From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

After struggling through Tuesday afternoon's Herbology and History of Magic classes, Sivan's life as a student finally seemed to be back on track.

There are no longer people who go around destroying the magic nodes of the castle all day long, there are no longer professors who stare at Xiven all day long and cast confusion spells, and there are no longer dark wizards who secretly sneak into the Forbidden Forest to make big news...

Although life at Hogwarts has become stable, the often restless kitten makes Sivan, the "old father", worried.

She had to leave her dormitory every day and go out for a walk all day long. Only at night would she remember that Xiwen, the "nominal" owner, would go back to the cat cage and take a nap.

I don’t know where the kitten goes and makes a mess every day. It often turns its white hair into dust and its paws are often stained with mud.

After Xiwen tried to give her a bath several times but failed, he had to secretly recite the cleaning spell after she fell asleep every day to clean up this troublesome cat. This way, the kitten would not completely turn into a mess. A gray cat...

After the ghost Xiwen secretly observed and inquired in many ways, the little wizard Xiwen sought the help of Professor Kettleburn, and he finally understood what the kitten did every day.

It turns out that the kitten patrols different places around Hogwarts every day, as if inspecting its own territory. The key is that she can also move instantaneously, which cannot be restricted by the castle's anti-Apparition spell, so few people can find her specific traces.

Fortunately, Professor Kettleburn is also an experienced streetwalker, and he has seen kittens several times in the Forbidden Forest. The kitten seemed to be very dissatisfied with Professor Kettleburn's previous attempts to feed her smelly mice. Every time the professor found out, she would glare at him with dissatisfaction and then walk away in a swagger.

In addition, once Professor Kettleburn went to Bowtruckle Island on the Black Lake to take care of Bowtruckles, and unexpectedly found kittens there. She seemed to get along well with the small magical creature, the Bowtruckle, and was even allowed to climb one of their roosting trees.

Professor Kettleburn said to Sivan: "According to the habits of cats, your kitten probably regards the entire Hogwarts Castle and its surroundings as its own territory. Those of us who often take care of her do it for her." Serving Twolegs, friendly magical creatures like the Bowtruckle are her friends."

"Usually, the stronger the magic power of magical cats, the larger the territory they demarcate for themselves. Judging from the territory your kitten occupies, her future is limitless!" the professor said with emotion.

The corners of Xiwen's mouth twitched.

Unfortunately, I was worried that she would not be doing well and would be bullied by others. The sentimental person has long since crowned himself the master of the entire Hogwarts!

After looking away, Xiwen finally no longer worried about the living conditions of the kittens. He even felt that as a cat slave, he was not worthy to worry about the "Lord of Hogwarts"...

He silently shifted his attention, and then saw Professor Kettleburn's wooden leg outside his trousers, and asked somewhat reluctantly: "Professor, are your legs really okay?"

"How many times have I told you, I'm completely fine!" Professor Kettleburn raised his wooden legs and said carelessly. "These are all my merits! After the fire dragon and the Chimera beast, there is an extra poisonous leopard, tsk tsk."

Xiwen: "...as long as you are happy."

……

Starting from Wednesday, Xiwen resumed morning exercises, but because his body was still a little uncomfortable, he decisively lowered his training volume.

After reducing the training volume, the time for morning exercises will be reduced accordingly. So Xiwen had enough time to harass Miranda.

"What? You want to learn combo casting?"

On the lawn of the teaching area, Miranda looked at Xiwen who was overestimating his abilities with wide eyes.

"You've only been in school for a few days, and you already want to learn something that isn't even taught in upper grades?" she asked.

"I don't want to learn it right away." Xiwen said flatteringly with a big smile on his face. "I just want to know if you have taken any notes, the kind related to the magic combination!"

Ever since he saw the professors' smooth spellcasting on Halloween night, Xiwen had been fascinated by the coordination of spells. He even suddenly had the idea that he could refer to the professors' spell-casting methods to combine Kama Taj's spell with the magic of this world.

However, the first thing to do is to understand how the spells work together.

Xiwen didn't think he would get the answer directly by asking the professors at this time. The professors would most likely think that he was too ambitious. In fact, this was indeed the case. He had never mastered the magic spells he needed to learn. How could he jump directly to the combination of magic spells?

So Xiven thought of Miranda, Ravenclaw's college bully, who could write notes on charms into a "Book of Spells."

"No, don't think about it, just go and learn your basic magic spells!" Miranda denied it three times and wanted to send Xiwen back.

However, Xiwen was not discouraged. He just lowered his requirements a little and said to Miranda: "Well, you can show me roughly how to use the combination of spells. It would be good for me to gain some knowledge."

"That's easy to handle." Miranda couldn't withstand Xiwen's entanglement after all, so she closed the notebook in her hand with a snap and stood up. "Actually, the way I told you to clean up the dirt last time is to use the cutting spell first and then the repair spell, which is just a combination of spells."

"Tell me more specifically?" Xiwen nodded, thinking of the cleansing, cutting and repairing spells that several professors had mastered. The three spells worked almost at the same time, making the dungeon clean in just a few breaths.

"This combination is the easiest to cast," Miranda explained. "Cast spells that can be used in conjunction with each other in a coherent manner to achieve effects that cannot be achieved by individual spells."

"But you will find that such a combination of spell casting is not necessary. Casting the spells that need to be used one by one can achieve similar effects, but the efficiency is lower."

Xiwen nodded knowingly. Compared with the professors' method of casting spells, the efficiency of cleaning up the dirt in the dungeon is obviously much slower.

"Similar to this are combat-type combination spells." Miranda continued. "For example, if you want to use a spell like Serpensortia to fight, adding an Engorgement Charm will undoubtedly make the snake you summon more effective and intimidating."

"The combined spell casting during the battle is different from the life spells that can be cast one after another, because every second in the battle is precious. If you can complete your spell earlier, you have a better chance of winning than the opponent. So this For this combination of spellcasting, a higher-level spellcasting technique should be used—silent spellcasting!”
