Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 50 Nose Breathes Fire

  Many people will not give up easily until their nose is ashamed.

  Albert's roommate is obviously no exception. After staring at the first volume of "Practical Defense Magic and Its Restraint to Black Magic" for a long time, he finally couldn't help but try it.

   "Armor protection!" Fred raised his wand and swiped down, and chanted the spell according to the book, but nothing happened.

   "The book says that the Iron Armor Curse won't shine!" George reminded by comparing the two.

   "Come on, try again." Li Qiaodan picked up "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide" and threw it at Fred.

   "Do you want to smash me to death?" Fred quickly jumped away, glaring at Lee Jordan.

   "Encountering danger can stimulate your potential more, and a book will definitely not kill you." Li Qiaodan immediately quibbled.

   "Use this!" Albert threw Fred's pillow to Li Jordan angrily. He felt that Fred would probably be hard to succeed. Isn't throwing books just looking for trouble?

   Actually, Albert was right, Fred gave up for a while after being smacked by his own pillow several times.

   Of course, neither George nor Lee Jordan succeeded.

   "Okay, you guys should practice those simpler spells obediently." Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the two.

  What should this be called?

   Overwhelmed and greedy?

  Well, it is estimated that Professor McGonagall saw himself in the same way at that time.

  However, Albert is different from the three!

  He has a panel and experience pool, as long as he acquires skills, he can consume experience to cheat at any time.

   "Is there any trick to quickly learn the Iron Armor Curse?" Fred couldn't help asking.

   "The trick?" Albert thought for a while and said, "Practice a lot—this is probably the fastest trick!"

   "But how did you master these spells so quickly? It's only been summer vacation!" George was a little depressed. He found that Albert knew a lot of magic!

   This made him wonder who was born in a wizarding family.

   "I think I can guess a little bit of the reason!" Albert said after thinking about it.

   "What's the reason?" Fred asked hastily.

"Have you ever played a game that can be upgraded?" Albert glanced at the expressions on the faces of several people, "Well, I guess you haven't played it, to put it another way. Does chess need practice to become good? "

   "What does this have to do with playing chess?" The twins couldn't help complaining.

   "Playing chess not only requires talent, but also needs to improve chess skills through practice. The higher the chess skills, the more powerful you are." Albert casually gave an example that didn't quite fit. "Magic is actually similar, casting requires talent..."

   "You want to say that your talent is better than ours?" Li Qiaodan interrupted him and complained.

   "No, what I want to say is that you need to improve your magic power and control over magic through practice." Albert explained rather speechlessly.

   "You mean your magic power is stronger than ours, and your control over magic is better than ours?" the twins asked suspiciously.

"Yes, at least I think so for the time being." Albert nodded, "When I mastered more and more spells, I found that learning some new spells would become easier than before. I still remember Professor McGonagall What I said at the beginning: Hogwarts can teach underage wizards how to control and use magic."

   "Why do I feel that you are fooling us?" Fred raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I wouldn't do that kind of thing, and as I said, it's just my guess." Albert shook his head again and again. He didn't fool the three of them. Failure experience is also gradually accumulating, which is the additional experience accumulation that is lacking in directly upgrading skills using the experience pool.

  After repeated failures, the Weasley twins had temporarily given up trying to master the Iron Armor Curse, and focused on the Unlocking Curse.

  After practicing for a while in the afternoon, Fred was the first to succeed. He successfully used the Unlocking Charm to open the lock of the drawer.

   "Great, how did you do it!" George looked at Fred a little enviously, his drawer still unmoving.

"Look, Fred learned the unlocking spell first, I won." Albert, who was reading a book next to him, winked at Lee Jordan, and he handed a little pepper urchin to Lee Jordan's with an innocent face. In front of him, "Eat it, I am willing to bet and admit defeat."

   "What are you betting on?" Fred asked suspiciously.

   "Bet who among you will master the unlocking spell first." Albert said with a smile, "Eat this if you lose..."

   As he spoke, he pointed to the little pepper urchin bought in the Honeydukes candy store.

   "Albert is right, I am willing to admit defeat."

  George patted his friend on the shoulder and looked at him expectantly. Yes, he was looking forward to Lee Jordan eating that candy and blowing flames from his nose.

   "It's all your fault." Li Qiaodan said resentfully. He pushed the candy wrapper away and stuffed the candy into his mouth.

next moment.

   "It's so spicy..." When Li Qiaodan opened his mouth, a really spicy flame shot out from his nostrils, instantly covering George's face.

   "Asshole, you must have done it on purpose." George's face was a little dark, and there was a smell of pepper.

   "Ahem." Li Qiaodan spewed out some more flames.

  However, after witnessing what happened to George, Albert and Fred immediately hid far away, fearing that they would suffer unwarranted disasters.

  That guy must have done it on purpose, yes, he must have done it.

   A few minutes later, Li, who had just rinsed his mouth in the bathroom, looked at Albert with resentment. The smell of pepper hadn't completely dissipated, and his nostrils were still red from breathing fire.

   "Next time, I will never bet with you on this." Li Qiaodan said angrily.

   "It's better to eat multi-flavored beans next time." Albert blinked and picked three at random with his eyes closed.

   "That's a good idea."

"Aren't you going to continue practicing? Although you succeed once, it doesn't mean you can succeed every time." Albert threw a chocolate bean into his mouth, and began to flip through "Anthology of Spells in the Nineteenth Century". I've watched two-thirds of it.

   "How is your disillusionment spell going?" Fred asked, changing the subject.

   "I haven't fully mastered it yet. That spell is much more difficult than the Unlocking Curse." Albert glanced at the information on the panel. The experience of the Disillusionment Curse is only 35 points, which is 100 points away from the first level and needs to be trained well.

   "Is the spell really difficult?" George asked suspiciously.

   "Of course it is difficult." Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "I heard that it is one of the spells that Aurors must learn. Well, what is the profession of Auror?"

  Albert certainly knows what an Auror is, but he, who speaks in the Muggle world, shouldn't have too many attempts in the magic world.

   "It's over!"

   "What's the end?" Albert asked suspiciously.

   "I'm sure I won't be able to learn the Disillusionment Curse this year." The twins couldn't help but wailed, this is a necessary spell for night travel.
