Chapter 516 Training (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)
Under the azure sky, Ryan and Hermione stood on the dock and watched the cruise ship sail further and further away on the equally azure sea until it disappeared after passing a small island. After that, the two left the dock and found a deserted place and returned to the Wanjie Grocery Store with the rose crystal.

After returning to the Wanjie Grocery Store, the system informed Ryan that he had gained 95 offset points on this trip. This was due to the large-scale changes in the plot. As for the Qin Shihuang Tomb in the original third movie, Ryan said that it was too dangerous in this era, and it would be safer for him not to go east.

After they had packed their clothes and had Rose Crystal check them to make sure they were all right, they left the All Worlds Grocery Store and reappeared in the Forbidden Forest, then returned to the castle. In the castle's lobby, they happened to meet Harry and Ron who were about to go to the Quidditch field to practice after finishing their homework.

"Where did you go just now? I couldn't find you two right after class." Ron asked Ryan and the others.

"Some personal matters." Ryan's mouth curled up slightly, and then changed the subject, "Are you guys going out to practice?"

"Yes." Harry nodded. "Although we won the first game, we can't let our guard down. We still have to practice hard for the College Cup. Especially for me, who is the captain for the first time, it is very important to lead everyone to victory."

"Well, I wish you all the best in training, and we'll see you at dinner." After saying goodbye to Harry and the others, Ryan returned to the Gryffindor common room.

It was Saturday when the book club got together again. After simply solving the academic problems that everyone had accumulated over the previous week, it was time for Ryan to teach magic. Unlike what one would imagine as the homework load became heavier, there were fewer and fewer academic problems that needed to be solved during the book club gathering.

Of course, this is not because everyone has fewer questions, but now that everyone is basically familiar with each other, when they encounter problems in daily life, they will consciously gather together with other members to discuss the problems, and only when they really cannot be solved will they bring them to the party to ask. In this way, there are naturally fewer problems at the party.

"Okay, like I said last time. I will teach you some offensive magic for self-defense, but I need to state in advance that these magics are different from the prank magics you usually use. They are magics that truly have lethal effects. So, I don't want you to use these magics in your daily life, and I don't want to hear that innocent people have been hurt by these magics." After the academic discussion session ended, Ryan ran to the stage and said to the reading club members who were looking at him with expectant eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd immediately became noisy, and everyone asked, "Ryan, what spell are you going to teach us?" "Last time you said it was an offensive spell, isn't it some kind of dark magic?" "I wonder if the magic you are teaching now is easy to learn?"

"Quiet." Hermione, who was standing next to Ryan, took a step forward, then held the podium and shouted to the audience. "Please let our president Ryan finish speaking before you speak one by one. He won't be able to answer your questions at all now."

Because Hermione usually manages the club's affairs and discipline, in the minds of the club members, she puts more psychological pressure on them than scholars like Ryan. So after Hermione finished speaking, the crowd immediately returned to silence.

"Okay, let me make it clear first. What I teach is definitely not black magic. These magics are actually some variations of Transfiguration and spells. They are just adjusted to be suitable for combat." After saying this, Ryan raised his voice before the students below could discuss. "The first magic I will teach you today is Fireball."

"Fireball?" Hermione's roommate Angela Marcus asked curiously. "Um, do you play Dungeons & Dragons?"

"It just adopted this name." Ryan was also helpless. He had always thought that things like fireball and magician were only popular in the computer age through computer games. But when he combined natural magic with the materials he learned from the Celestial Empire to form a set of simple combat spells and named these magics, Hermione reminded him that these things were from the game.

Ryan didn't believe it at first, but later he found that most of the computer games born in the future actually have tabletop versions in this era. For example, dnd, the basis of the most common Western fantasy background games in the future, is now a very famous tabletop game. However, Ryan, who is not good at naming, not only did not think of another name, but simply took a few game manuals to name his magic. After announcing the magic to be taught today, Ryan came down from the stage and cleared the middle of the classroom. Then he conjured a human-shaped wooden target and placed it in the middle. He stepped back two steps and said in Latin: "Fireball."

Instantly, a light spot not much bigger than a soybean flew out from Ryan's wand. After the light spot touched the wooden target, it exploded with a bang, leaving a charred mark the size of a person's palm on the wooden target. However, after Ryan waved his wand to cut off the charred part, everyone saw from the cross section that the burnt part had only burned the outermost one millimeter at most.

"It doesn't look very good." Justin complained, "It seems that the effect of this spell is not as strong as the Stunning Spell."

"Do you really think so?" Ryan showed a mysterious smile, and then took out three black marble-sized balls from the leather bag on his waist. Neville, who was closer to him, smelled an unpleasant smell from them, and then asked, "What is this?"

"Asphalt and fluorescent edelweiss are mixed in a five-to-one ratio." Ryan said, "Fluorescent edelweiss is the main ingredient of the cold medicine that Madam Pomfrey gave us. Two Sickles can buy one and a half pounds. Asphalt is even cheaper, two pounds for one knut. The outside world uses this stuff to pave roads or waterproof roofs."

"Then what's the use of this thing? Should we eat it?" Luna asked, staring at Ryan with her bulging eyes.

"It's used like this." Ryan touched the three balls with the end of his wand, then read in Latin: "Fire."

Instantly, the three small balls turned into a pool of black liquid, and then quickly crawled along the wand to the head of the wand. After watching the liquid fixed on the head of the wand, Ryan turned around and asked the students around him to cast the Armor Spell on him.

After Hermione confirmed that all the armor spells were ready, Ryan used the fireball spell again. The same light spot fell on the wooden target and exploded in the shocked eyes of everyone. Suddenly, a huge fireball enveloped the entire wooden target, and the sturdy wooden board was blown into pieces in the explosion.

"Isn't this as powerful as a grenade?" Angela, who comes from a military family, looked at the scene in shock. "It seems that this kind of magic is indeed worth learning."

His thoughts also represent the thoughts of everyone who saw this purpose, so everyone was very serious in the following study. It was not until the reminder bell rang before curfew that Ryan successfully persuaded those excited students to go back and rest. Of course, when they went out, Ryan repeatedly reminded them that it was best to practice in a deserted place near the lake. At the same time, they were not allowed to use spellcasting materials during practice.

Just as Ryan was leaving after cleaning up the place, a bird made of parchment flew in front of him and stopped. He opened it and found that it was a note from Professor Dumbledore, asking Ryan to go to his office for a cup of tea at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. At the end, it also included the password for his office tomorrow.

"Who gave this to you?" Hermione asked, looking at the note in Ryan's hand.

"Our principal." Ryan shrugged. "The things we practiced today are indeed somewhat dangerous, so it is normal for the principal to talk to me for safety reasons. Don't worry, nothing should happen."
