Chapter 12 Hidden Ability
The third week of school begins.
While the first-year freshmen were still enjoying campus life, Xie Lin was already racing against time. He spent time in the library every day when he was out of class and on weekends, greedily absorbing all the knowledge that could improve his strength according to the reading list he had planned in the past two weeks.
Until 5 minutes before the library closed, Schelling reluctantly left his seat, and under the staring eyes of the librarian Ms. Pince, he would borrow at least 10 or more books, and then use the time hourglass in the quiet room at night to continue his crazy journey of brushing books!
These strange behaviors of Schelling finally attracted the attention of Ms. Pince.
Ms. Pince always observed this boy silently. She was very curious about how a first-year freshman managed to read more than 1 books a day, and could maintain this amazing reading speed day after day, not to mention that more than half of those books were magic books that only seventh-grade students needed to learn—they included Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, and defensive magic.
While Ms. Pince was observing Schelling, she didn't know that Schelling was also observing her. In Schelling's eyes, this ordinary-looking Ms. Pince was not simple at all.Xie Lin has the ability to see through other people's magic power. With the increase of knowledge, he has a rough judgment on everyone's magic power.
On the day of the entrance ceremony, he could see from the professor's seat that the person with the highest magic power in the school was Principal Dumbledore. His magic power was as hot as fire and his arrogance was overwhelming; followed by the four deans Snape, McGonagall, Flitwick, and Sprout. All of these four deans possessed significantly stronger magic power than Lucius; as for Ms. Hodge of the flying class and Professor Sinista of the astronomy class, their magic power was even much lower than Lucius.
Ms. Pince's magic power is only slightly inferior to the four deans, but her magic power is a bit special, giving Xie Lin a cold and weird feeling. This discovery made Xie Lin decide not to provoke Ms. Pince casually, and he could only suppress his desire for the restricted area.
Time flies, two months have passed, Halloween is coming, according to the first year of the plot, Professor Quirrell's first attack will happen on that day.
After two months of uninterrupted hard study, as well as the actual combat training against Dobby in the room at night from time to time, the current Schelling is not what it used to be compared to the self who just started school.
Under Xie Lin's deliberate time arrangement, and using the time hourglass to gain four extra hours a day, Xie Lin spent at least ten hours a day practicing magic spells in the past two months, which is ten times the time spent by a normal student. Now these hard efforts have finally paid off.
Not only had Schelling mastered many of the upper-grade spells, he had also mastered Occlumency.Speaking of Occlumency, Xie Lin thought it would be a very difficult magic. After all, in the original book, Harry worked so hard that he failed to practice it in the end.
But to Schelling's surprise, Occlumency did not pose much difficulty to Schelling at all. After carefully reading the "Occlumency Practice Guide" he found in the library, he followed every step clearly written down, and successfully put his brain into an ethereal state on the first try.
Without knowing why, Schelling searched the library for a bunch of materials about spiritual magic, and found that the difficulty of spiritual magic varies from person to person, and the difference in the strength of each person's soul is the main reason for the significant gap in mind control.
[Occlumency learned! 】
With the mentality of giving it a try, Schelling tried to learn the lowest level of hypnotic spells, confusion spells, refreshment spells, and happy spells in spiritual magic. He also successfully released the magic in the first attempt, making Dobby, the experimental subject, suddenly sleepy, confused, jumping around excitedly, and giggling all the time...
Now Xie Lin also noticed that something was wrong. Among the many branches of magic, spiritual magic is extremely advanced magic. Even the lowest level of spiritual magic, such as the happy spell, is at least within the scope of the third-year magic spells.
Xie Lin knew very well that he was gifted beyond ordinary people in learning spells, but limited by his age and the mana in his body, even the most powerful wizard could not master these complicated spells on the first try.Xie Lin faintly noticed that this might be because his bloodline power "Magic Eye" still hides many special abilities that need to be dug deeper?
On Halloween, Professor Flitwick announces in Charms class that he thinks they can start making objects fly.The students have been eagerly wanting to try this skill ever since they saw Schelling use this spell to save Neville in the first flying class.
Professor Flitwick divided the class into groups of two and started training.Draco and Pansy were in a group, Daphne and Meredith were in a group, and Schelling was already proficient in this spell, so he didn't need to be in a group with anyone. Instead, he could help guide a few people from the sidelines, just like a little teaching assistant.
"Now, don't forget that subtle wrist movement we've been training!" shrieked Professor Flitwick, as usual, standing on top of his pile of books. "Flick, remember, flick. It's also very important to get your spells right, and don't forget Wizard Baruffeo, who changed the 'f' to an 's' and found himself lying on the floor with a bison on his chest."
In the past two months, under Schelling's training, the little wizards of Slytherin have grown a lot, among which Draco, Daphne, and Meredith have improved the most. Of course, there is inevitably a reason for Schelling's partial treatment.
As for Goyle and Crabbe, Schelling didn't like them very much. Crabbe was not as quiet and honest as he appeared on the surface. In the original book, he had quietly learned black magic including the Fiercefire Curse. Now he would honestly be Draco's follower just because the situation required it. Once there was any trouble in the Malfoy family, Crabbe would definitely expose his ambition.
In Schelling's view, the reason why Draco in the original book went astray and almost went astray, the influence of these two bad friends must be a big factor.
Under Schelling's guidance, Draco was the first to successfully release the Levitation Charm, causing the feather to float in the air, followed by Daphne and Meredith, who each scored [-] points for Slytherin.
The fourth successful one was a girl with long black hair from Ravenclaw. Her appearance and facial features were very delicate. The most attractive thing was the elegant and calm temperament she exuded from her body. With her wearing black-framed classical glasses and dignified curly hair, she exuded a strong bookish atmosphere and a unique intellectual beauty.
Even Xie Lin, who was used to seeing beautiful women, still felt amazed, and inexplicably felt an urge to get acquainted with her.Although Schelling has not had any intersection with Ravenclaw's classmates so far, the name that the girl was read at the sorting ceremony still flashed in the mind of Schelling, who has a terrible memory-Murray McDougal.
The other little wizards did it over and over again, but Feather was still lying motionless on the floor.One of the Ravenclaw boys——Sherin remembered his name was Michael Kona, a playboy who thought he was handsome, because of the excellent performance of Slytherin, Michael, who was eager to express himself, swung his wand vigorously, and the result——
With a bang, the feather exploded. Although the explosion was not powerful, it still burned an embarrassing hole in his cuff...
The floating spell is actually a simplified version created by countless predecessors who have simplified and shortened the complex gravity-reversing magic. It is not difficult to cast it successfully - all you need is to read the spell correctly and swing the wand correctly.But Schelling wasn't content with simply letting feathers float.
Schelling knew that the teaching content of Hogwarts would only teach the basic principles and applications of these magics, but tracing the roots of all spells would involve a bunch of more complicated theories and more advanced applications.For example, the Patronus Charm in the original book could only expel Dementors and Voldebats, but Dumbledore was able to use it to transmit messages over long distances, and even release multiple physical Patronuses.
Under Schelling's dismantling and analysis, he found that the floating spell is actually composed of four parts, which are "floating" - allowing the target item to relieve the influence of gravity; "hovering" - allowing the target item to hover at a designated position in mid-air; "shifting" - allowing the target item to move according to the caster's wishes;
Schelling easily let the feather in front of him float up. The feather could also move lightly in the direction that Schelling's wand was pointing, even hovering in mid-air, spinning and flipping. Finally, under Schelling's command, it floated into the feather box on the professor's desk in a perfect arc.
Little wizards of Slytherin were used to this kind of performance, but the little wizards of Ravenclaw present were full of pressure. With Schelling in Slytherin, it seems that this year's House Cup is basically hopeless, and Professor Flitwick also admired Schelling and added 2 points to Slytherin. Now Slytherin's score is [-] points ahead of No.[-] Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor is even [-] points behind.
After class, Professor Flitwick left Schelling alone and asked Schelling to write a paper on his experience in the Levitation Charm and submit it to "Spell Innovation". At the same time, he invited Schelling to join his Charms Club for this reason.
Xie Lin has decided to use his own strength and reputation to revitalize the family, so he will not refuse the aura that can increase his reputation.
