Chapter 31 Mike’s Plan

The next day, when Mike opened his eyes, what he saw was the photo of himself and his family in the Mirror of Erised. He slept in this abandoned classroom last night.

After a night of thinking, he had already guessed that last night's experience was probably planned, from the moment he came out of the Requirement Room to the time when his usual secret passage suddenly led to this abandoned classroom. There was only one person capable of doing this, and that was Dumbledore.

Mike could roughly guess why Dumbledore did this, it was just to test his own character.

Mike had sensed Dumbledore's dissatisfaction with him from the first time they met. The fact that this test had not come until now was somewhat beyond Mike's expectation. He originally thought that Dumbledore would talk to him soon after he enrolled. of.

However, Dumbledore did not show up last night, so it seemed that he had passed the test.

Mike walked out of the classroom facing the dazzling sunshine outside the classroom. After what happened last night, he already understood what he wanted most, he wanted to go home!

In the next few days, Mike worked harder to learn magic. If he wanted to go home, he must have strong strength.

After the battle with the giant monster, Mike also had a clearer understanding of his own combat effectiveness. In terms of combat power alone, he is probably on par with 6th and 7th grade students, but in terms of the amount of magic he has mastered and his understanding of magic, Mike is even inferior to 3rd and 4th grade students.

What I want to mention here is that the teaching model of Hogwarts is rather strange. The first and second grade wizards are almost left alone, and what they learn are some of the most basic things in the wizarding world. But this is understandable, after all, it is to take care of the little wizard who is Muggle born.

Starting from the third grade when you can choose elective courses, Hogwarts begins to truly provide magic education to young wizards. It can be said that this is the first crossroads in the lives of little wizards. The elective courses you choose will have a great impact on your future. At the same time, starting from the third grade, students' learning pressure also begins to increase.

From the third grade to the end of the fourth grade, the learning pressure will become more and more intense every year in these two years, because at the end of the fourth grade they will face the first wizard level exam, the exam.

After the exam, students have to choose courses based on their scores. The exam is like the college entrance examination, and the courses that can be chosen after the exam are like university courses.

Many courses have their own cutoffs, and the cutoffs for popular subjects like potions and spells will be very high, but if you study these courses, it will be of great help to your future employment and your strength. .

Students who do extremely poorly in the exams can only choose some low-demand courses like Muggle Studies to study, but after graduation they will face the problem that graduation equals unemployment, unless your family has a mine.

Starting from the fifth grade, students at Hogwarts are divided into two groups, one is students who take difficult courses like potions, and the other is those who take rubbish courses.

The former has endless homework and endless books to read every day. Although the latter is more strenuous than the first and second graders, it is not even as hard as the third or fourth graders. It can be said to be very relaxed.

The last step is the exam. This is the highest academic certificate that Hogwarts can give, and it is also the most valuable academic certificate in Europe for hundreds of years. Whether you are getting a job or getting married after graduation, people will use your grades and the subjects you studied as criteria. If your grades are good enough, even if you are a Muggle wizard, you can live a very good life in the wizarding world.

But in contrast, the learning pressure for sixth- and seventh-grade graduates is unimaginable. In the original book, Hermione used the time turner to take all the elective courses in the third grade, resulting in a lack of energy, but this kind of study intensity can be said to be the norm for sixth and seventh grade students.

Therefore, almost all the senior wizards you see on the Hogwarts campus look like they are in a hurry, and they rarely participate in recreational activities such as Quidditch matches. Not because they don't like entertainment, but because they are too busy.

But fortunately, hard study has brought about rapid growth in strength. The level and number of spells mastered by sixth- and seventh-grade students are no less than those of most adult wizards, so Mike's combat effectiveness is really strong at this time. .

You must know that Mike still has conventional attack spells such as armor protection and except for you. The reason why his combat effectiveness is so high is largely due to his combat experience in his previous life.

Attacking with a wand is like shooting with a pistol, requiring very high accuracy. The low combat effectiveness of many wizards is because their shooting range is too short, and they cannot hit you if you are far away from them. However, Mike was a sharpshooter in his previous life, and shooting was as easy as drinking water for him.

Moreover, Mike is also blessed with emotional spell-casting skills and magic control skills. The magic he emits far exceeds that of wizards with the same magic level as him.

Currently, what Mike has to do besides learning new magic is to improve his magic perception and magic control. The higher Mike's magic control ability, the stronger his magic.

However, many magics are too difficult to learn just by reading books. This is not because Mike has no talent, but because the teaching materials in the wizarding world are really cheating. You can’t learn the above magics just by reading the teaching materials. You must combine them with other people’s teachings. become. Only those personal notes of others have real learning value.

Mike also asked Professor Flitwick for advice, but when Professor Flitwick saw that all Mike asked him for advice were high-level magic spells, he advised him not to aim too high and just master the magic spells he learned now. Mike had strong suspicions. It was Dumbledore who gave the little old man the hint.

Thinking of this, Mike couldn't help but grit his teeth. Dumbledore, this old bee, is very bad!

But Mike is not completely helpless. There must be a place where there are detailed casting methods for those advanced spells, and even the method of releasing the Unforgivable Curse. That is the Forbidden Book Zone.

The reason why he asked Penello to help him get the Disillusionment Curse was to enter the Restricted Book Zone. Dumbledore would leave Hogwarts during the first-year final exam, and that was Mike's best chance to enter the Restricted Book Zone. .

As for the banned Mike in the restricted book area, he also has his own solution.

Since the last battle with the troll, Mike felt that his magic perception ability had soared a lot, and now Mike could vaguely sense the magic power outside his body.

After discovering this, Mike immediately went to the library, and sure enough, Mike sensed the existence of magic in front of the entrance to the restricted book area. It was magic power that stretched across the wall like infrared rays. Although these threads were intertwined to form a network, it was not impossible for Mike to enter.

Now it depends on whether Penello can get the Disappearance Charm. If Penelo can't get it before Christmas, Mike may not have time to learn this complicated spell. Then he would risk asking Harry to borrow the invisibility cloak.
