Chapter 20: Catching the Light
"So remember to wait for us in the foyer at eight o'clock in the evening, don't be late! If Old Centipede Deken sees that I haven't started to deworm the pumpkin seedlings in the manor at 8:10, I'll be punished for copying sentences again! ”
"Hey, wait a minute! Don't run, I haven't promised you yet! ”
"That's it! See you at night~Oh hehehehehehe~"
Ignoring it, Anna let out a hearty laugh and pulled the unknown Audrey away from the scene quickly. Brandi was left alone with a cauldron petrified in place, unable to recover for a long time.
What kind of situation is this, sharing confinement???
Brandi did promise these two people that he would help Audrey as much as possible to find out the messenger who was hiding in the shadows, so there was nothing wrong with being asked to stay with them once in a while, after all, in the event of a surprise attack, Brandi could help more or less - not to mention, just launching the super magic spell machine gun that attacked Brandi is estimated that there are not many students in this school who can withstand it.
But Anna is locked up in confinement, and it would be too much to bring herself with her! The professor of their ancient magic script was watching from the side, which guy would dare to commit murder on the spot in front of the professor!
Speaking of which...... Brandi blinked, wait for us?
The relationship between Audrey and Anna is really not ordinarily close, and they even have to go together in confinement.
Tsk~Shouldn't it be some long-lost sister~
Thinking so, after a few minutes, Brandi, who had finally eaten and drunk, left the cafeteria and planned to go back to the dormitory for a nap. I have to say that there is indeed a reason why so many girls want to apply for their names even after sharpening their heads, and the days of this exchange student are not too comfortable - except for the compulsory courses of two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon every day, almost all other times are arranged freely! Don't look at what Madame Maxim said at the beginning, why are you welcome to take other courses and take classes with Beauxbatons students...... But when Brandi and Katie had a hot mind to see how Beauxbatons' Charms class was different from Hogwarts, they never had similar thoughts again.
At that time, Brandi had only heard Anna mention it before she planned to take a Charms lesson—according to Anna, before the Hogwarts Exchange was born, their Charms class had been vaguely biased towards the usual spells of duel. Anna had recently learned the Obstacle Charm and the Expulsion Charm, and she was so proud of her. Brandi, who was jealous of Quirrell's obstacle spell in his first year, insisted on pulling Katie to go to Anna's Charms class to steal the latest operation of the current duel. Outcome......
It's okay to start being stared at with weird eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, and it's not this kind of visual effect when you're walking on the road these days...... The professor is too obscene on this side of the question, obviously listening to the student next to Beauxbatons say that he has been learning a cold spell that can restrain the iron armor spell in the past two days, but the professor's book has turned to that page and is ready to speak, and after seeing Brandi and Katie, two foreign schoolmen, it has inexplicably changed to the four readings of the cleansing spell...... The whole class accompanied Brandi and the two fell asleep for a lesson, and after the class, Brandi, who was haunted by the room full of resentment, almost dragged Katie, who didn't wake up, out of the classroom.
Even a common spell in a duel has to be hidden, it's really slamming!
That's the only thing Brandi has to say about Beauxbatons' Charms professor. In short, since then, Brandi has had no interest in Beauxbatons' classes at all.
But even in such a leisurely life, he is not without progress at all......
Back in the dorm room, Brandi locked himself in the bathroom again under Akihari's strange gaze, Brandi closed his eyes tightly. The wand trembled slightly in his hand, and his mouth opened and closed silently—slowly, the milky white light lingering on the wand's head, like substance.
Contemplation...... Focus...... Find the point on the wand that is enough to maintain balance.
His mind was completely immersed in it, and Brandi seemed to feel the dark blue magic flowing in his body and wand, and under the skill of silent casting, the invisible magic had already formed a complete fluorescent spell, which could shoot out of the wand at any time.
But he didn't seem to intend to do so, and his spirit and will turned into an invisible shackle, trying to bind the fully mature spell to the place where the wand core was—it was undoubtedly more challenging than cutting off the galloping magic, like trying to catch an invisible light.
Suddenly, the light of the spell was pulled by an inexplicable force, and it was sucked back into the head of the wand, forming a milky white bead of light that was still shaking on the pitch-black wand.
Good! At least nothing went wrong with the first step......
Sweat slid down her sideburns, Brandi tensed her nerves, and her wand-holding hand even broke out. It was too hard, and it was fraught with danger, the spell was besieged by Brandy's will, and almost every impact caused a huge wave on the mental plane - the pin-and-needle tingling and fatigue in his head were constantly affecting his concentration, and he didn't dare to let go.
He desperately blocked the wand and kept the spell from firing, but what happens when the fluorescent spell is out of control and flows back down the wand - just a thrilling full-body X-ray?
Brandi didn't have the courage to do such an experiment. And now the fluorescent spell is forgotten, in case you practice the fire spell that day? Knockback Spell?
He had to be cautious, after all, what he was working on was something that even Dumbledore couldn't possibly know: the last time Parvati and Padma teamed up to use that strange spell that had an unexpected effect on the soul—it broke through the soul barrier of Riddle's diary, and seemed to flip a switch in Brandy's head. The memories of the boy that had been sealed in the depths of his mind were re-released as the seal broke.
Think about it, thousands of pieces, how much wealth would be hidden in the memory fragments of the most powerful group of ancient wizards thousands of years ago! In particular, it also contains some of the initial teaching process of the Big Four!
Brandy, who reacted shortly after, was almost hungrily trying to absorb and digest the millennia-old wizarding lessons and the boy's own learning experiences that existed in his memory.
Even though most of them were in tatters, and many of the remaining bits weren't even enough for Brandi to realize what they were for—after a month of absorbing and summarizing, he managed to deduce two incomplete results that might really be reducible: a spell with two syllables missing, and a new spellcasting technique.
Since he was in Beauxbatons, there was no quiet and unknown classroom No. 13, and Brandi did not dare to try to complete the spell rashly, he knew very well how risky it would be to change the spell, and even a single syllable error could change the nature of the spell drastically. He didn't want to be charged with bombing Beauxbatons Castle for the time being......
But that spellcasting technique was another story, and given the specificity of the spiritual plane and the soul power that was enough to sever the link of magic, he wasn't too worried about poking out some kind of basket - at least he wasn't too worried about it at first.
Now...... He wasn't worried that the castle would be blown up by himself, he was only worried that he would accidentally be beaten into a humanoid self-propelled incandescent lamp by the out-of-control fluorescent spell in his body......
Controlling his mind and narrowing the scope little by little, Brandi struggled to stabilize the light bead at that point. He'd done this at least twenty or thirty times before, and each time he was forced to launch it because he couldn't withstand the impact of the spell - but this time it seemed to have changed, and although the orb clearly still didn't like to be so honest, the wand seemed to have accepted the idea of an extra ball of light in his body in dozens of attempts. Brandi was pleasantly surprised to find that the resistance he received was much smaller than before, and he subconsciously accelerated the process of compression—the magnitude of the light ball jitter became more and more slight—and it stopped completely!
It worked! Seeing that the ball of light on the wand was gradually absorbed by the wand and turned into a bright silver symbol on the spot, Brandi hugged the wand with joy and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his head.
He raised his wand and raised it high. Then he pointed to the wall beside him and waved it gently.
Silently, as the bright silver of the shaft dimmed, the head of the rod was lit up again. A soft light lit up in the small bathroom, reflecting Brandi's ecstatic face in front of the mirror.
Engraving Spell - Fluorescent Flash!
………………
Once the glow spell has successfully left an engraving on the wand, delaying the cast again is not as cumbersome as it is now - just infuse the spell with mana and let the spell take shape in the same way as you normally cast, and the engraving will naturally help stabilize the delayed spell.
Even if you delay casting, it's impossible to keep the spell for too long, and it will only last about ten minutes. And the effect of the spell will not be as powerful as Brandi's normal spell - but it can be instantaneous when released~ No gestures, no syllables, and no mouth opening! Even Snape had to face a few lip-syncs when he cast a curse on Harry!
Tsk, this kind of covert and sudden attack, how many people can react to the wizards now? Brandi couldn't help but smile and cross his waist with a smile on his face.
"Hahahahahahaha
Hey! I, Brandi, am invincible!
