Chapter 99 Lockhart’s deep meaning

"Why are you doing this? It's just a paper. Are you still worried that you can't do it?" Hermione asked doubtfully.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Bell was far beyond Hermione's knowledge in terms of theoretical knowledge and actual spell casting.

Hermione really couldn't imagine that if Bell couldn't answer the questions on the paper, then who else could write the answers?

In that case, wouldn't the significance of the professor's test papers be lost?

The little witch believed that with Professor Lockhart's excellence, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing.

"Of course I'm not afraid of not being able to do it. But I really can't do it! And I'm not interested in doing it either. Just look at the content on that paper."

Bell would have to be crazy to study the questions on that paper. And Bell was afraid that Lockhart wouldn't be able to bear it.

If he really wanted Bell to do that paper, he was afraid that he would go crazy, and then Lockhart would probably not be able to leave this classroom.

Hermione lowered her head and read the paper in her hand.

Question 1: ‘What is Gilderoy Lockhart’s favorite color? ’; Question 2: ‘What is Gilderoy Lockhart’s secret ambition? ’

There are also similar questions about Professor Lockhart at the back. There are three pages of paper, with a total of 54 questions.

"..."

To be honest, even Hermione, who admired Professor Lockhart very much, had the urge to facepalm after seeing this paper.

"Okay, I admit that what you said does make some sense. However, since Professor Lockhart asked us to answer these questions, there must be a profound meaning that we cannot understand yet. Maybe?"

Hermione defended Lockhart with some lack of confidence.

"To hell with Mao's deep meaning. Hermione, if Lockhart really has any deep meaning, then please tell me later. In short, I will not waste my time doing this damn thing." This matter is non-negotiable!"

Sensing the determination in Bell's words, Hermione had no choice but to give up.

And Bell, who finally got rid of Hermione, also cast an ear-blocking spell on himself and immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.

What Bell is reading now is an alchemy book copied from Teacher Nico.

There is not much time left for Bell. He must seize the time to improve his alchemy level to ensure that his 'big plan' is completed on time.

This plan is very important to Bell. If anyone dares to make trouble, don't blame Bell for falling out!

…

‘It’s not difficult to add multiple magics to an object. Even if you are just starting out in alchemy, as long as the materials used are precious enough and the object is large enough, you can successfully add different types of magic to an object. However, this kind of magic item is just the lowest quality. Different magics can easily interfere with each other, causing the power of magic to be reduced and completely unattainable. ’

‘And for a qualified magic item, not only should different types of magic not interfere with each other, but should instead assist each other, so that the original magic can be several times, or even dozens of times, more powerful. ’

‘And to do this requires very advanced alchemical attainments. First of all, the wizard needs to fully understand the magic to be added. Secondly, the wizard needs to be familiar with the characteristics of various magic materials. ’

‘On the basis of achieving the above two points, wizards can truly enter the door of alchemy and make advanced magic props. ’

‘Depending on the nature of magic, different magic materials need to be used. But if you want different magics to help each other and exert greater power, when selecting magic materials, you must comprehensively consider the nature of the magic to be added. ’

‘For example, when a levitating spell and a launching spell are attached at the same time, considering the characteristics of both, the magical material with floating characteristics should not be used, but the magical material with flying characteristics should be used. Many people tend to confuse these two characteristics, but in fact they are...'

…

"BELL! BELL!!!"

Hermione grabbed Bell's arm and shook it vigorously, shouting Bell's name loudly while shaking it back.

Bell, who was concentrating on his studies, was called back to attention by Hermione.

After lifting the spell on himself, Bell looked at Hermione strangely.

Only then did he notice that the classroom was filled with the screams of the little wizards, and Lockhart had disappeared without a trace.

"Bell, you finally responded. Have you blocked your hearing again? How could you do this in Professor Lockhart's class!?"

"No, no, I was just too absorbed in reading."

Of course, Bell would not tell the little witch that she had no intention of listening to Lockhart's nonsense, so she blocked her hearing.

"Rather than that, I'd rather know what happened?"

Bell looked at the little wizards running around the classroom with question marks on his face, and the Cornish elves who didn't know when they appeared in the classroom.

So are they playing some fun game?

"It's Professor Lockhart, the one who unleashed these Cornish elves."

Hermione said quickly.

"And where is our venerable Professor Lockhart?"

Bell had roughly guessed what happened.

"The professor is under the desk."

Hermione said pointing to the large desk at the front of the classroom. The expression on the little witch's face was a little subtle, as if she was hesitant to speak.

"……oh."

"Oh what! Bell, hurry up and catch these little guys with me."

Hermione said as she took out her wand, and then hit a Cornish elf with a precise petrification spell.

"Beautiful spell! Hermione, you have improved a lot compared to a few months ago. It seems that you have practiced your magic locking skills well?"

Seeing Hermione's neat movements, Bell couldn't help but applaud and praise her.

"After all, I can't use the wand at home during the holidays, so besides reading, I can only practice the 'little tricks' you taught me before. I didn't expect that the petrification spell just now could actually hit the target. I was scared myself."

Hermione said shyly.

Although she believed that the skills Bell taught her would be useful, she practiced hard every day during the summer vacation. But because she couldn't use the wand to cast spells before, she didn't know how she would improve.

To be honest, Hermione was really scared by herself.

A Cornish elf suddenly appeared behind Belle. The little guy stretched out his 'sinful' little hand and wanted to grab Bell's hair.

"Bell! Watch your back!"

Hermione exclaimed.
