Not only Ron, but all the wizards who did not take the ancient magic course in the past two days could not help but regret that they did not choose this course when they saw the textbook. Just the textbook alone was already so unique. One could only imagine how wonderful the content of the course would be.
Just as Allen had envisioned, with such a luxurious, convenient, and private textbook that could store a spell, the wizards were willing to carry it with them no matter what class they attended. When they came to the ancient magic classroom for the second time and received the equipment that Allen had custom-made for them, all of them were glad that they did not give up the course due to the influence of the conservative faction.
Seamus Finnegan first took out the wand placed on the top of the box and studied it carefully. The runes engraved on the metal wand made it look more powerful and mysterious than the traditional wooden wands. The most special thing was that there was a thin but extremely sturdy metal chain at the end of the wand. "Ollivander had released a small number of metal wands during the summer vacation two years ago, but they were more expensive than the wooden ones. My mother refused to buy them for me …"
"Even if I'm hit by a 'Remove Your Weapon' spell, I can still retrieve my wand quickly." Michael Kona put on the wrist guard that came with the wand. In the middle of the wrist guard, there was a groove for the wand. At the end of the groove, a chain was installed to connect the thin metal chain on the wand. "There's no way to add anything to an ordinary wooden wand. Coupled with the price of the raw materials, there's a reason why it's more expensive."
"Ugadim Leviosa … Huh? This wand doesn't seem to suit me. It's much harder to use than the one I have. " Seamus waved the wand at the box and cast a levitation spell. However, he realized that it was very difficult to use, and there was not even an explosion. "This is too abnormal!"
"Finnegan, do you see the runes on the tip of your wand?" "You should take an elective in Ancient Magic. Do you see the runes written in Rune?" Hermione raised her chin and pointed at the tip of the metal wand. "They're there so that when you cast an offensive spell, the excess mana will dissipate in the air and reduce the spell's power. This wand is for us to use in the practical class. We can cast spells more freely with it."
"Merlin's Underpants … I almost broke my ugly old wand …" Michael Kona had a lingering fear in his heart. He was a little concerned about his appearance. After equipping the metal wand, he was so impressed by its appearance that he almost gave up on his old wand.
Jenny took out the magic robe from the box and put it in her hand. She looked at the wizard who left with the box and quickly pulled Hermione, who still wanted to teach the other young wizards about magic, and chased after them. "Hermione, let's hurry............................................................................................................
When the young wizards came back, their temperament seemed to have changed.
The style of the magic robes that the Hogwarts students were wearing was similar to the robe worn by their professor, Allen Harris. It was like a simplified version of the robe worn by Archmage Allen Harris.
Madam Morjin had spent extra money to add a thermostat function to the dragon skin robe. The overall appearance was filled with a strong retro style, and the style was different from the modern style of Hogwarts' school uniform and the robe that was worn over it.
The equipment attached to the magic robe was the same as Allen's. On the right side of the belt, they hung the ancient magic textbook that they were given in the last class with a thin chain. A small waist pouch that was cast with a Traceless Stretch Spell was hanging diagonally on the robe. On the left side of the belt, there was a transparent magic potion bottle wrapped in metal, although they were empty now.
Unlike Allen's demon skull belt, their belt buckles were replaced with the iconic animal images of each school. For example, Ravenclaw's belt was an eagle's head embossed buckle, and Gryffindor's was a lion's head …
There was also a hierarchy among the students. The teaching assistants who were selected through the scuffle had a few gems that matched the color of their school on the hem of their robes. Although they were different from Allen's gems, which were formed by burning flames and constantly moving vigilantly of the surrounding environment, and did not have any magical effect, it was very obvious that they could distinguish the students from the teaching assistants.
These apprentice robes were also different in style according to the school. As their professor, Allen's Netheril robe was full of his personal style of power. It was a robe of shadow, death, and demonic elements, and the layers of raven feathers that represented Loynar Ravenclaw's personal symbol on the shoulders of the cloak. The students of Hogwarts' Ancient Magic class, on the other hand, had a strong style of their school's robes.
Apart from the fact that the robes were based on the colors of the four academies, Gryffindor's Cape Mountain's shoulders were like a lion's mane; Slythrin's robes were made of snake skin with faint patterns of scales; Ravenclaw's robes were made of copper-colored eagle feathers; Hufflepuff's robes were made of badger fur. Unknowingly, Alan had put more effort into designing Ravenclaw's robes, making them look more elegant than the robes of the other three academies.
This made the wizards in the Ancient Magic class look like wizards from ancient times. Usually, a reform would make things look more advanced, but this time, Allen's reform seemed to make things more retro …
"I'll hang it up for you," Harry took Neville's Ancient Magic textbook from his hands and hung it on Neville's body. Due to Neville's plump figure, even though he used to wear a loose magic robe, the combination of a vest, trousers, and shirt would still make him look very bloated. However, this time, he was wearing the magic robe that Professor Harris had tailor-made for him. When he didn't speak, he looked a lot more majestic.
Allen, who was waiting outside the classroom, observed the situation in the classroom through the shadow of the Three-eyed Raven he left behind. He pretended to be mysterious and omniscient. After all the wizards had changed into their robes and returned to the classroom, he took the opportunity to step into the classroom and stood on the podium. "These robes are mainly made of dragon skin. Together with a metal wand that reduces the power of the robes, you can use them as protective gear during the Ancient Magic Practice class. You can practice and duel with your hands open without worrying about the power of magic spells."
The Gryffindor girl's twin sister, Ravenclaw girl, Padma Petil, loved the new robes so much that she forgot to raise her hand. She couldn't help but ask, "Professor Harris, do we still need to take them off after class like the ones in Quidditch? Can we put them back on? I promise I won't break them. "
"Petil, of course you can put them back on. Like I said, this is a gift for all of you. However, I suggest you change them when you go to other classes to avoid your academy's points being deducted due to your attire not meeting the school's standards. Of course, I don't think any professor can stop you from wearing the robes for your 'practice' outside of class …" Allen reached out his hand and made a 'please do as you please' gesture. The reason why Allen used his personal style of clothing as a reference for the students' new robes was because he wanted to use his multiple identities and achievements as an idol to subtly influence the wizards so that they would unconsciously be closer to his preferences and ideals.
After waiting for the students to stop cheering and refocus their attention on him, Allen took out his ancient magic textbook from his waist and opened it with his left hand. Then, he walked down from the podium and walked to each of the wizards according to their seating order.
Allen's right hand pointed at his own book. Streaks of bright silver substances that were put into the meditation basin were picked out by his fingers from his textbook and placed into the students' books. The students who owned them would be able to read the teaching materials on their own pages made up of moving letters.
The class soon quieted down as the wizards were immersed in their own teaching materials. In everyone's teaching materials, Allen first recorded the lightning spell used by Draco and gave it to the students as a general teaching material. In the Hogwarts, there was no such spell that could directly harm the enemy and control its power independently. Furthermore, this Hex was a favorite of Europe's first Dark Demon King, Grindelwald himself. It had a very wide range of uses, and it had a certain degree of paralysis effect, which could affect the subsequent attacks of enemies that had yet to be dealt with.
Then, according to what he saw in the practice class last time, Allen tailored different spells for the students and imprinted them in their respective books. In the training class, for the wizards who had already learned the lightning spell like Draco, Allen taught them different spells according to their personal progress and talent. He didn't want to make it easier for the teachers to prepare for the lessons. Instead, the excellent students would waste time learning things they already knew in class while waiting for the bad students. As long as the students worked hard enough, they would become more and more outstanding and widen the gap between them and ordinary wizards.
"Draco, you've practiced the lightning spell quite well. I've also added the 'drowning spell' to your textbook. The people who are hit by this spell will have their lungs filled with liquid, and they won't be able to speak or wave their wand accurately. Unless they have a strong Constitution and can hold on until they cough out most of the liquid before they die or the spell caster dispels the spell, they will eventually drown to death." After saying that, Allen glanced at the other students behind the desk. He was satisfied that the young wizards who were frightened by the introduction of the spell didn't show any strong feelings of rejection like they did a year or two ago. "This drowning spell is very dangerous. Before you master it, don't try to use it on others."
Allen's words made Draco happy. After nodding to Allen and promising that he wouldn't use it carelessly, he proudly raised his eyebrows at Allen. As long as this continued, he would be one step ahead of the other students in this subject and maintain the dignity of the heir of the Malfoy family. However, this also made Allen notice his somewhat arrogant thoughts. The ancient magic professor shook his head slightly and continued to walk.
"Harry, I noticed that you didn't use the 'Shadowless Divine Blade' that I taught you before the fifth-grade Ministry of Magic incident. In the future, when you have the practice wand and the dragon robe in the ancient magic practice class, I hope you won't hold back in battle anymore." Allen patted Harry's shoulder, who was still a little dispirited due to sleep problems. "Don't worry, I think you and I have already practiced its counterspell very well."
After that, after recording everyone's textbooks, Allen stood on the podium and looked around at the wizards in the class. He clapped his hands to attract their attention from the textbooks to himself. "I want to know, how many wizards in the class know the guardian spell?"
After all, other than the wizards in the training class, Allen didn't know much about the average wizard's mastery of magic. It was also impossible for him to use Mind Extraction to find out this information in their minds one by one.
Most of the junior wizards didn't know the spell, but most of the senior wizards raised their hands. Other than the members in the training class who had practiced it for a long time, the fifth-grade Defense Against Dark Magic Professor, Remus Lupin, seemed to have made good progress in teaching this spell. The members of the class had also practiced this spell.
"Thank you, please put down your hands. If you haven't learned the guardian spell, and if you want to be taught the secret art of black magic like Draco, you must first learn this spell. Being able to cast the guardian spell is the prerequisite. " Allen remembered the wizards who didn't raise their hands. He glanced at them and added, "This can basically guarantee that you won't go astray on the path of learning and using black magic. Remember, don't be careless. Keep this state at all times, and I'll check. Of course, if you really don't like this skill, I'll teach you other more neutral magic knowledge. My teaching style is different from the principal's. I like to give you choices, and I respect your choices."
This attitude was completely different from the teaching style of the other professors in Hogwarts. The junior wizards sitting behind the desks couldn't help but nod their heads. They felt more comfortable with this course. Unlike the feeling of being forced to learn, this course was the result of their own choice.
"Next, before I officially start to teach you some theoretical knowledge, let's roughly summarize some of the small problems in the last practical class." As Allen spoke, he sprayed the "spring water" spell, which the first-year wizards could master, on the ground under the podium. Then, a small lightning bolt struck the water. Wherever there was water, there would immediately be crackling electric sparks. "In the first class, I arranged for you to fight. Last time, you saw with your own eyes how Draco used the lightning spell that I'm teaching you today. But the way he used it is relatively simple and crude, and too stiff. If he was more flexible, or if he understood some of the common knowledge that Muggle researched, he could combine the low-level spells and use them together. Those wizards hiding in the trenches and behind the earth walls, where his lightning couldn't strike directly, would have a hard time avoiding his attack."
"Even if the opponent has a shelter, you can still strike them down. It's easier to control the flow of water than to directly control the lightning." Allen deliberately stared at Draco and pointed at the water that spread to the corner of the wall. "There are no useless spells in the world, only wizards who don't know how to use them."
