Chapter 21 - The Library

Days passed since the selection of the Champions with rumors about how Harry got made a Champion while some rumors were about Kaiser and his connection to Asgard since he at least looked like an young Æsir.

Kaiser at the moment was in the Room of Requirement which Deek helped him find after telling him what he needed to keep in mind to enter Terry's Requirement Room.

It was dusty and full of cobwebs with even ranks hanging from the ceiling and walls while the Floo Flame inside the room ignited itself making it now possible for him to get there without imagining it.

"So Terry used to life here?" asks Kaiser curious as he sees Potion Making Pots still brewing potions which Kaiser has heard about but has never seen before.

"No, Master Terry only used this room to brew potions, grew ingredients for said potions, and to take care of his Magical Beasts. But if it got too late he would sleep here instead if the common room," says Deek full if respect for his former master.

"It seems it will take some time to restore this room," says Kaiser seriously while holding the Nap-Sack in his hand.

He was there to inspect the Magical Beasts inside it by releasing them one by one but Deek stopped him before telling him about the room.

Deek also told Kaiser that Terry was a Magical Beasts fanatic as he has collected quite a lot of species over his life before his death at the hands of his great-great-grandparents or great-grandparents since his grandmother couldn't have killed him with her being only in her late fifties going by what she always tells him about her age.

So Kaiser didn't open the Nap-Sack for now following Deek's instructions to open them once he was back home or better said in the Highland where Deek and his family were stationed by his grandmother.

There laid a mansion of the Masters with more history and weapons anyone would think as it used to be the main castle of the Masters but was abandoned because of the progress of humanity. In the Highland was also the Duchy of the Masters surrounding the castle which was now only used for vocational retreats by the family who have forgotten the mysteries laying inside the Castle.

"Alright since I can't open it here," says Kaiser handing over the Nap-Sack to Deek before saying, "I will have to entrust you with it until I return from Hogwarts."

"Of course, Master Kaiser, Deek will watch over your Magical Beasts until you return," says Deek giving a slight bow before apparating away with the Nap-Sack.

Kaiser took a closer look before turning around and leaving the room since it wasn't his but Terry's room. He had his own room in the Room or Requirement which was perfectly for him with enough room to train and learn.

He left the room hoping that he could use this room differently like for example to make potions or for Alchemy purposes before finding himself again in the corridor.

Kaiser then turned around and waited for a moment before entering again finding himself in his Room of Requirements which was far more comfortable than Terry's at the moment.

He began to train his body and mind while looking at the clock hanging from the wall when he hears someone step in which could only be one of three people.

One is Morrigan who could enter any room in Hogwarts thanks to being the one who suggested to the Founders to created Hogwarts.

The next one would be Loki, self-explanatory since he is a God and the last and more likely to be walking toward Kaiser at the moment from feeling small quakes under his hands was the other God that is visiting Hogwarts at the moment, Thor.

"What can I do for you, Thor?" asks Kaiser stopping his training when Thor looks at him feeling a bit of pity.

"Boy, you need some more flesh on your body if you want to be as strong as your uncle Thor," says Thor flexing his body showing his muscles which were hidden by his stocky body.

Thor could see that Kaiser wasn't taking him seriously so he coughs twice before saying, "It seems that you are the only one who doesn't know of what the first challenge will be. So I came to tell you so you can prepare yourself."

Now Thor has all of Kaiser's attention as Thor sits down on a stool before taking his mead sack out to take a sip from it.

"And what will it be?" asks Kaiser curiously wanting to know so he could prepare himself for what was coming.

"Dragons, that is all that I am allowed to say for now. You and the other Champions don't have to best them only outsmart them or it would have been suicide for the others," says Thor seriously telling him enough with what he said as he throws the mead sack at Kaiser.

Kaiser catches it and Thor says, "Drink from it. It will give you strength for what is to come."

Kaiser was still underage but he already knew the savor of mead since Thor would always let him drink it because of its effects on the body.

Thor was nurturing Kaiser to get bigger and stronger than a normal person even after going through the Improved Trials of the Grasses which Logan himself overwatched to make sure Kaiser wouldn't die from it not like his grandchildren who have a natural healing factor.

Kaiser is the last known Berserker in Thor's eyes which will bring glory not only to him but the whole Pantheon in the future as he shapes the world under his actions.

Kaiser took a sip as always before saying, "Don't tell my grandmother or mother, or they might kill us both."

"It will be our little secret," says Thor as Kaiser threw the sack back only for Thor to look at it before mumbling something to it and throwing it back to Kaiser while saying, "Keep it. I enchanted it with a bottomless supply of my favorite mead. It will serve you well. Just see it as a early birthday gift from my side."

Kaiser looked at it before placing it on his belt while saying, "We still shouldn't tell them about this and if they ask it is just water in this sack."

"Sometimes I wish we were in the old times where anyone could drink without repercussion of being too young," says Thor sighing in disappointment to where society is going.

"Anyway, I told you what I wanted to tell you and now I will leave and join Loki or he might think that I went to see Sif leaving him behind all on his own," says Thor leaving Kaiser's Room of Requirement and Kaiser to his daily training.

"We will meet at dinner then," says Kaiser as he continues his training by making push-ups with five fingers while making a handstand training his strength and balance in this exercise.

"We might," says Thor as he leaves Kaiser to his training while getting Kaiser's first opponent since Loki wouldn't be pleased with Kaiser dealing with a normal dragon.

Kaiser nonchalant to what Thor was up to continued his physical training just like Logan taught him while saying to himself, "A healthy body leads to a healthy mind, a healthy mind leads to inner peace, inner peace leads to balance in everything."

Kaiser finished his regiment before leaving the Room of Requirement to go to the Library using the Floo Flame. He enters the Library finding it almost empty making him curious if most his classmates were allergic to books as he walks over to the Librarian since he needed a tome related to Time and Space Magic.

The Librarian, Madam Irma Prince, looked at him confused as most students avoided her at all cost except for one person and even she didn't dare to look her in the eyes while asking for a book.

She could see the determination in Kaiser's eyes as she opens one of the drawers of her desk and pulls a list out and tells Kaiser that the book he could look at was on the second floor the third aisle to his right in the fourth shelves the fifteenth book going from the left.

Kaiser left knowing that the book most likely didn't have much information since the book that most likely could help was in the Forbidden Section and he wouldn't be able to enter it yet.

He arrived at the said bookshelf and takes the book out of it before walking over to a table to sit down and read the book when he notices Hermione sitting down across of him with the tome he lend her.

"Is something wrong, Mione?" asks Kaiser not removing his eyes from the book he is reading.

"I am getting stalked lately. Wherever I go one of Durmstrang's students is following almost like keeping a watchful eye on me," says Hermione while holding her forehead because of the headaches they are creating for her.

"Should I shoo them away?" asks Kaiser removing his eyes from the book now since it was a serious matter.

"What are you going to do?" asks Hermione a bit nervous since Kaiser was known for taking care of her bullies while in elementary school until they separated with Hermione going to Hogwarts and Kaiser going to Kaer Morhen.

"You know me, I will speak with my fists since words won't get through them," says Kaiser knowing that Hermione must have told them off already or she wouldn't feel such a headache with them following her.

"There they come," says Kaiser putting the book down while popping his knuckles which resonated through the whole library.

"Kai," says Hermione trying to stop him when suddenly Kaiser stops because someone they both know kneeled before Hermione holding a bouquet of flowers.

"What is going on here?" asks Kaiser confused seeing Viktor Krum doing this gesture toward his best friend.

"I have fallen in love with you the moment my eyes landed on you," says Viktor Krum in a heavy Bulgarian Accent making Hermione blush extremely while Kaiser was confused from seeing that stepping between both of them feeling jealous that someone was garnishing his first crush.
