Yes, Xifa does not feel that his thinking is more active and his reactions are faster.

Thinking can also be cultivated by practicing magic.

Xifa quickly asked Luna.

"It works well, I have a few questions."

Speaking of this, both Elise and Luna turned their attention to the frowning Xifa.

"I feel that the sobriety medicine cannot speed up my thinking or improve my reaction force, but it can only prevent me from being tired."

"By analogy, does the stamina potion only make you energetic and not feel tired, but your physical fitness will not change?"

"The physical fitness is changed by the violent potion..."

Luna added quietly.

Xifa paused, "Are there no side effects?"

"Yes..."

Luna lacks confidence.

"Do you have any objections to going out for a run every morning in the future?"

"No..." x2

Luna and Elise looked at each other and said in unison weakly.

In the coming weekends, I will exercise in the morning and in the afternoon...

After finishing the meat and vegetable lunch, Xifa thought about the arrangements for the afternoon.

Yes, find Professor Dumbledore.

Maybe, he will arrange an empty classroom for us.

However, Xifa's good wishes were shattered before they could be uttered.

【I’m going out for something, I’ll be back on Monday!】

Knocking on Professor Dumbledore's office, a string of golden and red words appeared above it.

"Huh?"

Elise made a surprised sound on the side.

"Why are you surprised? This must be a method developed by Professor Dumbledore against you. He sneaked in and took away a letter while he was away!"

Luna scolded her mercilessly.

Making Elise cover her face in shame.

Xifa smiled. Suddenly, he thought of a perfect location.

————————————

Hogwarts Main Castle

The number of floors is eight

Here, in addition to the principal's office, there is also the Gryffindor lounge.

Although it was Saturday afternoon, the entire floor was quiet and deserted.

But with the arrival of the three people, the still picture gained a touch of life.

"Xifa, this is the Gryffindor lounge!"

Looking at Xifa who had a clear goal in front of her and went straight to the portrait of the fat woman, Elise couldn't help but speak.

"I just came to take a look."

Xifa smiled.

"I guess we can't go in at will."

"Of course, as long as you tell the correct password! Anyone can enter if you tell the correct password!"

The fat lady with half-closed eyes in the portrait said in a low voice as if she was sleeping.

However, I did not wait for the correct password or prayer words.

She opened her eyes suddenly and realized that the three people in front of her were not students from her college.

"Children, you are the first-year freshmen! Inter-houses are not allowed to share the lounge! Of course, we, Gryffindor, are the exception. As long as you sincerely be friends with us... I almost forgot, you should leave quickly.

! The war is about to break out, and martial law will be enforced in the school this semester. It is clear that the war has nothing to do with the little wizard in the school, but he actually created portraits of us..."

The fat lady was obviously full of energy when she woke up from her sleep, and she started chattering about the school's ban.

"Uh, sorry for disturbing Madam's rest, we'll leave now."

Xifa couldn't stand this kind of passionate exchange, so he saluted, and before the Fat Madam could react, he led the two of them and fled.

"Gryffindor is famous for its hospitality! Like in previous years, everyone knew that Gryffindor's lounge was on the eighth floor. Even so, no one could sneak into their house's lounge. It's no exaggeration.

To put it bluntly, I am afraid that a random person from their college can skillfully name every Gryffindor student."

A truly hospitable Gryffindor!

Xifa clicked her tongue, in Gryffindor, friendship has no age distinction.

"Of course, our college does not hide our lounge."

On the other side, Luna added.

"But few outsiders can answer the door knocker question correctly."

"Where are the other two colleges? Do you know?"

Elise thought for a while,

"It should be on the basement floor. I don't know the specifics of Slytherin. Hufflepuff is next to the kitchen."

"Kitchen?! Do you know where the kitchen is?!"

"Of course!"

Elise proudly stroked her chest and puffed up her chest.

"Hehe——"

Xifa showed a strange smile.

Luna and Elise looked at each other, hugged each other, and pretended to be scared.

Fighting and making noise.

The three of them returned to the eighth floor foyer.

"Next, I need a little help from you."

Xifa took a step forward, turned around and shook a finger at the two of them.

"Here? Do you want to practice magic here? Did you see the stone beast? Behind it is our principal's office!"

"Ahem, no, that's right, uh..."

"Ahem, of course not here. I heard an interesting story from my senior last night."

Inviting the two of them to come closer, Xifa lowered his voice and said when he saw no one was around.

"He went on a date with his girlfriend here and discovered a magical house here. Unfortunately, he only saw it once."

Western methods are serious nonsense.

But Elise and Luna didn't hear about any secret rooms or magical houses.

I don’t care about Xifa’s expression of making up stories.

Just the word "date" makes both of them dizzy.

The two of them were in harmony and did not question Western methods.

They searched the entire foyer silently.

The two even used their wands to cast detection magic, poking and beating in an attempt to find the hidden mechanism.

Xifa vaguely remembers it being next to a picture.

However, until Xifa passed through all the portraits, nothing changed at all.

As the sun gradually sets.

The two girls gave up and came to Xifa to comfort him.

"Xifa, your news may be a prank, let's go back first."

"Yes, this is Gryffindor's territory after all. If we are surrounded for a while, we will be unable to withstand it."

I always feel like I'm missing something.

Portraits, isn’t the triggering mechanism in this world portraits?
