Chapter 416: Apparition

Schelling's invigilator was a middle-aged bald man with a stern and serious personality. He introduced himself as Professor Jackson.

Although Schelling could be considered a celebrity in the global wizarding world, he did not give Schelling any extra preferential treatment. In his opinion, it was a huge mistake for the Danish Magical Government to abolish the age requirement for Apparition exams - data showed that over the past fifty years, the number of failed Apparition cases in Denmark had increased by 300%, with % of the young wizards unable to receive emergency treatment and ultimately being hospitalized for long-term or lifelong treatment, and several of them died as a result.

Therefore, when he met Schelling, he just thought of him as an overconfident little brat.

Of course, he had no right to refuse - first of all, Schelling had paid for it. The cost of learning Apparition here was twice as expensive as the tuition in Great Britain. If converted into Galleons, it would be close to 25 Galleons. Moreover, when he first entered the Ministry of Magic to register his identity, he presented two identity certificates: "Son-in-law of the head of the Hohenheim family" and "Durmstrang Special VIP Plate".

In Denmark, everyone knows that these two forces are not to be trifled with. One is a pure-blood family with powerful alchemy, and the other is a top education center representing all of Northern Europe. Not to mention that he is just a worker for the Ministry of Magic, even the Danish Minister of Magic has to put on a smile when he sees Schelling.

Therefore, under the arrangement of a senior official of the Ministry of Magic, Xieling got a one-on-one learning opportunity. Compared with the normal teaching of 20 to 30 students in a class, this means more efficient learning and can also help Xieling save a lot of precious time.

The Apparition Detection Center is a specially designated area in the Ministry of Magic. There are no anti-Apparition arrays here, nor are there any external factors that can interfere with the operation of magic.

Theoretical lessons usually require young wizards to learn and memorize the knowledge recorded in the official manuals they have been given. Only wizards who have completed this part are allowed to come to the Ministry of Magic and start directly from practical lessons.

"You should have reviewed the key points of Apparition, but I will repeat them again," said Professor Jackson. He waved his wand and an old-fashioned wooden circle appeared on the ground. "The most important thing to remember when Apparating is the three Ds - purpose, determination, and calmness. Now, the first step is to focus your attention on the barrel circle."

Schelling stared at the gray circle of ground in his wooden circle, concentrating his attention.

"Very good, concentrate!" Professor Jackson said slowly, "The next step is to be determined to occupy the space you want to occupy, and let the desire to enter overwhelm every smallest part of your body."

Xie Ling also focused his eyes on the wooden circle, trying to think about where he was going to reach.

"Step three!" Professor Jackson shouted loudly, "When I give the order, you will start spinning on the spot and put yourself into a void state. Be gentle in your movements! Now listen to my command, three, two, one..."

As soon as Professor Jackson finished speaking, Schelling immediately cast a spell, and a strong sense of dizziness rose in his body. His body swayed and spun upwards, and was about to enter the void.

"You're spinning too much..." Professor Jackson scolded.

At this moment, the rune on the anti-dizziness bracelet suddenly lit up, dispelling the dizziness in Xie Ling's mind. Xie Ling suddenly tripped and almost lost his balance.

He took a deep breath, used magic to adjust his posture based on the principle of flying without an instrument, and disappeared on the spot.

"Don't worry, it's normal to fail the first time... What?" Professor Jackson stayed where he was, his eyes wide in disbelief.

……

As a strong sense of suffocation came over him, Xie Ling felt that every part of his body was being squeezed, his eyeballs were squeezed back into his head, and his eardrums were pressed deep into his skull, as if he was roughly stuffed into a very narrow rubber tube. This was not his first time to experience Apparition, he had always relied on the help of a house elf before, but this time was the first time he entered this space with his own strength, and this experience was more uncomfortable than any other time before.

After coming out of the "rubber tube", Xie Ling had already found himself in another dimension, an absolutely empty and dark world, where there was no light and vision became zero. Without air, there would naturally be no sound waves or airflow, and the sense of smell, hearing and touch were all zero. He felt empty and floating, as if he was under a thousand-foot deep ocean.

Suddenly, an impact pulled Xie Ling out of the space. The feeling at this moment was so familiar that Xie Ling felt very relaxed. He didn't have to exert any effort at all. Relying on his mental power, Xie Ling easily grasped the direction. When his skin felt fully restored, Xie Ling's body emerged from the void and his feet fell back to the ground.

Professor Jackson stood there in shock, while Schelling appeared accurately in the wooden circle.

Professor Jackson's expression was different, with a hint of anger, and he said angrily, "Mr. Malfoy, do you find this funny?"

“I didn’t expect to succeed on the first try, so it felt okay, but not particularly interesting.”

Suddenly feeling the chill, Professor Jackson's magic began to surge. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you are a distinguished guest of Durmstrang and the son-in-law of the Hohenheim family, it doesn't mean you can tease others at will."

Xie Ling was stunned and asked back: "What are you talking about? When did I tease you?"

Professor Jackson couldn't help but point at Schelling and said harshly, "Your Apparition is very familiar and experienced in terms of accuracy and speed, almost as good as mine. You're actually teasing us and want me to teach you how to Apparition?"

Xie Ling couldn't help but laugh and cry, and said: "Professor, I think this must be a misunderstanding. This is really the first time I have performed this magic. Before this, I did experience several "apparitions" under the guidance of others——" Xie Ling thought for a while, and seeing that Professor Jackson still had a serious expression on his face, he said helplessly: "But I don't think this is surprising. I think I have some talent for magic, so what's the problem with succeeding the first time?"

Professor Jackson said in a positive tone: "It's impossible. It's absolutely impossible to succeed the first time."

"Why?" Xie Ling asked puzzledly.

"Space magic is almost the highest level in the field of magic. There have been countless magic geniuses throughout history, but there has never been a precedent of successfully performing the Apparition the first time—" Professor Jackson swallowed and said, "There is a legend in Denmark that the Apparition actually comes from the devil, and is used to travel between the human world and the devil world—you can also understand it this way..."

"Just like it's normal for a newborn baby to cry, if it can talk to people right after leaving the mother's body, it's a serious ominous sign..." Professor Jackson saw that Xie Ling was not lying, and his face gradually turned pale. "According to the legend, you are most likely a wizard who does not belong to this world..."

Ahaha, that's it. Using the following example, Schelling immediately understood.

He himself is a time traveler from another world. He had thoughts when he was a baby, and in the so-called legend, he is indeed a "monster".

This world has a dimensional wall, and the rules of the world operate within the dimensional wall, so no matter how talented or brilliant everyone is, they must abide by the rules of this dimensional world. However, Xie Ling had touched the power of the dimensional wall through the third blood riot, and the being who called himself "Destiny" had also said that his power was very advanced, and it was obvious that he had mastered some ability that transcended this dimensional world.

In this way, everything is explained.

Professor Jackson left.

Before leaving, he handed the certificate of passing the Apparition test to Schelling and registered the relevant information in his wand. This certificate can be used in more than 100 countries around the world that have signed the "Geneva Convention on Magical Apparition". In this way, no matter which country Schelling goes to, as long as he hands over his wand for inspection, he can legally perform Apparition there.

[The secret of magic transfer - learn the apparition! ]

[Internationally recognized Apparition qualification certificate obtained! ]

Xie Ling did not leave immediately, but continued to practice in this empty classroom where no one would disturb him.

He used the Transfiguration Spell to create colored ink, and controlled the ink to draw colored circles of different sizes in the classroom. Some were near, some were far, and the farthest was almost ten feet away. Then he used the Apparition spell, and his figure appeared in each circle one by one according to the order in his mind, and then disappeared immediately.

With repeated practice, Xie Ling's movements became more and more skillful. Often, as soon as his sight fell on the circle in the distance and a thought arose in his mind, his body quickly entered a state of emptiness.

Every time Schelling was able to appear in the circle accurately. He had completely adapted to the suffocating feeling he had when he performed Apparition for the first time, and the dizziness he felt during the rotation had completely disappeared.

It seems that using Apparition to change positions in actual combat is no longer a problem for Schelling.

All that's left is to increase the speed and distance of Apparition.

There are limits to how far you can Apparate - the distance and speed at which you can Apparate varies greatly from person to person. As the distance you can Apparate increases, it becomes increasingly difficult. Apparating across countries can only be done by highly skilled wizards, otherwise you risk separation, serious injury, or even death.

In addition to this, Apparition requires the wizard to have a good understanding of the destination, and they need to clearly imagine it in their mind. Harry Potter's first official use of Apparition in the original book is very impressive, he Apparated a weak Albus Dumbledore for a long distance, possibly even across the country.

Xie Ling believed that there was no reason why his talent was worse than Harry's. If Harry could do it, Xie Ling could definitely do it better.

So, go ahead and try Apparating from a distance!
The key points and process of casting the spell were the same as before, but this time the target location of the Apparition was not within Xie Ling's field of vision. He needed to do two more things - determine the direction and distance, and imagine the surrounding environment of the place he needed to go.

As long as you know where you want to go and grasp the direction and distance...

Schelling appeared in front of the magic wall at the entrance of the German Ministry of Magic. There was a Muggle-Repelling Charm here, so there was no risk of being discovered by Muggles. Schelling secretly calculated in his heart that this was probably more than 380 miles, which could not be worse than Harry's first Apparition.

Unfortunately, Hohenheim Manor was set up with many defensive magics, including an anti-Apparition spell, otherwise Eleanor could have been given a surprise.

Soon, Schelling returned to the original place - the Apparition Testing Center of the Danish Ministry of Magic, in the smallest circle drawn by Schelling in the classroom. He looked at his pocket watch, and only six seconds had passed. According to the records in wizard history documents, the fastest person in history to Apparite across 300 miles took one and a half minutes, so he had broken the world record.

(Note: People like Dumbledore and Voldemort who don't follow the Ministry of Magic's rules will not participate in the Ministry's research records, so Schelling may not be the fastest Apparitioner. I would like to clarify this.)
He secretly examined his physical condition and seemed to have fully adapted to long-distance Apparition.

Now, Xie Ling has both the right to travel internationally and the right to Apparate, so there is no place in the world that he cannot go!
……

Danish Ministry of Magic, Department of Magical Transportation, Apparition Office.

Professor Jackson reported Shaylin Malfoy's learning results to his superior, the Director of the Department of Magical Transportation, Alstrom, with a gloomy face, and put forward his opinion - he did not think it was a good thing for this boy to master Apparition in one go, and even suggested that this boy corresponded to the reincarnation of the devil in Danish legend.

Alsteron's face was hidden in the shadows, and no expression could be seen. Only a deep voice was heard, "Jackson, when Mr. Malfoy performed Apparition, besides the accuracy and speed you described, was there anything else worth noting?"

Jackson was speechless. He was so shocked by Xie Ling's extraordinary performance that he didn't pay much attention to other details, such as whether Xie Ling's spell-casting method was different from that of ordinary people. "No, no, I don't think there is anything special..."

He continued cautiously, "Director, what specific details do you want to know?"

Alstrom's impatient voice rang out clearly: "I mean, what kind of sound did he make when he Apparated? Was it a crackling sound, a popping sound, or was it mixed with other noises?"

Jackson calmed down, and he carefully recalled the details of his lesson to Schelling. After a while, his face turned very pale, as if Voldemort and Grindelwald suddenly appeared in front of him. He stammered, "Director, I, I don't think I heard any sound. He didn't make any sound when he Apparated..." (End of this chapter)
