Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 236 Cedric is reborn

After quietly listening to Mike's explanation of his plan, Franklin's face immediately showed an expression of admiration.

Ever since the day Franklin met Mike, Mike had established an image of being almost omnipotent in front of Franklin. Now when he heard that Mike actually had such a wish, Franklin naturally nodded in agreement.

Penelope is a girl who is much more thoughtful than Franklin. Franklin might think of Mike as a kind-hearted man, but Penelope would never think so.

After spending so much time together, Penelope was sure that Mike was a pure egoist.

He will not refuse to help those in need while making a profit, but he will never damage his own interests in order to help others.

So Mike must have other purposes for doing this.

However, Penelope did not expose Mike. Instead, she readily agreed like Franklin.

Because she knew that even if Mike did this, he must have his reasons. And Mike would never hurt her.

"Okay, I was right about you." Mike said happily, "Let's get started now."

After that, Mike began to teach the two of them.

As for the magic spell of the invisible sword, Mike himself had just learned it, so he was naturally not qualified to teach others.

So after briefly explaining the release process and feeling of Shenfeng Wuying, he let Franklin and Penelope study on their own later.

After all, the difficulty of learning the magic spell of Divine Strike and Shadowless is not that high. Mike believes that with their talents, even if they cannot learn Divine Strike and Shadowless as he did in one night, they will be able to cast it proficiently in two days. At most, the power will be weaker.

Therefore, his teaching focus was still on the Patronus Charm.

Surprisingly, Franklin, a guy with strong limbs and a simple mind, made faster progress in learning the Patronus Charm than the meticulous Penelope. After Mike gave them several hours of theoretical lessons, Franklin successfully cast the Patronus Charm.

Even if it's just a little bit of light mist, it's much better than Penelope being unable to release anything.

This made Mike wonder whether the release of the Patronus Charm had something to do with a pure and innocent mind.

Although her progress on the Patronus Charm was very slow, Penelope did not feel depressed at all.

Penelope is not Franklin. She had done detailed research on the Patronus Charm after being attacked on the train, so she knew the difficulty of this spell.

Mike didn't care even more. He let Penelope and Franklin learn the Patronus Charm just to let others know that he had the ability to teach others the Patronus Charm, which was a "weapon against Dementors".

He would only be unhappy if Penelope and Franklin's attainments in the Patronus Charm surpassed Mike's.

After all, if you, the apprentice, are better than your master, how is your master going to make a living?

In the following days, Mike would run to the Room of Request every day after school.

In addition to teaching Penelope and Franklin every night, Mike spends the rest of his time thinking about the future.

Mike has been thinking about enhancing his combat power and combat strategy for a long time. Although he now has the magic spell of the invisible sword, it is still not enough.

So after careful consideration, Mike decided on the next spell he should master:

The Grim Fire Curse, the Apparition Curse, the Unbreakable Vow and the Curse of the End.

First is the Fierce Fire Curse.

This is an extremely terrifying black magic, and its literal translation in English should be devil's fire.

From the name, you can understand that the flame released by this fire spell is very different from ordinary flames.

In fact, the Fiery Flame is a flame with cursed power. Its power is so amazing that it can ignite most substances at will, including souls.

It can also destroy special items such as Horcruxes.

Moreover, it is very difficult to destroy. Once ignited, it will gather together and transform into ordinary beasts or magical creatures, constantly devouring and igniting everything around it to strengthen itself.

The above are its advantages, but it also has a very fatal disadvantage, that is, it is extremely difficult to control and consumes a huge amount of magic power.

These two shortcomings often lead to weaker wizards being devoured by the fierce fire they summoned after taking the risk of releasing this spell.

But this did not stop Mike from being eager to learn it. In Mike's opinion, the advantages of this spell were enough to make him ignore the subsequent disadvantages.

The Fierce Fire Curse is a spell that can serve as his most powerful means of attack in the future!

To a certain extent, Mike decided to learn the Apparition Charm and the End of All Spells in order to better master the Fiery Blaze Charm.

There is no need to say much about the ability of Shapeshifting. When the time comes, you can just cast the Fierce Fire Curse and then immediately Shapeshift and run away. Isn't that great?
Although Mike has two tools, Shuke and Beta, who can take him with him in teleportation, Shuke and Beta's shadow shifting skills cannot achieve short-distance precise positioning and teleportation like ignoring.

In this case, Mike would not be able to use the teleportation that he had been dreaming of.

As for the unbreakable oath, it is simply a magic spell for making an oath, which is said to have been invented by goblins.

Once the oath made under this spell is violated, the betrayer will pay the price with his life.

The last "All Mantras Will End" is actually an advanced version of the "Mantra That Stops All Mantras".

The effect of the Stop Curse Spell is to stop the magic effect in effect. It is often used to cancel the prank spell such as "Front Teeth Like Bludgeons". People with strong strength, such as professors, can rely on the Stop Curse Spell to cancel the attack spells such as "Petrify All" and "Faint on the Ground".

What's more, it can also remove the enchantment effects on alchemical items.

The End of All Spells is much more powerful than the Stop Spell. It can eliminate most magical effects including Fiercefire. Some people even call it the universal counter-spell, which means it can act as a counter-spell to all spells.

However, the All Curses Are Not as powerful as others claim. Not to mention the huge amount of magic power needed to release it, the talent and time required to learn it are enough to discourage most wizards.

Although it is extremely difficult, Mike still wants to try to learn this spell.

After all, whether the Fierce Fire Curse can be turned into a controllable force as soon as possible depends on it.

However, although Mike's idea was very good, the facts slapped him hard in the face.

The above four spells are not within the scope of teaching at Hogwarts. All Curses of Death and Unbreakable Vow are slightly better because they are too difficult and do not cause any harm, so the Ministry of Magic does not regulate them. With Mike's current financial resources, it is not difficult for him to buy a tutorial on the market.

But Apparition and Fiery Flame were different; these two spells were regulated by the Ministry of Magic, especially the latter. This extremely harmful spell was strictly regulated by the Ministry of Magic, and its power was even stronger than the three Unforgivable Curses.

As for the final Apparition spell, Mike originally thought that he could easily learn this spell, after all, Professor Flitwick knew it.

But to his disappointment, when he found Professor Flitwick and told him his purpose, Professor Flitwick rejected him without any hesitation.

The reason is that the Apparition spell involves the use of space travel, and if you are not careful when using it, you may hurt yourself, so Mike was made to wait for two years.

Although he couldn't learn the two spells he wanted to learn the most, Mike was not idle either.

He spent all the rest of his time studying ancient magic runes and alchemy.

It has to be said that people who study alchemy have a rigorous way of thinking. The book they wrote for beginners, "Alchemy: From Beginner to Mastery", is much more rigorous than books on other subjects.

At least the descriptions of quantifiers in the book are very precise, and words like "appropriate amount" and "a little" do not appear.

It even records some methods of making alchemical toys to increase beginners' interest in alchemy.

But the second half of the book is not so friendly to beginners.

I don’t know what the author was thinking, but the overall difficulty of the second half of the book suddenly increases, even to the point where it is difficult to understand.

However, Mike did not give up. Instead, he studied harder. After all, if alchemy could be combined with the ever-changing modern technology, it would become a force that could not be ignored.

On the other hand, the boring ancient magic course was also very interesting to Mike.

Thanks to Ms. Ravenclaw's legacy, Mike's progress in the Ancient Rune class was much faster than the professor's teaching schedule, which allowed him to be exposed to more profound content earlier.

For example, enchantment.

Ancient magic runes combined with alchemy is an interesting and wonderful combination.

If possible, Mike hopes he can stay in the Room of Requirement forever to do experiments, but in fact there are still many things outside that need him to deal with.

Like Quidditch.

"Mike!" Roger Davis, who was wearing a full set of Quidditch protective gear, excitedly grabbed Mike's shoulders and pleaded, "The Quidditch League is about to start, we need you!"

Mike broke free from Roger's hands, frowned, and continued walking towards the Room of Requirement.

"Sorry, I'm busy. I have too many classes on Ancient Runes."

"Please, Mike! The Weasley brothers updated their brooms this year! With Harry's, they now have three Nimbus 2001s!" Roger quickly followed Mike and shouted excitedly, "We will definitely lose without you!"

Roger's voice was so loud that Mike had a slight tinnitus, which made Mike's frown even tighter.

"Listen, Roger! I'm very busy lately! I don't have time to play Quidditch!"

Mike turned his head and looked at Roger with a bad face. Roger was helpless now. Ever since Mike won the fighting competition, his reputation soared. Everyone in Hogwarts knew that Mike was a powerful wizard, so Roger could not force Mike to participate in the competition. He could only lower his head in disappointment.

Mike saw this and realized that what he said was too much, so he slowed down his tone and comforted him:
"I also hope that you can achieve good results. After all, this is to bring honor to Ravenclaw House. But I am really busy recently."

After thinking for a while, Mike continued, "How about this, I'll lend you my broom. After this period, if you really need help, I will come to participate in the competition."

Mike's words made Roger look better. He nodded at Mike and prepared to leave.

At this moment, an acquaintance walked out from the crowd and said in a teasing tone:

"Oh, it looks like we can win easily this year."

Roger was furious when he heard this. He quickly walked up to the man and said viciously, "How dare you, a defeated general, come out and fart! You are really going backwards, Cedric!"

One of them is the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, and the other is the captain of Hufflepuff.

Their movements naturally attracted a crowd of onlookers.

In full view of everyone, Cedric took a step forward and pressed his forehead against Roger's, cursing continuously.

Roger naturally would not show weakness and pushed back with all his strength.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Mike finally stepped in to persuade them to stop.

The Hufflepuff students were not unreasonable people. Knowing that their captain was in the wrong, they surrounded Roger and began to move outside, saying nice things to him.

Seeing that he had a way out, Roger naturally stopped hesitating and was dragged away half-heartedly.

After Roger disappeared from sight, Mike smiled at Cedric and said, "Long time no see, Cedric. It seems that you are doing well."

"If you mean the aftereffects of that transformation, then it's not bad." Cedric raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't get angry easily anymore, but my personality is still affected."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Mike could reply, Cedric smiled mischievously and said, "But I quite like this change. To be honest, I feel much more relaxed now than before!"

At the beginning, Mike was wondering why Cedric would do such an arrogant thing as mocking Roger. Now after listening to Cedric's explanation, he finally understood.

Cedric is his good friend. Although Mike thinks that Cedric with his old personality is easier to get along with, now that Cedric himself says that it is better now, Mike can only wish him the best.

That's the way to be friends. You can't force your ideas on others. After all, your ideas are just your thoughts. Maybe the other person thinks that the way he is now is better.

"Then I really want to congratulate you on your new life!"

Mike was in a hurry to go to the Room of Requirement to do experiments. After a quick blessing, he was about to leave.

However, after hearing Mike's blessing, Cedric's eyes lit up, and he put his arm around Mike's shoulders and said:
"Hahaha! You're right! I'm reborn! I'm in a really good mood today, and we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't we go have a drink together!"

Although he said the invitation, he didn't actually give Mike the right to refuse.

Before Mike could say anything, Cedric laughed wildly and pulled Mike to the Hufflepuff common room.

Cedric made no effort to hide his intention to take Mike out for a drink, and even said it out loud.

If this just happened in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff's territory, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, these two people are the celebrities of their respective colleges, and no one in the same college is willing to offend them.

But this was a public place, and there were more than just Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs here.

So, shortly after the two left, a Slytherin student sneakily left the crowd and went to Snape's office.
