Chapter 4 Acting and Leaving
【Simulation starts】
[Day 0, due to the blessing of talent (magic affinity), the turbulent flow of magic around you is suppressed, and the strange things that often occur are suppressed.
Congratulations on becoming a "normal person".
Tonight's circus show was a great success because of your innovation.
Thousands of spectators poured into the circus and cheered on you and Nigel Sr.'s wonderful performance.

You show old Nigel this fine machine.
Old Nigel felt that your ability is so outstanding, the design is so exquisite and ingenious, you are worthy of being a natural magician, and agreed to cooperate with your performance at the end of the month.
The circus has become famous because of your new magic trick, and more and more audiences are attracted by it.
With the momentum you and Nigel Sr. have created, all the audience is looking forward to the performance at the end of the month.

[In the third week, you started to make the mechanical props for the 'final performance' according to the drawings, and you did a rehearsal in the circus before the actual performance.
All the members of the circus were shocked by you, and there was endless applause on the field.
In the applause, you seem to really feel the part of your body that belongs to Little Chiz jumping for joy, and then you feel a burst of relief, you know that Little Chizzy has received everything you have done for him.
Professor Minerva came in person. After she had a cordial and friendly exchange with you, she also had a "cordial and friendly exchange" with the head of the circus.
Although the head of the circus is very reluctant to give up on you, after the professor uses special means and pays a few gold coins, the head of the circus decides to hand you over to the professor to take you away.
You asked Professor McGonagall to take you away after you finished the last performance. Professor McGonagall happily agreed and watched your performance from the audience.
You jump down to the cheers of the audience.
No one noticed that you disappeared with Professor McGonagall in the audience. 】
[In the first month, Professor McGonagall handed you over to Hagrid.
Became friends with Harry Potter, who was traveling with him, and became acquainted.
Apply for student loans.
Buy school supplies.
Hagrid handed you over to the host family that Professor McGonagall found for you, and the family took you to remove the dark spots on your face.

[No. 30 years, go to work at the Ministry of Magic and dawdle]
[No. 40, died in a riot in the wizarding world. 】
[This simulation is over and the settlement is in progress. . . 】
【Settlement completed, please choose one of the following two rewards】
[1. (Magic Lv5): Great magician, you are proficient in most of the known magic, and can often launch brand new magic according to your own level.When magic is amazing enough, who will tell whether it is magic or magic?
2. (Mechanical Design Lv4): A must-have skill for a great magician, who wouldn't know how to design a prop by themselves? 】
[Additional reward: (Mechanical Heart): The easiest way to get rid of the illusion is to abandon the human brain.After active activation, you have a way of thinking like a mechanical program and gain mechanical endurance.
ps: You said there is a possibility that when Voldemort used Legilimency to study your brain, what he saw was a bunch of 0s and 1s. 】
"Choose 1."
Feeling the familiar comfort, Keiz silently complained in his heart.
"??? Died in a riot? Isn't the cause of death too hasty? Is it because Harry Potter and the others haven't managed the wizarding world well? Or is it because you don't want to make up the number of words?"
Looking at the death prompt in the simulator, Chiz felt very strange, why is it okay to lie flat in the Ministry of Magic, and the magic world suddenly rioted?
But this is still good news, after all, this is the longest time I have lived in the simulator.
In other words, as long as I stay in the circus until Professor McGonagall picks me up, everything will be fine. Professor McGonagall even found a host family for me.
As for Voldemort or something, it's none of his business, and even the riots decades later are none of his business.As long as the time comes, hide before something happens, and then go back and lie down when the limelight passes.
When I go to see Hagrid in two days, I will get on good terms with Harry by the way, and get to know each other well.
Let's talk about the future, it's none of your business.
If you are interested, if you see that Voldemort is not pleasing to the eye, you can go to him.
After finishing his calculations in his mind, Qiz began to take stock of his skills and talents.
The talent (mechanical heart) obtained this time is not bad, at least it is equivalent to a different kind of Occlumency.
After so many simulations of Chez, I also discovered that the talent acquisition is very random, and the high probability is related to what Chez did in the simulation.
The magic skill has also been upgraded by one level, and the evaluation given by the simulator is a master level, which is not bad.
Qizi also summed up some rules for the acquisition and improvement of skills. As long as it is a skill and knowledge that he has not touched in the first three days in the simulation, it is impossible to obtain corresponding rewards even if he studies in the simulation for a lifetime.In the simulation, the more skills you have used in the first three days, the more proficient you will be, and the more you will gain.
"Simulator, generate property panel!"

"Not bad! Your physique and strength have grown!"
Qizi is more and more yearning for his future college life.
Three days later, Keiz really received a reply, and it was still delivered by the silver-gray owl before.
Keez had just finished the night's performance and found him standing on a stake next to the tent, half illuminated by the faint light of the torch.
He took the letter and leaned closer to the torch to read it.
Dear Mr. Chizzy Burton,
We are very pleased to receive your reply, and we sincerely welcome you to join us. We believe that you will spend an unforgettable and happy seven years at Hogwarts.
We have made arrangements for the situation you mentioned after discussion. Of course, we will discuss the specific situation when we meet. I will arrive at your circus on the evening of July 31. At that time, I will personally help you solve the problems you raised.
Please be prepared during this time, remember to relax and not get too nervous.
Sincerely, Deputy Principal Minerva McGonagall
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
As had happened in many simulations, Hogwarts wrote back and granted his request.
On July 31, Professor McGonagall came to the circus as scheduled.
In the evening, a cat walked gracefully to the door of the tent where Keez lived.
Chiz is doing the final maintenance on the equipment. The cat that appeared at unknown time caught Chiz's attention. After a twist, the cat transformed into a lady in a black cloak.
Keiz carefully looked at the lady in a black cloak with amazed eyes. This is an elegant and solemn lady.
"Hello, lady, are you sent by Hogwarts?" Chiz asked in an uncertain tone.
"Good evening, Mr. Chizzy Bolton, I'm Minerva McGonagall, from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, you can call me Professor McGonagall."
Professor McGonagall responded politely.
"I believe you have many questions that need to be answered now, please feel free to ask questions!"
"Yes, Professor McGonagall, I have a lot of questions I want to ask you to answer."
"What is magic? Is it the same as magic?"
"Why am I eligible to go to a magic school?"
"Is magic really omnipotent?"
"Can magic remove the dark spots on my face?"
"Different"
"Trust St. Mungo's Hospital can get rid of this little blemish on your face."
Professor McGonagall answered almost every question he had.
"Wait, kid, you'll know these questions after you enroll in the future. The most important thing now is to meet with your regiment leader and make a final decision about your enrolment." Professor McGonagall interrupted his endless questions.
"Yes, of course, Professor McGonagall, I mean, before that, I have a small request."
Qiz made a sincere request: "I want to finish my last performance tonight before leaving with you, is that okay?"
"Of course," Professor McGonagall kindly agreed to the request.
Keiz took out a crumpled ticket from his pocket, unfolded it and handed it to Professor McGonagall.
"Here is the ticket for the circus tonight. I invite you to watch my first official performance."
Professor McGonagall was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect to receive such an invitation, but he also reached out to accept it and said thank you.
After nearly a month of hype and exaggeration, the audience's anticipation for tonight's performance has reached an extremely frenzied level.
After several warm-up acrobatic performances, it was finally the turn of the magic show prepared by Chiz.
The announcer's eloquent introduction attracted most of the audience's attention. At this moment, fireworks suddenly ignited on the empty stage, and after a burst of explosions, smoke filled the air.
The smoke dissipated quickly, revealing Keiz and old Nigel wearing clown masks, and they suddenly appeared in the center of the stage together.
The audience burst into applause.
Keez and Nigel Sr. bowed separately to the spectators in the stands.
Then they jointly presented some small magic tricks to warm up the scene and set off the atmosphere for the audience.
The atmosphere of the audience in the stands became more and more enthusiastic. Seeing that the time and the atmosphere were about the same, Chez indicated with his eyes that Old Nigel could start.
"Dear audience, the most thrilling and exciting escape game you have been waiting for is about to begin. Let us give the warmest applause to today's protagonist, the clown magician Kiz."
Old Nigel introduced loudly while taking off his top hat.
Following the warm applause, cheers, and whistles again, Old Nigel pulled out a half-foot-long wooden stick from his top hat.
With a flick of the stick, it turned into a flagpole as tall as two people.
While the flagpole was waving, a large black flag seemed to grow out of the bare flagpole out of thin air, spreading out quickly.
Old Nigel waved the banner left and right, and then came under the high platform used by the acrobats.
The flag swung horizontally, waved up and down, and pulled the flag back, only to see a large box as tall as a person appearing out of nowhere where the black flag swept.
"This is the tool we will use today - the Hundred Blades Box."
As he spoke, he erected the flagpole on the ground one by one, the square box opened automatically, and the wooden boards surrounding the four sides fell to the ground, and he saw that it was full of cold and bright knives, fixed in the box in a haphazard manner.
Chez, who was wearing a mask, took off his hat and took an egg from it to show the audience, feeling dissatisfied.
Then he took an apple out of the hat and threw it away.
This time, another pumpkin was poured out of the hat. After showing it for a while, he threw it on the steel knife in the box, and saw that the pumpkin was easily cut into many pieces by the steel knife from top to bottom.
The flagpole in the hands of old Nigel fell to the ground again, and the four wooden boards of the box rose up automatically, so that the audience could no longer see the scene inside.
Then Keiz flicked his cloak, took out a burlap bag from under the cloak, filled it with down, and poured it into the box.
The cloak flicked again, and a smaller bag appeared, filled with sharp blades, which were also scattered into the box after being shown to the audience.
Shaking the cloak again, another sack full of down appeared, poured it into the box, took out a bag of blades, and sprinkled it into the box in the same way.
The same procedure was repeated about three or four times, and the entire case was filled with down and blades, and Keez invited an audience to come up and check the blades for authenticity.
The man picked a blade at random, slid it randomly on the paper that Keiz handed over, and shredded the paper with ease.
Old Nigel took out a chain, a pair of handcuffs, and a pair of fetters from his top hat, and put them on for Keez.
The audience in the audience whispered about this. Some audiences had no idea what they were going to do, and some audiences guessed what they were going to do, but they also looked in disbelief.
I saw that thin figure, with chains tied all over his body, struggling to climb up the high platform used for acrobatic performances.
He stood still on the stage and bowed again to the audience in all directions.
Then, with his head held high, he stood up straight on the high platform, unwrapped the mask on his face with his handcuffed hands awkwardly, and threw it onto the stage and broke it into pieces.
The audience saw his face clearly, but most of them already knew what he was going to do, so no one cared about his appearance.
He was chained all over his body, handcuffed and fettered, and jumped off the platform.
Many spectators broke out in a cold sweat at his unexpected leap.
Everyone in the audience gasped and let out a neat hiss.
Some women even covered their eyes with their hands, not daring to watch.
There was only a "bang" on the stage, and the down in the box flew all over the sky.
"what!"
The audience screamed with the sound of the impact, and some timid women even fainted.
Even the bottom of the box was seeping red liquid.
This brought a lot of shock to the audience on the field, they all thought that he was going to die, and his death was scattered.
Several audience members even rushed to the stage angrily, just as they were about to get close to the box.
A board of the box fell by itself again, and the down feathers wrapped the blades and scattered all over the floor, and they were surprised to find that Keiz was not in it.
Right now, facing the tent door of the stage, stood the little figure that made the audience sweat. At this moment, he was standing in that position, and the circus staff used the mirror to shine the light from the torch on him according to the previous agreement.
The audience followed the light to find him, and at this moment - all eyes were on him.
Keiz took off his top hat and bowed, turned around and opened the curtains hanging on both sides of the tent door, and walked out.
At this time, no one noticed that an elegant lady in a cloak in the auditorium also disappeared at the same time.
On the day he became famous, the clown magician disappeared from people's sight forever.
There is only one legend of the horror circus left. Some people say that he died in the box after jumping from the high platform that day, and some people say that he left the circus with magic and never went back.
Of course, Qiz, who has big thick legs, doesn't care about these details anymore, and he doesn't want to go back to the circus again.He already has a brighter future ahead of him.
Originally, I wanted Hagrid to drop by to pick him up, but after thinking about it, once Hagrid's body appeared in the circus, he might not be run out like a blind man as soon as he appeared.
Then it is not to solve the problem but to create trouble, and if an elegant and kind lady silently appreciates Keiz's last performance in the audience, it would not be more obvious the difference between magic and magic if he flicked his wand and took him away without leaving a trace.

The cloak flicked again, and a smaller bag appeared, filled with sharp blades, which were also scattered into the box after being shown to the audience.
Shaking the cloak again, another sack full of down appeared, poured it into the box, took out a bag of blades, and sprinkled it into the box in the same way.
The same procedure was repeated about three or four times, and the entire case was filled with down and blades, and Keez invited an audience to come up and check the blades for authenticity.
The man picked a blade at random, slid it randomly on the paper that Keiz handed over, and shredded the paper with ease.
Old Nigel took out a chain, a pair of handcuffs, and a pair of fetters from his top hat, and put them on for Keez.
The audience in the audience whispered about this. Some audiences had no idea what they were going to do, and some audiences guessed what they were going to do, but they also looked in disbelief.
I saw that thin figure, with chains tied all over his body, struggling to climb up the high platform used for acrobatic performances.
He stood still on the stage and bowed again to the audience in all directions.
Then, with his head held high, he stood up straight on the high platform, unwrapped the mask on his face with his handcuffed hands awkwardly, and threw it onto the stage and broke it into pieces.
The audience saw his face clearly, but most of them already knew what he was going to do, so no one cared about his appearance.
He was chained all over his body, handcuffed and fettered, and jumped off the platform.
Many spectators broke out in a cold sweat at his unexpected leap.
Everyone in the audience gasped and let out a neat hiss.
Some women even covered their eyes with their hands, not daring to watch.
There was only a "bang" on the stage, and the down in the box flew all over the sky.
"what!"
The audience screamed with the sound of the impact, and some timid women even fainted.
Even the bottom of the box was seeping red liquid.
This brought a lot of shock to the audience on the field, they all thought that he was going to die, and his death was scattered.
Several audience members even rushed to the stage angrily, just as they were about to get close to the box.
A board of the box fell by itself again, and the down feathers wrapped the blades and scattered all over the floor, and they were surprised to find that Keiz was not in it.
Right now, facing the tent door of the stage, stood the little figure that made the audience sweat. At this moment, he was standing in that position, and the circus staff used the mirror to shine the light from the torch on him according to the previous agreement.
The audience followed the light to find him, and at this moment - all eyes were on him.
Keiz took off his top hat and bowed, turned around and opened the curtains hanging on both sides of the tent door, and walked out.
At this time, no one noticed that an elegant lady in a cloak in the auditorium also disappeared at the same time.
On the day he became famous, the clown magician disappeared from people's sight forever.
There is only one legend of the horror circus left. Some people say that he died in the box after jumping from the high platform that day, and some people say that he left the circus with magic and never went back.
Of course, Qiz, who has big thick legs, doesn't care about these details anymore, and he doesn't want to go back to the circus again.He already has a brighter future ahead of him.
Originally, I wanted Hagrid to drop by to pick him up, but after thinking about it, once Hagrid's body appeared in the circus, he might not be run out like a blind man as soon as he appeared.
Then it is not to solve the problem but to create trouble, and if an elegant and kind lady silently appreciates Keiz's last performance in the audience, it would not be more obvious the difference between magic and magic if he flicked his wand and took him away without leaving a trace.
