Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

“So, only by becoming strong can you truly grasp your destiny; otherwise, even ensuring your own safety becomes a major problem. Reading,” Anduin said, closing the book and smiling slightly. “But these things are still too far away from us for now. Let’s just enjoy our Christmas dinner.”

“Oh, right, this is my Christmas gift to you.” Anduin took out a silver-white metal coin and pushed it in front of Hagrid.

“Oh? What’s this? Doesn’t look like a silver Sickle.” Hagrid picked up the metal coin and scrutinized it closely.

“Well, I currently call it a Communication Coin. Its functions aren’t complete yet. The side with the sword is the front, and the side with the Ouroboros is the back. It’s an alchemical item I made recently,” Anduin said with a smile.

“Communication Coin? Could this little thing transmit messages?” Hagrid repeatedly flipped the metal coin over, and sure enough, he saw a simple, oriental longsword on one side and an Ouroboros on the other.

“That’s right. If you encounter danger, just input magic into the sword side, and I’ll receive an alert and your current location. I’ll come to support you immediately. If you just want to find me normally, input magic into the Ouroboros side, and I’ll receive the message and come to your hut.”

Anduin felt that the current magical world didn’t have any devices that could directly send alerts, which was too backward.

Therefore, based on the knowledge in the book 'Application of Contact Runes' that Sirius gave him last year, he imitated the Floo Network and made this alchemical item. However, its current functions are still very weak, and the range of communication only covers Hogwarts. It can’t transmit messages in real-time like the Floo Network. As samples, he made quite a few and sent some as Christmas gifts to Vivian, Charles, and others.

“That’ll make it much easier to find you in the future. You’re so clever.” Hagrid, after hearing about the little gadget's function, repeatedly tried it with great interest.

Anduin also took out a small booklet, which was also an alchemical item, connected to the several Communication Coins he had sent out. As soon as he received a message, he could quickly see it on the booklet.

The two chatted and played with the new alchemical items, eating hotpot and singing songs, peacefully spending this year's Christmas.

In the days that followed, Anduin stayed in his hut every day, researching spells and trying to make various alchemical items. At the same time, owls from the outside world constantly traveled to and from his hut.

Many of them were letters and gifts from friends. Charles and Professor McGonagall still sent some Quidditch merchandise as gifts. Vivian knew that Anduin liked to read, so she also sent some magic books as gifts. Professor Bones was very generous, sending him 3 ounces of Itherium silver and a set of carving knives, showing that Professor Bones was very optimistic about Anduin's alchemical talent. This was a form of encouragement, hoping that he would go further on this path.

From Professor Bones' letter, Anduin learned that the Longbottoms' mental trauma was more serious than imagined. They couldn't remember anyone and had even lost the ability to take care of themselves. In the future, they could only stay in the hospital for care. The Lestranges' hideout in Surrey was found by a team of Hit Wizards and Aurors led by Moody, and a fierce battle broke out there. Bella and others were successfully captured at the cost of two Aurors being seriously injured and have now been sent to Azkaban. In the letter, Professor Bones also expressed his gratitude to Anduin for providing the information.

Anduin shook his head speechlessly at this. In a surprise attack, the Auror side still suffered casualties, which made him question the tactical literacy of these Aurors.

“Why don’t they set up defenses in advance and attack in stages? How is the battle of a regular army like a child’s fight, stupidly rushing up together?” Anduin thought helplessly.

Just as the Christmas holiday was about to end, an owl arrived in front of Anduin's hut with a large package.

“Finally arrived.”

Opening the package, a pair of brand-new leather boots came into view. If Hagrid were there, he would definitely be able to tell that they were made from the Chimera hide he gave.

These were custom-made from Twilfitt and Tattings in Diagon Alley for 5 Galleons, using that Chimera hide. The quality of the finished product was very good, and he planned to turn these boots into an alchemical item.

“It’s time to start building all-terrain tactical gear,” Anduin said with a gratified smile.

All-terrain tactical gear was a set of tactical equipment envisioned by Anduin, including 'Sensing', 'Interference', 'Movement', 'Protection', and 'Lethality' modules. If it could be fully assembled, it would be a tactical model designed to counter all terrains, all directions, and all types of enemies.

These boots were one of them, serving as an alchemical carrier for the 'Movement' module. Anduin planned to enchant them with runes such as 'Shock Absorption', 'Silence', 'Adhesion', 'Enhancement', and 'Transformation'. This would be very helpful for lurking, traversing terrain, short-distance bursts, and long-distance sprints. After all, his current flying was still unstable, and riding a broomstick in battle was easy to be targeted. Only by increasing the speed of instantaneous bursts can he use his footwork to gain an advantage in battle.

The relevant runes had been completely mastered in his tireless study and practice, and now it was time to test the results.

It took him two full days to inscribe the runes on the leather boots and use the 'Non-Injury Hammer' to reinforce and strengthen the item.

The next day at noon, the Hogwarts students had all returned to school, and they were preparing to start classes the next day. It was also the day he would return to the Slytherin dormitory.

Anduin gave this new equipment a grotesque name, 'Phase Boots'. He put on the newly made leather boots, tapped his heels together, and wisps of light-colored runes began to appear on the boots.

He raised his right leg and exerted force forward. With a 'swoosh', Anduin darted forward a distance like a gust of wind.

After observing backward, Anduin nodded. “The distance of twenty meters only took a little over a second, so a hundred meters would be a little over 6 seconds, which is faster than the current Olympic champion. That’s good enough. Next, test the terrain traversal and physical consumption.”

Thinking this, he sprinted along the path and quickly arrived at the ring of stone piles. He jumped up with all his might, leaping more than two meters high, stepping on the side of a stone pillar, and then running upwards on the wall, completely defying gravity. After reaching a height of more than ten meters, he did a backflip, leaving the stone pillar and falling down. Then, like a gymnast, he landed steadily, with his hands raised upwards, like a gymnast landing.
