Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 163 164. Scott's First Arithmetic Divination

"You already understand the magical subject of arithmetic and divination."

Professor Victor reached out and tore a piece of parchment from the table and handed it to Scott.

"Try it!"

He said impatiently.

"You are in the fourth grade. I have already explained the basic methods in the third grade."

He speaks very fast.

"But only students who understand the true meaning of this course can master it. If they don't understand, they can only calculate mechanically!"

He shook the parchment in his hand.

"You can already try it!"

"Ok."

Scott reached out hesitantly and took the paper.

Although Professor Victor said so, he actually didn't know what he should do...

At this time, Professor Victor handed over another quill, "Quickly think about what you want to measure? Be more specific!"

Forget it, just try it, it doesn’t matter if you fail anyway.

Thinking of this, Scott reached for the pen and wrote the word [parents] on the paper.

"I want to know about my parents, how they are doing now," he said.

"Parents?" Professor Victor nodded, "Quickly, list the known conditions!"

Scott wrote down the names of his parents on the paper, and their location, Spain.

"You can write more for the known conditions!" Professor Victor said, "The more detailed the conditions, the more accurate the results will be!"

"Ok."

Scott began to scribble, writing down everything he could think of.

He quickly filled half the parchment.

Seeing him stop writing, Professor Victor immediately said: "Is there no more? Well, now, according to the letter and number correspondence table you have learned, convert these conditions into numbers!"

Scott nodded, and quickly wrote a series of numbers under the words on the paper.

"If you are proficient..." Professor Victor said, "You can directly write the corresponding numbers at the step of enumerating the known conditions!"

It took Scott some time to convert the words into numbers.

"Now, start calculating!" Professor Victor urged, "You can use the magic we have learned!"

Scott put down the quill, took out his wand and waved it, thinking about the laws of arithmetic and divination, and chanting spells.

"Rules of arithmetic."

It was the only spell Scott had ever learned in Arithmancy.

Its function is - when you fully understand the algorithm, you can use this spell to replace cumbersome calculations and directly draw the correct conclusion.

The quill on the parchment immediately stood up, and the tip of the pen shuttled across the paper, calculating and reorganizing the numbers, and finally came up with individual numbers.

These numbers are one of the nine numbers from 1 to 9.

"Very good, now I will teach you real arithmetic divination!"

Professor Victor raised his wand.

"Watch my movements and read after me!"

His wand drew several complex and smooth arcs in the air, and finally the wand clicked.

"The numbers appear!"

Afterwards, he withdrew his wand and emphasized, "During this process, you must firmly think about your purpose and what you want to divination!"

Scott nodded solemnly, recalled the actions of Professor Victor, and moved the wand in his hand.

"The numbers appear!"

The point of his wand was on the parchment.

At this moment, he saw the numbers on the parchment tremble for a moment, then stopped again.

"Good, but not accurate enough!"

Professor Victor then raised his wand and repeated.

"The numbers appear!"

He looked at Scott, "Remember, mobilize your sensitivity to numbers!"

Scott felt that what he said was really abstract!
Fortunately, Scott is at the stage of realizing arithmetic divination today, and he miraculously understood what he meant.

He nodded again, and waved his wand again.

"The numbers appear!"

At this moment, he closed his eyes, and a concrete picture seemed to appear in his mind.

The figures of Michael and Emilia clearly appeared in his mind, and countless embodied figures were spinning and dancing around those two figures, constantly arranging and combining them.

His eyes snapped open as the point of his wand touched the parchment.

On the parchment, the numbers obtained from the previous calculation moved.

The numbers began to scurry across the page.

In the eyes of Professor Scott and Victor, the movement of those numbers has some clear rules.

Numbers began to collide and disappear, which meant that complex calculations were in progress.

Until the end, all the numbers disappeared in the collision, leaving only a single number [6], which stopped above the word [parents].

Scott's legs softened immediately, and he quickly supported the desk surface with his hands so as not to fall.

"Ok?"

Professor Victor glanced at him.

"Sorry, you are not yet an adult, and you are not very proficient in the use of arithmetic and divination, which has caused you to consume a lot."

"I didn't expect this to happen..."

Scott grinned and slowly steadied himself.

"It doesn't matter, it will be fine after you become proficient." Professor Victor said disapprovingly.

"Yes."

Scott smiled helplessly, staring at the [6] on the parchment.

He heard Professor Victor ask himself, "Do you know how to interpret it?"

Scott replied, "[6], representing harmony, fraternity, and family values."

"Barely explainable, but you're talking about what we learned in the 'Number and Name Divination' section."

Professor Victor said.

"If it's just like this, it won't be able to show the accuracy of the magic of arithmetic divination."

"So, what should I do, Professor?"

Scott looked up at Professor Victor.

Professor Victor pointed to the [6] on the parchment, "Actually, I don't need to tell you, Mr. Trollope. This is the result of your calculation. Numbers are spiritual, and you have already created with them. connect."

"connect?"

Scott reached out and touched the [6] with his finger, but felt nothing.

"Is your perception only real touch?" Professor Victor asked bluntly.

"I understand!"

Scott laughed and closed his eyes.

He begins to see the world in terms of magical perception.

Soon, with his magic power, he could clearly perceive the gleaming number under his finger.

He hurriedly concentrated his perception, and instantly felt that his mind was completely immersed in that number.

This feeling is indescribable, just like communicating with each other, he has clearly understood the meaning contained in this number [6].

After a long time, he opened his eyes again.

"Thank you, Professor Victor!"

He sincerely thanked the ugly professor in front of him.

"It seems that my parents are doing well in a foreign country!"

He was very happy at the moment.

Not only because I re-recognized a magic subject, but also because I understood the current situation of my parents.

Scott still harbors guilt over Michael and Emilia's departure from England.

If it wasn't for their own son, their husband and wife would not have to leave the small town they knew and loved, and go to a foreign country to start over.

He has been worrying about their condition.

Even if it was his mother's natal family over there, he was worried that his relatives would not get along well.

But now he is completely relieved.
