"Your mind will grow much more efficient after reaching tier six so what i did is not considered impressive by most standards." the goddess said with a shake of her head to disagree with the alchemists praise. "Ah I see , at least I now have something to look forward to when I reach that point." Flammel said showcasing his adaptability to a rapidly changing scenario. The man went on to ask Hephaestus a great many questions to sate his curiosity before finally leaving. She humored him as she could tell that Nick held a great deal of respect for him but otherwise didn't really care for the interaction.-

Time passed after that and soon two months came and went with a few things happening in between them. The first was that Harry and Ginny officially started dating which everyone who knew them thought it was about time. After the ball last year those two had been awkwardly dancing about the topic unwilling to be the first to make a move on the other. Another thing that happened was that a civil war had broken out between the muggles and wizards of America after the tension between both sides was finally ignited after the muggle hate group known as the ku Klux Klan killed a group of mediwitches that came to a town to render aid.-

This resulted in fierce retaliation from the wizards against those responsible and eventually this matter spilled out with the truth being ignored as the people in the country took a "them or us" mentality. The ugliness of humanity showed it's fangs in this matter as even without guns and bombs things got brutal with the muggles going as far as killing innocent children via the old methods that the witch hunters used long ago.-

The population of obscurials which had been almost entirely abolished thanks to the isolationist actions of the american ministry exploded. This only made things worse unfortunately as now there was muggle propaganda using the destruction that the unleashed obscuruses caused as evidence of wizards evil natures. Nick and Dumbledore both sent aid to the american wizards but it proved to only barely improve the situation. Another thing that had occurred during this time was that Dumbledore finally took the step into the Animagus ritual to become a phoenix. Then he immediately underwent nirvana as his new form was that of an old bird. -

Thankfully the old wizard had survived the process and been reborn from his own ashes and was now back to the prime of his life but hadn't lost any of his previous skill or power at all. Few noticed it but his mind was not as sharp as it was when he was younger but after his rebirth his mind was crystal clear and the difference was night and day. Ironically Dumbledore had also been stopped from entering tier five himself because of his rebirth adding a new domain to him, life.-

The man didn't complain about it though as he actually considered it a blessing instead as life and death magics were horribly difficult to grasp without an affinity for them which he now had. One might consider life magic to be the same as medical magic but that was quite far from the truth. While healing was a property of life magic it was only as small part of it much like living itself. Healing , ageing , growth , wisdom and experience were all concepts held within the domain of life making it a deep and broad topic. Nick himself likely would have gained the domain had he not cast off his mortality before undergoing the Animagus ritual.-

Still Dumbledore returning to his prime was a widely celebrated subject in the isles amongst the wizards there and even the muggles who needed to be filled in on why it was such a big deal got in on it. There was a slight problem in the form of the magical beast version of the ritual now being made public knowledge as Dumbledore needed to explain how he suddenly got decades younger. The man of course asked Nick for permission first as per the deal they made so long ago.-

Finally at the end of November Nick managed to cross over into tier five himself. It had taken him quite the effort but he had finally transformed the tiniest grain of his mana into his domains energy and stepped forward into tier five. The process became mostly automated after that as more and more of his mana got "corrupted" by the part that had been converted. The single grain became two and that two became four and so on at a steady rate as more and more of his mana began to get transformed.
