#53 - Feel the Leg Locking Curse

The Bat-Bogey Hex is quick to learn, has a long-lasting effect, and is easy to master.

With these advantages, Mune is very willing to invest more effort in this type of spell.

Now, besides attending classes and completing his daily assignments on time, the rest of his time is fully scheduled.

He spends an hour reading 'A Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi'.

This book is a common textbook for Herbology and Potions, and also a template for Mune's plan to find herbs in Xilin.

Then, he spends an hour practicing the Petrification Charm.

Although this spell has a short duration and slow progress, it is the strongest spell Mune has mastered.

As for the remaining two to three hours, Mune spends all of them practicing the Bat-Bogey Hex.

In terms of learning the Bat-Bogey Hex, Mune is completely different from others.

Seamus, Lavender, and others stopped practicing after learning the Bat-Bogey Hex.

They believe that it is enough to learn this kind of prank spell.

Even Ron gradually lost interest in teaching. In his opinion, without so many people supporting him, there is no need to persist.

But Mune is different. He practices alone in the corner of the common room every day.

Perhaps seeing Mune's persistence, Ron couldn't bear it and even called in reinforcements.

"The Quidditch champion's friend, I didn't expect you to like these little things."

"Indeed, I thought little Ron, the crybaby, had gotten into trouble and needed us to vouch for him."

The speakers were Ron's twin brothers, who were also Ron's mentors in the Bat-Bogey Hex.

After Ron explained, Mune realized that the two famous older students had come to guide him in learning the Bat-Bogey Hex.

After thanking the three red-haired young wizards, he directly asked the question he was currently encountering.

"When I practice the Leg-Locker Curse, I can't seem to lock both legs at the same time."

This problem had been bothering Mune all day, and he hadn't solved it even after practicing it more than a dozen times.

In front of the three, Mune demonstrated it once, and George frowned and stepped forward.

"You're using this to practice the Leg-Locker Curse?"

He picked up the stick figure on the desk, which was Mune's practice object.

"That's right. After casting the spell each time, I check its legs to see if the spell has taken effect."

"No, no, no, this direction is completely wrong."

Fred also stepped forward. He glanced at the stick figure and then looked at Mune.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on Ron.

"Little Ron, do you know why your Bat-Bogey Hex isn't as proficient and doesn't last as long as George's and mine?"

Ron's face showed an impatient expression when he heard this question.

In his opinion, the twins were called in only to help Mune solve the problem.

But if the twins even lectured him, then he would definitely not admit it.

"You guys just talk about Mune's problem, why bring me into it."

"Oh, it seems little Ron, the crybaby, doesn't want to know this secret."

George teased, and Ron's face turned red. Then, he and Fred laughed together.

"Alright, let's reveal the ultimate secret of magic to the two gentlemen!"

Fred said, leaning forward slightly, and Ron and Mune also leaned in involuntarily.

"That's because... we practice on each other."

Mune had never thought of the solution given by Fred.

Because since entering Hogwarts, every professor has sternly stated their attitude.

"It is forbidden to experiment with spells on any classmates."

But the twins not only violated this rule, but also seemed very proud of having such an experience.

"If you don't personally experience the power of the Bat-Bogey Hex, how can you imagine the miserable state of the opponent after being hit!"

"That's right, I still remember the first time I was hit by the Tickling Charm, the itching all over my body kept me up all night."

"And me, after being hit by the Jelly-Legs Curse, I crawled to class, which delayed my flying class."

The twins proudly flaunted their past glorious experiences to the two young wizards, which Mune had never expected.

[Imagine the miserable state of the person hit by the spell.]

This was one of the methods Ron taught for the Bat-Bogey Hex the day before yesterday.

Now it seems that this method is completely inherited from the crazy twins in front of him.

But if this method is really useful, then letting himself be hit by the spell seems to be a shortcut to learning the Bat-Bogey Hex.

"I want to try the Leg-Locker Curse."

After figuring it out, Mune boldly put forward his idea.

Mune's statement made the twins' eyes light up. They walked over and patted Mune on the shoulder as if they had discovered a kindred spirit.

"You can definitely do it."

"That's right, my spell effect can only last for two hours."

Two hours was completely acceptable to Mune.

Especially since the Leg-Locker Curse was very much in line with his upcoming requirements for dealing with the Xilin War.

This was also the reason why he wanted to master this spell as soon as possible.

Walking to the velvet sofa in the common room, Mune sat down and signaled Fred to cast the spell.

"Hopefully Percy doesn't show up."

After Fred said this, his wand pointed directly at Mune.

Without any fancy effects, when Fred finished chanting the spell, Mune's legs were immediately tightly joined together.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open them.

"Don't just sit here, you better move around so you can truly feel the misery of the cursed."

George walked over and sat next to Mune, offering his suggestion.

"Alright."

With Fred's help, Mune stood up and started moving around.

After his legs were locked, Mune found it very difficult to hop forward.

Because his legs couldn't exert any force, and his entire foot was parallel to the ground, he couldn't borrow any force, and the way he jumped was also very strange.

In order not to attract the attention of others, Mune chose to hop directly back to the dormitory and then move around in the dormitory.

Thump~

Thump~

Thump~

When Bengbeng saw Mune hopping back, his little head tilted to one side.

"Ji?" (Did you pick up shiny treasure?)

"No."

"Ji?" (Then why are you hopping?)

"Because I'm experimenting with magic."

"Jiji!" (You don't look as good hopping as I do!)

Mune didn't answer Bengbeng's last sentence.

The distance back to the dormitory had already made him truly feel the power of the Leg-Locker Curse.

The feeling after being cursed wasn't that the legs were tied with ropes.

But that the entire muscles, bones, and meridians were firmly locked.

It was as if an unknown force completely enveloped the legs, and not a single bit of strength could be used.

After Mune returned to the dormitory, Ron quickly followed him back.

"Sorry, I never thought of letting you be cursed."

"It's okay, besides, I asked for it myself."

"Alright, if there's anything inconvenient for you to do, you can tell me, I can help you."

Ron's guilt didn't last long.

Originally, according to Fred's estimate, the spell effect of two hours disappeared without a trace in less than an hour.

Ron thought the twins had tricked him again, but Mune didn't think so.

He could faintly feel that the magic effect still existed, but the power wasn't as great anymore.

"I wonder if other spells applied to the body would be like this?"
