Chapter 14

Ye Ting was not bored reading alone, but soon the girls' conversation turned to him.

They talked about the spell he had just cast and how to take out his wand.

Hermione, who likes to get to the bottom of things the most, asked him the question first

"What spell did you just use? she asked,"and immediately knocked the red-haired guy's wand away.""

"That's a disarming spell."Ye Ting replied casually:"This is the most commonly used magic in wizard duels. The spell is 'Expelliarmus'’"

"I know this!"Marietta rushed to say:"I remember that this spell was mentioned in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but the teacher said that we will not learn this spell until we are in a higher grade."

"You can actually use such a complicated spell! How did you do it?"Ye Ting, who is also a Muggle, can use such a spell. This is obviously a blow to Hermione, so she can't wait to ask him for the secret.

"actually——"Ye Ting explained:"This spell is not complicated. Rather, among all the spells that can be used for direct confrontation, the 'Disarming Curse' is the simplest. Although this spell does not have a very powerful killing effect, it is also It is easily blocked by various counterspells, but it has an advantage that other spells cannot match."

"What are the advantages?"Hermione asked impatiently.

"It is the spell with the shortest syllables among duel spells and can be used the fastest. Using this spell can often give you an upper hand in magic duels."

Hearing this explanation, Zhang Qiu and Marietta both nodded in enlightenment and admired Ye Ting's rich knowledge.

However, Hermione was a little unconvinced. She questioned:"I have never been in the book. See this conclusion——‘The Disarming Charm is the shortest spell - which book did you read it in? I haven't seen anyone mention the issue of different spells and pronunciation lengths in any spell book."

"This is my own conclusion. I came to this conclusion after comparing several relatively simple spells commonly used in duels such as stun spells, obstacle spells, body binding spells, and dance move spells."Ye Ting replied

"However, since it is not mentioned in the book, how can you guarantee that this is the correct conclusion? You know, these books were written by the greatest wizards, and they didn't even say that. Why do you think you are right?"

You are really a proud child. You are not willing to admit defeat at any time, so let me teach you to be good."

Ye Ting thought like this and criticized Hermione in a serious tone.

"Miss Hermione Granger, you must have stopped studying Muggle science since you were admitted to Hogwarts, right?"

"No...that's right, but what does this have to do with Muggle science?"Hermione asked with a blush.

"The relationship is huge. Although Muggle science is not as convenient and magical as magic, it is very worth learning in terms of logic and methods of researching problems. Even when studying magic, it can still be used as a reference

"For example, to study the length of time for chanting a spell, I only need to maintain my magic power and energy, use the same loud voice and the same speaking speed to cast different spells clearly and completely, and then record them separately. Time, so that the length of the spell can be roughly compared - this is the controlled variable method in science."Ye Ting explained seriously.

"at last——"He concluded:"The spirit of science tells us that only through practice can we arrive at the truth. It is not advisable to blindly believe in authority. Even the theory of Newton, a great man in the scientific community, has been proven to be not the truth in many aspects in the contemporary era. Limitations. So, why do you think that the wizards who wrote these magic textbooks are completely correct? After all, magic is not as rigorous as science.

"If the words of these predecessors are completely correct, then how was the new curse created? After all, these curses were not mentioned in previous books. If you continue to reason according to your thoughts, the entire wizarding world will never progress again."

This explanation confused Marietta, who was born in a wizarding family - in fact, many wizards have poor logical abilities - but Hermione Granger, who was born in a Muggle family, and who has been with Muggles for a long time The Zhang Qiu of the world could barely understand what Ye Ting was saying.

"This is the first time I have heard of such an idea. Zhang Qiu looked at her compatriots with admiration:"You are really a genius in using scientific methods to study magic.""

Hermione burst into tears when he said it.

She had always been smart and unconvinced by Ye Ting, but Ye Ting's theory was so reasonable that she couldn't refute it, which put her in an awkward position: She wanted to refute but was speechless. She was speechless and wanted to apologize but couldn't help but feel ashamed.

In the end, she chose to apologize.

"Yeah...I'm sorry. She whispered:"I admit that I was wrong. Please forgive me."……"

But before she finished speaking, she ran out crying.
