The Admiral of Hogwarts

In the following period, Hugo was very busy. On one hand, he needed to spend a lot of time learning all kinds of knowledge far beyond what a first-year student should master, quickly enriching the knowledge reserve of the Admiral Network. On the other hand, he had to set aside some time to practice shooting, fighting, and a series of other skills.

At the same time, in order to cope with the troll attack during the Halloween event in the original text, they also needed to look through a large number of obscure materials, hoping to find a way that seemed reasonable for them to defeat a troll given their age and identity.

The first type of task was completed very well, at least under the connection of the Admiral Network. Everyone in the network, except for Hugo himself, could be said to be making rapid progress in magic learning compared to normal people. Unfortunately, because he was only a first-year student, he could only access some textbooks and extracurricular supplementary materials for now.

This also made him make finding more books his next plan. However, considering the characteristics of those books in the Restricted Section, he decided to look in the Room of Requirement next time. Theoretically speaking, when the Room of Requirement displays different functional rooms, there may be various books inside.

For example, in the room that Harry summoned in the original text to practice Defense Against the Dark Arts, there were books such as "Common Spells and Their Counters," "Outsmarting Dark Magic," and "A Collection of Self-Defense Spells," which were used to learn how to fight. More importantly, according to the description, there were hundreds of books there.

Considering the book harmony plan that Professor Dumbledore launched in the school after he became the headmaster, at least the books related to combat and dark magic can only be found a little bit in the Restricted Section now, and the quality is far inferior to the quality of those books 50 years ago.

Thinking about how Voldemort made his first Horcrux during his school years, even if the book recording the knowledge of Horcruxes could be obtained from the home of a member of the brain-dead supporter group that Voldemort formed at that time, the prerequisite knowledge required to understand that kind of cutting-edge dark magic book would definitely not be simple. And those massive amounts of dark magic knowledge should be what Voldemort managed to learn in school.

And the books in the Room of Requirement are actually the books that have been forgotten in this castle over the long years. Thinking about the number of lost books in these thousands of years, Hugo felt that he was already starting to look forward to going to the Room of Requirement to find these books.

But the possible troll invasion incident on Halloween made Hugo temporarily unable to care about other things. As time passed, he, Veneto, and Firefly searched a lot of materials, but they didn't find much useful content among them.

For example, the book "Training a Troll Bodyguard" pointed out that attacking the troll's head with a Stunning Spell or attacking the troll's eyes with an Eye-blinding Curse could cause serious damage to them, and if the attack strength was adjusted to a suitable level, that kind of pain could teach the trolls how to obey the wizard's orders.

But this instruction has two small problems. The first is that if you want to know the specific spell strength table, you need to send an owl to the contact address printed on the last page of the book and send more than two hundred Galleons for tuition with the letter. First, don't consider how suspicious this kind of memory contact method would be if the trolls really caused trouble on Halloween. Just two hundred Galleons, he doesn't have them.

On the other hand, both the Stunning Spell and the Eye-blinding Curse are definitely spells that upperclassmen have the ability to master. And Hugo's Muggle-born background and first-year student status would cause a lot of trouble if they used this spell. So even though both Veneto and Firefly said that they could learn these two spells before Halloween, he still rejected the idea of directly defeating the troll.

However, the book "Traveling with Trolls" can be regarded as full of useful information. Just thinking about the title of the book, you can know how heavy the taste of the guy whose memory was robbed by Lockhart is. But some of the details about the special living habits of trolls are unparalleled, even the content about trolls in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is far inferior.

Thinking about it, Newt Scamander, the old man, has devoted his life to protecting magical creatures. But as a normal human being, he also has no love for trolls, which are brainless, destructive, and disgusting in terms of sight, smell, and touch. So the records are naturally relatively simple.

In the book "Traveling with Trolls," the author specifically noted that from an anatomical point of view, the size of a troll's head is obviously small in proportion to its body, and this also affects the troll's brain capacity.

Too small brain volume leads to obvious intellectual defects in trolls, and too small cerebellum volume leads to serious problems in trolls' body balance, making it easy to fall due to the destruction of balance.

Most importantly, after accommodating the minimum brain in that size of the skull, the skull of the troll's head has to become very thin. This also makes the head of this creature the most fragile part of their body.

However, even with this information, it is extremely difficult to defeat trolls while controlling the magic power level at a lower level. However, in order to figure out the rules for obtaining Destiny Points and summon more ship girls as soon as possible, Hugo began to prepare.

In the following period, in addition to working hard to learn various knowledge, skills, and preparing to fight the trolls, Hugo's biggest gain was that he and Harry slowly changed from nodding acquaintances to relatively familiar people. Although they can't be regarded as very good friends, they are also the kind of acquaintances who can say a few words to each other at ordinary times.

The most obvious example is that now when Hugo and the others are studying and writing homework in the library, Harry and Ron sometimes come over to ask for some homework questions. After all, the level of the Gryffindor little wizards in academics is still slightly worse than that of Ravenclaw.

"Although Gryffindor students are not too willing to put too much effort into learning, they are quite serious when they are learning," Hermione said to Hugo when she returned to the common room after finishing her studies one day.

After all, in terms of personality, she still has a side of being a good teacher, but because Hugo's level in all aspects is not bad, it is difficult for Hermione to find opportunities to educate others at ordinary times. This time, it can be regarded as letting her have her fill.

However, according to Hugo's observation, Harry and Ron did not seem impatient because of Hermione's attitude. On the one hand, it is because Hermione is not an only child this time, so she has learned how to get along with peers when dealing with Hugo at ordinary times. Therefore, when explaining problems to Harry and Ron, there is no uncomfortable arrogance.

On the other hand, because Hermione and Harry are not in the same house now, she will also pay attention to restraining her temper when facing Harry and the others. And for Harry and the others, Harry and the others are very grateful as long as Hermione can explain those knowledge clearly.

Under this situation where they are trying to tolerate each other, the golden trio in the original work seems to be much more harmonious when they first come into contact here. And Hugo also gained a little Destiny Points because of this unexpected change.

In short, everything seems to be slowly getting better during this time.
