The power from the magical creatures gave Kain an uncanny affinity for magic, though it came at the cost of his house. By the time he managed to extinguish the fire on the front of the house with a fire extinguisher, the place was half-burned, drawing the attention of the police and fire brigade.
Since Kain lived in a wealthy villa area with large distances between the houses, and he acted quickly to put out the fire, the damage was contained. The police and firefighters offered assistance before leaving after confirming there was no further danger.
The residents in this area were influential, with many being high-quality taxpayers or business elites. Kain's villa was the largest in the area, and while the first floor was destroyed, the second floor remained intact.
The new residence had not yet been purchased, so Kain chose to stay for the time being.
After the fire, Kain was able to relax a little. He tidied up the house briefly before resuming his magic training. He also divided three Shadow Clones to help with various tasks: two focused on studying sealing techniques and biological knowledge, while the last clone handled business affairs.
Although Kain maintained communication with Laura through email and video calls, he still had to pay attention to the military security company.
This company wasn't meant to be a profit-making venture. It would likely take on some government contracts for security or military operations, but Kain's real goal was to build his own armed forces.
One of Kain's future plans was to create a zoo for magical creatures. This idea was still in its early stages, but he recognized the need for an armed force to protect and control his operations, especially once the Extremis virus was released.
He would also need a reliable and obedient army to deter potential threats.
The fire-breathing ability seemed to be tied to the fire dragon gene, which granted Kain some magical abilities and an affinity for magic.
He wasn't sure if the magic affinity came from the phoenix gene, but his ability to perform magic spells was developing rapidly.
In just five days, Kain had already mastered all the spells he brought back from the Harry Potter world—except for Transfiguration. This was an accomplishment that would be unimaginable in the wizarding world.
If placed in the world of Harry Potter, Kain would be considered an extraordinary figure. He had essentially merged phoenix and fire dragon cells, integrated Hashirama's cells, and injected the Extremis virus to perfectly fuse all these disparate genes.
That's essentially what Kain had become—an unprecedented fusion of power, magic, and biology.
Moreover, his magic power was also very abundant. According to Guy, even an adult wizard cannot continuously cast spells to fight for a whole day, but Kain could practice spells with high intensity for an entire day without feeling too tired.
The strength of the magic power determines the potency of the spells to some extent. This was evident from the spell 'Wingardium leviosa'.
When Kain practiced this spell in the suburbs, he created a large hole in the ground with a diameter of eight meters and a depth of two meters. Kain was taken aback by the sheer power of the spell.
Then there was the Shield Charm. Although Kain hadn't tested it yet, he felt confident that an RPG rocket launcher wouldn't pose a threat to him.
With his current physical strength and abilities, he could tear a steel plate seven or eight millimeters thick apart. Even if the Shield Charm were broken, it likely wouldn't cause him any harm.
"The remaining spells may need to be learned in the Harry Potter world, like Legilimency, Apparition, Animagus, and some dark magic. Regular magic can be taught by some down-and-out wizards, but black magic requires more specialized instruction. Should I ask some black wizard?"
Kain slowly thought about it. There were many spells that intrigued him, especially Apparition and Animagus. Without learning these two, it felt like learning magic wouldn't be complete.
"By the way, Snape... both spells and potions, have profound attainments, but his weaknesses are obvious."
It seemed that Kain needed to discuss things with Orochimaru. If Orochimaru had mastered Impure World Reincarnation, Kain hoped to trade it with him or supervise its learning himself.
He could teach Orochimaru all the magic spells and potion techniques in exchange for that ninjutsu to create some time when Snape and Lily could meet.
If that wasn't enough, Kain could even bring James Potter back from the dead and let Snape hang him upside down as a form of retribution.
Two days later, Betty Ross arrived at Kain's villa with a few people. Seeing that the house was in ruins, Betty asked helplessly, "Boss, do you really need me to buy you a new residence?"
"It was a bit of an accident, Betty. This must be General Ross. Hello, I'm Kain Pent."
Kain shook hands with one of the men, who had white hair and a lieutenant general's rank on his uniform. The others, apart from the four soldiers, appeared to be researchers from General Ross's super-soldier laboratory.
"I checked your information, Kain Pent." General Ross stared at Kain and spoke slowly, "A few years ago, you were not very conspicuous, but after the death of your parents, you gradually showed extraordinary talents in the financial field, and your academic performance was also exceptional. You've been developing rapidly and investing in the projects of the A.I.M team."
"Extremis virus, this serum is really amazing, but it's still a bit short of the super soldier I expected."
"Hehe!"
Before General Ross finished speaking, Kain chuckled twice, interrupting his next words. He said directly, "I didn't expect the generals of the military to negotiate in the business field."
While speaking, Kain took a metal cup from the counter at the side and, in front of General Ross and the others, easily squeezed it into a metal ball with one hand.
Handing it over, he continued, "Strength close to the limit of the human body, super resilience—if General Ross isn't interested, then I'll find someone else to cooperate with. The Extremis virus project is mine; if you don't cooperate, General Ross, you won't get it."
Kain's eyes glowed slightly as he spoke. Ninjutsu and magic allowed him to ignore the modern army, and he no longer needed to bow to politicians and generals.
