Looking at the scene in the photo, the huge rock wall was carved with four heads—Lucas found it increasingly familiar.
That's not how President Rock looks.
Wait… don't tell me… is this the Naruto world this time?
Suddenly, Lucas remembered.
After all, he had lived in this world for eleven years, and his memories had become very vague.
For example, in the current Harry Potter world, Lucas could only remember a few famous characters.
As for the plot, it was already blurry.
The last two worlds the frog cub had visited were incredibly powerful.
The last one, the Fairy Tail world, had brought back a Thunder Dragon Slayer crystal.
Who knows what interesting specialties this Naruto world will bring back?
Thinking about this, Lucas began to look forward to it.
Time passed quickly in those boring days.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day before school started.
Lucas sat in front of the fireplace and handed his finished letter to the waiting owl.
It was a reply to Hermione.
Since they separated, they had been communicating through owl letters.
"Thanks a lot."
After opening the window, the pure white owl flew into the sky.
At that moment, Lucas turned his head to look at the frog cub sleeping in its nest. It had returned half a month ago.
And it had brought back a special souvenir.
A small scroll.
Through identification, Lucas learned the scroll's full name: [Spirituality].
Since then, the frog cub had been resting in the nest and hadn't gone on another journey.
But Lucas didn't need anything else to enhance his strength right now—after all, the Thunder Dragon Slayer crystal was enough to study for years.
The dragon magic in his mind—Lucas had nearly mastered it by now.
Except for the ultimate Dragon Slayer Secret Art, he could easily activate everything else.
In addition, Lucas's body was growing stronger by the day. His once-flat abdomen had become angular and defined.
But in terms of appearance, with clothes on, there was not much difference from before.
He even tested his strength. Now, Lucas could easily lift a solid wood table with one hand.
"Is the dragon crystal constantly changing my physique?"
Lucas looked up at the blue sky and muttered to himself.
Forget it. Anyway, he wasn't going to turn into a dragon like the first generation of Dragon Slayer magicians.
After all, he was a second-generation user with a transplanted crystal. It wouldn't have the same effect.
No point in thinking about it anymore.
Right now, Lucas needed to prepare for school tomorrow.
Books, clothes, headphones, game consoles…
Most of these items didn't belong to this era—they were things the frog cub had brought back from previous worlds.
By the time he finished packing, bright noon had turned into a starry night.
After dinner, the owl returned with a letter from Hermione in its beak.
The contents were simple: meet at King's Cross Station tomorrow.
Although Lucas and Hermione both lived in London, the distance between their homes was fairly significant.
With everything ready, Lucas went to bed.
On the spacious bed, moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a glow on his face.
Except for the occasional croaking of the frog cub, the entire room fell into silence.
Six o'clock in the morning.
Lucas woke up early.
After a shower and a quick breakfast, he left with his luggage and hailed a taxi.
King's Cross was famous throughout London. It was a Grade 1 station built in the heart of the city.
Lucas had been to King's Cross before, but he never imagined it would be connected to the wizarding world.
His house wasn't far from central London, and thanks to the speed of the taxi, it only took about half an hour to get there.
When Lucas got out of the car with his luggage, he spotted a girl with fluffy hair scanning the crowd.
"Hi Lucas, over here!"
Just as Lucas was about to look around, Hermione's brown eyes found the blond-haired Lucas.
As Lucas walked over, Hermione tilted her head and asked curiously:
"Lucas, did you grow taller or something?"
"Did I? Maybe it's just a growth spurt."
Of course, Lucas knew exactly why—but he couldn't say it out loud.
At eleven years old, Lucas was already about 155 cm tall, which made him quite noticeable among kids his age.
"Oh—is that frog on your head your pet?"
Hermione's eyes widened with curiosity as she pointed at the frog cub lounging atop Lucas's head.
"Frog cub. That's my pet," Lucas said, taking the frog off and holding it out. "It's a frog that likes to travel."
The frog cub didn't look like a normal frog—it resembled a creature from a game.
Its cute appearance immediately caught Hermione's attention.
"So adorable! Like a magical creature."
She gently petted the frog cub's head with envy in her eyes.
"I want one too. If it has babies, can I have one?"
Babies?
Lucas's mouth twitched as he looked at the frog cub playing dead in his hands.
That seemed… unlikely.
He didn't even know whether it was male or female.
"Sure," he nodded after a moment's pause.
They chatted as they walked and soon reached the space between platforms nine and ten.
"Platform 9¾? Where is that?" asked the Grangers, who were following behind and looking around in confusion.
"It should be that pillar," Lucas said, checking his ticket and pointing.
"I saw it mentioned in the Hogwarts magazine. That pillar is the entrance to the platform."
Saying that, Lucas picked up his luggage and walked toward it.
"I'll go first!"
As his fingers touched the patterned pillar, it became clear it was only a magical illusion.
Then, under the Grangers' astonished eyes, Lucas walked right through it.
Hermione followed his example, quickly slipping through after him.
The Grangers came in right after.
On the other side, a dark locomotive awaited, its name clearly visible:
[Hogwarts Express]
The train to the magic school was about to depart!
