HP: Embrace the Darkness

This trial did not go well.

Asses tried again and again, and all the guinea pigs were used up. But I still haven't found a clue to make the magic power flow more smoothly when casting spells.

Just when he was like a headless fly, the Duke finished his own business and came over to inquire about the progress of his son's spell training.

"How's it going? Aces."

"Father, I discovered that gestures assist us in casting spells. They essentially guide our magic power to flow along a certain trajectory and then be released."

"This trajectory is an important reason for successfully casting a spell."

"But in my opinion, the flow of magic power should be smoother. In other words, there should be a simpler flow trajectory, but I can't find a trajectory that can make the magic power smoother."

"And I feel that a simpler flow trajectory can make the spell be released faster and at the same time strengthen the power of the spell. It is completely possible to use less magic to release a more powerful spell."

"Father, what should I do?"

After saying that, Asseth looked at his father with a confused look on his face.

Even if the Duke was mentally prepared for his son's talent, he was still frightened.

He is so sensitive to magic power that he can even feel the flow of magic power.

And this can be regarded as an improved curse! It was incredible that his son was trying to improve the spell.

For a moment, the Duke felt a little elated, but he couldn't help but feel glad that he had arrived early, otherwise he would have blown himself up according to his son's reckless approach. Improving the curse was not a simple and safe thing.

Seeing that his son was still struggling with this issue, the Duke had to pour some cold water on him, that is, to give him a wake-up call.

"Aces, listen to me. Your current knowledge base cannot support you in improving a magic spell, so I don't recommend that you try to improve the magic spell now."

The Duke looked at his son's persistent eyes and felt a little headache. As a father, he didn't know how stubborn this boy was.

I can only keep an eye on him more from now on. The Duke secretly made up his mind.

"If you really want to improve the curse, then go to the library at home and have a look. The book will have the answers you want."

"And every time you improve the spell, you must do it under our care."

"No problem, Father."

After hearing what his duke father said, Asses responded thoughtfully. He knew his father was worried about him.

After saying that, he did not go to the library immediately, but continued to read textbooks in the basement.

He turned to the bookshelf and pulled out a book. That was Anna's textbook when she was in school.

There are notes from her class on it, as well as some spell-casting techniques that she has figured out.

Aces felt that no matter what time, textbooks were always the most basic, and he planned to learn the magic spells in the books by swallowing them wholeheartedly before continuing to learn more about them.

To change something, you must first learn it and understand it.

The Duke nodded approvingly as he looked at Asseth's actions. He had always known that his child was truly outstanding and neither impatient nor impatient.

Seeing that Asseth was already immersed in the textbook, the Duke turned around and left gently, waving his wand to make the basement a little brighter.

It seems that the basement needs to be decorated. Aces may have to study here often in the future. The Duke thought as he walked.

----

The time spent immersed in the magical world passed extremely quickly. Before she had finished learning the spells in this textbook, Anna came down to invite people to eat.

"Coming, mother." Asses responded.

I put down the textbook I had held all afternoon, stood up and stretched my stiff body a little before going up.

In the dining room, the Duke was already waiting at the table.

Aces walked towards the Duke and Anna, and after greeting them respectively, the servant began to serve the meal.

The family doesn't have many rules at the dinner table, and they chat from time to time.

During the chat, the Duke seemed to casually mention the progress of Artes today, and looked at Anna to show off. Under his guidance, Artes has made rapid progress and has begun to be exposed to the improvement spell.

After hearing this, Anna glanced at the Duke depressedly.

She didn't perform well yesterday, and it was all because Assei scared me.

I will start teaching Asseth alchemy tomorrow! She secretly made up her mind

Aces is her son and must have inherited her alchemy talent.

The Duke and Anna entered Durmstrang in the same year.

The two of them have always competed for first place, secretly or openly, since they met at school. From the first grade to the seventh grade, they were the best companions and the opponents who understood each other best.

Because Durmstrang did not have an alchemy class, she was unable to bring out her best alchemy skills. She always lost more than she won. This time, she must not lose in her son's education.

Asseth looked at the two childishly bickering parents and sighed quietly. Ever since he was a child, from the first person he called to who he liked the most, there was nothing they didn't argue with.

He's used to it.

But he also knew that this was his parents' way of getting along and a sign of their love for him, so he happily accepted it every time.

This time was no exception. Asseth first smiled and watched his parents bickering, until his father was glared at by his mother several times before he spoke out to save the situation.

"Mom, I want to learn your alchemy."

Anna's eyes lit up and she immediately turned to look at Asseth.

"Of course, my baby, your mother and I are a master alchemist. You can definitely become a master alchemist like me."

Anna looked at Asseth with pride and a little expectation.

Aces knew his mother very well. When he saw the look in Anna's eyes, he immediately praised Anna's excellence and promised to learn Anna's alchemy.

Anna turned to look at the Duke, her eyes full of pride, look, our son praised me, I am his favorite person.

When the Duke saw this, he immediately looked at Asseth without saying a word, just looking at him like this.

Asseth could only continue, of course, so did his father.

Only then did the two of them stop bickering, and after eating, they went to prepare lessons together.

There is no way he/she can lose. he/she thinks.

After successfully appeasing his two immature parents, Asseth turned around and went to the basement to continue reading the textbook he had not finished reading just now.

The basement is a bit cold, and the fireplace is not very warm, but Asseth has been like a stove since he was a child, and it is steaming.

In winter, Anna liked to hold him for warmth, so Asseth didn't feel cold, but liked the temperature very much.

Time passed by, and the fire in the fireplace became smaller and smaller.

Under the dim light, Asseth felt that his brain movement began to slow down, he yawned, and tears appeared faintly.

Waving his hands, the blue time is displayed in the sky.

It was ten o'clock, no wonder he was sleepy.

Aces remembered the number of pages, closed the textbook, and carefully put it back on the bookshelf.

Go upstairs to wash up, refuse the service of the house elf as usual, put on your pajamas after taking a bath, go to the master bedroom and say good night to your parents.

Returned to the bedroom, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
