Chapter 49: Quidditch and Chaos Magic
I don't know what kind of butterfly effect it is, which causes Harley to be uninterested in broomsticks, and she has a mediocre sense of Quidditch.
This has always been a sore spot in Sirius's heart~
But regardless of whether or not Hallie was selected as a Quidditch player in her first year, the Quidditch match still had to come as promised.
On the first Saturday in November, a Quidditch match takes place.
Quidditch matches at Hogwarts School generally look like this:
The four houses are divided into two groups, one game each from Halloween to Christmas, and another game from Christmas to Easter.
After Easter comes the final at the end of the school year, with the top two teams from the first four races playing the final.
Tournaments are generally scheduled on Saturdays.
Ted: Why is the game on Saturday? I feel like it's taking away our vacation!
A company that engages in team building on weekends is not a good thing!
When it comes to Quidditch, Gryffindor and Slytherin have always been strong teams, usually playing three times a year.
And the eaglet and the badger are basically accompanied~
The first Quidditch match of the year was the eye-catching Gryffindor vs. Slytherin.
The referee was Ms. Hodge, the professor of the flying lessons, and the game commentator was Hogwarts loudspeaker Lee Jordan.
He's Jamaican-American, dark-skinned, dreadlocked, and looks like the first thing he learns is to rap, and he runs fast.
The enthusiasm of the students and professors for Quidditch was beyond Hermione and Ted's comprehension.
Early in the morning, when Ted was still running, there were already students who got up to take their seats in the arena.
Is this planning to eat without eating? Not really, right? Buy an iPhone?!
By nine o'clock, the game was about to begin, and the Quidditch field was already crowded – well, that was an exaggerated figure of speech.
There are only more than 200 students in the whole school, and the seventh grade is still out for internships and is not in school.
There were only 200 people in the audience. But for Hogwarts it was already a big scene.
The robes of the four colleges are of different colors and colors, and it can be said that they are clearly distinguishing when they sit in the audience.
And on the field, the Quidditch player in Slytherin is called a big five and three thick!
It doesn't feel like you're playing Quidditch, it's like you're playing rugby.
On the Gryffindor side, there are three girls alone, the captain is Oliver Wood, and the remaining two are Weasley twins.
The Seeker is an unknown boy because he doesn't have Harry.
Because there is no savior on the scene, there is no Professor Quirrell to cast spells, and there is no accident where Snape is misunderstood and Hermione burns his robe.
In the end, due to the absence of the Halo Savior, Gryffindor lost to Slytherin, as it had been for several years.
And the loss was miserable, Slytherin's style of play can be called despicable and shameless, and he has been viciously fouling.
Even if it's not polite to girls.
The result of this Quidditch was very dissatisfied with the results of the three houses, and they all scolded Slytherin for being shameless.
Instead, Malfoy came triumphantly with two of his henchmen and showed Harley about Slytherin's victory.
Malfoy: Eh~ Gryffindor is a shame! Is Slytherin super brave good~
Then he was tripped by Jerry's sneak attack and stumbled on, and Ron was directly righteous and faceless!
As soon as Gryffindor and Slytherin came off the ring, the crowd was off the field for round two!
The two sides staged a fist battle again!
But the Malfoy trio is alone, so how can it be good?
It ended with Malfoy's ragged and dirty escape with two of his henchmen.
The Gryffindor lion cub didn't tear the three of them apart, even though they were rough and thick-skinned.
……
Although the Quidditch fiasco was a big blow to many Gryffindors. Even Professor McGonagall was uncomfortable for days.
But Ted didn't care, he continued his life and studies.
After confirming this month's otherworldly knowledge, he finally gave himself another level.
Now a level 3 wizard/level 1 psychic mancer.
Although it only takes 1000 XP to upgrade from Level 1 to Level 2, it takes 1000 + 2000 = 3000 XP to upgrade from Level 2 to Level 3.
There are now 1686 XP left in the XP pool.
And the 1 attribute point of the upgrade reward is added to the intelligence by Ted.
1 skill point is added to mana, reaching mana lv4 (+1 wand).
While holding his wand, Ted's magic power has reached the level of lv5. Reach a level that most adult wizards can't!
The abundance of magic in Ted's body even gave him a sense of "endlessness".
This is, of course, because the magic he knows now is low-level magic, and the consumption is not large. The recovered mana can make up for a large part of the mana consumed, and it can be used for a long time.
This also allowed him to use and practice spells more often, leveling up spells.
It turns out that if you use the spell dozens or hundreds of times a day, it is indeed easy to level up 2.
Several of Ted's spells have been upgraded to level 2, especially the combat aspects of "Frost Armor", "Ice Arrow", and "Iron Armor Spell".
After all, he will do this.
Recently, he's been working on the arcane spells in Dalaran Battle Mage, and he's been paying some results. It doesn't take long to learn your first arcane spell.
On this day, he found a strange magic book in the library, a manuscript.
Chaos Fun!
This is a Muggle, Austin Osman Span, a magic book written in the 70s.
Although he was a Muggle, his neighbor was a witch and was exposed to magic from a young age, and later married her.
This book is his explanation of magic from a Muggle perspective, and even further exploring the possibility of Muggle spelling.
The Spell later became a well-known occultist in the Muggle world, founding a "school of magic" known as Chaos.
This Chaos Sect is not the kind of Chaos of the Four Hawkers in Subspace who needs to be judged by justice and directly turned to ashes.
It means:
The world is inherently unknowable, and no belief system, whether scientific or religious, can be correct.
Because human beings themselves are a tiny part of this world, with their insignificant senses and perspectives, they cannot correctly understand the truth of this world. In other words, human understanding of the world is extremely one-sided......
For example, the world in our eyes is colorful, but in the eyes of some animals it is black and white, and in the eyes of others it is ten times more gorgeous.
And some animals don't have eyes at all, and in their perception, the world is something else.
The so-called don't know the true face of Lushan, only because he is in this mountain.
And what can really make us realize is the world of idealism. The emphasis is on the power of will.
Why are there gods and myths in the world? Because people are inherently afraid of chaos. That is, disorder.
Rather than believing that the world is chaotic and uncontrolled, people prefer to believe that there is a mysterious force that controls everything.
Even if the master of this power is a god who is uncertain.
But the Chaos did not consider those religious idols to be their gods.
The reason why it is called chaos is to emphasize that there are no rules, no organization, no laws, and everything is premised on its own will and practicality.
The Chaos Sect believes that magic is a science that arises from a change of will, and that magic is simply the art or craft of consciousness influencing matter.
Other occult and related organizations that engage in witchcraft or magic believe that if you use magic indiscriminately, you will be rewarded three times over.
This school of thought believes that the phenomenon of triple reward is not an objective law, and the reason why it appears is only caused by the user's own guilt and insecurity.
That is: I don't approve of any triple reward, I'll prostitute it for nothing! So I can prostitute for nothing! What I believe is true!
Because of this, this school of thought is very active, and even came up with the idea of using the robot cat (Doraemon) as a god, Spider-Man as a god, and Salted Egg Superman as a god, etc., all of which are in their practical means, and this works in practice.
It is to take out a figure by yourself, and then keep praying to Him, and treat Him as your god.
This kind of mind, in the end, will become a force that leads the result in the direction of one's prayer in a secret way.
Coincidentally, there is a similar view in psychology called the "Law of Attraction" - which generally refers to the fact that people's thoughts (thoughts) are always attracted to reality that coincides with them, or this is a kind of "wish fulfillment".
The book "The Joy of Chaos" in Ted's hand is the original manuscript of Spel, which elaborates on the possibility of "will magic".
Ted was in a trance after reading it: Is this thing going to work?
The common perception in the wizarding world is: magic = magic + will.
Now you are simply talking about will, is this reliable?
After all, this world is material, and if idealism alone can change reality, then I will really have to punch through the 50-meter steel plate in the case of extreme anger!
But magic aside, if it's a psychic ability—this thing seems to have a real trick!
