HPMRS CH 154: Weekend!

When Professor Jason allowed everyone to start the trials, Ryan immediately took out his wand and started experimenting according to the method taught by the professor.

"Expecto Patronum (ex-PEK-toh pa-TRO-num)" After chanting the mantra, Ryan found no response. This is a normal reaction, after all, the Guardian charm is a high-level charm. If you can fully use this charm, you can get extra points in the fifth-year ordinary wizard rank test.

Naturally, the probability that such a charm can be successfully cast by someone at the first try is very small, and the two next to him are not any better. Professor Jason took the trouble to remind them: "You need the memory of inner happiness, and the determination to protect your cherished things. In short, you need enough positive emotions to release this charm."

Ryan began to remember how happy he was when he got reincarnated and learned that he had gotten another chance at life. And the joy of saving a lot of people before, and then raised the magic wand I'm his hand.

"Expecto Patronum." Now Ryan saw a puff of silver smoke gushing out from the tip of his wand. Finally, towards the end of today's course, Ryan found that his spell could produce a lot of silver smoke. The progress of the other two students was similar.

"Very good, " Professor Jason said with a smile, "I will bring a dementor here next Friday afternoon, as long as you can block the attack of the dementor with the charm of the Patronus, I'll be satisfied with your learning. As for the Patronus taking embodiment, that takes a long time of practice and experience."

Facing a real dementor in the second practice? Ryan looked shocked, this kind of practice was simply too dangerous, if not for the presence of the professor, it'll be suicidal. You should know that Lupin only used a Boggart as a teaching aid when he taught Harry, but here they're teaching with the real deal, I smell cartels.

However, the other two students from the school did not show any surprised expressions. After leaving the classroom, David explained it kindly, and Ryan finally figured out the reason.

Castelobruxo is good at the courses of magical plants and Magical Creatures, and they use a lot of various creatures in their teaching.

Compared with the United Kingdom, where most magical creatures are relatively safe as dangerous ones were either banned, killed, relocated, or forced to live in a secluded place, the danger of magical creatures in the Amazon is much higher. So they both felt that it was normal to use the Dementor as a teaching aid, not to mention that there will be a professor next to them. There was absolutely no worrying about safety.

Contrast this down, the United Kingdom's wizards education is more 'civilized' as the education system there is made to churn out more members for ministry and such.

Maybe this is the benefit of programme, to get to know your shortcomings in comparison with other schools.

Because of the study just now, everyone is already very tired. So they went to dinner after saying goodbye to each other.

The next day happened to be off as it was Saturday, so Ryan planned to take a good night's sleep. He was awakened by Hermione when he was sleeping soundly in his bed in the morning, and Ryan saw her standing neatly in the room.

"Get up quickly, you can't be lazy in the training every Saturday because you are not at Hogwarts." She said loudly, and at the same time she drew the curtains up to let the sun shine into the room.

Ryan was sweating now, but thankfully he had learned to sleep in pajamas after many years of experience as an adult in his previous life, so he was not in an awkward situation now. But he was surprised, blocking the sun shining on his face with his hand, he said: "Hermione--? This is my dormitory, how come you are here"

"Don't you know that this carriage is the same as our school's dormitory? Girls can enter the boys' dormitory. The legend is that the founder of the school believed that boys are less reliable than girls," Hermione raised her eyebrows and said.

"It's not fair." Ryan murmured, then turned his head and said to Hermione: "Well, I'm going to get up now to wash. Please wait outside for now."

After washing, Ryan came to the corridor of the carriage, where Hermione was already waiting. The magic of space folding was also applied here, so the corridor is very spacious, and they decided to practice here today.

Because today is the first practice of this school year, the two people started with some exercises, which can be regarded as a summary of the previous school year, and at the same time as a reference for the next step. Naturally, during this kind of pairing, Ryan would limit his ability to only use spells and powers to the level similar to Hermione's, otherwise, the pairing would be meaningless.

Through the experience of studying magic together for a long time, Ryan found that although Hermione was not a genius in the study of combat magic (Harry is a genius in combat, call it plot armor, call it chosen, call it mad luck, he's crazy talented in combat.), but her cleverness and hard work is what helps her achieve everything on most of the skills, and the magic battle is naturally included.

For example, this time Hermione, who only mastered the spells in the textbook, performed better in that combat class than Daphne, who has family heritage.

In the middle of practice, Ryan found after several exercises, Hermione began to adapt to his style of combat, she wasn't just following the exercise routine tactics anymore, she was improving, just a little, but improvement is an improvement.

For example, she can now predict his actions by observing Ryan's actions and then cast appropriate charms. Many charms that Ryan would have simply avoided in the past, had to be blocked by him using Protego now, and Ryan was almost overwhelmed by the glass beads she suddenly transfigured when he moved to change positions.

Fortunately, Ryan has recently gained enough combat experience in the wasteland, so he can easily defeat Hermione in the dueling practice. If he was only experienced in dealing with zombies as before, then maybe Hermione would've got the last laugh just now.

After the exercise, two people sat directly on the carpet in the hallway, panting. Hermione wiped the sweat from her brows, and said: "I've always imagined magic combat to be like what the book depicted: two attractive wizards waving their wands, firing one spell after another at each other until one overwhelms the other, or the wizard stands still and blocks every spell cast at him."

"Perhaps a wizard of Dumbledore's level could do what you say, but our current level is simply unable to determine the details of the spell that is coming from the opposite side, while also accurately using the magic power to offset the enemy's magic or choosing the right defensive spell. In this case, the only way to avoid damage in actual combat is to dodging and create a better angle for attack. After all, even if the killing curse is aimed at you, it will not cause harm if it can't hit you." Ryan went back to the room and took a pot of juice and poured a glass for Hermione and said.

"I think I have practiced hard enough, how do you have so much stamina and agility?" Hermione asked depressedly after taking a sip of juice.

"I've practiced longer than you. It's only natural that I'll be more proficient than you. But to be honest, you can now use all kinds of magic in battle, which is already very powerful. As far as I know, most of the students at Hogwarts cannot do this. They would only choose battle-related magic when fighting, which is far less flexible."

After listening to Ryan's compliment, Hermione felt a little embarrassed, her ears began to turn red. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by the sound of knocking on the glass window.
