Chapter 510 Little Researcher

Every profession has its specialties. In the field of research, it is a taboo for an outsider to lead the insiders. If you want to produce practical results, you must let the most professional people lead the research team.

Since the Boiling Curse is a type of dark magic, the team leader must be extremely proficient in it.

In this office, the person who has the deepest knowledge of black magic is not Sebastian, but Mia, who is a therapist.

Therefore, Sebastian did not take the position of research team leader. Instead, he was very self-aware and asked Mia to be the team leader.

"Mia, as the team leader, where should we start?"

Mia smiled at Sebastian and did not directly answer the question, but looked at Malfoy.

As a visiting professor at St. Mungo's training class, Mia has met all kinds of students, and Draco Malfoy is undoubtedly the most outstanding one among them.

Malfoy has an innate intuition that allows him to quickly understand the principles of complex healing spells and perform them with extraordinary precision and efficiency.

In addition to his talent, Draco's love for this profession also deeply touched Mia. In class, he was always focused and devoted, taking notes meticulously, and showing rare patience and perseverance during experiments.

Whether he was practicing healing spells or analyzing the complex causes of illness, he always did his best.

After class, he often took the initiative to ask Mia for advice, and even spent a lot of time reading additional literature to expand his knowledge base.

Mia soon realized that Draco did not choose this path because of external expectations or family arrangements, but because he truly liked it and was willing to pay for it.

However, there was one aspect that puzzled Mia, that was that Malfoy seemed to be carrying some unspeakable pressure, which made him always seem to have the illusion that he did not have enough time, and he was always eager to learn all the knowledge related to therapists.

Originally, Mia thought that the pressure was brought to the child by a mysterious man, but her intuition told her that the truth was not that simple.

Anyway, no matter what, she saw in Malfoy a potential therapist.

More importantly, after learning the basic treatment knowledge, Malfoy began to focus more on the research and treatment of black magic. This characteristic made Mia see herself as a student.

Therefore, she wanted to guide and train this student with all her strength and try her best to tap Malfoy's talents.

"Draco," Mia asked softly, "If you were to take the lead, where do you think we should start?"

Seeing Mia's reaction, Sebastian knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and looked at Malfoy with encouragement.

For a moment, Malfoy was somewhat touched. He could feel that the Swanns wanted to train him.

However, although he was touched, he was still a little at a loss.

Compared with the two people in front of him, he was just a little student. Asking him to lead the topic felt a bit like showing off one's proficiency in front of an expert.

However, under the encouraging gazes of the two, he still mustered up the courage to speak.

"I think the key lies in the Boiling Curse itself. After all, it is dark magic. If it is used on the Squibs rashly, they will only die in agony."

"So, the first step should be to analyze the magical principles of the Boiling Demon Curse and study its specific mechanism for accelerating the circulation of magic power, including the composition of the spell, the frequency of magic power fluctuations, and the impact on the magic power structure of the cursed object. Then, find a way to transform this spell and make it controllable."

Malfoy spoke more fluently and began to speak out the thoughts in his mind.

"In the process of modifying the spell, we need to keep experimenting to know the results. Of course, we can't rashly use squibs for experiments. Instead, we should start with some magical creatures with magical powers."

After thinking about the wide variety of magical creatures, he continued, "As for magical creatures, we can choose Flobberworm and Horkrup, two X-level creatures."

"No," Malfoy quickly corrected himself, "We can choose XX-level creatures such as ghouls and goblins. Their body structures are more similar to humans, and the effect of using them for experiments should be more obvious."

"After the experiment begins, we will monitor the impact of the improved spell on the test subjects in real time, recording the stability of their magic flow, the degree of boiling, and any adverse effects."

"In this process, we continue to optimize the composition of the Boiling Curse step by step to reduce the potential damage and control the boiling effect within an appropriate range."

"After safety and stability are confirmed, we will recruit volunteers to conduct the most critical human experiments."

Good boy, very good. The experimental steps are very clear. It seems that you have worked hard in private. You are indeed a good candidate to become a therapist and researcher.

Sebastian nodded and gave Malfoy a thumbs up.

This time, Malfoy's expression became embarrassed again: "These are just my theories, and they are too vague. They are of no help in improving the Boiling Curse."

"Don't underestimate yourself, Draco, you've done very well," Mia said softly, "clear experimental procedures are the beginning of success."

"Also, if you have any improvement plans, you can speak up boldly. It doesn't matter if they are just wild guesses."

"This..." Malfoy thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "This curse has a counter-curse that can be used for treatment. Perhaps we can start with the counter-curse?"

"Or, when casting a curse, we can reduce our malice and thus reduce the effect of the curse."

Encouraged by Mia and the others, Malfoy kept talking about his guesses, some of which he even felt were far-fetched. However, Mia and the others did not say much, but listened to his thoughts patiently.

Sebastian even took out a shorthand quill and helped Malfoy write down all his thoughts.

After Malfoy stopped, Mia first helped Malfoy eliminate several wrong options from a professional perspective. As the team leader, she had to control the experiment.

Then she patiently explained the reason to Malfoy, and after Malfoy understood it, she said with a smile.

"What are you waiting for? Let's start analyzing the basic model of the boiling spell."

Because the research direction chosen was very accurate, the team made unexpected progress in the initial exploration phase.

From the disassembly of the spell structure to the analysis of the flow characteristics of magic power, all experimental links are progressing in an orderly manner.

As the backbone of the team, Mia and Sebastian used their profound professional qualities and accurate judgment to effectively solve the complex problems encountered in the research and ensure that the project always moves forward on the right track.

Of course, in this process, many goblins "bravely" sacrificed their lives for the great magic experiment.

Three months passed in a flash. Thanks to the selfless dedication of the goblins and the joint efforts of Sebastian and the other two, the initial improvement work on the Boiling Demon Curse has been completed.

The spell's effect was recalibrated into a gentle mana-activating spell that effectively promotes the flow of mana without causing overstimulation.

The research team put together a complete set of experimental protocols, covering the optimal intensity and frequency of spell casting and the accompanying potions for body conditioning.

The next key step is to find suitable dud individuals for clinical trials to verify the practical feasibility of the theory.
