Chapter 190: Just a grain of sand, not even half as good as me (page 12)
"Wait!"
A wizard with a hideous scar on his face looked evil and walked towards Cyrus with several people.
His goal was very clear, and it was obvious that he was coming for Cyrus.
Graves frowned on his somewhat serious face, turned around to look at the visitor, and turned his body at a slight angle towards Cyrus, protecting Cyrus behind him.
"What do you want to do, O'Brien?" Graves's voice was filled with anger, as if he didn't expect that the other party would actually appear here and even attack Cyrus.
"Of course I want to see if the so-called successor is worthy of his name." O'Brien said with a sullen face. Behind him were all the wizards who were dissatisfied with Cyrus' appointment to Ilvermorny.
In fact, these people are just the tip of the iceberg. Looking at the entire Magic Congress, there are many people who have opinions on this matter. It's just that due to the "deaths" of Nurmengard and Grindelwald, and Bella's dealings with them, the focus of the Magic Congress has not been on Cyrus during this period, and O'Brien obviously knows that Cyrus Si will come to Magic Congress, so he has been waiting here in advance.
"what do you mean?"
Graves was not too happy, and of course he understood what O'Brien meant.
Cyrus looks young. Although he is said to be the heir of Slytherin, he is still a young boy who appears from nowhere and becomes the headmaster of Ilvermorny out of nowhere. How can one accept this? ?
More importantly, Cyrus was a man from England.
If it were a wizard from any magic regime in North America who held the position of principal, those in the Congress would not be so excited. After all, Ilvermorny is originally a North American school. The young wizards of the three magic regimes grew up together and can be said to be close to each other.
But what about Cyrus?
A British wizard, even if he is orthodox by blood, is still an outsider.
Not to mention O'Brien, even Graves himself was actually suspicious of Sellers. The United States is different from the United Kingdom. Wizards here don't care so much about blood, because if you really want to trace it back, almost all wizards in North America come from Europe.
From this point of view, the identity of Cyrus Slytherin's descendant is actually not important, and can even be said to be a Debuff.
"The person who made this decision was Professor Boot." Graves said forcefully. He took a step forward and stood in front of O'Brien like a wall. The two people's eyes collided. Sparks seemed to pop out of his eyes!
"You should know that now is not the time to talk about this!" Graves gritted his teeth.
For him, the exchange of principals in Ilvermorny was far less important than Grindelwald's. Half a century ago, Grindelwald disguised himself as his ancestor and lurked in the Magic Congress. This incident brought shame to his family. From that time on, the shame has been nailed to this surname!
Now, Grindelwald is suspected of escaping Nurmengard by faking his own death, and he is proving his family's name!
For this reason, Graves did not hesitate to use Bute to try to overpower O'Brien as the old principal.
Bute has a great voice in North America. After all, he is an old principal and has been watching the little wizards in the school grow up for so many years. Now, almost three-quarters of the administrative staff of the Magical Congress are his students, and the remaining quarter are his peers.
Graves and O'Brien were also students of Bute.
O'Brien was indeed moved for a moment, but he put this emotion aside so quickly that his expression barely changed at all.
"Even if the professor agrees, we won't agree!" O'Brien said stiffly, "Not all of the four founders of Ilvermorny are from England, let alone Ester Thayer. Because of his relationship with Slytherin, he fled to North America.
"What truly makes Ilvermorny great has never been the blood of Slytherin, but every wizard who has come out of Ilvermorny in the past three hundred years! It is they who are using their lives to fight against the Purifiers and Grindelwald. Confrontation! Not Slytherin!"
O'Brien's voice became louder and louder. After each sentence, he took a step towards Graves until he was almost touching Graves. His expression was stiff, the muscles on his face were tense, and the hideous scar looked like a twisting centipede!
Graves seemed to have forgotten how to speak, and his brown eyes looked at O'Brien in shock. He did not expect O'Brien to be so tough. The only thing he could remember at this moment was pulling out his wand to avoid a conflict between Cyrus and O'Brien.
But O'Brien was a little faster than him, and his big rough hands grabbed Graves's hand before he could pull out the wand, and the two were in a stalemate. The air seemed to be frozen for a few seconds.
Catherine's eyes widened, her bright mouth opened, her hands clenched and then opened again, as if she wanted to do something to prevent Graves and O'Brien from really fighting, but she didn't Move forward with courage.
As for Cyrus, his face was calm, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his red-gold eyes saw everything, as if he was just an outsider.
"Humph!"
After a moment, O'Brien exhaled heavily, then pushed Graves away forcefully and came to Cyrus.
Cyrus raised his chin with a relaxed, even contemptuous expression. He had a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for O'Brien's next move.
O'Brien is very tall.
Cyrus is over 1.8 meters tall, about the same height as Dumbledore, but O'Brien is almost half a head taller than Cyrus. His body bulged under his windbreaker, as strong as a gorilla!
This comparison made Catherine, who was standing aside a bit at a loss, worried that the well-proportioned Cyrus might be hit in the head by O'Brien's fist!
Of course, if O'Brien was really stupid enough to use fists against Sellers, O'Brien's hand would definitely be broken first.
But O'Brien didn't do that.
He said half-threateningly: "The snakewood wand does belong to Slytherin, you can take it away. But Ilvermorny has nothing to do with Slytherin! I hope you will step down from the position of principal immediately and return it to Mr. Butt, then leave the United States. Otherwise, I will arrest you according to the law!"
He showed kindness and kindness, and even promised to let Cyrus take away the snakewood wand. Those who didn't know it thought he was a good person!
But in fact, the snakewood wand did not belong to him, nor did it belong to Ilvermorny. It was a wand stolen by Isolt, and it was only natural that it should be returned to Cyrus. From Brian's mouth, it turned into a generous donation from him.
It’s simply hilarious!
Cyrus did smile. He lowered his head as if he heard a funny joke and shrugged his shoulders.
This attitude obviously annoyed O'Brien and the several wizards who came with him. Their faces were very angry and they wanted to poke their wands into Cyrus's eyes immediately!
