Chapter 786 Delayed Casting

Chapter 786 Delayed Casting
"Why hasn't Professor Snape come out yet?"

"I want to know how he became so white. It seems like every time a zombie passes by, he takes a breath of Yang energy."

"What is Yang Qi?"

"Don't worry about the details!"

"I want to know how to get in shape. Even if it's temporary!"

"Aren't you afraid of being deducted points?"

"Don't worry! The school year is already over to some extent now. Normally, no points will be deducted!"

"What about Harry Potter and the others in their first year?"

"That's the principal's bonus. Can it be the same?"

"So I want to be the principal too?"

Harry, who ran to the basement to talk to his mother, looked confused.

Right now, Snape's office, which all students used to avoid, was filled with lower-grade students whose exams had ended last week.

Harry had no choice but to leave the basement in shame, fearing that he would be discovered by these excited underclassmen.

He clearly saw that among the junior students surrounding the office, several were members of the Harry Potter Club.

Maybe it's because my body is too good, far superior to that of ordinary people.

In addition, he accidentally used the wind magic taught by Dumbledore.

With a few steps, he turned into a shadow in the eyes of others.

When he came to his senses, he had already reached the edge of the forbidden forest.

This place is right next to Black Lake.

Splash! A shark appeared from the calm lake surface.

Harry was about to wave his wand when he realized that the shark in front of him was a wizard.

He has a human lower body and is wearing swimming trunks, with a shark's head on top.

"Krum?" Harry asked.

He determined Krum's identity from the style of his swimming trunks.

Of course, this could also be Ron.

He had the same pair of shorts with Krum's head printed on them, also in black.

The shark's head swayed in the air and returned to human form.

A thick-browed, refreshing, dark-skinned face of Snape was revealed.

There is no doubt that he is Krum.

Apart from Snape, he is the only one with this hooked nose.

"How do you know it's mine?" Krum was curious.

"Here you are practicing diving without a snorkel. You can tell at a glance that you are a warrior in the championship.
You are the only warrior with dark yellow skin." Harry said without thinking.

"Would you like to join us?" Krum stretched out his right hand and made an invitation.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"No." Harry shook his head.

“Are you also an indoor party?”

"What do you mean?" Harry looked at Krum and came to the conclusion after careful observation, "Is this related to Elvas?"

His conclusion is not surprising.

Due to being ostracized by all students at Durmstrang.

Apart from occasional dates with the Slytherin girl from the Yule Ball, Krum was alone.

Until Elvas became his friend.

Then they stayed in almost everything for most of the time.

Just like Harry and Ron.

And now, Elvas is not here.

Harry looked a little depressed as he thought about Ron.

He didn't notice Krum nodding.

When he came to his senses, Krum had already spoken, “You guessed right.

I think just breathing in water is not comprehensive.

We must also dive into the bottom of the Black Lake ourselves and explore the environment at the bottom of the lake.

But Elvas doesn't think so.

He thought all he needed to practice was a bigger bath.

He said that we are now in a competitive relationship and need to hide our means of breathing underwater.

what are you thinking?

Harry, whose version do you think is more reliable?

"Krum, you've heard the story of the pony crossing the river. To a squirrel, a fast-flowing river is a stairway to death.

But for the buffalo, it is just a small river that can only cover its knees.

Elvas is different from us. He has the ability to foresee the future.

He didn't need to do any field research.

He just needs to choose the appropriate response plan based on the future scene.

For him, choosing the right spell to cast in the water is probably more important than surveying the terrain."

"A spell cast in water? Will the effectiveness of the spell change in water?" Krum frowned.

"Yes. Our spell says that the nature of the manifestation is the manifestation of our spell in the air.

In water, its shape changes.

For example, the extraction spell.

When in the air, its property is to cause people to give up the objects they hold, or to cause objects to have internal rejection and separate.

In water, it turns into a column of boiling water.

In addition to the change in the nature of the spell, we also need to learn how to delay casting and cast the spell silently."

"Silent spells. We've already learned them. That's not a problem. But what do you mean by delayed casting?"

“This is related to the principle of spellcasting.

For every spell to take effect, the source of our magic power must be involved.

Just like muscles can memorize some routine movements, so that we don’t need to consciously control our hands to use the knife and fork when eating.

Our source of magic keeps a memory of each spell we cast.

This is why the silent spell is successful.

We can recite the spell silently in our hearts and call upon the memory of the source of magic power.

Delayed casting means after you cast a spell.

When the nature of the magic power expended by the source of magic power is still in the form of a spell, it is separated from the spell and gestures.

Use this spell repeatedly without interruption.

When we are underwater, just maintaining the magic that allows us to breathe takes up a part of our mental energy.

If you use silent spells again, and use multiple of them continuously, it is very likely that the magic that maintains breathing will become unstable.

So at this time we need to use the technique of delayed casting.

Put in the effort to use the silent spell.

All you have to do next is repeat the silent mantra over and over again.

And this has an advantage as well.

That is high frequency.

A high frequency that cannot be achieved by silently reciting spells." Harry talked freely.

He is very experienced in underwater combat.

In the dream world, he also fought underwater.

Although he was underwater, he could breathe normally and did not figure out any magic to breathe underwater.

But he is not lacking in underwater combat.

Krum asked tentatively, "Can you try? I'm not doubting you.

I've also heard that when Voldemort once fought a whole team of Aurors, there was a non-stop green light of death.
