Rubik’s Cube of Heavens

Chapter 18 - Magic WandOllivander took the tape measure and returned it to Coven. Looking at Coven’s still cautious appearance, he could not help but smile gently, “Relax your child.”
“Yes, yes sir, how can I cooperate with you?” Coven responded, but everyone could see that his body was tense.
“Relax, just open your arms.” As Ollivander commanded, he continued to speak softly, “Although this is a bit cruel, child, you should know your current situation. There is no past, no friends and relatives…”
Ollivander opened the tape measure and measured the length of Coven’s arm while continuing, “Although what happened can’t be changed, now that you have me, you can treat me as your family. Turn around.”
Coven obediently turned around. From an angle that Ollivander could not see, he rolled his eyes slightly.
Ollivander continued, “Perhaps it was a huge change that made you feel that the surroundings are dangerous. But what I want to say is that will protect you from now on. I hope you can get out of that terrible state as soon as possible. You don’t have to be careful in front of me. Perhaps you can’t treat me as your family at the moment, but we can start from being friends. Raise your arms horizontally.”
Coven turned his body into a cross.
“It will be the same in the future.” Ollivander continued to nag, “When you enter the school, I hope you can make more friends. If you were still on guard like you are now, I’m afraid other students would ostracize you, and that kind of life would be too terrible. Alright, put down your hands.”
Hearing the footsteps fade away, Coven turned around and looked at Ollivander’s back, raising his left eyebrow. Ollivander put the tape measure back on the table, picked up a piece of paper, and wrote a few numbers on it with a quill.
“If I didn’t observe wrongly…” Ollivander said, “You’re used to using your right hand, aren’t you?”
“Yes, sir.” Coven nodded in confirmation.
“Very good.” Ollivander lowered his head after he finished speaking.
He stared at the few lines of numbers that he had just written and pondered for a moment. Then, Ollivander walked towards the bookshelves at the corner of the corridor.
As he climbed up the ladder, Ollivander said, “Think carefully about what I said. You don’t have to change yourself immediately just to follow my words. I hope that you can slowly adapt to your new life and start a new life. Oh, here.”
As he spoke, Ollivander took out a box from the dense ‘Magic Staff Box’ and climbed down from the bookshelf ladder. He went to the cashier and opened the box. Ollivander took out a dark brown wand that was about thirty centimeters long.
He handed the wand over to Coven. Ollivander said, “Eleven and a quarter of an inch. Willow Wood, Unicorn Tail Feather.”
Coven was impatient, but he carefully took the wand.
The moment Ollivander’s finger left the wand, Coven suddenly felt as if the wand in his hand had become his own arm. He felt as if his arm was guiding him, and at the same time, he felt that his surroundings had become very clear.
Seeing the unconcealable surprise in Coven’s eyes, Ollivander smiled proudly and said, “Don’t just hold it like this. Hurry up and try it.”
“This…” Coven was confused for a moment, and then, he reacted. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and pointed at the book on the bench. Then, he whispered, “Wingardium Leviosa!”
Coven felt as if an invisible bridge had appeared between his body and mind the moment he finished chanting the spell and the book he was pointing at. This bridge felt different from the previous feeling of connecting everything. It was as if the bridge had been connected by a wand. The feeling of ‘bridge’ was even clearer.
With this, Coven’s heart moved.
The next moment, the book “Magic History” on the bench suddenly floated up slowly and moved slowly in the air according to Coven’s will.
“Amazing…” Coven could not help but sigh again.
“Hahahaha, that’s it.” Ollivander laughed happily. “You can stop imagining and stop your magic.”
Coven did as he was told and stopped controlling the book. The book “History of Magic” suddenly fell back to the bench in mid-air.
“How do you feel?” Ollivander asked with a smile, “Do you feel an extra arm? Do you feel uncomfortable?”
“Yes!” Coven showed a look of excitement and nodded heavily.
“Very good. It seems that you chose the wand, and the wand also chose you.” Ollivander was very satisfied and continued, “As a companion who will accompany you for a lifetime, you need to know him in detail. You have to listen to what I say next, and you’d better keep it in mind.”
“Yes, sir.”
“The willow branch has the effect of healing. It is a very unusual kind of magic wand wood. I think the ideal owner of the willow branch usually lacks a sense of security. This is very suitable for your character.”
Ollivander couldn’t help but show a satisfied expression. He then said, “However, my willow branch wand chooses the most potential owner, just like you… No, I think you have more potential than them!”
Seeing the look of disbelief and emotion on Coven’s face, Ollivander continued to speak softly, “Next, let’s talk about the core of the staff.”
“The unicorn tail hair can usually cast the most stable magic, and it is the most unlikely that there will be any fluctuations or blockage. They are the most loyal existences in the wand, and because of this, they can help the master control those uncontrollable magic and magic. Similarly, they are also what you need the most right now.”
“Combined with the magic staff wood that is most suitable for you and the core of the magic staff that is most suitable for you, I really can’t think of any other magic staff that is more suitable for you.”
“Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ollivander,” Coven said gratefully.
“Very good. Now, it belongs to you.” Ollivander smiled and nodded. “I will teach you how to maintain your wand later.”
“Yes!” Coven nodded heavily, but then he glanced at the other wands.
This little action was obviously noticed by Ollivander, which made him slightly stunned, and then he understood. Shaking his head in amusement, Ollivander took the initiative to say, “Of course, many little wizards have a mentality, and they feel that there is a wand more suitable for them.”
As he spoke, Ollivander walked to the magic wand cabinet. After some selection, he took out another box.
He walked back and opened the box. He handed a gray wand to Coven and said, “Ten to three-fourths, pine trees, the nerves of the heart of the fire dragon. Try it.”
Under Ollivander’s teasing gaze, Coven took the new wand, but he was stunned.
Without a word, Coven cast a spell on “History of Magic” again.
As “History of Magic” slowly floated up again, the expression on Ollivander’s face froze…
