Chapter 0050: Hogwarts' Open Class on Magic
Let's not talk about what the students of all grades at Hogwarts think of the school's upcoming new magic open class, let's go back to half a month ago, at that time, except for some necessary staff and those ghosts who dare not die, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry campus and the main castle that have not yet opened are still relatively deserted, but it is a bit lively in the headmaster's office!
Because it's a big little day! The crumpled pet little phoenix that Annie gave to Hermione earlier can finally leave the care of the adult phoenix Fawkes, and it can already survive on its own! So, Dumbledore informed Hermione and asked her to come to Hogwarts to take her little phoenix! Of course, if you can, be sure to bring little Anne with you, Dumbledore has some ideas that need to be discussed with Anne, and by the way, you can brush up on friendliness.
The hairless little phoenix that looked crumpled and ugly to Anne is now full-fledged! The bright fiery red feathers all over the body, and a touch of golden flame-like lines on the chest, look very beautiful! Now Hermione is teasing her new pet, and after a simple contract, the little phoenix has come to claim her as the master! Hermione also gave Fawkes a new name inspired by its name: Jinx!
But in Anne's opinion, this Jinx is just a smaller Fawkes! It looks like a smaller red turkey! Fortunately, she didn't decide to raise it in the first place, otherwise she would have regretted it now! Then you might as well roast and eat it!
As soon as Anne glanced at it, the Jinx flew back to Hermione's shoulder in fright, and it seemed that it was very afraid of Anne! Presumably, that Fawkes must have spoken ill of Anne in front of it! In its eyes, Anne may have become a big bad wolf-like character, right?
Cut! Seeing that the little bird didn't dare to come close to her, Anne didn't bother to pay attention to it anymore, so she continued to go back and talk to the old man Dumbledore! Idle is idle anyway, and since this old man named Dumbledore is willing to talk to her about magic and other things, of course Anne will not have stage fright!
In her opinion, although the strength of this bad old headmaster named Dumbledore is indeed not very good, he is still very insightful about the magic of their wizarding world! His knowledge is extraordinarily rich! If Anne needs to learn from some of the world's spells, it would be great to talk to him!
In this way, the three of them, old and young, chatted happily in this small office for a whole morning, but most of the time, it was Annie and Dumbledore chatting about various spells and tips, while Hermione listened diligently!
The cunning Dumbledore skillfully used language skills to obtain all the information about Anne in small talk, including Anne's origin and the customs of Valoran! And Anne has also gained some of the essence of many of this world's spells! It's also a small gain!
The most rewarding thing should be Hermione! She has been listening silently from the sidelines, although she can't understand a lot of what the two of them say, but this does not prevent her from using shorthand magic to record it! This knowledge and experience cannot be seen in the book, this is an exchange of experience between two of the world's top mages, and the value of what she recorded is by no means beyond Hermione's imagination now! These notes will be of great help to her in the future!
The spell exchange came to an end, and Dumbledore couldn't stop sighing! In his opinion, there are indeed too many unknowns in the world of magic! Although Dumbledore was surprised that Anne was able to travel through the plane of time and space, he didn't really dig too deep! Although he can't understand it for the time being, since this thing has happened, it always has a rationality for existence! No matter how unbelievable it is!
This may be what Dumbledore had heard in the East during his early travels: There is a sky beyond the sky? Someone else? If it can be understood in this way, it means that there are countless worlds outside the world? Could the world their wizard live in be just a speck of dust in countless worlds? Can the universe really be so vast?
It turns out that their wizarding world has been self-contained! The ultimate in magic is able to cross the barriers of the plane and reach another world? And according to what little Anne just said, the magic she knows is far from the extreme, and in the world of exploring magic, there is no end? Magic isn't just a spell of destruction? And can it also analyze all things in the world and the rules of the universe? If it really got to that point, how powerful would that be?
If you really reach that height, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the true God of creation, right? And Anne, who was already at the highest point of the wizarding world in his opinion, was just the demigod rank she was talking about? In Valoran, there are a lot of demigods, gods, supergods, and so on? And as a demigod, she can only use the rules of certain realms? What is the field? Dumbledore said he didn't understand! The rules haven't been touched! He didn't dare to think about it even if he was a demigod or something!
For the first time, Dumbledore felt that he was just a frog crouching at the bottom of a well! I always thought the sky was so big as I could see! Once upon a time, he was always complacent about what he had achieved! As everyone knows, the sky outside is unexpectedly bigger! In his lifetime, he really wanted to go out and see the sky again!
However, Dumbledore actually knew that his frog at the bottom of the well was too old! So old that you probably don't have many years to live! It's definitely not going to get up! And I don't have the heart to jump anymore! Maybe what little Anne said last time was right! These wizards are a bunch of weirdos who can only throw spells with sticks!
Although he is afraid that the old frog will not be able to jump, it does not mean that the others can't? Besides! They have so many other seedlings at Hogwarts! They are still extremely malleable! Looking at Hermione Granger as she was intently taking notes, Dumbledore looked down and muttered for a moment, as if he had made some kind of decision, and when the conversation was over, he might be able to fight for it.
"That's right! Anne, there's one thing I've always wanted to ask! Seems like you don't need to use a wand at all when casting spells? Dumbledore was puzzled by this, although he was as powerful as he himself could barely cast spells without a wand, but it was only for some small tricks that required less mana!
If it's magic for combat, there's nothing he can do, so he'll have to use a staff! Otherwise, the magic surging out of the body will be unleashed without the communication mediated by the wand, and those spells will hurt themselves before they can damage the enemy!
At present, in the current wizarding world, it seems that apart from Anne, Dumbledore has not heard of anyone who can cast spells without a wand at all! Wizards need a wand because they need it to communicate the magic in their bodies! This is because the wand itself is made from parts of the magical creatures that are good for conducting magical power! These magical materials are the necessary conditions for casting spells! They conduct magic very well!
Dumbledore, who had read a lot of literature, remembered that in ancient times, it was said that there were no wizards at that time, and there was no magic in human bodies, let alone any spells! It wasn't until the time of King Arthur that the first wizard in the true sense of the word appeared in the human race! He's Merlin!
And Merlin is said to be born from the combination of Nightmare, a magical creature with extraordinary magical powers, and a mortal woman, and it is the Nightmare's bloodline that allows Merlin to inherit supernatural powers! Thus, the first sorcerer ancestor of mankind was born! Later, with the continuous reproduction, and the continuous combination of more and more human women and magical creatures who like to hunt for curiosities, or the continuous combination of human men and female magical creatures, the wizard group has finally grown step by step!
However, although humans at that time had magic power in their bodies due to bloodline, their fragile bodies did not have the natural conduction of magic like magical creatures, so spellcasting was still not so reliable for wizards at that time! Only a few gifted wizards can easily do it!
Until a wizard made a simple wand for the first time! By making it easier to cast spells, the human wizard community can be said to grow in the true sense of the word! It was then that the human wizard never seemed to leave his wand!
Before, when he was in Gringotts, because Dumbledore had never fought against Annie, he didn't care too much about it! But later, after reading the battle footage in the newspaper, he discovered this astonishing fact: little Annie didn't need a wand to cast spells at all! And she didn't suffer any magic backlash!
This also made his evaluation of Anne at that time go to a higher level! It's not too scary! If Dumbledore was allowed to cast a fireball spell without a wand, without a wand, I am afraid that this fireball spell would treat his arm as a wand, and if he forcibly cast it, he would either not be able to release it and cause a magic backlash, or he would directly burn his arm first, right? After all, human arms aren't as tough as the materials of magical creatures, and they're good for the transmission of magic!
"That's right! Annie! How the hell do you do that? After taking notes on the side, Hermione, who was about to tease the little phoenix on her shoulder, also turned her head and asked.
She is also curious about this question, casting spells without a wand or something is too tall for her now! If it were her, without a wand, even if she held back the magic power of her whole body, she probably wouldn't be able to release the simplest lighting spell, right? Or at most a stirring magical riot?
"Huh?" Anne, in turn, looked at the two curiously. "Spell caster without a wand? Isn't that weird? Who told you that magic must be cast with a wand? It can't be the bad old man who sells wands, right? Thinking of the stubborn old man named Ollivander, Anne was angry!
In Valoran, she had never heard of a magic wand to cast magic! In Anne's mind, the wand is at best an extra device to increase the power of a spell! It's a dispensable existence! Of course, something is better than nothing! Because a good wand can increase the power of spells!
Anne didn't like wands like that, though, mainly because they were too cumbersome to carry! It's also more cumbersome to use! Get in the way! Not at all! After all, a lot of wands are too tall for Anne! Look at those Ice Scepters, or Loki's Scepters that she had brought from New York! Their normal posture is taller than Anne's! What did little Anne say like she was holding them?
Anne had also heard that there was an evil little mage in the Valoran continent or something, and he seemed to have a nice artifact hat! What's it called? The Death Hat of the Destroyer? It is said that in addition to increasing the strength of the spell, it can also increase the power of the spell by 35 percent? If it's something that is so convenient, Anne is okay with it! But if it's a wand, forget it!
"To release magic, you need a wand!" Hermione looked at Annie in surprise, she had been taught that she needed a wand to cast spells! Every wizard must have his own wand! A wizard without a wand is like a squib!
So, one of the ways the Ministry of Magic punishes wizards who commit serious crimes is to break their wands! And then he wasn't allowed to buy a new wand! In their minds, a wizard without a wand is not a qualified wizard at all! Without a wand, a wizard is no longer a threat! It's like a mysterious person, no matter how powerful he is, what can he do? How dare he go out and try it without a wand?
"And a wand? It's just nonsense! Hum! You can see clearly! Anne looked at the old and the young angrily, and stood up with a grunt, and then stretched out her finger, and a fireball the size of a basin that exuded a scorching smell appeared directly above her finger! In her opinion, these two must have been fooled by the bad old man who sold wands! That bad old man can't wait for everyone to live without the rotten wood he made!
"This! This! This! How exactly did you do that? "Hermione knew when she was at Gringotts that Annie could cast spells without a wand! But she was already frightened and confused by the situation at that time, and she was not in the mood to notice these details at all!
Hermione only learned more about it later from the newspaper! Although she had been prepared for a long time in her heart, this was the first time she had clearly and carefully perceived this scene up close and carefully with her own eyes! The sight in front of her made her a little unacceptable! It felt like it completely upended everything she had learned in school! Or was she indoctrinated with some false knowledge? In fact, she had always wanted to ask Anne when she was at home, but what about the fact that this might be some of Anne's unique secrets? That's why I didn't dare to ask!
"Hmm~! A bit of an inspiration indeed! Dumbledore groaned, being a being at the top of the wizarding world! He felt so much more than Hermione had seen just now!
Most wizards rely on their own magic to cast spells! Consume a portion of your own mana to create a spell effect! And the magic grows as the wizard grows! Therefore, the older the wizard, the stronger his magic level becomes! Of course, the talents of each wizard are also taken into account during this period! The higher the talent, the more room to grow! And just now, he barely felt the fluctuation of the magic power on Anne's body! It seems that this spell has not mobilized any magic power in her at all! Is it because she has so much magic that she doesn't feel the change?
"Annie, it's okay that this fireball didn't use a wand, but it doesn't seem to invoke any of your own magic?" Dumbledore asked, a little uncertain, a little confused by his own judgment! You can cast spells without a wand! It can also be instantaneous without spells! But you're not using any of your own mana! That's a little unmagical!
"Plastic energy spells! Just build a spell model and guide the surrounding energy to resonate! Why waste your magic? Anne was also amazed at the old man's thoughts! If all spells require their own magic power, she won't be able to release a super-large range of forbidden spells in some fields if she drains her magic power! Only apprentices use their magic to cast spells all the time, right?
This is a fire-based spell in the Plastic Energy system! And the fireball spell is just one of the most basic spells! In a world with a magic net, the mage can release it as long as he communicates with the magic web! In worlds without magic nets, such as Valoran, you need to communicate with the energy that is free in the natural world or the void, and then build a spell model!
There is so much energy available in nature, so why make a fool of using your own magic? A low-level mage may need to waste a lot of his own mana to resonate, but compared to Anne, it is just to resonate, and the little mana wasted is not as much as it recovers itself! Don't worry about it at all!
"Plastic energy? Spell models? "Dumbledore had never heard of these words, could magic still play like that? Isn't magic divided into black magic, white magic, attack defense magic, and other auxiliary magic? Chant a spell and wave your wand when you need to, and the spell will fly out? It's always been like this in their wizarding world!
"Huh? You don't even know this, do you? So how exactly do you cast spells? Anne suddenly became a little curious, could it be that the wizards here had any tricks she didn't know?
"Uh..., this oneβ" Dumbledore suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Isn't magic just chanting a spell, and then following the instructions, according to the essentials of the movement, mobilizing the magic power, and then waving the wand a few times?" Hermione said weakly on the side, she had always learned magic like this! And learn fast! And I've been very complacent!
"Hah! So that's it! I don't know the principle, I don't know the spell model! Casting spells only by spells, gestures, and your own magic powers? No wonder you rely so much on that broken log! Anne was a little shocked!
She finally knew why the wizards had been tied to a pillar by her when she had taken their wands away from them! She wondered why they didn't cast any more spells to resist if she had just tied them up with magic ropes at random. I see! In that case, it makes sense! Looks like they really need that wooden wand!
Although Anne herself was more playful when she was in the Voodoo Lands, she had almost finished reading the books of the Mage Tower, the books in the library, and the books in the house in the gray order, right? Even if a lot of them are forced to watch by their mother Amoline, or use spells to forcibly memorize! But after she became familiar with the principles of spells, familiar with spell models, and then with her own unique talent, all magic became a matter of course! That's what Anne is doing now! Or do you really think that Anne was born like this?
And what about these people? Learn only mantras, only hand gestures? If you put it in Valoran, I'm afraid you will have to be an apprentice for life, right? By the time you're done chanting the spell, they'll already have a few spells in your face! Or people don't need to use spells to counter at all, and they don't need to disarm you, just a silence spell, what should you do? How else do you chant mantras? Take a wand and stab someone in hand-to-hand combat?
"Huh! That's a real problem. Dumbledore smiled awkwardly, and then he finally made up his mind and asked Anne carefully, "So, Annie, do you want to come to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" β
"Huh? School? School?! I don't want it!! "Anne remembered when she was in school in New York, and it wasn't fun at all! I have to do my homework and get up early to go to school! Forget it, the key is that you often have to be beaten up for small reports! She's annoyed! She doesn't want to go to school anymore! Never! Moreover, when her space gem is fully charged, she will be on her way! I don't want to stay in this world for long!
"No, no, no! Annie, you're wrong, I'm not asking you to come to Hogwarts! Besides, we probably don't have anything to teach you! I mean, I want to ask you: are you interested in running an open class in school? Those that, well, special magical things that teach you specifically? Dumbledore wiped his sweat before holding his reading glasses and looking at Anne with blazing eyes!
He had already thought so! It's better to be happy alone than to be happy! Wouldn't it be a pity not to let this powerful demigod little girl take advantage of it? Her knowledge is very useful! It has a great effect on the transformation of the wizarding world! And, the point is, how useful can he be if he listens alone? Only by sowing the seeds of innovation can the wizarding world have hope to jump out of the dry well of self-containedness! Never be that frog at the bottom of the well again!
"Huh? Classes? Let me be a professor? Are you sure you're not joking? "Anne seems to have heard something interesting! All at once! It seems to be a lot more fun than going to school as a student or something!
"Of course not! And! It's up to you when and when you start your lessons! Looking at Anne's performance, Dumbledore knew that his suggestion must have been accepted by little Anne! Ho~! O lost little lamb! It's in the old man's bowl again, right? Cast spells without a wand! Spell model plastic can be tied to something, the old man also wants to learn it!
Just now, Dumbledore actually figured out that he couldn't let the little girl come to his headmaster's office every time to chat and discuss spell exchange experiences, and how many things could he say when he came here? Maybe one day the little girl will never come back after being irritable! That's a big loss!
In that case, it would be better to simply let the little girl run a class on her own! In that case, you can actually listen to it yourself! Right? And in order to take the lead well, Dumbledore also decided that he would take time out to sit in on every of Anne's lessons! The principal personally leads by example and sets a good example for the students!
"Yes! That's it! "When I was in New York, Anne, who had always gone to school, was suddenly told that she could take a separate course and become a professor! Of course, she can't let go of this opportunity! That's a teacher! It seems to be fun! Who dares to beat someone with a small hand board if they don't listen to her? Hey!
