"George, from today onwards, you are my Ollivander's student. I will do my best to cultivate you into a master of wand-making like me!"
In the wand shop, Ollivanders's hands trembled slightly as he held the box of unicorn tail hair tightly, promising George in earnest.
"Don't get too excited, I believe in you."
George looked at Ollivanders's eyes, which were bloodshot at that moment, and worried that he might accidentally break them due to his excessive excitement.
For a wizard like Ollivanders, who dedicates his life to studying wands, giving him eight thousand unicorn tails is almost like giving a martial arts fan eight thousand top-tier martial arts texts and giving a womanizing man eight thousand top-level beauties.
Not to mention having him teach you the art of wand-making; he wouldn't even hesitate to kneel down and call you dad.
"Okay, okay, when do you want to start learning?"
Ollivanders struggled to calm down his overly excited emotions, and then asked.
With so many top-grade core wands, perhaps before he dies, he really can research out a wand as powerful as the legendary old wand, becoming a legend in the wizarding world and a myth in the wand-making realm.
"If possible, start now."
George didn't want to waste time. If he learned how to make wands earlier, his original body and another clone could have wands earlier, and his strength would also increase significantly.
Running his fingers over the box of unicorn tail hair in his hand, Ollivander hesitated not at all. He got up and hung the "Closed for Business" sign at the door, then took George to the backyard.
Since George wants to learn now, he will start teaching him now.
So George began his joyful holiday wand-making journey.
Even on Christmas Day, he didn't let go of Ollivander, studying with the other until it got dark before returning to the apothecary shop.
Just that on Christmas morning, he still took some time to choose various gifts to have Peache send out.
Among them were Tonks and her Auror colleagues, Slytherin classmates from the same year, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna, Ginny and other friends as well as every professor at the school.
Even Dumbledore received a gift from him.
Of course, they were not expensive gifts. While he was not short on money, gifts cannot be too expensive, otherwise, they would be impersonal and become a burden.
Because the other person will also return a gift.
And so, time continued on like this until the day before the end of the Christmas holiday.
"This one is quite good, it can be considered a passable wand. You have a good talent for wand-making, but don't be proud. After returning to school, you still need to continue practicing."
Ollivanders looked at the wand made with monster hair as the core and pine wood as the wandstick, nodding with satisfaction.
At first, he just wanted to give George a casual lesson.
Wand-making is not a simple or easy craft. It requires a solid understanding of basic material knowledge, wand core treatment, and wandstick woodworking, which can't be mastered in just a few months.
But he never expected that George had a very high talent for wand-making.
Firstly, with the complex basic knowledge, he understood much of it with just one explanation. Secondly, he had a strong hands-on ability and rarely made mistakes. In just over a month, he managed to craft a qualified wand.
Although there are still some imperfections, they are not important. As long as it is hung normally in the store, it can be sold.
"Thank you for your guidance these past few days. I'll come to seek your advice again after the summer vacation."
George politely said goodbye to Ollivander and then pushed open the door to leave the wand shop.
George could learn to make wands so quickly, not because he had a particularly high talent for wand-making, but mainly because he had three brains to learn at once and far surpassed the physical abilities of a normal wizard.
And with already having seen many magic books about wand-making while at school, he had a certain base to build on.
"This kid, if he dedicates himself to wand-making in the future, he won't be any worse than me."
Looking at George's disappearing back, Ollivanders sighed again.
At the same time, the Guild of Dragon’s Tail.
George flew out of the library, landed in the guild hall, scanned the hall for a moment, and asked Mira Jen at the bar:
"Have you seen Natsu?"
It's too easy to grow a tree that contains magic in this magical world. Flying around the big forest at the back of the guild, you can find several suitable ones.
If you want to be even more meticulous, you can spend a bit more money to look for one in the magic store.
With the wandwood, the next step is the wand core.
The wand core is also not difficult. There are many magical creatures in this world, and the wizards of Dragon's Tail often take on quests to hunt down magical creatures that attack towns.
It's not hard to ask them to bring back some fur or horn for themselves.
At the very least, he is a magical cat himself, so plucking out a strand of his own fur can be considered as a wand core, but the effect will definitely not be good. It's just not as good.
He looked for Natsu because he heard that Natsu was raised by a dragon and could use Dragon Slayer magic, having a physique similar to that of a dragon. He wanted to try whether its fur could be used as a wand core.
According to the historical books of this world, dragons are the most powerful magical creatures in this world. If Natsu's hair had even one percent of the effect of a dragon, it would be stronger than most magical creatures.
So he wanted to try it out.
"He was looking for Natsu. He said that Natsu had taken on a task to find a book, teamed up with Lucy to go on a quest."
Mira Jen replied gently.
Labyrinth, who was standing at the task announcement board and looking for a mission, quickly ran over after hearing this.
"Is it the mission worth 200,000 gold coins to find a book? I was still hesitating whether to take it or not, but Natsu beat me to it."
The mission to find a book is relatively low risk, but it's very time-consuming. By the time the guild takes its cut and the team of three splits it evenly, each person won't end up with much.
And after subtracting the cost of travel, accommodation, and possible magic item consumption, it's even less.
So she had been hesitating whether to take it or not.
"Maybe it's a good thing you didn't take it, Labyrinth. The client has increased the reward to two million gold coins."
At this point, the President of the Guild, Markarov, jumped down from the second floor and landed on the bar.
"What? Find a book and get a reward of two million gold coins? That's almost as much as the pay for a major extermination mission!"
With the Guild's wizards hearing the President's words, they immediately started chatting.
Many magicians regretted not taking on the book-finding mission, missing out on the two million gold coins.
"I'm afraid it's not going to be that easy."
Since Natsu was no longer around, George returned to the library again, although he also thought that Labyrinth's decision not to take on that mission was right.
High rewards mean high risks, and that definitely wasn't just a simple book-finding mission.
Labyrinth's team's strength, to be honest, is really not that good.
Labyrinth's three-dimensional text magic has many effects, but the attack power of each is too low. Most importantly, she herself is not skilled in combat and has some psychological issues.
Her two teammates are even less skilled than she is.
To be honest, George, who doesn't have a wand yet, is really not their match when he takes it seriously.
