Chapter 62 Discussion on Black Magic

What is black magic? Ryan started his topic with the most basic question.

Destructive and evil magic is called black magic, Hermione replied after thinking for a while.

This is the original sentence written in the Defence Against the Dark Arts textbook. As expected of our know-it-all, all textbooks can be memorized. Ryan praised Hermione with a slightly mocking tone. Then he said: Actually, the core criterion for true identification of black magic is evil rather than destructive. For example, fire spells can create fire for us, but they can also create deadly and destructive fires. But we The Fire Charm cannot be considered evil.

Yes, so I think the core criterion of black magic is evil, a kind of malice towards the object of casting spells. That's why I oppose you learning this, I don't want the classmates I know to become an evil dark wizard. . Hermione replied.

But the problem is that the definition of evil magic is that as long as the release of magic has negative emotions on the target, then the magic is evil. It is undeniable that this kind of magic with negative emotions is often more lethal. .And as the negative emotions increase, the power of the spell also increases.

What are you trying to say? Hermione was confused.

I just think that as long as negative emotions within a certain range should be allowed, it doesn't mean evil. Lane said as he turned to the bookmarked page of the third-grade black magic textbook and pointed to one of the spells. : Look, this magic requires an aversion to the target before a force field can be created from your wand that bounces the target away.

Disgust is a negative emotion, but I don't think it's evil. Compared to the power that these magics can show, this little bit of negativity shouldn't be a problem.

After listening to Ryan's explanation, Hermione took a textbook and flipped through it. Afterwards, he said: It can indeed be regarded as one of the top three schools in the European magic world, and the textbooks used do not contain those too cruel magics, and I also believe that even the professors at Hogwarts are more or less aware of this. similar spells, but these are learned to defend against them.(Note 1)

I am concerned that at our age and minds we are likely to be led astray by power, which is why I think Hogwarts only allows senior Defence Against the Dark Arts students to view certain and black Books about magic. I think that in the upper grades, we can naturally study related knowledge under the guidance of teachers, but it should also be for the purpose of resisting them.

So what do you think should be done with this knowledge? I just want to learn some powerful magic to protect myself and my friends. After all, the feeling of being powerless in the face of evil like last year is really bad, Ryan said.

I believe that the power to resist black magic can only be learned through practice. It is not enough to know theoretical knowledge. We should practice some self-defense magic. But I don't think we should learn the content of these books, because it is black magic after all. .I don't think the situation is so bad that we need our unscrupulous improvement force, what happened last year was just some accident.

I will not object to you reading these books, since you have decided to learn the power to protect yourself, you can learn how to recognize them, deal with them, and learn some magics that can resist them by learning about these black magics. That's enough to fight against the forces of evil and protect yourself.

You know, it's not that other magic is necessarily less powerful than black magic. There is no need to cross that dangerous line to learn black magic. I think we should all read these books together to make sure no one takes a dangerous step. Hermione thought for a long time before pursing her lips and expressing her opinion to Ryan.

Ryan was a little surprised to hear Hermione's answer, because he found that Hermione was not only not persuaded by him, but tried to persuade him. It's just that Hermione's words also gave him a mental shock.

After a while of reflection, Ryan suddenly found that there was something wrong with his thinking.

Indeed, Ryan knows the plot, which is an advantage. But sometimes the plot limits the mind. He knew that a war was about to break out, so he sometimes seemed eager for quick success. However, he neglected that he owns the Myriad Realm grocery store, and has enough time and channels to obtain powerful power. There is no need to use some methods that may cause troubles to improve his power so impatiently.

As a person whose mental age is over 30 years old, he still can't see a little girl clearly. It made him feel extremely ashamed.

Thank you, I almost went astray. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I swear I will never learn the black magic above. Ryan made a solemn promise after listening to Hermione's answer. .

In order to show his determination, Ryan handed over these black magic textbooks to Hermione for safekeeping. Hermione looked relieved. After that, the two discussed something else and then went home for lunch separately.

Ryan believed that Hermione was right, that black magic, which could cause serious and irreversible mental damage, was not worth taking such a big risk to learn. But the other magics he has mastered still need to be practiced. This is the same as swimming. No matter how solid the theoretical knowledge is, you will definitely not be able to master this skill without going into the water to swim.

Since you want to practice, you need to find a place that the Ministry of Magic cannot monitor. Ryan thought about it and thought that Plants vs. Zombies was a good place to practice because there were enough targets there. What's more, since I left last time, I haven't seen it for a long time, and Ryan wants to know how his house is being cleaned up.

Lane took advantage of his free time in the afternoon, went to the library to inquire and copied a lot of industrial materials related to daily life and prepared to bring them to Dave as gifts. After all, it was a zombie apocalypse world, although now humans are slowly getting stronger and rebuilding their homes. However, it is not so easy to restore many things, so Ryan plans to bring some information related to the daily chemical to help the people of that world rebuild a modern civilization.

During dinner in the evening, her mother, Ms. Sally, asked Lane: I have a question that I haven't asked. Why do I go to the library every morning to study after the summer vacation? I don't think the community library can have books related to magic.

Because I'm doing homework with a classmate, Mom, Ryan said as he ate his plate of pasta.

Classmate? Dentist Granger's daughter? You seem to have said that she was the first of your year at the end of last semester. Mr. Lambert also interrupted at this time.

Uh, yes. I didn't pass her exam last time at the end of the term. Ryan replied in a low voice.

So when you do homework with her, you have to learn from her strengths. In fact, we have been worried that you are a little arrogant because of your good grades in primary school, said her mother, Ms. Sally.

After that, the two taught Ryan about his attitude towards learning. Only then did Ryan realize that he might have been misled by some propaganda before. Who said that European and American parents don't pay attention to their children's learning, this thing is similar all over the world.

Note: In the last book, Professor McGonagall used the Imperius Curse to control a Death Eater, which was Unforgivable Curse-level black magic. It can be seen that at least the professors should know black magic. It's just that most of the professors learned incidentally for the purpose of researching and defending against them, except for the professors who were born as dark wizards like Snape.
