Chapter Seventy-Seven: Opening and Closing

"It's so nostalgic......"

Ike crouched to the side, watching Professor Snape busily dismember the basilisk, the Sorting Hat on his head suddenly let out a sigh of admiration.

"What do you miss?" Ike looked a little bored and a little lost.

Originally, he wanted to secretly hide a basilisk's fangs, but under the gaze of the four professors, he couldn't do anything at all.

With Snape's character, not even a basilisk scale would be left for Ike.

What's more, just now after Professor McGonagall completed the feat of slaying snakes, the Gryffindor Sword disappeared. Ike also tried several times to pull the sword out of the Sorting Hat, only to receive a long laugh from the Sorting Hat.

"I miss the way Mileva wielded the Gryffindor sword!" The Sorting Hat moved, as if excited, "God knows how long I've been waiting for this day!" It's been years, and no one has pulled out this sword except Minerva. ”

"Really?"

"Nope." The Sorting Hat sighed, "This is an enchanted sword, and only a true Gryffindor can pull out the Gryffindor Sword when needed. ”

"Obviously, no Gryffindor wizard since Minerva has possessed the spirit of Gryffindor."

Ike didn't react much, he wanted to tell the chattering hat that without him, a young wizard would pull out the Gryffindor Sword this year, and there would be more in the future.

His mind was now on how to deduct a little basilisk parts from Snape's hand, at least one tooth, and poking the Horcrux with something was very easy and fast.

"Ike...... Professor Flitwick walked over, and Ike quickly stood up with his sorting hat on and saluted back.

Professor Flitwick waved his hand, pulled Ike a little farther away, and said, "Don't be too nervous, I just want to talk to you......"

"Speaking of which, you should have found that gift......

"Yes, Professor." Ike replied softly, "I found it, but it's so profound that I can only understand a small part of it." ”

"It's pretty good, at least I don't have you at your age." Professor Flitwick smiled and pushed the glasses on his nose, "Ancient magic, magic from the age of the Big Four and magic we use now are actually three different kinds of magic, you find it difficult, but you haven't found the right way......"

"How's your ancient script? I often see you holding that "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Demon Texts". ”

"I guess it's okay......" Ike replied with a hint of frustration. This is not something he pretended, until now there is no skill display of ancient magic on the waste notepad system, obviously according to the standards of the system, Ike does not know enough about ancient magic scripts.

But according to the comparison results between himself and the senior students, there is not much difference, and it is even slightly better in use.

Otherwise, Ike wouldn't have been able to create a combination of that magic array and ancient magic scripts.

"I kind of understand." Flitwick looked at Ike and thought for a moment before saying, "Ike, you must know that ancient magic is actually a language, and the most important thing to learn a new language is ......"

"Say more, write more? But Professor, ancient magic texts can cause magical reactions. ”

"That's true." "So I think the best thing you should do now is not to continue learning new magic, but to try to forget about it. ”

"Forget about magic?" Ike was a little confused, he thought Professor Flitwick was playing with him with matryoshka dolls.

"That's right! I've noticed that even in normal times you are used to using magic to solve problems, which creates a problem where you can only put it away, but you can't take it away......"

"Regular use of magic can indeed improve the wizard's control over magic and magic, but it can also lead to a dependence on magic......"

"Professor, I don't quite understand, is this a bad thing?" Ike was completely stunned and hurriedly asked.

"Of course it's not a bad thing." Flitwick scratched his head and organized the language a little before replying, "You can try to understand it that way......

"A wizard is a container, and the magic is the water inside. When we cast the magic, we made a small opening in the container so that the water inside could flow out. A magic is a small opening, and the more magic you master, the more openings you have. ”

"You're in a situation where you can open that particular little opening without thinking, but you can't actively close it and let the water come out of the other opening."

Professor Flitwick stood a little further away and said to Ike, "You can give it a try, use the Illumination Charm now, but the spell I'm asking you to recite is the Levitation Charm. ”

"These are your two best spells, right?"

"Come on, try it!"

Ike took his wand and shouted at Flitwick's request, "Yuga Dim Leviosa!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Professor Flitwick floated up.

Flipwick dismantled the little spell, and Professor Flitwick smiled and said, "See what's wrong, Ike." ”

"Yes, Professor." Ike nodded slightly, frowning.

The result was unexpected. The Levitation Spell and the Illumination Spell were Ike's first magic spells to reach Lv6, and they were played by Ike in various ways over the years.

I thought that I could easily fulfill Professor Flitwick's request, but the moment I recited the spell, the flow trajectory of the magic in my body suddenly changed!

"You can practice this method, increasing the difficulty little by little, in addition to being good for your mana control, it can also confuse your opponent in battle."

"Think about it, when the spell you chant is an explosion spell, but the magic you actually unleash is a fire spell, can you make your opponent scramble?"

Subconsciously nodded, although I always felt that something was not quite right, but I couldn't find it for a while.

"Okay professor, I'll practice." Ike decided that it would be better to say yes first, and this practice method did work.

After the practice, when you face Comrade Xiaofu again, you can recite the spell of the fire curse, but it is Arvada who is released.

I'm sure I'll be able to catch him off guard!

"It's not an easy thing to do, especially for you. You've taken some spells as instinct, and trying to control them is quite troublesome. ”

"I'll do it, Professor." Ike smiled brightly, and Professor Flitwick nodded in satisfaction.

The two chatted for a while, and Professor Snape on the other side finally finished dealing with the basilisk, not even sparing the snake blood on the ground, and cleaned it up.

Ike also deliberately crouched down and searched carefully, except for the rubble, there was no remnant of the basilisk.

"Alright, it's time for us to go back." Professor McGonagall took the Sorting Hat from the top of Ike's head and held it in her hand, looked at her watch, it was getting late, and beckoned everyone to leave.

"It's time to go back." Snape chimed in, and Ike rolled his eyes.

"Of course you'll have to hurry back so you can put the basilisk in your private collection."

Empty it sooner or later!
