Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 270 The Mercury Retrograde Girl
"How do you figure it out?" Mo Lin asked.

Magatha said: "It is based on a person's movements, expressions, and shapes, combined with the interactions between surrounding objects, including flying insects, tables, books, etc., converting them into numbers, and using magic formulas to convert these numbers into numbers. Connect them together to figure out the most likely phenomenon."

"Can movements and facial expressions be connected with numbers?" Mo Lin felt very fresh.

Magatha explained earnestly: "Of course! For example, after Weber knocks over a book, he will only catch it when it falls to the ground twelve inches. It is my reaction time based on his current body posture and the time it takes for the wand to leave my hand." The distance, the falling speed of the book and the starting height are all calculated by magic formulas."

It seems quite reasonable.

Maureen nodded thoughtfully. In this way, arithmetic divination seems to be more like a combination of reasoning and algorithms, and it is different from the kind of divination that can know the future by looking at the stars and touching the crystal ball.

However, Mo Lin has long since given up on divination. He can't even understand the orientation of the planets. Professor Sinista takes care of his weekly astronomy class. He has been criticized in various ways. Divination has nothing to do with him. I plan to study it carefully.

"Let me show you this, the Arithmetic Divination Handbook Program!"

Magatha directly took out a thick big magic book from her school bag, "Ultimate Arithmetic Divination", turned to Chapter 1, and asked impatiently: "From your expression and the trembling of your eyebrows just now, you must be familiar with arithmetic." I became interested in divination and want to study arithmetic and divination, right?"

Maureen was a little bit dumbfounded, Magatha got the right thing about Weber, but she seemed to get him wrong.Then Mo Lin realized that arithmetic divination seemed to be a kind of prediction, and he was someone who would not be predicted, so it was normal for Magatha to miscalculate him.

"Yes, you are right, I really want to study."

Maureen didn't tell Magatha that she had actually made a mistake, so he casually responded, then took the thick book and read the introduction of Chapter 1:

——"Divination class" is based on misty forms such as crystal balls, tea leaves, and astrology to forcibly associate with something. This kind of prediction is very subjective and sometimes unreliable, and the speculation of numerology is very misty. Except for those who have the talent of divination, it is difficult for others to really master it.

But "arithmetic divination" is based on the state of actual things to predict the development of things, "arithmetic divination" is more like using logic to understand the future and the past.Arithmologists base their guesses on what will happen next based on this logical fact that it must happen.

There are many things to consider in arithmetic divination, and it is especially emphasized that the logic of Muggles and wizards is different.For Muggles, if you want to take off the socks on your feet when you are wearing shoes, you have to take off the shoes first, but for wizards, you can just wave your wand and take off the socks without taking off your shoes.So if you are Muggle-born, when you first learn the advanced knowledge of arithmetic and divination, you must first add the logic of magic.

If you persist in doubting that it is impossible to calculate a person’s birthday just by looking at his facial expressions, actions, and clothing, then you are destined to miss out on arithmetic and divination.

Remember, you are a wizard, don't doubt the wizard's arithmetic ability.

Mo Lin was reading the introduction of this book, but Magatha stood up suddenly, with a very distressed expression on her face, and shouted: "Oh no! Professor, I can't go to class today, today is really my water. Against the sun! I can clearly tell from the expressions and actions of Pierson and the president that they suffered a big loss just now, and that Pierson may still suffer from his best Golden Stone Curse, but I can't figure out how to make Pierson Who is the person who Mori and the president are at a disadvantage! Ah, my arithmetic divination has failed..."

Everyone looked at each other, looking at Magatha with a strange expression.

Magatha was the last to come in just now. She didn't know what happened between Mo Lin and Pearson and the others, but she was able to figure it out to this point, which really surprised Maureen.

But Magatha looked distressed, pulling at her hair and messing up her long locks.

"That... Magatha, you haven't figured out who that person is?" Professor Kane turned his eyes around Magatha and Maureen.

"Yes, professor, oh, you know it!" Magatha looked around at everyone, and the pen quickly calculated on the paper, she seemed to be talking to herself, "I will calculate, Abigail is I know it, Tiffany knows it, Shirley knows it, Rose knows it, Gu Lisi doesn't know it, and Webery doesn't know it..."

"Hey, I know," Webery called from his seat.

"You know what a ghost! Be careful that your book will drop again in five seconds!" Magatha glared at Webery.

Five seconds later, the book on Webery's desk fell down again.

"I really hate you like this!" Weber waved his wand, and the book flew up again: "Every time you say that something is going to fall, I wonder if you cast magic on purpose to make it fall."

"Magatha, that person is actually..." Professor Kane was about to speak.

But Magatha screamed and shouted: "Professor, don't tell me, I want to figure it out myself, I will definitely be able to figure it out!"

Magatha's voice was firm.

But she did the calculation for 2 minutes, but she couldn't figure it out.

Professor Kane interrupted Magatha helplessly, and said: "Magatha, maybe it is really your Mercury retrograde today, right? Do you want to go to Professor Victor to solve the Mercury retrograde? He is in the faculty office. It's a pity, I still expect you to help me figure out where I lost one of my gold coins, it was still there yesterday..."

"Ah, yes, I'm going to talk to Professor Victor." Magatha anxiously stuffed the big thick book into her schoolbag, "By the way, Professor Kane, from a little egg yolk on your cuff Sauce, combined with the formula of the multi-column magic variant matrix, the gold coin in the inner shirt pocket can be calculated."

Magatha has rushed out of the classroom in a hurry to relieve her Mercury retrograde.

Professor Kane fumbled in the pocket of his underwear, nodded slightly: "It's really there, I'm so confused, I just remembered drinking some fire ant egg yolk yesterday, I don't know where to throw it, Victor said that this girl is The most outstanding arithmetic fortune teller he has encountered since teaching, he is indeed right."

Really great.Maureen couldn't help thinking.

Professor Kane waved his wand to remove a little mayonnaise left on his cuff, and then said: "The first training camp this semester is mainly for everyone to get to know the new members. Now everyone must have understood why Mo Lin appeared here No. I won’t go to class for the first time, and the others will review the content of last semester first, Mo Lin, come with me.”

Professor Kane signaled Morin to follow, and they walked out of the book together, saying, "I'll let you familiarize yourself with the book "Crossing Arcane Time and Space" today, you must have a lot of doubts about this book, right?"

Maureen nodded: "Yes, professor, I didn't know there was such a big book in the library before."

Anyone who sees this huge book that is like a wall will be amazed, not to mention that this book is like a hotel, and there are different rooms for different pages.

"Let's go, this book has a lot of secrets! Don't think it was created by magic, it is actually a book." Professor Kane said with a smile.
