After hearing Allen's words, the wizards became much more cautious about the Flaubert Worm and Devil's Web in front of them. No one wanted to return the dead creatures to the professors after class, even if the professors were known for their gentle and easy-going personalities.
With regards to this kind of spell that could save one's life at a critical moment, even in the two factions of Slythrin that had secretly split apart, the Magi from the clans that didn't get along with Allen also revealed expressions of joy. They excitedly discussed, as if they were the ones who had just cast the Damage Transfer spell. They impatiently extended their palms towards the prey in front of them and started chanting incantations.
Hermione had already mastered this spell, so she added another five points to Gryffindor's score almost immediately. Allen knocked on the table a few times and Luna completed the challenge. This allowed Allen, who was biased towards Ravenclaw, to add another five points to his own academy.
However, compared to the two witches, the other wizards were not doing so well.
A few members of the training class and some pure-blooded individuals, such as Draco himself, had actually learned this spell long ago, but they had never tried to control its effects. Usually, they would cast it with all their might, but now, when faced with such a weak target, they could not hold back. As a black magic, this spell would give people a pleasant feeling when they absorbed the life force of other people. Although this feeling only occurred during the casting process and would disappear after the spell was completed, it was not addictive. However, this made many wizards, who did not have a strong will, unable to control their own power when casting the spell.
Compared to the Devil's Web which had a stronger life force, the Flaubert Worm under the wizard's control was a miserable sight. Some of the students who were talented in black magic quickly mastered this spell, but it was very difficult to control its effects. Most of them directly sucked the Flaubert Worm dry. The shriveled worm wriggled on the table for a few times before it stopped moving.
"I'm sorry … Professor Harris, can you give me a few more …" Vincent Crabb raised his chubby face and smiled at Allen awkwardly.
Draco was surprised that his follower could master this spell so quickly. However, he did not expect this idiot to use up all the worms in the glass box so quickly after he lowered his head and practiced for a while. He could not help but use his eyes to signal his follower to lower his head, not daring to look at him.
"Mr. Crabb, you are quite talented in black magic, but you don't seem to have much understanding of how to control it. Pay attention to the tricks we've taught you." Then, Allen let another glass box filled with worms fly out from his pocket and slowly landed on Crabb's table. "Of course, Mr. Crabb, you'll have to return as many as you use in the end … So, I suggest you strengthen your practice in this area."
Eren stared at the fatso in front of him and shook his head. Even though Draco's followers didn't have good grades, they still had some talent in Black Magic. In the original world, Crabbe was able to learn how to cast the Burning Curse when he was in the 7th grade. However, because he only learned how to cast the Burning Curse and didn't learn how to counter the curse, he was burned to death by the flames he cast … Let's hope that he would listen to Eren's advice and change the situation.
As this was the first time Allen's students came into contact with black magic, they were only practicing healing. Only a small number of wizards who were very familiar with the spell dared to try advanced spells like damage transfer. Some impatient wizards imitated Allen and tried to transfer the life force of the Devil's Web to the Flaubert Worm. However, the result was that both worms died.
The Professor of Ancient Magic seemed to be prepared for this situation. New glass boxes kept flying out of his pouch.
Some of the more soft-hearted adepts couldn't bear to see this happen. They couldn't bring themselves to attack the Flobber Worms and the Devil's Web.
"As I said, this' Vampiric Touch 'is indeed a black magic spell. However, if used in the right situation, it can be beneficial even if it's a black magic spell." Allen walked to Katie Bell. He did not criticize the little witch who did not even want to hurt worms. Instead, he smiled gently and said, "Wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind, Katie. Although you're a Gryffindor, I think you're talented enough to understand the meaning of this sentence."
Before Katie could respond, Allen turned to Hannah Abo from Hufflepuff. Hannah's face turned redder as she felt that she had failed the professor's trust. Unlike other pureblood families, ever since Aura from the Ministry of Magic saved her mother who was attacked by Death Eaters last autumn, her family had a good impression of Harris who represented the Ministry of Magic, even though they did not agree with Allen's recent declaration.
"Relax, Ms. Abo. Maybe you should remember how you treat some small animals when you're cooking?" Allen said in a gentle but teasing tone, "As far as I know, some of the house elves in the kitchen told me that you guys always bring some living things back to your common room … I bet if you can adjust your emotions and think of it as part of your cooking, you can do it well …"
This sentence made the little badgers who shared the same hobby as Hannah very embarrassed. It also made them realize that perhaps, compared to the others present, their hands were stained with the most blood. The students of the other academies did not have much interest in cooking according to the magic recipe, although this did not hinder their habit of being soft-hearted when it came to killing without the goal of food.
This made the atmosphere in the classroom, which had become a little depressing, relaxed. Allen, who had turned on the verbal lecture mode, was not satisfied so he turned to face Ernie McMillan who was next to him. The blond wizard quickly expressed his attitude, "I'm sorry, professor. It's not that I don't have the heart, I just don't have the confidence to use this spell well. I want to practice it again and succeed in one try."
"It's good to be cautious, Mr. McMillan. But sometimes, even if you're not Gryffindor, you still need a little courage." Allen nodded at him. He understood the mentality of the pure-blooded wizard who was more exaggerated in Hufflepuff. He seemed to have thought of something and said, "Speaking of which, a few years ago, in the last World Cup in Quidditch, an elite female wizard from the Ministry of Magic and I used this spell to save an elderly French witch and transferred her injuries to the Death Eaters. I didn't expect that the witch was the grandmother of Hibiscus Chinensis Dracul. My brother, Albert Harris, took the opportunity to establish a relationship with her."
This made many of the male wizards even more motivated. They also used a new wave of Flaubert's Worms.
Faced with the activity of the male wizards, many of the witches who had not made a move could not help but pout. After a little hesitation, they felt that it was better to use the Devil's Web as a target than to deal with the brown worms that spat out sticky liquid. At least they were plants, which made them look more caring.
Jenny was one of them due to her loathing of mucus. However, Weasley's upbringing made it so that even though she was quite talented in black magic, she didn't have any similar experience to refer to when using this type of spell. Before her magic could take effect, her hand was entangled in the Devil's Web.
The Gryffindor girl cried out in alarm. Because of the unpleasant sensation caused by the tentacles, she began to violently pull them away. Harry and Hermione, who were familiar with the Devil's Web and had dealt with it in the first grade, kept reminding their girlfriends and girlfriends that the Devil's Web would loosen when they relaxed their bodies and stopped struggling. But the effect was not very good. Jenny's current expression was the same as her brother Ron's, a little too nervous when encountering such a thing.
Harry did not dare to directly cast a spell on the Devil's Web, for fear of burning his girlfriends. He knew that the Devil's Web liked dark and damp environments, and light and warmth were naturally its natural enemies.
Seeing this, Allen, who was still standing beside Ernie, stretched out his hand and aimed at Jenny from a distance.
In an instant, the Devil's Web in Jenny's hand withered. Allen had used the Arcane Hands ability he had learned in ancient times to turn the Vampiric Touch spell, which originally required close contact, into a long-range spell to help Jenny out of her predicament.
"What … is this magic? Isn't this a close-range spell? " Theodore Nott saw that Allen had cast the spell from a few feet away. He rubbed his mantis-like eyes and raised his head to look at Allen with vigilance.
Almost all the wizards who were paying attention to this scene were in an uproar. This kind of magic that required close contact was rare in modern times, but it was not unheard of. Even the wizard families who were related to the Mysterious Man were well aware of the effects of the replica of Bellatrix's Hand of Victor that the Mysterious Man had given to him during the Goblet of Fire era. This Vampiric Touch was also one of the abilities of that hand. The pure-blooded wizards who were not on good terms with Allen racked their brains to recall the books they had read before, but they could not understand how Allen had done it.
"This spell is not something you can do at your current level. It's a special technique similar to Silent Incantation and Magic Staff Casting. It's not suitable for students to spend a lot of time and energy studying it, because most adult wizards are not talented enough to learn it. But if you have the heart, perhaps you can go to the Ravenclaw Temple to explore the deeper mysteries of magic in the future." Allen walked back to the podium. This was a special technique that Allen had learned from the Netherese Scroll, so in fact, other than Harris' family members, no other wizard could learn it.
