Chapter 295: Teaching and Learning (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Collections, Asking for Tickets)
"Rita Skeeter is a person who does nothing to do, how can she say that?" the next morning, when Ryan went to the dining room for breakfast, he saw Ron holding the Daily Prophet to Harry beside him.
"What is written in the newspaper that makes you feel so angry? Ryan asked as he sat down and took a slice of bread and spread jam on it.
"The old witch actually accused Crouch of wasting taxpayers' money by paying for his medical expenses at the Ministry of Magic. Ron was a little excited. "Although everyone in our family didn't like Crouch and thought he was too old-fashioned. But it is undeniable that the doctor said that he was admitted to the hospital this time because of excessive psychological pressure and fatigue. Considering that he was busy organizing the Triwizard Tournament all his holidays, this should be considered a work injury. Will the Ministry of Magic staff have to pay for their own treatment when they are injured in the future?"
"Psychological pressure is too much, maybe it's because my son ran away. Ryan thought so, and naturally he wouldn't say it without conclusive evidence. Of course, he also understood why Ron was so angry. After all, his father and brother both worked in the Ministry of Magic, and if the Ministry of Magic really cut the benefits for work-related injuries because of this, the most unfortunate ones would be poorer families like the Ron family.
So he comforted Ron. "Everybody knows that Rita Skeeter is a big talker, and so many of the Ministry of Magic staff need this work-related injury benefit, especially the Aurors, strikers, and members of the Incident Reversal Team who are on the front lines. So I don't think the Ministry of Magic would believe that woman's nonsense. ”
Since it was Saturday, Ryan and Hermione practiced magic in the Room of Requirement as usual in the morning. It has to be said that Hermione's combat effectiveness is constantly rising in this kind of practice, especially as a girl who is good at using her brain. Hermione would summarize the reasons for each defeat and avoid repeating it next time, which allowed Ryan to see her progress in each sparring session.
During a break at the end of a sparring session, Hermione wiped her sweat and took a sip of water and asked, "By the way, Ryan, I feel like you've been out recently, do you have any new magic?" After all, I can't learn life magic and nature magic because of my talent. So I'd like to see if you have any new magic here. ”
"Wait, how can you tell I've been out recently?" Ryan asked, a little surprised, after all, he had never told anyone about this kind of thing.
"Just look closely. Hermione said as she brushed the sweaty hair from her forehead behind her ears. "I found that your whole person has changed a lot today, and you feel more temperamental than yesterday. This should not be something that can be done in a short period of time. So I guess it's which world you're going to again, right? Just like the last time we went to Beauty and the Beast. ”
In fact, Ryan has already paid attention to the changes in his temperament, so as soon as he comes back, he tries to restrain his mind and let himself change back to his original appearance. It worked so well that neither Harry nor Ron saw the changes. It's just that he still hasn't hidden Hermione, who has been noticing him.
"Well, I've been in a world of dragons and magic for more than half a year. "Anyway, since the last incident, Hermione also knows that Ryan sometimes wanders around other worlds. So he simply admitted it.
"Although the level of magic use in that world is not as good as ours, there are some very distinctive magics. But to learn this, you have to learn the Higher Valyrian and Ashatic languages. With that, Ryan used his wand to pull out a silver-blue ball of light from his temple.
"This is?" "This is a new usage that I have recently developed after researching alchemy, which allows me to copy a part of my memories to others, but of course this memory is limited to directions that don't involve too much supernatural power. The only requirement is that the recipient must have complete trust in the memory giver. ”
"It's okay, give it to me. After saying that, Hermione took the ball of light with her wand and placed it at her temple without hesitation, following Ryan's instructions, and then the entire ball of light was absorbed.
An hour later, Hermione watched happily as a shadowy mouse dragged a wooden target from the bookshelf under her command. She then pointed a finger at the wooden target that had been placed next to her and recited a high Valyrian incantation, a mist of blood coming out of her finger, leaving a notch as shallow as a blade on the wooden board that was the target.
"These spells are pretty useful, and they make up for my lack of magic in combat, especially since they don't need a wand. But you still need practice to become proficient. Especially the curse spell, I don't think this spell should be at this level after I recited the spell for more than ten minutes. With that, Hermione pointed to the pot of flowers next to her, only one leaf had a coin-sized coin on it, and it looked like a burnt spot.
"This kind of thing can't be achieved overnight, and if you are too impatient, you will only hurt yourself. Ryan stopped Hermione, who seemed a little overexcited, from continuing to practice, as she was now a bit of a magic overdrawn. At this time, if you continue to practice for a while, you should help Hermione out by yourself. In order to avoid this embarrassing scene, Ryan can only stop Hermione, who has lost her temper because she has learned new knowledge.
"That's right. Hermione waved her hand away from the black mist. "It's not a good thing to be too impatient. ”
As the two of them sat down on their cushions to rest, Ryan seemed to remember something and asked, "What do you think of these magic today?"
"Very good!" Hermione said with wide eyes, "simple and effective, it can be seen that any civilization has its merits, and I am more eager to learn about this world now." ”
"I mean, do you ever think the magic you learned today is like black magic, it's blood, it's shadows, it's curse. Ryan finally asked his own question.
"Of course not. Speaking of this, Hermione sat up straight, "I said a long time ago that the biggest feature of dark magic is that it can only be released by using all kinds of negative emotions, so learning dark magic is a very bad thing. Until now, I have stuck to this view and refused to learn any black magic. ”
"But your magic doesn't need to be driven by negative emotions, so it's not black magic. As for the idea that magic effects look evil, it's much more painful for the victim to be burned alive by the flames than to be killed by Avada. So the spell effect doesn't mean anything. ”
At this, Hermione shrugged. "Of course, I know that most people outside don't approve of our division, so I'll try not to use these magic in front of everyone outside. You don't have to worry about that. ”
Well, it looks like I'm overly worried, Ryan thought. Sure enough, Hermione had a similar understanding of dark magic to herself, insisting that only magic that was pushed by negative emotions and had a negative effect on the soul was black magic, and nothing else.
That's why Hermione knew that Ryan knew life magic, and she had seen Ryan control the mummy in that pyramid temple but didn't say much. In her eyes, these magic spells were just as ordinary spells as ordinary spells, just a neutral force, and there was no distinction between good and evil.
After resting for a while, the two of them practiced for a while before leaving the Room of Requirement. However, as she was leaving, Hermione took several history books from Ryan in the advanced Valyrian language, saying that she wanted to learn more about that magical world.
