to be closer to her admiral, and on the other hand, it was because they were engaged in the cleaning work of certain luxury goods, which was obviously more suitable in middle-class areas than in other places.

Most importantly, at this distance, Hood could guarantee that the ship-girls there could use their firepower to support the admiral located at the Granger's house at any time, and clean up any enemies that might appear around his house without damaging the Granger's house.

"We, we are also very willing." After Hood finished explaining her reasons for the invitation, Hermione naturally stopped being coy and directly expressed her thoughts. "However, this matter still needs our parents' consent."

Hood naturally understood Hermione's approach. After all, she and her admiral were only 11-year-old children now. In this situation, they definitely had to discuss it with their family. So after hearing Hermione finish speaking, she smiled and began to recommend the blueberry sandwiches she had made herself to the three little ones and a lady disguised as a little one.

After Hugo and the others returned home, Hermione brought up the matter at the dinner table. After listening to Hermione's explanation of the cause and effect, Mr. Granger put down the cutlery and showed a thoughtful expression, and then said: "No wonder they were able to clean my briefcase so cleanly. If they used magic, then it would make sense."

It turned out that after that shop opened before, Mr. Granger cleaned his usual leather bag out of curiosity, and found that the cleaning results were better than he had imagined. So now, after hearing Hermione say this, he immediately remembered this matter.

"If that's the case, you can go to your classmate's house and study with them," Mr. Granger nodded and said, "Although I don't know how you should study magic, I think it shouldn't be too different from ordinary knowledge. In addition to studying theoretical knowledge, you also need to do more practical exercises."

"Thank you, Dad." After hearing their father's permission, Hugo and Hermione thanked Mr. Granger at the same time. Then, on the second day of the holiday, the two of them came to the underground secret room of that house and completed the assignments arranged by the professors and practiced magic and fighting with Veneto and Firefly.

Taking this opportunity, Hermione gradually completed the first part of her basic physical training under the guidance of several ship-girls, and then officially began to learn combat skills.

What Hermione should learn was also something that the ship-girls had racked their brains over. After all, unlike Hugo, who could continuously receive enhancements, Hermione's physical fitness was only at the level of an ordinary girl, even after strengthening training, it was only a little stronger than the level of ordinary people.

Therefore, she had to consider her specific physical level in the learning process, and could not simply copy the plan for training Hugo. So after some discussion, they decided to let Hermione follow Veneto to learn.

After all, compared to the orthodox military combat methods mastered by Firefly and Hood, the various small-scale melee techniques that the Sicilian Mafia exchanged for blood and lives in Veneto's hands were more suitable for Hermione.

Therefore, after studying during this period, Hermione began to learn various fighting techniques from Veneto. And although Hugo couldn't see her specific progress in this area, he could feel that the most obvious change in his sister was that her body was much better than before. At least she didn't catch a cold this winter like she did in previous years. It can be seen that this kind of learning in fighting can be said to have many benefits.
