#512 - Exercise (asking for monthly ticket recommendation)

The surrounding crowd stared at the scene, their mouths involuntarily forming O shapes.

"Everyone can come inside. I'll explain the key points to watch out for when clearing each floor, and also, make sure to use 'slicing the pie' technique when passing through each area."

Anduin, paying no attention to the crowd's expressions, waved them inside and provided targeted explanations for each area on the first floor.

During his explanation, a wizard raised his hand and asked, "What exactly do you mean by 'slicing the pie'?"

After the previous meeting and the demonstration just now, this wizard's attitude towards Anduin had changed dramatically, so his question was phrased very respectfully.

"'Slicing the pie' is a standard tactical movement used in indoor or close-quarters combat. It involves using your wand in a ready position, moving while aiming and slowly changing the angle, gradually ensuring the safety of the space within your field of vision, such as rooms, windows, and corridors."

"In this operation, because it involves a large number of rooms, everyone must master this tactical movement. When one person is clearing, the other wizard is responsible for guarding their back, and must also always hold the [Silencing Amulet], keeping it ready to be activated."

"This is both to ensure that you can react immediately if a threat appears, and to prevent the other wizard from forgetting to activate the amulet when casting a spell," Anduin explained patiently to everyone.

Standard tactics? Why had they never heard of them? A group of German Aurors looked questioningly at the British Aurors beside them, but the British wizards also looked blank, as they had never heard of it either.

"Since you prepared these [Silencing Amulets], why didn't you make some more powerful items to silence the entire building from the start? That way, we wouldn't have to activate them every time we encounter an enemy," Moody asked, still puzzled, after hearing Anduin's instructions. He knew Anduin's capabilities; if he could silence a small area, he should be able to expand the coverage.

"Are you an idiot?" Before Anduin could answer, Andre rolled his eyes at Moody. "If you silence the entire building, what if some wizards who are still awake at night notice the sudden lack of sound and expose us?

"Correct," Anduin agreed, nodding. "For this [Silencing Amulet], I specifically adjusted the output power. The range of influence is only within the current room. In addition to eliminating sound, the [Silencing Amulet] can also eliminate some minor vibrations, so as long as you don't cause structural damage to the house, you can eliminate the noise of spellcasting inside the room."

Everyone nodded in understanding. In other words, if they activated this amulet in a single room, they wouldn't be discovered as long as they didn't break down the walls.

"When launching an attack on these wizard dormitories, we must ensure clear targets and high efficiency, so we must adhere to the principle of 'rapid maneuver' during the operation."

"That is, as long as we confirm that there is no one outside the room, we must reach the front of each guest room door in the shortest possible time."

With that, Anduin began to demonstrate again, speeding up his movements and ensuring sufficient efficiency when 'slicing the pie'.

When he moved to a corridor on the second floor, with four guest rooms distributed on both sides, Anduin stopped again. "After arriving in front of the room door, what I have to do is perform 'control through the wall'. This is when I need to use another item I prepared for everyone."

With that, Anduin took out a thin metal card and said, "This is a [Hypnosis Amulet]. Once activated, it will release enough hypnotic gas to cover a guest room in two seconds. Humans, including wizards, will fall asleep after inhaling this gas for 3 seconds."

"When you move to the outside of the room door, what you need to do is activate it and then insert it through the crack in the door. I specially flattened it for ease of operation, and the overall thickness is similar to a card."

"After inserting the cards into the four guest rooms, you can ignore this floor and go directly to the 3rd floor to repeat the same process."

"Is it that simple?" Andre curiously took the metal card from Anduin. "Besides making people fall asleep, will this hypnosis amulet have any side effects?"

Anduin smiled slightly. "Don't worry, this amulet is just a small item with an 'Undetectable Extension Charm' cast on it. Inside, it stores concentrated, vaporized 'Sleeping Draught'. The effect, besides making people lose consciousness for 12 hours, will not cause other damage to the body."

With that, he specifically scanned the people around him. "If anyone is interested, I can demonstrate it on the spot. I just don't know if anyone is willing to act as a guinea pig. Of course, I will immediately give you the antidote afterwards."

After hearing this, a group of wizards looked at each other. A German Auror and a British Auror stepped forward voluntarily. They were very curious about the practical effect of this equipment.

"Okay, please enter this room, lie on the bed, and pretend to be resting," Anduin said with a smile, opening the door in front of him and making a gesture of invitation.

The two Aurors exchanged glances, then walked into the room. There were exactly two wooden beds inside, and the two of them lay down straight, but even though they were pretending to rest, they still opened their eyes wide, obviously wanting to witness the effect of the amulet Anduin mentioned.

Anduin didn't care. After closing the door, he faced the rest of the crowd. "Okay, now I'll activate the amulet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Anduin input a little magic into the card in his hand. "Then, insert it into the door crack within two seconds."

With a swoosh, Anduin bent down and quickly pushed the card into the door. Then, in front of everyone, he counted down three numbers, "3...2...1, control complete!"

With that, he opened the door again. At this time, a strong, refreshing fragrance suddenly emanated from the room. Anduin shook the wand in his hand at will, and a stream of air wrapped up all the air in the room and took it away.

And the two people in the room were already fast asleep.

"This...the effect of this amulet is so obvious?" Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this. They had just seen the two people looking full of energy.

Andre, still not believing it, walked into the room and pushed the sleeping German Auror hard a few times, then found that the other party had completely passed out.

Anduin smiled slightly when he saw this. The hypnotic gas he had poured into the hypnosis amulet was concentrated. He had spent thousands of Galleons just brewing these potions, so the effect was of course good.

At the same time, the most difficult thing was not vaporizing the potion and making this card-style item, but how to prevent these concentrated gases from leaking during the process of pouring them into the alchemy card. This was Anduin's unique technology. He even made a special device to do this, so although the principle of the hypnosis amulet was simple, others simply couldn't make it.

"Don't worry, they can be woken up with a little antidote," Anduin quickly stepped forward to stop Andre, who was about to splash water on the Auror's face.

Then, he took out a vial from his pocket, took some out with a dropper, and dripped a few drops into each of their mouths. Only then did the two Aurors slowly regain consciousness.

"We...have we fallen asleep?" One of the Aurors, who had just woken up, shook his head before vaguely realizing what had just happened.

"That's right, exactly three seconds after Anduin released the [Hypnosis Amulet], you completely fell asleep. I even shook you for a long time without any reaction," Andre looked at the two Aurors. "Tell me about your previous feelings. Did you notice anything unusual?"

"Unusual?" The two Aurors looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison. "Don't mention anything unusual, we didn't even notice that we had fallen asleep."

Seeing that the effect of this hypnosis amulet was so powerful, the surrounding wizards began to whisper to each other, and Amelia couldn't help but exclaim, "That's really amazing. With this equipment, it will be much easier to deal with those wizards."

"Correct," Anduin nodded in agreement. "I've tried it before. From breaking down the door, clearing obstacles, to completing the release of the amulet to all the guest rooms, according to the standard procedure, it only takes 5 minutes to control a dormitory."

"What? Five minutes? Doesn't that mean anyone can do it?"

The surrounding crowd exclaimed in surprise after hearing Anduin's words.

"I said, this is a set of foolproof tactical movements that I developed, but even so, everyone must be familiar with the operating procedures. The most critical thing is to deal with unexpected situations, especially considering that there may be people who are not in the room after the lights are turned off."

"So from now on, everyone present will conduct live combat drills in this simulated dormitory until everyone is familiar with this set of tactical movements," Anduin said faintly after looking around.

"Live combat drills?" Andre nodded in realization after hearing this. "So that's it. So today's gathering is not to start the operation immediately, but to prepare for the operation before the action?"

"Correct," Anduin nodded with satisfaction. "Later, I will divide everyone into groups, and then conduct exercises in groups. At the same time, everyone's simulated live combat will also have a clearance exam. This will be the responsibility of Hogg. If the operating procedures do not meet the standards, you will have to keep practicing here until you are proficient."

Everyone heard that Anduin was going to conduct a clearance exam on them for tactics that even a fool could complete, and the examiner was that dog, and immediately felt strange.
