The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 297: The Feasibility of Applying Apparition in Combat

Having mastered Apparition, Andy had essentially completed his Christmas holiday mission.

It can run fast and fight, and its safety is greatly improved.

After thinking for a moment, Andy suddenly said, "Oh, right! Before this holiday, Professor Snape gave me a copy of 'Advanced Potions Making,' which was his textbook from his student days."

"Oh?" Helen looked at Andy with some surprise.

Andy continued, "Professor Snape improved many potion recipes and brewing steps. I originally intended to give them to you as a Christmas present, but after thinking about it, I think it's better to give them to you now."

Knowledge is something you should learn and use as early as possible.

Helen, quick to grasp the key point, asked, "Why would Snape give you his old textbooks for no apparent reason?"

Oh no…!

Andy opened his mouth and said, "I'm Professor Snape's favorite student."

Well! Even Andy himself didn't believe that, and he didn't expect Helen to believe it either.

"I gave him a bottle of snake blood as a Christmas present."

Andy retorted dismissively, "Do we still want the book?"

"Let me take a look," Helen said.

Andy dashed back to his bedroom and pulled the book "Advanced Potion Making" out of the box. By the time Andy came downstairs, Helen and Isabel had already returned to the living room from outside.

"Here! This is the book." Andy handed the book over.

Helen took the book and casually flipped through a few pages.

"Although I knew Snape was highly skilled in potions, I never expected..."

Helen looked surprised. "This is a book from his student days?"

Even without Andy's answer, just looking at the cover of this book, one can tell that it's quite old.

As a master potion maker, Helen could naturally see the true value of this book.

As long as you follow the improved steps in the book, even a wizard who is not very proficient in potion-making can brew a high-quality potion.

How many Galleons would that be?

"Tsk tsk!"

Helen exclaimed in astonishment, "I never imagined that a Slytherin who was bullied by us Gryffindor could achieve such things."

Andy, being gossipy, asked, "How did you bully him? Besides hanging him upside down like a bell, did you do anything else?"

Helen rolled her eyes at Andy upon hearing this, "A bottle of snake blood can't buy a book like this."

After saying that, Helen carefully put the book away.

Although she disliked Snape, a Slytherin, Helen naturally wanted to continue the tradition of using Snape's knowledge to defeat him, which was a tradition of their Gryffindor class.

Andy chuckled. "We're good friends."

Helen, of course, didn't believe it.

Can Snape be on good terms with you?

In this world, if you have any Gryffindor relatives within three generations, Snape will never like you.

However, Helen did not press the matter further.

Ever since learning that Andy had killed a thousand-year-old basilisk, Helen felt that her child was not as carefree as he appeared.

Last night, Helen was planning to practice trumpet with Kyle again—in Helen's words, Andy is hard to manage now, and if he were to die one day from his recklessness, the Collins family line would end.

Kyle was naturally worried after hearing this, so he started diligently creating alternate accounts...

cough!

The days spent at home during the holidays were relaxing and leisurely. However, for Andy, not much had actually changed.

Aside from occasionally spending time with his family, Andy's life still revolves around reading and practicing magic.

In addition to Apparition, Andy also learned the Divine Edge.

The Divine Blade Without Shadow can unleash invisible magical blades, and with Andy's current magical prowess, it would be enough to slice a person into pieces.

This is a very useful magic.

Aside from the exclusive counter-curse "Quick Healing," wounds inflicted by the Divine Sharp Shadow cannot be treated by any other means.

Whether it's injuring enemies or killing people, Shenfeng Wuying can accomplish the task very well.

……

As the days went by, and with repeated practice, Andy became more and more proficient in Apparition.

After successfully completing a long-distance apparition, Helen finally announced, "Andy, you can graduate from apparition now."

"Hmm!" Andy wasn't surprised at all.

After all, the talent of [Spellcasting: 7] is not just for show. If Helen's requirements hadn't been so high, Andy could have officially graduated in just two days.

"Mom, is there anyone who can use the Apparition spell in battle?" Andy asked curiously.

A mage who can't teleport to another mage's location isn't a good mage.

In the games Andy played in his previous life, teleportation was practically a standard skill for mages. It was precisely because of teleportation that mages were able to employ the tactic of "kiting."

"What are you thinking about?"

Helen retorted irritably, "When you're Apparating, someone can hit you even if they throw a knife."

Andy thought about it and agreed.

Apparition is fast, but it's too slow in a battle where every second counts.

Hmm... Is there any way to increase casting speed?

Andy recalled the key points of Apparition: first, identify the target, then fill his body with the thought of "I want to go there"... that's the speed of thought.

Andy thought to himself, "As long as I improve my [Mind] attribute and practice for a long time, I can complete the first two steps of Apparition in an instant."

The key is the last step... turn around on the spot and feel your body become nothingness.

Putting everything else aside, just the simple action of turning around takes a while to complete.

"However, the turning around gesture, like waving a wand, isn't actually necessary. Once you've mastered a spell, you can simplify the casting process," Andy thought to himself.

Seeing Andy standing there deep in thought, Helen wanted to offer a word of advice, telling him not to get ahead of himself. In her thirty-plus years of life, she had never seen anyone use Apparition in combat.

That's magic for escaping.

However, considering Andy's magical talent, Helen ultimately said nothing.

This kid can even improve the Guardian Charm, so what's so special about improving Apparition?

Without disturbing Andy, Helen turned and went into the house.

Andy, on the other hand, recalled the magical knowledge he had learned and searched for a theory to improve Apparition.

First of all, Apparition is also a type of magic derived from the basic theory of "mind control magic".

Secondly... is that feeling of being stuffed into a tube when casting a spell, like traveling through a spatial tunnel?

Andy analyzed, "If the turning action is for better entry into the space tunnel, then this action can actually be avoided."
