Chapter 8 Rapid Progress
At noon, Wayne had a simple lunch and fell asleep on the bed instead of continuing to study magic.
After a whole night of excitement and walking around for a long time in the morning, he was already a little sleepy.
I had a particularly sweet sleep. When I woke up, the clock on the wall read past five o'clock.
There was some noise coming from downstairs. Wayne was curious and walked out of the bedroom in his pajamas.
The two servants and a chef in his family were all hired with high salaries and were very well-educated. There had never been such a big fuss.
"Master Wayne."
Seeing Wayne coming downstairs, a servant hurriedly came up to him with a look of surprise on his face.
"What's wrong Linda?"
"Suddenly, several owls flew in just now, threw these things in the living room, and then flew away for a while."
Linda was still a little shocked when she said it. Owls are originally nocturnal creatures and are rarely seen during the day, let alone these things.
On the carpet in the living room, several large packages were placed there without being opened.
Wayne knew that these were the things he bought in the morning from the store in Diagon Alley.
As for why those owls took a while to fly away, usually when something is delivered, the recipient has to prepare some food to replenish the owls' strength.
This was Wayne's first time, and he apparently forgot about it.
but
He glanced at Linda, another servant Elena, and the chef Bruce.
From now on, they will have to study magic at home, which will definitely cause a lot of noise, and leaving them at home will be a bit inconvenient.
It was even more so when I went to school at Hogwarts. I didn’t spend as much time at home as at school every year.
He was considering whether to fire a few people.
It can't be called dismissal. The Lawrence family has many properties. If they are willing, Wayne will provide them with a position with the same salary or a higher salary.
"Okay, maybe it's the latest technology. I bought all these things." Wayne found an excuse to fool him.
"Linda, Elena, put your things in the study, Bruce, what's for dinner?"
"How about the steak, Master Wayne."
"Let's add another grilled ribs."
"yes."
...
After dinner, Wayne came to the study and started unpacking the packages.
Putting aside the temporarily useless things, he placed several first-grade textbooks on the table, holding "Standard Spells - Elementary" in his hand and started reading.
Charms are the basis of everything. Strictly speaking, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and even Dark Arts are all spells.
As long as you learn magic spells well, it will actually be of great help to other subjects.
With a casual wave, the cup on the table broke.
Wayne took out his wand, followed the instructions in the book, concentrated, raised his wrist slightly, then pressed it down, and chanted in a fixed rhythm.
"Recover as before."
As if going back in time, all the fragments flew back to their original positions, and the cracks disappeared.
"It's quite simple."
Wayne said to himself.
He didn't even look at it. His spell talent had already reached SS-. There weren't many people higher than him in history. It was still very difficult to learn a repair spell.
Then just let other wizards be squibs.
At the same time, Wayne also discovered that he was holding a wand and casting spells according to the guidance in the book.
His spirit and thoughts were easily concentrated, and there was no ambiguity that required force to activate the spell.
No wonder they lost their wands, most wizards were no different from squibs.
For the next hour, Wayne read and practiced, and quickly learned several basic spells.
Illuminating spell, clearing spell, levitating spell, unlocking spell.
Not only did he learn it, he could simplify some of the steps.
For example, the rhythm of the levitating spell is very important. If there is an error in the pause, the spell casting will fail or be incomplete.
What is incomplete?
For example, you want the pen to float one meter high, but it only floats half a meter, and the direction of movement is uncontrollable.
It’s all introduced in these books.
But Wayne only needs to pronounce it clearly and completely, and can use some casual gestures to successfully cast the spell.
Two words to describe it is...
So scary!
"System, are there levels for spell proficiency?" Wayne suddenly asked in his mind.
[Magic proficiency levels are divided into beginner, intermediate, advanced and master levels. 】
[The host can improve the proficiency level through practice and perception, or draw the corresponding magic spell in the card draw to stack the proficiency. 】
"Is there a dashboard for my spell proficiency?"
A screen of light appeared in front of Wayne's eyes. He glanced at it and saw that the few spells he had just learned had already reached the intermediate stage.
It made Wayne feel a lot better.
The biggest benefit of the panel is that it allows him to have a clear understanding of his own status and see his progress after hard work.
Sometimes it’s not that people are unwilling to work hard, but that their efforts don’t yield results.
Without continuous positive feedback, you will naturally not be able to persist for long.
Wayne is full of energy now.
In just one night, he learned all the spells he needed to master in first grade, and they were all at the intermediate level.
Wayne didn't go out for the next few days.
Apart from going downstairs to eat every day, he spent the rest of the time in his bedroom and study studying magic.
With his powerful magic talent and the memory palace's photographic learning ability, Wayne's progress was so fast.
Not only the content of the first grade, he learned all the "Standard Spells - Level 3" and the previous content in one go, and mastered a large number of commonly used magic.
If Professor McGonagall knew his progress, he would be so surprised that he would lose his hair.
I have studied to the third grade on my own in just a few days. After the first grade is over, can I take the NETWs exam directly with the seventh grade students?
Time flies and it’s August.
The weather in London has become hotter, and the annoying chirping of cicadas has made people's tempers worse, but this cannot affect Wayne, who has cast a soundproofing spell on the room.
Snapped!
Closing the "Dark Demon Power Self-Defense Guide", Wayne stretched.
He walked to the window and opened the curtains. The dazzling sunlight shone in, causing him to squint his eyes unconsciously.
"I'm tired of reading, why not go shopping in Diagon Alley again."
Last time, because Professor McGonagall was with him, it was inconvenient for him to buy many things.
This time I can go on a shopping spree.
.......
Let’s talk about the issue of talent rating. The author’s setting is also based on the ranking of some famous wizards on the official website.
For example, I ranked the three Death Brothers at the SSS level, which must be a bit lax.
But this is not a purely mathematical problem. Comprehensive evaluation is a rough concept, and the most important criterion is combat effectiveness.
Therefore, defense against dark arts, spells, and magic power account for a large proportion.
It’s understandable that everyone has objections. I’ll try to be more reasonable and at least be able to give my own reasons without making everyone feel uncomfortable.
