Chapter 7 Insufficient Holiday Balance

Ada was not aware of the conversation in the principal's office, nor did she know that McGonagall was just cooperating with her performance, nor did she know that the spotted cat she had fed was the stern-looking Professor McGonagall.

Feeling that she had performed well, Ada felt a little complacent. She lay comfortably on her bed and fell into a beautiful dream. In her dream, she punched the savior and stepped on Voldemort. It was so powerful and domineering!

The early morning sunshine filled the whole house, and Ada had already gotten up. She took her toiletries and went to wash up. She first tidied up her appearance, and then changed into clothes. It was still a combination of shirt and jeans. Ada's footsteps Walk briskly to the restaurant.

The breakfast in the orphanage is not rich, just bread and jam, a simple meal. Every time at this time, Ada would miss the past very much: soy milk, fried dough sticks, xiaolongbao and other sumptuous breakfasts...

Ada ate her own breakfast in small bites. It is said that chewing more can increase satiety and help lose weight. Ada wasn't trying to lose weight, she simply didn't like it and couldn't swallow it, so she only ate to eliminate her hunger.

The other children at the table sat far away from Ada. They were afraid of Ada, afraid of being beaten and afraid of her legendary abilities. Children here become sensible earlier and are more realistic. They know very well what can and cannot be done; who can and cannot be messed with.

After eating, Ada went directly back to her room, locked the door, opened the window, and waited to receive the express delivery. The things she bought in Diagon Alley yesterday will be delivered by an owl today. Ada finally understood why so many people liked online shopping in her previous life. Although you know what you have bought, the hardship of waiting for the express delivery and the excitement when receiving the express delivery are so hard to let go.

Fortunately, the suffering did not last long, and the diligent owls delivered the items one after another. Not to mention how Ada felt after receiving the express delivery, the children in the yard were not in a good mood. The owls coming in and out frightened them. In their opinion, Ada is indeed a monster, actually playing with the owl.

When Ada was unpacking the express delivery, the system appeared again.

【Ding! New subjects have been unlocked, please check back in time! 】

Ada opens the system:

Subject: Charms (current progress is 0, the host needs a stick more than a wand)

Metamorphology (the current progress is 0, the host is more suitable to be transformed than to be transformed)

Potions (the current progress is 0, the host needs to get up and drink the potion!)

History of Magic (The current progress is 0, I will give you a pen during the exam, and you can make history!)

Magical Zoology (the current progress is 0, the host’s understanding of magical animals is as shallow as a blank piece of paper)

Herbalism (current progress is 0, planting a lazy host, hoping to harvest a hard-working host next year)

Black magic and defense (the current progress is 0, black and white are not acceptable, why, there is no color you like?)

Ada looked at the system reviews silently. Although they had only been together for two short days, Ada was already used to it, so she took it as a spur to herself.

She looked at this so-called progress and planned to test it.

First, she took out "Standard Spells" and read it, and then Ada found that the progress bar had increased. Although it was small, it had indeed increased. It's just that this progress bar is a bit confusing. The progress bar will increase as you read and learn, but you can't see any numbers or percentage prompts. You can only visually inspect it but not accurately quantify it.

The spell Ada just read also appears in the system. There is a [Learned] prompt after the spell name, and there is also an additional progress bar to indicate proficiency. This means that Ada can learn a spell quickly, but mastering it requires more practice.

Ada looked at other textbooks separately, and the results were similar to Charms. In Ada's view, the progress of subjects should be more towards theoretical knowledge, which can be improved through reading and thinking; while proficiency should be towards practical operations, such as casting spells and brewing potions. , grow or take care of magical plants and the like.

"What a pity..." Ada took the wand on the bed in her hand and sighed at the wand. There is no place for a hero!

Professor McGonagall had told Ada that she was not allowed to use magic outside of school, which was prohibited by both the Ministry of Magic and the school. Ada has not systematically studied magic, so trying to cast spells privately is very dangerous, and it can easily expose the wizarding world and cause unnecessary trouble.

In order to prevent underage wizards from casting spells outside of school, the Ministry of Magic first established the "Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act", and then set up "tracking wires" to monitor whether young wizards violated the rules outside of school.

It may be because "Tracing Silk" is only used for young wizards, so its function is not perfect. It can only monitor magic fluctuations within a certain range, but cannot identify the specific caster.

For Muggle-born wizards like Ada, the role of "traces" is obvious, because once such a family detects the casting of magic, it is naturally the cause of the little wizard himself.

For children from wizarding families, the "tracing silk" has completely lost its intended role. The life of a wizard family is full of all kinds of magic. "Traces" that can only be monitored but not distinguished lose their meaning of existence. Therefore, such little wizards are usually restrained by their parents.

Ada seems to have no other choice but to read the book honestly. She can only further evaluate the system - her hands-on ability is extremely poor!

【Ding! Warm reminder from the system: The host has not officially entered school yet, so there is no trace around him yet. The system can help the host temporarily shield any magic fluctuations around him, and it will not affect the host's normal practice of magic. But please note, please try not to cast spells in front of Muggles to prevent any uncontrollable situations! 】

That’s great! There is true love everywhere in the world!

You can now perform some simple spell exercises on your own! It’s no longer just talk without practice.

"Flashing fluorescent light!" Ada muttered the spell in a low voice, and the tip of the wand emitted a ball of light. "Successful!" Ada terminated the fluorescent spell and cast it again. This time she used more magic, and the light at the tip of the staff became brighter.

Ada put down her wand and looked at the system again. Sure enough, the proficiency of the [Fluorescence Curse] spell in the system had been improved, a lot. Probably because the fluorescent spell is a simple spell, and it is also a spell commonly used in daily life, so the improvement will be larger.

Of course, this is just Ada's own idea, and this speculation needs to be confirmed by a large number of samples later.

As the proficiency of fluorescent spells increases, the progress of [Charms] in the system has also been partially improved. Sure enough, if you want to make progress, you still need to develop morally, intellectually, physically, and aesthetically. You must grasp both theory and practice, and you must be strong with both hands.

After that, Ada cast the fluorescent spell a few more times. After it was significantly improved, she began to try other spells. Ada discovered that some spell progress bars would increase more, while others would increase less, which was not fixed.

Now Ada's fluorescent spell was playing very smoothly, just like a small sun on the tip of the wand. At this time, the figure of a great magician suddenly appeared in Ada's mind.

So should a wizard cast a lighting spell and fight in close combat with a sword in hand? Write as a wizard, read as a mad warrior, and be a weak woman with double A in strength and speed?

Wait, where should I buy the big sword? Would Gryffindor's sword work? Waiting online, it's quite urgent...

Although Ada has no memory of "Harry Potter", even if you have never eaten pork, you must have seen pigs running. Ada still knows what a wizard should look like.

As a long-range profession, if a good master has improper forts and goes to fight with people in close combat, the end will be terrible. Isn't this a long life?

The reborn Ada didn't want to die, let alone fall on the way to charge, so she still wanted to be a long-range player, Avada would open the way, and be a master holding a "Gatling" with green fire in her hand.

Ada’s small desk is completely covered with textbooks for this school year. Ada feels that she doesn’t have to do anything else except reading and practicing until school starts. After all, not only was her holiday balance insufficient, but there was no way to recharge, so she didn't have much time left.

Ada initially set a goal for herself: to preview all the first-grade textbooks at least once and keep the knowledge points in mind. This is not an easy thing to do, but it will not deter Ada because she is not a person who gives up easily.

Ada in her previous life never gave up even when she was lying on a cold hospital bed, let alone now?

All efforts are to get rid of hardship and live better; all efforts are to live better in a dangerous future.
