Chapter 10
Level 6 master level, coming out with your own style, in other words, reaching the pinnacle.
Level 7 Grandmaster is completely unconventional and returns to his original nature. Even a short pencil can explode with the lethality of a dagger.
John, who has reached level 7 in short weapon proficiency, can be called a master. He can stab three flies down in one second with a pencil.
The two weapon proficiency skills disappeared. John did not feel that the technology was forgotten. On the contrary, his application of weapons became more profound.
Great Sword Mastery should be a combination of two branches of weapons, so it doesn't feel unfamiliar.
But he still couldn't help complaining, "I'm a wizard and it's useless for you to give me this."
Currently, for John, blessing is first, magic is second, spell is third, and weapon proficiency is fourth.
After practicing the Transfiguration Spell for a while, John went to class.
After turning on the blessing of Xueba, he can always absorb knowledge quickly.
After observing the layout again in the library with Hermione, he would start his own plan at night.
…
The fifth floor corridor of Hogwarts at night.
The portrait paintings on the wall are sleepy, and the medieval armor without weapons has a stick as a weapon from somewhere.
"Lumos"
"Hey."
"Turn out the damn light."
"Oh woohoo."
The sudden light made the oil painters scream in dissatisfaction.
John walked through the corridor and came to the fifth floor library.
The library closes at eight o'clock in the evening, and now no one but night owls will show up.
Thousands of books are gathered into thousands of bookshelves, and hundreds of narrow passages make this place a sea of books.
Deep inside is the Restricted Book Zone, John's destination for this trip.
Turning off the light on the wand, John came to the door of the forbidden book area.
A simple door bolt is like a decoration, it only plays a role in guarding against gentlemen and villains.
Unfortunately, Mr. John Wick is going to be a villain today.
Snap.
With a gentle pull, the door to the forbidden book area opened easily.
John needs to be very careful. He doesn't have Harry's invisibility cloak, so he can only be careful.
Fortunately, his daily exercise played a big role. He stepped into the restricted book area without making a sound, and saw many sealed books.
It's not that these banned books cannot be studied, but they are sealed in the forbidden book area because they are too dangerous.
There are also some black magic books that are not suitable for students to study.
But it is not impossible to obtain restricted books through formal methods.
If you can get a note from the professor, you can enter the restricted book area and borrow it.
John thought about the dean who could kill a fly between his eyebrows every time he saw him, and he felt that it was more reliable to do it himself.
After confirming that no one was around, John lit up his wand.
He looked around in the forbidden book section for the one he wanted.
He came here to find the book with the Disillusionment Curse.
But it still takes some time in this ocean of books.
"Powerful potion?"
Seeing a book, John pulled it out curiously and looked at it.
This is a book about potions, containing many kinds of potions.
Among them are truth serum and compound potions.
After looking at it twice, John put the book back.
Although it is amazing that the compound potion can transform into another person, it is a bit queasy to take the hair from other people and put it in it.
Continuing his search, he saw a black and silver book.
After touching it, John thought for a while but still didn't open it.
There may be some dark magic curses in these books, so it’s better to look for what you want.
After a round of searching, he finally found the record of the Disguise Curse.
After going through "Advanced Black Magic Revealed", he found "Advanced Charms", which not only contained the Disguise Charm, but also advanced spells such as Apparition.
Closing the book, John prepared to leave.
When he was about to leave the restricted book area, he stopped.
He turned to look at the strange book, still out of curiosity.
So he tentatively took out the book and opened it with curiosity...
"ah--!!"
John covered his ears and hurriedly closed the book, but it was already too late.
The sound from here alerted Filch.
Filch, who was patrolling outside to catch the little wizard, ran away and ran quickly towards the library.
He is obviously a squib, but he has a strong body that has been cultivated for many years.
"I found you!"
Filch held the night light and sniffed like a hound with his hooked nose.
A cat's meow came from the bookshelf in the distance, and Filch showed excitement on his face.
He and Mrs. Norris had a telepathic connection and ran towards the bookshelf.
Filch left the library door with his front foot, and John walked out from the bookshelf on the other side and left grandly.
When leaving, he gave a thumbs up to Mrs. Norris, who was elegantly licking her hair on the bookshelf.
As expected, not a single piece of cat food is wasted. The coordination of this gesture is really perfect.
…
After returning to the dormitory, John couldn't wait to start practicing.
So when I woke up the next day, my eyes looked like pandas.
After practicing for three days, he finally saw the pattern of the first level of the Disguise Curse.
Hard work will eventually pay off.
The next day, John saw six long-eared owls carrying slender packages flying towards Harry Potter in the Great Hall, and by the way, Harry's uneaten bacon came into close contact with the floor.
Ding, Minerva McGonagall doesn't want to talk to you, and threw a handful of Nimbus 2000 at you.
Mr. Savior is about to start his Quidditch campaign.
At the same time, Nimbus 2000 also arrived with a letter from the older cat girl, asking him to go to Quidditch training class.
Although Harry didn't quite understand it, he had an almost instinctive talent for flying.
Unable to hide his joy, he shared the letter with Ron.
Ron was envious because the best broomstick he had ever touched was the one used by his brother Charlie Weasley during his Quidditch days.
That one is garbage compared to this one.
Harry and Ron hurriedly left the Great Hall, ready to unpack the package before first period.
Love is found around the corner.
The Savior meets the evil Slytherin.
Malfoy, the overlord, was teasing or provoking his lifelong enemy as always.
John ate his bacon pie and looked at it casually.
Compared with the feud between Slytherin and Gryffindor, he was more concerned about the hard texture of the bacon patties. He suspected that there were uncooked stones in them.
"Okay, how long are you going to keep fighting with them?"
Regretfully putting down the bacon pie, opposite John was Hermione who had already peeked at Harry and the others three times.
"Don't even think about it unless they apologize to me," Hermione said angrily.
"It will probably take a while." John felt that both Harry and Ron had probably forgotten about Hermione.
Neville was struggling with his red memory ball again, and John had to remind him that it was best to change into a pair of pants for Charms class, after all, this was not a slumber party.
…
Chapter 12 Twins and Quidditch
John received extra points from Professor Flitwick in class, successfully reversing some of the decline in Slytherin's bottom funnel.
After the day's lessons, John moved around the castle.
Every time he passed by a huge tapestry, he would walk back and forth three times, silently thinking that he needed a training room.
Such behavior is strange, but it should be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter novels.
Yes, he was looking for the Room of Requirement.
Like he said before, he doesn't remember much.
He remembered that the entrance to the Room of Requirement was opposite a huge tapestry, but he couldn't remember exactly what the place and the tapestry looked like.
Fortunately, there are not many huge tapestries in Hogwarts. After passing the tapestry on the eighth floor where a troll beat silly Barnabas for the third time, a wooden door appeared opposite the tapestry.
John opened the door and went in. Inside was a field used for training magic spells.
A human-shaped target looked a bit old, and John frowned when he walked in.
There was so much dust inside, it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in decades.
“Scourgify”
After using the newly learned magic spell to clean up the dust in the room, John finally relaxed his brows.
The old humanoid target is still very strong, and there is a dark-colored wooden training sword in the corner.
Judging from the size, his owner must be very strong.
John weighed it in his hands. It was very heavy, heavier than the sword of medieval armor.
With John's current strength, he couldn't swing it.
But he can do magic training here in the future.
All the equipment inside can also be used for exercise, which is really a multi-purpose exercise.
There are no offensive spells yet, and John is only able to do some simple training.
With his unremitting efforts to level up, the Disguise Curse was upgraded to level 2.
"Disillusionment"
The wand was waved, and a layer of liquid-like substance fell on the body and gradually enveloped the whole body.
He raised his hand and looked at it, as if it had become like a ball of water.
If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that anyone is here. If you are close enough, you can still see that it is slightly different from the surroundings.
"It's like optical camouflage."
Using his knowledge to explain this phenomenon, John nodded with satisfaction.
